Things are over in Shepherd Dog Town.

The circus detectives are ready to withdraw.

When Chen Jianqiu passed by the camp, they were dismantling the gallows and transporting the dismantled materials to the caravan.

Chen Jianqiu dismounted and walked into the camp with Sean.

"Wow"

The bald man threw a stack of wood on his shoulders onto the caravan.

He clapped his hands and turned his head to see Chen Jianqiu.

"Oh, it's you." The bald head seems to be laughing.

Chen Jianqiu was a little strange.

This bald head is obviously laughing, but how do you look at it and feel a little uncomfortable, it seems to be purely a physical discomfort.

"Why, you still want to have another boxing match?" He glanced at his bald head.

The bald head shook his head: "If you don't fight now, your boxing path has been figured out by you, and when I go back, I will practice a new set and fight with you." ”

Chen Jianqiu was a little interested:

"Why did Pinkerton fire you in the first place?"

"He killed a witness." The one-armed old man stepped out of the tent.

He came to Chen Jianqiu and stretched out a hand to the Chinese: "Seth Brown, just call me Brown." ”

Chen Jianqiu shook his hand:

"What about the little girl with two ponytails? Why didn't you see her? ”

"Yo, I didn't expect the famous Mr. Chen to think about me." The double ponytail jumped out of which corner and said with a hippie smile.

In good conscience, the appearance of the double ponytail is not too ugly, and when you look at it, it is hard to imagine that this baby-faced woman is in her thirties.

"I want to eat apples, can't I?" Chen Jianqiu didn't smile at his face.

"Where's her man?" He craned his neck and shouted at the camp, "Come out and take care of your woman, she's hooking up with men!" ”

The double ponytail pouted and left.

"Anne Oakley." Brown looked at the back of the double ponytail and said her name, "nicknamed 'Babyface.'" ”

He pointed to the bald head again: "His name is Jalen Duren, nicknamed 'The Executioner', and he sometimes doesn't take it lightly." ”

"Talent." Chen Jianqiu sighed with emotion, "To make a long story short, are you interested in joining the Border Detective Agency?" ”

"Well, I thought you weren't at our level." Brown smiled awkwardly.

"The company will regularly pay you for the case and salary, except for the tasks issued by the headquarters, you can take the tasks yourself at other times."

Chen Jianqiu made a condition that Brown couldn't refuse.

"So what else are the requirements?" The old man asked.

"Your team is called the 'Circus Branch', and it continues to parade around the country as a circus, taking a telegram every other week to tell the headquarters your exact location."

"No problem."

After taking over the circus detectives, Chen Jianqiu returned to Roosevelt's ranch.

He was ready to bid his farewell to Roosevelt.

However, when he walked into the house, he found boxes in the living room.

Roosevelt was packing.

"Are you going home?" Chen Jianqiu looked at the box on the ground and asked.

"Yes, Alice is frightened, I'll take her back to New York first."

"This place should be bad for her, it couldn't be worse."

Roosevelt removed the frame from the mantelpiece, wiped it with a cloth, folded it, and put it in the box.

"The ranch case has been solved, and I have an explanation for the people of this town."

"I'm going to entrust someone to go out gradually, and the mayoral election in New York City is about to begin, and I'm going to go back and prepare."

"Well, I'm here to tell you that we're ready to withdraw too." Chen Jianqiu leaned against the door and said.

"Oh? Then let's go together tomorrow. Roosevelt straightened up and laughed.

The nearest railway station is Bismarck, more than 200 km away.

They still have to walk some distance.

The next morning, a wagon had stopped outside the ranch house.

The groom is a man who seems to be honest and reliable.

The lessons of Pink and Catherine made Roosevelt even more wary of the people here.

However, with Chen Jianqiu here, Roosevelt thought there would be no problem.

The carriage was for Alice to sit and put her luggage.

Roosevelt and Chen Jianqiu rode together.

The birds also came back from the reserve to join them.

