The information found was so pitiful that if Rafael hadn't checked it out personally, Petrovna would probably have thought it was being perfunctory.
She knew that Ravel would never treat her badly, so the fact was that the information about Merkulova was so pitiful.
Petrovna smiled awkwardly at Viscount Prozolov and said: "At that time, I told Ravel that your third film was nothing more than that. You couldn't even find out information about a woman, so what else could you find out..."
After sighing, Petrovna added: "At that time, Rafael told me that it was not that they were incompetent, but that Merkulova's background was difficult to check. It seemed that someone was helping her cover up. He alone could
It is impossible for a small military policeman to reveal the truth. He also said that if you want to find out Merkulova, you must be at least as high as the head of the third Kiev department, otherwise it is best not to waste time."
Viscount Prozolov asked: "So you gave up then?"
Petrovna shook her head and said: "No, I am still unwilling. I also wanted to use my connections to really find the head of the third department to check Merkulova. But Rafael stopped me."
Petrovna did not say why Ravel stopped her, but Viscount Prozolov knew what Ravel said. The reason is very simple. It is not easy to find out even the third part of a man who can help cover up the past.
How can a woman be simple?
Once this secret was known to Petrovna, there was only one outcome: Petrovna was silenced because she knew something she shouldn't have known.
Petrovna nodded slightly and said: "Ravl told you almost the same thing at the beginning. He said that since someone took great pains to help Merkulova cover it up, it means that he does not want anyone to discover the secret. If he does not want to be silenced, it is best to
It’s easy to pretend you know everything.”
Petrovna sighed and continued: "At that time, I had not yet curried favor with Count Shuvalov. Given my status at that time, if I had acted rashly, I would have died without a burial place."
"So from that time on, I kept away from Merkulova and stayed far away from her. After all, she was taken care of by powerful bosses behind the scenes, and she was also ingratiated with Governor Peter Barak.
It’s definitely not something I can offend.”
Viscount Prozolov looked at Petrovna thoughtfully, because he knew that this woman was not completely telling the truth. A smart person like her must know the value of the secret of Merkulova's true identity, right
The approach is not to take the initiative to reveal the secret but to master it. Maybe this secret will come in handy.
So Viscount Prozolov didn't say anything, he just looked at Petrovna silently, as if waiting for the next words, and Petrovna obviously knew what it meant. After sighing slightly, she faintly
said:
"But I kept an eye out at that time. Although I didn't care about Merkulova for the time being, I kept observing her, especially after I fawned over Count Shuvalov. As my status rose, Kiev's third film naturally
It gave me more and more face, and then I discovered some interesting situations."
Viscount Prozolov immediately asked: "What's the interesting situation?"
Petrovna smiled gracefully and said: "First of all, I found that the relationship between Merkulova and Peter Balek is very special! I'm afraid they are not the kind of relationship you think in the general sense!"
Viscount Prozolov frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts: It's not the kind of relationship he thought, what kind of relationship is it?
Petrovna did not show off and answered directly: "I found that although Peter Balak was very close to her and took her with him in many salons, dances and even theaters, he never had any special intimacy with her. Even many times.
At that time, the salon, the ball and the play were over, and the two of them went back to their respective homes, but they did not actually live together."
This answer stunned Viscount Prozolov, because he was very aware of the habits of Russian LSPs. If Merkulova was really Peter Barak's mistress, it would be impossible for them to go back to their own homes, unless they showed it to outsiders.
Relationship is just a cover.
Viscount Prozolov's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't wait to ask: "What does Peter Balek want to hide with the help of Merkulova?"
Petrovna was very satisfied with Viscount Prozolov's reaction. If he didn't even have the ability to respond, Petrovna would have to carefully consider her choice. Obviously Viscount Prozolov responded very quickly.
, it will be revealed in just one point.
Petrovna nodded and continued: "I was surprised at the time, so I observed their relationship more and more carefully, and then I felt more and more that Peter Balak was inexplicable... You know, many people borrowed money from their mistresses.
Guys who are covering up actually want to hide their preference for the same sex... I originally thought that Peter Barack was in the same situation, but then I found out that when he was interacting with other mistresses, he returned to his normal state. What should I do?
No matter what he does, he looks like an expert in flowers."
Viscount Prozolov took a deep breath and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "You mean that Peter Balek is only weird or peculiar when he gets along with Merkulova, right?"
Petrovna hummed: "Yes. He is just weird about Merkulova. He obviously doesn't need Merkulova to spend the night with her, or to kiss her, but he just wants to
From time to time, he would make such a pretense in front of outsiders, as if he was telling others that Merkulova was his woman."
"Then, he is not just doting on Merkulova. He is basically responsive to her requests. As long as Merkulova wants, he will give it to her. Even anyone who dares to disrespect Merkulova
, he, the governor, would immediately come out to warn or even beat her up. Even if Merkulova had an affair with other men behind his back, he was not angry. To be honest, I have never seen such a good lover. If she had, I would
I want one!"
Not to mention Petrovna, even Viscount Prozolov was stunned. He also felt that the relationship between Merkulova and Peter Balak was becoming more and more mysterious and unusual. Anyway, it was impossible for him to be like this
There is no way that pampering Merkulova is a good idea.
Anyway, Viscount Prozolov couldn't figure out the reason why Peter Barak did this, and even thought that the guy was suffering from mental illness.
Petrovna also smiled bitterly at this. She nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Yes, I thought so too at the time. I have no idea what Peter Balak is trying to do. Straightforward..."
