Chapter 610

"Thank you, sheriff, for coming forward to help us out. Although I still have doubts about the last 20 yuan compensation, we are not unreasonable people. It is not easy to understand your difficulties and maintain the law and order of a town." Wendy said to the sheriff when the barkers left.

The latter was amused by the girl's little adult like words and said with a smile, "I'm glad you can understand and cooperate with my work. Madam, your father is not so reasonable..."

However, after that, he seemed to realize that he had let the slip of the tongue, and a touch of chagrin appeared on the old cowboy's face.

"Wait, you know me and my father. How is that possible?" Wendy's eyes widened.

"Your father and I are friends. He loves you very much and has shown me your photos several times." Now the Sheriff has to admit it.

"But I never heard your father mention you."

"Well, maybe it's because each of us has a story we don't want to talk about."

"What past?" Wendy asked.

"I'm afraid what I don't want to mention is that I don't want to be known by others." Sheriff's way.

"Please, my father is missing now, probably because of what you said." Wendy said.

"Your father is missing. When?" The sheriff was stunned.

"I don't know the specific time. Just 15 days ago, he said that he had a business to talk about and left home. My mother and I thought that this time, as usual, he would come back in a few days. He also told us that. However, now that he has exceeded the time limit he promised, he still doesn't go home."

"So that's why you came out? Wait, does your mother know you're in Glenville? " As the magistrate said, he glanced at Zhang Heng.

"Mr. Zhang Heng was employed by me to help me find my father and protect my safety along the way." "He's a great shooter," Wendy said

"Well, those good shooters I know don't end well. On the contrary, those without guns live longer."

"I don't agree with that. If I had a gun, that would not have happened." Wendy said.

The old cowboy laughed, but did not retort. Some things are not understood by young people of this age. He said sincerely, "you should go home. He will take care of your father's affairs himself. You just need to wait at home."

"But it's a pity that I'm not the kind of person to sit at home and wait for something bad to happen and then accept it." Wendy said stubbornly, "if the storm comes, I will go into the storm, so whether you want to help me or not, I will continue to look for my father."

"But you're only twelve."

"Twelve is old enough, sheriff."

After a while, the sheriff said, "well, I still have some important things on hand. I can't spare myself. Give me a week and I'll go to your father for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I've been delayed for a long time. I'm afraid I can't wait another week. I think I'd better do it myself." Wendy refused politely but firmly.

"With all due respect, Wendy, you are too young to understand the world, especially those In the dark corner, you can't just pick up a person and go on the road with him. " This time, the sheriff said it straight.

"Mr. Zhang Heng is a good man. I don't need to live to your age to see that. But you, Mr. sheriff, suddenly appear and claim to know my father. But my father never mentioned you to me. How can I believe what you said?" Wendy paused. "Maybe my father's disappearance has something to do with you."

"What a sharp mouth." The old cowboy was not angry when he was questioned. Instead, he said with a smile, "Matthew has a good daughter. Well, it seems that I can't stop you, ma'am, but please let me give you a ride when you start tomorrow. You just offended barks. He and his former Ranger friends still have a lot of influence around here."

"Thank you, sheriff. When I find my father, I'll tell him about your rescue tonight."

…………

When this happened, Wendy couldn't continue to inquire about her father's whereabouts in the bar. After saying goodbye to the old cowboy sheriff, she asked for two apple pies and went back to the hotel with Zhang Heng.

"You should listen to him." Zhang Heng said, "now it seems that there may be something behind your father's disappearance. Since he kept it from you, he just didn't want you to know."

"Then you won't get your reward."

"I can do other rewards to make money," Zhang Heng said quietly. "And remember what I said before?"

"You told that guy that you'd never leave the county if you could?"

"Not that one. Earlier, I told you not to get into trouble. You promised me that I would let you go to the bar to investigate.""I didn't cause any trouble, I said. He touched me first." Wendy stressed.

"And then you turn around and take out your knife and try to stab him to death?"

"My father told you that when you are the shortest and the least powerful person in the room, you have to be the strongest, so that other people don't dare to offend you, because they know it's a price to pay."

"Then you were pressed on the table and almost cut off your palm," Zhang Heng stopped and looked into Wendy's eyes. "Hey, kid, listen, I can't guarantee that every time you are in the most dangerous time, you could have come back to me to deal with it."

Wendy was silent for a moment and said, "people in the town don't like our family. My father is often away, and my mother can't read. I'm used to solving everything by myself."

"But you paid me just to let me solve these things for you." Zhang Heng said, "you have to promise me that you won't be so reckless when you encounter such a thing again, or I will send you home."

"We have an agreement. You promise to help me find my father." Wendy protested.

"That's right, when the agreement says that everything is up to me, so it means that when I stop, we stop, when I think we can't go any further, we go home."

"That's too cunning." Wendy said, "it's just cheating."

"It's OK for you to understand that. Come on, now follow me, sir. I know I'm wrong. I'll choose another way to solve the problem in the future."

“…………”

"You'd better speak quickly, or I'll leave you to the sheriff, who seems to be interested in sending you home."

"I know I'm wrong. I'll choose other ways to solve the problem in the future." Wendy twisted her neck and whispered reluctantly.

"Good. I'm glad we've reached an agreement again. Take your apple pie back to your room. We'll get up early tomorrow morning and start on our way." Zhang Heng said, "in addition, I paid the $20 for you in advance, which should be recorded in your account and paid to me when the settlement is made."
