America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 160 Justice and Order

The other side.

After Sheriff Pilot left the house where Fred was being held, only the lawyer, Fred and the man who took care of him were left in the house.

The lawyer glanced outside through the window. The police guard was still standing guard at the door, but the door had been closed, so no movement in the room should be heard from the outside.

"Mr. Fred, Pilot has left." The lawyer said softly.

Although the sound is small, the effect it can bring is very significant.

The "big white sculpture" came to life and climbed out of bed.

"Did the judge tell him?" Fred opened his eyes and stared at Lawyer Maxwin.

"No, the matter is too urgent. I came over as soon as I got the news." The lawyer pursed his lips to the guard outside the door.

Fred nodded.

In addition to Pilot, many people in the police force took money from them, so it was not surprising that the lawyer got the news immediately.

"Fred, you've gone too far this time." When it came to business, the lawyer's expression became serious, "You should trust me, I can help you obtain that ranch in a more reasonable way."

He knew his "ally" very well. He had done a lot of extortion and plunder, and he had also helped him wipe his ass.

But looking at his current miserable state, he must have hit a wall.

"I don't need you to teach me what to do." Fred was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, "Don't we still have you and Mr. Judge here?"

"I'm not sure if he will help you again this time. The trap you are trying to create is too big." The lawyer shook his head, "Pale is different from the previous police chief. He is not that easy to fool."

"What?!" Fred rolled up from the bed angrily, but this movement pulled at the wound, causing pain and he lay back down again.

These bastards, how much money have they taken from me over the years, and now they run away when trouble comes.

But he was so angry that he didn't say these words because there was another Maxwine in the room who also took a lot of money from him.

At least this guy knew how to come and see me as soon as possible. If he ran away again, he would really be in trouble this time.

After experiencing a brief moment of anger and slight relief from the pain, Fred waved to the lawyer and motioned for him to come to his bedside.

"Alexander, after you get out, go to the judge first and see if he can do anything." Fred said to the lawyer, but his voice became even lower afterwards.

"If the judge can't do anything, you can help me go to a place ten kilometers west of the town to find a man named Reddy Thomas."

The name Reddy Thomas is notorious around Lincolnshire, and his wanted notice is hanging on the wall outside the door. It's just that because of his strong power, there is no way to arrest him for the time being.

"Tell him that I and a dozen of my brothers are being held here, and there are dozens of people on my farm who are making preparations." Fred continued, "In addition, after the incident is completed, James' ranch and I will That pasture in Wali Valley belongs to him."

He lied, but he couldn't tell the lawyer directly that he was close to being wiped out, and everyone who could move was in this security station.

In that case, it's hard to say whether the lawyer will help him, and it's hard to say whether the "brother" who is nominally his ally will come to rescue him, or go directly to his ranch to add insult to injury.

The lawyer was a little hesitant and retreated. This was not his professional scope.

"A thousand dollars! I'll give you a thousand dollars when this is over!" Fred made a big bet, "You know, I never break my promise."

The lawyer stopped talking. He nodded, picked up his bag, and hurried out the door.

…

Chen Jianqiu thinks this house is okay.

He had been here for several hours, but Sheriff Peller did not immediately conduct a routine inquiry on him as previously agreed.

Chen Jianqiu felt something was wrong, and he was ready to find a way to leave.

It is a top priority to get in touch with Sean, Holmes and possibly others in town as soon as possible.

However, his door was suddenly opened.

Sheriff Pilot walked in.

"Please take a seat, Sheriff." Chen Jianqiu pointed to the chair in the room and said to the Sheriff with a smile as he was a guest.

The police chief sat down and looked at the harmless-looking Chinese man in front of him.

Chen Jianqiu was keenly aware that Pailer's state was not simple.

His body was in a very alert state, like a gun with the safety button on.

His upper body was slightly tilted backwards. This posture allowed him to draw the pistol from his waist at any time.

"Relax, Sheriff, I don't have any weapons on me." Chen Jianqiu looked at the Sheriff with a smile. He did not say anything more, but looked at the Sheriff quietly.

Pile did not show any special emotions. He slightly adjusted his sitting posture.

"What were you thinking when you killed Fred's men at the sheepfold?" the Sheriff asked suddenly.

The Sheriff had no direct evidence that Fred's man was killed by a 40-caliber bullet fired from the direction of the sheepfold.

When I saw the Chinese man, his clothes were dry and he said that he had been staying in the warehouse.

But the people who killed Fred's gang were incredibly accurate with their marksmanship. Not to mention the people on James' father's farm, even he might not be able to do it.

He had no choice but to list the criminal with a high reward in front of him as a key suspect.

Chen Jianqiu stared into the police chief's eyes. He guessed what the police chief was thinking, and instead of answering his question directly, he asked another question:

"What were you thinking when you killed Billy?"

What happened between Pyler and Billy was taboo among the James family, but not among others.

On the way back, the brother who smoked Chen Jianqiu's cigar told Chen Jianqiu all these things like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.

If it were anyone else, he might have jumped up on the spot, grabbed Chen Jianqiu by the collar, and told him to "answer whatever you ask."

Or say something else to divert this question.

Pilot didn't, he seemed to want to talk to the wanted criminal in front of him.

He took a breath and narrated in a very calm tone: "I have known Billy since we were little. We grew up together, and he even taught me how to use a gun."

"You also fell in love with his sister." Chen Jianqiu added.

"No, I love them," Peller said.

Chen Jianqiu didn't understand the message in this sentence for a while, so Pailer continued.

"A few years ago, we both received notices to enlist in the cavalry regiment. I joined, but he gave up. At first, we kept in touch through letters, but later, only Emily wrote to me."

"Later, I was appointed as the Sheriff of Lincoln County, but when I came back, the first task I received was to hunt down Billy."

"During my absence, Billy became a gunman in order to protect his father's farm. He was deceived and intervened in the Lincoln County War, killing many people, including the former Sheriff."

"I found him in a hotel and he smiled at me and I hit him in the heart."

Chen Jianqiu listened to the sergeant quietly. He was a little curious as to why Paile said this to him.

"No one can be outside the order. No matter how many reasons he has, he cannot be lawless and act recklessly."

"I'll tell you now what I was thinking when I killed Billy." Peller stood up slowly: "Killing someone is killing someone. Criminals are criminals."

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

In the American West in 1881, violence and corruption were the eternal themes. If order and fairness really existed, then people like Fred would not be at large, and he would not be on the bounty list.

He tilted his head and looked at the police chief, suddenly feeling that this man was very pitiful:

"Mr. Sheriff, are you making a presumption of guilt now?"

Paylor stood up and placed the reward order that Lynch just handed him on the table:

"Mr. Chen Jianqiu, what you do outside Lincoln County has nothing to do with me, but I will find out whether you have anything to do with the private fight on the farm. Before that, you will still be protected."

He stared at Chen Jianqiu with a compelling look: "Don't always think that you are on the side of justice."

Chen Jianqiu did not look at the reward order on the table. He also stared at the police chief, their eyes intertwined:

"Mr. Sheriff, I have never considered myself on the side of justice, and justice is not defined by you people."

"Then you can take care of yourself." The police chief said nothing and walked out the door.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, a gunshot suddenly sounded outside.

Pyler ducked backwards.

A bullet hit the spot where he was standing.
