【162】Basel, Switzerland

() Gemma withdrew her hand calmly, and said in a low voice: "... Gemma is already very touched that the count can help me to this extent!"

The four of them stayed and took a short rest before Gemma tried to contact her 'illegitimate brother' whom she had never met.

Basel has a long history, is adjacent to the Rhine River, and has convenient transportation. It made important contributions to European trade transshipment in the Middle Ages. Now, although it is divided into the northern city of Basel and the southern Basel Township due to the urban-rural war, the city’s The scenery was not affected at all. ..

The City Hall of Basel, the Venus Hotel in Basel, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Basel are all must-see places for tourists from all over the world.

This morning, the sun was shining brightly. A carriage engraved with aristocratic insignia stopped in front of the Venus Hotel in Basel, and a row of strong men in black walked up the steps quickly.Their heads were covered by thick hat brims, their hands were in their pockets, and pairs of brand new and shiny leather boots were clattering loudly in the empty hotel lobby.

There was no one in the hotel, the lobby manager stared in fear, and while watching the men in black approaching, he touched the alarm button under the counter with his hand, and the back of his neck was covered with beads of sweat.

"Don't be a robber, don't be a robber... Yes, it must not be a robber. If it is a robber, why don't you go to those rich banks? Everyone knows that the big buildings in Basel are Our hotel is the least valuable for robbery!"

..

The supervisor in the lobby muttered silently in his heart, and the leading man in black also walked to the counter.

There was a loud "pop", the lobby manager thought it was a gunshot, closed his eyelids, trembled his fingers, and almost pressed the alarm clock, but waited for him to open his eyes.It turned out that the sound was nothing more than the slap of something on the marble counter.

The huge palm of the leading man in black was pressed on the thing, and his vocal cords made a dull sound with a foreign accent: "I want to stay in the hotel, I want eighteen special rooms! Do you have any?"

Huh, I really came here to stay...

The supervisor in the lobby let out a long breath, and hurriedly left the button with wet fingers, which was only 0.01 cm away, and said with a smile: "Yes. Yes, there are many vacant rooms... Dear guests, please, may I ask your forecasts? How long do you want to stay?"

The lobby supervisor, who has 15 years of experience in running a restaurant, was so annoyed that his tongue was unreliable for the first time, and he also secretly cursed that these men in black should wear black clothes and pretend to be 'robbers'!

The leading man in black pondered for a moment, and said, "The time is uncertain...one month!"

"Okay, let's calculate it as a month first!"

The supervisor in the lobby skillfully took out the abacus and flicked and flicked it for a while.Then he showed the most charming smile and said: "Eighteen special rooms, stay for one month... The total cost is 720 francs... The room fee is settled once a week... Now, please pay a deposit of [-] francs first! "

"No francs. Look at the deduction, let's talk about it when it's not enough!"

The man in black snorted, pushed the square thing wrapped in black cloth on the counter forward, and then said a little arrogantly: "Where is the receptionist? Take us to the room. Also, we will provide you with three meals a day." That's the solution. Remember, don't want bread, ask for rice! Don't ask for Burgundy wine, ask for the strongest vodka!"

The supervisor in the lobby looked at the dark thing, and felt as if a bitter melon had been planted in his heart, which was so bitter that water could be wrung out. He asked deliberately, "Can you pay in cash?".But when he saw the row of sturdy backs of the men in black, he couldn't help but choked on his saliva and swallowed all his words.

"Hurry up and take the guests upstairs... Eat and drink according to the orders of the guests, be smart..."

The lobby supervisor called the young receptionist.After exhorting, it was like treating a married daughter, nagging to the extreme.

There was no other reason, because the supervisor in the lobby took a glimpse and saw a black pistol on the waist of the leading man in black!It's still a German product with the Mauser logo engraved on it!

"This is a bunch of evil stars! Most of the people who want to drink vodka are those savage Slavs in the east! Well, as long as they don't make trouble, I've done my duty!"

