America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 267 Beware of Li Shiri

On the other side, on the pier, there is the Chinese Mutual Aid Association.

Huang Qingyun closed the last board covering the wall cabinet.

The wall behind his seat was an empty wall cabinet, and the gun given by Chen Jianqiu was hidden here.

Hanif and Downey also patted the dust off their hands.

"Boss is almost here, right?" Hanif looked outside the dark door.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

There was the sound of horseshoes outside the door, followed by footsteps.

Chen Jianqiu's figure appeared at the door.

Behind him, followed by a middle-aged man.

"Pack up and get ready to go."

Chen Jianqiu walked into the door and waved to Hanif and Downey.

Through the kerosene lamp in the room, Hanif saw the blood on Chen Jianqiu's boots.

"Do it?" He whispered.

"Well, some debt collectors." Chen Jianqiu pointed to Ma Keqin behind him, "Get this gentleman a more comfortable seat in the carriage."

"I can ride a horse." Ma Keqin hastily added his skill points.

"Hanif, give the horse to this gentleman, I'll get you a better one later." Chen Jianqiu said to Hanif.

Afterwards, he ignored Hanif who was still trying to argue, but pulled Huang Qingyun aside.

"Uncle Huang, I leave everything here to you." He lowered his head and whispered to Huang Qingyun.

"Don't worry about this, young master, I have a dual relationship with the Ningyang Guild Hall and the Chinese Labor Mutual Aid Association. Now that I have so many guns, it's no problem." Huang Qingyun patted his chest.

Chen Jianqiu nodded, but then leaned over to Huang Qingyun's ear.

His voice lowered:
"Also, be careful with Li Shiri."

"Your senior brother?" Huang Qingyun turned his head to look at Chen Jianqiu, his face was full of shock.

"Yes." Chen Jianqiu looked calm, "Uncle Huang, how did you know I came to America?"

Huang Qingyun didn't know what Chen Jianqiu's words meant, so he replied truthfully: "Your master asked someone to send me a message."

"Did my senior brother be mentioned in that letter?"

"No."

"Then did you ever receive a message from my master?"

"Uh, no. You mean?" Huang Qingyun's expression changed drastically.

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand:
When Shifang was eating grilled fish, combined with the hallucinations he had had before, he had some guesses.

"I'm just guessing. In short, it's better to be careful. He should be working for foreigners now, right?"

Huang Qingyun agreed.

The two said goodbye.

After Li Shiri left the police station, he found the Pinkerton Detective Agency and told the liaison officer the whereabouts of his junior brother.

As a veteran detective, the liaison quickly realized the value of this information.

However, he still doesn't trust the low-browed Chinese in front of him.

"Why didn't you tell Sergeant Porter directly?" The liaison officer looked at Li Shiri suspiciously.

"Because, I believe you may offer a better price."

Li Shiri pursed his lips and looked at the liaison officer.

The liaison officer nodded in satisfaction: "Go and stabilize him first, and I'll contact my superiors."

After Li Shiri walked out of Pinkerton's San Francisco office, he went straight to Chinatown.

However, he searched all over Chinatown, but did not find any trace of Chen Jianqiu.

Li Shiri was a little anxious, as it was getting dark, he decided to go to Huang Qingyun's place to try his luck.

"Ah? Didn't he say goodbye to you?" Huang Qingyun who opened the door looked blank and shook his head, "I thought he was looking for you."

"Uh, no." Li Shiri's heart sank to the bottom.

Ever since we met again, my junior brother's personality has changed drastically, and his behavior style is hard to figure out.

"Then do you know where he went?" Li Shiri asked again after thinking about it.

"Don't be kidding, he doesn't even know you are his senior brother, how would I know." After Huang Qingyun finished speaking, he closed the door again.

Li Shiri, who was shut outside the door, got ashes on the nose.

He had no intention of speculating on the change in Huang Qingyun's attitude today, who had always been polite to him.

Chen Jianqiu didn't stay here to make trouble for him. What exactly did he want to do?

However, Li Shiri doesn't have time to think about this right now. He has to think about how to explain to that liaison officer in Pinkerton tomorrow.

When Li Shiri had the rejection at Huang Qingyun's place, Chen Jianqiu and the others had already joined up with Li Sifu and Long Xiang's group, and embarked on their way back to Roswell.

Along the way, Chen Jianqiu and Ma Keqin chatted a lot.

"Mr. Chen, do you really don't want to hear about my patents?" Ma Keqin still wanted to understand why Chen Jianqiu took him in.

"Well, let's hear it." Chen Jianqiu only thought that this gentleman was promoting his own patent.

"I invented an automatic fire extinguisher." Maxim said proudly.

"Well, yes, my refinery should be useful." Chen Jianqiu raised his thumb.

"I also improved the gas lamp, which is safer and has higher illumination." Maxim continued.

"Well, this can make our towns and roads brighter at night." Chen Jianqiu raised the thumb of the other hand.

Although Chen Jianqiu's answers were very decent and polite, Ma Keqin could still see that he was not interested.

These are obviously not what the rich Chinese want most.

So he shut his mouth.

The two rode horses, walking along Route 66 in the Arizona desert in silence.

"Mr. Ma Keqin, do you really want to make a fortune?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly said to Ma Keqin.

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Ma Keqin replied without hesitation.

The failure to compete with Edison and the days of debt during this period made him extremely lament the importance of money.

"Then put aside your chemistry and electricity, if you want to make a fortune, invent a weapon that can make it easier for people to kill each other." Chen Jianqiu said.

"Europe, Asia, America, Africa, every corner of the world is now about to be shrouded in dark clouds of war."

Max Qinmao suddenly understood.

A businessman is a businessman,

He finally understood why his inventions over the years were always almost meaningless.

"When we arrive in Roswell, I will take you to visit our shooting range and studio. Of course, our production workshop is also under preparation."

Ma Keqin finally understood that the person in front of him had the greatest identity as an arms dealer.

"I'm not sure if I can make these things." Ma Keqin hesitated, "However, what you said makes sense."

"It can definitely be done, you just need some little help." A mysterious smile appeared on Chen Jianqiu's face.

"By the way, if you are still short of people, I can call my brother Hudson Maxim." Maxim said, "He also owes money."

From the looks of it, this family is a gambler who is constantly in debt and weighs down all his wealth.

"What does your brother do?"

"He's also an inventor, but he got it before me."

"What he's researching is, explosives!"
