Only Shuvalov knew that the testimony of the arrogant young man was actually the most reliable. Petrovna did have blond hair, wore a beige dress, and even her age was correct. She was indeed
Already almost thirty years old.
So why are the testimonies of other witnesses so different?
The reason is very simple. Not everyone has a deep memory for short-term sudden events. Some scholars in later generations have done experiments and found that many people's memories of such sudden events are unreliable. When they see things that don't exist, they even
People are all normal, but their ability to brainstorm is so powerful!
To put it simply, many eyewitnesses may not be reliable, and the testimonies they give may not be reliable. But they are not lying sincerely, but their brains have made certain "repairs" when restoring the scenes they have seen.
.
For example, the driver who drove the car thought that Petrovna's hair was brown. It was probably because the sprayed blood poured on Petrovna's head and solidified and turned black, which led to his misunderstanding.
As for the beige long skirt and the red long skirt, it is even simpler. The beige color will naturally turn red after being dyed red by blood. The children did not realize that it was blood, but the angry young man knew that it was blood.
, the color of the clothes he reported back was the true color after excluding blood interference.
As for age, children are always not very accurate in judging people's age. Petrovna is beautiful and well-maintained, so naturally they thought she was their sister. The arrogant young man is not so naive, so he can basically be sure of Petrovna.
's true age.
But these are not important now. Thanks to Shuvalov, Simonov had a bad impression of these witnesses and did not believe their testimony, so the police in Kiev who were responsible for finding people suffered a lot.
"Looking for a woman, what does she look like? Well, it could be blond, it could be brown, it could be any other color of hair, but it's a woman... What? Age? Maybe twenty or thirty.
, why are you asking so many questions, after all, it’s a woman!”
Looking for someone with such conditions, there are too many women in Kiev within this range, but Simonlov still emphasized: "This woman should be very beautiful. Go around and ask around to see if there is any beautiful one."
The woman who ran away from nearby should be the person we are looking for!"
The policeman responsible for finding the person almost vomited blood after hearing this. There are too many beautiful women in Russia. With such a question, who knows how many unreliable answers will come out. How can they find it?
However, he did not dare to question Simonov's decision. After all, Russia is a country ruled by individuals. Officials at the highest level suppress people to death, and disobeying their superiors is no different from self-destruction. And to him, this is just business after all, business.
Well, just pretend to let the superiors think that you have tried your best. As for whether you can find the person in the end, what does that have to do with him?
This is the true mentality of the grassroots officials in Russia. Anyway, no matter how hard they work and how beautifully they work, most of the credit will belong to those gentlemen in the end, so why bother working so hard?
Shuvalov stayed at the scene for a while. After seeing that Simonov found no clues at all, he left happily. He knew that this idiot could not pose a threat to him. The most important thing now was to catch Petrovna.
and Fionen and Bruning.
Shuvalov asked angrily: "Has that woman been caught?"
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, we searched Petrovna's residence. There was nothing inside except a few maids and servants. The woman has never gone back."
This answer was not surprising to Shuvalov at all. As long as Petrovna was not an idiot, she would not have returned home foolishly. He asked unhappily: "You didn't interrogate those maids and servants to see if they were
Not that I know where Petrovna is going."
The housekeeper quickly replied: "I have questioned her carefully. According to their explanation, Petrovna's behavior has been very strange in recent times. She sent away some of her confidants, including gold and silver jewelry and land deeds. I don't know where she took them. According to them,
What they said was that these were arranged by her personal maid, and I have already arranged for people to catch that maid."
When Shuvalov heard this, he even snorted coldly. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Well, you Petrovna, it turns out that you have been preparing behind my back for a long time. It seems that you have prepared a retreat.
I’ve been holding myself back for a long time and ran away!”
After cursing a few words, he said bitterly: "We must not let her go. I will make her wanted across the country. You will also find clues as soon as possible, and you must eradicate her as quickly as possible!"
After a pause, Shuvalov explained: "But she is not the most important thing. The most important thing is Fioning and Bruning. They are the top priority. Have your people found any clues?"
The housekeeper immediately lowered his head and replied hesitantly: "I am doing my best to trace them, and I will use all my hands. I believe I will be able to find their whereabouts!"
Hearing this, Shuvalov frowned. Not only was he dissatisfied with the lack of clues, but more importantly, he also felt that the butler's arrangements were inappropriate. He suddenly shouted angrily:
"How can you go looking for them with such a big fanfare at this time? Do you think that the police and gendarmerie in Kiev are idiots? Once the people in Bestuzhev and Liu Ming find out that we are also looking for them, they will definitely realize that there is a problem, then
Then we’ll be in big trouble!”
The housekeeper was immediately in a dilemma. He had to look for clues and find people, but he couldn't make a big splash. Isn't this contradictory? He is not a god.
However, Shuvalov did not notice that something was wrong with his mood, but instead ordered: "Send away all the people involved in this matter, and let them go to Bloire for temporary refuge... No, send them far away.
, send them back to Moscow. We can’t rule out that someone at the scene will recognize them. Once they are discovered by Bestuzhev’s people, it will be terrible!”
The butler nodded and hurriedly carried out the order, but Shuvalov called him back halfway: "Also, recruit another group of people immediately. We want to find people who are short of manpower, but it's not possible. We need to be more reliable, don't
A bunch of young men came over and caused bad things!"
After making the following explanation, Shuvalov sat down and took a breath. He was very tired this day. Now he needs to take a good rest and think about who robbed Fionin and Bru.
Ning, seeing that these people are ruthless and decisive in their style, and they don't seem to be a spur-of-the-moment move, could it be that his plan has been noticed? How is this possible?
