Chapter 475 Intruder

Liang Xiting likes small British-style manors in the suburbs. This type of small manor has a large area of ​​private land. Because of the low price, the annual real estate tax paid is not high. You can plan whatever you want on the land, such as building a basketball court.

For example, building an archery range, etc. The disadvantage is that because the area is large, it requires a lot of people to take care of it, otherwise it will become a wasteland covered with various green plants within a year or two.

It's very remote and the area is very large. After entering the private property, we drove for three minutes to reach the main building. The classmate's butler welcomed a few people to sit at the semi-outdoor dining table next to the main door of the main building. Although it was hot in the summer, under the shade of the trees on the eaves

With the breeze blowing, you can feel some coolness. In human words: the wind blowing makes the body feel cold and very comfortable. Choosing this location to build an open-air restaurant shows that the count or countess is a person who enjoys life.

A dining table was originally prepared for the bodyguards, but the head bodyguard said they were casual. Casual meant putting food on the table, some tea and drinks, and they could handle it themselves.

As far as the classmate's butler could explain, Daisy had explained to Liang Xi that the suspicious places were concentrated near the countess' bedroom on the third floor. Liang Xi was not in a hurry and asked the classmate's butler something about the count and his wife. He asked a question:

"After the eldest son of the earl inherited the title, he had no further 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 earl's eldest son lives in the big house with his two brothers and sisters."

The classmate butler nodded.

Liang Xi asked: "Why?"

"what why?"

Liang Xidao: "Literally, something seems wrong with the countess. The earl staying in London is beneficial to his social development, but he went to live in the country for a long time. After the eldest son inherited the title of earl, what was the reason that prevented him from communicating with the countess?

Is it just because the countess is a stepmother? As far as I know, the nobleman cares about moral stains. Even if he hates the countess, he will show appropriate kindness. For example, giving gifts during holidays, visiting occasionally, and paying homage to the count together.

Wait. The nobles also have special events, and they should attend them together with the countess."

The classmate's housekeeper didn't want to mention this matter, but when Liang Xi asked about it, he could only explain the situation. At first, everyone accepted the young, beautiful and elegant countess, but they did not expect that the countess was a believer in the Holy Religion.

After graduating from college, he went to the Middle East to do journalism work, came into contact with the Holy Religion, and became a true believer in the Holy Religion.

The British Parliament enacted a law called the Royal Succession Act in the early 18th century, which not only targeted believers in the Holy Spirit, but also Catholic believers. Members of the royal family were not allowed to marry believers of these two groups, otherwise they would be deprived of their heir qualifications. Although this

This law does not target the nobility, but this law is a red line in the potential rules of the nobility. A few years ago, the eldest grandson of the British royal family voluntarily gave up his inheritance rights in order to marry a Canadian Catholic believer.

There are many nobles in the UK, but there are less than 200 earls. Once insiders know about this, not only will the earl family be criticized, but their eldest son may be deprived of his position in the House of Lords. The earl family was just crazy at first and never thought about it.

The countess unexpectedly became pregnant with a little boy, which caused conflicts in the family. Even though the child died due to an accident, it did not ease the atmosphere in the family, but instead caused the count to be dissatisfied with his family.

The reason for dissatisfaction was that the noble family had strong ideas. They believed that the count's behavior had tarnished the honor of the nobles. 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 countryside together, leaving all affairs to the eldest son to take care of.

After the count's death, the eldest son and siblings no longer had contact with the countess.

Liang Xi couldn't comment on this. Hundreds of years of tradition have directly affected people's outlook on life. Liang Xi thought he was not qualified to say that their outlook on life was wrong. For example, the Chinese culture of caring for the elderly is also difficult for outsiders to understand. Some people cannot understand it.

Why do some people treat pets as children? Similar to Japanese, German and domestic debates, there will never be a winner.

On the other hand, the holy religion also opposes intermarriage outside the church. On the surface, it is possible to praise the eternal love that breaks through the shackles of two religions, but Liang Xi disagrees. Let's put it this way, the countess spent five years to win her

Wealth and status that may not be earned in this life. The earl spent the wealth that he would never bring with him in life or in death, and gained the companionship of a beautiful young woman for five years. From a certain perspective, it was a win-win situation.

