Chapter 232 Thank you
Lin Qi opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
Sitting up, his mind was a little confused, making him a little confused for a moment.
Why am I in the auditorium?
Oh, no, this is the bedroom, but it looks like an auditorium in size.
The sun shines into the house through the bright glass windows, making the house warm. The fragrance of gardenias floats in the air, and the chirping birds come in from the window. Other than that, it is completely silent. Not hearing the chaos and noise of Charles Square.
The spacious bedroom is covered with thick cashmere carpets, and the exquisitely carved solid wood furniture reveals the unique delicacy and grace of the Victorian era. Under the unique glass lampshade, the shiny brass gas nozzles are shaped like works of art. Protruding from the inside of the wall, either as reliefs or hanging ornaments, they are integrated with the decoration of the entire room.
The exquisite four-poster bed is hung with cloud-like gauze curtains. The fluffy bedding makes people feel like they are falling into the clouds. The silk sheets are smooth and refreshing, and people can't help but reach out and touch them.
There is no decoration of gold, silver and precious stones, but it is full of elegance and luxury. This is the property purchased by the Valente family in the Rhine City. According to the description of a certain noble lady, it is just barely enough. Just a temporary residence to rest.
So, if the bedroom is too big and affects my sleep, I don’t like big houses. This is scientifically justified, and yes, it’s definitely not jealousy.
Lynch didn't go back to the apartment last night and went directly to Valente's house. It wasn't for any other reason, but now that he was holding a hot potato, Lynch didn't want to bring trouble back to the apartment. , so as not to involve Mrs. Maggie and her daughter.
But the Valente family is different. Although they are ordinary people, only those with abnormal brains would rashly provoke such a big family, so Lynch is still very relieved to stay overnight in Valente. , wait until the problem is solved today and then go back to your home.
In a short while, he will call Count Lorende's house directly and find Princess Chloe to settle the accounts.
"Dang", the quaint grandfather clock rang, and Lynch realized that he actually slept until eleven o'clock, which made him feel quite good, as if he was awakened by the sunshine outside the window and panicked. I got up and got ready to go to work, but I remembered the pleasant mood I had during the day off.
I walked barefoot on the soft carpet to the window. Outside was an open courtyard. In the quiet early summer afternoon, the fountain in the courtyard was quietly spraying. In the pavilion next to the pool, a man in casual clothes young lady is leaning on a bench, reading a thick book.
It must be another detective novel, either Detective Moriarty or Detective Noir. This girl has been poisoned.
As if sensing the sight, the young lady raised her head and saw the figure in the guest room window on the second floor. She immediately ran out of the pavilion lightly, took off her hat and waved it. Her loose blond hair was particularly bright in the sun.
This girl is so beautiful. No, I mean it’s already so late. You need to get up quickly.
The clothes had been washed and ironed and placed at the door of the guest room. Lin Qi hurriedly packed and washed them, put on his belongings and went downstairs.
This family is really weird. What do those maids mean when they look at me and smile so weirdly? I have a clown painted on my face? And those male servants, even if you look at me with such admiration, I won't tip you.
So, under the gaze of seven or eight people, Lynch had the most embarrassing meal in his life. Whether the food was exquisite or not, whether the tableware was luxurious, he had no idea about it. All he could think about during the whole process was The weird looks in the servants' eyes made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and in the end, his mind almost went blank.
The key is that the culprit is still smiling, neighbor above all else, no matter how beautiful your smile is, I will never forgive you.
【Oh, let me remember it for you. 】
‘Don’t make trouble. ’
After finally waiting until lunch was over, Lynch grabbed Miss Valente and ran out, running out of the yard as if running away. Then he was pulled back by Miss Valente who was laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up, and boarded the The carriage is ready.
Could it be that Mr. Louis, the old butler, is driving the car? The old man’s body can’t stand such torture. Moreover, this is just a public visit among nobles, not a secret operation. There is no need for the old butler to drive the car in person, so let’s let him drive the car. The old man had a good rest.
The problem is that you are such a bad old man. Why do you still tell the coachman to keep an eye on me and tell the police if you see what I do? I am really not a good person. No, I am really You're not a bad person. You don't need to look at me to guard against thieves. I didn't steal anything. You can't blame me if you lose something at home. Really.
In any case, finally escaping from the sight hell, Lynch finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened the newspaper that had been prepared in the carriage.
