Chapter 13: Wise Elizabeth, Rainy Night Boy
There was a new development in the murder case at Stan School, and DeWitt said that the principal's younger brother did it, but DeWitt did not tell himself why.
It's just that Jiang Yuanxi later accidentally learned that the truth of the matter was designed by the principal's wife and younger brother, for the principal's legacy.
However, neither of them will get that valuable amount of money now, and all the money will go into the pockets of the principal's ex-wife.
Such an ending can also be said to be ironic.
When he walked out of the yard again and passed through the meadow, Jiang Yuanxi was still a little frightened, afraid that the group of werewolves would appear again, but fortunately, such a thing did not happen.
Successfully arrived at the school and met the teachers in the class and the classmates who were about to spend a few years with her, Jiang Yuanxi couldn't talk about joy or boredom, but sometimes she felt that what the teacher said was interesting, which attracted her attention more.
Unconsciously, the sun was setting, the golden sunlight was pouring on the Berlin road, and a row of cars were parked in front of the Stan School.
Finally, in the middle of the position, I found DeWitt, who couldn't laugh and cry.
"It's a good location. Jiang Yuanxi pursed his lips and got into the car from the other side.
DeWitt started the car, always paying attention to the movement of the cars in front and behind, and finally turned the front of the car, but saw a boy looking at this side in the rearview mirror, more precisely, looking at Jiang Yuanxi.
DeWitt slowed down, just in time to remind Jiang Yuanxi, "Do you know that boy?"
Jiang Yuanxi just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, "Classmates in the class, go home, I'm hungry." β
DeWitt smiled helplessly, and the car sped up.
The boy who remained in place slowly came back to his senses and looked at the butler behind him, "Mr. Spark, what is the relationship between that girl and Count Leo?"
The elderly butler put one hand on his chest and said respectfully, "Honorable Young Master Hobbes, Sheriff Black said that Miss Jiang is the younger sister of Count Leo. β
The boy named Hobbes had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, and more importantly, his gaze had a magic that could move the people he was looking at, Hobbes blinked, and his beautiful eyes showed a hint of interest, "Father said that he wanted to choose a fiancΓ©e for me, so it would be better to choose her." β
The butler Spark was slightly distracted, he really didn't expect that the always calm Young Master Hobbes would make such a request,
"This matter still needs the Duke's decision. β
The boy raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked at Hobbes behind him, "Father will agree, whether it's because of the girl herself or the Leo family behind her." β
Looking at the boy's confident appearance, Spark replied with a smile, opened the car door, and the boy finally got into the car butler and walked around to the driver's seat, and the car started slowly.
Compared to DeWitt's caution, the black car seemed much more poised and calm, as everyone else was making way for him, consciously or unconsciously.
Hobbsdier is not only the backbone of the economy of Philo City, but also the indispensable business tycoon of the entire district.

As night fell, Lan Xi's injuries gradually improved, and he could recover so quickly without missing arms and legs, which once again let the people on this boat see the ability of the young man in white, and he had a little more net weight.
As for Harry, he became an ordinary sailor, and he preferred to be with Lan Xi, a more active teenager, rather than with Lee Sang-qing, and would be more relaxed.
For no one else had ever seen the appearance of a man and a woman as they rose from the sea. To Harry, the two of them looked more like they were coming from the sea, and he didn't dare to speculate any further.
On the dim deck, the dim light gradually brightened, and Harry, who was in charge of the night's vigil, turned to look, and the two ships had caught up with each other at some point, and the people on board were somewhat familiar.
Harry hurriedly rushed into the cabin to wake up the others, and in a short time the Kung Fu deck was already filled with Black Jasmine's sailors.
Isola in a white jacket was a little worried when he walked out of the cabin, but when he saw the ship next to him, the corners of his mouth twitched.
But still out of humanitarianism, when Lan Xi limped out of the cabin, he said, "Actually, it's not bad to get married now, and we old guys may be able to hold our grandson." β
Lan Xi glanced at him, looked at the two ships that sandwiched Black Jasmine in the middle, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
Compared to Black Jasmine's hull, these two ships are really worse than half a star.
