Chapter Seventy-One: The Sheriff Who Never Works Overtime

Downey has been Hanif's partner and groom, but for some reason, Hanif's carriage has been sold at a discount.

So, his role now is only a partner.

He had a certain disagreement with Hanif about the tone of the note he left behind.

"Wouldn't it anger them if you wrote it like that?" Downey said.

"You know a fart, I understand these people, only by provoking them will they show their flaws! A true hunter must kill his opponent with one blow when he shows his flaws! "Hanif didn't have a hat, but his hair was clumped, harder than a hat. There was a pride in his words.

"Hmm, hmm~~~" Holmes, who was hooded behind Donnyma, struggled desperately.

"You gagged him?" Hanif looked at Donnie quizzically.

"That's right." Downey pointed a rifle butt at Holmes' sack-clad head, and the geologist stopped squeaking for a moment, "Or he's not honest." ”

"You're special! We are bounty hunters! Not kidnappers! There is no bounty for this man! Hanif dismounted, and plucked the burlap bag from Holmes's head.

The poor geologist had fainted and had a bruise on his head.

"Forget it, forget it." Hanif scratched his head and got back on his horse.

"Didn't you finally listen to me and come to the market to arrest people?" Downey muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

"Huh? I mean, why should we go to Pitkin? Isn't it good to be closer? Donnie returned to his normal voice and asked his own questions.

"I thought about it for a while, you kid is right, it seems that you have grown up with me for so long, even if the two of us have hostages in hand, we are not completely sure to deal with the four people opposite."

Hanif turned his head and cast Donnie with an approving look at him as he held his head high.

"So, I decided to go to Pitkin County and get the help of the local police officers, and the bounty was half of them."

Downey always felt that there was something wrong with his boss's brain circuit, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Since the boss was released from the police department in Denver, his brain has become more and more abnormal day by day.

Downey sighed. Silently followed Hanif in the direction of Pitkin.

……

On the way to Pitkin in the market town, four horses galloped, their hooves roaring, and dust flying behind them.

Above them soared a golden eagle in the air, observing the movements in and around their direction.

"We'd better intercept them before they get to Pitkin." Chen Jianqiu drove the black radish, although the horse was a little wave in normal times, but it never dropped its chain at the critical moment, and it was leading the way at this time, and there was no need for the owner to explain anything.

"Is it because of the uncertainty there?" Asuka asked.

Chen Jianqiu nodded: "There is another reason, I can guess the purpose and next move of the others, but I am not sure about the brain circuits of these two people." ”

Just as the team of four was rushing forward at full speed. A muffled sound suddenly came from behind Chen Jianqiu.

Someone fell off the horse.

Chen Jianqiu hurriedly reined in the reins, but several horses still rushed out of the distance, and when they turned the horse's head, they found Adam's old horse stopped in place, bowed his head and gently arched Adam lying on the ground with his mouth.

They hurried over.

At this time, Adam was lying flat, his eyes were closed, his hands were covering his heart, and his face was very unsightly.

"He's not going to drink too much, is he?" Sean hesitated.

Chen Jianqiu shook his head, Adam didn't touch a drop of wine today, and he was rarely sober in the morning. He stepped forward and examined Adam's body.

There was no big external injury, only the palm and elbow were scratched a little skin, it seems that the old horse has a premonition of the master's condition and slowed down, otherwise it is a high probability event to fall from the galloping horse so unconsciously, and a fracture is a high probability event.

Chen Jianqiu and several others worked together to lift Adam to the side of the road and helped him sit up against a rock.

After a while, Adam opened his eyes and looked at the people around him with puzzled eyes: "What are you doing around me?" ”

"You fell off your horse."

"Oh, my heart just hurts a little, so let's keep walking."

"Are you sure?" Chen Jianqiu had some questions.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it." Adam remounted his old horse and said lightly, "As I told you before, dying." ”

Chen Jianqiu didn't know what to say for a while.

The four of them set out on their way to Pitkin again.

……

Hanif and Donnie were dumbfounded as they stood at the door of Pitckin's police station.

The police office was smaller than they had imagined.

A dilapidated one-story wooden house, except for the freshly painted paint on the doors, windows and front walls, the side and back walls have peeled off to pieces, and the inside can be seen decaying into dark wooden planks.

The sign at the door is new, but the letters on it seem to be misspelled

Pitkin is such a big place, and it's still a newly established county, and the security office here is so rudimentary?

It was already evening, and a few old farmers living in the area were leaning on the wooden railing at the door, smoking cigarette butts, watching the passers-by.

A man walked out of the police station.

He was quite tall, and the sheriff's uniform could not hide the strong muscles of his body, and even though he was close to his fifties, he looked very strong.

There are some gray hairs sandwiched between his blonde hair, but it doesn't look very noticeable because of the sun and hair color.

"Hey, hello Danny, what's going to eat when you get back in the evening?"

An old farmer smoking a pipe greeted him.

The sheriff named Danny smiled back and said hello, like neighbors who had known each other for a long time,

He tugged on the door of the police station.

The door slammed shut, and the whole room seemed to be falling with ashes. The sheriff took another key from his waist and came out to lock the door.

Hanif hastened to straighten the collar of Holmes beside him, and before entering the county, he had torn off the sack for the geologist and loosened the tie.

He patted Holmes on the shoulder and gave him an index finger: "Wait, don't say anything, understand?" ”

Holmes has been playing the role of hostage again and again during this time, and is very experienced, and nodded,

He kept his mouth shut, because he knew that as a hostage, he could talk too much, and he would be beaten if he was light, and his life would be at risk if he was heavy.

Hanif was satisfied, and he and Donnie carried Holmes to the sheriff's office.

"Mr. Sheriff!" Hanif shouted.

Danny was locking the door when he heard someone calling him, and turned his head suspiciously, seeing the three of them.

"Mr. Sheriff, I have something important to tell you." Hanif walked over to Danny's side, "I have information about an important bounty maker. ”

Danny glanced them up and down, uninterested, and with a "click" on his hand, he locked the door.

He gave Hanif a very official answer:

"I'm off work, let's talk about something tomorrow."
