Nine hundred and forty-one. Minister of Security
Probably no country is more fond of banquets than the old Russian aristocracy.
They are able to find any excuse to host a banquet at any given time, and there will be a variety of banquets almost every month or even every week.
But Russian Finance Minister Andreas held a slightly different banquet this time, and today is his sixtieth birthday.
As a confidant of Grand Duke Gregory of Belstoka, a grand banquet like this must be attended by all those who receive invitations.
Even those who don't get an invitation will always find a way to blend in. If they can occasionally get the appreciation of a big man at the banquet, then their future prospects are limitless.
It is precisely for this reason that when it was not yet dark, quite a few people had already appeared outside Andreas Manor.
As the sky grew darker, the outside of the manor suddenly became extremely lively. The guys of all stripes of Russian high society, one by one, dressed in gorgeous dresses and in expensive cars, came to Andreas's estate.
The vast majority of the wealth of Russian society is in the hands of these people.
They can live a life of luxury, hungry and unbridled to get what they want. As for the poverty and acute social contradictions of Russian society, they do not have to worry about it at all.
This is a special class of privileges......
To enter the estate, one must go through a strict check, and the invitation signed by Mr. Andreas himself is absolutely indispensable.
When Wang Weiyi got out of the car, he had such an invitation in his hand. Capone's ability to do things is definitely worth trusting.
He still uses the name "Mr. Petergov". The genuine invitation was purchased by Capone at a cost from the secretary of Minister Andreas.
Mr. Andreas did not know how many guests he had invited, and that all of them had been handled by his secretary. All he had to do was sign his name on the invitation.
This invitation letter allowed Wang Weiyi to pass the inspection of the security guard at the gate smoothly......
When entering the manor, Wang Weiyi suddenly had a funny feeling. It's already the sixties, but in Moscow, in the whole of Russia, there is still a group of old-fashioned aristocrats who strictly adhere to the old traditions.
Presumably, this is the case only in Russia......
When I entered the manor, red men and green women could be seen everywhere, and everyone was talking about the banquet with great interest.
"The rebellion in Ukraine can be quelled soon." A fat man was impassionedly giving his speech there: "The wise and brave Grand Duke has personally gone to the front. Those rebels will soon be crushed by the Grand Duke and the brave Russian army! ”
His words drew a round of applause, in fact, what happened in Ukraine has nothing to do with these people, they are doing this just to show their privilege:
They are able to know things that ordinary people don't know......
"As the commander of the garrison in Moscow. I have to admit that Mr. Duyoshenko has the best say in the situation. "A man flatters the way.
At this time, a noble lady asked: "Mr. Duyoshenko, what do you think of the war between the Allies and Germany?" I've heard that we suffered a great defeat at Robinster, and even Marshal Waltukski was almost taken prisoner. ”
"Ah, one defeat isn't enough to turn the tide of battle. Madam. Duyoshenko raised his voice: "How many other cities does Germany have?" Do they want to win with just one Berlin? Yes. I think unless the Germans are crazy or we are crazy. ”
A laugh broke out, but at that moment a discordant voice came: "As far as I know, Germany now has Dresden, Chemness, Leipzig, Potsdam, and Robinster, in addition to Berlin." ”
Everyone turned their heads back.
It was a young man, very well-dressed, and he smiled slightly and said, "Forgive my rudeness, Mr. Commander, but my intention was that we must be more vigilant against Germany. ”
Originally, his own words were opposed by others. Duyoshenko was very angry, but the young man's polite words made him feel something good about the other party: "Ah. I agree with some of your remarks that we must be more vigilant against Germany, but I can bet with any of you that Germany will never win! ”
"You're right, Mr. Commander."
"So now tell me, who are you the young man who suddenly broke into a group of big people talking?" Duyoshenko said in a tone of arrogance.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Peter Gove."
"Petergov?" Duyoshenko frowned: "You are the VIP Petergov who lives in the Grand Hotel of the Imperial, Migrosky?" ”
"Ah, Mr. Commander, it's me."
As soon as it was confirmed, it quickly attracted an exclamation from the guests. "Mr. Petergov", who at this time became even more famous in Moscow than the Grand Duke, but he was too difficult to meet, and he refused all invitations.
Who would have thought that he would actually appear here......
