Chapter 199: Shaw's Villa
Xiao Wanbai in the photo is fresh and lovely, just like her name, which makes people feel a little more pity for her, and her snow-white and beautiful skin makes people want to touch it, but they don't dare.
When I arrived at the place, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and I was really shocked by the villa in front of me.
The whole villa sits in the north and faces south, it can be said that it is sitting on Jinluan, Napanlong, the town pagoda, the cornucopia, it is a piece of paradise with high and hard backing, broad prospects, prominent position, wide collection of financial resources, and eternal security, from some points of view, it can be regarded as a rare treasure land.
There are two stone lions on either side of the crimson gate, which are interesting.
The usual stone lion is generally a sitting lion and a standing lion, with a majestic demeanor, as if it can deter the demons of the ten directions.
However, this is not the case with the stone lions on both sides of the Xiao Gate, and the stone lions of their family are a sitting lion and a reclining lion respectively.
I can understand this sitting lion, but I don't know the meaning of this lying lion.
There are also two bronze lion heads hanging on the gate, and the sun shines on the two bronze lion heads like gold, showing the owner's uniqueness everywhere.
I smiled bitterly and said, "What a rich man, there are four lion heads." ”
I walked to the door, rang the doorbell, and it wasn't long before an old man in a brown robe came out.
"Who's the gentleman looking for?"
Lao Suo's face was wrinkled, and he looked at me at sixty years old, and he was looking at me very politely at this time.
I handed him the invitation letter and said, "I was invited by your Master Xiao, is Master Xiao at home?" ”
Lao Su took the invitation letter, opened it and looked at it, his face was full of shock, "Oh, you are the detective that the old man said, come, come in quickly, it's cold outside, the room is warm." ”
"Detective?"
Before I could react, Lao Su had already pulled me in.
"I'm the housekeeper here, if you have anything to do, even if you greet me, you haven't asked your gentleman for your surname?"
I said in my heart that this big family is different, and the words are polite, and it makes people feel comfortable to listen to.
I hurriedly responded: "The old man is polite, I don't want to be surnamed Li." ”
"Mr. Li go slowly, I'll tell the master."
After the butler finished speaking, he walked quickly towards the gate of the villa.
I stopped and observed the scene in the courtyard.
The courtyard is wide and bright, full of blooming flowers and verdant trees, there is a towering evergreen on the right side of the yard, and there is a dim and simple and elegant square wood-framed glass lamp after a few steps, giving people a sense of age.
After a while, a man and a woman came out of the villa.
When the man saw me coming, he was a little strange at first, but he quickly regained his demeanor, walked up to me, looked at me, and said, "You said that the person sent by the director of the Red Eagle?" ”
I said, "Yes, you must be the famous Xiao Zhen and Patriarch Xiao." ”
Xiao Zhenhe is over 50 years old this year, and he is the heir of the 136th generation of the Xiao family.
Xiao Zhen and the noble woman behind him were dignified, and at first glance they were people who knew how to count etiquette.
The woman smiled at me, and then said to Xiao Zhenhe, "Master, why don't you come in and talk slowly, I'll go and prepare hot tea for the guests." ”
Xiao Zhenhe suddenly realized: "Look at me, I forgot even about business, come on, sit in the little brother." ”
"Master Xiao, please."
After some politeness, I followed Xiao Zhenhe into the villa of the Xiao family.
Walking into Xiao's villa, the scene in front of me opened my eyes again.
As far as the eye can see, the hall is extremely luxurious, with intricate illuminations glowing coldly, and the high walls on all sides cast dark shadows on the soft carpets.
The famous paintings and celebrities on both sides of the wall made my eyes glow, and the design of the inner room was needless to say, and the most eye-catching was the spiral staircase leading to the zenith.
From the time I arrived outside the door of the Xiao family, to the courtyard and the hall, everything I saw in front of me was enough to prove that the Xiao family's status in Australia and its financial resources were abundant.
"Come on, little brother sit here."
Xiao Zhenhe beckoned me to sit down on the sofa next to him.
I was fascinated by the grandeur of the Xiao family, and after sitting on the sofa, I only felt like I had fallen into a pit.
I was a little surprised and said, "I'll go, so soft." ”
Xiao Zhenhe said: "Little brother, don't be surprised, I don't know what to call it." ”
I said, "Master Xiao is polite, just call me Li Yunzhe." ”
"Li Yunzhe." As soon as Xiao Zhenhe heard my name, it was as if he had heard something wonderful.
After a while, Xiao Zhenhe seemed to understand, and said lightly: "Yun Zhe, there is a sense of climbing high and looking far, it seems that your father is not an ordinary person." ”
I said in my heart that this Xiao Zhen and the heirloom were lost, and he was still dragging the text with me here, which looked like he was in a hurry when he lost something.
But when Xiao Zhenhe mentioned my father, I couldn't say that I was bored.
I said, "I grew up with my grandfather, father, I haven't seen him." ”
"And your mother..."
"Mother is dead, Master Xiao, let's talk about the case." I was a little impatient in my tone, but I still had a smile on my face, and I said that if you are asking, don't blame me for being rude.
Xiao Zhenhe also seemed to understand the meaning of my words and was about to explain.
Mrs. Xiao walked out from the back of the living room with a pot of tea and two cups in her hand.
Mrs. Xiao said to me while pouring tea and tea sets: "Yun Zhe, you are not very old, I heard from Red Eagle that you are the team leader of the office. ”
I reminded: "War Department." ”
"Yes, yes, the War Department, it's not easy to do so much at a young age." Mrs. Xiao handed me a cup of tea at this time.
I took the tea, took a sip and said, "Mrs. Xiao's tea skills are not bad." ”
Xiao Zhenhe said: "Huizhen, go and call Xuanping and Wanbai to come down, and inform Zhenxin and Zhengong to come over for dinner in the evening to wash the dust for Yun Zhe." ”
"Yes, sir."
When Mrs. Xiao had finished speaking, she went upstairs and called her two children to go.
I'm really not used to it, obviously I'm here to solve the case, but I've become a guest.
I hurriedly said, "Master Xiao, let's talk about the case first." ”
Xiao Zhenhe raised his hand and interrupted me and said, "Don't worry, the case will be slowly solved tomorrow, and it's not too late to start tomorrow when you have enough spirits." ”
I was a little surprised in my heart, and said in agreement: "That's okay, Master Xiao arranged." ”
I thought to myself, this Xiao Zhen is not right, obviously he lost something at home, he didn't look for it first, but what else did he have to eat, I was an outsider who was worried about him, but he looked indifferent.
Could it be that this treasure passed down from the ancestors doesn't care anymore? Aren't all rich people who love face?
It seems that there is something wrong with this case.
I have doubts in my heart, and of course I don't want to ask.
Thinking of this, I didn't worry about it, so let's take a look at what medicine this old guy sells in his gourd.
At this time, a young man in a suit and leather shoes came down from the upper floor.
This person is extremely good-looking and good-looking.
What caught the eye was his striking and clear dark brown eyes, like the purest amber, always revealing a childlike innocence, and a smile as bright as the sun on his handsome face.
This person walked up to Xiao Zhenhe and said very respectfully: "Father, mother said that you have something to say, I don't know what is going on?" ”
Xiao Zhenhe said: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is Officer Li from the Strange Detective Agency from Huaxia, and he came here to help us recover the gentian this time." ”
Then he said to me, "Officer Li, this is Inuzi Xuanping." ”
