Red Dead Redemption Dawn Chapter 35

It was after four o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the Shilan trading station, and John came to Kane's house.

John came to the door of the house and knocked on the door, but no one responded. It is estimated that Kane went out to find work.

So John decided to wait by the side of the house. Just as John took out a cigarette and lit it, before taking a breath, a slightly surprised voice came from beside him.

"John?"

John looked back and saw Kane with a surprised look on his face. The wound on Kane's face was almost healed, but there were still some small scars hanging on his face.

"Kane, I thought I would have to wait for a while." John also had a smile on his face, "Do you mind asking me to sit in?"

"Of course not, come in quickly. How are you doing?" Kane happily invited John to sit in, and when he entered the house, he opened a bottle of wine specially to fill the two of them.

"Not bad, how about you?"

John also picked up the glass and toasted him.

"It's alright, business has been getting harder and harder recently, John, have you received another mission and need help with the investigation?" After having a cup of tea with John, Kane asked John why he came here.

"It's not a task. In fact, I want to introduce a job to you. I don't know if you are interested." John stated the purpose of this trip.

"we?"

"Yes, you and Lambert." John nodded and took a glass of wine to himself.

"Let's talk about it first, I think it's suitable." Kane did not agree immediately, but asked about the content of the job.

"Are the police officers in the dock area of ​​Blackwater Town interested?" John took out an appointment letter and handed it to Kane.

Kane was stunned when he heard it, then took the document and began to examine it carefully.

"You want to ask us to be the police? John, you are no longer a bounty hunter?" Kane asked with a puzzled look holding the document.

"For some reason, I am now the sheriff of Blackwater Town, and even more powerful than the general sheriff. I am the sheriff of a region. I will take office within four days, but I have no trusted personnel under my command. , this will cause some work to fail for the first time." John explained patiently.

"So, you want us to follow you? Be a police officer." Kane asked after he understood.

"Well, are you interested?" John nodded.

"The police in Blackwater Town, it sounds good, but my marksmanship is not good, will it have any effect?" Kane said about his shortcomings.

"You just need to help me deal with the documents, investigate and investigate the information of some characters, you do what you are good at, I will not let you run around in Blackwater Town with a gun. Would you like to, the salary is still very good Yes." John also felt that it was a waste of talent to let Kane run around with a gun, he was more suitable for intelligence work, and the salary in Blackwater Town was indeed very good.

"I don't know, maybe think about it, the police detective in Blackwater Town." Kane said with a nuzzled mouth. It sounds good to be a policeman in Blackwater Town, and he works under John, but He was a little worried that he might not do well.

"Of course, what about Lambert? We can go to his house and talk to him casually, and we can also listen to his opinion." John thought of Lambert, who started to go bald before he was thirty.

"Well, let's go to his house to hear his opinion." Kane nodded, and then headed towards Lambert's house.

John also bought some fresh steaks and wine on the way.

Lambert lives on the edge of the Shilan trading post.

When the two came to his house, he was cleaning the harness, and his occupation was as a guard on a farm. The salary is not high but it is more than enough to support his wife.

See John and Kane arrive. Lambert was delighted, and he greeted John and Kane warmly into the house.

The house is not big, the living room and kitchen are connected together, and there is a room in the back room.

Lambert's wife, Eva Eason, is a gentle looking white woman. When I saw a friend coming, I was very happy to invite the two of them. Just when it was time for dinner, Eva rushed to cook, and the three of Kane and John drank and chatted on the table by the door.

John wanted Lambert and Kane to tell his thoughts and hoped that they would come to help him.

"So, John, are you now the regional sheriff of Blackwater Town?" Lambert was a little surprised. A month ago, the young man across from him was a bounty hunter he envied. District Sheriff? It's also too fast.

"Yes, but I don't have anyone I can trust. I think the two of you can trust me. Are you interested?" John nodded.

"Of course, that's much better than being a ranch guard. I'm very interested in salary and job content." Lambert readily agreed without any hesitation.

"You don't have to ask your wife this time?" Kane was surprised by Lambert's speed.

"She just wants me to have a decent job, police officer in Blackwater? It's decent enough," Lambert said to Kane.

"That's great, I don't know too many people in Blackwater Town. How about you, Kane?" John happily touched Lambert. Then he turned his head to look at Kane and asked.

"I, to be honest, I haven't done it, I'm afraid I can't do it well." Kane became embarrassed instead.

"I haven't done it either, but I'm sure I can't do better than you, Kane, come and help me." John picked up the bottle and touched Kane's mouth, and said sincerely.

Looking at John's sincere appearance, Kane looked at Lambert again, then smiled and said, "Okay. I'll go."

John happily raised the bottle and touched the two of them.

