On the other side, on the pier, the Chinese Mutual Aid Association.

Huang Qingyun closed the last board on the wall cabinet.

The wall behind his seat was a hollowed-out wall cabinet, and the gun given by Chen Jianqiu was hidden here.

Hanif and Donnie also patted the dust off their hands.

"Boss is almost there, isn't he?" Hanif looked out the dark door.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Outside the door there was the sound of horses' hooves, followed by footsteps.

Chen Jianqiu's figure appeared at the door.

Behind him, there was also a middle-aged man.

"Pack up and get ready to go."

Chen Jianqiu walked in the door and beckoned to Hanif and Donnie.

Through the kerosene lamp in the house, Hanif saw the blood stains on the surface of Chen Jianqiu's boots.

"Did it?" He whispered.

"Well, a couple of debt collectors." Chen Jianqiu pointed to Makqin behind him, "Get this gentleman a comfortable seat in the carriage." ”

"I can ride a horse." Makqin hurriedly replenished his skill points.

"Hanif, give up your horse to this gentleman, and I'll get you a better one." Chen Jianqiu said to Hanif.

Subsequently, he didn't pay attention to Hanif, who still had to argue with reason, but pulled Huang Qingyun aside.

"Uncle Huang, I'll leave the matter here to you." He lowered his head and whispered to Huang Qingyun.

"Don't worry, young master, I have a dual relationship between the Ningyang Guild Hall and the Chinese Workers' Mutual Aid Association, and now there are so many guns, no problem." Huang Qingyun patted his chest.

Chen Jianqiu nodded, but then leaned over to Huang Qingyun's ear.

His voice was lowered:

"Also, be careful of Li Shiri."

"Your senior brother?" Huang Qingyun looked at Chen Jianqiu with a shocked face.

"Yes." Chen Jianqiu's face was calm, "Uncle Huang, how did you know that I came to the United States?" ”

Huang Qingyun didn't know what Chen Jianqiu's words meant, so he replied truthfully: "Your master asked someone to send me a message." ”

"Did you mention my senior brother in that message?"

"Nope."

"Then later, did you receive a message from my master to send someone to carry it?"

"Uh, no. You mean? Huang Qingyun's expression changed dramatically.

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand:

When Shi Fang was eating grilled fish, combined with the hallucinations he had had before, he had some guesses.

"I'm just guessing. In short, it's better to be careful, he should be doing things for foreigners now, right? ”

Huang Qingyun agreed.

The two said goodbye.

After leaving the police station on the 10th, Lee turned around and found the Pinkerton Detective Agency and told the liaison officer about his junior brother's whereabouts.

As a veteran detective, the liaison quickly realized the value of this message.

However, he still didn't believe too much in the low-eyed Chinese in front of him.

"Why didn't you just tell Sheriff Potter?" The liaison officer looked at Li Shiri suspiciously.

"Because, I'm sure you might be able to get a better price."

Li Shiri pursed his lips and looked at the liaison.

The liaison nodded with satisfaction: "You go and stabilize him first, and I'll contact the higher-ups." ”

After walking out of Pinkerton's San Francisco office on the 10th, Lee headed straight for Chinatown.

However, he searched the entire Chinatown, but found no trace of Chen Jianqiu.

Li Shiri's heart was a little anxious, it was already dark, and he decided to go to Huang Qingyun to try his luck.

"Huh? Didn't he say goodbye to you? Huang Qingyun, who opened the door, looked dazed and shook his head, "I thought he was looking for you." ”

"Uh, no." Li Shiri's heart sank to the bottom.

Since they met again, his junior brother's personality has changed greatly, and his style of acting is incomprehensible.

"Do you know where he went?" Li Shiri thought about it for a while and asked again.

"Don't be kidding, you don't even know if you're his senior brother, where will I know." After Huang Qingyun finished speaking, he closed the door again.

Li Shiri, who was locked out, touched the ash of his nose.

He had no intention of speculating about the change in attitude of Huang Qingyun, who had always been polite to him, today.

Chen Jianqiu didn't stay to find trouble for himself, what did he want to do?

However, Li Shiri didn't have time to think about these things now, he had to think about how to explain to the liaison in Pinkerton tomorrow.

When Li Qingyun had a closed door at Huang Qingyun on the 10th, Chen Jianqiu and the others had already completed the rendezvous with Li Sifu and Long Xiang's group, and embarked on the journey back to Roswell.

Along the way, Chen Jianqiu and Ma Qin chatted a lot.

"Mr. Chen, don't you really want to hear what patents I have?" Makqin still wanted to figure out why Chen Jianqiu wanted to contain him.

"Well, you tell me about it." Chen Jianqiu only thought that this gentleman was promoting his patents.

"I invented an automatic fire extinguisher." Makqin said proudly.

"Well, yes, my refinery should be able to use it." Chen Jianqiu gave a thumbs up.

"I've also improved the gas lamp to make it safer and illuminate." Makqin continued.

"Well, this can make the nights brighter in our towns and roads." Chen Jianqiu cocked the thumb of his other hand.

Although Chen Jianqiu's answers were very decent and polite, Makqin could still see that he was interested.

These are obviously not what the Chinese billionaire wants.

So he shut his mouth.

The two men rode horses and walked silently along Route 66 through the Arizona desert.

"Mr. Makqin, do you really want to make a fortune?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly said to Ma Qin.

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Makqin replied without hesitation.

The failure of the competition with Edison and the days of debt during this period made him lament the importance of money.

"Then throw your chemistry and electricity aside, and if you want to make a fortune, invent a weapon that will make it easier for people to kill each other." Chen Jianqiu said.

"Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, every corner of the world is now about to be shrouded in the dark clouds of war."

Makqin mouthed off.

A merchant is a merchant,

He finally understood the reason why his inventions for so many years were always almost meaningless.

"When you get to Roswell, I'll take you on a tour of our range and studio, and of course, our production workshop is also in the works."

Makqin finally understood that the biggest identity of the person in front of him was an arms dealer.

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to get these things out." Makqin hesitated a little, "However, what you said is very reasonable. ”

"It's definitely going to be able to figure it out, you just need a little help." A mysterious smile appeared on Chen Jianqiu's face.

"By the way, if you're still short of people, I can call my brother Hudson Maxim over as well." "He owes money too." ”

It seems that this family is a gambler who is in debt at every turn and weighs on all their net worth.

"What does your brother do?"

"He's also an inventor, but he got started before I did."

"What he's working on is, explosives!"

One more, two more later