He had an extra bow and arrow and a quiver on his shoulder, which seemed to be a souvenir left to him by the old sitting cow.

When everything was ready, they set off.

After walking a few dozen kilometers east along the road, the surrounding environment and landforms have undergone some changes.

There was less bare ground and ravines, more trees and grass, and at the same time, some mountains appeared ahead.

"It's rough ahead." Roosevelt said, pointing to the mountains.

The people walked a little further until they came into a valley.

At this time, it was already evening, Chen Jianqiu and Roosevelt discussed it and decided to set up camp here for the night.

Because if you go any further, you will enter the mountains.

They were fine, but Alice in the carriage couldn't hold it anymore.

After a long journey, the little girl's face showed tiredness.

After setting up a tent and lighting a bonfire, Chen Jianqiu grabbed his pump-action shotgun and prepared to go out with the birds to find a water source, and by the way, get some prey and come back for dinner.

Roosevelt immediately grabbed his gun when he learned that they were going hunting.

"How can you not call me for hunting?" He said with interest.

So, the team that went out hunting became Chen Jianqiu and Roosevelt, and Asuka and Sean stayed in the camp to take care of Alice while watching the groom.

The valley at sunset is exceptionally beautiful.

At this time, it is spring, the trees in the mountains grow new green leaves, and all kinds of unnamed flowers bloom in the mountains, and the whole valley is colored in the reflection of the setting sun.

Roosevelt was an experienced hunter.

He took Chen Jianqiu as he walked, looking everywhere for the traces left by his prey.

Soon, he found a set of hoof prints on the ground.

It was left by a deer, from the imprint, and the prey had just left.

The two followed the trail, and a lump of deer dung along the way also confirmed Roosevelt's idea.

They walked into a dense bush from which they came.

Suddenly, Chen Jianqiu raised his head.

He seemed to hear the sound of running water coming from the direction directly ahead.

He pulled Roosevelt to crouch down with him, then gently flicked the branch in front of him.

Sure enough, there was a small river ahead.

In the lower reaches of the river, a deer is standing by the river, bowing its head and drinking from the water.

A flash of excitement flashed in Roosevelt's eyes behind his lenses.

He glanced at Chen Jianqiu beside him.

However, Chen Jianqiu's attention didn't seem to be on his side, nor on the deer by the river.

He seemed to be listening intently to something, his eyes wandering in other directions.

Seeing that Chen Jianqiu did not react, Roosevelt stuck the barrel of the gun in his hand out of the bush and aimed it at the deer by the river.

The deer, unaware of its target, lifted its nose and droplets of water dripped from its wet snout.

It rolled its ears and looked around, as if sensing something.

Just as Roosevelt was about to pull the trigger.

Suddenly.

There was a rustling sound from the bushes, and then a black shadow burst out.

It's a cougar.

It rushed at a speed that ordinary people could not see, leaped high only a few yards from Roosevelt, showed its claws and fangs, and struck at its prey.

"Bang!"

A loud gunshot echoed through the valley.

Flocks of birds in the forest soared into the air and flew into the air; The deer by the river was frightened and ran away without a trace in an instant;

At the same time, there were various other animals drinking water by the river.

It was as if a still image had been activated in an instant, with hares and some squirrels scurrying around.

The cougar fell from mid-air, and Chen Jianqiu stepped forward and shot it again in the head to make sure the big cat didn't move.

Roosevelt came to his senses, he looked at the body of the cougar on the ground, and subconsciously touched his neck.

"Oh my God, you saved my life again." Roosevelt gave Chen Jianqiu a thumbs up, "If I become the president of the United States, I will definitely hire you as my bodyguard." ”

Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows:

"It's a deal."

Roosevelt looked at Chen Jianqiu's expression, and always felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Chen Jianqiu put away the shotgun.

He walked up to the body of the cougar, bent down, and lifted it up and carried it over his shoulders.

"Mr. Roosevelt, let's have dinner today, cougar meat!"