…

After hearing the background story, Liang Xi started working. Although he was not a detective specializing in on-site investigation, on-site investigation was the basic skill of a detective. Unfortunately, the housekeeper cleaned up too cleanly and all traces were clear. However, Liang Xi found in the bedroom

She bought a lot of things. From these things, Liang Xi can conclude that the countess has not been lonely in the past few years. From the analysis of things, she is in the position of a predator. Products such as perfume and eye shadow are all products that enhance her own allure. This

Just like adding spices to a fishing nest, only if you show an attitude of accepting temptation will the fish relax their vigilance and let go of their worries.

Although the earl is dead, the title of countess will not die. Her original social starting point is very high, and she also needs to study the mentality of men. Today she eats carp, tomorrow she eats crucian carp. She is tired of eating freshwater fish and does not want to change her taste and eat sea fish for the last time.

? The title of Countess has given her a lot of glory.

Liang Xi looked at the portrait of the countess and thought that almost no one could escape from her clutches. Unless the other party, like himself, had a girlfriend who could kill her in every aspect. Isn't tuna delicious? You have to eat tilapia.

As the boss of the detective agency, whether in name or in reality, Bobby also joined in the fun to look around. He would lie on the ground and look at footprints, or look sideways for stains on the wall. Compared to Liang Xi, who was pacing around the bedroom, looking at

It looks very professional.

Liang Xi walked out of the door and asked the butler who was waiting outside: "Butler, why is there no blanket?" Holy believers knelt on the blanket and prayed many times a day.

The butler replied: "Shortly after the wedding, in order not to put too much pressure on the count, the lady had canceled her daily prayers."

Liang Xi asked: "The staff of this manor don't know that she is a believer of the Holy Religion?"

The butler nodded: "Yes."

Liang Xidao: "Did the fact that she is a believer of the Holy Cult be discovered by chance?"

The butler replied: "I don't know the specific story. I remember that one month after the wedding, the count's youngest son called a family meeting. At the meeting, he asked the lady about her faith. The lady originally answered that she was a non-believer, but the younger son looked at her and asked, "What's your belief?"

Does God allow you to deny his existence? So the wife admitted that she met a local official while working in the Middle East. During the interaction between the two parties, she was influenced by the culture of the Holy Religion, and after the conversion process, she became a believer of the Holy Religion."

The countess explained that she was preparing to marry him, so she officially joined the Holy Church. Unexpectedly, he died unexpectedly before the marriage. She loved the earl and did not want the earl to know about it. The eldest son said that since the matter was over, he could become the earl.

The lady arranged for a baptism and converted to Protestantism. But the countess refused, causing the family meeting to break up. Soon after, the earl and countess left London to live in the country. As a trainee housekeeper, Daisy's classmate went from London to the country and became a

Official steward.

Poppy lay on the ground, searching for hair carefully. Liang Xi squatted down and whispered: "The Countess has a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"She was two different people before and after the count's death." Liang Xi said: "The first possibility is that she had great endurance and finally gained wealth and status. The second possibility was that she slowly killed the count and finally gained wealth.

Wealth and status. The third possibility is that after the earl died, she had no love in her life and indulged herself in music and singing every night."

Bobby stood up and asked, "What else is possible?"

"Someone is investigating her identity, indicating that she may be a member of the Holy Flag, or have a second identity." Liang Xi said: "Assuming this is possible, the investigators are not sure whether she has a second identity. At least the current investigation

The investigator did not get a clear answer. One of the investigators may be Blade, one-eyed and capable. The second may be House, because... the third may be..."

"Wait, what could be the reason for the second one?" Bobby asked.

Because House has mastered Mal, it cannot be ruled out that Mal knows about this person's existence. Liang Xi said: "Shadow Detective Agency, they can take on any job. The third possibility is that the count's family found out that the countess had close contacts with some men in London and hired him.

The private detective is investigating her. Maybe he wants to strip her of her title of countess and drive her out of the family completely to prevent bad things from affecting the family in the future. There are other possibilities, such as someone trying to steal in the manor."

Bobby said: "But the platinum necklace is still in the drawer."

