Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At night, the butler asked Liang Xi to have dinner at the restaurant.  In addition to the people from the law firm, there were other nobles and even representatives of the royal family who dined together.  The nobles and the royal family will come to the manor to attend the funeral tomorrow morning, and the second generation of nobles and the second generation of emperors are here today.  They first went to the manor to express their condolences to their relatives.

    Liang Xi didn't like this kind of courtesy the most. It only took five minutes to eat a steak, and fifty minutes for the courtesy.  Even if no one pays attention to him, he still has to listen to the courtesy for five minutes.  Dining with these distinguished children, you will leave if you feel embarrassed.  Liang Xi was embarrassed, but he didn't want to be embarrassed.  So Liang Xi sat alone on a chair in the back garden, enjoying a piece of food and a glass of lemonade brought by the maid alone in the night breeze.

    This is not the first time Liang Xi has helped John handle a case.  Over the past few years, John has become more and more lazy, giving Liang Xi all the work that can be handed over to Liang Xi.  Every day John just stays at home and reads the newspaper.  Even apart from meeting up with old friends, John and Mary only take walks near their home.  Forget about these things, John handed over to Liang Xi all unprofitable jobs, jobs that didn't discuss remuneration.

    Of course Liang Xi knew that John was reminding him of himself, to get to know more people, and to know more people from the upper class, but Liang Xi was not interested in meeting people from the upper class.  He felt that it was impossible to be friends if the class levels were different.  What?  High-class people can support you and give you a chance?  If I want to sell my face, I might as well change my career to become the Robin Hood of the Robin Hood, stealing things to help the poor.  Who is the poorest?  Of course he is the poorest.  Money doesn't matter, the key is that as a Robin Hood, you must abide by principles. Who let you only know yourself as a poor ghost?

    A melodious violin sound came from the side, and Liang Xi couldn't help walking towards the music place following the sound.  The soft moonlight and the wonderful melody are perfectly integrated together, making people stop and don't want to leave.  The performer closed his eyes lightly, and did not notice that someone was approaching, completely immersed in his own world, fascinated.

    No, the performer is not a beautiful girl in a white evening dress, let alone a princess.  It was the gardener, the male gardener, a fat uncle in his forties in overalls.  The melody is soft and the picture is inconsistent.  Apart from Liang Xi, the only audience was the gardener's wife.

    After the song was over, Liang Xi applauded. Liang Xi didn't know how nice it was, he was tone deaf.  But he can reason, those who dare to play the violin in the noble land must have a few brushes, applaud first and then talk.

    The gardener was very embarrassed, shook hands with Liang Xi modestly, and apologized for disturbing Liang Xi.  The gardener's wife brought tea, and they chatted about it.  After chatting for half an hour, Liang Xi basically solved the case. He knew who stole the will and guessed the accomplice.  But he had no evidence in his hand, and he could not determine the identity of the accomplices, let alone whether the new will had been destroyed

    The Earl's Manor has two guest rooms and several sets of separate guest room Yaju villas, which are specially used for receiving guests.  Such as the royal family or the children of the powerful, the housekeeper arranged them to live in the Yaju villa.  The children of nobles are sent to Building A, where the guest rooms, facilities and services are no worse than those of star-rated hotels.  In order to cope with this funeral, the butler specially hired chefs and professional service personnel from the Grand Hotel temporarily.

    The staff of the law firm live in Building B. The conditions are relatively simple, but they exceed the standard rooms of ordinary hotels, and there are also professional hotel room service personnel who provide services for them.

    All of this is called face, and no money can't support such a face.  Therefore, the gap between nobles and nobles will slowly be reflected.  Having lost their wealth, nobles with empty titles will take the route of civilianization, appearing to be close to the people, and at the same time use the excuse of being close to the people to cover up their lack of wealth.  On the contrary, the nobles who have mastered the wealth strive to maintain everything that a noble should have, so as to build an insurmountable identity gap between themselves and the rich merchants.

    Building C is far from Building AB. It is the place where the staff of the manor live, and the conditions are not bad.  Such as housekeepers and maids serving the main residence, they have their own housing in the main residence to respond to the earl's greetings at any time.  The maid lives on the first floor, and the butler lives in the side room on the second floor. The room is not very big, but it is very stylish, and it also has no aesthetic feeling.  Why do you say stylish?  This is a real aristocratic manor, it must have a style, although Liang Xi doesn't know what the style is.

    Today guests started to come to the door, and there are a lot of things to do, so the housekeeper is very busy.  Liang Xi quietly drank tea on the first floor and waited until the housekeeper returned to the main residence at one o'clock in the morning. Liang Xi greeted him: "Is it convenient to talk?"

    The butler maintained his standing posture and replied, "Of course."

    The housekeeper asked Liang Xi to sit down, and Liang Xi said: "It's midnight, disturbing others' rest. Why don't you go to your room and have a chat? If it's convenient."

    The butler kept smiling and said, "I have worked in the manor for thirty years, and this is the first time I heard that someone wanted to come to my room to chat with me, and it was at one o'clock in the morning."

    Liang Xi said ashamedly: "Born in the market,?Be polite.  "

    The housekeeper hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't mean that."

    Liang Xidao: "Even if I'm not polite, I still insist on going to your room for a chat. Is that okay?"

    The butler looked at Liang Xi for a few seconds and nodded: "Of course, please."

    The housekeeper hung his coat on the coat rack, and Liang Xi had already entered the room.  It was really rude.  Not only that, but Liang Xi looked at the whole living room very rudely, and even tilted his head to look at the bedroom twice.

    The housekeeper didn't take it seriously, closed the door, and asked, "Isn't Mr. Liang a lawyer at Cook Law Firm?"

    Liang Xi nodded: "No!"

    The butler asked: "Detective?"

    Liang Xi thought for a while, and replied: "It's not considered a detective. Detective work is paid. I'm just a person who is in charge of running errands."

    The housekeeper rarely came into contact with such slang, and it took a while to understand the meaning, and he couldn't help laughing: "Please sit down."

    Liang Xi sat down, and the housekeeper also sat down: "May I ask what Mr. Liang can do for me?"

    Liang Xi asked: "Is there a process?"

    The housekeeper said: "I need to get up early tomorrow."

    Liang Xi nodded: "Then I will directly ask the question: Please hand over your will."

    The butler asked back: "A will?"

    Liang Xi said: "You said you have to get up early tomorrow, and now I have to start explaining again."

    The butler looked at Liang Xi and said, "The first time I saw you, I knew you were a detective. But I don't understand what a will means."

    Liang Xi said: "No way?"

    Steward: "I really don't understand what a will is."

    Liang Xi said: "No, I mean, am I like a detective?"

    The butler replied: "From the point of view of your attention to people and objects, judging from my years of experience in seeing people: either a detective or a thief."

    Liang Xi thought for a while: "What did we talk about just now?" These eyes are too poisonous.

    The butler smiled and said, "The will."

    "Yes, the will." Liang Xi said: "I analyzed everyone's situation, and I don't think the four children of the earl have stolen the will."

    The butler asked: "And then?"

    Liang Xi clapped his right finger in the heart of his left hand: "You don't even care about the theft of the will." I caught you and found the right person.

    The housekeeper didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "Since you have approached me, I will listen to you.?
