Just as Agnes was finally settling down in a small town, a quarrel was raging in another place not far from her.

And the focus of the quarrel was right around her, even though she didn't know anything about it.

"So, you still haven't found her?"

In the room of a country house, Kong Ze frowned and looked at the thin man opposite.

This man is the habitual thief he had found in London before, because the other party is now quite well-known in the UK, so Kong Ze entrusted him to help him find someone a few days ago.

By the unquestionable orders of Madame de Treville, to be precise, he must find the man by all means.

The smell in the room was very bad because of the cured meat, and it was a hot and humid day when it had just rained, so the discomfort was even worse.

Kong Ze endured the disgusting ** in his heart, and looked at the man opposite with a frown.

"It's still not working." The person sitting across from him shook his head helplessly, "None of my people have reported seeing that woman. ”

"I was looking forward to you." As soon as he heard the other side answer, Kong Ze couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, "And you told me that there was no progress at all?" ”

"You know, it's not so easy to find people in this world! Especially in this already overcrowded broken island! Perhaps because he was provoked by Kong Ze's attitude, the other party's tone also became stern, "Especially since you only gave such a little time!" ”

"But they're all very distinctive, not as recognizable as ordinary people." Kong Ze retorted quietly. "I remember telling you in detail what the young lady looked like. I've even sketched with you. And I've already told you where she's now—sir. We're all insiders, so don't talk about that kind of layman's talk. Is it really that hard to find a foreigner woman who suddenly arrives in a place that is not very busy? Especially in the hands of someone like you who has a lot of connections? ”

"They're very distinctive, but even that doesn't mean you can find them!" Because Kong Ze's attitude was always calm, the other party's tone did not soften by half a minute, "If you really want to find someone instead of coming with me, then please wait for me for a while!" Instead of urging me twice for three days! ”

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so tough, Kong Ze bit his lip lightly, and finally didn't let himself get angry and quarrel anymore.

In his heart, he also knew that his request was really unreasonable.

The lady could give orders at will on a whim and on a whim, and there was no room for refusal; And he can't do that to others. At least not yet.

People are indeed inherently different.

That lady was born noble, she was commanding since she was a child, and she never paid attention to anyone, not even any rules, even if she killed her cousin, she did not feel any guilt, not even the slightest hesitation.

Although the father who helped kill the employer sounded a little appalling, since this was the lady's confession, he had no choice but to do what he could. Madame has already given him a charter ticket, and she is responsible for all the consequences.

At the moment, he was not worried about morality, but about how to find out the young lady named Agnes.

Madame's instructions to him. As far as he understood, it was to assist Agnes in killing her cousin and father-in-law, Edgar de Treville, and if she really couldn't, she would do it herself; And Kong Ze looked at it from the perspective of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. There is also a tendency to follow this line - after all, assisting in the killing of the employer's father and killing the employer's father with his own hands are two different things.

Although there is no control over her whereabouts. But knowing that she had come to this country in search of Edgar, all he had to do was cast a net around here. Contact her as soon as she finds out.

However, several days have passed, and he still hasn't received a satisfactory response, which makes Kong Ze, who has always been calm, a little anxious.

Forget it, I still need him now, and I can't turn my face.

"Okay, sorry, I'm a little anxious." After a moment of silence, Kong Ze bowed his head slightly and apologized to the other party. "I just want to get her out of here."

"Then again, why are you in such a hurry to find a woman?" The other party looked at Kong Ze half-jokingly, his eyes flickered a little, as if he had thought of something, "What?" At this age, our police inspectors have finally begun to learn to be fascinated by women? ”

Hmph, why? How do I know why? Kong Ze snorted coldly in his heart.

"I'll give you a piece of advice: if you don't want to die early, you'd better know a little less, and you'd better ask less about things." He glanced at the other party coldly, "In this world, there are many secrets that are enough to kill many people. It is enough for us to be able to live and enjoy everything, is it necessary to know a lot of things? ”

There are secrets that are even worth killing their own father.

Maybe it was because Kong Ze's eyes were too harsh, and the other party inadvertently shuddered.

"Okay, you're just too serious, I'm just joking!" After a moment, he shrugged his shoulders in a smirk. "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously......"

Just when the two of them were still worried about the problem of finding someone that was not going well, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and then a man walked in and spoke in the ear of the habitual thief.

When he saw the other party's slightly widened eyes, Kong Ze's heart moved.

Just as he expected, a moment later, a smile appeared on the other party's face, and he turned his head to look at Kong Ze.

"God forbid, we finally have news!"

"Great...... You've proven yourself to be useful enough. Kong Ze couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Take me there, we don't have time to waste now......"

"Is it over now? It's getting late......" the other hesitated, "if you're going to make a good impression on a lady, it's best to visit her after you've packed yourself." ”

After hearing the other party's euphemistic advice, Kong Ze lowered his head and looked at himself, after a few days of running, his clothes were already messy, and they were still covered with dust,

But so what?

"I don't think she minds how I dress if she knows what I'm going to tell her." Kong Ze stood up.

…………………………

It's already nightfall.

Having just taken a shower, Agnes finally swept away the tiredness of her recent days, and she wore a silk nightdress, enjoying a rare rest from her recent trip.

Although she knew that the most important thing she needed to do now was to rest well and prepare for the final settlement with that person. However, perhaps because of some excitement in her heart, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't sleep.

Yes, despite her apparent composure, she still couldn't contain her excitement at the thought of finally bringing this journey to the end of a journey that had exhausted so much effort.

She reached out and touched the ruby pendant she always wore on her chest—a gift from her sister when she was ten years old.

Don't be in a hurry, just wait a little longer, just wait a little longer...... She muttered to herself.

In the midst of this heart-pounding interval, a soft knock suddenly sounded in her ears.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Agnes originally thought that the person who knocked on the door was her entourage, so she asked casually.

However, to her surprise, there was no echo at the door.

Agnes frowned slightly, then picked up the umbrella that had been leaning against the head of the bed from beside her.

In the course of this ten-year journey, no matter where she went, no matter when she was, her weapons never left her reach.

Agnes carefully stepped out of bed, and then walked to the door, her weapon clutched tightly in her hand.

"Who?" She asked in a whisper.

"It's me, Mademoiselle de Edrien, we met." After a few moments, there was finally an echo at the door.

Is it said in French?

Although the other party seemed to know his identity and name, and although the voice seemed a little familiar, Agnes searched carefully in his head, but did not find any impression.

Anyway, let's see who it is.

Agnes gripped the weapon harder.

Then, she slammed the door open.

The moment the door was opened, the umbrella in her hand stabbed at the person standing in the doorway with great speed, and then stopped precisely at the throat of the other person.

Only then did she have enough time to see who the other party was.

"Is that you?" After a moment of trance, Agnes finally remembered who this man was.

Isn't that one of Charles' men?

Don't...... Agnes had a not-so-good premonition in her mind.

Could it be that Charles knew all this and decided to stop me again?

"It's me, I'm glad you remember me." Kong Ze stiffened and looked at the other party awkwardly, "I think my arrival has surprised you a little." ”

The tip of the umbrella pushed harder, pressing Kong Ze's throat with pain, and he could barely speak clearly.

Agnes looked at him warily, and for a moment made Kong Ze suspect that he was about to be killed.

"Did Charles call you over?" After a moment, she asked coldly.

"No, no, sir...... It's not all known yet. Kong Ze replied with difficulty, "Please don't misunderstand, I have come to you without any malice - on the contrary, I am here to help you." ”

"Help me?" Agnes' eyes widened.

"Yes, help you ......" Kong Ze immediately confirmed. If you want to kill someone. (To be continued......)
