"Shall I send you to the train station?" Edith Rockefeller didn't seem to hear Sheffield's dissatisfaction, and instead expressed his concern.
"I personally think that before you have a formal divorce, you should leave McCormick a little face." Sheffield refused dryly. "When people treat each other calmly, can't I be too excessive?"
"Coward, I don't regret when I'm carrying weight, I regret it at this time." Edith Rockefeller sneered, but admitted that it makes sense. Although the relationship is not deep, after all, after so many years, the couple should give each other a little. Face, "How long are you going to go?"
"When the psychiatric hospital and the new factory building are completed, we should be back in no more than three months. I want to make an inspection of the environment in the western states." Sheffield considered, "This time is not short, I want to say something in advance. "
When she saw Edith Rockefeller ’s willingness to hear the detailed expression, Sheffield did not hide her thoughts,
I know you like life in a high society, I do n’t care how you communicate, but if McCormick ’s things happen in For me, this matter is definitely not over. I am not your husband. "
Edith Rockefeller thought of Sheffield ’s previous prison story. She still remembered Sheffield ’s first reaction.
I told him that even the husband and wife should be killed together.
Now think of Edith Rockefeller. The boy on the surface is very polite, and the other side is quite terrible. He explained involuntarily, "I did n’t think about you at first, who made you pretend It ’s too much, I really think you can cope with any temptation ... "
"Now you know, you can't cope with it!" Sheffield stood up and walked in front of Edith Rockefeller, staring down at the woman. "Come on, go forward with weight."
Not sure if it was an illusion, Sheffield felt as if the woman was quite honest. Finally it looks like a woman.
From Chicago to the west, according to the train speed in this era that is not much faster than the caravan, Sheffield will travel through the vast Midwest region of the United States in the future. If you use the election map to compare, this vast area is all The basic set of real estate merchants is the red neck area in people's impression.
Dixie refers to the states of the southern United States and the people of the region, and has the opposite meaning of the Yanji people who refer to the people of the northern United States. Of course, the red neck vocabulary has appeared in this era, and it is also a concept proposed by the Democrats for the election. In order to win the voters of the southern states, the Democrats affectionately call those peasant brothers who work all day in the fields and have their necks red. For the red neck.
According to this definition, the farmers in the southern states who support the Democratic Party, plus the vast area west of Chicago, and even the citizens including California, are actually red necks.
The industrial population in the north of the United States has long been a supporter of the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party naturally chose the struggle policy of surrounding the city, and everything is for elections. In this way, an evenly matched situation can be achieved. It is reasonable that it should occupy an overwhelming advantage, but in fact it is not the case. The population of the industrial zone in the United States is much larger than the population of farmers who seem to occupy a larger area.
At least at the end of the nineteenth century, the vast western territories were still an unimportant place for the federal government of the United States. The confrontation between the Yankees and Dixis also masked what the citizens of the Great West thought. However, voters in the Midwest, in this era, still believe more in the Democratic Party, which means that the supporters of the Democratic Party have a slight advantage.
The long journey was supposed to be Sheffield ’s time to recover and replenish the nourishment of the weight-bearing forward. Although it is said that hundreds of millions of big deals are talked about every day, it is still a sense of accomplishment for Rockefeller, but it is always like this The body can't eat too much.
If it is not uncommon to encounter this era, this incident may become a reality for the robbery of the railway system. Because of the sparsely populated environment and the geographical environment of the Midwest, there were still many robbery cases against railway trains in this era, and many robbers carried tens of thousands of dollars in rewards.
"I personally regret the inconvenience caused to me and my bodyguards on this train, and several of them, ah ..." After a long yawn, Sheffield's eyes fell back to being subdued One of the four robbers raised an eyebrow at John Conner, "Too rude, even if it is a robber, how can you lynch it without confirmation? Is this still a society ruled by law?" "
This attitude raised a glimmer of hope in the heart of a robber who bleeds in his hand. Did he meet a rare fool? If he had a choice, he did n’t want his luck to be so bad. He thought it was a routine job. After climbing on a slow train, he robbed from the front to the rear car, and then escaped into the wilderness to disappear. There is no way out of it, no one can take a few of themselves and their brothers.