I really don't know where that old man got the confidence to be his son-in-law.
Li Xiangqing watched with interest on the side, and the mermaid who had been holding his wrist tightly was a little discouraged, gave up struggling, but looked at the embarrassment on the young man's face, and laughed slowly.
Lan Xi looked at the two gloating people and muttered, "Who are these people?"
As soon as the words fell on the boat on the left, the captain with the black hat had already shouted, "Lan Xi, we have agreed that if I can catch up with your ship in half a year, you will marry my daughter, are you going to regret it?"
said that he was afraid that others would not know that the "plump" girl next to him was her daughter, so she pushed her daughter forward.
Of course, the crew of Black Jasmine knew what kind of person Captain Pro's daughter was, and there were many people who were coaxing at the moment, and there were few people who helped Lan Xi speak.
Li Xiangqing rarely smiled, "It looks good, or it's over, start a family first, and then start a business, not to mention that this family is not a loss, marry the captain's daughter, and your hegemony on the sea is just around the corner." β
Lan Xi glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, I want to marry you!"
Li Xiangqing smiled, and at that moment, his eyebrows were full of flowers, which made the mermaid next to him look stupid.
Lan Xi is also a person who is used to seeing wind and waves, and immediately replied with a chuckle, "Captain Pro, this time it's not half a year, if I'm not mistaken, it's only 160 days, and there are still 20 days before half a year." β
Prolo shouted, "Lan Xi, don't be forceful, I have already given you a chance last time, and this time I won't let you slip away easily!"
Lan Xi rolled her eyes, "I said that you are so old, you can't believe it once?"
Prohaha laughed, "Lan Xi, we are pirates, because of my beloved Elizabeth, I have already given you a chance, but since you have met it for the third time, you can't blame me!
Li Xiangqing smacked his tongue slightly, even if he was a robber, he had never seen such a rampant ...... No, he's seen it.
He had seen a more arrogant, more unreasonable, more greedy robber.
Yes, it is the powerful people who have the right to decide everything at any time. Reasoning also depends on fists, the weak have never been reasonable, and only the hypocritical mercy of the strong can be relied on.
It's just that Lan Xi doesn't seem to be the weak side, Li Xiangqing observed it very clearly, even if those crew members were coaxing, they were subconsciously protecting Lan Xi between their actions.
This kind of maintenance that is not in words is a tacit understanding, but also a kind of trust.
He once had such a tacit understanding.
Lan Xi curled the corners of his lips slightly, more mockingly, but his eyes flickered, but he said with a smile, "It is naturally a lucky thing to be the son-in-law of Captain Pro, but Lan Xi is dull and vulgar, and he is really not worthy of Miss Elizabeth. β
Li Xiangqing raised his eyebrows lightly, he really didn't expect this young boy to be so sophisticated.
This is not easy for a foreigner with a tendon.
In contrast, Prolo was obviously a little angry, and said angrily, "Lan Xi, are you sincere in going against me?"
"Of course not. Lan Xi immediately vetoed, but the smile on his face was put away, and he said seriously, "Captain Puluo, everyone is begging for food at sea, why do you have to make things difficult with me everywhere, I have a business here, you and I will do it together, I think you will be satisfied." β
Proh was visibly hesitant, not believing Lan Xi's words.
Li Xiangqing noticed that Puluo's daughter Elizabeth did not have such a stunning appearance in comparison, but she thought about it very seriously, looked at Lan Xi on the opposite side frequently, and finally pulled her father next to her to whisper before her father became angry.
Li Xiangqing smiled, looked at Lan Xi on the side, and walked over, "Really don't think about it?"
Lan Xi shook her head categorically, but instead of the kind of disgust she imagined, she was very calm, as if she had been carefully considered, "She is indeed a very smart person, but women are too smart to be interesting." β
Li Xiangqing: "......"
Looking at the young man next to him, Li Xiangqing couldn't laugh or cry, it's really different people who like different colors.
