Chapter 160: Encircled
What is the current world newspaper, this is called the current world newspaper, if you say the wrong thing, you will be shot when you go out.
Chen Jianqiu also heard the gunshots outside the door, he immediately extinguished the gas lamp in the house, leaned against the wall, and observed the movement outside the house.
It's a mess there.
Sergeant Pyler retreated into the hallway, leaning against the wall and pulling out his revolver.
He's looking for where the gun came from.
In the courtyard outside, a police officer was lying on the ground, he was one of the few people in charge of patrolling just now, while the others didn't know where they had gone.
Of the officers who had been guarding the doors of each room, two died at the entrance of the hallway, and the rest were gone.
"Miles! Hammond! He called out the names of his men, who had been interrogating prisoners in the nearest interrogation room.
But no one answered.
Pyler looked down the hallway to the side of the interrogation room.
"Bang!"
The door to the interrogation room is suddenly slammed open, and the two men scuffle and fall out, and Sergeant Pyler distinguishes that one of them is Fred's henchman and the other is Miles.
Fred's men were strong, holding Miles firmly under his body, reaching for the revolver in the officer's hand.
Miles, who was in the lower position, struggled to resist, trying to break free from the strong man's suppression, but there was obviously a certain gap in strength.
"Bang"
The revolver in Officer Pyler's hand rang out.
He hit the strong man in the head, and the strong man fell to the ground, and there was no movement in an instant. The officers below him broke free and ran toward Sergeant Perler with guns.
"What happened? What about Hammond? Pyler asked, looking at his panting men.
"Hammond is undercover! There was a gunshot outside, and I wanted to go out and see what was going on, but as soon as I turned around, Hammond pulled out a gun and shot me, and if it wasn't for my luck, the table blocked a shot for me, and I would have died just now. ”
"This, how is this possible?"
Pyler was dumbfounded, he never expected that there would be a mole in his police team.
However, at this time, three people had already rushed in at the gate of the courtyard, and they saw the sheriff leaning against the corridor, still in shock.
By the time the sheriff noticed them, it was too late, and the guns in the hands of the three men had already been raised.
It looks like Pyler and Miles have three more holes in their bodies.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Three gunshots.
But it was not the sheriff who fell, but the three men who rushed into the courtyard, two of whom were shot in the heart, fell to the ground and refused to do so, and the other was hit in the abdomen and fell to the ground groaning.
"Don't worry, sheriff, there will be no fewer undercover agents in your police force, and it is estimated that there will be more inside and outside." A voice rang out of Peal's ear.
Pyler and Miles were startled, turned their heads, and saw Chen Jianqiu squatting beside them.
Miles was even more frightened, he found that the gun in his hand didn't know when it would reach Chen Jianqiu's hand.
"Don't move! Give me the gun. Miles shouted at Chen Jianqiu.
"Shut up, can you maintain the gun next time! Your Remington's accuracy is almost catching up with the Volcano pistol. Chen Jianqiu obviously didn't plan to return the revolver in his hand.
He turned to Sheriff Pyler: "Where's my car?" ”
His weapons were all on the cart.
Sergeant Pyler didn't speak, he checked his gun, and continued to stare in the direction of the courtyard entrance.
Although Chen Jianqiu had just saved his life, his pride made him disdain to fight with the wanted criminal.
Instead, Miles replied honestly, "Stopped outside the yard." ”
Chen Jianqiu let out an "um" sound.
He turned on the shooter state, and the situation around the courtyard instantly became clear in his eyes.
But what surprised him was that it seemed that there was not only a group of people staring here.
A group of people blocked the entrance of the courtyard, all dressed as cowboys, and from Chen Jianqiu's angle, there were at least five or six of them who could be seen, some of them were shooting at the entrance of the courtyard, and some were ready to rush in.
As for the dress of the other group of people, Chen Jianqiu is very familiar: dressed in formal clothes and bowler hats, there are not many people, Chen Jianqiu can see three or four, they are hiding in a few trees around the courtyard.
They remained silent, guns pointed into the courtyard.
When did Pinkerton arrive in Lincolnshire? How did these haunting guys reappear?
This is a bit troublesome, and it is a bit unrealistic to break through the blockade of the yard on the opposite side with just a Remington revolver.
At this time, a series of gunshots came from the basement.
"Plug them! Don't let them out! A police officer's voice came from the basement.
Pealer's face suddenly slackened, the voice was familiar to him, it was one of his deputies.
It turned out that after the gunshot, the police officers who were guarding the door of the room just now, except for some who ran away with the patrolling officers, two stayed on the first floor, and the rest were led by this deputy to the basement where Fred and his men were being held for the first time.
