America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 91

"Mr. Chen, I want you to help me investigate this Ku Klux Klan?"

The mayor's office is very tidy, with bright and clean windows, in stark contrast to the dusty street outside the windows.

"I'm afraid I can't help. Since you know our identities, you also know that we won't stay here for too long. We have more important things to do." Chen Jianqiu refused as always.

"What if the reward is right? I can't find anyone else for the time being." The mayor's five fingers tapped on the table in turn, looking at Chen Jianqiu.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, as you know, our identities are very sensitive." Chen Jianqiu politely declined, and he winked at the mayor, "I suggest you hire some private detectives, such as Pinkerton Detective Agency, they More professional and likely to be around."

"That's a pity." The mayor didn't seem to hear Chen Jianqiu's last sentence, he looked melancholy, "I'm really worried, the situation seems to be very serious at present, it seems that many residents of the town have been bewitched and involved .”

The mayor sent Chen Jianqiu out of the house.

In early October, Montrose was crisp and clear in autumn. The sparse larch around the town was still green, but the shrubs and grass on the ground were already yellowing.

Chen Jianqiu walked into the tavern, and saw Adam, Sean and Danny sitting on the table by the window in the lobby playing cards.

They played a card game that was popular in the West at the time, somewhat similar to the predecessor of Texas Hold'em.

There are also fullhouses and flushes, but the rules for dealing cards are much simpler than later.

A revolver was placed on the table on Adam's left, and it was unknown whether the gun was directed at the black man intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, Adam, can the muzzle of this gun not be pointed at me all the time." Sean looked at the cards in his hand and then at the gun on the table, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Adam didn't even raise his head, his eyes seemed to be focused on his own cards, and he said calmly: "You can choose this hand to continue playing tricks, and I can also guarantee that the hand you played tricks will bloom. "

Sean shivered for a moment, and the other hand obediently took it from under the table.

Chen Jianqiu did not interrupt the elegant mood of the few, and watched with great interest.He even considered whether to add a size outside the market. It is glorious to squeeze the wool, because the black card skills that don't play tricks are too stinky.

"Damn it, shit." Sean slammed his cards on the table, and he lost another big one,
He looked up and saw Chen Jianqiu standing behind Adam, a smile appeared on his face immediately, "Boss, are you back?"

Adam and the others also put down the cards in their hands, Asuka moved a chair over, and Chen Jianqiu sat down.

"How?" Adam asked.

"The mayor asked me to help him investigate the Ku Klux Klan." Chen Jianqiu played with the pocket watch carelessly, "I refused."

"so?"

"I'm going to check it out alone. It's a bit strange. Maybe it's for us."

As for Chen Jianqiu's decision, Asuka and the others are already used to it. As long as their boss dares to go, he must have his purpose and confidence.

But the newly joined Danny didn't know, he looked at Chen Jianqiu worriedly: "Are you sure you're going alone?"

Chen Jianqiu nodded: "This town is closely related to the 3K Klan, and there is a high probability that they have their eyeliner here, so I can go alone."

"It's all here."

Chen Jianqiu told them not to act until dark and what to do, and then explained the arrangements for the response.

Everyone went their separate ways, and Chen Jianqiu came to the public security station again.

Just like when he saw Sigmund for the first time, the Jew was sleeping on the table, and in the cell behind him, a few young men caught last night were sitting there dumbfounded.

"Have you had lunch?" Chen Jianqiu took out a few cakes without disturbing the snoring Sigmund.

几个人摇了摇头，昨天被丹尼狠揍的那个年轻人嘴角舔了舔自己青了的嘴角，口水正从那里流出来。

Chen Jianqiu threw the cake to them through the fence, and threw a water bag over.

Several people scrambled into a group, and those who didn't grab it could only pick up the debris that fell on the ground, and stuffed them into their mouths hungrily.

"Can you be so hungry without eating three meals?" Chen Jianqiu shook his head, "The income standard of the Ku Klux Klan is a bit low."

"Hey, let me ask you, do you do activities every day?" Chen Jianqiu looked at the kid who was picking up debris on the ground, and handed him another whole piece.

"No, no, we are just a branch, but there seems to be a big ceremony tonight." The young man took the cake from Chen Jianqiu's hand, tore it open and put it in his mouth.

"Who are there?"

"I don't know, uh, uh, only our upline knows, they sent us the clothes, and their identities are kept strictly confidential, and we don't know who is who." The young man said while eating, he couldn't grab the water bag, Almost choked on himself.

"Location?"

"In the forest to the west of the town, there is an open space. There is a big cross at the entrance, which is very recognizable."

Chen Jianqiu didn't intend to stay here any longer, he picked up a clean white robe that was on the table, and walked out of the security station.

As dusk fell, a cowboy rode a black horse quietly out of the town. After a few kilometers to the west, he saw a dense coniferous forest with a path leading to it.

The cowboy got off his horse and got into the nearby woods. After a while, a man covered in white cloth came out of the woods.

Chen Jianqiu looked at his feet through the two holes in the mask. By the moonlight, he found that the robe covered his feet. Looking at it from a distance at night, he might really look like a "ghost".

He walked up to Black Carrot and patted his buttocks, and the rambunctious horse ran out immediately, knowing that it was time for him to have fun again.

Chen Jianqiu walked into the forest along the path.

If we say that outside the forest, the moon and stars can still be regarded as sparse; but when entering the forest, the surrounding brightness drops again, and we can only faintly see the path under our feet.

From time to time, there will be a few calls of unknown animals in the forest, and occasionally there will be owls flapping their wings on the branches. They fly from one tree to another, shaking the top of the tree, and at the same time Make a strange cry of "Jie Jie".

Chen Jianqiu was walking along the path, when he suddenly noticed that there was a person in the same attire as himself walking ahead holding a torch.

The man walked cautiously, step by step, constantly observing the movement in the surrounding forest, as if he was afraid that something would jump out of the forest.

Chen Jianqiu lowered his footsteps and followed.

"Damn it, why did you choose this kind of place for the gathering? It really scares people to death at night." The man holding the torch complained while looking around.

When he looked to his right hand.

Suddenly, under the halo of the torch, a face with no facial features but two holes appeared.

"Oh my god, ghost!" The man sat down on the ground in fright, and threw the torch out of his hand.

The torch was lightly caught and handed back to the man.

A hand stretched out and pulled him up from the ground. The man took a closer look, and it turned out that the person in front of him was also a "fellow man" in a white robe.

"Oh, you scared me to death, don't you have any footsteps when you walk?" The man patted his chest.

Chen Jianqiu didn't speak. He didn't intend to scare the person in front, but planned to sneak into the meeting place with him.

After all, in a wood like this, two men with torches look much more normal than one in the dark.
