Chapter 84, Chapter 83, Coins, Crutches, Evidence

83,

"You want to kill the mayor?"

Maz Johns, the banker of Heishui Town, is the acting mayor of Heishui Town who followed Hei Erqing and the others to sneak around and survived the bar robbery.

"Can't you?" A smile floated on Dai Pingan's face again, as if the viciousness that just appeared was just an illusion:
"The mayor, the deputy mayor, and Sheriff Hickson, although I didn't kill the first two, they are all dead. The only important person in Blackwater Town is Maz Johns, and yesterday, La Luo was still able to receive orders from Heishui Town in the Thieves’ Territory, are you surprised? Are you surprised?”

Sheriff Dunbar said nothing.

"I know you are grateful to him in your heart. It is he who let you return to the position of sheriff. Hehe, you are thinking too much, sheriff. He just let you stand up for a while for his own safety and no one else to choose. If I remember correctly, there were quite a lot of policemen under you two days ago, why in Heishui Town today, I only saw a dozen people, where are the other policemen?"

"They were transferred yesterday morning, together with all the Pinkerton detectives. They said..." Sheriff Dunbar hesitated: "You were found in the high tree area."

"My trace? Haha, what a trace of me." Dai Pingan smiled, couldn't help but took out a coin, and rubbed it vigorously in his hand:

"The results of it?"

"I don't know, there is no news yet."

Dai Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.

Dai Ping'an had doubts about some things from the moment Detective Pinkerton was not found on the Great Plains yesterday.He went to the Thieves' Territory first, and returned to Heishui Town today, just to dispel his suspicions.

It's a pity that things backfired, but fortunately, there is still no news from Heishui Town.

Sometimes no news is the best news.

"Since they've been transferred, I'm afraid these people won't be able to transfer back. Think about it, even I know about your deal with the Thieves' Territory, and your mayor should know about it too. You Do you think he might let you hang me on the gallows? Or will Mayor Maz allow you to assert yourself?"

Dai Pingan tapped the table lightly with the coin, the movement was very small, but each hit entered Sergeant Dunbar's heart.

"I know, you are a good policeman. Really, many people have told me so. Your whole life can almost be described by the four words 'following public affairs and obeying the law', but is it useful? Punish evil and promote good, uphold justice, think To really do that, you need a chance."

"I can help you seize this opportunity."

"Three people have already died. As long as Maz Johns dies again, you will be the only leader of Heishui Town right now, and you must be the acting mayor."

"It can't be that simple."

Sheriff Dunbar finally looked up.

"It's really impossible to kill Maz Johns. What if you destroy the Thieves' Territory in order to avenge the mayor of Blackwater Town?"

Sergeant Dunbar was taken aback for a moment, and finally there was a trace of emotion on his old and hard face.

Decades of grievances can disappear with the death of Ralo Salamanca.

In the past few decades, people in the Thieves' Territory have smuggled goods and sold bootleg alcohol, not to mention the number of thieves, liars, and robbers recruited by the Salamanca family.In the dark and narrow alleys and corners of Blackwater Town, theft, fraud and murder are happening every day, 80.00% of which are related to Thieves' Land.

Sergeant Dunbar didn't just sit idly by, he arrested him, and after decades of arresting, he became a police officer after arresting the thief.Thieves' territory is not only a cancer in Heishui Town, but also an obsession in Sheriff Dunbar's heart for decades.

"Why did the thieves' territory entrenched for decades? It's not that you didn't do well, the sheriff. It's because someone from the upper echelons of Blackwater Town allowed them to exist. The others are already dead. If Maz Johns is gone, it won't happen." No one will stop you from eradicating the thief's territory."

Dai Pingan rubbed the coin, got up and walked to Sergeant Dunbar's side.

"Sergeant Dunbar, you can't change the world, but at least you can change Blackwater Town." Dai Pingan slowly said in Sergeant Dunbar's ear, his voice seemed to come from hell:
"As long as you agree to this transaction, from now on you can realize the justice in your heart, punish the evil and promote the good, uphold justice, and make Heishui Town less chaotic and more peaceful. Isn't it good?"

A coin was bounced up, and after drawing a silver track in the air, it was firmly held in the hand of Sergeant Dunbar.

An hour later, several fast horses rushed out of Heishui Town and galloped eastward towards the Gaoshu area.

Another hour later, Mr. Maz Johns, the banker and current acting mayor of Heishui Town, rushed into the Heishui Town Police Station with anger.

"Sheriff Dunbar, without my permission, who gave you the right to call back the Pinkerton detectives and police who were searching for Dai Ping'an in the Gaoshu area."

Mayor Maz was really in a hurry.In front of all the police officers in the police station, he began to reprimand him as soon as he entered the door, regardless of the face of Sheriff Dunbar and the majesty of the position of sheriff:
"Tell them to put down everything in their hands and return immediately! Do you know how much your actions will affect their search work? If Dai Pingan escapes from the Gaoshu area, can you take this responsibility?"

