"You're welcome, just met, the killer should be dead, but I didn't hit him in the head." 'said Henry."That rifle you just had?" Garfield asked curiously."Magic." Henry smiled.Fifteen guards poured out of the building.William had gathered his strength and commanded, "Charlie and Daniel, you go check the killer. If he's dead, don't touch him. Melham, you tell Tom to come check him. Simon, you tell Dr. Baker to come and treat the guard."Then he turned to Garfield and Henry and said, "Garfield and Henry, let's go up to the second floor for tea and wait for the results of their investigation."Garfield whispered a few words to the uninjured guard, telling him to go about his business, and then smiled and nodded at Henry.They followed William into the building.The afternoon here in the affluent neighborhood was relatively quiet, with few other people watching from close quarters in the hours before and after the shooting.The three of them settled into chairs in the loggia on the sec
"Have you three been following me? Twenty-four hours?""No, there will be a change of people when you go back to the Astor Hotel to rest. We will be there from eight o 'clock in the morning until you return to the hotel in the evening.""How do I change it?""When you return to the hotel, we will leave, and naturally there will be colleagues to follow up.""How can you tell them apart? Where do you usually spy on me near the Astor Mansion?""We knew a lot of each other, usually in the shadows of the alleys across from the hotel or nearby.""To be more specific, where in the vicinity of the hotel were you three watching me?""Yes."When Henry had heard this, and asked him some more information about the Pincotton Detective Agency of New York itself, he gave him a clean wipe on the throat with a dagger to make room for him.By now the coach should have returned to the Astor's Hotel, and the next watch should have noticed that Henry was not on board, nor had any of his colleagues from th
Henry soon learned that a telegram had been sent from Pinkerton's Chicago headquarters asking him to cooperate with nine operatives sent by the Black Market.Four of the nine have arrived -- now lying in the building's intelligence center, and five more will arrive today at the apartment where Henry had just been.The first and second rooms on the left hand are reserved for them.Henry asked Alston more about Pinkerton's Chicago headquarters and its bosses.When that was over, and before Alston could ask him anything, Henry put the wet towel over his nose and mouth again.Henry then opened the secret compartment of the master's room and took away $12,000, 1,000 ounces of gold bars and five land deeds.By this time, Alston had realized that this should be Henry, but his mouth was blocked, and he could only whine and sweat.Henry was in a good mood and pulled back the towel to see what he wanted to say.'You're Mr. Henry, aren't you? I have no intention of fighting you. Orders from head
After getting off the bus, he asked Leon to follow the carriage back to the hotel, and then Henry walked five or six hundred meters down the avenue in the direction of Midtown, then turned back and walked back to where he had just gotten off the bus, and then turned back to the direction of Midtown.All the way Henry's keen eyes were watching to see if anyone was following him.Feeling fine, Henry walked on for a few hundred meters, then glanced back around.When he felt sure it was OK, he quickly turned into an alley, quickly changed his shirt, hat, handlebar mustache and beard, and then walked out of the alley and took a cab to Apartment 396 in Midtown, where he had been the night before.Meanwhile, Aaron, founder of Chicago's Pincotton Detective Agency, and his eldest son Robert discuss the destruction of the New York office."This time the New York office was destroyed, we lost at least 200,000 dollars, Robert, what do you think?" Aaron asked."Apparently, it was the arsonist who
"In addition, I just went to the front landing point to try again, still no response, it is likely that the other six people plus the initial reception personnel have been killed.""We would have arranged for some of them to infiltrate the Van Bilt Estate as receptionists, but that is out of the question now."'I've decided to stick to the plan, and tomorrow we'll go around the farm and look for suitable shooting points, and shoot them at a distance. What do you think, Jim and John?'Jim and John looked at each other, and Jim said, "No problem. You're the captain. I follow your orders."'We've all had more difficult times,' said John, 'and the more difficult it is, the more we'll kill Henry -- if he's the one who's doing all the work for our mates and for Alston.'Jacob grinned and said, "Then we will go to Van Bilt Hill early tomorrow morning to choose the ambush point, then Jim is responsible for the guard, John is responsible for receiving, and I will snipe, and the intelligence gi
When Henry saw that the time was close, he interrupted Robert and asked, "What are you two going to do when you get to Maple Leaf country?"Robert and Rachel looked at each other and said with a wry smile, "I'm not sure yet. I hear it's going really well there. Let's go see if there's a good opportunity."Henry thought for a moment, glanced at Rachel, who was staring at him, and slowly said his plan."I'm interested in the bootlegging and cigar business, but I don't have time to get into it just yet.""You and Rachel go to Maple Leaf Country and get well while you're there. Write me or send me a telegram when you get there. I'll contact you for help when I start my bootlegging business.""Then you don't have to worry about Congressman David. I'll talk him down.""It won't be long, so, Mr. Robert, what do you think?"Robert was overjoyed and immediately said, "If there's anything I can do to help, I'd love to."Henry handed the box back to Robert and said, "I'll take this money and lea
The two swordsmen used ebles and wore full costume fencing suits, including a jacket, a breastplate to protect the arms and chest, a mask to protect the head and face, gloves to protect the hands, breeches to protect the lower body, and special fencing shoes.The length of the epee sword is 110 cm, the weight is not more than 770 grams, the length of the sword is 90 cm, and the cross section is approximately triangular.The epee has a stiffer and less flexible body, a larger bell-shaped handguard, and a steel three-diamond blade.The two swordsmen are also masters - smooth and elegant movements, flexible body movements in the light of the sword, each sword with precise calculation and deliberate posture, both full of power and beauty.Henry felt they should have the expert level of LV3.At this time, the husky voice of the aquiline nose sounded shrill again: "These two people are completely misguided, and this sword technique is useless except for a show."The fat old man smiled and s
Abion, 1150 meters away, was just about to shoot when he suddenly noticed the reflection of the opposite scope.That's why he chose this side for the ambush -- it's backlit, and the other side is facing the sun.He immediately realized that someone else was sniping at Henry or someone else, and he forced himself to resist the urge to shoot.Henry's uncanny evasiveness also fell into his eyes.At this point Henry fired two shots, apparently relaxed, Abbyn did not hesitate to pull the trigger!A specially made hexagonal bullet from a Whitworth rifle equipped with a Parker-Hale scope blasted toward Henry's chest at a speed of 455 m/s.Expect to hit target in about three seconds!Henry was about to say something after using a grey bead to restore his health, when he was touched again by the sense of danger and turned his head!By this time, the bullet had traveled for a second and was just over 700 meters away from him.His 10 times normal vision and dynamic vision allowed him to see exac