"Aha, Petergov, Moscow is full of legends of the big young rich." Duyoshenko's face was immediately covered with a smile, and for the rich, Mr. Duyoshenko did not hesitate to lower his status: "You see, can you give us some opportunity to make a fortune?" ”
"Marquis Milosevich of Andyak and his wife Marquis Natalia Rukhlya, Marquis Khmelitsky of Pereas and his wife Marquis Khaldish Ronanova have arrived!"
With this melodious voice, two newly promoted figures of power in Moscow appeared in the estate, which quickly aroused a round of applause from the guests.
When they saw Baron Alexson also here, the Milosevics and Khmelitsky did not show any surprise, but quietly nodded at him.
After receiving congratulations from the guests. Finding a suitable opportunity, Khmelitsky, who was infinitely grateful to the baron, whispered: "How did you end up with that incompetent fat man?" ”
"What does that mean?" Wang Weiyi was a little curious.
Khmelitsky's face showed obvious disdain: "Don't you know what to do with him? Everyone in Moscow knew about his stupidity. His wife Nataeva and Security Minister Lilipolsky have been committing adultery for a long time. Duyoshenko also knew what he said, but he did not dare to offend His Excellency the Minister of Security for the sake of his position. ”
"Oh. And such a thing? Wang Weiyi was obviously interested: "Is Lilipolsky here too?" ”
"Yes, that is." Khmelitsky pointed not far away, and the Minister of Security, Lilipolsky, was talking to the owner of the place, Andreas.
Wang Weiyi nodded, and at this time he suddenly had a wonderful idea in his heart......
The music stopped, and Andreas thanked the guests, and when he had said that, the music started again. The banquet officially began.
Amid the melodious dance music, the commander of the Moscow garrison, Duyoshenko, came to Wang Weiyi's side again: "Look, I think we can continue the conversation just now. Is it? ”
"What conversation?" Wang Weiyi was confused.
"Ah, did I say that you have any chance of getting rich there......" Duyoshenko did not hide his greed in the slightest: "You see, although I am a commander, my salary is pitiful. I have a large family to raise. And you? You are a super-rich man. You've probably never had to worry about money? I guess if you have any good projects that you can give me a boost. You will earn my loyal friendship. ”
This shameless fat man, Wang Weiyi said with a smile on his face: "I think when we can find a chance to have a good talk." ”
Duyoshenko immediately became excited, he stretched out his hand and said: "I want me to visit you tomorrow, if you allow it." ”
"Of course, I'm looking forward to your visit." Wang Weiyi also stretched out his hand.
When the hands of both sides were released, Wang Weiyi casually slapped his sleeve, and then a button on Duyoshenko's sleeve used as an ornament was already held in his palm......
"Mr. Petergove, God. Didn't expect you to actually come. The voice of Grand Duchess Sorkina came.
When Wang Weiyi turned his head, he saw Solkina with a look of surprise: "Yes." Grand Duchess, I have been thinking about you since I parted with you, so I did whatever it took to get an invitation. ”
Fortunately, there was no one else around but them, otherwise the crimson of the Grand Duchess's face would soon become a topic of discussion. Solkina's face turned crimson: "You are so frivolous, Mr. Petergov. If the Grand Duke hears that, I think you'll be hanged by him. ”
"I don't think I'm light, I'm just expressing my true feelings." Wang Weiyi said solemnly: "As for the Grand Duke? He can't stop my love for you, it's a normal man's nature. ”
Although she couldn't help but blame the other party for being open-mouthed, Solkina was still sweet in her heart......
"How long will you be here? Mr. Petergov? ”
"Stay until you leave......"
Solkina's face turned red again.
This is a hateful, but likable guy.
"Well, I hope you don't leave me alone." Solkina smiled, "But I have to leave you now, or God knows what kind of crazy things you will say." ”
Wang Weiyi watched her leave with a smile on his face, but then his complexion changed, and he turned his gaze in another direction.
That's Lilipolsky, whom he had been watching......
He noticed that Lilipolsky was also looking around, and then quickly dodged into the castle behind him.
Wang Weiyi quickly followed.
Andreas's castle has countless rooms, enough for a small half of the guests.
Unbeknownst to him, Lilipolsky had a trailing man behind him, and he made his way to the third floor, and then quickly entered a room.
Wang Weiyi also flashed into the room next to him......
This kind of old-style castle is not very well insulated. Therefore, the master's bedroom and the servant's bedroom are often far apart. And here, Wang Weiyi could clearly hear what was happening in the next room.
The voices of Lilipolsky and a woman came, if I guessed correctly. This woman is none other than Duyoshenko's wife, Nataeva.
