Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Deceased

As the sun was about to sink over the horizon, Fran and her friend stepped off the boat, and Kong Ze followed them unhurriedly with a large suitcase in his hand.

Because of the small dispute just now, the two young ladies were very dissatisfied with Kong Ze, so they only cared about talking and laughing with each other, as if they didn't care about him at all, and Kong Ze didn't care at all, and followed leisurely, constantly looking left and right, beware of accidents that were actually unlikely.

The two young ladies in front of him were both in their prime and beautiful as flowers, but he did not pay much attention to them, and his attitude towards them was as perfunctory as ever.

In his early police career, he was accustomed to seeing too many ugliness and crimes, and he had already seen women's tears and women's smiles at the same time. Because, even if they looked so cute, they couldn't touch his heart much.

After this non-interference situation lasted for a while, Mary finally turned her gaze and motioned for Kong Ze to hurry up and come to her senses.

As night is approaching, they need to hurry back to the hotel - and Fran and Marie only speak French, so they have to rely on Conze to communicate with the locals.

Kong Ze shrugged his shoulders, and then casually found two rental carriages on the side of the street.

After communicating with the rental carriage, they got on the return journey together.

Kong Ze did not negotiate the price with the coachman, because the travel expenses were reimbursed by Charles, so he was not stingy with spending money at all.

He had not received a thank-you, and Mary was still indignant at him because of the quarrel she had just had, so she stepped into the carriage without looking at him. And even the cowardly Miss Trevier only nodded to him gently. He got into the carriage.

Kong Ze shrugged his shoulders, then smiled self-deprecatingly. Got into his own carriage.

However...... No one saw that in the seat of this carriage, a man was already sitting quietly in the shadows.

"I don't know when you became a babysitter!" When Kong Ze sat down beside him, he teased Kong Ze in a rather hoarse voice.

This hoarse sound, like the sound of a saw tearing back and forth on wood, made people feel quite uncomfortable after listening to it.

However, Kong Ze was not touched in the slightest.

"It's a job, no matter what, as long as you can get a good salary."

"Ho! It's not like you're talking about it! The visitor continued to tease. Why, isn't our Mr. Kong Ze always trying to get ahead? How can such a thing be said today? How...... Want to spend the rest of your life in the mud like us? Hey, that's actually pretty good...... What's the need to make yourself so hard? ”

"If you don't want to be beaten all over the floor by me, you'd better shut me up and stop talking about your shit." Kong Ze frowned slightly, obviously already impatient with his teasing.

"Hey, I'm just kidding! Good, good. I won't say anything. Seeing that Kong Ze was already angry, this person hurriedly laughed and waved his hand, "Don't be angry...... Don't be angry......"

Then, as if recalling something from the past. He smiled at Kong Ze again, "I didn't expect you to leave the police station!" I thought you liked your job......"

"I didn't leave there because I wanted to." Kong Ze replied angrily.

"Ah, yes. That's right! We can't help ourselves. The man sighed again.

Then he got out of his crumpled clothes. Slowly took out two cigars that had been cut, and then picked one up and handed it to Kong Ze. "Come on, smoke one, shall we?"

"No, no." Looking at his slender but somewhat blackened dirty fingers, Kong Ze refused without thinking, "I don't smoke." ”

"It's okay to have one once in a while, right?" The other party smiled and asked, "Don't look at me so poor haha, but this is a good product, it took me a lot of effort to get it out of a rich merchant!" ”

"I said I don't smoke." Even though the other party was so enthusiastic, Kong Ze was still unmoved.

Then, he looked at the thin figure next to him.

Although the complexion is a little darkened due to the sun and rain, it is still very good to look at the spirit.

"Looks like you're doing a good job here?"

"Okay...... That's all I've been able to do in my life, and if I don't do this well, what else can I do? The man replied nonchalantly, and then carefully lit the cigar with a match.

He took a deep breath of his cigar and let out a sigh of intoxication. "Hey, now that I think about it, I should have learned some serious ...... at that time."

"Come on, what kind of business are you still learning?" Kong Ze replied with a smile, "You are a natural bad seed, what else can you do if you don't be a thief?" If you really go to work honestly, you're afraid you won't be able to sit still, right? ”

As he mocked, the man was indeed a thief.

And it is a thief who has a very "performance impact".

The thief was operating in the Paris region and successfully carried out several major thefts, which attracted the attention of the police. His whereabouts are very secretive, and his methods of crime are also very cunning, so there are few traces left, and Kong Ze spent a lot of energy to catch him.

Just as Kong Ze was about to bring the thief to justice, he obediently offered that he could be Kong Ze's informant, secretly helping Kong Ze arrest other thieves in exchange for not going to jail.

After some consideration, Kong Ze agreed to his request, and later, relying on this tainted informant, he had a lot of information about thieves and robber gangs in the Paris area, and then successfully solved several large-scale theft cases that caused huge social impact, and his extraordinary ability and talent were finally recognized by his superiors, and he embarked on his own path to rise in the police world.

It didn't take long for the news that he had become a lackey of the police to be revealed, and he was in an extremely dangerous situation.

And after leaving the post at that time, Kong Ze, who no longer needed to accumulate credit in this way, did not leave him alone. Instead, he was quite righteously given him a way out - he gave him a forged passport and some money, so that he could leave France.

He came to England. Then after suffering a lot, he finally settled down again and ran his old business here again. In his heart, he was grateful to Kong Ze.

Before Kong Ze came to England, he informed each other through the secret channel that the two of them had agreed on in the past, and he immediately ran to Kong Ze.

"Hey! Don't put it so bluntly! A trace of embarrassment flashed on the other party's face, and then nodded in agreement with Kong Ze's opinion, "Okay, in fact, you are not wrong, I just can't sit still, not the kind of material to live a good life......"

