Flowers, Swords and France

Just when Agnes finally settled down in a small town, a quarrel was raging in another place not far from her.

The focus of the quarrel happened to revolve around her - even though she knew nothing about it.

"So, you still haven't found her?"

In a room in a country house, Kong Ze frowned and looked at the skinny man opposite.

This man was the habitual thief he had been looking for in London before. Because the man was now well-known in the UK, Kong Ze had entrusted him to help him find a man a few days ago.

To be precise, it was Madame de Treville's unquestionable order that he must do everything possible to find that person.

Because the bacon had been left there, the smell in the room was very unpleasant. In addition, it was a hot and muggy weather that had just rained, so the discomfort was increased several times.

Kong Ze suppressed the nausea in his heart and frowned at the man opposite.

"It still has no effect so far." The person sitting opposite shook his head helplessly, "None of my people reported that they had seen that woman."

"I was looking forward to you very much." Upon hearing the answer from the other party, Kong Ze couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders, "But you told me that there is no progress at all?"

"You have to know that it's not that easy to find someone in this world! Especially on this overcrowded island!" Perhaps because he was irritated by Kong Ze's attitude, the other party's tone also became stern, "Especially on this overcrowded island!" You only gave me so little time!"

"But they all have their own characteristics and are not as difficult to identify as ordinary people." Kong Ze retorted calmly. "I remember that I described the appearance of that lady to you in detail. I even drew a sketch with you. Moreover, I have also told you the approximate location of her current location - sir. We are all insiders, so Stop talking about that kind of layman's words. Is it really that difficult to find a foreign girl who arrives suddenly in a place that is not busy? Especially in the hands of someone with rich connections like you?"

"They are indeed very distinctive, but even so, you can't find them by looking for them!" Because Kong Ze's attitude was always calm, the other party's tone did not soften at all, "If you really want to find someone, don't make trouble with me. Yes, please wait for me for a while instead of urging me every day!”

Seeing the opponent's tough attitude, Kong Ze bit his lip gently, finally not letting himself get angry and argue anymore.

In his heart, he also knew that his request was really unreasonable.

The lady could give orders according to whim and whim, without any room for refusal; but he could not do this to others. At least not yet.

There are indeed inherent differences between people.

That lady has been a noblewoman since she was born. She has been bossing around since she was a child. She has never paid attention to anyone or even any rules. Even if she killed her cousin, she did not feel any guilt or even hesitate at all. No.

Although assisting in killing his employer's father sounds a bit appalling, but since this is the wife's instructions, he has no choice but to try his best to complete it - besides. Madam has given him a guarantee, and she will be responsible for all consequences.

Right now, what he was worried about was not a moral issue, but how to find the young lady named Agnes.

Madam gave him instructions. From his understanding, he was assisting Agnes in killing her cousin and father-in-law Edgar de Treville, and if that didn't work, he would do it himself; while Kongze looked at it from the perspective of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. I tend to follow this approach - after all, helping to kill the employer's father and killing the employer's father with your own hands are two different things.

Although there is no way to control her whereabouts. But knowing that she had come to this country to find Edgar, all he had to do was cast his net around here. Contact her as soon as you find out.

However, several days passed and he still did not receive a satisfactory response, which made Kong Ze, who had always been calm, couldn't help but become a little anxious.

Forget it, we still need him now, so we can’t fall out.

"Okay, sorry, I was a little impatient." After a moment of silence, Kong Ze nodded slightly and apologized to the other party. "I just want to find her quickly."

"Speaking of which, why are you so anxious to find a woman?" The other party looked at Kong Ze half-jokingly, his eyes flickering as if he had thought of something, "What? At this age, our police inspector has finally started to Have you learned to be obsessed with women?”

Huh, why? How do I know why? Kong Ze snorted coldly in his heart.

"Let me give you a piece of advice: If you don't want to die early, you'd better know less and ask less." He glanced at the other party coldly, "There are many secrets in this world that can kill many people." For us, it is enough to live well and enjoy everything. Is it necessary to know many things?”

Some secrets are even worth killing your own father.

Perhaps it was because Kong Ze's eyes were too harsh that the other party shuddered inadvertently.

"Well, you are just too serious. I was obviously just joking!" After a moment, he shrugged angrily. "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously..."

Just when the two were still worried about the unsuccessful search for someone, the door of the room was suddenly knocked, and then a person walked in and whispered something in the ear of the habitual thief.

When he saw the other person's slightly widened eyes, Kong Ze's heart moved.

Just as he expected, a moment later, the other person's face showed a smile and turned to look at Kong Ze.

"God bless, we finally have news!"

"Great... You have finally proved that you are still useful enough." Kong Ze couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Take me there quickly, we don't have time to waste now..."

"Go now? It's late..." The other party hesitated, "If you plan to make a good impression on a lady, it's best to visit her after you have cleaned yourself up."

After hearing the other party's tactful advice, Kong Ze lowered his head and looked at himself. After a few days of running around, his clothes were messy and covered with dust.

But what about it?

"I think if she knew what I was going to tell her, she wouldn't mind my dress." Kong Ze stood up.

…………………………

It was already night.

After taking a bath, Agnes finally swept away the fatigue of the past few days. She wore a silk nightgown and enjoyed the rare rest during her recent journey.

Although she knew that what she needed to do most now was to rest well and prepare to rest up for the final settlement with that person. However, perhaps because of some excitement in her heart, she found that she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

Yes, although she always looked calm on the outside, she couldn't suppress her excitement in her heart when she thought that she had finally come to the end of this journey that had exhausted countless efforts.

She gently reached out and touched the ruby ​​pendant she always wore on her chest-it was a gift from her sister when she was ten years old.

Don't worry, please wait a little longer, just wait a little longer... She muttered to herself in her heart.

In the interval of this emotional surge, she suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Agnes originally thought that the person knocking on the door was her entourage, so she asked casually.

However, to her surprise, there was no response from the door.

Agnes frowned slightly, and then picked up the umbrella that had been leaning against the head of the bed from her side.

During the ten-year journey, no matter where she went or when, her weapon had never left her reach.

Agnes got off the bed carefully, and then walked to the door step by step, holding the weapon tightly in her hand.

"Who?" she asked in a low voice.

"It's me, Miss de-Adrien, we have met." After a while, there was finally an echo from the door.

Was it in French?

Although the other party seemed to know her identity and name, and although the voice seemed a little familiar, Agnes searched carefully in her head, but did not find any impression.

In any case, let's see who it is first.

Agnes gripped the weapon even harder.

Then, she suddenly opened the door.

At the moment the door was opened, the umbrella in her hand quickly stabbed at the person standing at the door, and then stopped precisely on the other person's throat.

Only then did she have time to see who the other person was.

"Is it you?" After a moment of trance, Agnes finally remembered who this person was.

Isn't this Charles's subordinate?

Could it be... Agnes had a bad premonition in her mind.

Could it be that Charles knew all this and decided to stop me again?

"It's me, I'm glad you still remember me." Kong Ze stiffened his body and looked at the other person awkwardly, "I think my arrival surprised you a little."

The tip of the umbrella pressed harder, pressing Kong Ze's throat sore, and he could hardly speak clearly.

Agnes looked at him warily, and for a moment, Kong Ze suspected that he might be killed.

"Did Charles ask you to come here?" After a moment, she asked coldly.

"No, no, sir... I don't know anything about this yet." Kongze answered with difficulty, "Please don't misunderstand, I come to you without any malice - on the contrary, I come to help you."

"Help me?" Agnes opened her eyes wide.

"Yes, help you..." Kongze confirmed immediately. "If you want to kill someone." (To be continued...)
