America 1881: Legend of the West

At noon the next day, Holiday and Li Sifu rushed to Chen Jianqiu's residence and told Chen Jianqiu the news of Walker's death.

In the study, Chen Jianqiu was looking down at the information about Tammany Hall and the Five Points Gang that Holiday had brought.

Just as he judged.

Tammany Hall was nominally a public welfare organization, but it was actually a tool used by the Democratic Party to control New York City.

They used some small favors to stabilize the Democratic Party's base among the civilian population, and used gangs to control downtown and do some dirty work for them.

Cartman watches the gangs fight among themselves and provides them with appropriate shelter.

This gave him firm control of the Lower City.

To put it more bluntly, Cartman may be the biggest gangster in New York.

"I think it was done by people from the Five Points Gang." Holiday expressed his opinion, "These people wanted to kill people and silence them."

"It's a pity that the clue has been broken again." Li Sifu looked at Chen Jianqiu, "Boss, what should we do next?"

Chen Jianqiu closed the pile of information.

Only a piece of paper was left on the table.

"Go to Five O'Clock and catch some people alive." He stood up and tapped the paper on the table with his finger.

There was a blurry black and white headshot photo printed on the paper. The person in the photo had a sinister face and a fierce look.

Butcher, Derek Randall.

The man who chopped up Torio's corpses for dog food.

New York, downtown, slaughterhouse.

Two men wearing New York police uniforms appeared at the gate of the slaughterhouse.

It was almost evening.

Workers began to come out of the slaughterhouse one after another.

The reason why they get off work so early is not because the factory owner is kind-hearted, but because even if the meat is slaughtered, it cannot be sold at the current market price.

Bosses would rather rotten meat and feed it to rats on the street than give it to civilians who can't afford it.

The workers who came out looked at the two men in police uniforms with strange eyes.

It's not for any other reason than that the police rarely want to come to such a place.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask why we wear this outfit."

When no one was around, Li Sifu pulled the police badge on his chest and asked Holiday next to him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Are you sure Randall won't run away when he sees our clothes?"

"Just because he is a policeman, he won't run away." Holiday checked his pockets calmly, "If the Five Points Gang were afraid of the police, would they still kill Walker?"

"You mean, they will also plan to kill us?" Li Sifu was stunned for a moment.

"It's possible, and we try not to use guns around here," Holiday said. "If the gun goes off, we might not be able to get out of downtown."

"Sigh~"

Li Sifu adjusted his hat and put it on his head again.

The two waited at the door for a long time, but no one with the body shape and appearance in the information showed up.

"Did we miss it?" Li Sifu was a little unsure.

Holiday took his hands out of his pockets.

"Let's go in and have a look," he said.

Two people walked into the slaughterhouse one after another.

The sanitary environment in the slaughterhouse is really not good.

The ground was stained and wet with blood, and rats scurryed around on the ground from time to time.

"The meat you usually eat comes from here." Holliday pointed around and said to Li Sifu.

"You're not clean, you won't get sick after eating it." Li Sifu spread his hands.

The door to the workshop has been closed, only a small side door is open.

The two people walked in along the side door.

The light in the workshop was extremely dim, with only the light from the west shining in from the glass on the top of the workshop.

The winter sunset was already soft and weak, but after being filtered through the glass, it became even weaker.

Holiday and Li Sifu groped in the dark and walked toward the inside of the workshop.

Just as they turned around a steel column of the factory building, suddenly, a sharp sound of metal colliding and scratching against each other came from the room inside.

Holiday and Li Sifu looked at each other.

Someone is inside.

Holiday and the two had no intention of hiding their whereabouts.

They went inside.

A muscular man stood there.

He was wearing a dirty leather apron and held a boning knife in his right hand and a metal sharpening rod in his left.

The blade of the boning knife rubbed repeatedly against the sharpening rod, making a harsh sound.

In front of him, hanging upside down, was a cow that had been cut open.

It seemed that the butcher planned to remove all the meat from the bones of the cow.

"Are you Derek Randall?" Holiday walked up.

The man turned around and looked at the two people in police uniforms with an indifferent expression.

"I am, who are you? I seem to have never seen you before."

"My name is Dennis, his name is Wang Daqing, Chief Walker committed suicide, and we will be in charge of this area from now on," Holiday said.

Hearing that it was someone from the police station, Randall seemed to relax his vigilance a little.

He didn't want to talk to these two "policemen", so he turned around and began to pick the meat on his own.

"Is it time for you to pay your monthly payment this month?" Holiday said to attract the butcher's attention while winking at Li Sifu.

Li Sifu looked around the workshop inadvertently, and at the same time, taking the opportunity, he quietly walked around to the side of Randall.

"The money has been given to Walker." Randall picked the meat skillfully and replied expressionlessly.

"Walker's money is Walker's money, and what's ours is ours." Holiday acted "arrogantly" like a New York policeman, "I don't care about your damn things."

The knife in Randall's hand stopped.

The veins on his temples throbbed.

But soon, his knife continued to slice between the bones and meat of the cow.

"Then you should go find our boss." The butcher's voice gradually became colder.

"Then I have to say sorry to you." Holiday patted his police badge, "I can only let you come with me once."

No warning, no warning.

The butcher suddenly turned around, waved the boning knife in his hand, and stabbed Holiday.

The knife was fast and accurate, going straight to the "doctor's" heart.

When Holiday was in the West, he was known for his accurate marksmanship and good movement. Both he and Wyatt were famous for their dodge skills.

When he was talking just now, his attention had been on the butcher's hand holding the knife.

Even so, Holliday turned sideways to avoid the blow, and his clothes got a big gash from the sharp boning knife.

Li Sifu, who was on the side, had already jumped up and ran towards the butcher's hand holding the knife.

This kick was truly passed down by Chen Jianqiu. It drew an arc from bottom to top and hit the target.
