Chapter 116: The Mysterious Rich
Next to a high-end apartment, a middle-aged man with sunglasses on his face and a briefcase in his hand walked out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info His outfit matches the high-end apartment behind him very well, giving him the feeling of a successful person. Pedestrians coming and going couldn't help but turn their heads to look at his back, because in addition to his outfit, the car that came to pick him up was even more amazing, a luxurious elongated Lincoln.
After the middle-aged man got into the Lincoln car, he quickly dusted off the streets, leaving a look of envy and jealousy. This man is none other than the leader in the detective world, the famous Detective Liu.
This time, he was going to pick up a new business. Originally, with his status in the detective world, few customers were able to let him take orders in person. Most of them are approached by the client on their own initiative, or his secretary signs the agreement on his behalf. But this time, this customer is very special.
Just as he got into the car, the white-gloved driver personally opened the door for him and put his palms under the roof to prevent the guests from accidentally hitting their heads. This kind of well-trained reception etiquette is definitely not something that ordinary rich people can cultivate.
"Mr. Liu, there is '82 Lafite in the car, and I've opened it for you in advance, and if you don't like red wine, there's Rémy Martin and Napoleon. After getting in the car, the driver introduced him kindly.
Detective Liu swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, although he made a lot of money as a detective, he had not yet lived a life where he could casually drink luxury wine like Lafite Remy Martin, and secretly weighed in his heart what kind of identity the guest he was about to see.
Detective Liu poured himself a glass of red wine, and before he could enter his mouth, he smelled the rich fruity aroma from the wine glass, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Mr. Liu, our drive will take about an hour, if you need to, you can lie down and rest, and I will call you when you get to the destination. The driver said another word as he drove.
Detective Liu smiled and nodded, but still sat in his place, sipping the red wine in his hand. He knew very well in his heart that he might not be able to encounter this kind of luxury in his life a few times at the moment, how could he let himself sleep all the way, of course, he had to do his best to enjoy it, and any Rémy Martin Napoleon had to taste it all over.
The Lincoln sedan gradually drove out of the downtown area and came to a place that was still bustling, but could be quiet. There are no high-rise buildings around, but villas or independent manors as far as the eye can see, and the wide roads are full of high-end cars. Detective Liu stared at it for a long time, but he didn't find that there was a car that cost less than one million.
Detective Liu was really an eye-opener, and he used to think that he could buy a high-end apartment in the city center, which was equivalent to half a successful person. But compared to the rich area in front of him, he is not even as good as an ant.
Detective Liu looked at the luxurious scenes around him like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It is a circular land with green hills in the background, surrounded by the sea, with several golf courses and several buildings that look like concert halls or art galleries.
However, none of these buildings are marked with specific names, and they are obviously only open to this wealthy area. The extended Lincoln drove to a halt in front of a manor house facing the sea, which had the best view of all the buildings looking at the sea. It can be seen that even among the rich, that guest is still one of the best.
After the Lincoln car whistled, the gate of the manor automatically opened, and Detective Liu saw a splendid building. Its exterior glows in the sunlight and seems to be covered with gold leaf, and the overall architectural style is like an ancient imperial palace. On the huge doorpost, the dragon is carved and the phoenix is painted, the momentum is majestic and lifelike.
The sedan stopped in front of the building, and Detective Liu followed the driver's guidance through the palace-like hall to the more elaborately furnished reception room.
The driver motioned to Detective Liu to sit on the sofa first and wait, he was going inside to ask the master. Detective Liu looked around and found that this reception room was also decorated in an antique manner, and the coffee table and tea set looked to be made of some kind of jadeite, and the whole body was turquoise, and the shapes were all ingenious. He looked down at the soles of his feet again, and was even more shocked that his jaw almost fell out, the tiled white ground without a trace of gaps was not a high-end tile at all, but a huge piece of white jade cut out.
Detective Liu began to fidget a little, he had never seen a rich man with such luxury in his home, even if he was the richest man in China, he had never heard that the tiles in his house were made of white jade.
Just when Detective Liu was amazed, a housekeeper came to the door of the reception room and he supported an old man, who was bent on his back and couldn't see his real height, but he looked very thin next to the housekeeper.
The old man had two long white whiskers on his face, and it was unknown how long he had grown to grow such a long beard. However, the old man's face looked ruddy and full, and he did not look old at all.
"Hello," Detective Liu stood up from the couch and stretched out his right hand, trying to shake hands politely. Apparently the bearded old man was the owner of the manor.
However, the other party went straight to another position and sat down, without any intention of shaking hands with him, which made Detective Liu's face feel embarrassed.
The old man sat down and asked, "You are the number one detective in this city?"
Although the other party didn't give him face, and even the tone of the question was obviously suspicious, Detective Liu couldn't get angry at all in front of such a person, "Yes!" Detective Liu replied very affirmatively.
The old man sighed, "Okay, I want you to help me find someone, can you find it?"
Detective Liu patted his chest and said, "As long as it's in this city, there's no one I can't find." Do you have a picture of it or basic information?"
"Picture?" said the old man in surprise, "I don't have anything like that, but I can draw her." ”
After the old man finished speaking, without waiting for his instructions, the butler brought him a blank piece of paper and a brush.
Detective Liu was a little surprised, even if there are no photos, there are still people using brushes these days? But seeing that the old man had already been dipped in ink and began to draw, Detective Liu had to sit back on the sofa and wait patiently.
After about five minutes, the old man's brush stopped and motioned for the butler to hand over the blank paper.
Detective Liu sat up straight, he didn't expect much from this portrait, maybe the picture was not the right one, and it didn't help to find someone at all. But since the other party has drawn it, he can only pretend to look at it.
The butler held the white paper in his hand in both hands, looking very careful, as if he was holding something extremely precious. When he walked in front of Detective Liu, he pinched the two corners of the white paper in his hand, and the whole portrait was stretched out in front of Detective Liu.
Detective Liu casually glanced at it, the pupils of his eyes contracted instantly, and the effect of that portrait was far beyond his expectations, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it in four words.
The most important thing is that Detective Liu discovers that he knows this girl who only has the upper body drawn, and her name seems to be called, Anna!