When the group of men in black disappeared in the lobby, the lobby manager finally let go of his heart, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought with great gratitude.

And at this time, he focused his attention on the black cloth bag.

"Okay, let me see what this is. As long as it's not too rubbish, it can always make up for a little bit of the room fee..." The lobby supervisor muttered to himself, and opened the black cloth bag casually. As a result, a golden glow came out from inside. The bright light, like a fairy's immobilization spell, made him freeze all of a sudden.

This, this, this is a large pile of... gold bars!

After waiting for a long time, the lobby supervisor's yellow eyes were able to turn. He hurriedly threw himself on the black cloth bag and looked around vigilantly, causing the waiter who was cleaning not far away Shaking his head secretly: It's too bad, the head supervisor was frightened and stupid, and the whole person has become abnormal, it's better not to mess with him today!

The manager of the lobby carefully wrapped the black cloth, and walked towards the back rest room like a thief. He felt the weight from his hand, and estimated that the black cloth bag was probably no less than 15 kilograms. If it was all gold bars... Oh, these evil stars turned out to be the God of Wealth, let me tell you, God frightened me, so it turned out that he wanted to use windfalls to make up for it!

This episode happened at the Venus Hotel, but at a hotel two blocks away, two young people with oriental faces walked out the door happily, looking around with interest as they walked.

The two walked along the river in the city, and if they saw birds landing on the bank along the way, they would pick up stones and hit them, laughing loudly if they hit them, and cursing if they missed them, making the passers-by look contemptuous , Most of them quickened their pace and left quickly.

"Master, didn't we come out to follow Princess Gemma, why did we come here to hunt birds, which made the sky angry..."

The younger of the two young people, while throwing stones, complained in a low voice: "Stay any longer, I'm afraid Basel's patrols will come to drive us away!"

This childish speaker is none other than Breeze.

Breeze is here, so the other one is Long Hao, Earl of Beihai.

Long Hao chuckled, threw a stone, hit the target, and knocked out a poor bird drinking water on the bank: "Who told you to follow Gemma? Breeze. The young master always has a purpose in everything he does. It's just shooting a few birds, and it's not yours, why are you so restless?"

Weifeng wondered: "Don't follow Gemma? Didn't you ask me to monitor her every move, young master?"

"Stupid, surveillance is surveillance, tracking is tracking. These are two different things!"

Long Hao shook his hand again, and a small stone just hit Breeze's crotch, making the number one alchemy disciple's body tremble, and his face turned green extremely ugly.

"Wuuu...Young master, be merciful, are you trying to make the breeze last forever?"

"It's good to be the last child, you are so stupid, you just got eunuched and entered the palace! My young master is already the king of a country, and there is a lack of a confidant eunuch in the harem. Here, this rich job is cheap for you!"

Long Hao snorted and said, "Don't think too much about it. If you follow Gemma now, what kind of clues can you follow? She will definitely find out her brother. We just sit and wait! If you insist on following, it will only be self-defeating!" "

"Oh, then why are you hunting birds here... Hey, don't shoot, don't shoot. The young master is merciful, let Breeze think about it carefully!" Seeing that Long Hao raised his hand again.Breeze hurriedly protected the bottom, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Long Hao raised his hand, but this time the stone didn't hit the breeze or the river bank, but missed it, and hit a pedestrian solidly!

'Ouch' screamed.The unlucky passerby covered his face and responded, blood flowed from his fingers, immediately staining a large area of ​​the street red.

"It's not good, something bad happened!" Weifeng was startled, and hurried over.

"Help...he's dead...seek a doctor quickly!"

Swiss nationals are very warm-hearted.As soon as they saw the bloodshed, they immediately dropped what they were doing, some ran to call the patrol on duty, some called for the doctor, and some volunteered to run over to check the wounded man's condition.

"Don't move, go away, don't make trouble! I'm a doctor, I can cure him!"

