I'm a spy in the film
Chapter 227: First Conversation
Early in the morning, Bourne woke up in the guest room of the Dutton family. Outside the window, on the distant pasture, the melodious calls of cowboys came.
A new day begins.
Last night, a vehicle from the Animal Husbandry Bureau took him to the Dutton family ranch, and took Case's brother-in-law Robert away with him.
Due to the bumpy ride, Robert woke up halfway, but when he saw clearly that he was in a police car of the Animal Husbandry Bureau and there were several burly Animal Husbandry Bureau police officers sitting around him, he wisely closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be dizzy.
Jamie, the second son of the Dutton family, has rushed to the state overnight. On the one hand, he wants to check on his brother's injuries, and on the other hand, he wants to keep Robert, the witness, firmly in his hands to prevent any accidents.
After all, this guy ran to his ranch, beat up his brother, and caught him red-handed, which was one of the family's powerful weapons to fight back against the Indians.
Bourne yawned and walked out of the room. He didn't come back very late last night, but he was a little excited and read until the early morning. Ansel and the others would not arrive until tomorrow, so there was nothing important to do today, so he got up a little late.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I walked into the restaurant, I saw an acquaintance.
The person was wearing a yellow floral dress, had long light blonde hair, deep beautiful eyes and long eyelashes, and was leaning against the door frame with a cup of coffee in hand.
Seeing Bourne, she chuckled and said:
"Hey, wake up, little Bourne, come here and let your aunt see if you have grown up again!"
This mature woman with a sexy figure and frivolous manner of speaking is the third child in the Dutton family, Beth Dutton.
"Hey, Aunt Beth."
Knowing her strange personality, Bourne didn't say a word. He just greeted her and walked straight to the dining table. He poured himself a glass of milk, picked up a sandwich and started eating.
He has consumed a lot of energy from last night until now and is starving.
Beth lowered her eyes. She hadn't seen him for a year.
She was finding it increasingly difficult to see through her nephew, but this time it was all thanks to him.
Sitting down opposite Bourne, Beth put down her coffee and said solemnly:
"Bourne, the Dutton family owes you a favor this time!"
"How's Lee? What did the doctor say?" Bourne asked vaguely, taking a bite of his sandwich.
Beth's face turned very bad, and she almost blurted out a curse word. She shook her head and said:
"The patient is out of danger, but he has lost too much blood and remains in a coma. The doctor said his condition is very serious. Even if he recovers well, he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."
This was just as Bourne had expected. When he was removing the bullet from Lee, he discovered that the injury to that section of the spine was very serious, no less serious than Douglas's.
"These damn Indians, why didn't we kill them all back then!"
The more Beth thought about it, the angrier she got. She slammed her right hand on the table top, making a loud bang that made the dishes on the table jump up.
At this moment, a rough voice came from the door:
"What's got you so mad, Beth?"
Bourne turned his head and saw a tall man wearing a Stetson cowboy hat and a neatly trimmed beard pushing the door and walking into the room.
Rip, an orphan adopted by old John in his early years, is the double-flowered red stick of the Dutton family and the royal gold medal fighter.
The poor bachelor who had been silently waiting for Aunt Beth for more than ten years.
A good man who values love and friendship!
When he saw Bourne, Rip's face flashed with surprise, but then he grinned and broke into a happy smile.
"Bourne, long time no see, when did you come back?"
"Long time no see, Rip!"
Bourne stood up and gave Rip a hug.
"I came back yesterday at noon. Old York died, and I came to take care of the funeral affairs."
Rip nodded, "I heard about Old York, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. If you need anything, just come to me. If I'm not here, you can go to Beth."
Then he glanced at Beth, who was still angry, and asked, "What happened? Where are John and Lee? Why don't I see them?"
"How's Happy Valley?" Beth asked instead of answering him.
Rip glanced at Bourne, and seeing that Beth didn't respond, he answered directly:
"The dam has been blown up. It will be impossible to rebuild it in a short time. If they don't learn their lesson, I will teach them to recognize the situation. So, how was the operation last night? I see that the cattle have been locked in the cattle pen."
"It's very bad. The Indians ambushed him. Li was shot in the back and fell off his horse. He is still in the hospital for treatment."
"what!"
Rip stood up so suddenly that he knocked over the stool without noticing it.
"What happened? Who did it? Where is Mr. John?"
Beth pointed to Bourne across from her and said:
"Thanks to this guy, he arrived in time to save Lee yesterday, held on until John brought the doctor over, and caught the shooter."
"Where is the man? I'm going to smash that guy's bones!"
"Don't be angry, Rip. Uncle Jamie has taken the man to the state police station overnight. This time, the Rock Crusher will have a hard time."
The Dutton family has a long history of conflict with the Broken Rock Indian tribe adjacent to the reservation.
Because of many reasons such as land, cattle, hunting, etc., the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but Old John and the former chief had a tacit understanding, so the two sides fought but did not break up, and even cooperated.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen less than a year after the new chief took office? It seems that the other party will suffer a lot this time, which is a pity for Li.
Rip was dragged by Beth to sit down again, his face expressionless.
However, those who know him know that Rip is introverted and rarely says harsh words. He usually just does what he wants. So the calmer he appears now, the more ruthless his revenge will be when the time comes.
"There's something strange about this."
Bourne was the first to break the silence and speak out the doubts he had discovered.
"Last night, Keith and I rode our horses forward and backward along the gap for more than ten minutes. We found no less than five gaps along the way, each one as wide as a person. We also found dried blood on the wire mesh, which should be human blood."
"You mean, these gaps weren't made by the Rock Crusher?" Beth asked suspiciously, "But they did capture our cattle, and used them as bait to set up an ambush and injured Lee!"
"Yes, that's another suspicious point!" Bourne nodded in agreement. "I asked Keith, and he said that when the people of Rock Crusher first learned that the cattle had run to the reservation, they were also surprised. In addition, their new chief initially wanted to drive the cattle back quietly, but the news spread quickly, and most people wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they later became tough."
"As for setting up an ambush, it was the result of their collective discussion. Because the negotiations were very unpleasant, and Keith warned them that the new chief said that Grandpa John was narrow-minded, in order to prevent retaliation, they..."
After a pause, Bourne continued, "If this was the plan of the Broken Rock Tribe, then their actions last night would have been even more perfect, and none of the cowboys Lee brought would have returned.
This doesn't seem like the style of those brainless lazy people. It seems like someone is deliberately intensifying the conflict between the Dutton Ranch and the reservation!
After all, although there are conflicts between the two, they are all within the controllable range. If something really happens to Li this time, the conflict between the two families will never end!"
After hearing what Bourne said, Beth's face was covered with frost. She said with certainty: "It can't be Daniel (developer of Paradise Valley) and Thomas (new chief of the Broken Rock Tribe). I have met them and they can't come up with such a plan."
“Haha,” she sneered twice, “It looks like a more powerful character has arrived. This is going to be interesting!”
Rip, who was standing by, had a fierce look in his eyes and said firmly: "No matter whose idea it was, I will send him to the train station!"