Then, he took another deep puff of his cigarette.

"Alright. Don't talk about that...... You're new to the city, so I should treat you to a treat...... What do you think? Let's go find a few girls first, shall we? I know of a couple of nice places nearby...... The girl was welcoming, the price was fair and ......"

"No need." Kong Ze still refused, "I have a lot of things to do now, and I don't have time." ”

Seeing that Kong Ze was still so cold, the other party looked at him again in great puzzlement.

"You're like a saint! Hey, what's the point of getting ahead in this way? People, isn't getting ahead just for enjoyment? As he spoke, he smoked hard. Living his own motto.

"The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life poisoned her son with her own hands for a little inheritance." Kong Ze replied in a tone of indifference that didn't matter to him, "So, friend. Forget about the women who are dragging your legs and crying that you don't love her. ”

"Hey! Come on! I didn't come to you to listen to your philosophical rams! As soon as I heard Kong Ze say this. The man immediately smiled wryly again.

After a moment, it dawned on him.

"Huh. Are you thinking about those two chicks? So you can't wait to be courteous in front of them? Oh, that's no wonder. Those two chicks are very beautiful, if you can catch up with them, it will really be worth this life! ”

However, his words did not ease the atmosphere as he would have liked.

Kong Ze's eyes widened, and then he suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

"Are you crazy? Didn't you see that they all have identities?! He scolded the other party, "If you don't want to die, don't touch a finger of them, and it's best not to appear in front of them." ”

The other party was shocked by Kong Ze's sudden attack, and his iron tong-like hand pinched him faintly, and it also made him a little frightened for a moment.

"Alright...... Don't take it seriously, I'm just kidding...... Don't worry, I won't get in their way, I want to live a few more years......"

"Hmph." Seeing that the other party finally came to the road, Kong Ze's face looked a little better, and he snorted coldly and let go of his hand.

"Why, nervous like this...... Are they princesses of some country? After the atmosphere finally eased up a little, the other party asked half-jokingly and half-cautiously.

"One is a close assistant to my employer, I think he's been laid, and he's very grumpy." After remembering the quarrel between the two just now, Kong Ze pursed his lips slightly, and then returned to indifference, "One is my employer's sister, well, I think...... Now she's in France, and she's almost the same as a princess. Anyway, if something happens to them, not only me, but even you will definitely be dismantled, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, it will be useless, understand? ”

Kong Ze didn't know about the dispute between the two brothers and sisters of Charles before, but Fran was Charles's favorite sister, so although he had a cold attitude along the way, he definitely didn't dare to slack off.

"Ahh Ahh ”

After hearing Kong Ze's explanation, the other party finally exclaimed.

He was first surprised that he had almost made a life-threatening joke, and then he was curious about Kong Ze's new job.

"Your employer, so you have such a background! So that's it...... No wonder now that you've left the same place, you've found a tall branch! It seems that you are really going to make a fortune now...... So, don't sell it, sue me, who is he? ”

"De Treville, do you have an impression of this surname?"

"Is that him?! I see...... It's the March Butcher! To Kong Ze's surprise, the other party reacted immediately, and then, he looked at Kong Ze very excitedly, and was sincerely happy for his future. My friend, you've really found a good place for yourself! ”

"Huh? March Butcher? Kong Ze was a little surprised.

"Yes, March Butcher, that's what the newspapers here call him, at least that's what the ones I've seen." The other party nodded, "I heard that he was Bonaparte's most powerful subordinate, single-handedly planned the previous coup d'Γ©tat, and carried out a massacre in Paris, which was bloody...... Looks like you've killed thousands of people! ”

"How can there be so many people who are willing to die for the sake of political slogans." Kong Ze shook his head slightly, "There are only a few dozen people killed in total, and there hasn't been a single flash flood that has killed many people." ”

"I don't know, anyway, that's what the newspapers here say." The other party shook his head again, indicating that he didn't care about this small detail, "My friend, in short, it's true that he's a big celebrity in Bonaparte now, right?" And now, you are his subordinate, and he trusts you even enough to entrust you with taking care of your mistress and sister? ”

"You're exaggerating, but there's some basis." Kong Ze replied vaguely.

"Oh! Then you've really made a fortune! "Don't forget your poor friend!" ”

"So, didn't I come to you......" Kong Ze's voice sounded more and more unfathomable.

"Huh......?" The other party seemed to understand something, and looked at Kong Ze with blinked eyes. "You...... You're not just looking for me to catch up with the old guys this time, but also have a job for me to do? ”

"Of course there is." Kong Ze did not deny his latter question.

After hearing Kong Ze's words, an unconcealable joy flashed on the other party's dark face.

"Okay...... Well, I knew you wouldn't forget your old friend! Poor Josdam will do it for youβ€”as long as you pay enough! ”

"It's not a good job." Kong Ze shook his head, "You'd better think about it first. ”

"What? Don't you know yet? I'm a bold man! ”

"If you want to do this job, you don't have to be bold, you have to have a good brain." Kong Ze replied in a low voice, "However, although it is a little frivolous, your brain is not bad...... I don't think there are many people here who are more suitable than you. ”

"What the hell is going on?" The other party's eyes widened in bewilderment.

"Actually, it's very simple to say." Kong Ze's expression was still extremely flat, "Mr. Trevier is now in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he is very dissatisfied with the procrastination style of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he doesn't like the pretentious rhetoric of this group of old antiques, so he needs us to do the work, we are pragmatic, and the tone is tight, he needs us to find out information all over Europe." ”

After a pause, he added.

"And, allegiance to him alone." (To be continued......)
