America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 142 Duel ([-])

Van Cleef came to the door of the hotel alone without taking anyone with him or wearing a police uniform.

Since it's a private visit, it can't startle the snake.

He has enough confidence in his authority in Santa Fe City.Although in front of Scott, he looks like a dog, but outside the senator's office, he is a well-known expert in solving crimes!The backbone of the Santa Fe Police Department.

The gangsters of the Mexican gang heard the news and started hiding, and the two bounty hunters couldn't do anything to themselves,
As for the potential murderer, as long as he dared to shoot, he would not be able to escape from the city of Santa Fe.

"boss!"

Van Cleef tied up his horse and strode into the hotel gate. He stood with his hips akimbo in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

"Eh? Sheriff Van Cleef? Why are you here when you have time?" The boss came out from behind the bar and trotted to the side of the sheriff.

Van Cleef didn't speak, he looked around at the guests in the hall on the first floor.

"I really want to thank you. There have been fewer damned Mexican hooligans on the road in the past two days." The boss didn't know what the sheriff was going to do, so he was a little nervous, so he could only say some flattering words to himself.

"Where are the two bounty hunters? There is one with an upturned beard." The sheriff asked the boss after confirming that there was no target he was looking for on the first floor.

The boss just wanted to answer.A voice came from the direction of the stairs.

"Van Cleef!"

The sheriff looked in the direction of the voice, Hanif and his henchman Donny were coming down from the second floor.

Behind them, followed by Chen Jianqiu, Camilla, and Astor.

Well, all the people he was looking for were found at once.

Van Cleef walked over.

His eyes skipped over the bounty hunters in the front row, and looked directly at Chen Jianqiu:
"Sir, is it convenient for you to come out alone? I have something to ask you."

Chen Jianqiu didn't answer him, he patted the angry Hanif in front of him, and said to him softly: "Restraint, restraint."

Chen Jianqiu bypassed Hanif and walked down the stairs step by step, with Camilla following behind him.

He walked right past Van Cleef, ignoring the Santa Fe sheriff.

Van Cleef, who was ignored, was very angry. He reached out to grab the man's arm, but he didn't see how Chen Jianqiu changed his walking posture, he just turned his body slightly.

He took an empty hand.

"Stop! Or I will arrest you!" Van Cleef said as he tried to draw the gun at his waist.

But Hanif's roar came: "Van Cleef! I will fight you, and I will never forget the insult you gave me!"

All the guests on the first floor turned their heads in unison when they heard the "duel".

The sheriff turned his head and glanced at Hanif who was furious like a bull: "Excuse me, sir, what did you just say?"

"I said, I want to fight with you!"

Hanif's voice was amplified several times in decibels, as if a loudspeaker had been installed, and it was transmitted out of the hotel, and everyone on the street outside the door could hear it.

"Fuck! There's a duel!"

"Who and who?"

"It seems to be in the hotel. Sheriff Van Cleef walked in just now."

"Go and tell my wife, there is a good show to watch, let them come over quickly!"

……

"Did you hear that? This Wyoming bumpkin wants to challenge me!" Van Cleef spread his hands to the people around him and laughed.

Some people present also laughed wildly.

Sergeant Van Cleef is not only known for his sharpness in handling cases, but also for his marksmanship. When he was not promoted to sheriff, he once won four duels with several Mexicans in a row and killed his family.

"Come on! You bastard! I'm going to kill you." Hanif didn't hesitate, his gun was fast, and he had never lost a duel before.

He must vent his anger at being beaten up by Van Cleef all night.

In the west, dueling has always been illegal, but judges tend to favor the victor who has set a life and death certificate.

As long as they don't draw their guns first for a blatant foul, most of them will be released in "justifiable self-defense".

People in the west always admire the brave. Who can tell what happened at that moment.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla also stopped and stood by the door of the hotel.

Van Cleef and Hanif walked out of the hotel gate one after the other and came to the street.

When passing by Chen Jianqiu, Van Cleef gave him a vicious look and pointed at him: "Don't run, I'll settle the score with you later."

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

At this time, the hotel was already crowded with people. People put down their work and came to watch, but their bosses did not criticize them because they were among the crowd.

There is too little entertainment in the west, and people's greatest pleasure is watching hangings and duels. The commonality between the two is that dead people are irregular.

What's more, one of the two sides in the duel is the famous Sheriff Van Cleef of Santa Fe.

A fat man has already opened the market, betting on the winners and losers of both sides.

The strength of the sheriff is definitely beyond doubt, and his record is well known; but that Wyoming bounty hunter also looks quite powerful, at least judging by his beard, he is not a character to be trifled with.

People cleared a lot of space for the two of them
Van Cleef and Hanif were separated on both sides of the street, with a distance of about ten meters between them.

Astor and the hotel manager stood at the door of the hotel as witnesses.

"Two, after I count to three, you can shoot at any time. Mr. Astor and I are here to witness..."

The store manager was still babbling through the process, but the communication between the dueling duo never stopped.

"CNM, bitch!"

"Lick me xx, trash!"

……

There is no chill and gentleman in later generations of movies. Before shooting, the two continued to greet each other and each other's family members with swear words.

"1!"

The din of the crowd of onlookers has stopped, and everyone's eyes are wide open, staring at the hands of both sides, for fear that they may miss something.

"2!"

Chen Jianqiu leaned against the door, quietly watching the two people in the arena; Camilla stood beside him.

"3!"

"Bang! Bang!"

As soon as the store manager finished speaking, two gunshots rang out at the scene, and the two gunmen pulled out their pistols almost at the same time, and fired them almost at the same time.

Van Cleef's hat flew to the back, he touched his head subconsciously, and after finding no wound, he burst out laughing.

Hanif was a little less lucky, the bullet knocked off the sheriff's hat, and he himself was shot in the shoulder blade and fell to the ground.

"Donny, let's go and see your master's injury, Master Astor, please find someone to treat him." Chen Jianqiu called to Donny, walked to Hanif's side, knelt down and began to examine his wound.

"Damn it, I haven't practiced for a long time, my hands are raw, uh..." Hanif gritted his teeth and said with force.

Van Cleef raised his hands, enjoying the cheers of the crowd.

He won again!

Although the gun on the opposite side is not very slow, it is obviously not as good as him.

At this moment, the depression of this period of time disappeared, what kind of senator, what kind of shit case, he is the king of Santa Fe!
Chen Jianqiu stood up, just about to tell Downey to find a way to send Hanif to Astor's carriage as soon as possible.

Before he could speak, Van Cleef on the opposite side was already pointing at him.

"Chinese! Come, fight me! You just ignored me and insulted me. I want to win back my dignity."

He was sure that this man must have had something to do with McCall's murder, if he had, or if he hadn't.

If ten minutes ago he was still worrying about how to kill this person, Hanif provided him with an idea.

duel!

I will not lose.

This time, he would shoot the Chinese in the head and tell Scott that the real murderer was dead.

Chen Jianqiu turned around and responded lightly:
"it is good."
