Lin Yao had long known that the matter of gold was not so easy to end.

Sure enough, Sokoto didn't give up, and it took a month to finally catch old Billy.

Billy Sr. is an important part of the gold bar theft, and he has the biggest suspicion, and anyone with a discerning eye can know that there is something wrong with him.

With him in front to attract firepower, the others seem less important.

Similarly, once he is found out, Lin Yao may be exposed, and there are groups of people that night, and there are not many people who have the opportunity to fight the golden idea.

And he was the last to come back, second only to Billy Sr.

Panic?

No panic at all.

Lin Yao never thought that he would not arouse suspicion, but he didn't expect that Old Billy would be caught so quickly.

Now is not the era of information distribution, there are no public cameras, no big data, and no real-name system.

If a person wants to hide, it is difficult for others to find him, and if it were not for this, Hanon would not be at large so far.

Sokoto people are really capable, it's hard to imagine how this group of people with a few handmade portraits found the city along the railroad and found Old Billy from the city, no less difficult than looking for a lonely person, right?

"If you doubt it, you can doubt it, what can you do with me if you don't have evidence!"

"You are professional, I am not a fool in vain, if it is put into the 21st century, with the help of modern means, I dare not pack tickets."

"In the 19th century, there weren't many people who could catch me."

Lin Yao was not very worried in his heart, he had already dealt with the crime scene, and Pete's body had also been disposed of.

If you can't find Pete, you can't be sure that he's dead.

Without evidence of death, it is impossible to conclude that the gold bar was taken by someone else, and the suspicion on him is not established.

Suspicion and inference cannot be convicted.

At most, it is impossible to get the bars out in a short period of time, or to find an explanation for the origin of the gold bars, so that it is impossible to link it to the theft of Morgan Bank.

Fireworks in March, spring rain as scheduled.

It was the first rain in Texas, and it was not rainy, but it represented the change of seasons.

Lin Yao had already arranged the affairs of the police station, and after leaving office, the town would invite an experienced sheriff from elsewhere to take office.

It's just that this spring rain, which lasted for several days, created obstacles for the newly appointed sheriff.

His appointment time will be a few days later than the agreed time, and Lin Yao will have to stay in the town for a few more days.

A month has passed, and Hannon's revenge has not yet been seen.

Some people claim that in fact, the real Hanon died a long time ago, in a siege two years ago.

Hanon's men, fearing that they would be retaliated against, continued to do evil under the banner of Hanon.

These news were spread by everyone, and some even claimed to have attended Hanon's funeral.

Lin Yao was skeptical of this, and still prepared for the worst.

No one in the entire town believed that Hanon might come for revenge except him.

Even the guards didn't believe it, and they stood lazily in the doorway, leaning against the railing, watching the drizzle outside, and talking most about the prostitutes in town.

For tax reasons, the number of guards at the police station was adjusted and reduced to 20.

Similarly, the Mounted Police stationed at the train station were also transferred, and the Grand Masters of the Council thought that the chances of an attack on Stone Town were slim, and that it would be a waste to put five elite Mounted Police officers at the train station to guard the cargo holds.

"In the past two days, the town has been a lot more lively!"

As soon as Lin Yao arrived at the security station today, he heard the conversation between the two guards.

One person said: "Yesterday in the casino, I saw a few new faces, they made bold moves, they spent money like water, and I don't know where they came from. ”

Another person said: "I also found out that there are some outsiders in the town these days, but they rarely go to the streets, and they don't make trouble, so their sense of presence is not high." ”

After listening for a while, Lin Yao walked up with a frown and asked, "When did you find out about this?" ”

"Just these days!"

"Within three days, they all came within three days."

Lin Yao chuckled in his heart, and his face was not very good: "Why don't you report it?" ”

"Head, this is not unusual, there are more outsiders visiting the town every day, but there are more of them these days."

"Yes, sheriff, they didn't make trouble, I wish there were as many people as possible."

Facing his subordinates' answers, Lin Yao felt extraordinary.

As soon as they cut down on the guards, there were a lot of tourists in the town, were they really tourists?

"How many of them are there, and who am I how many people are doubtful?"

"A dozen, some have been staying for a few days."

"There should be more than twenty of them, and the bartender at the bar told me that he sold 30 more bottles of rum last night than usual."

Listening to the sentences, Lin Yao's suspicions became heavier and heavier, and he said in a deep voice: "Inform our people to gather, everyone cancels their vacation, and maintains the combat state." ”

"Head, do you think they're going to be bad for us?" One of them spread his hands and smiled: "Impossible, they didn't come together, and most of them didn't bring weapons, otherwise we would have reported to you a long time ago." ”

"Does not having a weapon mean it's safe?"

"They may be the vanguard, used to find out our details, and the big army is still behind."

"They may be Hanon's people, not attacking us but finding out in the town, I'm afraid not only to retaliate against us, but also to fight the town's idea."

Lin Yao thought that Hanon's people might have arrived, and he felt a big head when he was waiting for the opportunity to meet with the outside world, and waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, inform everyone to come back, and say that I want to hold a meeting at the security station." ”

"Good, good sheriff!"

The two didn't dare to delay, and left in a hurry.

After they left, Lin Yao stood in front of the glass window of the security guard, looked at the stone town under the light rain, and thought to himself, "Hope is just a false alarm!" ”

According to the two guards, there were one or twenty people who were exposed, and it is conceivable that there must have been many more who did not appear.

Forty or fifty bandits stormed the town, and such a bad incident had not happened in a long time.

If it was really like what he thought, it was Hanon's people who mixed in.

I'm afraid that the revenge against them is only one of them, and the main purpose is to sack the town.

Soon, under Lin Yao's call, twenty guards returned one after another.

Some of them were night guards, and some were on vacation, and they didn't understand Lin Yao's sudden summoning order.

In particular, Lin Yao said that when Hanon's attack may come, many people dismissed it.

It's been a month, and every day I say that Hanon is coming, and I haven't even seen a shadow.

Who knows if Hanon is dead or alive, maybe he has died a long time ago, the so-called revenge is just to scare himself, he is not as powerful as people say.

Jingle, jingle, jingle...

As he spoke, with the sound of horse bells, a caravan in black came to the town.

There were more than a dozen of them, riding tall horses, with a cloak over their heads to keep out the rain, and three box-drawn carriages behind them, which looked like traveling merchants from other places.

"Let's take a look outside."

At Lin Yao's signal, a guard walked out.

"Who are you, if you're carrying weapons, the town needs to know what you're here for!"

The guard stood in the light rain and said to the man at the head.

The black-clad leader lifted his cloak, and his answer was a rifle: "Bang!!" ”

Shots rang out, and the guards flew upside down.
