"Please repeat your itinerary again."
Captain Adam said again in the interrogation room of the police station.
"After I left Paris, France, I first went to..."
Once again, George repeated his experience of how he left France and fled to the UK.
In fact, this was not his experience, but the experience of his college classmate. Unlike a group of classmates, the rich second-generation classmate born in Rome became a traveler after graduation and traveled around the world. Not to mention Europe, he even traveled through Africa... He traveled almost all over the world.
Because he envied his classmate's experience, George would occasionally pay attention to his circle of friends. When the boy traveled through Africa, he entered Spain through North Africa and then went to France. Reversing this route became his escape route.
As for the language barrier, George was even less worried. When he was in college, in order to be able to enter a large company after graduation, in addition to English, he also specially learned French and German. Among them, English and French were the most powerful, and there was no problem with communication and report writing.
As for the details, thanks to the fact that the boy often posted some food, squares, churches and other things on WeChat Moments, I saw a lot and remembered them. After all, many small towns in Europe have remained unchanged for hundreds of years, which also gave him a lot of room to play. Even if some places cannot be justified, George doesn't know, and the mustache may not be able to understand the details of each place.
Finally, after George repeated his experience again, Captain Adam left the interrogation room without finding any suspicious points. After thinking about it, he began to murmur.
"Maybe, he really escaped from France."
Then he ordered.
"Notify the embassy to come and confirm his identity."
...
No. 49 Portland Square.
Li Guoren, who was pushing his bicycle, was still murmuring until he walked to the embassy.
"It's really strange that someone could escape from France."
However, in this day and age, all kinds of strange things happen.
As a third-class secretary, he didn't think so much. The ambassador was in the United States, and the counselor sent him to take a look, so he went.
It was just a routine matter.
After rushing to the police station, Li Guoren soon met the person in charge after he stated his purpose. Just like when he was dealing with the British, he was just polite.
"Sorry to trouble you."
After being polite, he said.
"But sir, I can't prove anything for you. At most, I can just talk to him."
"Because he doesn't have any identity documents, we are not sure of his identity. That's why you need to talk to him to confirm his identity."
"Okay, okay..."
Confirm his identity?
Who can confirm his identity?
If it is wrong, who will take the responsibility?
This guy, why don't you stay in France and make trouble for yourself?
As soon as they met, Li Guoren said directly.
"Come on, why don't you stay in France? Why are you running around in the chaos?"
As he spoke, he put his bag on the table, his tone seemed a little impatient.
The familiar language was slightly accented by Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The local accent sounded friendly, but the words were very harsh. Looking at this guy wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a 3:7 hairstyle, George said lightly.
"Sir, are you from the embassy? Excuse me, is Ambassador Gu in the embassy?"
"Ambassador Gu?"
Li Guoren's face changed slightly, and he looked at him seriously. Not only did the impatience on his face disappear, but he even smiled.
"Do you know Ambassador Gu?"
Ambassador Gu is Gu Weijun who signed the Paris Peace Conference.
George certainly didn't know him, but he had read a report about his wife Huang Huilan, and knew that she had served as ambassador to France before the war, and transferred to Britain after France surrendered. Of course, the report described not only Huang Huilan's luxurious life, but also her experience of accompanying her husband to Europe. From France to Britain, from Britain to the United States, if I remember correctly, they should be in the United States now with the first lady visiting the United States.
"I met Ms. Huang at a banquet at the Paris Embassy."
George mentioned it again.
"Our family has had some business dealings with the Huang family."
Why mention the Huang family?
Because the Huang family is rich and powerful, Mrs. Huang's father is the famous "Sugar King" in Nanyang, his family is also the richest man in the Dutch East Indies, and the surname Li is a big surname. It is normal to have business dealings with the surname Li.
That's why George dared to say that he had a relationship with the Huang family. And because of the Japanese occupation of Nanyang, the two sides can't contact each other now. Even if Mrs. Huang came in person, he didn't worry about being exposed.
And more importantly, only by pulling the banner of the Huang family, the people in the embassy would intervene to save him, and even give him a legal identity.
Otherwise, with his impatient look before, how could he help him?
"Oh, that's why! I'm sorry!"
Li Guoren's attitude became more and more enthusiastic. After all, anyone who could do business with the Huang family must be a wealthy family in Southeast Asia. No wonder he could escape from France.
This guy is rich!
Almost subconsciously, Li Guoren's tone became very respectful. After all, this was an old friend of his boss's wife.
More importantly, he is rich!
He is rich and powerful!
If you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance to make friends with such a person!
"Mr. Li, you don't know that Ambassador Gu and his wife are currently in the United States accompanying Mrs. Song on a visit to the United States. They are not in the embassy."
"Ah, what can I do?"
George frowned and said helplessly.
"Now the British suspect that I am a spy. Without Mrs. Huang's testimony, how can I prove my innocence..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Guoren said directly.
"You are too much of a bully, and you accuse me of being a German spy. It's a pity that you can think of that. Please rest assured, Mr. Li. Don't say that you and I are brothers. We are ordinary compatriots. I have my duty and will not allow you to frame me. I will definitely negotiate with the British!"
After that, Li Guoren stood up and knocked on the iron door, and then shouted loudly in English.
"Open the door, open the door,"
As soon as the door opened, Li Guoren, who was no longer as timid as before, asked loudly without waiting for Captain Adam to speak.
"Captain Adam, what do you mean?"
"What?"
"What right do you have to detain our allies? Our compatriots suffered all kinds of bullying under German rule. They finally escaped to Britain, but were accused of being spies and detained by you. How absurd it is. I will protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Downing Street. Is this the way your country treats its allies?"
Captain Adam, who was put on the head by Li Guoren, asked hurriedly.
"Secretary Xu, didn't you just say you couldn't prove anything?"
"Prove?"
Li Guoren said righteously.
"Mr. Li's family is a prominent overseas Chinese family in Southeast Asia, and they are old friends with the ambassador's wife's family. How can I not prove it!"
Captain Adam understood in an instant that this guy had a background after all this time.
Okay, let's go.
