283 Shulijin
Before 1916 Lovell. Kornilov was nothing more than a soldier in the pure sense of the word, he had little interest in politics, and his greatest desire was to dutifully serve His Majesty the Tsar. But after Gorlice was captured, Corvo's fate took a 180-degree turn. His legendary prison escape made him a household name in Russia, and not only Nicholas II received him, but also newspapers across the country portrayed him as a national hero.
But all this did not make Lao Ke fluttering, his own affairs are his own understanding, Lao Ke himself knows in his heart, although he has heroic behavior, but there is still a distance from the real hero, at least he knows that if he does not have his precious son, I am afraid his prison escape will not be so smooth.
To be honest, for the only baby pimple son, Lao Ke is not very fond of it, this child has a serious habit of squirming, as an old soldier who fought the battlefield to get to today's status, the most disliked is the gentleman.
Once upon a time, Lao Ke was full of worries about the future of his baby son, for fear that his life of wisdom would be ruined in the hands of this kid, especially in the days after he was captured, at that time he was most worried not about the safety of his life, but worried that without his own shelter, Xiao Ke's future would be dark.
However, all this disappeared with the miraculous escape from prison, and the most fortunate thing for Lao Ke was not that he escaped from heaven, but that for the first time, he felt that his son had finally grown up. He remembered hearing from the man who had helped him escape from prison. It was when his son entrusted the relationship to rescue him, he was in tears, and he waited for this day for too long, and even thought it was just a luxury.
From that day on, Lao Ke's attitude towards Xiao Ke underwent a radical change, and reprimands and lessons were replaced more by praise and encouragement. Lao Ke felt that since Xiao Ke had his own way of survival and had broken out of the world, he didn't need to interfere too much.
Of course, Corvo is not unwary of the mysterious organization that assisted him in escaping from prison, for an honest soldier. What I hate most is this mysterious underground organization. He warned Ko more than once that it was best to keep his distance from this organization, but the problem was that Koko, whose wings were already stiff at that time, didn't listen at all. Later, as Lao Ke's status in the army became higher and higher. There were more and more things, especially after the outbreak of the February Revolution, he was so busy that he had no respite, so he naturally put this matter down.
Until this day, when he was sitting in the office discussing the current situation with a few staff, he was completely stunned by a bad news - Xiao Ke died, and he was brutally killed in his villa, and the death was very special and extremely ugly.
When he got the news, Corvo felt that the sky had fallen, and he was not so surprised even on the day when Tsar Nicholas II abdicated. So angry, so sad. He didn't believe it was true at the first time, and after beating up the gendarmes who came to deliver the letter, after this poor worm swore that everything was true, Lao Ke fell on the chair in a dejected manner, he was completely confused, everything he fought for was for his son, and now that Xiao Ke is dead, what is the point of these?
For the whole afternoon, Corvo sat in the office in a daze. No one dared to come and disturb him, who would dare to touch this moldy head with the experience of the gendarme with cups and utensils? Until sunset, Corvo's good friend is also an old partner Anton. Ivanovich. Denikin pushed open the wooden door of his office, only to find that his old friend was drunk by this time.
"Raffle! Lovell! Denikin slapped his old friend in the face. Trying to wake it up, "cheer up a little." Lovell! ”…,
Old Keran opened his eyes, and after seeing who the person in front of him was, he howled and cried: "Anton, Igor, he is dead...... He's dead...... Woowoowoo......"
"I've heard!" Denikin nodded heavily, looking at his old friend who had no previous look, he didn't know how to comfort him for a while. Put yourself in your shoes, if the same tragedy befalls him, his performance may be even more unbearable than Lao Ke!
"Anton, Igor is dead, just like that, he is not yet thirty years old! He still has a great youth...... Woowoo...... I'm not all for him, what's the point of my life now! ”
Corvo poured himself vodka as he spoke, the strong liquor numbing his nerves, and the misty feeling made him feel better for a while.
"My old friend! You can't drink anymore! Denikin snatched the bottle from Corvo's hand, "You don't need alcohol right now!" The only thing that will make you feel better is revenge! ”
Denikin shook Lao Ko and said fiercely: "The first thing you have to do now is to find the murderer, and then pay the debt with blood...... Do you know the way of blood debt and blood payment? ”
Lao Ke stared at the blood-red eyeballs, and the words blood debt and blood repayment seriously stimulated his nerves, and he trembled and muttered: "Blood debt and blood repayment...... Right! Blood debt and blood payment, Anton, you are so right! ”
After saying this, the elder Kornilov broke free of Denikin's hands and rushed out of the office like a madman, staggering at any moment.
