Lin Yao had known for a long time that gold was not so easy to settle.

Sure enough, Sokoto and the others did not give up. It took a month to finally catch Old Billy.

Old Billy is an important part of the gold bar theft case. He has the greatest suspicion. Anyone with discerning eyes will know that he has a problem with him as soon as he guesses.

With him attracting firepower in front, others seem less important.

Similarly, once he is caught, Lin Yao may be exposed very much. There were crowds of people in groups that night, and not many people had the opportunity to make gold ideas.

And he was the last one to come back, second only to Old Billy.

Panic?

Not panic at all.

Lin Yao never thought that he would not arouse suspicion, but he didn't expect that Old Billy would be caught so soon.

Now is not the era of information dissemination, there are no public cameras, no big data, and no real-name system.

If a person wants to hide, it will be difficult for others to find him. If it weren't for this, Hanon wouldn't have been at large until now.

People like Sokoto are really capable. It is hard to imagine how these people took a few handmade portraits to find the city along the railway and then found the old Billy from the city. It is no less difficult than looking for an orphanage from thousands of miles away?

"If you doubt it, just doubt it. What can you do to me if you don't have evidence?"

"You are professional, and I'm not a waste of time. If I go to the 21st century, I wouldn't dare to make a promise with the help of modern means."

“In the 19th century, there were not many people who could catch me.”

Lin Yao was not very worried. He had already handled the crime scene and Pete's body was also dealt with.

If you can't find Pete, you can't confirm his death.

Without evidence of death, the gold bar cannot be held back and the suspicion on him is not valid.

Doubt and inference cannot be convicted.

At most, the gold bar cannot be taken out in a short period of time, or the origin of the gold bar cannot be explained, so that it cannot be linked to the theft of Morgan Bank.

Fireworks are coming in March, and spring rain is coming as scheduled.

This is the first rain in Texas. It is not heavy, but it represents the alternation of seasons.

Lin Yao has already arranged the matters of the public security office. After leaving office, the town will invite an experienced sheriff from another place to take office.

However, this spring rain that lasted for several days has caused obstacles to the newly appointed sheriff.

His time to take office was delayed by a few days than the agreed time, and Lin Yao also had to stay in the town for a few more days.

A month has passed, and Hanon's revenge has not been seen yet.

Some people claim that the real Hanong had actually died long ago, and died in an encirclement two years ago.

Hanong's men were afraid of being retaliated by others, so they continued to do evil under the banner of Hanong.

These news were circulated with great enthusiasm, and some even claimed to have attended Hanon's funeral.

Lin Yao was half-believing and half-doubted about this and still made the worst plan.

No one in the whole town believed that Hanon might come to take revenge.

Even the guards didn't believe it. They stood lazy at the door, leaning against the railings, watching the drizzle outside, and talking the most about the prostitutes in the town.

Due to tax reasons, the number of guards in the public security center was adjusted and reduced to twenty.

Similarly, the mounts stationed at the railway station were also transferred, and the great men of the council believed that the possibility of attack in Stone Town was very small, and putting five elite mounts in the railway station to guard the warehouse was a waste.

"The town has looked much lively in the past two days!"

Lin Yao just arrived at the public security office today and heard the conversation between the two guards.

One person said: "Yesterday, I saw a few new faces in the casino. They took advantage of their actions and spent money like water. I don't know where they came from."

Another person said: "I also discovered that there have been some foreigners in the town these days, but they rarely go out on the streets and do not cause trouble, so they have a low sense of existence."

After listening for a while, Lin Yao frowned and asked, "When did he discover this?"

"Just these few days!"

"In three days, they all came within three days."

Lin Yao's heart skipped a beat, his face was not very good: "Why don't you report?"

"Boss, this is not worth it. There are more outsiders visiting in the town every day, but there are a few more days."

"Yes, the sheriff, they didn't make trouble. The more people like this, the better."

Facing his subordinates' answers, Lin Yao felt that it was extraordinary.

They had just cut the guards and there were many generous tourists coming to the town. Are they really tourists?

"How many people do they have, and who am I am, how many people are there to be doubtful about?"

"A dozen people have lived there for a few days."

"There should be more than twenty, and the bartender at the bar told me that I sold 30 more bottles of rum last night than usual."

As Lin Yao listened one by one, his suspicion became heavier and he said in a deep voice: "The people who notified us to gather, everyone would cancel their vacations and remain in combat."

"Boss, do you think they will be bad for us?" One person spread his hands and smiled: "It's impossible. They didn't come together, and most of them didn't bring weapons, otherwise we would have reported to you."

“Doesn’t bring weapons mean safety?”

"They may be pioneers, and they are used to find out our background, and the large army is still behind."

"They may be Hanong's people. They don't attack us but are conducting a survey in the town. I'm afraid they are not just retaliating against us, but also trying to get the idea of ​​the town."

Lin Yao thought that Hanong's people might have arrived, and when he was waiting for the opportunity to cooperate inside and outside, he felt a headache, and waved his hand and said, "Go quickly and notify everyone to come back, and he said I want to hold a meeting in the public security center."

"Okay, OK Sheriff!"

The two of them dared not delay and left in a hurry.

After they left, Lin Yao stood in front of the security glass window, looked at Shitou Town under the rain, and thought to himself: "Hope is just a false alarm!"

According to the two guards, there were 10 or 20 people exposed alone, and it is conceivable that there were more people who were not.

Forty or fifty gangsters rushed to the town. Such a bad incident has not happened in a long time.

If it was really the same as he thought, the people who got in were Hanong's people.

I'm afraid the revenge on them is only one, and the more important purpose is to loot the town.

Soon, at the call of Lin Yao, twenty guards returned one after another.

Some of them were night shift guards, while others were on vacation, so they didn't understand Lin Yao's sudden call.

Especially Lin Yao said that when Hanong's attack might come, many people disdained it.

It has been a month since this time. I said that Hanong is coming every day, but I have never seen the shadow.

Who knows whether Hanon is dead or alive? Maybe he has died long ago. The so-called revenge is just to scare himself. He is not as powerful as people say.

dingdang, dingdang, dingdang

As he was talking, a caravan in black came to the town with the ringing ring.

There were more than a dozen of them, riding tall horses, covered with cloaks to block the rain, and three box-type carriages behind them, which looked like they were travelers from other places.

“Go outside and have a look.”

At Lin Yao's instructions, a guard walked out.

"Who are you? If you carry weapons, the town needs to know what you are going to do!"

The guard stood in the light rain and said to the man in the lead.

The black-clad leader lifted his cloak and his answer was a rifle: "Bang!!"

The gunshots and the guards fly backwards.