Then came the moans of men and the cries of women.
Wang Weiyi knew too well what this sound was......
He lit a cigarette and waited patiently, the man and woman next door didn't last very long, and Wang Weiyi put his ear to the wall.
"Ah, dear, I don't think you should stay here too long......"
"I think so. I'm going to have some more speeches in a minute, and I hate talking to those idiots...... You go out first, I'll come down in a moment...... Yes. I think your husband has been waiting for you for a long time......"
"That fat pig? Leave him alone, will you come to me tomorrow afternoon? ”
"I'm afraid not tomorrow, but I think I'll be free the day after tomorrow......"
"Then the day after tomorrow, I'll see you later. My dear. ”
"I'll see you later. My dear. ”
After a while, the sound of the door opening was heard, and then the sound of high heels faded away.
It's almost time.
Wang Weiyi tidied up his clothes, walked out of his room, and then pushed open the door of the cheating man and woman.
"Ah, dear, why are you back again......" When Lilipolsky, who had just dressed, turned his head, a smile froze on his face: "Who are you?" ”
"Here they all call me Mr. Petergove." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "But I actually don't like this name very much." I prefer to be called Baron Alexon. ”
"Baron Alexon?" Lilipolsky muttered the name again, and his face suddenly changed: "Skeleton Baron? ”
"Ahh I guess you can call me that, too. Wang Weiyi was still smiling there, and then a pistol with a silencer appeared in his hand: "I feel very sorry, in my plan, you are not a victim, and I have not heard your name for a long time." But there is no way, after Gregory leaves, there are only three people in charge of Moscow's security, Milosevic, Khmelitsky and you, so I must get rid of you. ”
"For what?" Lilipolsky never dreamed that such a thing would happen: "Why do you want to do such a thing for them? ”
"For the last victory of Germany!"
After Wang Weiyi finished saying this, the muzzle of the gun in his hand jumped slightly...... Lilipolsky collapsed in a pool of blood.
Wang Weiyi was not completely reassured, he came to the corpse and fired several more shots at Lilipolsky's head at close range. Then he shoved something into his hand.
Then, he calmly left here......
......
"Haven't you found the Minister of Security yet?" Andreas looked at the time and looked a little impatient. It was almost time for Lilipolsky's speech, but His Excellency the Minister of Security never showed up.
"Still haven't found it."
"Let's go to the castle." Andreas lowered his voice: "Especially the third floor. ”
The relationship between His Excellency the Minister of Security and Nataeva is well known, and Andreas has prepared a room for Lilipolsky in his own castle, where they can rest assured of a bold tryst.
After waiting there for a while, his butler rushed over with a pale face: "Master, something happened, His Excellency the Minister of Security is dead." ”
"What?" Andreas's face changed drastically: "Dead? ”
"Yes, there was blood everywhere, as if he had been beaten to death, and I didn't dare to touch his body, for fear of destroying the scene."
Something really happened, the Russian security minister died in his own castle, and if he couldn't find out the cause of death, he couldn't get rid of it.
"Go, bring the Chief of Police, Mr. Khmelitsky, and the Deputy Minister of Security, Mr. Milosevic, here, and do not alarm any of the guests......"
......
Standing in front of Lilipolsky's body, everyone didn't know what to say.
Lilipolsky was shot in the chest and fired five shots in the head at close range, who can do so unless there is a deep hatred?
However, Milosevic and Khmelitsky still had some joy in their hearts, Lilipolsky was their immediate boss, and now that he is dead, they have the final say on the security of Moscow.
However, it was a Russian minister who died.
Khmelitsky crouched down, carefully examined the body, and after a while he stood up and took something he had found from Lilipolsky: "What do you see here? ”
This is a decorative button on the sleeve that is easy to remove. The buttons look special, and the decoration on them is a hideous-looking polar bear.
"I think I've seen a button like this somewhere." Milosevic said with a frown.
"Yes, I've seen that too." Andreas's face darkened: "This is a reward from His Majesty the Tsar to a minister, and I know who he is." ”
He took a long breath and said word by word: "Commander of the Moscow garrison, Duyoshenko!" ”
Several people gasped at the same time, God, could it be that Duyoshenko killed Lilipolsky?
It is also not impossible that Duyoshenko has been wearing a green hat for many years, or this time he could not stand it anymore and assassinated his rival in love while all the guests were attracted to the banquet.
It's just that such a thing is too big to even be beyond their jurisdiction! (To be continued......)