Denikin shook his head, hurriedly chased after his old friend, and asked with concern, "Where are you going?" ”
Corvo burped and said in a daze, "I'll go find the murderer!" I'm going to kill him! ”
Denikin shook his head again, hurriedly held Lao Ko up, and asked angrily: "How to find the murderer, do you know who he is?" ”
Corvo shook his head in confusion at first, and then he howled again, and the miserable look was to smell sadness and listen to tears.
"Old friend, don't cry, crying won't solve anything!" Denikin gently comforted, "You go wash your face now and make yourself sober, your current state is terrible, let alone looking for the murderer, I'm afraid it is putting the murderer in front of you." You can't do anything about him! You need to be calm and sober! ”
As a military man. A general who commands thousands of troops and horses galloping on the battlefield, this basic psychological quality is still there, but he was so sad that he completely collapsed. When Denikin re-established the purpose of life for him, the old and calm Kornilov returned.
"Come with me! I'm going to see Igor's last side! Corvo said to Denikin heavily. The latter nodded indifferently, of course he would not refuse this request from his old friend, and even if Lao Ke didn't put it forward, he would take the initiative to ask, he didn't worry about letting Lao Ke, who was close to collapse, face this tragedy alone. God knows what Lao Ke will do under the stimulation of Xiao Ke's corpse.
Little Kornilov's dacha is located on the eastern outskirts of Petrograd, on a scenic plain near the Neva River. Thousands of acres of land around him belong to his property, and Lao Ke remembers that once upon a time, Xiao Ke said that this piece of property was bought by him for Lao Ke to retire. Now that the Si people have gone, there is only an empty house left, and seeing things and thinking about people, Lao Ke's mood is becoming more and more depressed.
In this regard, Denikin does not have any good solutions, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, where is the grief that can be comforted by a few words of painless comfort. Instead of saying a bunch of disgusting Barra's nonsense, it is better to support Lao Ko with practical actions, and helping him find the murderer is the best comfort. …,
Koko's villa is now surrounded by heavily armed police and gendarmes, and from time to time you can see Cossacks patrolling the surrounding roads, and even after the carriage stopped, Koh saw the fat Chief Alexander at first sight, and this fat man was coming up with his ass.
"Your Excellency," Chief Alexander saluted respectfully, squeezing out a few tears and pretending to be in great grief, "for what happened to Ling Lang." I am deeply saddened...... Ling Lang has always been a noble gentleman, and only the devil who is cruel and violent would do such atrocities to him...... Here I just want to assure you on behalf of all the police in Petrograd that you will be sure to let ......"
Director Alexander is here babbling about the painless scene, what grief, what regret. What anger, but the old Ko didn't want to hear a word of these words. Nima, what did you do earlier, now grief, regret, anger and fart!
Corvo didn't pay any attention to Director Alexander, turned around and walked into the house, for him it was better to go and see his son's last side sooner rather than listen to this nonsense.
Poor Director Alexander, whose ass was completely slapped on the horse's leg, watched in embarrassment as Lao Ko left, and he quickly closed his mouth.
"You're the police chief?" Denikin didn't go with Corvo, but looked at Alexander coldly and asked.
Although Director Alexander didn't know who the god in front of him was, the general star on the other party's shoulder told him that this master was not a master to be messed with. Therefore, his attitude became more and more respectful: "Yes, I am the chief of the Petrograd police, may I ask your Excellency?" ”
"Anton. Ivanovich. Denikin, work in the High Command! Denikin said coldly, "Tell me, did you find any clues?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Director Alexander was immediately distressed, there was a fart clue, even the bodyguards in the villa with little Kornilov were all dead, there was nothing alive, it was a headless case at all, how to investigate!
Of course, Alexander naturally won't say this kind of thing, and he is not a rookie in the officialdom on the first day, how to keep his black hat, and what to say on what occasion, he still understands: "Your Excellency, I have mobilized the elite soldiers of Petrograd and devoted myself to the investigation of this murder case, I believe that if we are given enough time, we will definitely be able to arrest the murderer......"
Denikin actually only listened to the first half of the sentence and walked away, Director Alexander will play official, he doesn't plan to listen to official, in short, the fat man in front of him has no clues, since this is the case, there is no need to grind his teeth with him!
Director Alexander's face really can't be hung up, the first one is like this, and the second is the same, yes, you guys are, you are all big names in the military, but Lao Tzu is also Duke Leewolf's person, how much do you have to save some face for me, right? But you guys are good, one is better than the other, what is awesome, the son has chopped people into meat sauce, and what kind of garlic is loaded!
If Denikin had heard Chief Alexander's heart, he probably wouldn't have walked into the scene of the crime, because the scene was indeed too bloody. Even he, who was accustomed to seeing mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, suddenly gasped.
