While Charles was toasting with Albert, another meeting was taking place in another corner of the same city. And the protagonist of this meeting is the person Charles is worried about.

"How's the recent investigation, Mr. Kong Ze? Is there anything new? ”

In the dark alleys of a certain street, Miss Agnes de Nordlien asked the man in front of her, seemingly casually.

The parasol she carried with her did not open, and she took it in her hand as it was folded, but the danger of this weapon did not decrease by half a point.

Although she used honorific titles in her mouth, her tone was cold and did not have any enthusiasm.

This attitude of indifference and rejection, though not deliberately done by Agnes - she was like this to almost everyone - subtly pierced the strong self-esteem in Kong Ze's heart. He didn't think the duchess had any qualifications to dictate to him.

However, as usual, he perfectly concealed the slight anger burning in his heart under his expressionless face.

"Yes, yes, but it doesn't necessarily make you happy." He replied in a low voice, his tone fluctuating.

"Oh? Excuse me? Agnes was slightly startled.

"We did find some traces of this man named François de Laguion before." Kong Ze lowered his head slightly, "He came to Paris more than three months ago and stayed in a small hotel for a few days, according to the owner's recollection. He seemed to have returned from afar, looking very tired and not carrying much money with him. ”

"And then?" Agnes unexpectedly increased her volume.

"After a few days of staying with this guest. One day, a lady came to visit. Kong Ze continued, "According to the boss's report, this lady looks to be less than fifty years old, although she is not dressed brightly, but judging from her demeanor, she should look like a noblewoman. As soon as she arrived, she ran to the guest's room. And then the two of them seemed to have been talking for a long time......"

"This bitch." Agnes cursed in a voice that only she could hear.

Then, she continued to look at Kong Ze. "And then?!"

Then, the next day, the guest asked the owner to check out. Kong Ze's tone was still unwavering, "At this time, the guest he is now seems to be suddenly much more generous. He thought the guest was the lady's old lover. Got the money from her......"

Agnes frowned, but didn't speak.

"He left the hotel in a horse-drawn carriage, and we went to the coachman. According to the driver's account, we found an apartment, but by the time we traced it, there was no sign of the man, apparently he had left there. And from the accounts of others, we don't get much valuable information. So...... Now we have lost our purpose for the time being. ”

When he said this, Kong Ze's tone couldn't help but carry a trace of regret - they were not police officers after all. There is no way to use too drastic means to "question" so many people.

"In other words, you want to sue me, and now you have nothing to do, right?" Agnes's tone became even more stiff, "This is what you've achieved after working so long?" ”

"It's not fair to say that, miss." Bathed in this gaze, Kong Ze's face and tone still did not change at all, "In order to achieve your sudden commission, we have made great efforts, mobilized hundreds of manpower, and almost turned half of the city upside down......"

"And yet the results were so unsatisfactory." Agnes interrupted him, as if she had no interest in their toil. Naturally, she was in no mood to appease these people now.

This tone pierced Kong Ze's self-esteem even more, he would never tolerate anyone daring to despise him in his work, even if it was Miss Duke, even if it was the boss's aunt.

"It's so unfair if you want to say that, are we the only ones responsible?" He looked up and looked to the side. "You only gave us a name, and then you made us go crazy looking for it in this metropolis, how can we find it?! Isn't it already obvious that the situation is already clear? The person has changed his name, or the name was originally a pseudonym, which is now abandoned and can no longer be found by guò name. And you, beyond that, did not sue us for anything of value! And now you're accusing us of not doing our best? Whose responsibility is this, Miss? ”

Although Kong Ze's tone was not fierce, this accusation still made Agnes change color.

She held the umbrella in her hand tightly, as if she was about to hold her hand.

"Miss, if you want me to do my best to find out this person for you, I think you'd better tell me the truth, only then can I help you better." Under the stern gaze of this duchess lady, Kong Ze's face still did not change at all, "Since you choose to need my help, then you should trust me, otherwise, you are just letting a group of blind people help you, and it will not help the actual situation." ”

After speaking, he didn't say anything more, just looked at the other party defiantly, waiting for her final reply.

Under this slightly rude gaze, Agnes pursed her lips tightly, and fell into a rather hesitant state inside.

Should I give him more information?

If it is revealed to him, then there is a risk that he will probably relay everything he says to his nephew; But if you don't say anything, then it will be difficult to use the power of this group of people to find that person in this city of nearly one million people.

