Chapter 62: Family Anecdotes
"There's no story about Mrs. Hudson's family. Eric swaggered into the study where Thatch was used as the operations command room, and sat down on the couch. Chiko stood straight to the side, not even daring to breathe, and from the moment she stepped into the corridor where the study was located, Chiko felt a cramped and gloomy atmosphere.
"Sit down, Chiko, you're at the mercy of the CIA, not me. Thatch didn't pay attention to Eric, but suddenly took extra care of Chiko, which made Chiko suddenly overwhelmed.
"Hey, did you listen to me. Eric swallowed the term "old dog" back into his stomach.
"The sound of the crow is the most annoying. Thatch raised his eyelids, looking even more hideous, "Does this have anything to do with today's events?"
Fearing that Erik's rudeness would anger Thatch, Chiko took the lead in explaining how Monica had committed suicide, but Thatch didn't seem surprised. He raised his left hand, and another black-clad agent in the study handed Chiko a document. Chiko flipped through the documents, which were full of background information about Shook and Monica, including their ancestors, and it seemed that Thatch had long seen the mystery of Monica's death.
"You already knew?" said Chiko, still with a respectful attitude.
"I have warned Mrs. Hudson more than once not to be too merciful and forgiving. Thatch said gloomily.
"Then you let me ...... with Eric," Chiko said again.
"Use us as a pretense to make them think we're stuck in Monica's heels to buy time. Eric felt like he had been teased, and a sulk in his chest could not be relieved.
"Eric, it took you more than twenty minutes to do such a simple technique, it's too slow. Thatch smiled contemptuously.
"Otherwise, how can you be the famous director of the Sixth Division of Special Intelligence, I am a third-rate private detective, after all, stealing, playing tricks, and hiding are not my strengths. Eric was already gritting his teeth in anger.
"Director Thatch. Chiko cut off Eric's offense in time, "What did you mean just now that Mrs. Hudson's family does have a little-known story, and it is also related to Shocke and Monica?"
Thatch lit a cigarette, spat out a smoke ring, and after inviting the agent in the room out of the door, he revealed seemingly reluctantly, "Actually, this is a secret that belongs to Mrs. Hudson's family, and no one should have known about it." ”
"But now the situation is critical. Chiko explained anxiously.
Actually, the heir to this castle is not Mrs. Hudson. Thatch went straight to the heart of the secret.
"Does Mrs. Hudson have any other siblings?" asked Eric.
"Hmm. This goes back three generations from Mrs. Hudson. Thatch explained.
"Three generations ago?" Chiko was amazed at the time span of more than a hundred years.
Three generations ago, the Hudsons had two most dazzling jewels, the eldest son Hudson Jooch and the second daughter Hudson Lilly, both of whom were famous throughout Europe for their amazing talents, but it was believed that Jodge would eventually inherit all the glory of the Hudsons. ”
"It didn't. Eric interjected.
As you can see, the second daughter, Hudson Lilly, eventually inherited the Hudson castle, but Jocge has always stubbornly believed that Lilly used dastardly means to rob him of the glory and possessions he deserved, and his descendants and his servants have always thought so. Thatch went on to unravel this difficult history.
"Shook and Monica are the descendants of the Yooch family, and Mrs. Hudson and you already know. Eric asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Hudson is the leader of the Nicholas School, and even if she doesn't care herself, I will screen her out of all possible dangers, and the servants employed in Hudson Castle are no exception. On the third day after Shook and Monica entered Hudson Castle, they tried to start an assassination operation, and I designed to take them all. Thatch gave a scornful smile, as if dealing with Shook and Monica was as easy as strangling an ant.
"I think it's Mrs. Hudson's kindness that you caught them surviving. Eric affirmed.
Mrs. Hudson didn't want the family feud to continue to spread, so she spared the two of them and left them at the castle. After a long time, they even became the stewards of the castle. Thatch still seems unhappy with Mrs. Hudson's approach.
"And what about Yooch's descendants? Where are they? Maybe if you find them, you can find Schock. Chiko made her own proposal.
"The Hudson Jocch line was severed in Mrs. Hudson's father's generation. ”
"Then their servants still have this obsession. Chiko was incredulous at this hatred.
Thatch snorted coldly: "This obsession ends here." ”
"Looks like you can turn the tide?" asked Eric disdainfully.
"The whole castle is under my control, and if you pull the net over every brick of the castle, you will find it. Thatch opened the curtains of his study, and in the darkness of the thunderclouds, the entrance to Hudson Castle flickered with heavy figures. At this moment, a bolt of lightning pierced the long-dreary night sky, and Eric vaguely saw that those figures were not agents, but the special operations forces of country E. These heavily armed soldiers quickly lined up around Hudson Castle in the darkness of night. Soon, the dark whistle, the roadcar, the access control...... Ready in the blink of an eye, it seems that these people already know what they are going to do, or they have long understood that this is a long-planned operation.
"Are you confident?" Eric didn't think things would get that simple, and in all these intricacies, Thatch did see far ahead, but missed Mrs. Hudson. A master of psychology, a politician who has dominated the parliament of country E for decades, her interpretation of the human heart is not inferior to Thatch, or even much higher than his realm. How could she have allowed two dissenting Avengers to operate under her nose for so long.
"Then it's none of your business. Thatch coldly ordered the eviction.
"Of course. "I'd love to take another hot bath." With that, Eric gave Chiko a wicked look and walked out the door on his own.
"Then I'......" Chiko didn't know whether to stay or leave with Eric.
"As an agent, you should always keep in mind the orders, and whatever orders Thompson gave you, you still need to continue to carry them out. Thatch clearly saw Chiko's hesitation.
