Everyone in the Dutton family pursues a late marriage policy. Their family believes that a person is only eligible to marry when he is mature.Because only then will he understand what responsibility is and be able to protect his family well.It was true of old Dutton, and it was true of most of his sons and daughters.Neither the eldest brother nor the eldest sister of the Dutton family is married, only the youngest, Keith Dutton, is the most rebellious in the whole family.

When Case wanted to be with an Indian woman, he ran away from home because of the opposition of the old Dutton. Case was also the only one of Dutton's generation who was married and had children.He also came back recently because of a series of changes in the family.His wife also had a falling out with him, I don't know if it was because of returning to the family.And his children were kept by his wife's side.

Case couldn't even visit his kids.

As a result, I heard about the child again, but it turned out that the child was missing.

After Keith's wife Monica couldn't find her child, she had no choice but to find the Dutton family.

……

Seeing the out-of-control Case rushing out of the room, Old Dutton didn't give in, almost rushing out with both feet.Dutton Sr. has lost many loved ones in his life, but this time, he will never allow the loss of his grandson.Both Kay and Susie were a little embarrassed at this moment.To be reasonable, it's a bit inappropriate for them to stay here when something like this happens to someone else's house.But it didn't seem too good to say goodbye hastily.While the two were embarrassed, Jamie, the second son of Dutton's family, was the more upbeat, and immediately stood up to express his apology, saying that something happened at home and the hospitality was not good, and he would arrange a car to take them back.

Kai is also ready to follow the trend and agree, if other people's children are lost, what are they doing here?

But before Kay could speak, Beth grabbed Kay and asked for Kay's help.

"Miss Beth, you... I'm the sheriff of Garter Town, and I don't have law enforcement authority here." Kai said a bit embarrassed.

To be honest, what Kay said is actually more evasive.He didn't feel that the Dutton family needed his help. Others were rich and powerful, and they had hundreds of cowboys with guns under their hands. The Windham City Police Department became their thugs of the Dutton family. Not to mention the police, there is also the animal husbandry committee. Don’t think that the American animal husbandry committee is just a pure non-governmental organization like the industry associations in other countries. On the contrary, the animal husbandry committees in many states have their own armed forces. Strictly speaking, That's supposed to be the police, attached to the state troopers.

The Duttons have so many resources that Kay doesn't feel they need to help herself.What Beth did was a complete waste of resources.The point is, Kai really doesn't like some of the Dutton's style of work.

"I don't trust the trash in the Windham City Police Department!" Beth gave a good reason.The Garde Town Police Station has always been under the control of the Dutton family, acting like a thug. It is a dream to expect their professionalism to be high.

Others have just entertained Kai and donated so much money to Jiade Town. Even if Kai doesn't like the Dutton family, it is impossible for him to turn his face so quickly.So just stay.

……

Keith's son Tate disappeared in an Indian reservation. Although the Indians do not like white people intruding into their territory, Tate is not only a child of white people, but also of Indian blood. Monica's family is in the local It's a bit of a reputation, so the Indians in the reservation had to pinch their noses to recognize it, but they still warned the white people not to make trouble on the Indian land.Also because of the participation of white people, the Indians who originally helped Monica find her child also began to stand by.

They think Monica's actions hurt them, this is Indian land, and they have the ability to find their own children on their own land.Monica turned to white people by distrusting them.

Even Monica's brother was very angry.

But the maddened Monica has no time to take care of these things, she just wants to find her own child.

It's a pity that I searched all night to no avail.After dawn, everyone formed a human chain and carried out a blanket search of a [-]-kilometer radius of Monica's house.

It was also at this time that Beth brought Kay to the scene.

Old Dutton took Rip and saw Kai's arrival, he was stunned.He didn't expect that Kai would come to help them at this time.Although they didn't talk for a long time yesterday, old Dutton could tell that the little sheriff in front of him was not interested in their family.

Old Dutton didn't care about this.There are countless people who want him dead. It's nothing for a policeman to hate him.He was just a little pity. Through the previous anti-narcotics case and the subsequent assassination case, the old Dutton could see that Kai was a talent.

