America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 159 Tit for Tat

Chapter 159 Tit for tat

Lawyer Maxwin got his wish and met his client.

"Is this my client?" he asked Pile beside him with a puzzled look on his face.

Fred's head was wrapped in a large bandage, covering half of his head and looking like a strange plaster sculpture.

At this time, he was lying flat on the wooden bed in the cell, unconscious. The loyal subordinate next to him was taking care of him.

"I protest! My client needs urgent treatment!" the lawyer shouted.

"We have given him first aid and his life is not in danger for the time being," Pile replied.

"No, you are taking human life lightly. He has not woken up yet. I request..." Before the lawyer could finish speaking,

Pile could no longer bear it:

"Fred, stop pretending. I noticed you were awake on the way back."

The "gypsum sculpture" remained motionless.

Pile was speechless. He turned his head and said to the lawyer: "Let's talk."

He knew there was nothing he could do to prevent Fred from communicating alone with his attorney, which was allowed under New Mexico law.

Then he walked out of the cell and entered the first interrogation room next door.

In the interrogation room, one of his deputies was interrogating one of Fred's men.

"What's the purpose of you guys showing up at James Ranch?"

"..."

"How many of you are here in total?"

"......."

This Fred's man pretended to be stupid the whole time and couldn't answer a word.

Peller opened the door, returned to the corridor, and moved to the second interrogation room.

The difference from the first one was that Fred's henchman who was being interrogated was a dark buddy.

He was vividly describing the battle at the ranch to the police officer who was interrogating him.

"Hey, sir, you don't know. The situation at that time was extremely scary. We were fighting with James and wanted to seek justice from them, but suddenly a dozen people rushed over from the direction of the sheepfold."

"They have no honor as warriors at all. They came to trick us and sneak attack us. Their firepower was very fierce and caught us off guard from behind. But we still fought back bravely and killed many of them."

The black man was so excited when he talked that his saliva was flying everywhere.

"But according to our investigation, there was no one there. Well, judging from the condition of the corpses, apart from your people, there were only about a dozen sheep." The interrogating police officer frowned.

"It's impossible, sir! That's because their people escaped," Brother Black said with certainty, "Or it's the devil's power, the heavy rain! Yes! That heavy rain! It must be."

What is this all about? What can be learned from this interrogation?

Pilot felt depressed for no reason, and he slammed the door of the interrogation room behind him.

It was quiet at night outside the house. In addition to the guards guarding the door of each room in the corridor, there were several people patrolling the yard outside the house.

These were all arranged by him.

Although all of Fred's men who were still alive were here and there were no weapons in their hands, he still wanted to make sure nothing went wrong.

Billy's death pained him,

He didn't want to see Father James and Emily die violently.

He knew Fred and his gang, they were cunning and cunning, and it was they who forced Billy to become a desperado.

Pilot killed Billy with his own hands, from behind, using the gun Billy had given him.

There is no way, Billy is a gangster, he is a policeman, they can only live with their destiny.

It seems that no one needs to sleep today.

He looked at the room at the end of the corridor, where Emily was.

Pile hesitated again and again, then turned around and walked back to the office opposite him.

What's the use of telling her this now?

He closed the door, poured himself a cup of coffee, sat on a chair, and planned to take a rest.

But before his butt got hot, there was another "dong-dong" knock on the door.

What is going on today? Why are so many people here?

Pilot put down the coffee cup in his hand, stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

An aquiline nose wearing a gray soft-brimmed bowler hat and an old cowboy with white hair and beard appeared outside the door. Behind them were several people with guns on their shoulders.

Piler frowned. He couldn't remember when such a group of people had appeared around him.

"Hello, Chief Pilot. My name is Lynch, and I'm a detective from the Pinkerton Detective Agency." The hooked nose got straight to the point. He took out something like a card from his suit and handed it to Pilot.

"We have obtained the law enforcement authority in New Mexico and can assist you in handling the case." He handed over another document stamped by the state court while observing Paylor's reaction.

Pyler turned the card over and looked at it twice.

He had heard of this organization, but that was all. As for the authorization from the state court, it was true.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I have enough manpower for the time being." Paylor handed the documents and cards back to Lynch. He didn't quite believe in this strange organization, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of letting the two people in.

Lincoln County was already in chaos, and he didn't want more forces to get involved.

"Can we go in and chat?" Lynch was quite thick-skinned.

Pile was a little reluctant, but let them in anyway.

"Actually, we just want to find someone." Lin Qi said while looking at the furnishings in the room, "I wonder if you have ever seen a Chinese named 'Chen Jianqiu'?"

Pilot didn't like the sinister and arrogant guy in front of him. He just wanted to see off the guests as soon as possible.

"No, sir, I have never heard of that name."

However, Lynch had no intention of leaving immediately. He reached back and took out a reward order from the entourage behind him.

"This man is a wanted fugitive in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. He has committed many major crimes. We chased him all the way here." Lynch handed the reward order to Pilot.

Palerio glanced at it and was shocked.

Isn't the man above the Chinese man I met at the grocery store and farm before? That man is still sleeping in the house in the opposite yard.

His temples throbbed.

"I've seen this person before, but he doesn't have this name."

"Oh? Could you please tell me where he is now?" Lin Qi put his hand on the edge of the table and asked with interest.

"I can't tell you his whereabouts. He is now related to a private fight that just happened in our county. We have to figure out what exactly happened. Before that, forgive me for not being able to tell you his whereabouts."

Paylor looked directly into Lynch's eyes, showing no sign of weakness.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally Lynch looked away.

"That can only be said to be a pity." He adjusted his hat, "Let's take our leave now. If there is any news, I hope you can inform me as soon as possible."

Paylor didn't say anything at first, watching Lynch turn around.

But when he walked to the door, Pile's words came from behind: "I hope you won't do anything detrimental to the public security here in Lincoln County, otherwise, I will still come after you."

The sound is loud and clear.

Lin Qi walked straight out of the door without stopping.

"He refuses to surrender." The old mayor behind Lynch said as he followed him.

Lynch turned to his deputy and pointed to the yard opposite the police station: "Is it true that you saw the news that he entered this yard?"

The deputy nodded affirmatively: "Yes, our people arrived yesterday and have been nearby. We saw him driving a carriage into this yard not long ago."

"Robbery?" the old mayor gave his own suggestion.

"No, doing this in Lincoln County will cause trouble. Let's first find out who are the people who went in with them. We will find a solution soon."

Lin Qi glanced at the courtyard wall, with a sinister smile on his lips:

"I won't let you run away this time."
