Chapter 361 The Secret in the Badge

On the way, the train they were riding stopped in the wilderness. Soldiers got on the train to check documents.

Zero had no nationality, and because the war was imminent, he had to reapply for a new special transit permit, but this document was not easy to obtain during this period.

The soldiers wanted to capture Zero.

Fortunately, the captain and Gustav were old acquaintances, and he signed a special travel permit for Zero.

After the soldiers left, Gustav sighed to Zero: "See? In the barbaric slaughterhouse, there are still some glimmers of civilization. This is human nature. And we humbly serve in our own way... Forget it."

The two got off the train and took a taxi to Luz Castle.

The maid took the two into the castle.

In the luxurious castle, the gate and carpet were printed with patterns of eagles eating birds.

A wall was also decorated with a badge similar to the cover.

Fang Rong immediately took out his mobile phone, "Can I take a picture? Save it for analysis later."

"Whatever you want." Chazelle yawned.

He wanted to see if the second-largest director of Chen Xiao's company could really see the connotation at once.

Fang Rong grinned and took a photo with his mobile phone.

Gustav met the deceased Mrs. D and chatted with her elegantly, just as she did when she was alive.

The maid told them that the housekeeper had something to ask Gustav. The housekeeper led the two to a room full of people.

The floor was covered with bear skins with heads attached, the wall was nailed with deer heads, and on the wall opposite the door was a portrait of a wild boar.

The room was full of people, and relatives who could not be farther away also arrived at the scene, trying to get a share of Mrs. D's inheritance.

The person who presided over this gathering was the agent Kovalz who went to the hotel to collect bills every month. He was also a lawyer and was responsible for handling Mrs. D's property before her death according to the doctor's orders.

The lawyer announced that according to an additional clause added this morning, Mrs. D gave the priceless art film "Apple Boy" to Gustav.

Mrs. D's son was very angry and had an argument with him.

After a few verbal attacks and a brief fight, Gustav took Zero to the room where the painting was kept in the castle, and took the painting away without the knowledge of Mrs. D's son, Little D. (Too many names appeared in a short period of time, so for the convenience of remembering the relationship between the characters, let's call him Little D.)

The butler packed the painting for him and put a letter behind the painting.

Gustav and Zero returned to the Grand Budapest Hotel with the painting.

On the way back, Gustav said that he was worried that the painting would be taken back, and that the war would cause the hotel to fall into trouble. He wanted the two of them to sell the painting and give 1.5% to the doorman, and then go out of town and come back after the storm has passed.

"But if I die first, you are my only heir. My inheritance is not much, just those ivory combs, my collection of romantic poems, and the money left after we went out to spend money."

...

Fang Rong lowered his voice and said, "I'll go, he won't kill Gustave, will he?"

Huang Peng nodded, "Zero first proposed 10% and was rejected, maybe he will really do it?"

Chazelle in front of him rolled his eyes silently.

What a guess, the opposite of the main theme.

On the screen, the story continues.

The two returned to the hotel and just put the painting in the safe.

The police came and arrested Gustave for the murder of Mrs. D.

The story comes to Chapter 3, the detention center of Checkpoint No. 19.

All members of Mrs. D's family accused him of sneaking into the castle and killing Mrs. D, and the key witness, the butler, has fled the city.

Gustave has an alibi, but the duchess has fled the war and gone to another country.

The key now is the witness butler.

Little D asked the hawk to find and kill him quickly.

In prison, Gustav made friends with his hotel work experience with foresight and elegance. So, the jailbreak boss decided to take him with him.

The inmates had prepared fake documents, second-hand clothes, rope ladders, and only the digging tools were missing.

When Zero recalled this, a lover who made him burst into tears had to appear - the girl in the cake shop, Agatha, who had already agreed to his proposal at that time.

Agatha helped them make a beautiful cake with digging tools hidden inside.

The prison guard used a dagger to check each pastry sent to the prison, cut the bread into pieces, and poked the cheese a few times.

But when it came to the cake...

He hesitated for a moment and chose to let it go. Even though this was a time of war.

At the same time, the lawyer.

The lawyer found Little D and said that he found a document missing. He didn't know what the document was, but various clues showed that there was another document. Considering the special cause of Mrs. D's death and the missing witness, he suggested that the matter be handed over to the police directly to avoid future disputes.

Little D refused and tried to bribe the lawyer.

The lawyer also refused and insisted on standing on the legal side. So, Little D's hawk killed the lawyer's cat on the spot. The two parties broke up.

The lawyer took the cat's body to the art museum, but found that he was followed by the hawk.

He hurriedly threw the cat away and entered the museum himself.

"Wait a minute! Damn it, I understand!" Fang Rong suddenly shouted.

Chazelle turned around and glared at him, "Director Fang, what are you doing?"

Fang Rong said excitedly: "The white bird is talking about the lawyer representing the deceased! Look, I just took a few photos."

"In the first picture, when Gustav went to visit the deceased Mrs. D, there was a huge wall of emblems in his house. The black hawk wanted to eat the white bird."

"The picture in the upper right corner of White Bird...the picture taken here is not clear. Let's look at the cover of Chapter 2. It is exactly the same as the floor here. There must be something going on here!"

"The black bird wants to eat the white bird, which means Little D wants to kill the lawyer, right?"

Speaking of this, Fang Rong frowned and murmured: "No, or is there a deeper meaning? The lawyer represents the deceased. So maybe the white bird represents more than just the lawyer..."

Chen Xiao patted him on the shoulder, "Stop talking about spoilers."

Huang Peng echoed: "Stop talking, I'm scared. That picture is so scary after looking at it for a long time."

Chazelle, who was sitting on the ground, chuckled and said, "If you are timid, turn around. Don't look at the next scene."

"ah?"

Chen Xiao pressed the play button.

Driven by curiosity, Huang Peng never looked back.

I muttered in my heart, as long as I don’t understand the metaphor, you can’t hurt me——

"Fuck!"

Huang Peng hugged Xiao Kui tightly and was slapped by Xiao Kui.

On the screen, the eagle dog took off his shoes and followed quietly.

Just as the lawyer was about to leave the art gallery through the small door, a big hand stretched out from behind him.

The lawyer's fingers were clipped, the lawyer was killed, and died in the museum where he wanted to keep the cat.

One of Gustav's foreign aid routes was cut off.

Huang Peng patted his chest with lingering fear, "Fuck, you scared me to death."

Fang Rong joked: "If I ask you to turn your head, you won't."
