Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liang Xi quite likes small English-style manors in the suburbs, which have a large area of ??private land.  Because the price is cheap, the real estate tax to be paid every year is not high.  You can plan freely in the land, such as building a basketball court, such as building an archery range and so on.  The disadvantage is that because of the large area, there are many people who need to take care of it, otherwise it will become a wasteland full of various green plants within a year or two.

    It's very remote, and the area is also very large. After entering the private territory, it took three minutes to drive to the main building.  The classmate housekeeper received a few people to sit at the semi-outdoor dining table next to the main building gate.  Although the summer is scorching, but under the shade of the eaves and the breeze blowing, you can feel some coolness.  In human terms: the wind blowing makes the body feel cold and very comfortable.  Being able to choose this location to build an open-air restaurant shows that the Earl or Countess is a person who enjoys life.

    Originally, a dining table was prepared for the bodyguards, but the chief bodyguard said that they were free.  Casual means to put food on the table, put some tea and drinks, and they handle it by themselves.

    Daisy had already explained to Liang Xi that the classmate butler could explain the situation, and the suspicious places were all concentrated near the Countess' bedroom on the third floor.  Liang Xi was not in a hurry, and asked his classmate butler about the earl and his wife.  A question was raised: "After the eldest son of the earl inherited the title, did he have no contact with the countess?"

    The classmate butler nodded.

    Liang Xi asked: "Ten years ago, the earl moved here from London shortly after marrying the countess. The earl's children have a big house in London. The eldest son of the earl lives in the big house with his two brothers and sisters."

    The classmate butler nodded.

    Liang Xi asked, "Why?"

    "what why?"

    Liang Xi said: "Literally, it seems that the countess is not right. Staying in London is beneficial for the count's social development, but he has lived in the countryside for a long time. After the eldest son inherits the title of count, why does he not associate with the countess?  Is it just because the countess is the stepmother? As far as I know, the nobleman cares about moral stains very much. Even if he hates the countess no matter how much he hates, he will show his kindness appropriately. For example, giving gifts during the festivals, visiting occasionally, and worshiping the count together  Wait a minute. There are special events for nobles, so they should attend together with the Countess."

    The classmate butler didn't want to mention this matter at first, so he could only explain the situation when Liang Xi asked about it.  At the beginning, everyone accepted this young, beautiful, and elegant countess, but they did not expect that the countess was a believer in the Holy Church. After graduating from university, she went to the Middle East to do journalism work.  Saint believers.

    The British Parliament enacted a law called the Royal Inheritance Law in the early 18th century, which not only targeted the believers of the Holy Church, but also the believers of the Catholic Church.  Members of the royal family are not allowed to marry believers of these two factions, otherwise they will be disqualified as heirs.  Although this law does not target nobles, this law is a red line in the underlying rules of the nobles.  A few years ago, the eldest grandson of the British royal family voluntarily gave up his inheritance rights in order to marry a Catholic believer in Canada.

    There are many British nobles, but there are less than two hundred earls.  Once people in the circle know about this, not only will the earl family be criticized, but its eldest son may be deprived of his position in the House of Lords.  The earl's family was just crazy at first, but they never thought that the countess was pregnant with a little boy, which led to conflicts in the family.  Even though the child died later due to an accident, it did not ease the atmosphere at home, but instead caused the earl to be dissatisfied with his family.

    The reason for dissatisfaction is that the noble family has a strong sense of concept. They believe that the earl's behavior has tarnished the honor of the noble, and the eldest son also stated that he would not recognize a pagan younger brother.  In the end the count and his wife went to live in the country together, leaving all affairs in the hands of the eldest son.  After the count's death, the eldest son and siblings ceased to communicate with the countess.

    Liang Xi couldn't comment on this. The centuries-old tradition directly affects people's three views. Liang Xi thinks he is not qualified to say that their three views are wrong.  For example, the culture of supporting the elderly among the Chinese is also difficult for outsiders to understand.  Some people can't understand why some people treat pets like children.  Similar to Japanese, German and domestic are always in debate, but there will never be a winner.

