At this time, the Reign of Terror has reached its peak, and the candidate for deacon in the meeting has been determined to be McMurdo, who is expected to succeed McGinty as the next leader. Now, all the people under McMurdo must do whatever they do.

Listen to his advice, and no one will act without his instructions and suggestions. However, as his reputation among the Freemen increased, the hatred of the people on Vermissal Street towards him also increased.

The people are determined to face the threat of the reign of terror and unite to resist the rulers who oppress them. Although the Die-Kool Party got the news of the secret gathering in the Herald and distributed weapons to the people, McGinty and his

His subordinates did not pay attention to this matter. Because McGinty had many subordinates, each of whom was bold and careful, and equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment; while the civilians were powerless, with crude weapons and no strict organizational leadership.

It was a mess. So McGinty and McMurdo looked down upon the people who resisted. They decided that this was just the same as before, a group of helpless weaklings struggling in boredom and ultimately ending in frustration.

Usually every Saturday night, the Die-Kools held a rally. It was a Saturday night in May, and Brother Morris came to visit just as McMurdo was about to get up for the meeting. Morris was usually called

He was called a "coward", but at this moment, his brows were furrowed, his face was full of sorrow, and his kind expression was replaced by haggardness.

"Mr. McMurdo, may I have a casual chat with you?" "Of course."

"There is one thing that I have always remembered deeply in my heart. It was that time when I confided my deepest secrets to you. Even if the leader asked me personally, you did not reveal a word."

"Since you choose to trust me, of course I cannot let you down. But this does not mean that I agree with your opinion."

"I understand this. Only when I am with you can I speak my mind with complete confidence. Today, I have something to say in my heart." He folded his hands on his chest and continued: "This matter

It makes me very anxious. I hope that I can survive, and I am even willing to let it happen to any of you. If I say it, it will definitely lead to murder; if I don't say it, it may cause us

Everyone is in trouble. God, please save me, I really don’t know what to do!”

McMurdo poured a glass of whiskey for the trembling man, looked at him sincerely and said, "This is the most effective medicine for you at the moment. Have a glass of wine and talk slowly!"

Morris drank the wine in one gulp, his face gradually regained some rosiness, and then said: "Actually, the matter is very simple. It can be explained clearly in one sentence, that is, there are already detectives tracking us."

McMurdo looked surprised.

"What? You guys are crazy!" McMurdo calmed down his tone a little, and then said, "Don't the police and detectives patrol this area all year round? Why do you suddenly say that you are targeting us?"

"It's different this time. They are people from out of town. As you said, we all know these local police and detectives. They can't do anything. But, have you ever heard of the Pinkerton detectives?"

"Well, there are a few familiar names."

"Well, let me tell you this, don't take their investigation lightly. This is not some casual government agency. They are very serious and full of wisdom. They must investigate every case to the end and do everything possible to find out the results.

, otherwise we will never give up. If Pinkerton's detectives start investigating us, it will be very dangerous for us."

"Then we must kill him." McMurdo said in surprise.

"I have said before that if I say it, it will definitely trigger a murder. If you have already thought of this, then bring it up at the meeting!" Morris shrugged helplessly and said to him.

"Well, okay. Killing someone in this place is nothing, it won't attract any attention at all."

"That's true. But I really don't want to kill anyone. I will never be able to live peacefully. But if I don't kill him, all of our lives will be threatened. God, what should I do?" Morris

Because of hesitation, he shook his body back and forth, with a look of pain on his face.

McMurdo was deeply moved by his words. It could be seen that McMurdo agreed very much with Morris's approach to the crisis. They must solve it. McMurdo patted Morris's shoulder enthusiastically to express comfort.

"Listen, friend!" McMurdo's voice became even louder with excitement as he continued, "You can't just sit here and cry like an old lady. This won't solve the problem. Let's analyze together who this detective is.

?Where is he now? Where did you hear about him? Why did you come to me if something happened?"

"I came to you because you were the only one who could give me advice. Do you remember that I once told you that before I came here I ran a store in the West? I have many friends there, one of whom is at the telegraph office

A friend at work sent me a letter yesterday. The letter is very clear. Take a look at this page for yourself!"

McMurdo took the letter and read line by line:

What's the situation with the Die-Kool Party over there now? I've seen a lot of reports about the Die-Kool Party in the newspapers. You know I care about you very much and hope to hear from you soon. It is said that many places are starting to deal with this issue seriously.

There has been something going on, including 5 limited companies and two railway bureaus. Now that they have begun to work, you have to be prepared for their arrival. Because they have to directly participate in the investigation and have assigned Burke from Pinkerton Detective Company

Erdy Edward takes on this important task. This man is very powerful and has the ability to completely stop these evil things from happening.

"You should also read the postscript of the letter!" Morris said, pointing to the telegram.

Of course, what I told you is only what I learned in my daily business work, not very detailed. They encrypted the information, and I can't understand those strange and complicated passwords.

McMurdo kept the letter in his hand and sat quietly for a long time without making a sound, because at this time he was thinking about the confusing fog in his mind and could not calm down for a long time.

"No one else knows about this?" McMurdo asked Morris.

"No, I only told you one person."

"But is it possible that your friend also wrote to other people?"

"Well...he should know a few people." "Are they also from the club?"

"It's possible."

