America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 140 With me here, how can I let you die
Four heavily armed JCs stood near the hitching post, three of them kept fixed positions, and the remaining one was patrolling back and forth.

Although Van Cleef has a rough style of solving crimes, he has a lot of experience, and he left a team at the door.

The revolver in Chen Jianqiu's clothes was only fired once, and there were still four bullets in it. He did not fire the shot that hit the chandelier.

The most important thing is that as soon as the gun is fired here, Van Cleef from the other side of the room will rush over immediately.

At that time, even if they can succeed, they will have to stage a scene of "Escape from Santa Fe".

Although he and Camilla are very skilled, they didn't order "absolute defense" and "100% dodge". What's more, they will face the full siege of the local police in Santa Fe.

"My 'Burren Hill' is chained to the back of the barber shop, not far from here," Karami said.

Brenhill was the name of her white horse, and this was her original plan for evacuation.

Just when they were about to leave.

Suddenly footsteps came from the direction of the back door, and three JCs in uniforms appeared at the back door.

Chen Jianqiu put his arms around Camilla's waist and pinned her against the courtyard wall, and the woman reacted quickly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

The two kissed together.

When the three JCs saw someone, their first reaction was to pull out the guns around their waists, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they were a little embarrassed, wondering if they had smashed something they shouldn't have.

The one in the lead signaled the other two to put away their guns. He stepped forward and patted Chen Jianqiu on the shoulder.

"What's the matter?" Chen Jianqiu turned his head, very angry, half true, half false.

"May I ask if you saw any suspicious people passing by?" JC asked.

"No!" Chen Jianqiu replied rudely.

"Two of our police officers are missing, have you seen them?"

Chen Jianqiu let go of Camilla in his arms, straightened his clothes, and said to the police impatiently: "We came out very early, and we didn't see the suspicious person you mentioned, nor did we see any police."

The leader turned around and discussed countermeasures with the two policemen.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla glanced at each other, they were both ready.

If these three people asked them to go back and interrogate the people present, his words just now would be revealed sooner or later.

They decided to give it a go.

If it doesn't work, just shoot.

Just as they were about to do something, another policeman ran out from the back door panting:
"Go back quickly, the murderer has been caught, we need support inside!"

After hearing the news, the three JCs left the stunned Chen Jianqiu and Camilla behind, turned around and ran into the house.

"What do you think is the situation?" Camilla asked Chen Jianqiu beside her.

"No matter, get out of here first."

The guards near the hitching post withdrew, and the gate of the hall began to let go, and the guests attending the reception walked out of the gate one after another.

Chen Jianqiu calmly untied the black radish rope, pulled Camilla onto the horse with one hand, and the two left the scene on the same horse.

The next day, the headlines in Santa Fe newspapers carried the news of McCall's assassination.

The Santa Fe police quickly solved the case and caught the murderer on the spot. The man was McCall's bodyguard and was inextricably linked to the largest local Mexican gang in Santa Fe.

The Santa Fe police chief said that he felt very sorry for such a thing to happen, and the city government will definitely do its best to find out the murderer behind the scenes and wipe out the criminal gangs to protect the safety of citizens.

Senator Scott's office.

"This is ridiculous." The lawyer threw the newspaper on Scott's desk, "All the evidence does not support that bodyguard is the murderer, the bullet pierced McCall's head from bottom to top, but the bodyguard at that time Stand right behind McCall!"

"I can't do it." The lawyer shook his head and sat down on the chair opposite Scott.

"That's not important." Scott looked at the lawyer, and he pointed to Van Cleef standing aside: "He will help you, just like we usually do."

VanCleef narrowed his eyes and looked at the lawyer.

"No, this is stupid, why kill McCall? We can have other ways." The lawyer was going crazy.

Of course, Scott would not tell him about McCall's eating inside and out and the two ends of the snake mouse. He can tolerate incompetence for a while, but he cannot forgive a betrayal.

"Listen to me, the mayor needs the votes of white people from the east and those Mexican civilians, which is very important!" Scott said, "Also, the night in Santa Fe should really be reorganized , this is the only and fastest way for us to regain their trust now!"

The lawyer fell silent, hearing the threat in Scott's tone.

He exits the office.

Only Scott and Van Cleef were left in the room.

Van Cleef was a little nervous, and he secretly glanced at Scott.

"Can you explain to me why the person who actually killed McCall was not the bodyguard you bought?"

Scott stared at Van Cleef, his voice was cold, "Or can you explain to me why every time the job assigned to you goes wrong?"

"We made a lot of plans, and the people who went in were not armed." Van Cleef stammered, sweating profusely, "Actually, give me a little more time, and I'll be able to catch the person who made the shot. "

"The murderer can only be the bodyguard! Do you understand? The most powerful people in Santa Fe are watching! The scene! Do you understand the meaning of the scene? I want those Mexican gangsters to die! Do you understand?" The old man's anger broke out .

Van Cleef nodded submissively, in stark contrast to his high spirits last night.

"Check it out for me in private, find the person who made the shot, and kill him." Scott lowered his voice, "Go out."

VanCleef slowly exited the room, carefully closing the door behind him.

Scott leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. He now felt more and more embarrassing for these people under him.

If the young man I saw yesterday was willing to work for him, these situations would definitely not have happened.

……

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla rode their horses through the streets of Santa Fe. The black radish kept courting Brenhill, but the white horse didn't intend to pay attention to him, and walked steadily forward.

The black radish didn't feel frustrated at all, and got closer, the two horses were almost touching each other.

It is strange that its owner did not stop its spontaneous behavior.

Because his master was also thinking about something.

"Why don't you ask me about the commission? It's not like your style." Camilla asked suddenly.

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

"It seems you don't know me." He adjusted his hat, "but I know you."

"You didn't kill that businessman for money. I asked Hanif about your experience. He might be a killer for money, but you won't."

"The people you kill are all the people you think are worth killing. The commission and difficulty of some targets are not equal, including me before."

"I don't know if you gave up chasing me because you learned more about me."

"The assassination last night, if I didn't know what happened inside later, I would have narrowly escaped death."

"Leaving aside whether it's right for you to judge a person based on your likes and dislikes, I don't believe that you became an assassin for money." Chen Jianqiu said firmly.

"So you still shot?"

"Yeah, I believe in you, I am here, how can I let a woman like you die."

Chen Jianqiu looked at Camilla with a smile, as bright as the sun.

Camilla suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Since her parents passed away, it was the first time in this world that someone understood her.
