America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 48 Torture
Irishman Murphy, male, 36 years old, occupation: hard labor and hooligan.

His grandparents had a low status in England for generations, suffered from poverty and hunger, so when it came to his father's generation, he gritted his teeth and sold all his family property, and traveled across the ocean to America.

In the United States, their family was still very poor, and old Murphy made a living by doing hard labor in New York, so he gritted his teeth again and joined the ranks of the Westward Movement.

At that time, a gold mine was discovered in Denver, so they settled down in Denver.

Unlike other lucky ones, old Murphy did not find much gold, but died in the mountains. His son, due to lack of good education since he was a child, became a well-known hooligan on Denver's Irish Street.

However, in the aspect of gangsters, little Murphy showed his unique talent, and soon became the leader.

At this moment, he is gathering a group of subordinates in the backyard of the metallurgical plant.

"Tomorrow, when the congressman is giving a speech, all you have to do is follow along. Then, at noon, remember, at noon, just like last year, we rushed into Chinatown together, and taught me a lesson for those yellow-skinned men who dared to come back. Whatever comes, it belongs to you."

The hooligans who had tasted the sweetness nodded one after another. In the incident last year, they thought they would go in and squat for a while, but in the end, the group of Chinese were arrested and locked up for three days.In the name of protecting their safety.

After Murphy gave his orders, he put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and walked out of the metallurgical plant.

All of this is familiar to him, and the most important thing is that he will have money again.

He glanced at the sky, his concubine probably hasn't started picking up customers yet, and he wants to let her have a good time later.

According to the previous agreement, he crossed two streets and returned to the block where he lived.

In the shadows at the corner, he saw the man with the cupola, who saw him and turned straight into the alley.

After looking around for no acquaintances, he also lowered his head and quickened his pace to follow.

The man took him to a secluded place, he took out a bag from his clothes and threw it to Murphy.

"Is it all arranged?" the man asked, taking off his hat and scratching his hair. This man was the Pinkerton detective Daniel the hook-nosed Lynch met in the office.

"Everything is OK." Murphy opened the mouth of the paper bag, looked inside, licked his lips and put his hand in.After touching it, he laughed.

Daniel looked at him with a look of disgust, and felt that it was not decent for him to deal with such a person every day.

But then, he found a gun pinned to his waist, and Murphy's smile turned into panic, because his waist was also pinned by the gun.

"Crack, crack..." A man in a cowboy hat came out of the alley, clapping his hands.His face was hidden under the shadow of the brim of his hat, but his voice revealed a slight chill.

"Doing a good deal."

Daniel's mind was running fast, and he immediately said:

"It's next to the block, and if you shoot, you guys... um, um."

Before he finished speaking, a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth, a linen bag was put on his head, and he and Murphy were quickly tied up like piglets.

Asuka and Xiao En brought in two wooden boxes and stuffed them inside. Murphy was still struggling, but Chen Jianqiu stepped on it.

After stepping on it twice in a row, there was no movement in the box.

Xiao En walked to the entrance of the alley and signaled Niu San and a few people who followed to lift the box onto the cart.

"Go to the abandoned warehouse in the suburbs." Chen Jianqiu whispered to Niu San, and Xiao En and the others got into the alley again, turned a few turns, and ran out from the other end of the alley, avoiding the crowd.

This warehouse was discovered by Chen Jianqiu and the others when they returned from the University of Denver yesterday. It was not far from the railway, and it was abandoned for unknown reasons.It was empty inside, save for mottled walls and a rusted roof.

After a while, Niu San and their cart also arrived.

"Uncle Niu, go back to the village after you move your things into the warehouse. You must be careful when I inform you about the next thing." Chen Jianqiu warned.

Xiao En and Asuka pulled out a vise and a wrench from the cart, and moved the box into the warehouse with Niu San and the others.

Niu San took He Hongsheng and the others away on a cart.

Chen Jianqiu dragged the Irishman out of the box and tied him to a pillar in the warehouse.Daniel, on the other hand, was tied to another post, opposite the Irishman.

He tore the linen bag off Daniel's head.

Daniel showed the quality of a Pinkerton detective at this time. He didn't struggle, but just looked at the three people in front of him calmly.

"Is it you who have been following us?" Sean asked, taking out the cloth stuffed in his mouth.

But his answer was silence.

"If my colleagues can't find me, they will call the police soon, and they will find this place soon, not to mention that the mounted police are still in Denver."

Daniel said calmly.

"Did you also do what happened last year?" Sean knew what his boss wanted to ask.

Daniel still didn't answer.

Asuka picked up the vise on the ground, and was about to give the man in front of him some ruthlessness, but Daniel glanced at it and smiled contemptuously: "I use this thing more smoothly than you. Extorting confessions is a compulsory course for us."

Chen Jianqiu didn't speak until now, and he just looked at Daniel quietly.

Suddenly he drew his dagger and stabbed the Irishman next to him in the heart.

Accurate and ruthless.

The Irishman's mouth was gagged, and he didn't even make a sound, but his body was writhing crazily, and blood flowed from the wound on his chest, all over the place.

Chen Jianqiu tore off the linen bag on his head, and the Irishman's dying expression was terrified.

Then he slammed himself in front of Daniel, pulled his hair and asked sharply: "Is it you?! Tell me! Is it you?!"

"It's not me! It's not me! It's not me who's following you!" Daniel was frightened out of his wits, and his composure just now was replaced by fear.

Kill as soon as you say, the Irishman died without saying a word, and I am afraid it will be his turn next.This man is really a murderous demon.

"Did you instigate what happened last year?! Did you?!"

"It's not me, it's not me. It's the Irish who organized and killed people, and Edwin who instructed them."

"Who is Edwin? Say!"

"It's a congressman from Denver. I'm just helping him find people and collect money to do things!" Daniel began to tremble all over, because he had already seen Chen Jianqiu's bloody dagger stretched towards his neck.

"Where does he live?" Chen Jianqiu looked directly into Daniel's eyes, as if there was a knife in his eyes that could kill someone.

"The big white house at 32 Tennyson Street in the west of the city."

Chen Jianqiu took the dagger from his neck and wiped the blood on his suit.

The man regained his calmness, a kind of calmness that was a bit chilling.

"You watch him here until tomorrow morning, early in the morning, and wait for me in the west of the city with the body of the Irishman."

"What about this person?"

"Tie it here." Chen Jianqiu patted Daniel's pale face with a dagger, "If your colleagues are lucky enough to find you, give me a message, it's best to keep a distance from us, don't act rashly, this time, next time, It’s about to go overboard.”

After finishing speaking, Chen Jianqiu reincarnated and walked towards the bright warehouse door, submerged in the bright sunshine.