Long Hao came over yelling, pushed away the enthusiastic passers-by who were trying to get close to the injured, and yelled, "Hmph, I warn you, if you act recklessly and hurt the injured, That's going to jail!"

Who is making trouble?If it weren't for the stones you hit the birds flying around, could it hurt people?This is good, but you are the villain who sued us first, and you still want to sue us for jail?

The brave and enthusiastic person saw the speaker clearly, and suddenly his nose was twisted: You, an oriental, are the perpetrator, and you still have the nerve to shout now?

"Look, what are you looking at? People miss, horses stumble, isn't it because the wind is stronger and the stones are blown away, do you need to stare at me in such a vicious way?" Long Hao raised his head. , Sweeping disdainfully at the pedestrians around: "Stay back, everyone, don't affect the breathing of the injured, and don't affect my professional performance! I am a doctor, and I am more professional in treating the injured than you. Understand, laymen! "

This is the second time that Long Hao has emphasized that he is a doctor, and the enthusiastic passers-by are almost stunned by his arrogance: the wind is sunny today, where is the wind coming from?Also, we came here to save people with good intentions, so how come we are the laymen who get in your way?

The pedestrians who were pissed off simply stopped, and just surrounded Long Hao away, making up their minds: Hey, as long as you can't cure the person, we will serve as witnesses and let the police arrest you !

Long Hao and Breeze came to the wounded lying on the ground, squatted down, and Breeze laughed softly, "Young Master, you're pretty decent as a rascal!"

Long Hao's eyes widened, and he said, "It's not big or small! What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get some hemostatic medicine to stop his bleeding."

"Huh? Let me treat it?"

Breeze was dumbfounded, and after a long time, the young master hurt someone by playing with flying stones, but you want me, a poor alchemy apprentice, to spend gold to treat him?

Although the hemostatic potion can't consume a quart of energy, but Wei Feng's family is small, and his heart really hurts!

"You didn't come, did I come? Who are you and me, the young master?"

Long Hao squinted over, and said: "This is a good opportunity to exercise your temporary medicine refining ability. If you feel sorry for the energy and retreat, it's okay, you are welcome to leave the gate of the alchemy gate..."

Long Hao's half-truth and half-false words startled Breeze, he had just tasted the magic of alchemy, so he was not willing to give up!I saw him hastily raised his palm, the yellowish halo, hidden under the cover of his sleeve, was faintly visible.

"Uh, you still have time to talk, Lord Earl, why don't you treat me first!"

Just in the breeze resolutely.While struggling to quietly refine the hemostatic potion, the wounded man on the ground let out a humming sound.

From the tone of voice at first glance, it didn't seem like he was seriously injured and bleeding.

"What to cure? I don't know the severity of my hand?"

Long Hao cursed with a chuckle, and slapped the hand away from the injured man's face: "Qiao Jin's subordinates. There are also talents who can act!"

The wounded person on the ground was a typical Western face, covered with blood red, horrible to look at, but a pair of blue and white eyes were extremely agile, and he turned straight: "Hehe, Lord Earl has good eyesight, I was seen through by you." Already!"

At this time, Breeze just produced the hemostatic potion hurriedly. Seeing the situation, he couldn't help being dumbfounded: Uh, dare you... The young master knows the injured man!Jokin.Jokin, the name sounds familiar...

"This blood is flowing, what is it?"

Long Hao asked in a low voice while carrying the wounded.

"Tomato juice, flowing into the mouth and chewing, the taste is superb!"

The low snickering of the wounded man almost let the breeze heard next to him go away, wishing to beat him on the spot so that he can't take care of himself: great.Great girl, my hemostatic potion is in vain.Woo, my precious golden energy...

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the injured person's injury has been under my preliminary control, and now I want to take him back for further treatment, don't block him... that's right. What do you look at, do the Swiss like to watch onlookers so much? What kind of quality is it? ...It's gone, it's all gone, didn't you see the wounded's hand moving? I'm a doctor, how could I murder myself..."

