Chapter 605

The three people who were alive not long ago turned into three corpses, hanging under the wooden platform and motionless like air dried salted fish. After half a day, it was determined that they were all dead and could not die again. Naturally, someone took the rope from their necks to collect the corpses.

The drunkard Sergeant finished his work and climbed down from the wooden platform. The crowd of onlookers also dispersed. While walking, he talked about what happened just now, especially what the one armed man said at the end, which made many people worried. For a moment, he could not even pay attention to the New Oriental in the town.

At this time, Zhang Heng also looked at the reward on the wall. There was no ideal reward. He could only draw a general from the dwarf and quickly wrote down the appearance of several fugitives who might be caught.

After that, Zhang Heng led the radish to the town's grocery store, and the man behind him who was watching him came to the door of the grocery store. But after a while, he didn't see Zhang Heng come out of the grocery store. He was a little worried. He wanted to look inside for fear of being found, and the guy's horse was still outside the grocery store, which should not disappear suddenly .

Just when he hesitated, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him, "are you following me secretly?"

Zhang Heng also had some accidents when he saw the tracking.

Although the other party tried to pretend to be an adult, it seemed that he was only 11 or 12 years old, with a lot of freckles and childishness on his face. No wonder he didn't notice when he looked back.

"Are you the sister of those two cowboys?"

"What cowboy Oh, you mean those guys. No, I have nothing to do with them, sir Said the girl.

"Then why are you following me?" Zhang Heng stuffed the soap and other daily necessities he bought from the grocery store into his pocket beside the saddle.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I My name is Wendy, and my father is a rancher nearby

"So?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"I see you are looking for a job. Here's the thing. About two weeks ago, my father went on a long trip to talk about a business. He said he would come back in ten days at most, but as you can see, so far he has exceeded the deadline he said."

"Maybe there's something on the way that's delayed." Zhang Heng Dao, since the freckled girl in front of her has nothing to do with the two cowboys, Zhang Heng doesn't mean to embarrass her. He turns around and is ready to take the radish away.

As a result, Wendy saw him turn around and stand in front of him again.

"No, my father has always been a punctual man, and there is a telegraph office in the town where he went. If he is delayed there by any accident, he will certainly send a telegram to my mother and me."

"And then?"

"Then he didn't do it. We've lost contact with him for a long time. Mom and I are worried about his safety."

"I can understand your concern, but shouldn't you go to the sheriff in town for such a thing?" Zhang Heng changed direction and led radish over Wendy.

"I went to sheriff trell, but he telegraphed to the police station in that town, and he replied that my father had left six days ago."

"So your problem is solved?"

"No, of course not. I think they're lying. It's obvious. If my father left six days ago, he should be home by now, and he would send a telegram to my mother and me before he left." Wendy followed Zhang Heng excitedly.

"But the sheriff said he had left there."

"I don't know. I have a bad feeling that something might have happened." Wendy said, "I told Sergeant Terrell my hunch, but he didn't believe me at all. He just told me to go home and wait. The bailiffs in the town were also busy with other cases. They wouldn't take the time to find my father."

"Where are your father's friends? Why don't you ask them for help? "

"We don't have many friends here. My mother is a Spanish immigrant and my father is half of the Apache tribe, so you're not the first one to be isolated in the town, and you won't be the last one." Wendy said, "I know how it feels. I saw what you did when you first came into town. I think you're a tough guy, just like my father, so I want to offer you a job, sir

"To help you find your father?"

"Yes, I can give you sixty dollars when it's done." Wendy said, nervously looking into Zhang Heng's eyes.

The price Basically, it's similar to an ordinary reward, and it's in line with Zhang Heng's ideal job of focusing on investigation and not running back and forth. Although the investigation may have to leave Lincoln County for a period of time, it should not be a big problem for Zhang Heng, who has a long copy time. In addition, other rewards basically have to leave the town, so it's not unreasonable It's acceptable.

But some things need to be made clear in advance. Zhang Heng stops, "what if I accept your entrustment, but then your father goes home?""In that case, I'll pay for it."

Zhang Heng nodded, "maybe you don't like it very much when I say that But what if something happened to your father? "

"It doesn't matter. I've considered all kinds of possibilities myself," Wendy hesitated. "As long as I can prove that he's really not in the world, I can pay you the money."

"Good. I took the job." Zhang Heng said, "pay half of the money as deposit first, then write an employment contract, and tell me more about your father. I'll come back to you as soon as I get the result."

Wendy was overjoyed, but then said, "don't bother. Let's just start together. I'll tell you about my father on the way, and I'll know the result at the first time."

"Wait, you said you were going to go with me to your father?" Zhang Heng frowned.

"Yes, don't despise me just because of my age. I can help you a lot." Wendy straightened her chest and said, "in addition to providing information about my father, there are many things I can do. When I was 7 years old, I tamed lightning, my first horse, even though she was just a foal at that time..."

"But you know we may be in danger this time." Zhang Heng doesn't want to be around with a tow bottle.

"Of course, that's why I pay you, or I'll go myself." Wendy's eyes widened, puzzled.

"So You just want to pay for a bodyguard? "

"Yes, if you want to call yourself that."

"Goodbye." Zhang Heng said simply, and then he led the radish to the direction of the hotel.

Seeing this, Wendy yelled, "how about 70 dollars, or 75 dollars? That's the highest price I can offer. If it's higher, I'll go to other people. Although the people in the town don't like our family, they won't have a problem with money. As long as I bid high enough, someone will be willing to be my bodyguard."

"Please. I'm not interested in being directed by a kid." Zhang Heng waved his hand and said, "I wish you can find your father soon, Wendy."
