Chapter 601

In this era, most Chinese people have pigtails on the back of their heads. They are thin and thin, which can not be compared with later generations. In addition, the Indians themselves are yellow. It is not surprising that Mr. bailiff admitted Zhang Heng wrong at night.

But when he got off the horse and walked closer, it was easy to tell the difference between the two.

This also relieved the bailiff. Considering the unhappiness between the colonists and the Indians, he did not want to bump into the muzzle of an Indian's gun in this desolate Gobi.

In order to let each other down completely, the bailiff then took off another holster at his waist and hung it on his horse.

Since the other side showed politeness, Zhang Heng also reciprocated and took back his revolver.

"Well, I didn't expect to meet a Chinese in this desolate place." The bailiff held out a hand. "My name is Morton."

Zhang Heng shook hands with the bailiff, "Zhang Heng, everything is possible, Mr. law enforcement officer."

"Where are you going, Mr. Zhang Heng?" The bailiff then asked casually.

"Lincoln County." Zhang Heng did not hide his destination.

"It's a good place. I just went there a month ago. Although there is no suitable land to grow tobacco, there are many pastures to graze. The dark beer in the bars in the town is also delicious. You don't want to miss it." Morton said and looked at the corn paste in the pot.

"Do as you please." Zhang Hengdao, anyway, he has decided to make a detour and go to other towns to supply. He doesn't care about the half bowl of corn porridge.

"Thank you. I'm welcome." Morton took out an iron box from the bag hanging by the saddle, which was probably his lunch box. He scooped two spoonfuls of corn paste in it, which was not too hot. He drank up the five out of two, and then licked his lips.

I think I should do something to repay Zhang Heng's food. The bailiff then said.

"With all due respect, Mr. Zhang Heng, it's not a wise choice for you to cross the Gobi to Lincoln County alone."

"Why do you say that?"

"This place is not peaceful. Homicide and robbery often happen. I'm just investigating a group of people. They have been chasing them for more than 20 days. They are playing under the guise of fur merchants, but they are probably doing business in private. Not long ago, there was a robbery in the Bank of liangyin town. A group of masked people killed the bank manager and another went to the bank The poor woman who saved money robbed 40 kilograms of gold. When she was evacuated, she was chased up by the local sheriff. After a fierce battle, the sheriff was shot to death, and some of the masked people were injured, but it should be only minor injuries. "

The bailiff paused. "Before the incident, someone saw that group of fur merchants appeared near the town. They were very suspicious. Speaking of it, where did you come from? Did you see any suspicious people along the way?"

Zhang Heng didn't expect that there was such a story behind the people he killed in the bar. The description of the law enforcement officer coincided with the group he met in the bar before. Zhang Heng guessed that the identities of those people might not be very clean at that time. After all, no matter how it was said, he had never heard that the fur merchant had set up his stronghold in a small town without people, and those guys You don't seem to want to be good.

However, he was busy entering the main task and didn't want to meddle in his own business. After getting the information he wanted, he solved the last person cleanly.

Zhang Heng didn't expect this good habit to let him pass by 40 kilograms of gold. He later searched the tavern and found no gold. Considering that at the last moment before Ritchie died, he thought Zhang Heng had accepted his settlement proposal and even didn't have time to give up the whereabouts of the gold in exchange for his own life.

"No, I haven't seen anyone who fits your description along the way, Mr. sheriff." Zhang Heng light way, "but after I will pay attention to, encounter words immediately inform you."

Zhang Heng will never admit that he has met that group of people in any case. He killed him without being convicted, but he was just a suspect. The most important thing is about the whereabouts of 40 kilograms of gold. Even if he told the truth that he did not see the shadow of the gold, he would not really believe him.

What's more, he is just a Chinese, Zhang Heng is very wise to pull himself out of this matter.

He even thought about whether to kill the bailiff in front of him. After all, the place where they met was not far from the uninhabited town. Although Zhang Heng walked for two days, he estimated that he would arrive in one day with the horsemanship of the bailiff. There were not many people in the Gobi, and the other party might suspect him.

However, he finally gave up the idea. The bailiff may be alone in tracking the trail of rich and others, but he can't kill them alone after finding them. There should be companions and helpers. Zhang Heng doesn't know how far his companions and helpers are from here, and whether they will also encounter each other. He can't kill everyone he meets.

Morton stares into the eyes of the Chinese in front of him. He can't see anything unusual. No, it should be said that this man is quite different from all the Chinese he met before. He walks alone in the Gobi, and doesn't look timid when he comes to a strange environment. He even dares to draw a gun at himself. At the same time, he seems to know the law of the west very well It's like having been in Europe for a long time, even with some London accent. He just sits there and seems very quiet most of the time. However, no one dares to ignore him because of the silence.Mysterious oriental. Morton thought and said with a smile, "no matter whether it turns out or not, I'll go to Lincoln County again in a while. If you have any news, you can directly tell the sheriff there and ask him to take a message to me. Remember, those people are very dangerous. If you really meet them, you'd better make a detour."

"Thank you for reminding me, Mr. sheriff, and I wish you all the best in your mission." Zhang Heng nodded his thanks.

In the vast Gobi desert, it's rare to meet similar people. They had a night off together. During this time, Zhang Heng also asked the bailiff for some riding tips. Morton was very surprised, because he saw Zhang Heng's beautiful shooting skills, even more than most cowboys. However, what he didn't think was that Zhang Heng was like a rookie who didn't know anything, even if some were very basic He seems to know the basic things for the first time.

Such a guy dares to ride to Lincoln County 400 miles away by himself. Morton really doesn't know whether he should praise his opponent's courage or not.
