Chinese people in this era usually have braids behind their heads, and they are thin and thin. Compared with later generations, the Indians themselves are considered yellow. It is not too surprising that Mr. Marshal mistakenly identified Zhang Heng at night. thing.
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 unpleasantness between the colonists and the Indians, he did not want to hit an Indian muzzle in this deserted Gobi.
In order to make the other party completely relieved, the bailiff then took off another holster around his waist and hung it on the horse.
Since the other party showed courtesy, Zhang Heng also reciprocated the revolver in his hand.
"Well, I didn't expect to meet a Chinese in this desolate area." The bailiff held out a hand. "My name is Morton."
Zhang Heng shook hands with the bailiff. "Zhang Heng, everything is possible, Mr. Law Enforcer."
"Where are you going, Mr. Zhang Heng?" The bailiff then asked casually.
"Lincoln County." Zhang Heng did not hide his destination.
"Good place, I just went there a month ago. Although there is no suitable land to grow tobacco or anything, there are many pastures for grazing, and the dark beer in the town's bar also tastes good, and you won't want to miss it. "Morton said, looking at the corn paste in the eye pan.
"Please." Zhang Hengdao, anyway, he has decided to take a detour, go to another town on the way to replenish it, and don't care about the half bowl of polenta.
"Thank you, I'm welcome." Morton took out an iron box from the bag hanging next to the saddle, which is probably his lunch box. He scooped two spoonfuls of corn paste in it, and it was not too hot. I drank the second and then licked my lips.
Probably think that after eating Zhang Heng's food, what should be done in return, the bailiff then said.
"IMHO, Mr. Zhang Heng, it is not wise for you to choose to cross this Gobi to Lincoln County alone."
"Why do you say that?"
"This place is not very peaceful. Murder and robberies often occur. I was investigating a group of people. They have been behind them for more than twenty days. They are in the guise of fur traders but are likely to be doing it in private. In the face of an invisible act, a bank robbery occurred in Liangyin Town not long ago. A group of masked men killed the bank manager and a poor woman who went to the bank to deposit money. They robbed 40 kilograms of gold and evacuated. At that time, she was chased up by a local sheriff. After a fierce battle, the sheriff was shot dead. Some of the masked men were also injured, but it should be only slightly injured. "
The bailiff paused. "Some people saw the fur merchants appearing near the town before the incident. They are very suspicious. Speaking of, where did you come from and did you see any suspicious people along the way?"
Zhang Heng didn't expect that there were such stories behind the people he killed at the bar. The description of Mr. Law Enforcer coincided with the group of people he met in the bar before. Zhang Heng guessed those people at the time. The identity may not be very clean, after all, no matter how much you have heard, fur traders have set up their bases in unmanned towns, and those guys don't seem to want anything wrong.
However, he was busy entering the main task and didn't want to go about his business. After getting the news he wanted, he resolved the last person neatly.
And Zhang Heng didn't expect this good habit to pass him with forty kilograms of gold. After searching the tavern, he did not find the existence of gold, and considering that Rich was thinking about Zhang Heng at the last moment before his death. He had accepted his offer for reconciliation and had not even had time to offer his golden whereabouts in exchange for his own life.
"No, I didn't see anyone who met your description along the way, Mr. Law Enforcer." Zhang Hengdan said indifferently, "but I will pay attention to it later and will inform you as soon as possible."
Zhang Heng would never admit that he had met the group of people. Without saying that the other party was just a suspect and not convicted, he was killed by his brain. The most important thing was the whereabouts of 40 kg of gold, even if he To be honest, I didn't see those golden shadows and wouldn't really believe him.
What's more, he is only a Chinese. Zhang Heng was very sensible to pull himself out of this incident.
He even thought about whether to kill the bailiff in front of him. After all, the place where the two met was not far from the unmanned town. Although Zhang Heng walked for two days, it was estimated that the bailiff's equestrian would be one day. Yes, but there are not many people in this Gobi, the other party may still suspect him.
However, he finally gave up this idea ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The bailiff may be tracking someone like Rich and others, but after finding someone, he cannot kill him alone. There should be a companion and helper, Zhang Hengbu Knowing how far his companions and helpers are from here, is it possible that he will run into it? He can never kill everyone he meets.
Morton stared at the eyes of the Chinese in front of him. From there he couldn't see any abnormalities. No, it should be said that the person in front of him was quite different from all the Chinese people he had met before. He walked alone in Gobi without any When he came to an unfamiliar environment, he flinched, even daring to pull his own law enforcement officer. At the same time, he seemed to understand the legal environment in the west. He speaks fluent English as if he had been in Europe for a long time. There were also some London accents, and he was sitting there, most of the time he seemed very quiet, but no one dared to ignore him because of this quietness.
Mysterious oriental. Morton thought and smiled, "I will go to Lincoln County again after a while regardless of the outcome of this matter. If you have any news, you can directly tell the sheriff there and let him bring me a message. , Remember, those people are dangerous, and if you do meet them, you'd better detour. "
"Thank you very much, Mr. Law Enforcer, and I wish you a smooth mission." Zhang Heng nodded his thanks.
The vast Gobi rarely encountered the same kind, and the two took a rest together. During the incident, Zhang Heng also asked the marshals some riding tips. Morton was surprised because he saw Zhang Heng's beautiful marksmanship, which even exceeded It is the vast majority of cowboys, but what he didn't expect is that Zhang Heng is like a newcomer who doesn't understand anything on horseback, even though he seems to know some basic things for the first time.
Such a guy also dared to ride a horse to Lincoln County four hundred miles away. Morton really didn't know if he should brag about his courage or die.
