A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 96 Cornwall takes action
Charles looked at Cole who was approaching outside the bank door, turned his head and urged loudly into the room.

When Dutch and Javier finally walked out with two large bags of things.

It's too late.

Cole had already reached out and was about to push open the bank door.

Behind the door, Lenny and Charles were hiding on both sides, their guns ready.

Even if they don't want to, they will shoot.

"Hey! Mr. Police Officer, you are here, I am looking for you." Hosea suddenly appeared from the side, and he stopped Cole in time, who was about to push the door in.

If Hosea had arrived any slower, Cole estimated that his life would have been taken.

At this time, several people in the bank also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, no one wants to have a fierce battle at this time.

Cole turned around, looked at Hosea and asked doubtfully:

"Is something wrong?"

At this time, the sky just dropped the rain that had accumulated for a long time.

"Whoa-"

Hosea took advantage of the rain and pulled Cole to the eaves on one side. He said:
"That's right, I'm Arthur's friend...there was something inconvenient, and he told me that he could ask you to help."

Hosea just went to Arthur's office, but he didn't find Arthur. He only found out from Morris that Arthur, Malloy and Kieran went out together.

After failing to find Arthur, the worried Hosea came back again. As expected, the plan almost went wrong again.

Fortunately, he came in time.

At this time, Cole heard Hosea say that he was Arthur's friend, and his attitude became a lot more enthusiastic. He looked at Hosea's expression of being uncomfortable talking here, and without thinking much, he took Hosea back. Sheriff's Office.

It can only be said that the reason why Cole was able to lure Cole away so smoothly was due to Arthur's contribution. During this period, Malloy and Cole, relying on the casino's dividends, recruited many young men to the police station, which was really good. The police force has been expanded.

At the same time, Cole's salary also increased a lot with the increase in the number of managers.

On the other side, Dach and the others also took advantage of Cole being lured away by Hosea at this time, and it was raining heavily outside and there were no good chances for passers-by, so they prepared to run away.

Dach finally threatened everyone in the bank, making them lie on the ground with their heads bowed, and after counting loudly to a hundred, he led the crowd out of the bank, and they took off the veils on their faces , and then pretended to be nonchalant and left Valentine so easily.

Everything seems to be going very smoothly up to this point.

When the customers in the bank finished counting one hundred and fled the bank in panic, Cole, who was still drinking coffee with Hosea in the Sheriff's Office, learned from the person who came to report the crime that the bank was in his Someone was robbed in front of me.

At this moment, Cole couldn't care less about Hosea in front of him, and he quickly led people to the bank.

……

In the bank, when faced with Cole's questioning, the security guard looked embarrassed and evasive, but the teller was not surprised. The worst thing was probably the manager who had his head shot.

He was the only one who died in this robbery.

Cole immediately sealed off the scene, and after arranging for others to question everyone present, he himself also questioned the security personnel and tellers.

"Tell me, what's going on here?"

I don't know why, but Cole felt a little lucky in his heart for a moment. If Arthur's friend hadn't stopped him just now, would his life be in danger if he really walked in?

The teller and security guard shook their heads in response to Cole's questioning, saying they knew nothing. They immediately got down when the robber came in, so they didn't see anything.

Although there is a small person's unique concept here, one more thing is worse than one less thing, but what's more, they really don't know anything. After all, the incident happened suddenly just now. They just wanted to cooperate in order to save their lives, and even the whole process He didn't even glance around.

Cole saw that such a situation happened under his nose. Not only did the bank manager die, but all the money in the bank was also taken away. The worst thing was that he looked like a man in the field. The dummy inside has done nothing. How will he explain it to Malloy then?

This really saddened Cole.

……

On the other side, Dutch and his team, who had just finished robbing the bank, were riding fast in the heavy rain. They were about to return to the Horseshoe Lookout.Everyone was very happy. The robbery went very smoothly. Even the rainstorm came in a timely manner. Because the rain washed away the traces on the ground, they didn't need to worry about anyone chasing them.

"Hey, Dutch, how much money did we get?" Bill asked happily behind Dutch.

Dutch smiled and replied:
"I don't know how many, but there are so many that I can barely fit them into two sacks."

"Hahahahaha." Everyone laughed.

As the group returned to Horseshoe Lookout, the welcome everyone expected did not happen.

And Dutch realized at the first glance that something was wrong with the situation in the camp.

There was a group of people he didn't know in his camp, and they seemed to have taken the people who stayed in the camp hostage.

At the same time, the group of people in the camp also discovered the return of Dutch and others.

"Is that Dutch van der Linde?"

"Dutch! They have the people who stayed in the camp." Charles took the gun from behind and said with a frown.

Dutch ignored Charles' words, and the rain fell from his frown.

"It's me! Gentlemen? Do we have any misunderstanding?" Dutch replied loudly, then got off the horse and took a few steps forward.

Dutch slowly approached the group of people, and the people following him all had their weapons loaded, and they stood firmly behind Dutch.

The two groups were facing each other in the heavy rain, as if they were about to start fighting in the next second.

"Listen up, Van der Linde, we are employees of Mr. Cornwall, and Mr. Cornwall wants to meet and chat with you." A man who seemed to be the squad leader took a step forward from behind the crowd and spoke. said.

Dutch frowned, and after carefully confirming that Susan, Abigail, Pearson and others who were pointed at the gun were all fine, he said loudly:
"I am here now. No matter what Mr. Cornwall wants to talk about, there is no need to be like this. Just saying hello. Can you please let those innocent old people, women and children leave here first?"

The squad leader sneered and said:
"Sorry, I'm afraid this won't work. The innocent old men and women you mentioned killed several of our brothers. Listen, I will only say it one last time. Our target is only Mr. Van der Linde. You and I Others promise that we have no interest in you and that you can always put down your weapons and leave here."

At this time, John finally couldn't help it anymore. He saw Abigail being pointed at a gun. He saw little Jack holding his mother's leg and crying.

John raised his gun angrily and was about to rush forward to fight for his life.

This movement caused both sides to immediately raise their guns and point them at each other. The Cornish employees on the opposite side also pushed the hostages forward as a cover.

"Hey! Hey! Don't be impulsive! Stop John." Dutch shouted, and Charles rushed to John and pulled him back.

Dutch looked back at his own people and then at the opposite side. He didn't know how the other party found this place, but the other party was obviously fully prepared. They had a large number of people.

No, once there is a fight, the hostages will be in danger. What should we do?He had to figure something out.

Dutch spoke again:
"Listen! The relationship between Cornwall and you is just an employment relationship, right?"

The squad leader said:

"Yes, we have said that we are just employees of Mr. Cornwall, so we have no personal conflicts with you, and we do not want to make this matter more complicated. As I said, as long as Van der Linde you Come with us, others have nothing to do with us and we will not harm them.”

Now that this was the case, Dutch suddenly had a plan. He turned back, then took off the sack full of money and gold from his horse, came back to the team leader, and took out all the gold and banknotes inside. Showing it, he said bewitchingly:

"It's all gold and money here. Since you and Cornwall are just in an employment relationship, I think you should serve whoever offers the higher price. Isn't this true?"

"Hey."

The squad leader smiled. He looked at the sack in Dutch's hand, roughly estimated it based on the exposed part, and then turned his head to look at the brothers next to him.

The squad leader saw it clearly.

His team members were obviously shocked by the banknotes and gold in Dutch's hand, and they all exchanged excited glances with the team leader.

Wiping the rain off his face, the team leader said to Dach in a difficult way:

"Mr. van der Linde, you must know that Mr. Cornwall is very generous to us."
