Chapter 372 Hunting
Antoine? Brother Vinete? !
Qin Chuan was stunned, and then he understood the housekeeper's panic and Benoit's cover-up.
Amid screams, Qin Chuan and Vinete ran upstairs.
Fortunately, Antoine was not in danger of death, because Qin Chuan saw him holding the wound on his leg with one hand and pointing the gun at Qin Chuan with the other hand...
"No, Antoine, put down the gun!" Vinete stood in front of Qin Chuan.
"Don't do this, Antoine!" Benoit also ran up: "You should know that you are not his opponent, he will kill you! And if you do this, we will all die!"
Antoine, with sweat all over his face, panted heavily, stared at Qin Chuan for a long time, and then weakly put down the pistol.
Vinete immediately took Antoine's gun into her hands.
"Beep..." A whistle sounded outside the door.
"God, it's the Germans!" Mrs. Benoit looked out the window and said nervously: "They must have heard the gunshots and rushed over!"
"Captain!" Benoit said to Qin Chuan: "I hope you can understand the feelings of a father. Antoine didn't mean it. Please believe that this is not a trap, but a coincidence..."
Qin Chuan was stunned for a while, then nodded and said: "Carry him into the room!"
Qin Chuan believed that this was a coincidence, because no one knew that he and Vignette would come back, but Antoine thought that Qin Chuan was here to arrest him, so this "misunderstanding" that was not a misunderstanding occurred.
Benoit did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly called a few servants to carry the injured Antoine into the room and close the door.
"Open the door, open the door!" There was a heavy knock on the door outside.
The housekeeper standing at the door looked at Qin Chuan who was walking down the stairs, at a loss.
Qin Chuan nodded and signaled the housekeeper to open the door, but before the housekeeper could react, the door was knocked open with a bang. A sergeant holding a submachine gun and several subordinates holding rifles rushed in. When they saw Qin Chuan, the murderous intent in their eyes immediately turned into surprise.
"What happened, Captain?" asked the sergeant.
"Nothing happened!" Qin Chuan replied: "Just teaching a few disobedient people a lesson!"
It is not easy to fool a sergeant... Most German troops in North Africa have combat experience.
"But I heard two kinds of gunshots, sir!" The sergeant said: "Are you sure you are not in danger?"
As he said that, the sergeant glanced at the people in the room vigilantly, still holding the gun in his hand.
At that moment, at least several possibilities flashed through the sergeant's mind: the captain was threatened by hostages; the captain was pretending to be a spy; there were other dangerous elements ambushing in the room...
The quality and vigilance of the German army are beyond words, which made Qin Chuan a little embarrassed.
"Are you doubting me, Sergeant?"
"No, sir!" The Sergeant still refused to relax: "But I am sure that I heard two gunshots!"
The Sergeant was right. Every gun makes a different sound. Different models and calibers will make different sounds. Even the same model of gun will make different gunshots due to different degrees of rifling wear.
Of course, only veterans who have experienced the battlefield can hear it.
"Vinette!" Qin Chuan shouted upstairs.
Vinette opened the door and walked out charmingly, holding a gun in her hand, and then casually leaned on the railing and looked down at the group of nervous German soldiers below, and asked with a smile: "Are you talking about this gun, Sergeant?"
The Sergeant looked at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows and said: "You heard it right, Sergeant. There are indeed two gunshots, and the one in her hand is the second gun you are looking for!"
"Can I see your officer's ID, Captain!" The Sergeant still remained skeptical, probably because there were very few female soldiers in the German army.
Qin Chuan took out his officer's ID card from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "I appreciate your caution, sergeant, but you'd better not get involved in this matter!"
"I'll judge this, sir!" The sergeant said as he opened his officer's ID card.
Soon, the expression on his face froze on his face: "Are you Captain Frick of the First Infantry Regiment?"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.
Qin Chuan's response made all the German soldiers look at Qin Chuan in surprise.
"But... you should be at the Gabes Line, right?"
"We just got off the train!" Qin Chuan replied, "Look at our uniforms..."
Qin Chuan spread his hands, and his uniforms were covered with dirt and blood.
"Or you can call to verify!" Qin Chuan said.
"No, of course not!" The sergeant replied, "If someone disguises himself as a 'legendary sergeant', he must be the dumbest spy!"
The sergeant was right. Spies usually disguise themselves as an unknown person because that can avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Sorry, Captain!" The sergeant put down his gun, handed the officer's certificate back to Qin Chuan with both hands, saluted Qin Chuan, and said, "It's nice to see you here, I wish you... happy hunting!"
Then the sergeant led his men out of the villa, and several soldiers saluted Qin Chuan before leaving.
Qin Chuan stood there in a daze, he didn't understand what the sergeant meant by "hunting".
It took him a long time to understand...Some soldiers who came back from the battlefield would break into the people's homes and act arrogantly. If the people didn't obey, the soldiers would use guns to teach these disobedient people a lesson.
Obviously, the sergeant thought Qin Chuan was that kind of person.
But it's okay, at least the crisis has been resolved.
Next... Qin Chuan looked at the room upstairs and didn't know how to deal with it.
Qin Chuan knew that Antoine had joined the guerrillas, so now he and he should be enemies, and Vinete was...
Anyway, Qin Chuan still went upstairs.
"We meet again, Antoine!" Qin Chuan said.
"Yes, Captain!" Antoine's voice trembled a little because of nervousness and fear, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "I'm sorry I couldn't kill you!"
"God, Antoine!" Mrs. Benoit was pale with fear: "Don't say stupid things anymore, the captain just saved all our lives!"
Benoit said to Qin Chuan nervously: "Sorry, Lieutenant, don't take this to heart!"
"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.
To be honest, Qin Chuan still admired Antoine a little. Although he was afraid, scared, and even weak, he always insisted on his beliefs.
From this point of view, Vinete's character is somewhat similar to her brother, except that Vinete will compromise for her family while Antoine does not.
"But I would rather die in your hands, Vinete!" Antoine turned to Vinete angrily and said sarcastically: "Should I welcome you as a hero? Tell me how many 'enemies' you killed on the battlefield!"
"Shut your mouth!" Vinete, who was bandaging, exerted force on her hand, and Antoine could not help but scream.
