Chapter 9 Breakfast

After Liang Xi finished speaking, the car stuttered a few times and slowly slid forward for more than ten meters before stopping at the side of the road.

The woman was sullen: "Are you playing tricks on me?"

Liang Xi hurriedly raised his hand: "No, absolutely not. The fuel gauge is here." Luke!

The woman stretched her head. The lights in the car were dim and she couldn't see the dashboard clearly. Liang Xi reached for his mobile phone to prepare the light. The woman's hand grabbed Liang Xi's wrist, stared at Liang Xi, and asked: "What do you want to do?"

"Take your phone for lighting." Liang Xi felt the power and did not dare to move, "Let you see clearly."

Woman: "No need." She had long felt that something was wrong with Liang Xi. If she saw that he was not an ordinary person, then Liang Xi was too calm. If he thought that he was an ordinary person, then Liang Xi should not have an attitude of answering all questions.

The woman let go of Liang Xi's wrist, opened the central control drawer of the car, reached in and took out a driver's license.

I took a look with the help of the interior lights: "John?"

Liang Xidao: "It's me."

Woman: "The photo is wrong."

Liang Xi: "I mean: it's my grandfather."

What else did the woman ask? A black seven-seater van stopped side by side. The woman threw John's driver's license into the passenger seat of the car, held the gun in her left hand, pressed the wound with her right forearm, and opened the door with her right hand. While doing these actions, the woman

He looked at Liang Xi vigilantly, pushed the door open with his body and got out of the car.

The back door of the van opened and the woman was about to get in. Liang Xi rolled down the window and shouted: "Hey."

The woman turned back: "What?"

Liang Xi: “Can you give me some gasoline?”

The woman turned around and got into the car, closed the door, and the car drove away.

Liang Xi got out of the car, looked at the taillights of the van with his hands on his hips, and said angrily: "Damn Mi." Without the woman's 60 kilograms, he kept driving at a constant speed of 80 kilometers, and it was entirely possible to finish the last four kilometers. He had to do it in London.

Do you want gas? No, no, anyway, the towing bill is given to John, and he can take the 24-hour subway home.

Liang Xi has concluded that this woman is not a bad person, but she may be a good person who has turned bad. The tone and attitude of the woman's questions, the action of holding the gun, her calm mood, and her vigilance, and she would rather shout at Liang Xi than

Pointing the gun at Liang Xi explained all this. It also saved her own life. Otherwise, Liang Xi would have braked at the right moment, and she would have penetrated the front windshield directly and then been run over.

Liang Xi was not sure whether the woman was MI5 or MI6.

Now Liang Xi could only wait for the tow truck in the dark and return to London with the tow truck. But good things come to good people. When Liang Xi was about to call the rescue call, a passing driver helped Liang Xi and pumped gasoline from his fuel tank.

Liang Xi very hypocritically handed over 10 pounds to the Beetle. The driver accepted it boldly and shook hands with Liang Xi before saying goodbye. He was not polite at all.

Liang Xi first drove to a streetlight in the suburbs, and used drinking water from the trunk and a rag to wipe away the blood stains left by the woman on the back seat. Finally, he drove to John's house at nearly four o'clock in the morning. Liang Xi was still a little proud in his heart.

I calculated the limit of the gasoline and parked the car in the garage when the gasoline was almost exhausted. Thinking of John starting the car and looking at the fuel gauge in confusion, I will wake up laughing in my dreams tonight. I have to pay the price for the calculation.

There is a compartment in the garage, which was Liang Xi's residence when he was in middle school. Mary was very dissatisfied with John's decision to let Liang Xi live in the garage. She thought Liang Xi could live with them. Liang Xi agreed, and John was noncommittal. They lived together.

Half a month later, Liang Xi moved to the garage silently because Mary was too enthusiastic. She would knock on the door, deliver snacks and tea, and chat with Liang Xi. She would also lie down on the bed when Liang Xi came back, throwing things around.

Correct some bad habits such as messy desks.

Although the garage cubicle is simple, it is the first private space that Liang Xi has. Here he can put up celebrity posters at will, play pop music, and do homework while hanging upside down. If his brain twitches, he can even jump into a crab on the spot.

dance.

After Liang Xi went to college, the bed, tables, chairs and a few pieces of furniture were covered with dust-proof cloths. Liang Xi opened the dust-proof cloth on the bed, only half of it, because he only slept on half of the bed. He didn't wash up either.

, take off your pants and socks, throw them at the end of the bed, lie down and go to sleep.



At seven o'clock in the morning, the biological clock woke up Liang Xi on time. Liang Xi came out of the garage and had breakfast on the grass in the front yard. Breathing the fresh air, Mary and John raised their hands to say hello. Liang Xi washed himself in the bathroom on the first floor and went to the toilet by the way.

.Back in the front yard, Mary had already poured him tea.

Liang Xi put the car keys in front of John, sat down, picked up the cakes and enjoyed his breakfast, and explained in detail the process of handling the case yesterday.

After listening, John asked: "What is the basis for your suspicion?"

Liang Xi replied: "Lawyer Cook was invited from London to Reading to witness a sealed will. He was also sent by the Earl to rush to Oxford to take a plane to France. Cook is an old man. From what I know about the Earl's children,

It seems that the earl should not have sent Cook like this. I guess the earl may have run out of time. I will understand it from this line, then synthesize all the information, and finally come to a conclusion."

John nodded: "This case is not difficult for you."

Liang Xi disagreed: "You can't say that. There are several questions that bother me most about this case: Has the will been destroyed? If the will has not been destroyed, is it in the hands of the housekeeper? In the hands of the children? Or has he worked in the manor for dozens of years?

A young maid? Once I ask the wrong person or the wrong question, I will lose all my chips."

John was noncommittal, took a tissue to wipe away the tea stained on his beard, and asked: "For the Earl family, who is more important, Cook or the butler?"

Liang Xi replied: "Of course he is the housekeeper. He knows all the secrets of the family and is responsible for the operation of the entire family."

John said: "Since you speculated that the earl used tactful or strong methods to get Cook out of the Davis family, is it possible that the earl would let the butler he doesn't trust stay in the family?"

Liang Xi nodded slowly: "So the housekeeper is one of the count's most trustworthy people."

John said: "The two maids have entered the Earl's Manor since they were in their 20s and are the Earl's most trusted people. But you have to know that the work of a housekeeper cannot be compared with that of a maid. For example, you can ask Dai Dai from the maid's mouth.

The matter of the second couple. But you can't get these clues from the butler. In addition, you have contacted the count's four children, and you should be able to confirm that the butler must know about the will. The only headache for you is whether the will is still there.

"

John said: "Assuming that the will has been burned, your conversation with the butler means you asked the right person and asked the wrong question. You should not throw away your chips. You should first explain Cook's contribution to the earl family over the years.

Ask, express that you know that the housekeeper understands the meaning of the will, and give the initiative to the housekeeper. Although the results are good, there are some minor problems in the process you handled, but I am very satisfied with your overall performance. Therefore, I decided to send it to you.

Two gifts.”