The stormy accusations made Sergeant Dunbar unable to open his mouth for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.After the embarrassment passed, Sergeant Dunbar stood up from his seat while supporting the table as if he had made up his mind.

"Please listen to my explanation. I called back all the people because I suspect that Dai Ping'an and others have returned to Heishui Town. I think..."

"Do you suspect? Do you think? The police station is about evidence, not what you say."

"I have evidence."

Sheriff Dunbar supported his waist, bent down and took out a long strip from under the desk.Opening the wrapped newspaper, an exquisite and luxurious crutch appeared in front of everyone. Mayor Maz:

"This is the crutch of Lalo Salamanca, the leader of the thieves' territory, with the symbol of the Salamanca family on it. Lalo never leaves this crutch, but this morning, when I came home, it was by the bar This newspaper-wrapped cane was found in an alley in the

"Also found this."

While speaking, Sergeant Dunbar took out another gold ring with a ruby ​​the size of a mung bean inlaid on it:

"According to the testimony of the hostages in the bar, Dai Ping'an once wore a ruby ​​ring on his hand, which is very similar to this ring. The mayor, please take a look."

Sheriff Dunbar handed the ring to Mayor Maz, and Maz just glanced at it briefly, then picked up the crutch again and looked at it carefully.Perhaps because he realized that he was a little anxious just now, Mayor Maz's face was very ugly.

"I suspect that Dai Ping'an and others sneaked back to Heishui Town again, and they also colluded with the people in the Thieves' Territory. This is a great threat to our Heishui Town. That's why I was in a hurry to send us back to Heishui Town." I want to report to you before that, but you are not in the bank's office, so I will make my own decisions first."

"So it is."

Seeing Sergeant Dunbar's red eyes from being on duty for the past two days, Mayor Maz finally squeezed out a little smile on his gloomy face:

"In the future, if you have something to do, you can go to the mayor's office to find me. It is impossible for people from the Thieves' Territory to appear here. As for Dai Ping'an..."

A pale and crazy face once again surfaced in Mayor Maz's mind.Just as he was thinking about what to say next, there was a sudden gunshot outside.

"Bah!" "Bah!" "Bah!"

While the bullets were flying, there were two more holes in the signboard of the clothing store; the butcher held a bone-chopping steel knife to block the front of his head, and retracted under the chopping board; into a ball.

Sergeant Dunbar drew his pistol and rushed out of the police station first. Mayor Maz ran out after hiding behind several policemen.

The panicked crowd ran past them, and behind the crowd, a man turned his back to them, waving a revolver while chanting non-stop towards a telephone pole next to the police station.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two more shots.

Everyone bent down subconsciously, but no one fired back, because the two shots were fired at the sky indiscriminately, and the bullets flew to nowhere.After the gun passed, the man turned around, and everyone finally saw his face clearly.

His two eyes stared straight ahead, his frantic expression on his face was both frightened and excited, his mouth was half a smile, with a stick of white foam hanging down his mouth.

priest?

Ever since he was rescued by hanging himself, the priest didn't talk much, and he didn't go out when he got into the church.Because of the spread of certain rumors, everyone didn't care too much about it, but today I don't know what stimulated them, and suddenly they started waving a pistol on the street and went crazy.

"Father?"

Sheriff Dunbar asked tentatively.

"Bah!"

The bullets splashed a cloud of dust around Sergeant Dunbar's feet, causing everyone to jump back two steps in fright.

"Go to hell, Samael! I command you in the name of God!"

"Kakkaka..."

The bullet in the gun has been emptied, but the priest is still desperately pulling the trigger.The Dunbar policeman wiped the cold sweat from his brow, took a step forward, and slapped him with a slap.

"Crack!", and the slap was loud.

Face down, the priest fell heavily on the ground, and it took him a long time to struggle to turn over.At this time, the crowd also gathered around, and before they could say anything, the priest dropped the pistol, grabbed Mayor Maz's arm, and dragged him to him.

"The devil! The devil! The devil is back!"

The priest yelled crazily. Mayor Maz wanted to get rid of it but couldn't.Sergeant Dunbar raised his arm to try again, but was accidentally pushed to the ground.

"I'm not crazy! I did see it, the devil's back, really, for God's sake, believe me!"

The priest wiped the saliva from his mouth, and held on to Mayor Maz with both hands: "Just now, in Heishui Town, I saw the traces of the devil with my own eyes."

Mayor Maz pulled his arm back desperately, Sergeant Dunbar stood up again, and others rushed forward to help.Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, the red-eyed priest finally chose to communicate with normal people's language:
"The devil! That devil Dai Ping'an! He's back again!"