They knew that if these people ran out and took the weapons, then their side would be the place where there would be no place to die.
Fred, with a bandage on his head, was most concerned about the movement outside, even though he only had one ear.
He lay on the template bed, and estimated that the lawyer had been out for three or four hours.
Either the bail order signed by the judge will arrive, or Reddy Thomas' men will show up outside the police station.
Sure enough, the gunshots rang out, and the great moment of his Fred's escape from prison was approaching.
It's a big deal to kill the sheriff, put a bounty on the order, and fall into the grass, anyway, it's not the first time they've killed a sheriff in Lincolnshire, and it's not the first time he's Fred to start a business.
The policeman who was guarding the door opened the door and walked in, opening the cell door for him without saying a word.
Fred was ecstatic, it seemed that his previous money had not been spent in vain, he snatched the gun from the back of the policeman, and rushed out the door with his men.
The basement was in chaos now, and some of the officers had escaped, going undercover to free his prisoners and mingle with the rest of the officers.
Fred, with his head half-bandaged, rushed to the front.
knew that the undercover agent on his side was so reliable, and the one who received the money was so good, and he also looked for his "worship brother" to dry his hair, and he came to save the matter.
Seeing the menacing situation on the opposite side, the deputies gathered the surviving police officers who had not yet defected and retreated.
It wasn't until they retreated to the staircase on the first floor that they slowed down the offensive of the prisoners below.
They held the staircase with their guns, and there were only two or three guns below Fred, and the rest were all bare-handed.
But if the police run out of bullets, it's hard to say.
Outside the courtyard, there are bandits and Pinkerton stuck at the courtyard gate, and inside Fred will attack at any time.
Chen Jianqiu suddenly found that their situation seemed to have fallen into a dead end.
Gunshots rang out near the police station, but the residents of Lincolnshire were not surprised, the chaos in the town was not the first day, they were used to it.
But in addition to them, someone else heard the gunshots.
Sean and Holmes also heard it, they had already met Camilla with Hanif and Downey, and were discussing the time of departure on the first floor of the hotel.
They were able to assemble also thanks to Hanif.
For the simple reason that he was the only one who knew Camilla and Sean respectively, the courtesan of the bounty hunter proved once again that he was not in vain, and he quickly brought everyone together.
"There are gunshots outside." Hanif walked to the door.
Camila and Sean followed.
"It doesn't seem right, the gunfire is very dense, it's not a simple shootout." Camilla and Hanif glanced at each other, both of them were experienced bounty hunters, and their judgment of gunfire was very accurate.
Then, the two of them looked at Sean on the side at the same time.
As far as they knew, Chen Jianqiu would send this black man to a night reconnaissance mission before, as long as he could control his desire to "thieves don't go empty", the investigation effect was often very good.
Sean was furious by the two of them, and he shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go." ”
But before they saw Sean rushing back from the night, panting.
"What's wrong?" Hanif asked.
"Boss, boss, something happened! Ping, Pinkerton's gang is also there, and there are a lot of local bandit cowboys, who are besieging the compound. Sean said breathlessly.
"Speak slowly." Holmes also walked out.
So Sean told them what had happened to him.
Sean had just followed the sound of gunfire to the vicinity of the police station, he was walking against the wooden wall of the house, and suddenly he heard the sound of rustling in the trees above his head, and when he looked up, he saw two Pinkerton detectives there, holding their guns and aiming at the courtyard in front of them.
He groped along the wall of the courtyard and saw a cart parked outside the courtyard wall, with some groceries on it.
He glanced at the goods on the cart in the faint light, but the more he looked at them, the more familiar they became.
A lot of it was procured by him.
This is the batch of materials that Chen Jianqiu brought back, but why is it here now? Also got a different car?
Is the boss ......
Sean didn't dare to think about it and quickly ran back.
"How many people are there outside the police station?" Hanif asked eagerly.
"Probably a few dozen people."
"Shall we discuss and analyze what the situation is now?" As soon as Hanif made his proposal, someone around him moved.
Under the eyes of everyone, Camilla wore a dark red skirt and had already stepped into the night.
She sprang forward, carrying a long bag behind her, which in shape was a piece of cloth wrapped around a spear.
"Donnie, Uncle Holmes, you go and tell Jeronimo and them the news first." Sean instructed the two.
He looked in the direction where Camilla had gone, and said to himself, "What is she doing alone?" ”
Hanif nodded thoughtfully: "He should be going to save her man." ”
Sean came to his senses and said to Hanif, "Let's go too." ”
"The boss often tells me a proverb from his hometown, 'Evil lives for a thousand years.'" ”
"He always said that he was a scourge, so he shouldn't die so easily."
