Chapter 606 Do You Know What Time It Is Now?

Zhang Heng walked a lot in the past few days. After arriving at the hotel, he took a hot shower to wash off the dirt on his body. He also washed his clothes and hung them on the window sill to dry them in the local temperature the next morning. He would probably be able to dry it, so that he could change into clean clothes when he woke up.

After that, before the sun went down, Zhang Heng took off his boots and lay down on the bed.

He didn't know how long he slept, but it was certainly not as long as planned. When he was woken up by a knock on the door, it was still dark outside.

Zhang Heng immediately grabbed the revolver under the pillow, then leaned against the door, moving as vigorously as a cheetah, and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, sir, Wendy, we just met in front of the grocery store in the afternoon." The person outside the door said.

Zhang Heng did not open the door immediately after hearing this, but frowned and said, "Why are you looking for me?"

"I have re-thought your proposal in the afternoon, and I think you are right," Wendy said.

"What did I say?"

Zhang Heng straightened his messy hair and quickly put on the pants that were not yet dry. As for the top, he decided to dry it for a while.

"You said, I have no interest in being bossed around by a brat."

"That's right, you've got my answer, you can go find someone else. By the way, do you know what time it is?"

"Five o'clock in the morning, sir." Wendy replied, "I thought about it later and thought I could let you take full responsibility for this investigation. I will only be responsible for providing suggestions. Is this satisfactory to you?"

"Who would come to discuss things at five o'clock in the morning?" Zhang Heng yawned.

"Sorry, I heard that you went to bed early, and if we hit the road early, we can reach Glen Town in the evening. I just hope that I can find my father's whereabouts soon, especially considering that he may be in the wrong hands now. I can't sleep here, please."

After Wendy finished speaking, she felt like she was waiting for trial, every second was extremely long. After a while, she heard something moving behind the door. Zhang Heng moved the chair against the door, and then said, "Come in, slow down."

Wendy was overjoyed when she heard this, and slowly walked in from the door according to Zhang Heng's request.

She saw Zhang Heng holding a gun beside him, and she couldn't help but take a second look at his naked upper body.

Zhang Heng made sure that there was no one else following Wendy, and no one was hiding on the stairs or anywhere, so he finally put away the revolver in his hand and closed the door.

"Didn't your mother teach you not to enter a strange man's room at this time?" Zhang Heng said.

"I can protect myself." Wendy said. Seeing that Zhang Heng didn't believe it, she added, "If you want to do anything to me, I will shout out as soon as possible. There are many people in the hotel, and it's not far from here." The police station is not far away, and the chief will arrive soon. Although I am not very popular in the town, it depends on who I am compared with, right? Of course, I believe that you, sir, are an upright and friendly person. "

"You think this world is too simple. If I am really a bad person and want to do something to you, you can't shout out at all. You can't be so lucky every time. The best way to protect yourself is not to let yourself get hurt. In danger.”

"$80...$80, plus you have full discretion." Wendy didn't want to dwell on this topic and raised the price again.

Zhang Heng was noncommittal when he heard this, "In contrast, what I'm more curious about is why you have to identify me. As you said, you can hire someone else for this price."

"I'm not sure whether they are trustworthy." Wendy was silent for a moment and said, "There is something I didn't tell you. My father offended Lawrence G. Murphy. He is the most powerful man in the town. He owns the grocery store, bar, bank, and hotel. Everyone in town except Sheriff Terrell either works for him or is on his side. That's why I came to you at this time. One reason is that I don’t know if my father’s disappearance is related to Major Murphy, and I don’t want people to see our frequent contact to avoid arousing his vigilance.”

"Well, this really explains why you hired a stranger like me to find your father." Zhang Heng snorted, "But do you plan to hide this from me forever? Offending the entire county just for 80 yuan As the actual ruler of the country, this deal is not very cost-effective."

"No, sir, I was going to tell you along with other things on the road, and it's not as bad as you think, Lincoln County is huge, and while Major Murphy has the final say in the towns, outside, those ranches The owners and mine owners are basically those who oppose him."

"Even so, this is still a loss-making deal for me." Zhang Heng poured himself a glass of water.

Wendy gritted her teeth, "What about a good horse? We also have thirty horses in the pasture. You can choose one from them. I noticed that your horse is not a precious breed and is old. ."

Zhang Heng didn't know what the carrot downstairs would think when he heard that he was being evaluated like this, but what Wendy said was true. Zhang Heng knew his own affairs, even if Wendy pulled the red rabbit now. He can't ride it even if he comes out.

But the price of a good horse itself is not cheap. It costs at least eighty or ninety dollars. Wendy doubled the price. This should be the final bottom line for her, who previously only increased the price by five yuan and five yuan.

One hundred and seventy dollars would be something to consider. This amount of money would be enough for Zhang Heng to live for half a year. Anyway, even if he doesn't mess with the guy named Murphy, he won't like him because of his skin color, and he's just looking for someone. If so, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Zhang Heng thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you know where the lucky horseshoe is?"

"Ah?" Wendy was at a loss when she heard this. She didn't know what Zhang Heng's meaningless sentence meant, "You want horseshoes?"

"It's nothing, just pretend I haven't asked." Zhang Heng asked Wendy casually because he heard that her family's ranch raised a lot of horses. It was not surprising that he didn't get the answer he wanted. He said to Wendy, "Let's go get something to eat."

"What do you mean?" Wendy asked nervously.

"We'll hit the road after dinner. Didn't you say we'll arrive in the evening?"

"No, it's actually a bit of a road trip. We can only go to the town where we'll stop on the way at night." Wendy was overjoyed when she heard this, "I have some food with me, I'll bring it up right away."

"What about you? How are you going to get there? Do you need to hire a carriage for you?"

"You underestimate the rancher's daughter. I'll ride with you."
