Red Dead Redemption Dawn - Chapter 508
“What happened to the West End?” Nick, who was woken up, asked his subordinates.
“I don’t know, Captain Zheng has already gone out to inquire.” The subordinate responded.
He was woken up by the sound of explosives and gunshots, and there should be no movement at this time.
Nick turned on the bedside lamp, then looked at the time on the wall, it was one o’clock in the morning.
So he put on his coat and walked out of the room. He came to the hall and wanted to find out what was going on.
“What’s the matter? It seems to be a mess outside?” Nick continued to ask.
“A group of robbers hijacked two managers of the Moraine National Bank, opened the door of the vault and stole a large amount of gold and cash.” Zheng Guotian just came back from the outside, saw Nick asking, so he said the information he had just obtained .
“That is to say, the Moraine National Bank was robbed?” Nick couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, the police in this city have basically been dispatched, and the entire East District has been blocked. Hundreds of police officers are checking everyone, and even all rooms.” Zheng Guotian told Nick the information he had just obtained.
“Who is so bold? What’s Cuido’s reaction?” Nick asked the leader of the Blackwater Party.
“I heard that he just wants to keep his subordinates safe and disciplined, and he doesn’t plan to get involved.” Zheng Guotian said.
“Well~ let our people do the same. Everything outside the villa has nothing to do with us, as long as they don’t come in.” Nick thought for a while and issued some orders.
Naturally, those present will not object.
Since he was woken up, he wouldn’t fall asleep easily, so Nick asked the kitchen to get some food and drinks, and discussed the matter with Zheng Guotian.
“I asked a few of my subordinates to ask those who know more. I guess they will find out who these robbers are in a while. Tsk tsk~ It’s really powerful, and the Moraine National Bank dares to rob it~” Zheng Guotian said with a tone A little admired.
No matter how much money he can earn, he is unwilling to do this kind of deadly behavior. Unless he arranges a retreat and returns directly to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise he will never do such a stupid thing.
“It’s probably a group of desperate guys, and they don’t plan to stay here for a long time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do such a mindless thing.” Nick said so, but he still felt that doing this was simply abnormal.
“I also said to go back to the family’s Thanksgiving by boat at six o’clock in the morning. It seems that there is no other way. It needs to be delayed for a few days in case someone takes advantage of this opportunity to harm us.” Nick said a little regretfully.
“Sir will understand.” Zheng Guotian said.
The two talked in detail for a while, and then the men who went to find out the situation came back with the latest news.
“Boss~ These are a group of notorious desperadoes, members of the Van der Linde gang who committed a shocking crime in Blackwater Town~” the subordinate said.
This made Nick’s eyes narrow slightly. He was one of the members who knew that John had ties to the gang, but he didn’t show it too much.
Instead, he waited for his subordinates to continue.
“One-fifth of the safe in the Moraine National Bank was broken, and at least 70,000 worth of items were lost. And three of the four people are very famous, Dutch Van der Linde, Hosea Matthew Adams, Arthur Morgan, and another one who is only known to be a black man, and the information is unknown.” The people under his hand were talking about the news they had just received.
“Those three? I remember that their bounties add up to almost 20,000.” Zheng Guotian obviously knew these famous guys after he had been in Heishui Town for so long.
“It’s really a group of lunatics, do they exist to keep destroying?” Zheng Guotian still couldn’t understand what Daqi and his group were for.
“Otherwise, why would you call him a desperado?” Nick chuckled.
On the other side, Dach and the others woke up after resting for a while.
Dach patted Arthur beside him, “Hey~ Wake up~ Arthur.”
Arthur, who had been tossing all night, was patted awake, and he looked at Dutch, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s much quieter around here, I want you to go out and see what’s going on.” Dutch motioned Arthur to go out and see what’s going on.
Arthur looked at Hosea and Charles who were still resting, and didn’t say anything. He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was three in the morning, so he quietly climbed out of the window again.
Tonight’s night is covered by dark clouds, and the night is very hazy. Not every street in the East District has street lights, and the interval between each street light is more than 60 meters.
Therefore, the light sources on the whole street cannot be said to be very bright. Arthur lay on the roof cautiously, looking down at the situation on the side of the street.
On each street in between, there were three policemen with flashlights who were constantly searching. They were very attentive to check every place where people could hide.
Arthur looked in the direction where they abandoned the carriage. The place was nearly 600 meters away from his current position. There were bright lights in that direction, and it seemed that many people were gathering.
Arthur figured the police had found their abandoned wagon, and perhaps some gold and cash scattered about in it.
Then Arthur climbed to the adjacent street again, the situation was still the same, there was still a group of policemen with flashlights patrolling the 100-meter-long street below the street, searching the alleys of these main roads to see if there were any traces of the four people .
So he quietly crawled back to that room, and Charles and Hosea both woke up in the room.
“How is it?” Dach asked.
“There’s a search party of three on every main road, and they’ve found our abandoned wagon by now. I guess the entrance to the whole area is blocked until it’s confirmed that we escaped or found us. We could be trapped dead in the This way, Dutch~” Arthur said a little pessimistically.
“We shouldn’t have put too much trust in the idiot Josiah’s words in the first place. We should investigate it ourselves.” Arthur complained about Josiah’s missed information.
“This kind of mistake is inevitable.” Dach didn’t blame Josiah too much at this time.
“So what do we do now?” Arthur asked.
Daqi lowered his head in thought, and after a while he said, “It is impossible for us to escape from the city of Saint-Denis by road now, we have to escape by boat.”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with Javier and the others, I hope they’re okay.” Arthur said suddenly.
“I think they should have left the city long ago. After all, it’s useless to stay too long. They can’t help us.” Hosea responded.
“I knew a man before in the East District. He owed me a favor. Please, sir. I think I’m going to meet him, and I hope he won’t forget what happened back then~www.mtlnovel.com~I want him to sit for us Get out of the boat.” Dach said to the three after thinking about it.
“It’s so stupid. In this situation, I’m afraid he’ll sell you as soon as you arrive at someone’s house.” Hosea disagreed with this approach.
“I have to go and try, otherwise we will be trapped in the urn and we will not be able to escape.” Dach said looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window.
“I disagree with Dutch, Hosea is right, this is too dangerous and too stupid, your current reward is enough for anyone to betray us.” Arthur objected expressionlessly.
Dutch turned his head to look at Hosea and Arthur. Seeing that the two partners who had been with him for many years were worried and opposed because of their decision, Dutch felt very good and relieved.
“I’ve decided, Arthur~ you go with me. Hosea, if there is a gunshot from our side, you and Charles will flee the city with everything, and we should be able to attract most of the people by then, Create some space for you. Hosea, after you escape, settle them all down. If anyone wants to leave or just leave, don’t stop them. There is a letter from me in Molly’s hand, and everything is arranged , you’ll know when you get it.” Da Qi announced his decision after looking at the two of them for a few moments.
“Stupid.” Arthur heard Dutch’s firm tone and knew that it was useless to continue, so he could only shake his head and curse at him.
Hosea nodded, but did not continue to object.
“Arthur come down with me to find out the direction.” Dach said, brushing his messy hair back, and then climbed out of the window, while Arthur looked at Charles.
Charles nodded at him, and Arthur followed Dutch out.