Long Hao yelled loudly.Carrying the wounded in one hand, weighing a stone the size of a baby's fist up and down in the other, the faces of the enthusiastic crowd turned black, cursing in a low voice, lowering their heads and hastily dodging away.

This unqualified oriental doctor is good at hitting stones. I'd better stay away, lest I be disfigured by the stone for nothing.

……

"How big is Basel, and it took so long to find someone? This Gemma, her brother is really here? It can't be that the information was wrong and deceived..."

Another two days passed, and Princess Sherin Mir was kicking and screaming in the hotel room. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Princess Gemma walked in with a tired face.

With a cold face, Sherin Mir crossed his hands and asked, "There should be a result today!"

With a peacemaker's smile on his face, Long Hao stepped forward to support Gemma, who was a little weak, and smoothed things over: "It doesn't matter if there is no result, it's only been less than three days, we still have more time, we still have more..."

Sherin Mir poured cold water on it: "That's not necessarily the case. Since the police came to the door two days ago, our whereabouts are not very safe."

Long Hao's face turned red unexpectedly, and he said, "That was an accident, it won't attract people's attention..."

Sherin Mir refused to let go: "Hmph, go hunting birds when you're bored, Lord Earl, you really have a childlike innocence..."

"I found it, my brother and I got in touch..."

Just as Long Hao and Sherin Mir were arguing boredly because of boredom, Gemma's voice was a little weak but mixed with a bit of bitterness from the chair.

"What, got in touch? Great!"

Long Hao and Xie Linmier stopped talking at the same time, turned their heads at the same time, and said at the same time: "Thank God, the wait was not in vain!"

According to Gemma, her younger brother is now called Green Neal, 13 years old, and lives in a villa on the banks of the Rhine.However, when Long Hao asked where the kid Green Neal was going to school now, Princess Gemma seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

"What, he's a pickpocket?!"

Although Sherin Mir covered his mouth, he still couldn't hide his unbelievable exclamation.

Who would have thought that the illegitimate child fostered by the Andriel family would actually work as a pickpocket in a foreign country, and it was the kind that was controlled by the boss for a commission!

With such a background, the education can be imagined. It is hard to imagine that Gemma's father will instruct Gemma to bet the revival of the Andriel family on such a child!

No wonder Gemma looked so tired and her will was so depressed.

"This Green, I can guess a thing or two without looking... Gemma, are you sure you want to take him away and let him take over the future destiny of your family?" Long Hao asked in a deep voice.

Can a gangster lead a dying family back to life?

This is an excellent inspirational theme in a novel, but in reality, this is absurd, stupid, and unbelievable!

Gemma was silent for a while, then raised her head, with firmness written on her shiny white face: "I'm sure! Because, this is my father's last wish!"

Now that Gemma has become determined after eating the weight, Long Hao and Xie Linmier stopped persuading her.The next focus of work is to discuss how to get Green Neal out of the den of thieves.

"Actually, it wasn't a den of thieves... That villa used to be managed by my younger brother's caretaker, but he died unexpectedly six years ago, which caused Green to make some bad friends, which made it completely unrecognizable."

Gemma said, "I think as long as I reveal my identity, Green will definitely follow me, but I'm afraid that his friends will stop him."

"It's easy, we're here!" Breeze patted his chest and made a promise: "How terrifying can a group of gangsters steal things, come one and I'll hit one, come two and I'll deal with a pair!"

"It's really not possible, we still have guns!" Long Hao smiled, dispelling the last bit of hesitation for Gemma.

The day for the operation was set for the next day. The four of Long Hao hired a non-ostentatious carriage, followed Gemma's instructions, and drove towards the riverside villa that had become a den of gangsters and thieves.

The villa is located in the northern city of Basel. Because it is close to the Rhine River, the villa occupies a large area with excellent greenery. If you look down from the air, it is a beautiful garden-style residence. (To be continued.)
