Chapter 213: The Police and the Hymn

"Tony, I think there's something wrong with the way this Emisha looks at you!" Beth said to Monet while the two were alone.

Monet naturally knew that this was the trouble caused by his phone call, but he naturally couldn't tell Beth about this kind of thing, so he said perfunctorily: "Hey, who made me too attractive!" ”

"Narcissism!" Beth snorted coldly.

The two were talking, and suddenly Amisha came over with a wine glass: "What are you talking about, so happy?" ”

"I'm talking about you, ma'am!" Monet replied with a smile.

"Me? What do I have to talk about? Emisha asked curiously.

"Because Madame, your charm is too great, so Tony is already in love with you!" Beth quipped.

This answer shocked Amisha a little, but immediately reacted: "How is it possible, as far as I know, Mr. Monet has a lot of beautiful girlfriends!" ”

"But madam, you are also from London, and the charm of your fellow countrymen is unmatched by others!" Then he said goodbye: "Okay, don't bother your fellow villagers to catch up, I'll go see Pete!" ”

After Beth left, Emisha suddenly asked bluntly, "Mr. Monet, did you make that phone call?" ”

Monet didn't expect Emisha to be so direct, but since everyone asked so, it seemed too unruly if he dodged again, so he nodded and replied, "That's right, it's me!" ”

"And what do you mean by that call?" Emisha asked.

Monet leaned in and whispered, "Have you noticed that you have lost a pocket watch and a hundred and fifty pounds in your house after that night?" ”

Emisha was about to ask, "How do you know?" But then he reacted, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Then, you were there that night?" ”

Probably because her voice was so loud that it caught the attention of the others, Baha came over and teased, "Tony, you're actually talking to Lady Emmisa about the evening, oops, that's so curious!" ”

"Baha, you're mistaken, we're talking about the cabaret show that the Castel Dance Company put on a month ago!" Emisha explained.

"Oh! It turned out to be a musical and dance drama, and it seems that I did misunderstand! ”

Not long after the next game began, Emisha excused herself to leave early, but gave Monet a look before leaving, so Monet would leave quickly, and sure enough, as soon as he walked out, he saw Emisha standing at the door of his car.

After getting in the car, Emisha smiled and said to Monet: "I really didn't expect the great writer Mr. Monet to be a thief!" ”

"I didn't expect that the socialite Lady Emisha was once a murderer!" Monet sneered.

"What do you mean by mentioning this to me?" Emisha asked.

Monet shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe you won't believe it, in fact, I really don't have any intentions, it's just to see an old friend and want to say hello, in fact, I didn't know your name at the time, I just remembered your face!" ”

"When did you come in?" Emisha asked again.

"When your sister told you to go downstairs and look for a knife!" Monet replied casually.

"When I went downstairs looking for a knife...... Amisha recalled, but then changed color and said, "Well, then you should see more than just my face......

Monet nodded and replied, "That's right, it's a beautiful scenery that I will never forget in my life!" ”

"You! You! Emilya waited for Monet to "you" for a long time, and then said deflated: "Were you alone at that time?" ”

Monet shook his head and replied, "No, and my brother, but he died more than ten years ago!" ”

"yes, this was twenty years ago, hey, time flies so fast!" Emisha sighed.

"Uh, can I ask a question?" Monet asked tentatively.

"Ask!" As she spoke, Emisha picked up a cigarette and lit it.

"Why did you and your sister kill your brother-in-law at that time?" Monet asked curiously.

Emisha spat out the smoke ring, and then replied hatefully: "Because that beast is not human, not only did he treat my sister badly, but he also wanted to rape me, and my sister killed him in a fit of anger!" ”

"So your sister is very powerful!" Monet sighed.

Emisha shook her head and replied, "It's just that the brute is defenseless!" ”

"Then how did you dispose of the body, and you haven't let the police find it for 20 years?" Monet asked again.

This time Emisha didn't answer: "You don't care about this, because I used the same method this time." ”

Monet knew that she was talking about her husband this time, because her brother-in-law's case had passed the prosecution period, but her husband's case was not over, so he changed the subject and asked, "Then you and your sister came to New York?" ”

"Of course it can't be, after all, we were all the main suspects at the time, how could we leave immediately, we only came here in 1913, but it's okay, if it was in 1912, maybe we would have taken the Titanic with you!" Emisha explained.

Then he said to Monet: "Actually, I really admire you, your experience in New York is even more exciting!" ”

"I'm sure your experience will be wonderful!" Monet chimed in.

Unexpectedly, Emisha said faintly: "I'm not wonderful, I can only say that it is twists and turns, and if it is written, it will also be a tragedy!" ”

"Tragedy or comedy depends on the ending, for example, if you only watch the first half of "The Count of Monte Cristo", it is definitely a tragedy, but in fact, you will feel very happy when you see the end!" Monet persuaded.

"After all, I like to use metaphors for everything. So what do you think your life looks like? Emisha asked with a chuckle.

"Me? I really haven't thought about it! After thinking for a while, Monet said, "If you barely say it, 'The Police and the Hymns!'" (O'Henry's masterpiece, I don't know if it's in the current text.) )

Emisha thought back for a moment before remembering the content of this article: "The Police and the Hymn? But that doesn't look like your experience, right? ”

"That's why I said reluctantly, but the kernel is still about the same, and you can't get what you want, but when you don't want it, maybe it's suddenly given to you without warning!" Monet explained.

"You mean going to jail? Do you want to go to prison? Emisha asked, puzzled.

"Of course I wouldn't want to go to prison, prison here just represents a place I really want to go to"

PS: Mr. Alexandre Dumas can definitely be called the originator of Shuangwen, "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Three Musketeers" cover almost all the routines of Xiaobaiwen now, and his life can be said to be a harem text......