During this time, she had already seen the power of this Kong Ze, and the power they commanded most of the underground gangs throughout Paris, if not used properly. That's a pity.

Besides, even if he didn't say anything, Charles might not be able to learn a qiē after a while. It's better to find that person as much as possible, and then make a time difference, and quickly end the matter before the nephew reacts. At that point, even if he has any opinions, or even wants revenge, it doesn't matter.

After a short period of thought, Agnes finally made up her mind.

"Okay. Sir, you are right, I should indeed rely more on your abilities. She smiled slightly. As if to ease the atmosphere between the two, "I don't have any prejudices or dissatisfaction with you, it's just that your personality is just out of it, please don't take what you just happened to heart." ”

"I'm certainly not in a position to be angry with you. Miss. Kong Ze bowed down respectfully. I just think we should help you in a more reasonable way, and I'm glad you can see that. ”

Agnes was in no mood to say anything more hypocritical to him, and she went on straight to the point.

"Let me tell you more about this person, please listen carefully."

"Speak, please." Kong Ze nodded, then pricked up his ears and listened.

"This man is in his forties, short golden, with a slightly white head and blue-gray eyes. He has a slightly pointed chin and a somewhat thin build. His back was also slightly bowed, his face was pale, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits. Agnes looked up at the sky, and with some expression she continued the description, "He has a very gentle manner, and generally speaks the southern dialect, but in fact the Parisian dialect is also very smooth, and his voice is a little deep. He's very low-key, and now he's not going to be able to use other pseudonyms, but these can't be changed...... In addition, there may be a woman next to him, and you should think of that person as described by the shopkeeper. ”

"Are there any more striking features?" Kong Ze asked in a low voice, "The description you gave is still a little vague, do you know his real name or origin?" Where did he come from? ”

"Nope." Agnes replied a little stiffly, "I don't know any of these things. ”

Her attitude told Sù Kong Ze that it was impossible to get more information.

"Oh, yes......" Kong Ze lowered his head and fell into a deep groan.

According to the habit of the year, he began to draw a character for this person in his heart.

With the passage of time, a character image slowly took shape in his mind, although it was still relatively vague, but after all, it was not the confusion before.

However, even if he had only this little thing, he was confident that he could carry out the commission - because he now had at his disposal a great deal of resources; Because, he must seize the rare opportunity to prove his ability.

"Okay, miss, I'll try, and the next time we meet, I should be able to give you good news." Kong Ze bowed down again and saluted the duchess lady as if respectfully.

………………

The next day, Kong Ze was summoned by Charles to a secret location.

"I heard Albert say you've been helping my aunt find someone lately?" As soon as they met, Charles asked unceremoniously.

"Yes, sir." Kong Ze immediately replied.

The expression was much more respectful than yesterday in front of Agnes.

"Tell me all the situation." Charles stared at Kong Ze.

"Yes."

Then, Kong Ze told Charles everything he knew.

Charles listened quietly, not speaking.

I'm looking for someone who is in a close relationship with another woman...... Is it an emotional dispute?

"How do you judge, Kong Ze?" After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked.

"It's impossible to tell yet, but it does look weird." Kong Ze replied in a low voice, "So what do you want me to do?" Don't help her? ”

"No, no, let's continue to help her find it." Charles shook his head, "However, if you have any abnormalities along the way, you should report them to me, don't worry about wasting my time, understand?" ”

"Yes, sir." Kong Ze immediately replied.

"Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Charles asked softly.

"No, sir."

Kong Ze heard the implicit meaning of Charles's words, so after answering, he immediately bowed again, then turned and left the room.

The moment he turned around, the corner of his eye swept over Charles.

At this time, Charles's face became a little pale because of his busyness, and then he was thoughtful because of the worries in his heart, and his golden head was pulled in his ears, looking listless and preoccupied.

Looks like you've been in a lot of trouble lately, this boss. Kong Ze sighed in his heart.

Then, there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if something unusual had appeared.

What's wrong?

He asked himself.

At that moment, a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Because, in the afterglow, the appearance of Charles de Treville suddenly has an inexplicable resemblance to the writing of François de Laguien (let's call it that name now) in Kong Ze's heart, simply, simply......

It's like talking about the Shire twenty years later.

How like!

After a moment, he couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous idea.

Where do you want to go, it's serious to find talents quickly. (To be continued!)
