March 1885, San Francisco train station.

On the platform of the train station, a group of people in suits and ties stood together.

People who got out of the car couldn't help but take a second look.

And standing at the front of these people was a man with a raised beard and a red face.

Hanif's spirits have improved a lot since he became the head of the California branch of the Border Detective Agency.

A crisp suit replaced the wrinkled leather jacket before, and the metal badge on the chest shone in the sunlight.

He held the cigar in his left hand and put his right hand on his waist. He turned his head and glanced at the dozens of detectives behind him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Four years ago, I was still a bounty hunter traveling around the Western Continent with his apprentice, fighting alone.

To say that he is famous is because of the admiration from his colleagues, and he knows whether he is good or not.

He risked his life and earned a meager bounty. At the worst time, he was penniless and even on the bounty list.

"Oh, Master Huang, Master Huang has gone to Arcata." Huang Tongshi put down the brush in his hand and gently blew the ink on the paper.

Each batch of people sent over will bring his handwritten letter.

"This is Seth Marsh the Hyena, and Tver Baruch the Lame."

When the dock workers saw him, they all shook their heads in confusion.

But now, I have everything now, including a house, subordinates, and most importantly, a beautiful wife!

Chen Jianqiu raised his head and found that Hanif was also looking at him.

He handed the information back to Hanif and stood up: "Have you had any contact with Huang Qingyun recently?"

In the living room of Hanif's house, the former bounty hunter took out a piece of information and handed it to Chen Jianqiu.

Thinking of this, Hanif couldn't help but touch his carefully trimmed beard again.

Huang Tongshi handed Chen Jianqiu a cup of tea.

Two carriages have stopped at the door.

"Why don't we leave after eating."

"Let's go find Huang Qingyun, he should know more."

Huang Tongshi is standing in front of the table practicing calligraphy.

"Arcata? What is he doing in Arcata? Aren't all the Chinese there driven out of town?"

Hanif ordered Downey to take a few detectives to wait for Chen Jianqiu and his companions here.

He greeted the others behind him: "You can go and do whatever you need to do."

Hanif smiled happily and led a group of people to greet him.

"We set out three or four days ago with five or six young men. What's wrong?" Huang Tongshi was a little strange.

Huang Tongshi raised his head and saw Chen Jianqiu, and immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Hey, Boss Chen! Rare visitors, rare visitors!"

"An anti-Chinese incident did occur in Arcata not long ago."

He stared into Huang Tongshi's eyes: "When did he set off? Did he go alone?"

The spectators in the audience were still watching with great interest.

"Has the Knights of Labor degenerated to this level now?" Sean standing behind said angrily, "They accept everyone?"

But when he saw a few key figures who were leading the trouble, he frowned slightly.

He very much hoped that this would be the case, as it would be better if no one was injured or killed.

Before he could speak, Chen Jianqiu had already spoken:

Then, he took Chen Jianqiu and others into the carriage and drove towards his residence in San Francisco.

Chen Jianqiu passed through the lobby on the first floor and climbed directly up the stairs to the second floor.

Chen Jianqiu got on the horse again and headed towards Chinatown.

"It used to be very secretive, but it started to come to the forefront a few years ago."

Chen Jianqiu tapped the door panel twice with his fingers.

And his wife, a quiet and generous Californian woman, brought everyone several cups of coffee from the kitchen.

Chen Jianqiu was sitting on the sofa, drinking black coffee and reading information.

Hanif shook his head: "According to your instructions, if he doesn't come to me, I won't take the initiative to find him."

Although the writing is crooked and weak, the posture is quite strong. He shakes his head, shakes his head, and moves his hands vertically and horizontally, which seems to swallow up external forces like a tiger.

"What about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

The play was performed as usual, but it was changed to "Two Plum Blossoms", which sang the story of a talented man and a beautiful woman.

"Master! Boss, he's down." Downey on the side poked his master's waist with his fingers.

Huang Qingyun will quickly find these people without citizenship and secretly send them to Roswell.

Although the flow of Chinese at the pier has been greatly reduced after the bill was officially implemented, many people still come to San Francisco by boat.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at Hanif and said nothing.

"Yes, these people wear the armbands of the Knights of Labor, but they are all notorious criminals."

However, Chen Jianqiu did not answer.

"Yes, this is also a strange place. There are minor injuries, but there are no broken arms or legs." Hanif said.

The bill only restricts Chinese workers from entering and exiting the United States, but does not have much control over businessmen and officials.

"Where is Huang Qingyun?" Chen Jianqiu asked directly.

He raised his head again and looked at Hanif.

The smile on Hanif's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a cautious look.

Ningyang Guild Hall is still the same as before.

"Boss, there are many people here, come to my residence and say."

He came closer and pointed to Chen Jianqiu one by one at the blurry photos in the file:

It seemed that they didn't know where Huang Qingyun had gone.

"I have hunted down at least three to four of them, so I am very familiar with them," Hanif said. "Each of these people has more than ten lives on their hands."

The rulers of the east coast of this country still intend to do business with that big country in Asia.

Chen Jianqiu remained silent.

Chen Jianqiu felt something was not right.

"Why didn't you stop him?"

Chen Jianqiu's heart was suddenly tugged.

Behind him, there was a woman and a black man.

Everyone left the train station.

However, when he walked into the yard of the mutual aid society, he found that the door was ajar and a few unfamiliar dockworkers were chatting inside.

Downey had already brought Black Carrot downstairs to Hanif's house.

However, based on his understanding of these people, this possibility is a bit small.

Perhaps we can find out news about Huang Qingyun at the Ningyang Guild Hall.

Chen Jianqiu nodded and said to everyone in the room:

Hanif's wife brought out a pot of boiled beef and a plate of potatoes from the kitchen. She wiped her wet hands with her apron and said.

"The Knights of Labor is an American workers' organization founded in Philadelphia in 1869 by Uriah Stephens and seven other tailors' union members."

"These people shouldn't be workers or local townspeople, right?"

0!

The theater in the guild hall was still brightly lit and filled with fragrance.

"That means the Knights didn't want to cause too much trouble and acted in a measured manner." Sean nodded.

The apartment Hanif bought was located in the core of San Francisco. Chen Jianqiu rode a black carrot around for a long time before arriving at the pier.

''No, I'll go there first, you just wait here for me."

The door to Tongshi Huang's office was open, and the smell of tea came from inside.

"Oh, the local militia group gave us a message, saying that the crowd was so excited that they couldn't stop it. If the Chinese wanted to come back, they could do it, and we needed someone from the Chinese community in San Francisco who could talk to us to negotiate. So Qingyun volunteered to go."

Chen Jianqiu walked to the door and looked inside the room:

A man in a cloth robe appeared outside the carriage.

The most important thing is that my apprentice is not very smart from time to time.

Chen Jianqiu picked up a few potatoes from the plate, gnawed them, and walked out the door.

"Where's Uncle Qingyun?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

He walked towards the Chinese Mutual Aid Society.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Chen Jianqiu glanced at the casualty figures.

"Why are you stopping him? The people in Arcata are very restrained. Master Huang and a few young men are armed, so they should be fine. Hey, Boss Chen, please don't look at me like that, okay?"

Huang Tongshi was a little disapproving, but he felt that Chen Jianqiu's eyes on him were like knives.

Chen Jianqiu turned around and left.

"Hey, Boss Chen, where are you going? Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?" Huang Tongshi's voice came from behind.

Chen Jianqiu said nothing and rushed downstairs, got on his horse and galloped towards Hanif's home.
