Case 1 Bill's Curse Volume 4
Eight Uninvited Guests (At this moment) "Butler, where are the two of them?" Hagrid called the butler after finishing his dinner and asked.
The butler replied respectfully:
"Master, they are walking around with Master Joey."
"Cousin Joey?" Hagrid was surprised, frowned, and asked, "Have you told Joey their identities?"
"No, the young master has ordered that the matter of hiring detectives should be kept secret, so I told Master Joey that they are your friends."
Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief (they probably wouldn't reveal their identity) and was thinking about something. At this time, Joey came over with two live treasures and greeted him with a smile:
"Haha, Hagrid, you are here - are you done with the social activities?"
Hagrid's body trembled, as if he was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile:
"Hello, Cousin Joey! Thank you for helping me take care of these two friends of mine - I haven't had time and I'm worried about neglecting them!"
For some reason, Joey sighed slowly and pretended to be angry and said to Hagrid:
"You - you are always so polite. How many times have you told me to just call me Joey! Don't always call me cousin... By the way, your two detective friends are so interesting! -
Forgot, I am also friends with them now, haha..."
"Ah! (Detective)..." Hagrid and the housekeeper were startled. The housekeeper glanced at the two of them reproachfully, but remained calm on the surface. Tang Peng seemed to have read through their thoughts.
, quietly giving Hagrid a wink to ask him to calm down.
Cheng Shuai didn't pay attention to this and laughed loudly and said to Hagrid:
"It turns out that Joey is also a detective fan. I'm considering whether to accept him as my apprentice! Haha..."
Joey also imitated Cheng Shuai and laughed loudly.
The housekeeper was very angry at Cheng Shuai's rudeness and was about to step forward to say something when Hagrid stopped him.
"Cousin Joey, these two friends of mine are very funny, but if there is anything wrong with their words, please don't worry about it!" Hagrid also felt that Cheng Shuai's words were a bit rude.
"Haha...where." Joey said with a smile, "Why should friends stick to this?"...
"Joy! Come here!" Someone called Joey not far away.
Joey glanced at the man, smiled and nodded to him, then turned to Hagrid and others and said:
"Don't worry, I have to be busy with social activities, so I'll take my leave now - by the way, Hagrid, happy birthday!"
After saying that, he walked towards the man. Joey chatted with the man for a while and then disappeared into the crowd... But Hagrid and others looked at the back of the man who called Joey in surprise. The man had just arrived.
He is middle-aged, completely bald, with dark skin and tall stature.
"Wang Yu!" Tang Peng was secretly surprised.
Hagrid seemed even more surprised by Wang Yu's appearance and whispered to the housekeeper:
"What is the boss of the 'Yuhuan Group' doing here? - Who gave him the invitation?"
The butler did not answer immediately. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he clenched his fists, but immediately put them down, quickly returned to normal, and replied respectfully:
"Sorry, Master, we did not send an invitation to Mr. Wang Yu. It seems that he was invited by Master Joey!"
Tang Peng saw that Hagrid was not very welcoming to Wang Yu, so he asked softly:
"Excuse me, Mr. Hagrid, can I find a quieter place to talk to you?"
"Ah!" Hagrid came back to his senses, "Okay, I have something to tell you two."...
Nine real commissions. The two were led into the living room of an extremely luxurious house. The furniture and decoration in the room were very expensive. There was also a high-end swimming pool and sports room. What was even more unexpected was that there was actually a room dedicated to raising precious stones.
An indoor greenhouse for plants! The two living treasures were immediately dumbfounded.
"I, I finally saw the legendary presidential suite! Wow..." Cheng Shuai burst into tears with excitement.
"...(Shameful) Mr. Hagrid's room is indeed luxurious!" Tang Peng also said with envy.
"My room? No! My room is currently surrounded by a group of people who are waiting to celebrate my birthday and flatter me. I can't enter it for the time being. Haha, this is the housekeeper's house! - Please sit wherever you like!"
After Hagrid finished speaking, he ordered the butler to bring coffee to the two living treasures.
"What!" Cheng Shuai turned to look at Hagrid with an exaggerated expression, which startled Hagrid. He just heard him shout, "Butler's room?! That - do you still need a servant?"
The other three sweated, and Hagrid replied awkwardly:
"Well, no need for now... Can we talk about business now - how are you two investigating the whereabouts of 'Diamond Dust'?"
Tang Peng sat on the sofa and looked at Hagrid calmly.
"Well... there has been some progress. According to the information, it disappeared two days before your father's death - we suspect that it is related to your father's death!"
"Oh?" Hagrid immediately expressed great interest in this answer and asked, "What did you find out about my father's death?"
"Something your group is trying so hard to hide!" Cheng Shuai suddenly became serious.
At this time, the butler brought coffee and brought it to Hagrid and the guests. Hagrid took a sip of coffee and said calmly:
"Is it the strange death of my father and the unknown cause of death?"
"Ah! Master..." The housekeeper was surprised.
"It doesn't matter, they will investigate this sooner or later."
"Actually, this is what Mr. Hagrid really wants us to investigate!" Tang Peng said seriously.
"Haha! - If you really go find the dog obediently, I'm afraid I'll have to ask smarter people to help me!" Hagrid smiled, then looked at Tang Peng with some doubts, and asked, "But
I don’t understand: Why do you want to reveal your identity?”
"Exposed? - Haha!" Cheng Shuai suddenly laughed, "With the financial resources of your group, it is easy to investigate our identities! Rather than lying, it is better to speak frankly to reduce suspicion!"
Hagrid nodded silently, but he was obviously very worried.
"Don't worry!" Tang Peng said comfortingly, "You want us to investigate this matter secretly and we know it well - it would be very difficult for you to investigate in the group, so you gave me three days...
.”
Hagrid sighed, nodded, and suddenly said excitedly:
"Please find the murderer of my father!"
"Don't worry! I'll leave it to this great genius!" Cheng Shuai patted his chest and replied confidently.
"Yes!" Tang Peng also nodded, and then asked in a low voice, "By the way, about the curse on your last name..."
"Absurd!" Hagrid suddenly said angrily, "There is no curse! Someone is clearly using this to kill people!"
Tang Peng nodded, sighed, and said:
"People always think that what they see is the truth, but they don't know what kind of truth is hidden behind this fact..."
"Yes! (That seems to be my words) Don't worry! We will definitely uncover the truth hidden behind it!" Cheng Shuai said confidently.
"Well! Thank you!"
"Well, Master Hagrid, can I make a request?"
"sure."
"Can I take a look around this room? I've always dreamed of living in a house like this!" Cheng Shuai drooled and looked at Hagrid.
"...Okay, butler! You can show Mr. Cheng Shuai around your room!"
