Rachkovsky knew that they might have gone into hiding, maybe they had run away to a foreign country, but it was more likely that they were caught by Lin Yiqing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now Radchkovsky has a deeper understanding of Lin Yiqing's horror.

At present, the intelligence network in London has lost all contact with the headquarters of the spy bureau in St. Petersburg, and if you want to launch a counterattack against Lin Yiqing, you must find a way to contact those who are hiding.

What to do?

At night, the surface of the lake was dark from the shore, and nothing could be seen, and a cold wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness. The night became more calm and serene.

It's a small town in south-west London, surrounded by scenic landscapes and villas.

From these luxurious buildings, lights can be shot from time to time, and red, yellow, blue, and green colors swing on the surface of the lake, forming a beautiful picture. But in an instant, a gust of wind blew, and as if by magic, they disappeared and reappeared.

Somehow, tonight, there was a chill in the air. A meteor suddenly streaked across the lake and disappeared into the night.

Pavlov took advantage of the night to touch the lake.

Now he is no longer the military attache of the Russian legation in London, but has become a thief.

Although there may be people everywhere arresting him, he decided to "do it" before leaving the UK.

I can't go back to Russia with nothing.

He whispered to the two boats parked there, "Hey, are you there?" ”

Soon, a dark shadow appeared in the boat.

"Let's go! I could already hear the wheels of the carriage, and those two guys were probably coming back. ”

"Well, we're all set, chief."

Then the two boatmen put their oars into the water.

"Okay, let's go!"

Pavlov climbed onto the road from the grassy embankment, and a light four-wheeled carriage quietly approached and stopped in front of him.

Two men with overcoat collars jumped out of the car. The brim of their hats is low, which hides their faces.

Pavlov shone a flashlight and recognized the two men as his men Gennady and Boris.

They were both young, just over 20 years old. Gennady was a sharp-eyed and malevolent man, and at first glance he knew to be a terrible person; And Boris is a delicate-faced, amiable young man. He was well educated and everyone liked him.

Judging from his speech and demeanor, he must have been born in a good family, and he must have had his last resort to get to where he is today.

They took off their hats and greeted Pavlov.

"How's it going?" Pavlov asked in a whisper.

"It's all figured out, that guy has taken the 7:40 train to London."

"What you've seen with your own eyes? Well, it's just past 8 o'clock. Coachman, you get the carriage away and come to pick us up at half past nine, this is not the place to park, it will attract attention. ”

After saying that, the coachman quietly drove the carriage away, and the three of them got into the boat in the lake one after another.

Pavlov and Boris shared a small boat, and Gennady got on the other small boat.

"Did you two really see Councillor Dunlop go to London?"

"Boss. Why are you so verbose today, this is not like your usual style! Boris said with a smile. He has always been very easy-going and educated in front of Pavlov, as if Pavlov was his father and his brother, and he was not afraid of Pavlov in front of other subordinates, so Pavlov liked him very much.

"What is Congressman Dunlop doing in London? Do you know? ”

"He's gone to the opera, so he'll never come back before midnight, but ......"

"But what?"

"The old guy often comes home halfway through the show, so we have to finish it as soon as possible."

"An hour is enough, is there anyone else in the room now?"

"No, the butler and maid left after eating. A valet named Lycock also went to London with the councillors. ”

"Did you get the key?"

"Only a door key."

"Where's the villa?"

"Look, it's that one, and the yard is next to the shore of the lake."

Boris pointed to the right bank of the lake with his hand.

After a while, two small boats rowed into a bay. On the pier by the lake, a dilapidated shed is set up for stacking goods. Councillor Dunlop's villa looked lifeless in the starlight, without any life.

"Hey, there's someone in the house, look at the lights."

"Well, that's a gas lamp for lighting at night! You see, doesn't it even move? ”

Gennady, who rushed ashore first, hurriedly replied.

"Well, you guys are waiting here."

Pavlov gave the boatman an order, and the three of them climbed up the path together. They pushed open the gate of the fence, walked through the courtyard, went around to the main entrance, unlocked it, and sneaked inside. There was a gas lamp in the foyer.

"That's the light we just saw."

"No, that's not what I saw. Be careful, there may be people in the house. ”

They crept down the hallway. However, as soon as he pushed open the door of the restaurant, he heard a scream, and then someone forced the door shut from the inside.

"Hey, there's someone in there."

The three of them pushed the door open, and the people in the room ran to the pantry, desperately trying to open a locked window, and shouted:

"Someone! Strong...... Thieves, murderers! ”

The man yelled like crazy.

"Don't shout, we won't kill you."

Pavlov caught up with the man from behind and grabbed him by the shoulder. The man turned around, a gun in his hand.

