"Boss, I don't think this Anna is a mute, after I helped her untie her to-day, she didn't say a word of thanks, and she didn't say a word to the Countess and Ivanov. It seems like Anna hasn't said a word since we started listening. Fu Xinghan told Ling Yunpeng the doubts in his heart.

"I also find it strange, as if Anna has never spoken, she can hear, but she doesn't speak, maybe she's really a mute." Ling Yunpeng also felt the same way: "It seems that this Anna is also the focus of our surveillance. ”

Ling Yunpeng suddenly thought of something, and turned around and asked Fu Xinghan: "Hey, idiot, what did you find under the sofa in the countess's room just now?" ”

Fu Xinghan knew that Ling Yunpeng was watching the other side with a telescope just now, so he couldn't hide his every move, so he could only take out the sapphire necklace from his trouser pocket and hand it to Ling Yunpeng: "I saw it fall under the sofa, so I put it in my trouser pocket." I didn't want to take it to myself. ”

Fu Xinghan's last sentence seemed to be three hundred taels of silver here, and as soon as the words came out, everyone cast questioning glances at him. Fu Xinghan was so embarrassed that his face was red and his ears were red, and he kept touching the back of his head.

Ling Yunpeng took the necklace and looked at it carefully, this necklace is exquisitely made, it is made of pure gold, and the sapphire on the pendant is surrounded by a circle of pure gold hollow patterns, this sapphire is inlaid in the middle, and it is inlaid with a whole piece of sapphire, crystal clear, flashing with dazzling brilliance, very beautiful, and valuable. Ling Yunpeng touched the pendant with his hand and found that there was a small and inconspicuous hidden buckle inside, and when he pressed this hidden button, the sapphire pendant opened, and there was a group photo inside.

This discovery surprised everyone, and the four heads were squeezed together.

"Who is this group photo with whom?" Qin Shouyi looked at the black and white photo.

"That woman must be the Countess, but the Countess was very young at that time, like a young girl." Ah Hui recognized the woman in the group photo as Natasha of Girls' Generation at a glance.

"And what about this man, is it Count Andrei? Is this their wedding photo? Qin Shouyi asked.

"No, the man in the group photo is also very young, very tall, a handsome young man, about the same age as the countess, and the age difference between Count André and the countess is very much." Fu Xinghan denied Qin Shouyi's speculation.

"Vasily." Ling Yunpeng and Fu Xinghan shouted in unison.

"Yes, this should be Vasily, the Countess's lover. It seems that this Vasily and Natasha are childhood sweethearts. Ling Yunpeng was excited about the discovery.

"And where is this Vasily now? Still alive? Ah Hui asked.

"Could this Vasily be the intermediary between the Countess and the big buyers, only if he goes to match the Countess will be reassured." Ling Yunpeng analyzed.

"If this is possible, then we will pay close attention to the Countess's call now." Fu Xinghan also gradually became clearer.

Just as several people were analyzing the situation, the sound of the phone ringing came from the headphones.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. Could this be Vasily's call? ”

Fu Xinghan couldn't hide his excitement, stepped forward with an arrow, put on headphones, and Ling Yunpeng picked up the telescope to inspect.

"Plivett." The Countess said "Hello" in Russian.

"Is it the Countess?" An old voice came from the phone, and what was even more surprising was that the man spoke Chinese.

At this time, Ling Yunpeng found that the countess's face became a little nervous.

"Hello, Master Liu." The Countess greeted each other in stiff Chinese.

"Countess, the half-year deadline has already arrived, are you ready?" Liu Ye's old and cold voice came from the phone.

"Master Liu, can you give a few more days?" The countess's voice trembled a little.

"Countess, it's only natural to pay off your debts, so be it, tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, I'll be waiting for you at the Ciroth Ballroom."

"Lord Liu......" The countess seemed to be crying and begging.

"Well, don't let me go, Countess, or I'll send someone to you." Liu Ye hung up the phone, and there was a hint of threat in his words.

The countess looked depressed, holding her head in her hands and looking solemn.

"It seems that this Liu Ye should be the creditor of the countess, my previous guess was correct, this countess is now in the pain of a shortage of funds, Count Andre must have spent a lot of silver in order to get this treasure map, in addition to his own capital, he also asked this Liu Ye to borrow a lot of money. Now that the half-year deadline has arrived, it's time to repay the money with interest, but it seems that this countess is now anxious and empty! Ling Yunpeng analyzed, and then made a decision: "Tomorrow, we will go to Ciroas together to see the situation and act on the opportunity." Idiot, you pretend to be my dance partner. ”

"Don't worry, boss, I must be the most glamorous star in the ballroom." Fu Xinghan raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

"But I can't dance." Qin Shouyi spread his hands in embarrassment: "I have never been in this kind of place. ”

"It's okay, Nezha, you're sitting in the car and waiting for us." Ling Yunpeng felt that since Qin Shouyi had never seen a dance hall, it would look unnatural because of discomfort if he rushed in, and it might affect the entire action, so it was better to let Qin Shouyi stay outside to respond.

Then Ling Yunpeng turned his gaze to Ah Hui again: "Ah Hui, do you know how to dance?" ”

"I'll only jump two steps. It's the kind of dance that sways from side to side. Ah Hui shrugged.

"Then Ah Hui, then you sit on the edge of the dance floor and act when you have the opportunity."

Ling Yunpeng made arrangements for tomorrow's action, and when he turned his head, he saw the countess picking up the phone.

"Listen, who is the Countess talking to?"

Fu Xinghan hurriedly put on headphones and listened carefully.

The countess picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, the phone was connected, and the countess couldn't wait to say: "Is it Heinz, I'm Natasha, last time I asked you to find a buyer for the house, did you find it?" ”

"Madam, I'm talking, there is a Chinese who is a little interested, but he hopes that you can lower the price."

"Tell him to prepare one hundred and fifty gold bars tomorrow, and my house will be his." The Countess gritted her teeth, as if making a difficult decision.

"Madam, have you kept the price too low all at once?" Heinz was surprised that this was a far cry from the price set by the Countess.

"I'm waiting for the money now." The Countess reluctantly told Heinz of her present predicament.

"Okay, I'll tell him."

"You tell him that I will live in this house for a month before I move in." The Countess made the conditions.

"No problem, I think he will definitely agree, after all, he has taken advantage of it this time."

"Heinz, tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, you take that Chinese to the Chinachem Hotel, and we will talk there."

"Okay, I'll let him know."

The Countess hung up the phone and sat down on the sofa depressed and sad, having hit her too hard these days.

At this time, the telephone rang again, and the Countess walked up to the telephone, picked up the phone, and as soon as she heard the voice coming from the phone, the Countess cried out in surprise: "Oh, Vasily, how are you, why did you call me, are you not in England?" Have you come to China? ”

Fu Xinghan translated the countess's words into Chinese and told Ling Yunpeng, and the two of them looked at each other with joy and smiled: "Sure enough, Vasily appeared." ”

At that time, there was no transoceanic telephone line in the country, so it was impossible to make international calls, and most of the Countess's contact with Vasily had been by letters, and the recipient of each letter was Anna, who then quietly handed the postman's letter to the Countess to avoid Count Andrei's suspicion. Since Andrei's death, Vasily had more frequent contact with the countess, sometimes by direct telegram. And this time she received a call from Vasily, which really surprised the countess.
