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

"Henry, I saw you today with a sword and a marksmanship without equal in the world. You must have a unique gift, right?" "Asked Arlin, who looked about forty."Yes, that's true. I'm better at that." Henry admitted."So, did you really single-handedly almost completely destroy the James and Younger gangs?" Railroad tycoon Dewey hated railroad robbers."Of course, Jesse and Frank threatened the lives of several of Miss Consuelo, and I had to let him go."Anyone who has seen Henry's action will be amazed at his skill. Thank you again for saving me, Henry." Garfield raised his glass."You're welcome." Henry also raised a toast."Oh? What's going on? Can you tell me?" Lieutenant Governor Levi was very interested.You know, Garfield has a real shot at being the next president."At the time it was." Garfield was happy to make Henry famous.After all, he had little to offer Henry if he could not be elected president.This kind of group chat, just exchange information and ideas, nothing too sp

Henry spoke to Leon and got into his carriage and drove in the direction of Astor's Hotel.When they got to the beach, the Van Bilt family arranged a boat to take their guests across the sea to Manhattan at night.The Brooklyn Bridge connecting Manhattan to Long Island was still under construction, and it was necessary to take a boat back to New York City.After a dozen minutes of walking, Henry got off in the middle of nowhere, and Leon told the coachman to continue back towards the Astor's Hotel.Henry went to a shadowy corner of the road, changed into a newsboy hat, canvas blue shirt, jeans, and work boots, put on two beards, pulled out a quarter horse, and headed toward Grand Central Station at 42nd Street in Midtown.He had known for two days that there was a freight train leaving New York for Chicago at 1:05 a.m.Henry arrived near the station at about 1:30 a.m. He picked up his horse in a deserted corner and walked toward the station, two hundred meters away.At one o 'clock in

In the unfamiliar environment, Henry chose to use two green beads with halo and one white bead one by one.As Henry focused his thoughts on using a green bead with a halo, he was suddenly surrounded by a warm atmosphere that appeared out of thin air.Henry found that he was naturally very sensitive to the emotions of others, and surprisingly intuitive, and easily judge the true emotions of others, especially malice towards others.Two minutes later, Henry woke up and found that he had a gift for intuition - the instinct to detect the true emotions of others, especially malice.Intuitive LV1 to LV2 requires the energy of 400 gray beads.Talent warning allows Henry to detect the other side's intentions and actions in advance.The natural intuition can detect malice instinctively, which greatly supplements Henry's ability to prevent danger, and plays a great role in his communication with people.Henry wondered if he had just killed a so-called master.Delighted, Henry went on to use ano

Henry was in no hurry to open the information center. He first rushed to the fourth floor, where there was also an iron door at the landing.Henry loaded his special Sharps 1874 rifle and did the same.In a minute or so, Henry consumed the bodies of the last two sentinels and also knocked down all ten guards on the fourth floor.Henry hurried down to the third floor and walked to the front door of the information center. He took out his master key and spent more than a minute opening the iron and wooden doors. Then he was struck by the rows of files on the iron shelves inside, as well as the large number of filing cabinets.But Henry now has about 19 cubic meters of space, similar to how later generations can bundle and compress these documents into vacuum packaging.The files look spectacular, but iron shelves, filing cabinets and other stationery and spare space take up most of the space.Files may not even take up 5% of the space.He released the remaining 45 barrels of 50 liters o

Nothing else mattered. Henry walked out of the gate, pulled out a quarter horse, and headed for the Pincotten headquarters building in the Loop district of the city center.Now there is about 15 cubic meters of storage space, which is almost enough.But to be safe, Henry turned into the woods by the side of the road and spent about half an hour opening three safes from the black market center and extracting their contents.Without an immediate inventory, Henry recollected the empty safe and moved on.Just over half an hour later, at 1:49 a.m., Henry arrived near his target.The Loop is a circumnavigation area with city Hall, banks, post offices, libraries, art colleges and so on.The Pinkerton headquarters building, which is about 30 meters wide and 50 meters long, is not surrounded by walls, and only has a huge stone box about 20 meters long and eight meters wide in front of the building's gate.It's similar to the New York branch that was destroyed, except the guard post here is a s

