A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 208

When MacLeody returned home, he became more and more angry. His wife looked at him and asked worriedly:

"Angus, what's wrong? Did the hearing not go well?"

MacLeody leaned over and sat on the chair, looking forward, but his eyes were not focused. Listening to his wife's concerned inquiry, he was quiet for a while before finally speaking, and he said irritably:

"Just leave it alone and go call that brat over to me."

The brat McLeody refers to is his young adult son.

Although Mrs. Macleody's face was full of worry, she still didn't ask any more questions, but obediently went to call their son over.

"Father? Are you looking for me?"

At previous hearings, McLeody had not asked his son to tag along.

MacLeody looked at his son who looked exactly like him in front of him. He understood that this matter must and could only be done by the father and son themselves, so he said seriously:

"Do you remember when you were grazing before, there was a hill full of poisonous torches and wolf tongue grass?"

"remember."

MacLeody nodded and said simply:

"Very well, bring your tools and let's go."

……

On the night after the hearing, Mr. Chadwick, who was in a happy mood, had the rare opportunity of opening a bottle of red wine with his wife.

It has to be said that at the hearing, although Mr. Chadwick felt that his performance was not very good, the Association was still on his side after all, and Mr. Callahan really helped him make a good presentation. Got this bad breath.

As the wine in the bottle slowly bottomed out.

Chadwick drank the last sip of red wine in the glass and said happily:

"Haha, I have a hunch that our lives will get better and better."

Looking at her husband who had drunk too much, Mrs. Chadwick just shook her head, and then, while perfunctory with him, she helped him up from the chair and sent him back to the bedroom.

After leaving Chadwick on the bed.

Mrs. Chadwick looked at her husband who fell asleep as soon as he got into bed, frowned, and whispered:

"Tch, it's useless. I don't know why I'm so unlucky to end up with a man like you. What's the planned activity in the middle of the night?"

Unfortunately, Mr. Chadwick had already fallen into a deep sleep, and he probably didn't hear a word of Mrs. Chadwick's nagging and scolding behind her.

The sky breaks out and the rooster crows once.

Chadwick slept until daylight, then slowly climbed out of bed as the second round of roosters crowed in the chicken coop.

Although this is already the second round of rooster crow, it is still very early.

It can only be said that no rancher living at this time is lazy. Although he drank too much last night, Chadwick still had a slight headache, quickly got dressed, and then prepared to complete the work before breakfast. .

Outside, the ranch hands woke up earlier than Chadwick.Early in the morning, the workers discovered that something was not right with the cattle in the pasture, but they did not pay much attention until the cow that had just given birth fell to the ground and could not get up for a long time. , the workers rushed forward anxiously to check.

Then another cow fell, and then a third... only then did they finally realize something was seriously wrong.

When a worker hurriedly found Chadwick, there were only a few cows left standing on the entire farm.

"what happened?!"

"I don't know... We got up this morning and were working normally, feeding, adding food, and nothing else happened. Suddenly a cow fell..."

Chadwick looked at the fallen cows. His expression was very solemn. He had no time to ask any more questions. He immediately came to the calf that had just been delivered.

Because the calf is weak, unlike the big bull, it has already expired.

Chadwick directly cut open the calf's belly with a dagger, severing the stomach pouch. As the air inside was released, he directly reached out and took out the residue that had not had time to be digested...

……

"You said someone poisoned your farm?" Malloy asked seriously.

Chadwick stood in front of his desk with a serious expression. He wanted to find Arthur, but learned that Arthur was not in town, so he came to the Sheriff's Office.

After Malloy learned about the situation in detail, his expression became solemn. This was not just a small loss, but if he remembered correctly, Chadwick only got it from Arthur. The beef contract has already been signed.

Although Malloy already had some suspicions about the prisoner at this time, he still asked cautiously:
"Do you have any doubts?"

Chadwick pulled up the corners of his angry mouth and smiled, a smile that was full of mockery.

Looking at this smile, Malloy felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so he coughed and changed his words:
"McClaudy is indeed the biggest suspect, but do you have any evidence?"

Chadwick nodded and said:
"Sheriff, you may need evidence, but I don't. I found undigested poison wings and dog tongue grass in the cow's belly. I can tell you for sure that there is absolutely no such thing in my pasture. , if there is any? It can’t be in such a large amount. Almost all my cattle are dead and I can’t even save them.”

To be honest, Malloy has known Chadwick for a long time, but today he looked so calm. This was the first time Malloy saw him. He already felt something was wrong in his heart, so he spoke to persuade him. :
"Adam...Listen to me, no matter what you want to do now, I hope you can calm down and think about it? Think about your wife..."

Listening to Malloy's words, Chadwick shook his head, the expression on his face was calm and scary, and said:

"Do you think it was a cow that died?...Okay, Sheriff, since you can't help with this matter, it's best for you to just pretend you don't know. I will handle the rest myself. ."

"Adam!" Malloy yelled, but Chadwick had already turned around and left the Sheriff's Office without looking back. Malloy wanted to chase him out, but then he thought, he probably couldn't stop him. Live, so he said to Deputy Sheriff Cole on the side:
"You take the people with you right away and go get that damn bastard MacLeody back now."

Cole was here just now, so he heard the whole thing completely. At this time, facing the Sheriff's order, he scratched his head and said:
"Chief, is there any crime we can arrest him for?"

Malloy stamped his feet angrily, pointed at Cole and cursed:

"Are you stupid? We are doing this for their own good. I know this guy Chadwick. Even though he is usually amiable, but if something really happens, this guy will definitely give someone a good beating." The western class lets people know how ranchers in the west solve their problems."

"Isn't that just right, MacLeody deserves it?"

"Confused, Chadwick may have a reason for doing this, but if he kills someone, then he is also a criminal, do you understand?"

Hearing what Malloy said, Cole nodded, then put on the hat on the table and hurriedly called for help.