Li Xiangqing sighed, "Okay, I'm just reminding you that if the person who missed it wants to catch it back one day, it will be too late to regret it." β
Lan Xi smiled, I don't know if I understood what Li Xiangqing meant.
Naturally, that is no longer something that Li Xiangqing needs to worry about.
The moment he turned his head, he noticed that the mermaid was staring at his gaze, Li Xiangqing looked at the woman next to him, and said with a smile, "What are you looking at? β
The woman shook her head, still silent.
From the beginning, no matter what Li Xiangqing said, the woman would never answer him, but he has been better recently, and he will give him some understandable responses.
Li Xiangqing is not in a hurry, he has patience and time.
ββββ
"Are you dumb?"
"Why don't you speak?"
"Do you want tomatoes?"
"This is ice cream, for you. β
"You...... Well, this is your room, and you can rest here in the future. β
Jiang Yuanxi can finally understand DeWitt's feeling when facing himself, and he really can't say what he feels about people who refuse to open their mouths.
Speaking of this boy who is not a few years older than himself, but is obviously much taller, it can be traced back to a rainy day a week ago, when DeWitt picked up Jiang Yuanxi on the way home in the evening, he met a boy who was homeless in the rain.
DeWitt honked the horn several times, but the boy did not respond, Jiang Yuanxi was a little puzzled, and asked what was wrong.
DeWitt thought for a moment, "I'll go down and have a look, give me the umbrella." β
Jiang Yuanxi handed over the umbrella, De Witt got out of the car, walked to the boy, didn't know what to say, and took the boy to the car.
The co-pilot's position was adjusted to be very spacious, but the boy was still a little crowded sitting in that position, and Jiang Yuanxi kept his eyes open and looked at it a little confused.
When he got home, DeWitt took care of the boy's business, bathing, dressing, and dinner.
Jiang Yuanxi only asked a few questions, but the boy just looked at her and didn't say a word.
In this regard, Jiang Yuanxi can only say that feng shui takes turns, and there is nothing to complain about.
However, not talking does not mean that he does not know anything, the boy will prepare a hot meal every day when Jiang Yuanxi comes home, and even DeWitt is a little surprised.
But the boy still didn't speak, but his simple and immature face had already left a mark in Jiang Yuanxi's memory.
What Jiang Yuanxi remembered the most was that one night, when DeWitt was watching the ball game, even Jiang Yuanxi sat on the sofa with a pizza in his hand, and only the boy was still sitting at the table obediently, eating quietly.
Jiang Yuanxi noticed this scene and kicked DeWitt opposite, who followed her gaze and saw the boy at the table.
De Witt thought about it, stood up and walked over, sat next to the boy, and didn't say anything, but invisibly Jiang Yuanxi also felt a kind of warmth.
This warmth has nothing to do with the temperature of the human body, but what people do, although it cannot be touched, it is enough to warm people's hearts.
When DeWitt sent the boy back to the room to rest, Jiang Yuanxi had just pushed the door open, and he heard a particularly slight voice from the side, "Thank you." β
Jiang Yuanxi glanced up, smiled and turned around and entered the room.
DeWitt looked at the boy in front of him and smiled softly, "I'm glad you're finally willing to speak." β
The boy was a little shy and timid, completely inconsistent with his big man, but he was still a child in front of DeWitt, and rubbing the boy's flat hair, DeWitt said,
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
The boy looked at the man in front of him, he looked very young, but he was very mature and stable, and more importantly, the boy felt the warmth and love from these two people who were not good at words.
"I ...... Nothing, I just want to go home...... Go...... Look at my mom. β
DeWitt's eyes were gentle, and he didn't have the anger that the boy expected, but said gently, "I've been asking the people from the police station to help me find it, but I haven't found your family, since you said you want to go home, send Yuanxi to school tomorrow, and I'll send you home again, do you think it's okay?"
The boy nodded, his eyes full of emotion and gratitude, "Thank you, thank you." β
DeWitt smiled, "Alright, now we can go to sleep." β
"Hmm. β
The doors were shut, the lights went out, and the courtyard deep in the forest was at peace.