Unexpectedly, someone else came to help today.Kay doesn't like their Dutton family, and he has never asked them for anything. If he can come today, it is really just a simple help.In this regard, the old Dutton felt that he needed to accept this favor.

After exchanging pleasantries with old Dutton, Kai quickly got into work.

Although the Dutton family is not a kind family, the child is innocent after all.That being the case, Kay felt he could help if he could.

According to the process, Kay first asked Monica about the situation before the child disappeared.

Monica also intermittently explained what happened before the child disappeared.

It turned out that Monica and Keith had a falling out before, and Keith was not allowed to approach their son Tate, but the old Dutton wanted to be intimate with his grandson, which even Monica could not stop. Dun rides a horse and proposes that he also wants a horse of his own.Old Dutton was not surprised, the Dutton family already had cowboy blood.He told his grandson that as long as Case agreed, he would buy a foal, but the condition was that Tate would help clean the stables, clean the barn, and be responsible for feeding and drinking the foal.

Little Tate immediately agreed.

So Monica's family has an extra foal.After Tate had dinner yesterday, because of an agreement with his grandfather, Tate went to the stables alone to feed the fodder.Although Monica had a little prejudice against the Dutton family, she felt that her son's ability to take care of the pony as agreed would be good for his growth, so she didn't stop her.But as time went by, Tate didn't come back after waiting and waiting. Monica went out to look for Tate, only to see the foal wandering alone outside the stable, and little Tate disappeared.

"Have you found any traces?" Kay continued.

This time it was Case who said, "We've looked for it. There was a blizzard last night, and the footprints were buried."

Kai nodded and said to Old Dutton: "Do you have any enemies in your family?"

Old Dutton was taken aback when he asked this question, enemy?Then someone said, their family is full of enemies.But almost instantly, old Dutton thought of someone—Thomas!

Things have been pretty rough for Thomas lately.The two inexplicable blames in succession made him basically make enemies on all sides. What's more, the old Dutton knew very well that those messes had nothing to do with Thomas, and it was completely framed by him unilaterally.And he knew it, Thomas knew it too.

Well, now that my grandson is missing, who is the biggest suspect?

"Thomas!"

Old Dutton gritted his teeth and said.

Upon hearing this, without further ado, Case picked up his gun and walked out.Now the Indians quit.This is a reserved place!Besides, the Indians have their own rules of conduct. Thomas can be the chief because he did not rely on inheritance, nor is it the old society. The Indians also keep pace with the times, okay? They have their own management committee, and their chiefs are elected , although tenure.But how can a candidate become chief if he can't convince the crowd?
What is the chief doing?It is a position for the welfare of all Indians, although from the outside world, the Indian community is actually no different from the local society, and the local Indian leader is equal to the boss.To treat the same race, the chief must provide the most basic protection.

Tate's mother is an Indian. He was born and raised on an Indian reservation. In the eyes of most Indians, he is an Indian.Even if Thomas was an asshole, he wouldn't use Tate to threaten old Dutton, because that violated the rules of the Indians.

Now Case looked like he was going to kill Thomas, no wonder the other Indians were capable.It is not yet the white man's turn to run wild on the reservation.

Monica's brother was the first to stand up and block Case, apparently intending to teach Case a lesson and let him know where this is.As a result, before he could speak, he felt a pain in his abdomen, and then he spun and lay down on the ground. Just as he was about to raise his head, Case's gun was already on his head.

Seeing the situation, the other Indians immediately pulled out their guns and aimed at Case. At this time, they were separated. Whites will always be whites, and Indians will always be Indians.Case has lived on the reservation for ten years, but he is still an outsider.

"Go away, Thomas is the only one I'm looking for!"

Case looked at those Indians with red eyes, some of them were his friends, but Case couldn't care so much now.

"No! Case, stop! Stop!"

As with all 'Romeo and Juliet' romances, Monica is torn between family and lover.Especially after she knew that her brother was killed by Case, and her brother also killed Case's elder brother, she suffered even more...

