America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 326 The Origin of the Red Light District

Wyatt, Holiday, Sean, and Hanif got into the car in Las Vegas.

However, they did not all swarm to the first-class compartment to see Chen Jianqiu. First, they were afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion from the Pinkerton detectives. Secondly, the first-class seats did not allow idlers to enter.

Only Wyatt and Chen Jianqiu, who came out of the first-class seat, met each other across a carriage, and the two returned to their respective seats tacitly.

The train continues to move.

Only a few people on horseback looked at it from a distance along the way.

Regardless of whether these people were robbers or not, when they saw the policemen carrying long guns standing at the junction of each carriage, they stopped their desires and were out of shooting range.

This is also a change that Chen Jianqiu brought to the company's trains after becoming chairman of the board of directors of the Santa Fe Railroad Company.

He proposed at the meeting:

Focus on transportation quality, improve service awareness, and focus on safe production.

Everyone, including the executive committee members, was pondering the meaning of this sentence until after the meeting.

"Just put more policemen on the trains and buy more guns! You fools!" Sean, who was listening in, finally woke them up.

They were looking for the hotel where they would stay tonight, and they were also looking for traces of the detectives.

"Ah, Mr. Chen, is this your first time in Dodge? Do you want to have some fun with us?" Captain Eaton's head appeared at the door of the car again.

Before the Pacific Railway ran through the east and west coasts of the United States, this was the terminal of the Eastern Railway. Now, it is an important transportation hub.

He was wearing jingling boots, holding his pockets with both hands, tilting his head and looking at the dead cowboy on the ground.

Finally, they found the hotel where Pinkerton's detectives were staying near a chicken farm called "Pretty in Pink."

Chen Jianqiu looked in the direction Wyatt pointed and found that there was indeed a qualitative difference in the flow of people on both sides of the railway.

"Hehe, that's good." Wyatt mentioned the allusion to the red light district, "Every time the car stops, the employees on the car go to the brothels in the city to find lovers and reminisce about old times."

"The people in Pinkerton are indeed suspicious of me." Chen Jianqiu looked at the detectives' backs and said meaningfully, "These idiots have been trying to trick me."

From his room on the second floor, he could clearly see the entrance and exit of the hotel and the chicken yard.

Finally, the train stopped in Dodge City.

Red light? Red light district?

Chen Jianqiu held Camilla's hand and nodded at Eaton with a smile.

If one is not enough, do we need to get two or three at the same time?

Chen Jianqiu saw something strange in the eyes of the former Sheriff Dodge: "Oh, I didn't mean that. I just thought that the gang from Pinkerton Detective Agency would definitely stay nearby at night."

Cowboys need to drive the cattle of their own ranchers and travel long distances to get here.

"Is it a place where women who have fallen behind strive to change their lives through labor?" Chen Jianqiu put forward his own opinion.

Chen Jianqiu turned his head, glanced at White, and found that he was the only one standing here, so he asked:

A smile appeared on Wyatt's lips.

"Remember, if there is any movement, report it to me immediately."

The division of railway lines has brought peace to people in residential areas, but it has also pushed the security of the commercial area on the other side into the abyss.

A gunshot rang out in the street.

After meeting up with Sean and others, they took away their horses.

"Bull! Don't go too far!" The police officer waved to the person stepping on the corpse.

On the train, he gave out handouts to those who had itchy crotches.

The policeman spray-shot the cowboy in the back again, then stepped on his back:

"Let's each find a place to live. I will notify you if there is any action." Detectives from White and Pinkerton appeared behind Chen Jianqiu.

He saw, on the other side of the platform, a large group of cattle, driven by cowboys, getting into the train carriage.

"Chen, do you know where that place is?" Wyatt asked.

"Fuck, you owe me money, damn it."

The old conductor got off the train happily and walked towards the side of the railway with his conductors.

"The railroad divided the entire Dodge City into two parts. With the railroad as the boundary, one side is the residential area where residents are housed, and the other side is the saloon, tavern, and chicken yard."

Chen Jianqiu took a closer look and found that there was a red light hanging at the entrance of every store.