When Henry ran up to the fourth floor, he found that all but two rooms were largeOutside, the doors to the rest of the rooms are open.Henry pulled out his Sharps rifle and fired at the door locks of both rooms.After three shots each, the locks on both doors were violently shaken open. Henry ducked into one of the rooms and gathered up a large safe with a base 1.5 meters square and a height of about two meters.Henry then ran to the next room that was opened, and found that this should be Morrison's office.After tapping and hammering for a while, he opened a dark room behind the tapestries and took away a safe one meter square and about two meters high.It took Henry three or four minutes from the time he got upstairs to the time he was done. Henry opened a window facing the back yard, took out a hook and fastened it to the corner of the large, heavy oak desk in the living room, jumped out of the window and began rappelling down.Ten seconds later, Henry was safely down on the grou

Every time Henry fired two shots, he switched positions and fired two more.Three seconds later, Henry emptied three rounds of.44 bullets, knocking out all 32 guards who were not hiding."God, the devil sees us clearly!""This is the devil, God, save your people!""Black, what's the matter with you? Hold on!"In the sound of wailing, Henry pulled out of space two 5-pound TNT cartridges with a 2-second delay, activated them and threw them behind two obstacles a dozen meters away."Boom! Blow out eight guards.Henry went on to throw four more identical TNT packs, blowing up the eighteen guards who were hiding.The guards in the back yard have cleaned up pretty much, in the last minute or so since Henry came out of the warehouse and hit the back yard.About four minutes have passed since Henry walked out of the club door!As Henry searched for the fallen guards in the backyard, he kept an eye on the two stairs to the left and right of the back door.The stairs on the left side near the w

At this time, there was a loud "boom" inside the machine-gun firing mouth, the whole bunker was violently shaken, and the machine gun was suddenly dumb.Henry then takes out two new charge packs, activates them, throws them at the two extended firing holes, and continues!In a super-reactive state, in just one second, Henry activates all nine charges and throws them into the bunker's nine firing holes.Then Henry turned and sprinted to the other side of the bunker at full speed, while using a gray bead to recover his health, before running out six or seven meters, there was a series of loud booms behind him.Under the continuous impact, "boom" a loud noise, the entire left wing of the club bunker all collapsed.After five or six seconds, Henry stops about twenty meters from the club's right wing bunker, pulls out two identical 5-pound charge packs, unleashing his super talent and throwing them at the machine gun blast and a rifle blast beneath it, then continues on to the next round o

Now, in addition to the 40 or so 5-pound TNT packs, Henry only has 1,260 pounds of TNT left, which is not enough to destroy the building.Henry pushed open the oak door on the first floor of the building and entered the great hall.The right side of the first floor is separated by a square 30 meters ×30 meters warehouse, so the mission hall is only about 30 meters ×50 meters.Similar to the structure of the black market in New York, the center of the hall is a huge bar with an oval length of about 20 meters and a width of about 5 meters, and more than 100 sets of wooden tables and chairs are arranged around it, with time compartments on each side.The official entrance to the warehouse is on the right side of the outside of the building, and it is not possible to cross the hall here.It's 10:12 p.m., past peak black-market hours, so there are only 16 people sitting at a dozen tables.The whole hall was hung with twelve gas lamps, which were light enough to see, but not bright enough.

In this day and age, whether it is bootlegging or mining, or any other high-profit industry, without sufficient private force, there is nothing in the future.So Henry decided to take the first step by setting up his own detective agency.At about eight o 'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, Henry packed up all his things, climbed back up the fork of a tree some twenty metres away, and after loading all the Sharps rifles here, continued to look through the intelligence files.The dark clouds in the sky disappeared completely, and a meniscus hung over the sky, and the stars shone.Just after nine o 'clock, Henry's keen sense of hearing told him that a large number of cavalry were about to pass.He gathered up the intelligence file and took out a Sharps 1878 rifle and placed it in the fork of a tree.Ten seconds later, a line of nine knights accompanied by a hard-top two-horse carriage appeared at the corner of the path.Under the summer's starry moon, Henry's sharp gaze

But Aaron still can't get down, every day will still sit in the headquarters, just not involved in the specific affairs, more is to control the direction, he usually around 5 p.m., back to the estate in the western suburbs of Chicago.Robert is a workaholic. If he is not on business, he usually doesn't leave the office until after 9 PM.Henry rode around a few hundred meters to observe, and then chose a thick forest of camphor trees more than seven hundred meters from the road.The view is wide and the distance is far enough that Aaron's guards, who pass by every day, should not have come this far for no reason.It's only a mile or so from Aaron's estate.Basically the only people who can walk down this path are people who live on the estates around here.Henry gathered up his horse, climbed on his hands and knees to the thick branch of a camphor tree more than twenty meters high, and fastened himself firmly to the rope.The other two branches near this tree are particularly suitable
