A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 101 Valentine’s Incident
When Arthur and Malloy take Kieran back to Valentine Station.

As soon as the few people got off the car, they had been waiting here anxiously for a long time. Deputy Sheriff Cole immediately came to greet them.

"Haha, Cole, why are you so enthusiastic and still waiting for us here?" Malloy asked with a smile.

I thought Cole was having some trouble today?
But after he listened to Cole's words, Malloy stopped laughing instantly.

"Valentine Bank was robbed?!"

All the money in the bank was looted and the bank manager was beaten to death.

After Arthur listened to what Cole said, his face darkened in an instant. Although the bad premonition in his heart kept warning him, he still had illusions, couldn't he?Isn't this Dutch's plan to rob the Valentine Bank?It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
But this is impossible!As Arthur knew, Dutch and the others should have moved to the new camp long ago, and according to the news Sean told him before, it was said that Dutch had given up on the plan.

Thinking of this, Arthur asked seriously:
"Who did it?"

Cole glanced at the livid Malloy, lowered his head and replied:

"do not know……"

"Fuck! What do you do for food? The bank was robbed right across from the Sheriff's Office. It's okay that you couldn't stop it, but you actually told me that you didn't even see who did it?!" Malloy roared and kicked Cole to the ground.

Looking at Cole who dared not speak on the ground, Malloy seemed to be still angry. The anger he had been suppressing just now was no longer under control. Malloy continued to curse loudly:

"Trash!! Just like you! Sooner or later, the entire Valentine will be buried, and you still tell me that you don't know, I won't be surprised?!"

Arthur on the side immediately became silent after learning that Cole didn't know who did it, but he saw that Malloy looked extremely angry and was about to kick Cole again. After a few feet, Arthur, who was really helpless, finally persuaded:
"Okay, calm down. You'd better go to the scene and have a look first. I will also help you and inquire with the townspeople to see what strangers have come to the town today."

After some persuasion from Arthur, Malloy finally calmed down. He nodded angrily, and then left with Cole who got up from the ground.

When the two walked away, Arthur and Kieran glanced at each other unconsciously.

Kieran said:

"Is it possible that what you are worried about now and what I am worried about are the same thing?"

What was possible was impossible. Although Arthur didn't know what was going on, he felt in his heart that there was an [-]% chance that Dutch and the others did it.

Judging from this straightforward style of committing crimes, other gangs can't do it?
Arthur didn't answer Kieran's question, but asked him to go to his office to see if there was anyone or any news. If there was any news, he would bring it to him immediately. He was going to go around the bank to inquire first.

Kieran nodded and left.

Arthur didn't delay. He went directly to the Smithfield Tavern opposite the bank. It was already dark. The pub was full of guests. When he opened the door, Arthur heard the guests inside talking happily. The bank was robbed.

Apparently this is the hottest topic today in this small town.

"You know? I was in the bank at the time, and I snatched the gun from a gangster... If it weren't for the fact that they held a beautiful lady hostage, I wouldn't have surrendered..."

"Fart, stop bragging, it's just our town? Where are the beautiful ladies?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the bragging man seemed a little unhappy. He continued:
"Okay, okay, there may be a bit of exaggeration in this, but really, I was in the bank at the time, and these gangsters, tsk tsk, were really cruel! They would kill people if they didn't like what they wanted..."

Arthur came to the table and sat down. Looking at the unfriendly eyes of several people, he said:

"I'll take it this round, and the next round will be mine too."

After saying this, friendly smiles appeared on several people's faces. One of them smiled and asked:

"Dude, what's your name?"

"Arthur, Arthur Callahan." "Hey, Arthur, are you also interested in bank robberies?"

"Yes, who doesn't like to hear about vicious gangsters?" Arthur said with a smile, and then asked the bartender to serve another round of drinks to the table.

"Then you have found the right person. My brother survived the catastrophe today. Aren't we here to celebrate him? If you want to know, just ask him. He will get absolute first-hand information."

Arthur wasn't in a hurry either. After calling the second round of drinks, he asked:
"Brother, tell me what the robbers look like."

The bragging brother was almost drunk at this time, put his arm around Arthur's shoulders and said:

"What do they look like? They all look different. I remember the first robber who came in. He was wearing a red and black suit..."

As soon as he heard this description, Arthur stood up and left here quickly.

Behind them, these people were still shouting, "Brother, don't leave."

……

Arthur soon found Malloy inside the bank and asked:
"Have any idea?"

Malloy nodded and said:

"The idle guy sitting at the door of the law firm next door saw a group of people..."

"I also went to the tavern opposite to inquire. I think it's the O'Drisco Gang. What do you think?" Arthur stood behind Malloy and tried to say. After hearing this, Malloy did not look back.

"..."

Alas, Arthur just gave it a try and didn't have any expectations.

"Well, first of all, let me declare that I really don't know about this matter, and I have no involvement in it."

It wasn't until he heard what Arthur said that Malloy finally turned around. He stared at Arthur, pointed at the body with his head smashed on the ground and said angrily:

"Do you know how long I've known him?"

"20 years!"

"How long have I known you, Arthur?"

Maybe, maybe, less than half a year.

Arthur understood what Malloy meant, but what could he do?Arthur had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:

"Look, I will come forward to give his family a compensation, and if necessary, I will even take on the education of two children..."

Before Arthur could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Fuck! Arthur, you know? He is a good man! A good man who is honest and dedicated to his work. He worked hard all his life to get such a seemingly decent job. Do you know how hard he works? ? He has a wife and two children, and he has never even touched a gun in his life... Open your eyes and take a good look at him. Is this the end he deserves after working hard all his life?" Malloy asked loudly Arthur.

Yes, he is not a good police chief, he colludes with gangsters, he runs camps, he colludes with married women, he is a complete bad person, but Malloy knows that he is still a fucking warrior Sheriff of Lundin.

Malloy looked at the silent Arthur and continued:

"Arthur, you know, my bottom line is very simple and very flexible. Valentine is just a simple town with simple laws. No matter who you are, as long as you do the right thing, then we can all live in peace. But now, I can tell you clearly, Dutch van der Linde, he has crossed a line."
