Acat, a maid girl from Normandy, is in a good mood today.

Of course, the reason for the mood is not because he is sweeping the floor with a broom, but because he finally has the opportunity to make a fortune again.

Today, the last time the family asked for employment from the company again, and the company management who had been taken care of and bribed by the boss beforehand really sent himself again. What does this mean? Needless to say? It was as if she saw a pile of glittering gold coins beckoning to her, waiting for her to pick them up.

Because of the denunciation that day, she received 25 francs, which was almost equivalent to half a month's wages. At the same time, it also made her see the opportunity to get more gold coins, and even ...... The leader had promised himself that if he did catch a big fish and defeat some of the thieves or fraudsters, he would give him a bounty of two thousand francs, and that he would be hired as a long-term informant for the police department. If he can really fulfill this promise, then what is the little hard-earned money earned as a domestic helper?

As long as you get that job, you can save some money in the future...... And then...... Then you can live like a decent Parisian......

The young girl, like every young man who has just discovered that he has a bright future, fell into a fifi reverie.

"Hello?"

A low greeting interrupted her thoughts.

She found a man standing in front of her. Although he couldn't see his entire face because he wore thick-rimmed glasses, his face looked fair and wrinkle-free, probably in his early twenties.

"What are you doing?" The young man asked softly. "Need help?"

The voice was low and gentle, and it was clear that the speaker was well-educated.

"Oh, it's nothing, sir, I'm just a little bothered." She hurriedly squeezed out a smile to answer, and the slightly chubby face matched this smile could be regarded as complementing each other.

"Oh?" The young man stared at her, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if smiling. "Life is so short, you should have fun, you don't have to worry too much about things......"

"Xiexie you, sir!" She swept the floor again.

The young man seemed to give only a casual reassurance, and then walked away, making her secretly relieved.

When it was time for dinner, the cook really kicked himself out under the pretext of delivering food. She was about to bring the food into the living room where the guests were, but she was intercepted at the door by the attendant brought by the host, just like last time.

She obediently handed the food to the other party, and then took advantage of the time when the other party entered the room, she quietly walked into the storage room next to the living room, I don't know how much effort it took her to keep the footsteps and the sound of the door closing to a minimum, the charm of the franc is really amazing!

The pantry was used to put some old furniture and sundries, and it had not been planned for a long time, and the air quality was of course very poor, but she didn't realize it, and just tried to put her ear to the wall and listen to the sounds of various guests eating, clinking glasses, and chatting next door.

It wasn't long before a faint voice could be heard from across the wall. It sounds like the voice of the owner of the house.

"Our jihua is almost in the final stage, and the current situation is the right time for us to make a big haode, of course, this does not mean that we should do it immediately......"

"When should I do it?"

"I can't give a specific date because it depends on the situation. In short, now is the time to be ready! That day is coming! ”

"I can still contact ......"

"I have a brother who is in the garrison, and he might be able to help......"

What is this talking about?!

My God!

The young girl was almost stunned. Then she decided to get out of here quickly, wherever she went, to get out of here first, and then to report it to the other side immediately.

Suddenly, she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.

Subconsciously, she turned her head to look.

"Ahh She let out a terrible scream as if she had seen a terrible demon, and then she quickly retreated backwards, knocking down a chair that had been sitting here for a long time with dust, making a loud noise and splashing dust. Then she was brought to the ground and collapsed, looking in horror at the bespectacled young man opposite.

"Miss," Charles looked at each other with a pleasant face, "you must be tired after listening to it for so long, right?" Do you want to take a break first? ”

Fear prevented her from saying a word, just gasping for air.

Charles walked slowly towards the other. "You could have chosen something you didn't know anything about. But you choose to be our enemy...... Since we are already enemies, we do not pay attention to the gender of the enemy. And, unfortunately, we also don't have any capital for mercy towards the enemy right now. ”

Step by step, getting closer and closer, although there were hardly many footsteps, but in her ears it sounded like the roar of a wild beast.

"Ahh The maid girl screamed, fear brought her boundless liliang, she almost jumped up from the ground, then turned and ran towards the door.

However, as soon as she ran to the door, she was hit hard.

With a "bang", she was hit in the neck and fainted.

Charles had already told the servant of Du Taai to wait there.

"What's wrong?" Du Taai, who heard a loud noise downstairs, ran down from the second floor and saw the scene of the mess.

"This guy has been eavesdropping on our conversations." Charles' gaze lingered on the doorway.

