After Lin Yao's one-sided statement, Sokoto did not easily believe it, but instead asked someone else for asking again.

Many evidences show that Billy Old is really suspicious and his behavior is the most abnormal among all.

Soon, the people from the detective office were divided into two and went to investigate the whereabouts of Old Billy, leaving two to search for the escaped robbers.

After a week of no gains, the detective office people left, and the gold bar theft case became a unsolved case.

In order to reward them with a heroic deed of fighting the railway robbers, the railway company gave them a reward of 5,000 US dollars.

The dead were given three hundred dollars each, and the living were given one hundred and five dollars, and their deeds were posted on the notice board of the railway station in the form of newspapers.

Overall, it was pretty good. On the eighth day after Hart was killed, five Mounted Police sent by the state legislature arrived.

They will be stationed at the railway station and if the town is attacked, they can arrive in five minutes.

For a time, there were as many as 35 armed guards in Shitou Town, and some northern cities with a population of more than 10,000 did not have such many guards.

"It's been half a month, Hanon doesn't even have a ghost. Are you not going to avenge your brother?"

As time passed day by day, Hanong's revenge never came, which made many people have different thoughts.

They fantasized that Hanon might have given up revenge, which means that they and the town are safe and no longer need so many guards.

Lin Yao noticed this trend. He didn't know where it came from, but he felt that the air was filled with the smell of conspiracy.

"Affected by Hanon, the town's tax revenue has dropped by 60% this month, and businessmen are even more avoiding us."

"Jack, I must remind you that the number of security officers is seriously exceeding the standard, and Stone Town cannot support so many people."

"My tax officer told me that many residents think you are making a big deal and wasting financial and tax revenue, especially when a security officer was drinking and causing trouble in a bar three days ago, it caused a very bad impact."

On the 23rd day after Hart was killed, Tax Officer Sai Villa came to express his dissatisfaction.

His meaning is very simple, reducing the number of security officers makes the town look less nervous.

Not to mention anything else, there are more than a dozen security guards patrolling the streets for a long time. What will you think after you let tourists see it?

They don't think it's safe, but they will think that you are not safe here, so they need so many guards.

Tourists and businessmen have not been to the town for more than ten days. They would rather go to a farther and safer town to do business and travel than to come to Shitou Town to take risks.

"This is not my problem!"

Jack did not agree with the reduction of the guards and shook his head and said, "We agreed before that at least the security plan will not be cancelled before April, it is only mid-February!"

Seravi spread his hands and smiled, "One time and another time, the residents are interested in the moment. They have not seen Hanon's revenge, but only saw your people rampant, and they are as bad as defeated soldiers passing through the border."

"The security guards in the past were all carefully selected elites. They had good reputations and would never make trouble in the bar."

"Look at your men, what are they all, the unemployed vagrants in the town, the down-and-out cowboys, you are too anxious to expand the team and relax the quality. Monkeys can't become human even if they wear human clothes. I think you can take this opportunity to clean them out, and the residents think so too."

Seravi does not represent himself, but people with status in the town, such as farmers, shop owners, and mine owners.

These people believe that the expanded guards not only did not play a role, but became more and more annoying.

The town needs to restore peace and return to its former appearance.

It can't be done like going to war.

"I'll go back and discuss with my deputy sheriff, and I'll give you an answer later."

Jack was undecided and had to send Serravi away first.

Seravi smoked a cigar and turned around and left in one step, muttering: "You are too nervous, Hanon is also a human being, and he will die if he is hit by a bullet. We don't need to be afraid of him."

"I hope!"

Jack smiled perfunctorily, his expression not very pleasant.

After sending off the tax collector, Jack came out of the security office and asked to the guard standing at the door: "Where has our deputy sheriff been?"

The guard replied: "The deputy sheriff went to catch the wanted criminal. Someone found the wanted criminal Horace in the ranch south of the town. He had six lives in San Ankino. San Ankino offered him a reward of $250, which was a big fat fish."

Drive, drive!!

As he was talking, Lin Yao led four security officers to come from a distance, and he was pulling a middle-aged man with a rope behind him.

Turning over and dismounting, Lin Yao pulled the middle-aged man with his hands tied up and pulled him to the public security office, comparing the wanted order posted on the notice board.

After looking at it, he smiled on his face and said jokingly: "Horace, you really deserve to shoot that painter. He painted you so much."

"Isn't it going well?"

Jack walked up and asked.

"It went well. When we found him, he was out of ammunition and was stealing potatoes on the farm. We grabbed him without any effort. To be honest, his performance was not worth $250!"

Lin Yao said, pushing Horace to the guards and added: "Please lock him in a cell, San Ankino's colleagues are willing to exchange him for $250, he is our most precious wealth."

When the guard heard this, he pulled the rope and pulled Horace in like a beast.

"Be gentle, you hurt me!"

Horace shouted rebelliously, and all he received was an old punch.

Watching Horas enter the security office, Lin Yao waved his hand to let the team members disband, and he asked Jack: "What happened? It depends on your bad face."

"It's a bit troublesome. The tax collector came to negotiate with me on behalf of the residents, hoping that we would cut the number of guards. They think that Hanon hasn't come to retaliate for so long and may not come in the future. There is no reason for the town to support so many guards."

Jack seemed a little discouraged and complained: "They don't care whether the town is threatened at all. They only care about how much they earn today and how much they can earn tomorrow, and whether the money they earn this month is less than last month."

Lin Yao was also helpless and sighed: "This is how the little citizens can only see the present and cannot see the future. By the way, how did you answer?"

"I said I would discuss it with you and give them a reply after some time."

"Okay, I'll go eat something first, let's discuss it tonight."

Lin Yao has been out for a day and has eaten in the morning for the meal. He drank some water in the middle of the journey. He was so hungry that he was already very hungry.

After saying that, he walked towards the restaurant in the town, and was still thinking about whether he should leave if he was sure to cut the guards.

The gold theft case has come to an end, and Hanon's attack has not arrived for a long time.

He stayed in the town as if he was wasting his time, and he should have taken that batch of gold and brought his family to a larger city to develop.

24 gold bars can be sold in the black market for 12,000 US dollars.

It is equivalent to one million and two million dollars in later generations, which is enough for him to do what he wants to do.

Bang!!

Before I could reach the restaurant, a strange noise came from behind me.

Looking back, Horace, who had just been arrested by him, was rushing out of the security center with a revolver. As for the guards who took him to the prison cell, no one knew.

It can be imagined that with the guard's revolver in his hand, the guard's fate would not be very good.

Bang bang!!

In Lin Yao's look back, Sheriff Jack, who was about to draw his gun, fell to the ground after two gunshots.

Horace had a hideous smile on his face. After knocking down Sheriff Jack, he quickly kidnapped a hostage and shouted: "Don't shoot, or I'll kill her! Don't think I'm joking, look at the wanted order. I have six lives on my hands, and I'm a villain who kills without blinking!"