"The meal is ready, come in and eat." Ellen said to the three at the door.

Afterwards, the three entered the house.

The three drank until eight or nine in the evening, after which John took the half-drunk Kane back to his cabin. He left the address for the two of them, the hotel where John lived temporarily, and they could go to him after they were done with the matter. It was expected that they would be able to come to Blackwater Town to find John in a day or two.

After that, John didn't delay but went directly to Blackwater Town. Tomorrow, John wanted to ask Steve if he had a suitable person to introduce.

In fact, there is one person who is suitable to be John's teammate, and that is Entor, who John has been working with for more than ten days.

This guy is worthy of his name as a gangster. His marksmanship and resilience are very good, but John knew it was impossible, because when he parted with John, he made it clear that he would not use a gun in the future, and just wanted to be with him. He survived with his wife Mary.

Let's not disturb his happy life, John thought as he rode his horse.

At this time, he came to Beecher's Wish and saw the old house that had not been burnt down. John remembered the place where Triss's family of three were buried, and then John rode to check on the incense or something.

When he came to the small mound of the family of three, John saw that it seemed that it had been cleaned, and there were some withered flowers placed in front of the tombstone several days ago.

who can that be? John was a little confused, because John had carefully investigated Triss, who no longer had any relatives.

Forget it, it's always good for someone to clean it up. John took out a bottle of brandy and poured it in front of the unnamed tombstone, then lit three more cigarettes and stuck it in front of the tombstone, as a tribute to Triss's parents and her brother.

After John finished his worship, he headed towards Blackwater Town.

It was almost midnight when he returned to the hotel in Blackwater Town. John just took a shower and went to bed. The next day he wanted to get up early to visit Steve.

The next morning, John was eating breakfast, and halfway through his meal, he suddenly remembered who went to visit Triss's grave, the three homeless.

John still remembered that the guy named Dorodo had good marksmanship, and John vaguely remembered that he said he was a veteran.

"I don't know where they are now, maybe we can get in touch." John decided to visit Steve after breakfast, not only because he was the right person but also because he needed to buy some real estate in Blackwater Town, although it was nice to live in a hotel , and it is often cleaned, but the necessary permanent residence after becoming a sheriff is still needed.

Steve can help you find a suitable house.

He is not short of money now. In the past 20 days, many thieves' dens have been wiped out. John basically implements the three-light policy. The thieves' den of four criminals plus the gang of guys who want to rob the convoy, John, will get about 1,600 US dollars. .

In addition to the original 6,000, John has 8,000 U.S. dollars. Otherwise, how would he say the golden belt of murder and arson, even though he killed robbers.

When he came to Edwin Manor again, John was a little embarrassed. Every time he came, he asked for help, although Steve said he didn't mind.

"Hey, Mr. John, are you looking for someone? I'll let you know." One of the guards recognized John and walked towards the manor.

Steve did not come out to greet him this time, but asked the guard to bring John directly to the living room, because Mr. Edwin was at home today.

"John, how are you doing recently? I heard that you became the sheriff of Blackwater Town. I didn't expect it." Mr. Edwin showed John a full gentleman. He stood up and shook hands with John, Then he was invited to sit down and Danny served coffee for the two of them, Steve sat aside, and Mr. Edwin was drinking tea.

"It's not bad, in fact, it was a coincidence that he became the sheriff of Heishui Town."

"Then tell us what happened to you recently, I think your experience must be interesting." Steve took a sip of coffee and said.

"It's not a big deal, but there are some interesting things." Then John briefly told about his experience in the past 20 days. Although it wasn't very interesting, the two of them listened with great interest.

Of course, the experience of these two people is much higher than that of John. Even if they pretend to be interested, John can't tell. But he felt that the two of them really liked listening to it.

"You said you killed a group of robbers called the Mickey Gang at Devil's Hill and a migratory convoy?" Steve asked after listening to it.

"Yes, that's what the guy who was caught alive said." John nodded and took a sip of his coffee.

"Then did you bring his body back?" Steve asked slightly.

"No, is there anything wrong?" John looked at Steve with a slightly subtle expression.

"If you're right, the boss of this Mickey gang is Mickey Freeman, who has a bounty of $3,000 in New Hanover and West Elizabeth." Steve said with a smile what he knew. information.

"Oh my God." John sighed.

"That's right, you threw three thousand dollars in the ground and let him rot." Steve said regretfully.

"Hehe, it looks like you've lost a lot of money, John." Edwin also teased John.

"It seems that I threw away the most valuable thing. It seems that I will go out to work by memorizing the name on the reward list in the future." John waved his hand to express his regret and helplessness.

The two of them also laughed, and then Steve asked about the purpose of John's visit.