Du-Taai took a deep breath. "The government has already discovered this?"

"It's not necessarily said that it was discovered, I'm afraid it's just a suspicion now, otherwise it wouldn't be just a secret agent who came here." Charles replied in a low voice. "But it's definitely not safe here. You wouldn't have bought this villa under your real name, would you? ”

"Of course not. I bought it through someone else, using a pseudonym, at an intermediary company, and I couldn't find it no matter how I traced it. The banker replied immediately.

"That's good."

Then Charles turned to look at Du Taai's henchman. "Has this person been here before?"

"I've been here before." This servant doesn't talk much, but he is strong. "I was sent from a housekeeping company."

"Normally, you don't hit each other twice at the same time, right?" Charles was suspicious.

Du-Taai and his henchmen glanced at each other, and they didn't think something was right.

"Looks like we might be targeted." Charles sighed softly, "Be careful in everything! However, I deliberately said some nonsense just now to delay the time, judging from her reaction, it doesn't look like a professionally trained secret agent, nor does it look like she has done this kind of thing before, she should be an informant who has just been developed...... So, judging from the current situation, we are not deeply suspected enough that there is still a chance to remedy it. ”

Hearing his words, the banker's heart relaxed a little, but he still stared viciously at the maid girl, who was still unconscious. "I'm going to ask her later!"

"Of course you have to ask." Charles nodded, then pulled out his pocket watch and looked at the time. "We're going to deal with it quickly and then disperse as soon as possible."

“haode。” Both agreed at the same time.

Charles suddenly remembered something. "By the way, what about the chef? If it's still there, take it with you and ask! ”

“haode！”

In the moonlight, several carriages galloped out of the stables and marched in different directions. Charles looked back and saw that the villa was already on fire.

"Before I even started, I lost 30,000 francs." Du-Taai said with a gloomy face, almost gritting his teeth, the kindness on his face had been swept away, and his expression seemed to be a little hideous at the moment.

"It's better than losing your life, and when you decided to join in the first place, shouldn't you have had that kind of awareness?" Charles comforted him softly. "And, think about how many of these villas you could earn back if you were successful in your business."

"That's the way it ......," Du-Taai's face lightened a little, "but it's still uncomfortable now......

As they approached the city, Charles stopped the carriage and prepared to get out of it.

"I'll go down here first, and we'll split up."

“haode。” A cold light flashed in Du-Taai's eyes, "I'm going to ask that girl later, who sent her, and what else do you know?" ”

His servant was escorting the maid, who was still unconscious, to another carriage beside her.

"Very well," Charles replied casually, "and remember to inform me of the results of the interrogation then." ”

Then the two preliminarily decided on the location of the next meeting and the code to each other.

Charles didn't ask what to do with the girl after the interrogation, because there was no need to ask.

Is a life supposed to disappear like this? There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

In the future, there will be more on the road you will take next, right? Even if it's not a hands-on one, what's the difference between it and killing someone yourself? No matter how you disguise it, killing is killing people.

This emotion prompted him to suddenly turn his head to look at Du-Taai, and then exhort him aloud.

"Remember to dig a little deeper!"

=========================================

By the time Kong Ze, who was on duty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, learned of the sudden fire, it was already the morning of the next day. Since there were no fatal accidents, the fire did not receive much attention from the local police, and everyone seemed to regard it as an ordinary fire incident, and the report of the rural police was extremely perfunctory.

No one cares what the hell is going on.

Only Kong Ze himself, under Mu Ran's face, was full of turbulent waves.

Not good! It's been discovered!

Frightened, he immediately rushed over there with a few of his men, but when he got there, he found that the building had already been empty, and even the originally exquisite small building had become the remains of broken walls, and there were still fires burning in several corners.

There were no enemies, no more maid girl, there was nothing left here.

What happened? I don't know.

He had no unrealistic expectations, and it was clear that the new informant had no chance to appear in front of him again, let alone tell him what she had heard and seen again.

Anger burned slowly in his calm heart, not for the poor girl who might have died, but for the thread that had been cut off for the time being, for the "achievement" that had been temporarily frustrated. ”

But...... If you think about it......

"Doesn't that mean there's something in there?" Kong Ze, who was pacing back and forth on the ashes, suddenly muttered to himself. "Something unspeakable, something they have to hide even if they don't hesitate to kill people and set fires."

At his feet, the unburned wood let out a whimper of being trampled.

Then he lowered his voice, but with unquestionable conviction.

"You can't escape."