A security guard wearing a police badge and holding a shotgun rushed out from the corner of the street and knocked down a cowboy with one shot.

Chen Jianqiu assigned a task.

Chen Jianqiu now somewhat understands why Wyatt did what he did in Tombstone.

Not too close, not too far, great location.

"Okay." Chen Jianqiu just agreed, and then watched the detectives leave.

"They went to get the horses."

After Chen Jianqiu finished eating, he sat at the window and began to wait for the detectives' "team building".

What surprised Chen Jianqiu was that the block they were walking towards was as red as fire.

The once extremely dangerous frontier train has begun the challenge of a safety-accident-free section.

"So, it is indeed a red light district." Chen Jianqiu looked at Wyatt.

However, Chen Jianqiu had no plans to care about these matters for the time being, and he continued to move forward.

This is the last section under the jurisdiction of the Santa Fe Railway Company, and employees of the railway company are getting off the train one after another.

He just brought his style from Dodge City to Tombstone.

"Generally, the more lights, the better the business."

"Where are Sean and the others?"

"Considering that in case of emergency, the railway company can find them in time, these employees always hang a red light unique to railway employees at the door of the chicken yard."

"How's it going, Chen? Did you get any useful information?" Wyatt also got off the train.

"Then what should we do next? Should we continue to follow, or should we go find Jesse James ourselves?" Wyatt asked.

After touching each other, they were divided into the original two groups again, one behind the other, pretending not to know each other, and rode out of the train station.

"Bang!"

"So later, as time went by, the old madam hung up the red light in front of her house early, no matter whether there were railway employees coming or not."

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla rode horses side by side, shuttling between the tavern and the chicken yard.

"I remember you were the acting sheriff of Dodge City before, right?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly remembered.

"Follow!" Chen Jianqiu touched his chin, "I'm quite interested in the detective named White."

There are still people on the train going down.

These men are re-wearing their revolvers.

Dodge City is worthy of the Sin City that Wyatt calls it.

Here, there is no distinction between police and robbers.

Cattle from nearby famous cattle-producing areas, such as Texas, are basically loaded here and then transported to various parts of the east.

The journey was uneventful, and the train soon crossed the state border, entering Colorado from New Mexico, and then from Colorado to Kansas.

The cowboy's face was on the ground, and blood flowed from the wound behind him. Seeing that he was hopeless, he became a real street fighter.

That’s why it’s also known as the “Cowboy City”.

"Okay, let's stay nearby tonight." Chen Jianqiu decided on the address for the night.

They would stay here one night, waiting for the train from the east to arrive, and then board the train back to New Mexico.

Another officer wearing a badge appeared on the opposite corner.

As a result, the Santa Fe Railroad Company purchased a large number of new guns and bullets from the Roswell Gun Factory.

Compared to Tombstone, the gunfire here is no less intense.

He saw Camilla next to Chen Jianqiu, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I forgot, there is a beautiful lady beside you."

"We have to keep a close eye on them." Chen Jianqiu said.

Wyatt glanced at Chen Jianqiu and then at Camilla beside him, thinking that his boss was really uninhibited.

The three of them walked towards the car at the back.

"After finding White and the Pinkerton detectives, Sean, you are responsible for keeping an eye on White, Hanif, you are responsible for the movements of others; Wyatt and Holiday, this is the place you are most familiar with, wait in the room

Come on, we'll have work to do at any time."

The scenery outside the window also changed from desert to mountains, and then to endless high plains.

Chen Jianqiu chose a hotel diagonally opposite.

"Please call my name, my name is Steve!" the man yelled.

He pointed to the railway track ahead and introduced to Chen Jianqiu and Camilla:

"Yes, then on behalf of the 'hospitable' people of Dodge City, I would like to introduce you to this 'Sin City'."

Wyatt nodded.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla walked off the train carrying their boxes.

However, when those people walked out of the hotel door, he did not see White's figure.

The door to Chen Jianqiu's room rang.

Sean squeezed in through the crack of the door:

"Boss, White left through the back door and entered a tavern."