This is why Monica wants to stay away from Case.

At this time, Kai walked up to Case's side and patted him on the shoulder. "I guess it wasn't the chief who did it."

The reason why Kai said this was that on the one hand, he didn’t want to intensify the conflict, and on the other hand, Kai also felt that it didn’t seem like the Indian chief did it.

Not because Kay thought Thomas was a good guy.

The word "good guy" has nothing to do with those upper class Indians.The upper class of Indians has long been corrupted. This may be a strategy of the US government. Anyway, the upper class and the lower class of Indians are now completely two classes.

Relying on the preferential treatment from the government, the upper class of Indians have already made a lot of money, and even dare to intervene in any business, let alone casinos, there are many drug dealers.But when it comes to dealing with them, the U.S. government is more cautious. Generally, as long as there is no major trouble, the government will ignore it.It's a bit like ancient China's policy of restraining local chieftains. As long as you don't come out to cause trouble, you can do whatever you want on your territory.

Say they are good people?Even idiots don't believe it.

Kay just felt that Thomas was not an idiot.Right now, because of the two incidents in succession, Thomas is already exhausted.Now if the kidnapping of children breaks out, let alone Thomas is just an elected chief, he is the father of all the Indians and he can't handle it!

To make money, the U.S. government is absolutely turning a blind eye to these Indian chiefs, but it can’t do anything, and it’s such a drastic method, the rules of the game need to be changed, if every Indian chief does this, Then why do we need the government?Simply all Indians count independently.

The Dutton family is not ordinary people, it is a big family that has been entrenched in Minnesota for hundreds of years and has been run by four generations!Properly powerful class with huge energy.After being bullied by old Dutton twice before, many people have already dissatisfied with Thomas. If it happens again, Thomas will be finished.

Kay explained the reason, and old Dutton calmed down.Like Kay said, Thomas wasn't that stupid.

"It's true that I didn't do this." It was also a coincidence that Thomas actually walked in at this time.

Except for his skin color and appearance, Thomas doesn't look like an Indian at all, but looks like a white Wall Street elite.He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, neatly and exquisitely, without any national flavor like other Indians.

Seeing Thomas, Case rushed towards him with red eyes, but within two steps, an Indian gunman with two big braids put a gun on his forehead.But Case didn't back down, but instead pointed his gun at Thomas.

The chief was quite kind, turning a blind eye to Case's muzzle and just looking at old Dutton.The other Indians also raised their guns again, and Rip and the cowboys were naturally not to be outdone.

"Ahem, I said... there is a policeman standing here! Can you show some respect?" Kai was very upset with this group of troublemakers. He was also a policeman, but from beginning to end, this group of people seemed to be As if he didn't exist, he would draw his gun whenever he wanted.

The Indian glanced at Kai indifferently, not caring at all.Old Dutton, on the other hand, was better at being a man. He waved his hand and asked the cowboy to put down the gun.Case was also brought back by Ripra.

"The police officer is right, I didn't do it. John, you won't blame me for this too? That's your grandson!"

"You!" Case thought Thomas was threatening them.

"Ahem, Keith, I think what Thomas means is that if you really believe that Thomas did this, then it is even more impossible for the real mastermind behind the scenes to let Tate go." Kai thinks that on this point, Keith, It was very badly done.If a soldier cannot control his temper and keep himself calm at all times, then he is not a qualified soldier.Although it is a bit unreasonable to say so, being angry and angry will not solve any problems.

Old Dutton understood what Kay meant.

"You mean...Thomas didn't do this thing, on the contrary, it was very likely that Thomas' enemy did it?"

"It is indeed very possible. Anyway, if it were me, I would do it. It only needs to kidnap a child, so that the Dutton family can completely fight with Chief Thomas, and the public opinion and the situation can completely turn to Dutton. Family, it doesn’t take much effort to solve Chief Thomas, I don’t think anyone will refuse, right?”

"That's right! That's what I mean. You know if I did the two things before. If you frame this thing on me now, it won't be the Dutton family who will benefit." Thomas appreciated it very much He glanced at Kai, thinking that this is the smart person.