Pirates suddenly appeared on the coastline, heroic detectives fought bravely against gangsters, and the promise of a steak set meal was indeed in vain. I couldn’t recognize myself in the image described. The Department of Order temporarily blocked Shiratori Port in the early morning and strictly checked suspicious persons. Alas, it turned out that the fish and chips were missing. In the situation last night, I'm afraid the Rangers and Mayor Howard never dreamed that we were the rebel generals. They would only think that someone else was behind the scenes. It's a pity that I can't see their expressions with my own eyes, so I can only keep silent and make a fortune.
However, before Lynch could finish reading the first page, the carriage stopped again.
Arrived.
Originally, it was only a ten-minute drive apart. This was because the courtyard was relatively large. Strictly speaking, there were only three houses in the middle, so even ten minutes was considered too slow.
The Iris District is an aristocratic district on the Rhine. It has the best environment, the best public security, and the best facilities. Even if you have money, you can't live here. You can only buy land in the River Valley District. Only people with a certain status are eligible to live here.
Nobles' visits are always in the afternoon. In fact, they should be later, between two and three o'clock is best. The reason is that the atmosphere in the afternoon is calmer and more suitable for nobles to make decisions. But according to Lynch's explanation, it's simpler. It's just that I can't get up in the morning. Well, it was the same in my hometown in ancient times. It's not a shame.
However, the two of them did not intend to leave at each other's pace, so they arrived two hours in advance. The letter of visit had already been delivered, and the carriage drove directly into the courtyard. The two were led into the living room and waited for a while. Princess Chloe, wearing a floor-length white dress, appeared in front of them.
The obese Count Lorende did not appear, and Princess Chloe was still so unlikeable. Although he did not dare to say anything to Miss Valente, he looked at Lynch with critical eyes and said with a arrogant tone:
"The city government and the Department of Order praise you so much, I thought you How awesome are you? Aren't you the trump card of the city government and the Rangers? Why did you come to your door for help just one day later? It's a pity that I have told you everything I know. If you have anything to do, go back and ask the two detectives. Well, I’m very busy and don’t have time to say it again.”
As expected, she thought I was Mayor Howard’s person, so she attacked me so harshly. No, I'm afraid she was ruthless just because she was so annoying.
Facing the arrogant gaze of this beautiful princess, Lin Qi was not angry, but said with a half-smile: "There has been a slight change in the case. There is something I would like to ask Her Royal Highness to confirm whether she has seen it before."
"I'm not in the mood to do these chores now. Unless you can bring out the flaming red lips, I'm still in the mood to confirm. Otherwise, please don't disturb my life. Hehehe, Detective Leviev, please do it if you can't. "Return...huh?"
The mocking voice stopped suddenly, her sneer eyes froze in her pupils, Princess Chloe stared straight at Lynch, watching him take out a crimson The gem is placed on the coffee table.
Blinking, blinking again, Her Royal Highness was so surprised that she lost the ability to speak. Looking at the gem, she couldn't speak a single word, and could only open her mouth wide and utter a few meaningless syllables.
"What you just said was the flaming red lips, not the clone. Did I hear you correctly?"
Lynch's first sentence made Princess Chloe's expression change. He became pale, his eyes became more and more unbelievable, and his breathing became rapid.
"Haha, I've seen fakes exchanged for real ones a lot. This is the first time I've seen a real one exchanged for fakes, so I've learned a lot about it. I stole the gems, then replaced the fake ones with real ones and returned them to the owner, and then let them go. Someone else stole the real gem from the owner. Everyone has been deceived by you, Princess. Everyone is surrounding a real gem, but they don’t know that the replica they really want has been hidden by you. You don’t want to offend others and ruin your cooperation, and you don’t have to actually hand over the replica. As expected of the princess, your methods are amazing.”
“I, you, I, I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
< br>"We all know whether we understand or not, and there is no need to explain." Princess Chloe turned pale and was at a loss as to why she wanted to explain. Lynch suddenly raised her voice: "Shut up now and listen to me."
< br>
"You..."
"I said shut up, don't you understand? I tell you to shut up because I pity you and give you a chance to listen to me. If you are not ready to accept the charity, we will do it now Just leave." Lin Qi tapped the flaming red lips on the table, "After all, you don't want your behavior to become known to everyone, your highness."
Chloe's face suddenly turned red. His face was red, his fists were clenching and shaking, he pursed his lips tightly, but never said a word, just staring at Lynch with angry eyes.
"Ha, you are a smart man, but you just don't have any manners." Lin Qi said with a half-smile, "You accepted my charity, shouldn't you say something to express it, Your Royal Highness the Princess?"
Beautiful With anger and humiliation on his face, he uttered one word:
"Thank you."
