Just in terms of strength, Jack is not a qualified sheriff.

He lacks the most important thing in the western region, his strength!

Jack's strength is between ordinary cowboys and elite cowboys. He is quite powerful among the town's security guards, but he is not qualified to go up.

If it weren't for the scene where the deputy policeman died in battle and the sheriff left with his seal, it wouldn't have been his turn to become the sheriff.

The short ones pick generals, but the one who picks out is still a short one, but they are relatively taller among the short ones.

Before the accident happened, everything was peaceful.

When encountering emergencies, the disadvantages of Jack's lack of strength are undoubtedly highlighted.

As the sheriff in the town, Dinghai Shenjian, his rapid-fire level of drawing guns is not even as good as a wanted criminal, and his death is not unfair.

"No one is allowed to shoot, otherwise I will kill her with one shot!"

Horace pointed the gun at the hostage. If Lin Yao remembered correctly, the hostage was the nightingale in the bar.

It was the girl who just returned to Shitou Town, standing at the door of the bar, wearing a red dress, saying that he looked very young and wanted to invite him to sit in the room.

Compared to the colorful styles of the past, she looks like she is losing her parents today.

The wanted criminal shot and killed the town sheriff in front of her. She had never seen such a bloody and violent scene.

"I want a horse, bread and water. If you fulfill my wish, I will leave the town again. It will be no loss for you." Horace said, kissing the Nightingale's cheek and whispered: "Baby, you are so fragrant. I bet you must be tender and juicy. I will come to you if you have the chance."

Nightingale couldn't help sobbing, not daring to resist the fierce-looking wanted criminal.

Seeing that the pedestrians surrounded him more and more, the guards were worried that the hostages would not dare to shoot at all, Lin Yao sighed and pulled out his revolver.

Lift the gun, aim, and the whole action is completed in one go.

Bang!!

The bullet erupted with the gunshot, directly lifting Horace's head, and the messy things splashed the Nightingale's face.

Looking at the headless corpse that fell to the ground, Lin Yao calmly inserted the revolver into the gun bag and said, "Call the priests in the town to come over, we need to prepare the funeral for the heroic sheriff."

After saying that, Lin Yao glanced at Nightingale and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay..."

Nightingale wiped the blood from her face with a handkerchief, looked at him with panic and excited eyes, and whispered: "You look so cool when you shoot! If you want, I am willing to provide you with some free services, which can effectively eliminate your fatigue."

“It just makes me more tired.”

Lin Yao smiled and joked, then looked at Horace's body: "Take him out and feed the dog, this damn wanted criminal, has caused us to lose a good sheriff."

Lin Yao couldn't let go of Jack's death for a long time.

It's not how deep friendship they have, but how Jack's death will disrupt his plans.

He is the sheriff of the town. According to Texas practice, the sheriff was killed during his tenure and the sheriff's position would be topped by the deputy sheriff.

In other words, Lin Yao is the sheriff of the town, and this position makes it difficult for him to get out of here for a while.

In the afternoon, amid the pastor's prayer, Sheriff Jack was buried in the cemetery.

There were many people attending the funeral, and all the well-known people in the town came.

Lin Yao also took over as the sheriff as usual. News about his takeover will be sent to the state legislature by telegram, and the judicial department of the state legislature will be recorded in the file.

From today on, he is the sheriff named in the state legislature, and his identity can be officially recognized.

"Sir Stephen, congratulations on taking office. Can I borrow some of your time?"

In the evening, tax collector Seravi came to Lin Yao's house and re-reported the old things, hoping that Lin Yao would accept the proposal to cut the guards.

Lin Yao did not agree, but retorted: "Our former sheriff, just been beaten to death in the street today, and you actually want to cut the guards. Don't you think the guards still need to be strengthened?"

"I'm very sad about Sheriff Jack, but this is an accidental event, which is not enough to represent anything."

"On the contrary, the number of guards exceeded the standard, which has affected the prosperity of the town. Can you imagine that a town with a population of thousands actually has thirty-five guards?"

"The residents are already disgusted with the scenes of guards all over the streets. When they see these people, they always feel that the gunfight may happen to everyone in the next second, which makes everyone very nervous."

Serravi re-reported the old story and took out the financial statements in the folder: "This is our tax list for this month. You can see how long our finances can support it."

Lin Yao took it and took a look.

The deficit is serious. According to this trend, 70% of the fiscal and tax revenue will be used for town security in the future.

Thirty-five people, the daily consumption and maintenance of firearms are a lot of money, and in addition, they have to pay wages, so there are more places that need to be used.

The first month was fine, because there were donations from small town residents, most of the money was not transferred to tax and finance.

I will not be so lucky next month, and it is impossible for the public security office to call on residents to donate every month.

"The five Mounties stationed at the railway station were sent by the parliament and were not under our jurisdiction. In fact, the number of guards in the town should be thirty."

"Well, twenty-nine people, poor Sheriff Jack was killed today."

"Let me do this, I will announce that the number of guards will be reduced to twenty in half a month."

"Of course, this will exceed the twelve people's standard, but I will not let the extra people become a burden. I will let them hunt down wanted criminals near the territory, exchange wanted criminals for rewards, and make up for financial expenditures in this regard."

Lin Yao agreed with the conditions and could reduce the number of guards, which would take half a month later.

Half a month has passed since the shooting of Hart. If Hanon's revenge is not coming in the next half month, it means that he is not a simple-minded person. He may take revenge, and it is difficult to say.

There is only the principle of being a thief for thousands of days, but there is no one who guards against a thief for thousands of days.

He will gradually hand over what he has on hand within half a month. If Hanon has no sign of taking action, he will hand over the sheriff's position and move his whole family to a big city.

Since the train robbery, Lin Zhizhou has discussed moving with Mary.

One month is enough for them to sell their cattle, sheep, pasture, house and other properties.

......

Time passed again, and the 26th day of killing Hart.

Hanon's attack still did not come, and the cattle, sheep and pasture at home were sold, not far from Shitou Town.

Just when Lin Yao felt that he could leave peacefully and start a new life after waiting for a few days, the New York Detective Office who had disappeared for a long time returned to Stone Town.

"Hello, Mr. Sokoto, is there any progress?"

Lin Yao sat in the office of the security office, looking at the famous detective Sousao Koto who came from afar.

Sokoto did not talk nonsense to him and said bluntly: "We caught Billy and found 24 gold bars in his hiding place. He admitted that he had hidden some of the gold bars and provided us with valuable information."

"He told us that he saw you chasing a gangster into the woods. The gangster was confirmed by us as a partner of Hart, the leader of the train robber, and also one of the carriers of the gold bars."

"After you parted on the spot, it took you two hours to return to town. When you came back, you told Billy that he didn't catch up with Pete and let him run away."

"But in our investigation, Pete never showed up again since that day. He is not alone. If he owns a batch of priceless gold bars and escapes safely, there is no reason not to leave with his family."

"But he didn't. He was really missing, no one was seen alive, no corpse could be seen dead."

"So we suspect that you didn't let him escape, but killed him, lied that he ran away with the intention of swallowing the gold bars."

Slap!!

Lin Yao smiled and applauded, and said, "It's a very good story. You should write it. Being a detective is really a pity. What you said makes sense, but I want to confirm it again. Where is the evidence?"

To catch a thief, you have to catch a dirty thing. How can you call a thief without evidence?

When Sokoto heard these words, he calmly replied: "There will be evidence, we are eyeing you."