In the bedroom on the second floor. There was blood all over the walls and floor, and the smell of blood almost made Denikin vomit his lunch. Of course, it's nothing just strong, and the more important thing is that the scene is simply miserable, not to mention the two bodyguards who fell on their backs to the ground, but there is a whole corpse, except for the head of Little Kornilov, other parts are simply fragmented, especially the pair of blood-red eyes of the boss, just a glimpse of these eyes. An unforgettable sense of terror arises. …,
Denikin forcibly resisted the discomfort in his heart, and slowly approached the old Kornilov, facing such a bloody scene, even he, an outsider, could not stand it. As a direct party to Lao Ke, there is no need to say what it will be like for him.
The blood-stained second-floor bedroom was silent, and no one, whether it was Denikin or old Kornilov, wanted to speak, except for the whining wind blowing from the broken windows, and the whole room was outrageously desolate.
After a long time, Denikin, who couldn't stand this feeling, finally spoke: "Lovell, you have to resist!" Be strong......"
Before he could finish his words, Corvo suddenly turned his face, and for a moment it almost made Denikin cry out in fright. What a pair of eyes! I can't see a trace of emotional fluctuations, it's cold like a pool of stagnant water, but at the bottom of this pool of stagnant water hides turbulent waves!
At that moment, Denikin was frightened, if it weren't for the fact that this face was an old friend he was familiar with, he would almost mistake the person in front of him for a nightmare in the Nine Shadows, it was terrible!
"I can withstand it! Friends! ”
Old Kornilov spoke, but his voice was as dry as the grinding of a grinder, unusually harsh, unusually uncomfortable. So much so that Denikin swallowed a mouthful of spit. He stammered and asked, "You're okay, are you?" ”
"I'm fine!" Lao Ke resolutely turned his head, stared at Xiao Ke's miserable corpse, and said gloomily: "I'm just too angry!" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and screamed: "What kind of devil can do such a heinous atrocity! ”
Looking at his old friend's shaky body because he was too angry. Denikin was silent about the question. He couldn't answer at all, so he couldn't comfort him.
"Do you really want to know the Dao?"
Just when Denikin didn't know how to speak, a voice suddenly came from behind him. This sound not only startled him, but also attracted Lao Ke's attention.
"Who are you? What do you know about my son's death? ”
Corvo stared at the mysterious man at the door, and could see that he was quite excited, a pair of fists clenched tightly, and vaguely seemed to be able to see blood dripping from his fingers.
"Don't be nervous! Mr. Kornilov! The mysterious man at the door said lightly, "I have no ill will towards you, I just want to help you!" ”
"Help me?" Corvo roared, "Who the hell are you!" ”
The mysterious man didn't take Corvo's anger seriously at all, and said lightly: "I'm really sorry, this was my mistake, I forgot to introduce myself!" Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I am a faithful friend of you and your son - Vasily. Vitalyevich. Shulijin! ”
"Vasily. Vitalyevich. Shulijin? Corvo muttered and repeated, there was no impression of the name in his mind, but Denikin beside him gently "tsk": "You are a member of the Black Centurion!" ”
Shulikin shook his head, as if he disagreed with Denikin's statement, and he solemnly corrected: "General Denikin, please don't call us by the nickname of the mob, our official name is the Russian People's League!" In addition, this is an honorable title bestowed upon us by His Majesty the Tsar! ”
Kornilov frowned, as a soldier, he didn't have a good impression of the Black Hundred, and even felt that the creation of this group by His Majesty the Tsar was a complete failure, and it was not so much a Russian People's League as a Russian Mafia League.
He asked suspiciously, "You said you are my son's friend?" ”
"Of course!" Shulikin replied in the affirmative, "Your son is an important member of our Russian People's League, so to speak, our comrade!" ”…,
"So what?" Corvo asked.
Shu Lijin replied solemnly: "So we are very concerned about his death, and we vow to severely punish the murderer!" ”
Corvo smiled dismally and said with a slight sarcasm: "Are you here to comfort me?" I have to say, your words are no different from the tone of the fat man outside! And whether it is the Black Centurion or the Russian People's League, you have long been forcibly disbanded! I just want to know how a non-existent organization can punish the murderer?! ”
Shu Lijin shook his head: "You are too lonely and unheard, how can an organization that really serves our great country and great people be disbanded by a few clowns!" Our activities have simply gone underground and become more hidden. We have never disappeared, let alone watched our motherland be turned into a miasma by a bunch of shameful clowns, and as long as we breathe a sigh of relief, we will not allow this to happen! ”
Old Kornilov looked at Shulijin indifferently, if Xiao Ke hadn't died, he might have been interested in all this, he had long been blind to the "doing" of the Provisional Government, but now that Xiao Ko is dead, for him, all this will become irrelevant!
"I'm not interested in what you're saying!" Corvo replied rather coldly, "If you're here to comfort me, then now you can go!" ”
Shu Lijin didn't give up, he guided step by step: "I think you will be interested, for example, I can tell you who the murderer is...... I don't think you're interested in revenge, are you?
