Chapter 141: Duel (1)
Van Cleef didn't bring anyone with him, and he didn't wear a police uniform, and he came to the door of the hotel alone.
Since it is a private visit, it is not possible to startle the snake.
He was confident enough in his authority in Santa Fe. Although he lives like a dog in front of Scott, outside the senator's office, he is a well-known master of solving crimes! The backbone of the Santa Fe Police Department.
The gang of of the Mexican gang heard the news and began to hide, and the two bounty hunters couldn't do anything to themselves.
As for the would-be murderer, as long as he dares to shoot, he won't be able to escape from this Santa Fe City.
"Boss!"
Van Cleef harnessed his horse and strode into the door of the inn, where he stood in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel with his waist crossed.
"Huh? Sheriff Van Cleef? How did you get here? The boss came out from behind the bar and trotted to the sheriff's side.
Van Cleef didn't speak, he looked around at the guests in the hall on the first floor.
"Thank you so much for the damn fewer Mexican hooligans on the road these two days." The boss didn't know what the sheriff was going to do, and he was a little nervous, so he could only say some flattering words to himself.
"What about the two bounty hunters? It's just that there's a beard upturned. "The sheriff asked the boss after making sure that there was no target on the first floor that he was looking for.
The boss just wanted to answer. A voice came from the direction of the staircase.
"Van Cleef!"
The sheriff looked in the direction of the voice, and Hanif and his henchman Donnie were coming down from the second floor.
Behind them, followed by Chen Jianqiu, Camilla, and Aster.
Well, all the people he was looking for were all at once.
Van Cleef walked over.
His gaze directly skipped the bounty hunter in the front row, and looked directly at Chen Jianqiu:
"Sir, would it be convenient for you to come out alone? I have something to ask you. ”
Chen Jianqiu didn't answer him, he patted the angry Hanif in front of him, and whispered to him: "Restraint, restraint." ”
Chen Jianqiu bypassed Hanif and walked down the stairs step by step, with Camilla following him.
He walked straight past Van Cleeff and looked at the Santa Fe sheriff as if he were nothing.
Van Cleef, who was ignored, was very angry, he reached out and wanted to grab this person's arm, but he didn't see how Chen Jianqiu changed his walking posture, just leaned slightly sideways.
He grabbed it in one hand.
"Stop! Or I'll arrest you! Van Cleef said as he pulled out the gun from his waist.
But Hanif's roar came: "Van Cleef! I'm going to duel with you, and I'll never forget the insult you gave me!" ”
When all the guests on the first floor heard the "duel", they all turned their heads in unison.
The sheriff turned his head and glanced at Hanif, who was angry like a bull: "Excuse me, sir, what did you just say?" ”
"I said, I, want, with, you, duel, fight!"
Hanif's voice was amplified several times by decibels, as if it had been equipped with a megaphone, and it was transmitted out of the hotel, and everyone on the street at the door could hear it.
"Holy! There is a duel! ”
"Who's with whom?"
"It looks like it's in a hotel, Sheriff Van Cleef just walked in."
"Go and tell my wife, there's a good show to watch, let them come over quickly!"
……
"Did you hear that? This Wyoming hillbilly wants to challenge me! Van Cleef spread his hands to the people around him and laughed.
Some of the people present also laughed wildly.
Sergeant Van Cleef is not only vigorous in handling cases, but also known for his marksmanship, and when he was not promoted to sergeant, he once won four consecutive duels with several Mexicans and killed a family.
"Come on! You bunny! I'm going to kill you. "Hanif is not far behind, his gun is fast, and he has never lost a duel,
He was beaten up by Van Cleef all night, and he had to get out.
In the West, duels have always been illegal, but judges tend to favor those who have won a life-and-death decision.
As long as they don't blatantly foul and draw their guns first, most of them will be exonerated as "justified defense".
The people of the west always admire the brave, who can say what happened at that moment.
Chen Jianqiu and Camilla also stopped and stood by the door of the hotel.
Van Cleef and Hanif walked out of the hotel door one after the other and into the street.
When passing by Chen Jianqiu's side, Van Cleef gave him a vicious look and pointed at him with his finger: "Don't run, I'll settle accounts with you later." ”
Chen Jianqiu smiled.
At this time, the hotel was already crowded with people, and people had put down their work to come to watch, and their bosses were not harsh, because they themselves were in the crowd of onlookers.
Entertainment in the West is too scarce, and people's greatest pleasure is to watch hangings and duels, and the common denominator of the two is dead and irregular.
What's more, one of the two sides of the duel now is the famous Sheriff Van Cleeff of Santa Fe.
There was already a fat man who opened the market and gambled on the wins and losses on both sides.
The sheriff's strength is certainly beyond doubt, and his record is well known; But that Wyoming bounty hunter also looks pretty good, and at least judging by the beard, it's not a character to mess with.
A large area was made available for the two
Van Cleef and Hanif stand on opposite sides of the street, about ten meters apart from each other.
Astor and the innkeeper stood at the door of the hotel as witnesses.
"Two, after I count to three, you can shoot at any time, and Mr. Astor and I are here to witness ......"
The store manager was still chattering about the process, but the communication between the two of them had not stopped.
"CNM,!"
"Lick me XX, trash!"
……
There is no slaughter and gentleman in later movies, and the two are still greeting each other and each other's families with dirty words before shooting.
“1!”
The hustle and bustle of the crowd of onlookers had stopped, and everyone was staring at the hands of both sides with wide eyes, for fear that they had missed something.
“2!”
Chen Jianqiu leaned against the door and quietly looked at the two people in the field; Camila stood next to him.
“3!”
"Bang! Bang! ”
As soon as the store manager's words fell, two gunshots rang out at the scene, and the two gunmen took out their pistols almost at the same time, and fired them almost at the same time.
Van Cleef's hat flew to the back, and he subconsciously touched his head, and when he found that there were no wounds, he laughed.
Hanif was a little less lucky, the bullet knocked off the sheriff's hat, and he himself, shot in the shoulder blade, fell to the ground.
"Donnie, let's take a look at your master's injuries, Young Master Astor, please find someone to treat him." Chen Jianqiu called out to Donnie, walked to Hanif's side, crouched down and began to examine his wounds.
"Damn, it's been a long time since I've practiced, my hands are raw, uh......" Hanif gritted his teeth and said strongly.
Van Cleef raised his hands and enjoyed the cheers of the crowd of onlookers.
He won again!
Although the gun on the opposite side was also not very slow, it was clearly still inferior to him.
At this moment, the depression of this period of time is gone, what senator, what bullshit case, he is the king of Santa Fe!
Chen Jianqiu stood up, just about to tell Donnie to find a way to get Hanif to Astor's carriage as soon as possible.
Before he could speak, Van Cleef on the other side was already pointing at him.
"Chinese! Come, duel with me! You just ignored me and insulted me, and I want to win back my dignity. ”
He was sure that this man must have something to do with McCall's murder, yes, no.
If ten minutes ago he was still struggling with how to kill this man, Hanif provided him with an idea.
Duel!
You can't lose.
This time, he would shoot the Chinese in the head and tell Scott that the real killer was dead.
Chen Jianqiu turned around and responded lightly:
"Okay."
