Liang Xi explained to the housekeeper: "The earl has three wills in total. The first is the will entrusted to a lawyer to testify and be kept. The second is a sealed will. The third is a sealed will drawn up a few days before the earl's death. I see

After reading the first two wills, I found that the property distribution was exactly the same, which made me wonder why the earl would draft an identical will again."

Liang Xidao: "The answer is naturally because of Dai's influence. Judging from conversations with several children, they all know that Dai Er has some problems. Dai is the most favored by the earl and his wife. She and her two brothers are not the same.

Just like that, you dare to throw away the etiquette of aristocrats and express your dissatisfaction. I talked with the maid and learned that Dai Er and Cook had dinner together. The maid must not know, and as a housekeeper, you will not mind the housework. Only Dai Er

The earl would only look for evidence when he didn't believe him. The conversation between father and daughter did not avoid the maid, which led to the maid knowing about Dai Er's meal with Cook."

Liang Xidao: "After learning that Cook had a private relationship with Dai Er, the earl drafted a second sealed will. To the earl's disappointment, Dai Er was still in contact with Cook, and might even be inquiring about the will.

You know that with today's technology, the seal of the paper bag is not impeccable. Cook could have opened the information bag, or not removed it from the signature, or used technology to remove the signature, or forged the signature."

Liang Xidao: "Dai Er knew how much he could get from the first will. After learning that there was a new will, his heart became excited. He contacted Cook more frequently. I never understood why Cook would abandon him.

What about the professional ethics of having private contact with the prospective heir? I learned from others that Dai Er’s wife and Cook’s daughter are good friends and best friends. I believe you all know, but you will not talk to an outsider like me.

Talk about other people's business."

Liang Xidao: "I inquired and learned that before the third will was drawn up, you had a long chat with the doctor who came to see you. After that, you were in a very low mood and even got angry with the gardener and other staff. This is because you worked at the Earl's Manor.

Something that hadn’t happened in thirty years. I guess the doctor had already pronounced the count’s death sentence at that time. So there was a third will.”

Liang Xi: "I have two guesses. The first guess: The purpose of the last will is to teach Cook a lesson. After all, Cook is the lawyer of the Earl's father. At the same time, the Earl hopes that his descendants will not hire Cook again. The second guess

Two guesses: The Earl wants to punish Cook for betraying the decades-long trust the Davis family has placed in him."

Liang Xi waited for a moment, but when the butler didn't respond, he continued: "Yes, the person who stole the will was none other than Earl Davis himself. The only thing I'm not sure about now is the Earl's character. If my first guess is

Yes, the will should be in your hands, butler. You will take it out at the appropriate time when the will is announced tomorrow night. In order not to embarrass Cook or leave a stain on the family, you should tactfully remind Cook that he should take the initiative to tell David

The Si family submitted their resignation, which is a very appropriate approach."

The butler tasted it for a while and asked, "What if it's the second possibility?"

Liang Xi said: "Then you go to sleep, and I will go back to my detective agency and pretend that nothing happened."

The housekeeper was curious: "Oh? That's it?"

Liang Xi Tanshou: "I'm just a detective, not a policeman. I don't have a search warrant or any evidence. If I talk nonsense, you will sue me for bankruptcy. Although I don't have many assets myself. As for Cook, I can only say I'm sorry.

Already."

The steward said: "Cook is your employer, you should tell him your views."

Liang Xi shook his head: "What kind of employer is it if you don't pay me?" He raised his eyebrows, you know the transportation fee.

The butler really didn't understand what Liang Xi's eyebrows meant. He thought that the detective Cook could hire would never care about hundreds or thousands of pounds. The butler thought for a while, stood up and entered his bedroom, took out the will from the drawer,

Put it in front of Liang Xi: "You are right."

Liang Xi said: "You can hand it over to Cook tomorrow night as planned."

The steward said: "No, this is your reward, the reward you deserve. Although it is not in the plan, I think I should give you the will."

Liang Xi hinted for the second time: "Reward? Haha, I always thought the reward refers to pounds. Hate it!"

The butler was thinking about other things and said: "Mr. Cook is not only the Earl's father's lawyer, but also a good friend of the Earl's father. The second sealed will is already the Earl's hint to Mr. Cook. As the lawyer of the Davis family

, he should have basic professional ethics. As for Dai Er's behavior, the earl did not blame him, because he had served in the army for 12 years and had paid a lot for the family. He did not want his son to be embarrassed in front of him. He invited me to speak with him after the funeral.

I had a conversation with Dai Er. There was only one thing that convinced me to convince Dai Er to hand over his assets to a trust fund for investment management after paying off his debts."

Liang Xi thought thoughtfully: "This case has made me change some of my views on nobles. Although nobles look down on civilians at heart, they are well-educated."

The butler smiled and replied: "Nobles can be arrogant, conceited, and even some nobles will do some ridiculous things. But nobles are also the most decent people. They will not and cannot tarnish the image of their own class. For this reason, they treat their children

The education is very strict, because children represent the future of the nobility and the dignity of the family. As you said, they may look down on you, but they will not lack the basic courtesy towards you."

Liang Xi picked up the will and stood up, extending his hand: "I'm glad to chat with you."

The housekeeper shook hands with Liang Xi: "I'm also very happy to meet a very interesting detective."

Liang Xi walked towards the door, turned his head and greeted: "Goodbye."

The butler walked to the door, stood by the door and said: "Good night, sir."

…

At two o'clock in the morning, Liang Xi knocked on Cook's room. Cook greeted him in his pajamas. Liang Xi handed over the will and said: "The matter is done, I have to leave."

After Cook got the will, he checked the seal and confirmed that it was the real will. He originally wanted to ask how he got it, but when he heard that Liang Xi was leaving, he asked, "Now?"

Liang Xi replied: "You may have to tip the waiter tomorrow morning." You should be able to hear such an obvious hint, right?

Cook thought Liang Xi was joking. Who is John and why would he care about the few dollars in tips? Cook was concerned about the will and asked: "Where did you find it?"

Sure enough, a ruthless person would not give him twenty yuan. Liang Xi replied: "After you read the will, I think you know what you should do. Good night and goodbye." When Cook found that the three wills were exactly the same, he should
