America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 217 Stolen? Isn’t that normal?

"boss!"

A roar came from the corridor of the room, breaking the early morning silence of the hotel.

Manager Pete ran out of the room angrily and walked quickly towards the hall.

At this time, he had completely abandoned the gentleman image he had tried to maintain before. With his messy clothes and hair, he was no different from a western wanderer.

However, there was no boss at the front desk, only a waiter who was dozing off on the bar.

"Crack!"

Manager Pete slapped the bar counter: "Boss! We were robbed last night."

The guy slowly raised his head and looked at Peter sleepily: "Oh, I got it."

Then he buried his head in his arms again and continued to sleep.

"Hey, man, I lost my money in your hotel and I just said 'I got it' and that's it?" Pete grabbed his shoulder and tried to shake him awake.

However, at this time, the boss's head suddenly stuck out from the railing on the second floor.

With a scowl on his face, he yelled angrily at the waiter: "Mike! Have you seen that bitch Lisa?"

The waiter raised his head again and shook his head at the boss.

The boss retracted his head. Half a minute later, he rushed down the stairs with his coat on and a gun in hand.

"Damn slut!" The boss loaded the gun with bullets and hurriedly walked to the door. When he passed the bar, he didn't even look at the people here.

"The boss's woman was stolen again." The clerk shrugged, as if he was used to it, "It's not surprising that we lose everything, even the boss's wife."

Pete was dumbfounded, and the knowledge of this elite manager of Standard Oil Company was once again refreshed.

He planned to call the police.

He now regrets not finding a separate place to put the large pile of change he found.

Now, he and his experts have no breakfast.

Just when he was about to ask the clerk where the town's security office was, Chen Jianqiu and several others came out of the aisle in the guest room area.

Chen Jianqiu looked at Manager Pete, who was grabbing the boy's clothes, and said happily: "Hey, are you doing as the Romans do?"

Pete suppressed his anger. He didn't want to be looked down upon by the person in front of him: "We lost our money and want to call the police."

"Oh, call the police. I'm familiar with the police station. I'll take you there." Chen Jianqiu said enthusiastically.

Peter thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

After experiencing these things, he gained a new perspective.

In this unfamiliar place, there are pitfalls everywhere.

Although this young man named Chen is not a good person, at least he will not rob him because of his relationship with Mr. Rockefeller.

The only person he can count on now is this person.

The two people walked one behind the other towards the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office was still the same as before, but at the door of the Sheriff's Office, Chen Jianqiu did not see Pile, who had been sitting there all year round.

Before the last incident, Pile was still a strong force, but after that incident, his law enforcement officers fled and were wounded, and in the end there were not many people left alive.

Therefore, the place now seems very empty, and the security situation is no different from that of other western towns.

Chen Jianqiu gently pushed open the wooden door of the police station and found that Miles was the only one sitting inside.

In the last incident, this brother was the only police officer who followed Pilot to the end, and was finally rescued by Chen Jianqiu.

Now he has been promoted to deputy chief of police of this town.

He was concentrating on cleaning his gun.

Since he was educated by Chen Jianqiu last time, he will take apart his firearms for maintenance whenever he has time.

"Where's Paile?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

Miles suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear. He looked up and saw his savior.

He quickly stood up from the chair, walked up to Chen Jianqiu, and gave him a big hug.

"Pler went to investigate some things." Miles said, "Recently, a man named Leonard appeared in Lincoln County and regained Fred's territory. Sendler went to investigate his

Details."

"I never imagined that little Lincoln County could be so 'crouching tiger, hidden dragon.'" Chen Jianqiu touched his chin.

Miles looked at Chen Jianqiu and then at Peter behind him: "What do you want to do here this time?"

"If nothing happens, can't I come and see you?" Chen Jianqiu smiled and sat on the bench at the door.

He pointed at Peter: "I'm fine, he's fine."

"My money was stolen." Pete said eagerly.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help." Miles pointed to the empty police station and said helplessly, "After the last incident, Pile has never added anyone, so there are only me and me in this police station.

He got it."

"But I can give you a suggestion. If you can provide enough clues to prove who did it, you can use part of the lost money as a reward, and I can help you post a reward order." Miles added.

Peter was silent.

Don't say that he doesn't know who did it. Even if he knows, based on his observations over the past two days, the thief may be caught, but the money will definitely not be recovered.

Not only that, the person who uncovered the bounty may also get the benefit of both sides. Not only does he keep the stolen money, but he may also come back and ask for another bounty from him.

"Mr. Chen, otherwise, you'd better lend me another thirty dollars." Peter hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.

"No problem!" Chen Jianqiu seemed extremely generous.

Ten minutes later, Peter and Chen Jianqiu walked out of the door of the police station.

Chen Jianqiu had another IOU in his hand. However, due to the increase in the amount, the interest rate on the loan increased by another two percentage points.

Peter took the money and went to the Lincolnshire Livestock Market.

He wanted to buy some horses or a simple carriage to carry the few of them and the necessary supplies.

Then I visited the clothing store and grocery store and bought all the remaining things.

He even considered getting himself a gun if funds allowed.

Chen Jianqiu returned to the hotel.

Li Sifu and Abiot went to buy a lot of grain and vegetables and came back. Not only did they fill the remaining barrels, but they also built a flatbed truck.

Sean plays a guest role as a groom, and his horse plays a temporary guest role as a packhorse.

Until Roswell solves its irrigation problem and reclaims farmland, the food there still has to be transported from outside.

They planned to leave after lunch.

Three hours after sunrise, Chen Jianqiu was standing at the door of the hotel, cleaning Black Radish's mane with a horse brush.

He raised his head and found a flatbed truck appearing at the other end of the street. The fat manager Pete was sitting in front of the flatbed truck and was driving the flatbed truck with his poor skills.

Chen Jianqiu always felt that there was something wrong with that flatbed truck.

When the carriage arrived in front of him, he finally understood what was wrong.

The people pulling the flatbed cart were not horses or mules, but two donkeys that were shaking their heads. At the same time, two donkeys were following behind the flatbed cart.

Theoretically speaking, if it's just for hauling goods, donkeys are pretty good. They eat better than horses and have good stamina. It's true that Pete was a businessman and was very calculating.

But soon, he realized that he had overestimated him.

These donkeys were sold as ponies to Peter, who knew nothing about livestock, and the price was much higher than that of donkeys.

Chen Jianqiu did not tell this injustice the truth. In addition, he also did not tell him that his flatbed truck did not contain too much water.