"I ask because if we could find out from him what Bertie Edward looked like, it would be easy to follow his trail."

"There is no problem with this, but I think he doesn't know Edward. Because he also got this news while working, so he probably doesn't know this Pinkerton detective at all."

McMurdo suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Oh God! I have to catch this man. I am so stupid that I don't even know about this. But we can kill him before he does it, so we still think so."

Lucky one. Ah, Maurice, are you comfortable leaving this matter to me?"

"Of course, don't worry, as long as you stay clean and don't drag me down, that's fine."

"Leave it to me completely, and I will definitely get it done. Just treat this letter as if it was written to me. I will do it alone and will not mention your name at all.

Are you satisfied with this?"

"Very well, that's exactly what I thought."

"Then let's end the conversation today! You have to remember not to say a word to anyone. Now I'm going to the rally, and you'll soon hear the news that we've dealt with Detective Kippington."

"Will you kill him?"

"Dear Maurice, the less you know, the safer it is. It's better not to ask too many questions. Go back and have a good sleep! Now leave all this matter to me. You can just listen to the news at home."

Before leaving, Morris sighed with a sad face and said, "I feel like my hands are covered in his blood."

"Actually, we can't count it as murder at all, it's self-defense at best." McMurdo smiled ferociously and said, "If we don't kill him, he will threaten our lives. We can't let him stay in the valley for a long time.

Then we will all be killed by him. Ah, dear Maurice, you have saved all the members of our Deadly Cool Party, and we will elect you as our leader."

Although McMurdo said so, his actions clearly showed that he was seriously thinking about the news he had received. Maybe he lacked confidence; maybe it was because of the prominent reputation of the Pinkerton detective organization; maybe he was afraid of those plans.

A huge and wealthy limited company that eliminated the die-hard party members... But no matter what the reason was, he had already prepared for the worst. After he burned all the written materials that would be implicated in the criminal case, he felt a little better

Safe and relaxed, he breathed a long sigh of relief and left home for the meeting. However, he still felt vaguely dangerous and uneasy in his heart, so on the way to the branch, he stopped in front of the old Shafter's house. Although

Shafter had expressly forbidden to show that McMurdo was not welcome, but McMurdo still knocked lightly on the window. After Eddie heard the sound, he came out to greet her lover. Different from the previous cruel expression, his eyes showed

Extraordinary seriousness, revealing a dangerous signal.

"Oh my God, Jack, what happened to you?" Eddie shouted, "You must have been in some danger, what happened?"

"Yes, dear, I have encountered some things, but they are not as bad as I thought. I plan to move before things get worse. This is the wisest choice at the moment."

"Really moving?"

"Do you remember? I promised you before that I would definitely leave here, and I think it's time to leave now. I just got bad news that something trouble is going to happen."

"Are the police looking for trouble?"

"Yes, it's a detective, Pinkerton's detective. But, dear, don't ask too specific questions, and there is no need to know the details. I will take on this matter myself, but I promise that the problem will be solved soon.

You once told me that if I left, you would leave with me."

"Jack, you will be saved by doing this."

"Eddie, you know I am honest. Your body is so beautiful. I will never hurt you in the slightest. You are like sitting on a throne made of gold, like a goddess floating in the clouds. I look up to your charming body every day.

You may look good, but I will never drag you down even one centimeter from your throne. Do you believe these words?"

Eddie didn't speak, but held McMurdo's hand affectionately. "Okay. Then, please do as I say, because this is our only way out. Something big will definitely happen in the valley.

, all of us must be prepared to deal with it, no matter what, I need to be prepared, if I leave this place, you have to follow me no matter what!"

"Jack, don't worry, I'll definitely be there shortly."

"No! No! You have to go with me. If I leave here, I can never come back to the valley. And in order to avoid the police, we can't even write letters to each other. You have to go with me, I

I can't leave you here alone. Let's go to the place where I stayed before. There is a very good lady there. You can settle there for the time being, and then we will get married, okay? You come with me!"

"Okay, Jack. I'll go with you."

"Thank you Eddie, for trusting me so much. God will bless you. Even if I am a ghost who escaped from hell, I will never betray your trust in me. Listen, Eddie, as long as you

When you receive the note from me, you have to immediately put down everything you are doing and go to the waiting room of the station to wait for me."

"Okay, Jack, no matter day or night, as long as I receive your note, I will go over and meet you immediately."

After making preparations to leave, McMurdo felt a little more relaxed. When he arrived at the meeting place, many people had gathered there. He answered the code as usual and passed through the heavily guarded perimeter and the interior.

Strictly scrutinized guards. As soon as he entered the room, McMurdo received a warm welcome. In the rectangular room filled with people, he could see the messy long black hair of the leader McGinty through the smoke. Baldwin

With a ferocious and cold expression on his face, Secretary Haraway's vulture-like face, and more than a dozen small leaders of the branch. Seeing them all here, McMurdo was very happy, and he could discuss this news with them.

solutions.

Chief McGinty stood up and shouted to him: "Dear brother McMurdo, we are really happy to see you! We just need a just Solomon to judge this difficult matter."

After McMurdo sat down, the person next to him immediately explained to him: "It's like this. Rand and Egan went to Stiles Town and shot Old Man Crabbe together, but they don't know who shot him. Now.

The two of them are competing for the branch's bounty, what do you think we should do?"