Liang Xidao: "Platinum is not valuable, and a platinum necklace cannot be sold for much money. The work here is easy and the income is good. A mole will not do anything for a worthless platinum necklace. If it is not a mole, it means that the intruder is not good enough."

Low,"

"Is there indeed an intruder?"

Liang Xi replied: "I assessed the housekeeper's mental state just now. I think her mental state is stable, so I chose to trust her intuition."

Bobby asked: "How to solve the case?"

Liang Xidao: "No matter which possibility it is, the intruder is looking for something. Either something valuable, something that can prove the countess's second identity, or something special. The countess is very careful, although the bedroom

There are a lot of tempting cosmetics and perfumes, but you can't find any information that she has direct contact with other men and women. The infiltrator has sneaked in many times, which means that he has not succeeded, and the other means that he is very persistent and believes that there is what he wants in the bedroom.

Things. So our first goal is to open the safe and see what's inside. The second goal is to find any hidden compartments that may exist in the bedroom."

Bobby said: "The housekeeper asked you to come and help the master take care of his worries. You are ready to kill the master instead."

Liang Xi asked: "Shall we go then?"

Bobby said: "No, what if she is the Holy Flag?"

"Probably not." Liang Xi walked out of the door and asked the housekeeper: "Do you know who Madam has been in contact with recently? Or has anyone come to visit?"

The butler replied: "The Earl often had guests when he was alive. After the Earl's death, no one from the aristocratic circle came to visit, except for a general. He and the Earl were comrades-in-arms. Every year during Christmas and other festivals, he would call his wife and ask someone to deliver the goods.

Come with a gift. Madam also asked someone to prepare some agricultural products to give back to the general."

Liang Xi asked: "Which general? What is 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, my wife heard about this and went to visit the general. However, General Winter is under special care, and my wife did not see the general himself."

One and a half months ago, four dignitaries were attacked, including General Winter. General Winter did not die on the spot, and was out of danger with timely rescue. However, half a month later, because General Winter was older, his injuries

Treatment led to a decline in autoimmunity, sudden organ failure late at night, and death after resuscitation failed.

Liang Xi asked: "Is there anyone else?"

"No?" The steward thought carefully for a long time: "No."

Winter knew many 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 Winter from the news.

The general died.

Liang Xi, who didn't believe in the coincidence, thought it was necessary to conduct a comprehensive search of the bedroom. At this time, the housekeeper's phone rang. After hanging up, the housekeeper said urgently: "Madam is back. Madam heard about Mr. Bobby's visit and rushed back from London." Other work in the manor

The officers didn't know that Poppy was here to handle the case, but they could tell that Poppy had a good style, 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 arrive. The housekeeper was panicked and did not ask when the countess would arrive. He only answered the countess's questions on the phone. So although it was still

If he had time, Liang Xi would give up this investigation.

The first reason is that the intruder searched many times but did not find what he wanted, and he may not be able to find it in this short time. The second reason is that Liang Xi cannot determine the nature of the case, especially with the addition of Wen

The clue of General Te made it more difficult for Liang Xi to judge.

The housekeeper asked with concern: "Is there really an intruder?"

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

The housekeeper asked: "Will it be a staff member of the manor?"

Liang Xi replied: "This possibility cannot be ruled out for the time being."

The three people came down from the third floor. Outsiders did not know that they went to the countess's bedroom on the third floor. After returning to the dining table and drinking a cup of tea, the countess arrived.

The countess gave Liang Xi the feeling of being dignified and coquettish. She was dressed appropriately and could not find anything wrong with her. Carefully observing the conversation between Poppy and the countess, Liang Xi felt that it should be the movements and smiles. Taking eating cake as an example,

Normally, it is put in the mouth, bite down, chew, swallow, and drink tea. The Countess's actions are: put in the mouth, bite down, chew slowly, add lips, and at the same time keep looking into the other person's eyes. That's right, the frivolous look is dignified.

of demonic nature.

Liang Xi believes that it is not seduction, but habitual actions. She does not realize that her actions will cause nerve shock to others, or she knows, but she does not care that it will cause nerve shock to others. I take off my socks, what do you think?