But who knows that in the high-end car, people who are full of cars are carrying guns, so that they can enjoy the treatment of self-investment?
Now the teenager in front of him raised his hopes of life, at least not to be sent to the police station. In fact, Sheffield really didn't mean to send these poor people to the police station, because there was some trouble.
First of all, his prison is in Texas, and this labor force is obviously not in his own hands. Moreover, he hasn't sorted out the connections in the Midwest, so it's inevitable that he will be delayed in entering the police station.
But now it seems that it must be handed over to the police station again, which is a very bad thing for Sheffield who has always been a low-key man.
"Abusing lynching is illegal, we are all law-abiding citizens!" Sheffield pointed to a bodyguard holding a gun in his hand, and said in a solemn manner, "How do you explain that you have brought so many weapons on the train? This is not for Does Chicago Train Station cause trouble? As a law-abiding citizen, we cannot cause trouble to the country. "
Just when several robbers wanted to applaud, John Connor nodded, "Boss, I understand, I can't trouble the country, the most important thing is that I can't trouble the boss. It's up to me ... "
"Clean it up!" Sheffield said in a double-punch. His eyes fell on the four unlucky eggs. He sighed in my heart that you were unlucky, robber? The dead are my legitimate defense, not to mention that I have never seen you today.
"What are you doing? Do you know that it is illegal to kill?" After being set up by several bodyguards, a few robbers recovered afterwards. These did not seem to want to let them go, but instead. It's like destroying corpses.
"You have to think about it. It's over with the gun to pay some money on the train, and the murder is different."
The robber who was pushed to the link of the carriage twisted his body with a panic in his mouth. He wanted these people in black to think about the consequences of this incident, bang ...
"Why did you meet you today? Obviously you jumped off the car and ran away!" A bodyguard snorted fiercely, kicked the body out of the door of the car with one foot, and said fiercely, "Next ..."
A few minutes later, John Conner went to another car, telling the fact that several robbers were fighting inside, then jumped off the car and ran away, and returned the robbed property to the owner, and finally released the trainman, very well-preserved Dissolves this episode.
"Thank you ..." The trainer wanted to thank John Conner, but saw a little blood on the other's cuff. When he looked up, he met his indifferent eyes and swallowed back the doubt that came to his mouth.
At least before getting on the train, Sheffield never thought that the first stop of his journey was spent in the police station, just before entering a California train station.
After some kind and good communication, the sheriff, who was already full of dollars in her pocket, admired that she sent the party to the car and nodded her head in a gesture of disturb. There is really no way to take these unruly bastards. If the United States is a citizen like a boss, it should be shot when it should be shot ... "
That will inevitably become Gotham City! Sheffield reserved nodded and said that all this should be done. If there is another time, it is also incumbent, and reminded the sheriff where the body was thrown. When the other party finds it, it is natural for a series of railway robberies. With a full stop, the image of a brave and fearless sergeant is ready.
Regarding the model of the police-civilian cooperation, Sheffield stated that he is an ordinary citizen, knowing that one more thing is better than one less, and all the credit belongs to the sheriff who protects the citizens ’property. This can be assured.
"You still have a sense of justice, dear lady!" After the train restarted, Sheffield pulled a female trainee who was certainly not twenty years old, and sincerely praised, "I don't know if I can know you? Where is the lady?" people."
"Oh, Los Angeles, it was such a coincidence, I happened to go there too!" Sheffield clapped his hands to show that we were really destined. "This person is very polite to everyone, especially to you. Beautiful lady, rest assured, I will never hurt you, I even think you are such a justice girl, it ’s a pity to be a train conductor. "
"What do you want to do?" Tears filled her eyes with tears, and she felt so stupid about being busy.
"Don't do anything, let you be a tour guide!" Sheffield said dryly. If it's not that the big business talks are a bit frequent recently, maybe you will really do something.
After arriving at the Los Angeles train station, Sheffield came to his destination with a female trainee who had voluntarily resigned.
