Chapter 9

Edmundo followed the black-robed man wordlessly, in fact, the cocktail was indeed unpalatable, but no one had ever pointed it out - in that crazy atmosphere, even a glass of vinegar would turn into the rarest of wines.

"Let's go, it's too late, I'm afraid it's too late." The black-robed man walked out of the tavern with Edmundo.

"What the hell is going on?" Edmundo continued to ask.

"I'll know when I go, I hope it's okay, but in my opinion, it's too late now." The black-robed man's voice was low.

The black-robed man was Geng Chaozhong, and he had found the Black Cat Tavern this afternoon, but the Black Cat Tavern was only open at night, and he asked a few more homeless people - but everyone knew Edmundo, the bartender of the Black Cat Tavern, but no one knew where he was usually.

It's been at least an afternoon since it happened, and if nothing else, Bledsoe has already been surprised. In view of this, Geng Chaozhong had no choice but to put on a black veil - no one knew if those people would find themselves through Bledsoe.

"Bledsoe lives on Joe Pierre Street," Edmundo said briskly after Geng Chaozhong, his face full of apprehension, "but she wasn't usually there, and occasionally he would come to my place to look for me." ”

"There's still some hope." Geng Chaozhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, who the hell are you? Why are you telling me this? Only then did Edmundo remember to ask Geng Chaozhong's identity.

"I'm Bledsoe's suitor," Geng Chaozhong suddenly had a bad taste, "but frankly, Yanzi is my girlfriend." ”

"What?!" Edmundo looked surprised.

"As you might expect, Bledsoe didn't like me, and later, I thought the swallows were good too, so we got together." Geng Chaozhong's tone was filled with uncontrollable banter.

"It's a tragedy." Edmundo obviously didn't hear the mockery in Geng Chaozhong's tone.

Geng Chaozhong didn't answer, this Edmundo's identity is a bit strange, he is obviously not a spy, a spy, he won't believe in himself so easily, and he won't tell his relationship status so simply - but this Edmundo can get the trust of Yanzi, and there seems to be something in it that he doesn't know.

"Does Swallow know about what happened between you and Bledsoe?" Geng Chaozhong remembered something.

"Of course she doesn't know," Edmundo shook his head embarrassedly, "how could swallows know about such a thing." By the way, I won't tell Bledsoe about your relationship with Swallow. ”

Geng Chaozhong laughed and laughed.

"By the way, you haven't told me what happened to Bledsoe." Edmundo then remembered Geng Chaozhong's purpose for finding himself.

"It seems that a gang of people is planning to kidnap Bledsoe, and I suspect it is the French police." Geng Chaozhong said tentatively.

"Oh." Edmundo's expression was a little strange, and he seemed to be a little sad, he lowered his head, stopped talking, and quickly led Geng Chaozhong forward.

"It's almost there," Edmundo took Geng Chaozhong to the intersection of Avenue Pierre half an hour later, and he pointed to a row of apartments in the distance, "Over there, No. 363, the red-roofed house." ”

"I'll go by myself, you stay here and don't move." Geng Chaozhong glanced back at Edmundo, and he saw that Edmundo was hesitant.

"No, I'm afraid this has something to do with me," Edmundo shook his head, as if he had made up his mind, "and although I prefer swallows, I can't give up Bledsoe. ”

Geng Chaozhong was a little helpless about Edmundo's affection, but he didn't refuse, and the two approached Bledsoe's apartment slowly, one after the other, like passers-by who had no intention of walking by.

"Don't rush in, if someone is waiting there, we're in trouble." Geng Chaozhong reminded in a low voice.

Edmundo nodded, and it was obvious that he was nervous.

Gradually, the two walked outside the apartment, Geng Chaozhong suddenly stopped, and said loudly: "Wait for me, I'll go and relieve myself." ”

Edmundo immediately understood and replied loudly, "Is your balloon leaking?" Hurry up! ”

Geng Chaozhong walked to a corner outside the apartment and began to urinate, and after a while, he lifted his pants and turned his head to signal that there was no one inside.

The two walked slowly to the door of the apartment.

"Someone has been here," Geng Chaozhong quickly noticed the abnormality of the apartment, "although the door is closed, it has been kicked open, I'm afraid Bledsoe has already had an accident." ”

Edmundo's face changed suddenly, and he quickly walked to the door, and sure enough, the door lock had been broken, and the door was opened with just a slight push.

The lights came on, and the room looked fairly tidy, but Geng Chaozhong soon noticed that the sofa on the ground showed signs of moving, and then found a few drops of blood on the floor.

"Something's wrong......." Edmundo slumped on the couch.

"Don't worry," Geng Chaozhong continued to observe carefully, and soon, he found a few missing bullet casings in the house, Geng Chaozhong bent down and collected the bullet casings one by one, and only raised his head after a while: "Edmundo, I'm afraid things are not so simple." ”

"What do you mean?" Edmundo leaned back on the couch with a dejected expression.

"It's the three sides who are fighting," Geng Chaozhong continued to search the house, "There are three types of shells, and they are fired in different directions. Also, two of the parties have at least four or more people each. ”

"It's too late, they must have done it........." Edmundo didn't seem to hear Geng Chaozhong's analysis at all, just slumped on the sofa and muttered to himself.

He didn't care about any of that, and no matter how many people there were, Bledsoe had little hope of escaping alone.

"Edmundo, you have to tell me the truth," Geng Chaozhong looked into Edmundo's eyes, "What does this matter have to do with you." ”

"Let's go!"

Edmundo jumped suddenly, and as if he realized something, he ran out as fast as he could.

Geng Chaozhong casually turned off the lights and followed out without saying a word, he didn't think that there would be any ambush, the battle inside was so fierce, I am afraid that it had already spread in the surrounding area, and the possibility of the enemy setting up an ambush was very small.

Edmundo didn't stop until he was around the corner, but he was still terrified, and kept looking around, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly appear nearby.

"Edmundo, calm down, please tell you what you know." Geng Chaozhong grabbed Edmundo's shoulder.

"Rubyanka's basement," Edmundo's lips trembled, "Cheka, they must have done it!" ”

"What?" Geng Chaozhong simply didn't believe his ears.

The basement of the Lubyanka, the Cheka, isn't this the intelligence agency that he and Bledsoe serve? Kill your own people?

"Edmundo, are you French?!" Geng Chaozhong paused and asked with a serious face.

"Of course not," the tranquility around Edmundo briefly freed Edmundo from fear, he quietly looked at Geng Chaozhong, his chest gradually straightened, and his eyes revealed an inexplicable brilliance:

"I am the true monarch of Russia, the son and grandson of His Majesty the great Tsar, the grandchild of Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov, Rosar Edmundo Romanov!"
