Zhang Heng has walked a lot these days. When he came to the hotel, he took a hot bath to wash off the dirt on his body. By the way, he washed his clothes and hung them on the windowsill. It was estimated that he would be dry the next morning according to the local temperature, so that when he woke up, he could change into clean clothes.
After that, without waiting for the sun to set, Zhang Heng took off his boots and lay down on the bed.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but it was certainly not as long as he had planned. When he was awakened by the knock on the door, it was still dark outside.
Zhang Heng grabbed the revolver under his pillow for the first time, then leaned against the door, acting like a cheetah, and asked, "who?"
"It's me, sir, Wendy. We just met at the grocery store this afternoon." Humanity outside the door.
Zhang Heng did not immediately open the door, but frowned, "what do you want me to do?"
"I want to After thinking about your proposal in the afternoon, I think what you said is reasonable. " Wendy said.
"What did I say?"
Zhang Heng tidied his messy hair a little, and quickly put his trousers on his body. As for his coat, he decided to air it for a while.
"You say, I'm not interested in being led by a kid."
"Yes, you've got my answer. You can find someone else. By the way, do you know what time it is?"
"Five in the morning, sir." Wendy replied, "I thought about it later. I thought you could take full charge of the investigation. I was only responsible for providing suggestions. I don't know if you would be satisfied with that?"
"Who will come to talk at five in the morning?" Zhang Heng yawned.
"I'm sorry, I heard that you went to bed very early, and if we go on the road early, we can get to glen town in the evening. I just hope to find my father's whereabouts as soon as possible, especially when I think that he may fall into the hands of some bad people now, I can't sleep, please."
Wendy felt as if she was waiting for a trial. Every second was very long. After a while, she heard something moving behind the door. Zhang Heng moved the chair at the top of the door, and then said, "come in, slow down."
Wendy was overjoyed and walked in slowly according to Zhang Heng's request.
She saw the side of the gun Zhang Heng, the latter's bare upper body let her can't help but look at two more eyes.
Zhang Heng made sure that Wendy was not followed by anyone else, and that no one was hiding in the stairs or somewhere. Finally he put away his revolver and closed the door.
"Didn't your mother teach you not to enter a strange man's room at such a time?" Zhang Hengdao.
"I can protect myself." Wendy said, seeing that Zhang Heng didn't seem to believe it, she added, "if you want to do something to me, I'll shout it out at the first time. There are many people in the hotel, and it's not far from the police station. The sheriff will arrive soon. Although I'm not very popular in the town, it depends on who I am compared with, isn't it? Of course, I believe you are an upright and friendly man, sir."
"You think the world is too simple. If I'm really a bad person and want to do something to you, you can't shout out. You can't be so lucky every time. The best way to protect yourself is not to put yourself in danger."
"80 dollars It's $80, plus it's up to you. " Wendy didn't want to get entangled in this topic and raised his offer again.
Zhang Heng Wen Yan is noncommittal, "in contrast, I'm more curious about why you have to recognize me. As you said, you can hire other people at this price."
"I'm not sure they're trustworthy." Wendy was silent for a moment. "There's something I didn't tell you. My father has offended Lawrence g. Murphy. He's the most powerful man in the town. The groceries, bars, banks and hotels in the town are all his. Except for sheriff trell, the people in the town work for him. Why should they take his side? That's one of the reasons why I choose to come to you at this time. I'm sorry I don't know if my father's disappearance has something to do with major Murphy. I don't want to be seen. We have frequent contacts to avoid arousing his vigilance. "
"Well, that really explains why you hired a stranger like me to come to your father." Zhang Heng snorted, "but are you going to keep it from me all the time? In order to offend the actual ruler of the whole county for 80 yuan, the deal is not very cost-effective. " Has the final say, "
," no, sir, I was going to tell you on the road with other things, and things are not as bad as you think. Lincoln County is very large, though the town commander Murphy has the final say, but the ranchers and the owners are basically against him.
"Even so, it's still a loss to me." Zhang Heng poured himself a glass of water.
Wendy gritted her teeth. "What about a good horse? We also have 30 horses in our ranch. You can choose one of them. I notice that your horse is not a rare breed, and it's old. "
Zhang Heng doesn't know how the radish downstairs would feel when he heard that he was evaluated like this. However, Wendy's statement is also true. Zhang Heng knows his own business. Even if Wendy pulls out the red rabbit horse now, he can't ride it.But the price of a good horse itself is not cheap, at least eighty or ninety dollars, Wendy is equal to a direct double. This should be the bottom line for her who only increased the price by five yuan before.
One hundred and seventy dollars can be considered. It's enough for Zhang Heng to live for half a year. Anyway, even if he doesn't mess with that guy named Murphy, he won't like him because of his skin color. Moreover, it's not a big problem just to find someone.
Zhang Heng thought about it and suddenly asked, "do you know where the lucky horseshoe is?"
"Ah?" Wendy smell speech at a loss, don't know Zhang Heng this endless sentence is what meaning, "you want horseshoe?"
"Nothing, when I didn't ask." Zhang Heng had just heard that Wendy had raised a lot of horses in her family's ranch. It was no surprise that he didn't get the answer he wanted. He said to Wendy, "go get something to eat."
"What do you mean?" Wendy tensed.
"We'll be on the road after dinner. Didn't you say we'll be there in the evening?"
"No, it's a bit of a road. You can only go to the town where you stay in the middle of the night." Wendy was overjoyed. "I've got something to eat. I'll bring it up right away."
"What about you? How do you get there? Do you need a carriage?"
"You look down on the rancher's daughter. I'll ride with you."
