"Madam, please accept my apologies for disturbing your banquet."

When Colonel Nikolai of the Military Intelligence Directorate appeared, he still behaved very politely. Despite his power in Berlin, this was on the territory of Countess Léony.

"Colonel Nikolai, what a rarity." Leonie's face couldn't tell if it was sarcasm or something else: "I remember you weren't invited on my guest list. ”

"Ah, yes." Colonel Nikolai did not feel insulted: "But I came anyway uninvited, and I have already told your butler, Mr. Depsie, that something has happened that may endanger the security of Germany"

He paused and then said with a gloomy face: "Just now, my assistant Mr. Pompestein and four of his subordinates were murdered in a dastardly manner, and two members of the Intelligence Service disappeared."

"Oh, terrible news." Leonie put away her sneer: "Please express my condolences to the family of Major Pompeistan. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Colonel Nikolai said with a slight bend.

Leonie then asked, "But what I don't understand, what are you doing here with me?" Do you think I murdered your men? ”

"No, no, I didn't mean that." Colonel Nikolai said as he turned his gaze to Wang Weiyi, who was accompanying the countess: "In any case, I will not doubt you, but, Baron Alexon, do you know anything about this matter?" ”

Wang Weiyi shrugged: "Do you ask me?" It's so strange, I really don't know why you would suspect me. ”

Colonel Nikolai was afraid of the countess's rights, but he was not so polite to Wang Weiyi: "Baron Alexon, I know that I have offended you in some ways, and I hope to be able to get your forgiveness, but I am also for the safety of Germany. ”

"I can understand it completely, Colonel Nikolai." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

"Are your men healed now?"

"The injury is almost healed."

"Then I'll be relieved." Nikolai seemed to be smooth, but suddenly said: "Your Chinese friend was interrogated by Major Pompestan, do you think it is possible that after your Chinese friend came out, he began to retaliate?" ”

"It's not possible at all, he's still in bed." Wang Weiyi didn't think about it and said, "What's more, do you think he can be familiar with the roads of Berlin?" Also, you don't believe in his outstanding performance in the Somme, do you think that one man can kill Major Pompestan and so many of his companions"

Several people around couldn't help but smile on their faces.

If Nikolai admits it, it is tantamount to acknowledging how incompetent his military intelligence is.

Nikolai was not angry at all, but nodded approvingly, and after a while, he said slowly: "After Major Pompeistan was killed, I quickly conducted an investigation, according to my investigation, before this, there were two two-wheeled vehicles riding in a hurry, a total of four people sat on them, and the direction seemed to be the Countess here."

"What do you want to say, Colonel Nikolai?" Wang Weiyi asked calmly.

Colonel Nikolai's voice was so calm: "I would be grateful if you could tell me where you were for the last two hours!" ”

In fact, when the news of Major Pombestein's murder reached Nikolai's ears, his first suspicion was revenge from Ernst.

Pompeystein was Nikolai's right-hand man, and his murder also made Nikolai feel distressed, but he also saw an opportunity in it.

If there is really evidence that Pompestein's death had something to do with Ernst, then this is a good opportunity to address him. So even at the risk of offending the countess, Nikolai came.

"Looks like I'm still a suspect." Wang Weiyi smiled: "Since you asked me so, then I can also answer you, for the past two hours, I have been here with the Countess to prepare for her banquet." ”

Nikolai looked at the countess, and Leonie nodded.

Nikolai did not give up: "I believe that the countess must be very busy when she holds such a grand banquet and entertains so many guests, and the baron can't be in the sight of the countess all the time, right?" ”

"Yes." Wang Weiyi replied frankly.

Nikolai's eyes narrowed: "Then even if you leave here for a while, you won't be discovered, is that right?" ”

"Yes." Wang Weiyi still said lightly.

Nikolai couldn't think of what he would answer so simply, and at this moment a voice on the side suddenly said: "I can prove that Baron Alexon has been staying in the manor." ”

Nikolai looked at it, it was Steward Depsie.

Depsie said very calmly: "Colonel, when Baron Alexon came, he stayed with his Chinese friends, ah, and Baron Fritz and Baron Manfred, and you may ask me what I know about Lu, because I went to bring them coffee twice during this time, and I can confirm that I saw them both times. Unless they have the ability to run and kill people in such a short period of time, and then come back safe and sound. ”

Depsie is the equivalent of the Countess's spokesman, and his words are definitely worth trusting.

But Nikolai still didn't give up: "Pompestein was a little rude in dealing with Baron Alexon's Chinese friend, I heard that he lives here now, can I go see him and express my apologies to him?" ”

"Yes." The Countess nodded in agreement with Nikolai's request.

When Nikolai saw Guo Yunfeng, his eyes did not fall on Guo Yunfeng, but kept searching in the room.

Soon, his eyes fell on a few cups of coffee on the table. Nikolai pretended not to care, walked up, glanced at it, and saw that all three cups of coffee had been drunk.

Depsie was right, and the Ernst had been drinking coffee here. Then Ernst's suspicion can be ruled out.

The question is, who else would have done it if it wasn't Ernst? Could it really be that a British spy had infiltrated Berlin?

Nikolai calmed his emotions for a moment: "I'm sorry to disturb your banquet, Baron Alexon, I also admire your bravery, and I hope to have a chance to see you on the battlefield." ”

"If only the Colonel would be willing to go into battle with a weapon instead of staying in the shadows all the time." Wang Weiyi said lightly.

Ignoring his sarcasm, Nikolai once again expressed his apologies, and then left the countess's estate in a hurry.
