Chapter Eighty-Eight: Pretending to be a Ghost
According to the usual practice, after Chen Jianqiu finished explaining to Browning, he was going to stay in a tavern and inn in the center of the town.
They left their guns in the gun shop, and it took Browning a few days to maintain and upgrade them.
Browning picked out a few temporary revolvers, which were used as replacements on the gun carriage.
Chen Jianqiu walked into the door of the tavern with a few people.
I don't know if it was because it wasn't there or something else, but the tavern was deserted, except for the bartender who was wiping the glass from the bar with his head down.
When he saw Chen Jianqiu, he smiled.
The gold lord is back.
Of course he knew the identity of this person, and the investigators from Denver had already shown him the bounty order when they came, but what about it, who in the tavern in the West didn't have a case record?
I haven't seen him for a few days, but this big guy's team has grown again, huh? How the archaeologist is also in it.
Without Chen Jianqiu's orders, the bartender had already led a group of people upstairs.
By the time Chen Jianqiu appeared downstairs with Asuka and Danny, the bartender had already prepared dinner for them.
"We're going to go out for a while, you can just call the people upstairs to come down for dinner." Chen Jianqiu held a bag containing gold bars and some small gold and silver items scavenged from the ruins of Phelps Manor.
He was going to Sigmund, the old Jewish sheriff, to get some money.
Asuka is now his most intimate subordinate, and he basically carries everything with him; Danny was bored, and he couldn't stand Teresa's nagging, so he wanted to follow Chen Jianqiu out for a walk.
The bartender was a little stunned, and then whispered to Chen Jianqiu: "Sir, I know that you have great powers, but there have been ghosts near the town recently, so you should be careful when you go out at night." ”
"You told us last time there were monsters in the forest." Asuka looked disdainful.
"Didn't I hear the rumors, but this time ......," the bartender was about to explain.
Chen Jianqiu took out a twenty-five cent coin from his pocket and flicked it at the bartender with a "ding" of his thumb.
The coin swirled around the bar, and the bartender grabbed it and grinned and put it in his pocket. No more nonsense
"Don't forget to call them dinner." Chen Jianqiu put his hand in his pocket and walked out of the door of the tavern.
When the three of them arrived at the gate of the Sigmund police station, it was already dark, and the police office was still small and broken, and there was no one around.
The difference was that the windows of the police station were boarded up and the doors were closed.
"Off work?" Asuka frowned.
Chen Jianqiu walked to the door and knocked on the door.
"Sheriff Cohen? Are you there? Daddy Cohen? ”
No one answered.
"Sigmund? Sigmund! Chen Jianqiu pushed the door, the door did not move, he exerted force in his hand, and the door opened a crack inside.
The door was held against something from the inside, and through the crack in the door, there was an iron chain between the handle and the door frame, which was wrapped several times.
Closed doors?
"Dad, if you don't come out again, we'll come in by ourselves!" Chen Jianqiu took a few steps back, making a gesture to kick the door.
There was a rustling sound from inside the door, and Chen Jianqiu bent down and saw an eye through the crack in the wooden board that sealed the window, looking out.
Chen Jianqiu pulled out his revolver.
"Oh, don't, don't. I'll open the door. Sigmund's voice came from within.
Then, someone behind the door was moving the table, and an iron chain fell to the ground with a "clatter".
The door opened a crack inside, and Sigmund sneakily leaned out, gun in hand, and beckoned at them.
Chen Jianqiu and Asuka went in sideways, Danny's body was a little thicker, and he couldn't squeeze in through the crack in the door, so he simply strained his shoulder.
"Bang dang." The whole door fell.
"Oh my God!" Sigmund looked at the broken door lying on the ground and cried bitterly, "It's going to be over later!" ”
Danny looked a little embarrassed, and he lifted the door and gestured twice, trying to reinstall it for Sigmund.
"What are you doing? Why don't you even turn on the lights. Chen Jianqiu frowned and observed the first floor of the security station, as if there was nothing abnormal.
"Hurry, hurry, put the door up, they're coming!" Like crazy, Sigmund snatched the door panel from Danny's hand.
"You speak clearly, what's the mess?" Danny dodged sideways with the door panel, and Sigmund fell to the ground, "Who's coming?" ”
"The ghosts! They're coming for me! Sigmund rolled over and sat on the ground, saying in despair.
"Eh, you're the sheriff of this town!" Asuka was puzzled.
Chen Jianqiu looked at his father sitting on the ground, and also felt that this person was crazy.
Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves and footsteps outside the door, like the sound of a march, but it was a little more chaotic than a well-trained army.
"It's over, it's over, they're coming! Let's hide! Sigmund stood up and was about to drill into the basement.
Chen Jianqiu went up and gave him a mouthful, beating him into a daze: "Find a place to squat, don't squeak." ”
He motioned for Danny and Asuka to hold each other's horns against the doorway, and walked to the window, peering through the gap in the plank.
On the street in front of the police station, there are several things that look like "people" coming in the direction of the police station.
They were all holding torches, wearing white robes, and white pointed hoods on their heads, and it was only after they got a little closer that Chen Jianqiu could see clearly, the front of the hood had two holes, and a pair of eyes were exposed from the holes.
One of them rode a horse, and the others followed at a trot. Their demeanor was stiff, and their mouths were muttering something. From afar, it sounds quite high-minded, full of mystery.
"This thing is what you call a 'ghost'? Can a sheet over your head bluff you like this? Chen Jianqiu almost lost his breath, he motioned to Asuka and Danny to put down the guns in their hands, and walked out the door by himself.
He clasped his hands to his chest and waited for the men to come to the door of the police station.
Several people lined up at the door of the security station with torches, and the one led by them reined in their horses and stared at Chen Jianqiu.
Chen Jianqiu also stared at them, and the people on both sides stared at them with such big eyes.
"Head, there is a Chinese on the other side, an Indian, they don't seem to be afraid of us." A little minion with a torch leaned over to the man on horseback and whispered.
The leader of the horse wanted to shut up and pretend to be cold, but the reaction of the other side made him a little overwhelmed.
He is not blind, of course he knows that the other side does not bird him.
"Do you despicable heathens defend that shameful Jew?" His voice came from under the white cloth, and the urn sounded loudly.
Chen Jianqiu was about to be tightened by his embarrassing lines, and he didn't want to speak.
It didn't matter to him whether this Jew was alive or dead, he just wanted to exchange some money with him now.
The leader didn't speak when he saw Chen Jianqiu, but he caught a glimpse of Chen Jianqiu, Asuka and the gun on Danny's waist.
He waved his hand: "You quickly put down the weapons in your hands, this is the thunder that God has given us, and you do not deserve it." ”
As the leader spoke, his hand reached to his waist, and the men with torches were doing the same thing.
But their guns were under their robes, and they needed to lift their robes to pull them out.
"Bang."
The leader had a bloody hole in his head and fell off his horse.
"Pretending to be a ghost."
Chen Jianqiu snorted disdainfully and blew out the muzzle of the gun.
