Chapter 6 Butler
At nightfall, the butler invited Liang Xi to the restaurant for dinner. In addition to people from the law firm, there were also other nobles and even representatives of the royal family. The nobles and royal family will not go to the manor to attend the funeral tomorrow morning, and those who came today are all nobles.
The second generation and the second generation of the emperor. They went to the manor first to express their condolences to their relatives.
Liang Xi dislikes this kind of politeness the most. It only takes five minutes to eat a steak, and fifty minutes to be polite. Even if no one cares about him, he still has to listen to the five-minute politeness. Dining with these distinguished disciples, you don't want to
He was embarrassed and left after eating. Liang Xi was embarrassed, but he didn't want to be embarrassed. So Liang Xi sat alone on a chair in the back garden, enjoying a piece of food and a glass of lemonade brought by the maid in the night breeze.
This is not the first time that Liang Xi has helped John handle a case. In the past few years, John has become more and more lazy, leaving all the work that can be assigned to Liang Xi. Every day, John stays at home and reads the newspaper. Even except for the old man
Apart from appointments with friends, John and Mary only took walks near their home. Forget it, John gave Liang Xi unprofitable work, and there was no discussion of remuneration.
Of course Liang Xi knew that John was trying to encourage him to get to know more people and get to know more people from the upper class, but Liang Xi was not interested in getting to know people from the upper class. He felt that it was impossible to be friends if the class levels were different. What?
?The upper class can support you and give you opportunities? If I want to sell my face, I might as well change my career and become a Robin Hood, stealing things and giving to the poor. Who is the poorest? Of course, you are the poorest. It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. The key is to be a Robin Hood.
If you stick to your principles, who would let you know only a poor guy like yourself?
A melodious violin sound came from the side, and Liang Xi could not help but follow the sound and walked towards the music. The soft moonlight and the beautiful melody perfectly blended together, making people stop and not want to leave. The performer lightly closed his eyes and did not notice
When someone comes close to you, you are completely immersed in your own world and become mesmerized.
No, the performer is not a beautiful girl in a white evening dress, let alone a princess. She is a gardener, a male gardener, a fat uncle in his forties wearing work clothes. The melody is soft and the picture is inconsistent. Apart from Liang Xi, the only one
The audience is the gardener's wife.
After the song was finished, Liang Xi applauded. Liang Xi didn't know how good it sounded. He was tone-deaf. But he reasoned that anyone who dared to play the violin in the aristocratic territory must have a few brushes, so he applauded first.
The gardener was very embarrassed, shook hands with Liang Xi humbly, and apologized for disturbing Liang Xi. The gardener's wife brought some tea, and the two started chatting. After chatting for half an hour, Liang Xi basically solved the case, and he knew who had committed the theft.
He also guessed the accomplice in the will. However, he did not have any evidence and could not determine the identity of the accomplice, let alone whether the new will had been destroyed.
…
The Earl Manor has two guest rooms and several separate guest rooms, Yaju Villa, which are specially used to receive guests. For example, the housekeeper will arrange for the children of the royal family or powerful people to live in the Yaju Villa. The children of the nobles will be sent to Building A.
Floor, the guest rooms, facilities and services here are no worse than those of star hotels. In order to cope with the funeral, the housekeeper specially hired chefs and professional service personnel from the hotel temporarily.
The staff of the law firm live in Building B. The conditions are relatively simple, but they are better than the standard rooms of ordinary hotels. There are also professional hotel room service staff dedicated to providing services to them.
All this is called face, and you cannot afford such face without money. Therefore, the gap between aristocrats and aristocrats will slowly become apparent. After losing their wealth, the aristocrats with empty titles will take the path of civilians and appear to be civilians.
He is close to the people, and at the same time, he uses the excuse of being close to the people to cover up his lack of wealth. On the contrary, the nobles who have mastered the wealth strive to maintain everything that a noble should have, so as to build an insurmountable identity gap between themselves and the wealthy businessmen.
.
Building C is far from Building AB and is where the manor staff stay. The conditions are not bad. Such as housekeepers and maids who serve the main residence. They have their own houses in the main residence to respond to the count's call at any time. The maids live in
On the first floor, the butler lives in a side room on the second floor. The room is not very big, but the style is very high. It also has no sense of beauty. Why is it said to have style? This is a real aristocratic manor, and it must have style, although Liang Xi doesn't know style.
Where is.
Guests began to come to the house today, and there were a lot of things to do, so the housekeeper was very busy. Liang Xi quietly drank tea on the first floor and waited until the housekeeper returned to the main residence at one o'clock in the morning. Liang Xi greeted him: "Let's talk about it conveniently
?”
The butler kept standing and replied: "Of course."
The housekeeper asked Liang Xi to sit down, and Liang Xi said: "It's midnight, disturbing others' rest. Why don't we go to your room to have a chat? If it's convenient."
The butler kept smiling and said: "I have been working in the manor for thirty years. This is the first time I heard that someone wanted to chat with me in my room, and it was at one o'clock in the morning."
Liang Xi felt ashamed and said: "I come from a humble background and I don't know how to be polite."
The housekeeper said hurriedly: "No, no, that's not what I meant."
Liang Xidao: "Even if I'm not polite, I insist on going to your room to have a chat now. Is that okay?"
The housekeeper looked at Liang Xi for a few seconds and nodded: "Of course, please."
…
The housekeeper hung his coat on the coat rack, and Liang Xi had already walked into the room. It was indeed very rude. Not only that, Liang Xi also looked around the entire living room rudely, and even tilted his head and glanced at the bedroom.
The housekeeper didn't take it seriously, closed the door and asked, "Isn't Mr. Liang a lawyer from Cook Law Firm?"
Liang Xi nodded: "No!"
The butler asked: "Detective?"
Liang Xi thought for a while and replied: "I don't count as a detective. Detective work is paid. I'm just an errand boy."
The housekeeper rarely comes across such common sayings. It took him a while to understand the meaning and couldn't help but laugh: "Please sit down."
Liang Xi sat down, and the butler also sat down: "Mr. Liang, what do you want to see me for?"
Liang Xi asked: "Is there a process required?"
The housekeeper said: "I need to get up early tomorrow."
Liang Xi nodded: "Then let me get to the point directly: Please hand over your will."
The butler asked: "Will?"
Liang Xidao: "You said you had to get up early tomorrow, and now I have to start explaining again."
The housekeeper looked at Liang Xi and said, "When I first saw you, I knew you were a detective. But I don't understand what a will means."
Liang Xidao: "No way?"
Butler: "I really don't understand what a will is."
Liang Xidao: "No, I mean, I look like a detective?"
The butler replied: "From the perspective of paying attention to people and objects, based on my years of experience in looking at people, I can tell you that you are either a detective or a thief."
Liang Xi thought for a while: "What did we just talk about?" These eyes are too poisonous.
The butler smiled and said: "Will."
"Yes, the will." Liang Xi said: "I analyzed everyone's situation, and I think that none of the four children of the earl stole the will."
The butler asked: "What then?"
Liang Xi clapped his right fingers in the heart of his left hand: "You don't even care about the will being stolen." I caught you and found the right person.
