The leader was dead, and the rest of the group panicked, and Asuka shot a man in the hand of a man holding a torch.

The torch fell to the ground, and the man jumped around with his hands covered, but then he danced more merrily, for the torch set his robe on fire.

Then he became a "fire man" until he lay on the ground and no longer moved.

Danny didn't even bother to use a gun, so he went up and hammered one over with one punch.

The unlucky guy who was hammered had his neck about to break, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the entire white mask was dyed red.

Chen Jianqiu and Asuka also easily overturned the remaining few people, and Asuka took a few iron shackles and a few ropes from the house of the security station and tied them up.

Chen Jianqiu ripped off the mask of one of them, revealing a young face with horror written on it.

"I know you!" Stunned, Sigmund pointed at the young man, "You're the grocery store owner's son!" ”

Chen Jianqiu tore off the masks on the heads of several people, and found that except for the one who rode the horse, the others were all from the town, and as for the one that was burnt, it could only be seen who was missing from the town the next day.

Chen Jianqiu told Asuka and Danny to throw the gang into the cramped cell of the police station.

"The Ku Klux Klan, pretending to be a ghost every day to scare blacks, a bunch of extreme racists, hating blacks, Chinese, Jews and almost all people of color. At first, it was organized by a group of remnants of the Southern Army, and they dragged me in, and I thought that these people were sick in the brain. Danny kicked the white hood on the ground.

"But they usually operate in several southern states, and it seems that they were banned by presidential decree ten years ago, how can they be here?"

"It's not surprising that there were cannibals around here before." Chen Jianqiu stood up.

He walked over to Sigmund, who was still a little weak and sat on the ground.

"I don't want to worry about your town's affairs, so we can talk about business now, right?"

He took out the bag and gave Sigmund a look, "Shall we exchange it at the previous price?" I don't count the cost of the gold and silver utensils. ”

Sigmund shrank to the ground and shook his head, "I don't have any cash in my hand, and the white-robed men snatched it from me. ”

Chen Jianqiu was angry and funny, he looked at the Jew sitting on the ground:

"You're a sheriff in a town who was robbed with a gun by a rabble in sheets? And then tell people that they are ghosts? ”

Sigmund's mouth opened, but he stopped talking.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the expression of the Jew, and did not force him again, he thought for a while, and pointed to a few people in the cell: "You watch them here first, and I will go to the mayor of Xia."

He knocked on the door of the Browning gun shop, and it was Jerry who was crouching in the door with a gun in his hand.

Browning ran out in one-piece pajamas, and when Chen Jianqiu knocked on the door, he had already climbed into bed.

"Help me find the mayor, I'm in a hurry." Chen Jianqiu lit a cigarette outside the door, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Then you wait for me for a while." Browning didn't drag his feet either, "I'll change my clothes." ”

A few minutes later, Browning appeared at the door dressed in a formal suit, with a gun in his hand, and walked towards the east of the town with Chen Jianqiu.

Along the way, Chen Jianqiu observed the surrounding houses, and at first he thought that the people who lived here had turned off the lights early and hid at home because of the rumors of ghosts.

But now, he realized that there was no one in many rooms.

"How many blacks, Chinese, or Jews are in the town?" Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly.

Browning shook his head: "You know, not long ago, I was here for the first time, just like you, but as far as I know, there are no Chinese, not many blacks, there are quite a few Jews, but they live on the west side of town, just like Sigmund. ”

As they chatted, they came to an inconspicuous house in the east of the city.

"This is the mayor's house." Browning knocked on the door.

After a while, an old lady ran out and opened the door, and Browning explained his purpose.

"The mayor isn't here, maybe he's going out with someone to make a round, isn't it haunted lately?"

Browning had no choice but to interrupt, then turned around and shrugged his shoulders at Chen Jianqiu.

"Was Montrose haunted before?" Chen Jianqiu asked again.

Browning thought for a moment, and replied truthfully: "No, that is, about a week before you came." ”

"A week ......" Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment, it seemed that this was the day they set off from Pitkin.

It's weird.

The next morning, on the first floor of the tavern, an old gentleman dressed in formal attire, with a cane, and a gray top hat, entered. The bartender was taken aback when he saw the man, and he hurried out:

"Oh, honorable mayor, I wonder what you are doing today?"

The kind-faced mayor waved his cane: "Don't worry, I'll wait for someone." ”

Not long after, Chen Jianqiu walked down from the second floor, and happened to see the old man holding a cane on the first floor.

He didn't know the man, but the man seemed to know him.

"Mr. Chen, hello, I am the mayor of this town, may I ask if you have anything to do with me last night?" The old man's smile makes people feel very warm, and even a little kind.

"You know me?" Chen Jianqiu was a little strange, it was Browning who knocked on the door yesterday, and he just followed behind.

"Yes, we all know you, haha." Mayor Mare laughed heartily as he pointed to the bartender, "He knows you too, but we don't care, because you and your friends don't show any ill will toward us. ”

Chen Jianqiu pondered for a while before replying: "I happened to be looking for you too, sir, we caught the 'ghost' last night." ”

He said, observing the expression on Mayor Mare's face.

Mayor Mare looked surprised, and he paused his cane: "Really? How did you get caught, with silver bullets? Or are they simply human? ”

"You're right, Mr. Mayor, please come with me."

Chen Jianqiu took the mayor to the security office of Sigmund, who had not slept all night and was sitting at the door with a gun in his arms.

The door to the police station was demolished by Danny yesterday, and he looked at the door panel on his ground in a daze.

"Hey! It's time to wake up! A boot stomped on the door, and the door creaked.

Sigmund suddenly woke up from his dementia, and he looked up from his boots to find Chen Jianqiu looking at him, and the mayor of the town, standing beside Chen Jianqiu, was also looking at him with a cane.

As soon as the few people in the cage heard a movement at the door, they rushed to the fence of the cage.

"Sir, we were wrong! ，

"Sir! We don't dare anymore! ”

The mayor walked in and looked at them with a frown, these people he knew, they were all young people from the town,

He looked again at the cell next to them, where the corpse of a stranger and a piece of charcoal in the shape of a man were dropped.

"This brother, uh, I'm sorry, it was purely in self-defense, and this one accidentally lit his clothes with a torch." Chen Jianqiu pointed to the two corpses and looked at Sigmund.

The Jew hurriedly nodded: "Well, yes, I testify to this." ”

Chen Jianqiu picked up the white hood on the table and handed it to the mayor: "The 3 Klux Klan, for some reason, suddenly appeared, and unfortunately we bumped into it, so let me tell you." ”

The mayor's brow tightened, and he told Sigmund to keep an eye on the young men, and their parents would go and say hello themselves.

In short, this matter, from now on, do not let anyone know. ”

Chen Jianqiu saw that the mayor of the town had made a decision and was about to turn around and leave.

But the mayor stopped him from behind:

"Mr. Chen, can we talk?"

Two more