Pavlov was quick and lay on the spot. Then a gunshot was heard, and the dishes and bottles on the table shattered to the ground.

Pavlov hurriedly grabbed the man by the legs, threw him to the ground, and said: "Gennady, tie him up for me." ”

"yes, this guy is Liccock. He didn't go to the theater, but he came back to eat. ”

"I expected this kind of bad luck to happen, why didn't you figure it out beforehand?"

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Forget it, where's the thing?"

"Upstairs."

Upstairs in Congressman Dunlop's house, there were carvings, famous paintings, and all kinds of arts and crafts, and even Pavlov couldn't help but be surprised.

"This guy is just a councillor, and he's collected so much art! I've never heard of him being a rich man, so he probably got all these things by improper means!

"This Dunlop is really not a good thing, and we can count as retribution for stealing his things."

Thinking about it, Pavlov called the two boatmen in and instructed them to move the treasures upstairs one by one. In less than 30 minutes, the boat was full.

"You get this ship away first."

Soon the two boatmen rowed the boat away. Pavlov watched them sail out of the bay before returning to the dacha with confidence. As he passed by the restaurant, he faintly heard a moaning sound coming from inside, and when he walked in, he realized that it was the servant Liccock moaning.

"Call again! and put your mouth on it! Pavlov said viciously.

The servant did not answer, but lay down on the ground. Pavlov ignored him and went upstairs.

At this time, I heard a fragmented voice downstairs: "Help! Come to the rescue, police...... Reddy Town, Dunlop Villas. Hurry, hurry. ”

"This idiot! Here, no matter how much you shout, no one will be able to do it. ”

Pavlov stepped up the stairs and ran up to the second floor, where he saw Gennady and Boris looking for something.

"Hey, what are you looking for? Let's go, time is running out! ”

"Yes, but let's find it a little longer."

"Alright, don't look for it."

The two of them stood up with some reluctance, but they still searched around with their reddened eyes.

"Don't be too greedy, or you'll be unlucky."

Hearing what Pavlov said, the two of them had to listlessly carry what Pavlov had picked up onto another small boat. However, after moving out, the two of you look at me, I look at you, it seems that you still want to stay and find something.

"Hey, let's go!" Pavlov shouted loudly in the boat.

"Okay, boss, but let's go up and find it again, it will only take five minutes."

"What the hell are you looking for so hard?"

"Well, it's a small box with a lot of priceless ancient artwork in it."

"That's what I'm looking for! Okay, let you go up again, but only give you 10 minutes, and don't wait! ”

The two of them hurried into the house. But this time he didn't come back, and Pavlov was a little anxious.

"Why haven't you come back for so long?"

"As soon as I got here, I thought they were acting strangely, and they were both suspicious of each other, so that they could take advantage of each other's inattention. It seems that what they are looking for must be important. ”

Pavlov left the boat and went ashore. Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, he listened to the sound of horses' hooves and wheels faintly from the direction of the town.

"Oh no, it could be the police force."

Pavlov immediately ran to the door of the dacha and looked out into the street. At this moment, there was a "bang" in the house, and he hurriedly ran back to the house to investigate.

I saw Gennady and Boris fighting in the restaurant.

"What are you doing?"

Boris had already pressed Gennady under him, then turned over his body, snatched something and stuffed it into his pocket. Gennady fainted, blood gushing from his shoulders and staining the floor red.

"Hey, why did you shoot him?"

"It's not me, it's the servant Leacock."

"Don't talk nonsense, he's tied up there, how can you shoot him?"

"He'd long since broken free of the rope. As soon as we came in, he fired a shot without a word. ”

Boris gasped. Pavlov looked closely, and there was blood on his mouth as well.

"What? Breaking free of the rope? Could it be that the servant has already run away? ”

As he spoke, Pavlov ran to the next door to take a look, and couldn't help but let out an "ouch", only to see that Lykok had a short sword stuck in his neck, and he had been dead for a long time.

"Did you kill him?" Pavlov asked angrily.

"No, it's Gennady. Because he had been shot first, he killed the servant with a sword in a fit of rage. ”

By this time, the voices of the convoy and the horse team in the distance were already very close, and Pavlov knew that there could not be a moment of delay.

"Huh? You listen...... There was a strange sound. Boris said.

"What?" Pavlov listened intently, and sure enough, he heard a strange sound.

It was a voice that I couldn't tell what it was, low and hoarse, as if it had come from a distant hell.

Although Pavlov was very bold, he also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this voice, and even his hairs stood on end.

He crouched on the ground, listening carefully to the direction of the voice, as if it were coming from the dead Lycock.

Strangely surprised, he handed the flashlight to Boris and told him to shine it on Liccock, while he stepped forward. The sound is indeed coming from here. But he's been dead for a long time.