Old Dutton was also very decisive. After thinking about everything, he immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother Baker!"

Prior to this, Thomas bought a land from a real estate agent named Daniel from a bank loan, and this land was on the edge of Dutton Farm.Thomas will work with Daniel to build a high-end hotel on this land to match the casino.Thomas' ambition has aroused the vigilance of some people, that is, the Baker brothers, who also run casinos.The Baker brothers don't like the Indian tribe's disguised expansion of reservations, and they don't like new casinos to compete for business.

So he threatened the real estate developer Daniel a few days ago, but Daniel had Thomas behind him, so he didn't care about the Baker brothers at all.Daniel sneered at the warnings of the two, and even spoke rudely.Daniel got in trouble for his stupidity, not knowing that the eldest of the Baker brothers was the head of the Minnesota Liquor Authority.The next day, all of Daniel's applications to sell alcohol would be withdrawn.The only way to get out of trouble is to cancel the agreement with Thomas and turn to the Baker brothers' casino.

Later, at Thomas’ Paint Horse Casino Hotel, the Baker brothers unscrupulously demanded that the slot machines in the casino must be obtained through the rental company of the two brothers in the face of tribal lawyers and committee members.Otherwise, the contractors, the community, including Daniel and Dutton farms, will become trouble for Thomas to build a casino.But Thomas, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was not intimidated, and even severely humiliated the Baker brothers because of their backs and reservations.

After that, there was a crisis at Dutton Farm. The farm was put on poisonous pasture, and hundreds of cattle died at once.This is also one of the reasons why the conflict between the Thomas and Dutton families has completely intensified.

Then the Dutton family started to fight back through Kay's informant, and Thomas was out of luck.During these days, the Baker brothers have often made troubles worse.

But Thomas now told Dutton Sr. that he had never tampered with the ranch.

Speaking of it, Thomas and the Dutton family really don't have any major enmity, it can be said that it is a dispute of emotions. Thomas wants to redeem the land that was taken away decades ago, while the Dutton family does not want to sell the land. This is enough. If it wasn't for Thomas to go to assassinate and kidnap, it would be fine if the business matter could not be resolved commercially.The same is true for Old Dutton. If the ranch hadn't been poisoned, he wouldn't have played tricks with Thomas.

On the contrary, the conflict with the Baker Brothers is even greater. Both of them run casinos, and their peers are enemies!
Hearing Thomas' confession, Old Dutton remembered that the Baker Brothers had indeed approached Old Dutton before, and wanted to join forces with him to deal with Thomas.

But the old Dutton never thought of joining hands with the Baker brothers, but after Thomas reminded him, he understood one thing.The Baker brothers did things unscrupulously. It is likely that they planted alfalfa in order to frame Daniel and Thomas, start a war, and profit from it.

But right now, this is all for later. The most important thing for them is to find Tate!
In order to reconcile with the old Dutton, Thomas reconciled with the old Dutton. At most, he did not buy the land of the old Dutton's family and gave up opening a new casino around the old Dutton's land. (This involves land tax. If Thomas runs a casino next to the old Dutton’s land, it will increase the value of the surrounding land together. According to US law, the land tax is collected according to the value of the land. Once the casino and the community completed, which means that the Dutton family will have to pay tens of millions of dollars more in land taxes)

Thomas can completely change the land, but there is no way to reconcile the conflict between him and the Baker brothers.If Thomas wants to grow, he will definitely offend these two brothers.

In this way, under the arrangement of Thomas, the Indians also joined the ranks of looking for the child.

On the dirt road at the edge of the reservation, two fresh tire tracks were found.Along the track, Jamie found one of Tate's boots, and watched Monica slumped on the ground, crying.

Case looked at Kais. Although Kais didn't say much before, he gained the trust of many people. At least the members of the Dutton family believed him more than Indians and useless policemen.The same goes for Thomas.

"I think I need to pull my dog ​​out," Kay said, looking at the kid's shoes.