    Conversely, the Holy Church also opposes extra-Christian marriages.  The love of year-end love that breaks through the shackles of the two religions can be praised on the surface, but Liang Xi doesn't take it seriously.  Let's put it this way, the countess spent five years acquiring wealth and status that she might not have been able to earn in her entire life.  The earl spent the wealth that he did not bring with him in his life or in his death, and obtained the companionship of a young and beautiful woman for five years.  In a way, it's a win-win situation

    After listening to the background story, Liang Xi started work. Although he is not a detective who specializes in on-site investigation, on-site investigation is the basic skill of a detective. Unfortunately, the housekeeper cleaned up too cleanly, and all traces were clear.  However, Liang Xi found a lot of things in the bedroom.  From these things, it can be concluded that the Countess has not been lonely these past few years.thing.  So our first goal is to open the safe and see what's inside.  The second goal is to find possible hidden compartments in the bedroom.  "

    Bobby said: "The butler invited you to help the master share his worries, and you are going to kill the master instead."

    Liang Xi asked, "Then shall we go?"

    Bobby said: "Don't, what if she is the Holy Banner?"

    "Probably not." Liang Xi walked out the door and asked the housekeeper, "Do you know who Madam has been in contact with recently? Or has anyone visited?"

    The butler replied: "When the earl was alive, he often had guests. After the earl passed away, no one in the noble circle visited him, except for a general. He and the earl are comrades-in-arms.  A present. Madam also asked someone to prepare some agricultural products to give back to the general.¡±

    Liang Xi asked: "Which general? What's his name?"

    The butler replied: "General Winter, Joe, General Winter."

    Liang Xi was greatly surprised: "General Winter who was attacked more than a month ago? General Winter who was attacked by bows and arrows?"

    The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, Madam heard about this and went to visit the general on purpose. However, General Winter is under special care, Madam did not see the general himself."

    A month and a half ago, four dignitaries were attacked, and General Winter was among them.  General Winter did not die on the spot, and his life was out of danger with timely rescue.  However, half a month later, because General Winter was older, his autoimmunity was weakened due to injury treatment, and his organs failed suddenly in the middle of the night, and he died after rescue.

    Liang Xi asked: "Is there anyone else?"

    "No?" The butler thought for a long time: "No."

    Winter knew a lot of people. Is it a coincidence that he happened to know the Countess?  Liang Xi didn't know. After Winter was attacked, the National Defense Police took over the case. Liang Xi didn't know about the follow-up investigation of the case. He also learned about the death of General Winter from the news.

    Liang Xi, who did not believe in coincidences, thought it necessary to search the bedroom thoroughly.  At this moment the butler's phone rang, and after hanging up the phone, the butler said anxiously: "Madam is back. Madam heard that Mr. Poppy is visiting, so she rushed back from London."  Seeing Bobby's style, he is also a luxury car and a bodyguard, so the nosy person contacted the countess.

    It takes about an hour to get here from London. If the Countess is in the western suburbs of London, it only takes more than half an hour to get there.  The butler didn't ask the Countess when she was due to panic, but only answered the Countess' questions on the phone.  Therefore, although there was still time, Liang Xi gave up this investigation.

    The first reason is that the intruder has searched for many times and failed to find what he wanted, so he may not be able to find it in this little time.  The second reason is that Liang Xi cannot determine the nature of the case, especially with the addition of General Winter, which makes it more difficult for Liang Xi to judge.

    The butler asked concerned: "Is there really an intruder?"

    Liang Xi nodded: "I think so, but I have no evidence. I don't know the purpose of the intruder either. I need to know what the intruder is looking for before I can know the identity of the other party."

    The steward asked: "Will it be the staff of the manor?"

    Liang Xi replied: "This possibility is not ruled out for the time being."

    The three of them came down from the third floor, and outsiders didn't know that they were going to the countess' bedroom on the third floor.  After returning to the table for a cup of tea, the Countess arrives.

    The Countess gave Liang Xi the impression that she was dignified and coquettish. This person was well dressed and could not find any major faults.  After carefully observing the conversation between Bobby and the countess, Liang Xi felt that it should be the movements and smiles.  Take eating cake as an example, normally put it in the mouth, bite down, chew, swallow, and drink tea.  The Countess' actions are: put in the mouth, bite down, chew slowly, add lips, and keep looking at the other person's eyes.  That's right, the frivolous eyes are the seductiveness in the dignity.

    Liang Xi thought it was not a seduction, but a habitual action.  She didn't realize that her actions were causing nerve shock to others, or she knew, but she didn't care that it was nerve shock to others.  I take off my socks, what do you think is up to you, different people see different things