"Hehe, so, John, what are you doing here this time?"

"This time I want to buy a property in Heishui Town or something. After all, I want to be a sheriff in Heishui Town. It's not good to always live in a hotel. But I'm not familiar with real estate in Heishui Town." John did not express his purpose directly without being hypocritical.

"Is that so." Edwin thought for a moment and then tried to ask.

"Do you have any requests?"

"It's better to be bigger, a place that can accommodate more people." John thought that he and his five subordinates would most likely live together and cultivate mutual trust.

And Lambert needs at least a complete and remote room, and he has a wife.

And the most important thing is that John is really not short of money now, eight thousand dollars plus a bunch of sundries that haven't been sold yet.

John's worth may not be ranked in Blackwater Town, but he must be considered a rich man in other places such as Valentine or Roots, so if he can, John will definitely put it on better terms.

Edwin and Steve looked at each other and nodded.

"What's the matter, is there a suitable place?" John asked when he saw the movements of the two.

"Yes, except that it is a bit far away, it fits your requirements." Steve smiled and nodded.

"Where?" John looked at Steve.

"John, do you remember Cheerman Manor more than a month ago?" Mr. Edwin asked aloud.

"Oh~ where, hasn't it been sold yet?" Didn't John say that Jackka sold all the properties in Blackwater Town?

"Because the thieves attacked my manor, I received a lot of compensation from the Blackwater Township government, including this manor that was reclaimed by the government because no one bought it." Edwin explained and then continued.

"The valuables in it were basically taken or sold, so it was just a big house and some furniture that Chelman didn't like to take away. Where did I leave a few people in charge of cleaning, recently I also plan to find the right seller."

"I haven't found it yet? That place is very good." That place is indeed good. Edwin Manor is near the Iron Lake in the east of Blackwater Town.

And Chelman Manor is just as close to Flat Iron Lake below Edwin, and the scenery is just as good. Not far below it is Quaker Bay.

"Yes, its location is really good, but because my manor has been attacked, and most of the guys who can afford it in Blackwater Town have their own manor, there is no need to buy another one." Edwin drank elegantly. A sip of tea continued.

"And they are worried that there will be a second attack on the manor, so there is no need to buy a place so far from Blackwater Town, because it is basically useless, and the land is not good, and there is only this guy named Chelman. Will stay away from Blackwater Town, where to build a manor to raise robbers." Edwin explained why, that place is difficult to sell.

"And the island on the right side of Quaker Bay has always been occupied by a group of people from Mexico. Although they have been very quiet, it has also made the manor more difficult to sell." Steve said aside.

"So it is, is it expensive?" Would John be afraid of robbers? the answer is negative. So John asked the most important question, its price.

"Normally, its price is around $6,000, but for various reasons, I can sell it to you for $3,000. John, you can owe it first. The money is not important to me." Devin kindly suggested to John.

"Mr. Edwin, will you lose this price?" John wanted to make sure that Mr. Edwin suffered a loss.

"Of course not, I said it's hard to sell, so John if you want, I can get someone to help you with the property right now, and you'll get the place in the afternoon, and Cherman doesn't like it There is a lot of furniture, and the whole is quite complete~www.mtlnovel.com~ You can even live there today without buying anything." Edwin said softly.

"Of course, wow, knowing you guys is probably the biggest gain I have come to Blackwater Town." John nodded and sighed.

Edwin smiled after hearing this, took a sip of his tea, and readily accepted John's flattery. Indeed, many people didn't have any chance to know him.

"So, John, you can now deal with the problem of the manor with my lawyer Philip. He does things very quickly, you only need to sign a few words yourself." After Edwin finished speaking to John, he turned towards Butler Danny ordered, "Danny, call Philip and go to Blackwater Town with Mr. John to go through the formalities."

"Yes, sir." Danny, the standard English housekeeper, whispered to John, "Please wait a moment, Mr. John."

Looking at John who was leaving with Philip's lawyer, Edwin suddenly remembered something, and then he said to Steve, "I seem to have forgotten, do you think John can afford the expenses of the manor?"

"Oh~ I forgot too." Steve showed a bad expression, and then he touched his smooth chin and said

"It should be possible based on his ability. At least I'm sure he will not come to you to return the money after knowing the expenses of the manor. He can't hold this face."

"I seem to have left John a bad burden." Mr. Edwin showed a trace of apology. He forgot that John was not a real rich man with a lot of ranches, factories, bars and other industries like him. John's Income is volatile, and more is obtained through the suppression of bandits.

"Don't worry, he won't blame you. He himself is very satisfied with the manor. Young people, there should be some pressure." Steve smiled like an old fox as he watched the leaving carriage.
