Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen Line up "Farewell"

The window of Room No. 61 was facing Nollendorffplatz. The next morning, when Grund was combing his hair and looking downstairs, he found many children walking around in the street.There are at least 20 children playing football on the lawn of the opposite square.There were also children hanging out on Crest Avenue. There are also many children standing at the entrance of the subway. "Maybe it's a holiday?" He said to himself angrily while wearing his tie. At this time the professor was holding a staff meeting in the courtyard of the movie theater.At the meeting, he yelled: "We have been racking our brains day and night trying to catch that guy, but you idiots have mobilized the whole of Berlin! Do we need an audience? Or are we going to make a movie? If this guy comes from us If you escape here, then you are responsible, you talkative fellows!"

Although those people stood around him patiently and listened to his scolding, it was obvious that they absolutely couldn't bear this kind of overly violent scolding.After only holding back for a while, Gerold said, "Professor, don't get excited. Anyway, we can catch the thief.";, "You gang of stubborn, get out! When you go out, at least Make it so that it doesn't attract too much attention. And you don't need to take care of the hotel affairs. Do you understand, let's go—go!" The children all backed out.Only the detective remained in the yard. "I borrowed ten marks from the porter," said Emile. "Once the guy gets away, we have enough money to hunt him down."

"Just send those kids out there home," Krum suggested. "Do you really think they're going to go? They won't go if Nollendorffplatz splits in two," said the professor. "There's only one way," Emil said. "We've got to change our plans. Instead of surrounding Grond with detectives, we have to chase him hard. And let him find out we're chasing him. From all directions, let all the children run after them. " "I've thought about that too," said the professor. "We'd better change tactics and surround him so tightly that he has to surrender."

"Excellent!" exclaimed Gerald. "For him, it's better to hand over the money, otherwise, there will be almost a hundred children running around behind his ass, yelling, and finally the whole city will run out, It's ugly that the police took him," said Emil. The others understood what he meant, and all nodded. At this moment, the car bell rang at the gate!Bonnie rode out into the yard, looking radiant.Good morning, detectives,' cried Throw, jumping out of the car, saying hello to Cousin Emil, the Professor, and the others, and removing a small basket strapped to the handlebars. "I've brought you coffee, and some butter buns!" she said sharply. "Hey, I've brought a clean cup. Oh, the cup fell off! That's bad luck." Already!"

Although the children had all eaten breakfast, and Emile had eaten at the Clyde Hotel, none of them wanted to disappoint Bonny.So they drank coffee with milk and bread from the dropped cup, and looked as if they hadn't eaten in four weeks. "It's delicious!" exclaimed Krum. "How crunchy the buns are," the professor muttered while eating. "Really?" Bonnie asked. "Yes, yes, there is a woman in the family, and the situation is different!" "Not at home, but in the yard," Gerold corrected Bonnie. "How is the house in the Rue Schuman?" asked Emil.

"Very good, thank you. Grandma especially asked me to say hello to you. You should go back quickly, or you will be fined to eat fish every day." "Bah, hell," said Emile to himself, making a face. "Why did you say 'Bah, hell'?" asked Xiaomin Teng. "Fish is delicious." Everyone looked at him in amazement, for he was never talkative.His face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly hid behind his brother's back. "Emile couldn't even eat a bite of the fish. He spit it out as soon as he tasted it," Bonnie said. They chatted like this, and they were in a good mood.The boys were especially attentive.The professor pushes Bonnie's bicycle.Krum went to rinse the thermos and cup.Da Miteng folded the bun paper neatly.Emile strapped the basket to the handlebars again.Gerold checked the tires for air.Bonnie was jumping up and down in the yard, singing, and talking about all kinds of things.

"Stop!" she yelled suddenly, standing on one leg. "I'd like to ask something! What are all the kids out there trying to do in Nollendorffplatz? It's like camping for the holidays." "They heard that we were chasing criminals, and they were very curious and wanted to come," the professor said. At this time, Gustav ran in from the gate and honked his horn loudly.Shouting: "Go! He's coming!" Everyone wanted to rush out. "Attention! Listen!" shouted the professor. "We want to surround him. Let there be children behind him, children in front, children on the left, and children on the right! Do you understand? We will issue other orders halfway. Let's go—go!"

They ran, ran, staggered out the gate, leaving Bonnie standing alone, as if insulted.After a while she hopped on her little nickel-plated bicycle too, muttering like her grandma: "I don't like this kind of thing. I don't like this kind of thing!" Then she got on her bicycle and followed the boy. They walked behind. At this time, the man in the top hat had just walked to the door of the hotel, slowly descended the steps, turned around and walked towards the direction of Crest Avenue on the right.The professor, Emile and Gustave quickly spread the urgent order among the groups of children.Three minutes later Grond was surrounded.

He looked about him in great amazement, and saw the children talking, laughing, and fighting, and walking as fast as he.Some people stared at him so hard that he was so embarrassed that his eyes had to look forward. Hiss-!A ball flew past his head.Startled, he quickly quickened his pace. At this time, the children also quickened their pace.He wanted to turn quickly into a side street.But there happened to be a group of children rushing towards him. "Boy, look at his face, he looks like he's always going to sneeze," Gustave said loudly. "Come a little in front of me," said Emil, "don't let him recognize me now.

It's too early for him to recognize it. Like a mighty boxer, Gustav strutted his shoulders and walked in front of Emil. Bonnie happily rang the bell and followed beside the team. The man in the top hat was obviously flustered.He couldn't think what was going to happen to him, so he strode forward.But what's the use of that.After all, he could not escape the siege of his enemies. Suddenly, standing there as if nailed, he turned sharply and ran back to the street from which he had come. So, all the children followed suit and turned back to the present; the head and tail of the team were adjusted one by one, and continued to move forward.

Then a boy—Krum—runs up and blocks the guy's way, making him almost Take a fall. "What are you doing, little rascal?" he cried out. "I'll call the police right away!" "Okay, please call!" Krum said loudly. "We've been waiting. Say, call the police!" On the contrary, Grond did not want to call the police at all.He felt more and more bewildered.He was obviously frightened and didn't know where to run.All the people in the windows saw this scene.The store's saleswomen and their customers also ran to the door to find out what had happened.If a policeman came at this moment, the drama would be over. At this time, he saw a branch of a commercial private bank by the side of the road, so he suddenly took a fancy to it.He broke through the encirclement of the children, ran to the gate of the branch office, and disappeared in a flash. The professor rushed to the door and shouted: "Gustav and I will follow! The Emil will stay here temporarily, waiting for our signal. As soon as Gustav's horn sounds, we can march! The Emil will take Ten people come in. Emile, take advantage of this time and pick out the right people. This will be a very difficult task!" Later, Gustav and the professor also entered the gate. Emile's ears were buzzing with excitement.Now it's time to decide the outcome!He called a few people to him, Krum, Gerold, the Mitten brothers, and a few others, and ordered most of the rest to disperse. However, the children only walked a few steps away from the bank and refused to go further.They will never let go of what is about to happen. Bonnie asked a boy to hold her bicycle and walked up to the Emir herself. "Here I am," she said. "Take courage, it's serious now. Oh my god, I'm so nervous, so nervous." "Do you think I'm not nervous?" Emil asked.
