The day after Prince Dolgorukov was imprisoned, Nikolai Orlov, acting head of the Third Hall, dressed in civilian clothes, set out from the Winter Palace to meet Duke Golitsyn at a location a few kilometers from the Winter Palace.
When Nikolai Orlov knocked on the door of the meeting place, the person who opened the door was someone Nikolai Orlov did not recognize.
"Sorry, I think I got the wrong place!" Nikolai Orlov hurriedly pulled his hat down to cover the upper half of his face and replied, not wanting to be recognized.
"No, you haven't!" The person who opened the door smiled and emphasized to Nikolai Orlov, "Viscount Orlov, you're at the right place! Please come in!"
Saying this, he immediately made way for Nikolai Orlov.
Through the passage he made, you could just see Duke Golitsyn inside the room.
At this moment, Duke Golitsyn also noticed Nikolai Orlov and nodded to him.
