America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 217 Stolen?Isn't that normal?

"boss!"

A roar came from the corridor of the room, piercing the morning silence of the hotel.

Manager Pete ran out of the room angrily and walked quickly towards the hall.

At this time, he has completely abandoned the gentleman image he tried to maintain before, and with his messy clothes and hair, he is no different from a western wanderer.

However, there is no boss at the front desk, only a guy is dozing off on the bar counter.

"Snapped!"

Manager Pete slapped on the bar: "Boss! We were stolen last night."

The guy slowly raised his head and looked at Pete sleepily: "Oh, got it."

Then he buried his head in his arms again and continued to sleep.

"Hey buddy, I lost money at your hotel and it's all over with 'Got it'?" Pete grabbed him by the shoulders, trying to shake him awake.

However, at this moment, the boss's head suddenly protruded from the railing on the second floor.

His face was full of anger, and he shouted at the guy angrily: "Mike! Did you see that bitch Lisa?"

The guy raised his head again and shook his head at the boss.

The boss shrank his head back, and half a minute later, he was wearing a coat and rushed down the stairs with a gun in his hand.

"Damn slut!" The boss hurriedly walked towards the door while loading the gun. When passing by the bar, he didn't even look at the people here.

"The boss's woman was stolen again." The man shrugged, as if he was used to it, "It's not surprising that we lost everything here, even the boss's wife."

Pete was dumbfounded, and the perception of this elite manager of Standard Oil Company was once again refreshed.

He plans to call the police.

He regrets now that he didn't find a separate place to put the large pile of change he found back.

Now, he and his experts didn't have breakfast.

Just as he was about to ask his buddy where the security of the town was, Chen Jianqiu and the others came out from the aisle in the guest room area.

Chen Jianqiu looked at Manager Pete, who was holding on to the clerk's clothes, and laughed aloud: "Hey, do as the Romans do?"

Pete suppressed his anger, he didn't want to be looked down upon by the person in front of him: "We lost our money, we want to call the police."

"Oh, call the police, I know the public security station, I'll take you there." Chen Jianqiu said very "enthusiastically".

Pete thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

After experiencing these things, he has a new mind.

In this unfamiliar place, there are pits everywhere.

Although this young man surnamed Chen is not a good person, but given Mr. Rockefeller's relationship, at least he will not rob himself.

All he can count on now is this person.

The two walked towards the Sheriff's Office in Lincolnshire, one behind the other.

The police station in Lincolnshire was still the same, but at the gate of the police station, Chen Jianqiu did not see Paile who had been sitting there all year round.

Before the last incident, Paile was still strong and strong, but after that incident, those law enforcement officers under him fled and were injured, and there were not many survivors left in the end.

Therefore, this place looks very empty now, no different from other security stations in western small towns.

Chen Jianqiu gently pushed open the wooden door of the security station, only to find Miles sitting inside.

In the previous incident, this brother was the only police officer who followed Paile to the end, and was finally rescued by Chen Jianqiu.

Now he's been promoted to the town's deputy sheriff.

He was concentrating on cleaning his gun.

Since he was educated by Chen Jianqiu last time, he would take apart his firearms for maintenance whenever he was free.

"Where's Paile?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

Miles suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from his ear, and when he looked up, he saw his savior.

He quickly stood up from the chair, walked up to Chen Jianqiu, and gave him a big hug.

"Pile went to investigate some things." Myers said, "Recently, a man named Leonard appeared in Lincolnshire and took back Fred's place, so Pile went to check on him. Details."

"I never imagined that Little Lincolnshire would be so 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'." Chen Jianqiu touched his chin.

Miles looked at Chen Jianqiu, then at Pete behind him: "What's the matter with you this time?"

"Can't I come and see you if it's okay?" Chen Jianqiu smiled and sat on the bench by the door.

He pointed to Pete: "I'm fine, he's fine."

"My money was stolen." Pete said eagerly.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help." Miles said helplessly, pointing to the empty security station, "Pile hasn't added anyone since the incident last time, so this security station is just me and him."

"But I can give you a suggestion. If you can provide enough clues to prove who did it, you can use part of the lost money as a reward. I can help you post a reward order." Myers added.

Pete was silent.

Don't say that he doesn't know who did it, even if he knows, according to his observations in the past two days, the thief may be caught, but the money will definitely not be returned.

Not only that, but the person who uncovered the bounty may have two ends to eat, not only keep the stolen money for himself, but also may turn around and ask him for another bounty.

"Mr. Chen, otherwise, you'd better lend me another thirty dollars." Pete held back for a long time before opening his mouth.

"No problem!" Chen Jianqiu seemed extremely generous.

Ten minutes later, Pete and Chen Jianqiu walked out of the gate of the security station.

Chen Jianqiu had another IOU in his hand, but due to the increase in the amount, the interest rate on the loan was increased by two percentage points.

Pete took the money to the Livestock Market in Lincolnshire.

He wanted to get some horses or a simple carriage to carry the few of them and the supplies they needed.

Then patronize the clothing store and grocery store again, and buy all the leftovers.

He even considered getting himself a gun if the money allowed.

Chen Jianqiu returned to the hotel.

Li Sifu and Abiot went to buy a lot of grain and vegetables, and when they returned, they not only filled up the remaining buckets, but also built another flatbed truck.

Sean cameo as the groom, and his horse temporarily cameo as the packhorse.

Before Roswell solved the irrigation problem and reclaimed the farmland, the food there had to be transported from outside.

They were going to leave after lunch.

After three poles in the sun, Chen Jianqiu was standing at the door of the hotel, cleaning the black radish's mane with a horse brush.

He looked up and found a flatbed truck on the other side of the street.And fat manager Pete, sitting in front of the flatbed truck, is driving the flatbed truck with his clumsy technique.

Chen Jianqiu always felt that there was something wrong with that flatbed truck.

When the carriage arrived in front of him, he finally understood what was wrong.

The ones pulling the flatbed cart were not horses or mules, but two donkeys shaking their heads. At the same time, behind the flatbed cart were two donkeys.

Theoretically speaking, donkeys are pretty good if they are just pulling goods. They eat thicker than horses and have good stamina. Pete is indeed a businessman, and he is careful and careful.

But soon, he realized that he had overestimated him.

These donkeys were sold as ponies to Pete, who knew nothing about livestock, and the price was much higher than that of donkeys.

Chen Jianqiu didn't tell the truth about this injustice. In addition, what he also didn't tell him was that his flatbed truck didn't have too much water.