"How can a dead man make a sound?" Boris turned blue with fright, and his flashlight fell to the ground.

Pavlov looked at the corpse for a long time, and suddenly "haha" burst into laughter and turned the corpse over.

"Hey, I'm being scared by this thing, look!"

It turned out that there was a telephone pressed under the body. "Hey, hey...... Can you hear me? Reply, are you hurt? Hey, is it still there? This is the police station, we have sent someone, we will be there soon, hey...... Hey......"

The voice coming from the phone was muffled by the corpse, and it became this strange voice. Now that I understand, there's nothing to be afraid of.

The sound was no longer terrifying, but the situation was dire, as the police were about to arrive.

The servant, Liccock, whose hands and feet were tied, did not keep his mouth shut, so he arched the telephone on the table to the ground, hid it under his body, and called the police station.

"No wonder this guy was crying and talking there in his mouth, it turned out that he was talking on the phone, and it was really our mistake not to notice this! Quick, Boris, you hurry up and carry Gennady to the ship, and we'll go! ”

The two of them were just about to leave when they heard the sound of the iron gate outside, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps in the courtyard.

"Oh no, the police are coming!"

Pavlov hurried to the door and tied it from the inside.

There was a knock on the door before and after, and the police had already surrounded the entire house.

"Hey, Boris! I have a way to escape from here, but you may be caught. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, I'll save you when I escape, or all three of us will be doomed! Let's do it! After Pavlov finished speaking, he first helped Boris carry Gennady to the reception room, then wiped a handful of blood from him and smeared it on his face, saying: "I have to put on a good show, otherwise you and I will all be saved." ”

After saying that, he took Boris to the ground, and then rode on Boris himself, and fired three shots in one hand, which shattered the window glass.

The policeman heard the gunshots and hurried to the window. As soon as he saw the police, he shouted, "I'm here, help me...... I've got the badass, come on! ”

Hearing the cries for help, the police smashed the glass from the window in an attempt to get in.

"Hey, man, you must not confess after being caught, wait for me to save you; Also, I saw you snatch something from Gennady, what is it? Give it to me. ”

Hearing him say this, Boris took a small object from his body and stuffed it into him.

"Chief, this is a precious thing, you must keep it carefully."

"I see, I'll keep it for you...... I, here they are. ”

Two or three policemen jumped in, and Pavlov grabbed the little thing, and before he had time to see what it was, he reached out, deliberately grabbed Boris by the throat, and shouted:

"Policeman, catch him......" he exclaimed, feigning that he was out of breath.

Immediately, Boris and Gennady, who had just come to his senses, were tied up. Pavlov patted the dust off his body and said to the policemen:

"Thank you for saving me! I almost died at his hands. ”

"You're so polite. We should be thankful for helping us catch the prisoner, it looks like you're hurt. ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's not bad."

"Who are you?" A policeman asked, a little surprised.

"I'm a friend of Councillor Dunlop. Something came to him at 8 o'clock tonight, and the servant told me that he was going to London to-night, and as he was talking, these two robbers came, and we resisted desperately, but Riccock was struck by the sword. ”

"Oh, robbery, murder......"

"Yes, the servant's body is next door. Before I got started, I called the police station. ”

"Yes, we received your call and we came."

Seeing that Pavlov, dressed as a gentleman and full of gentlemanliness, said these well-reasoned words, the police did not suspect him, and took him to the living room to rest. Then go to the scene and collect evidence.

"There was a homicide in the villa and we must inform Mr. Councillor as soon as possible. As to who killed the servant, only the friend of the councillor, the injured gentleman, knew about it, so he was invited to come here and record his confession. ”

As soon as the captain said this, his men immediately went to Pavlov. After a while, he returned dejectedly and reported: "The gentleman is not in the house. ”

"Hurry up and find it."

Another policeman reported: "He had just seen the gentleman walking towards the lake alone with a cigarette in his mouth. ”

When the captain heard this, he immediately ordered someone to go to the lake to look for him.

"The gentleman got to the dock by the lake, hurriedly jumped into a small boat, and rowed away." The person who came back reported.

"What?" The captain thought for a moment, jumped up from his chair, and shouted: "Catch him, this man is acting suspiciously!" ”

He looked at Boris and Gennady again, and said viciously: "These two guys are minor characters, and the one who escaped is the main culprit." ”

The captain immediately called a few to stay and guard, and he ran to the dock with two policemen.

When I got there, under the starlight, the boat was already more than 100 feet offshore, and it was speeding towards the opposite shore.

Pavlov in the boat rowed the boat while waving his hat and singing as if jokingly.

It was clear that he was smug and the police were fooled again.

When appropriate, he didn't mind taunting the incompetent British police. (To be continued.) )
