The first case of Bill's Curse Volume 5
Ten Hagrid and Joey
"Mr. Hagrid, can I ask you two personal questions?" Tang Peng suddenly asked Hagrid.
Hagrid thought for a moment and replied:
"Excuse me!"
"When did your butler's wife die?"
"Ahh How do you know his wife is dead? Hagrid looked at Tang Peng in surprise.
Tang Peng lifted his glasses and replied calmly: "I noticed that he would take off the red diamond ring on his hand every time he ate (probably because he was afraid that the food would get dirty) and often wiped it with a hand towel, which shows that he attaches great importance to this diamond ring, and it can be judged from the fingers of his ring that it is a wedding ring, judging from the age of the housekeeper and the interior decoration of this house, he is obviously not indulging in a new marriage, so you can boldly conclude that his wife has died!" That diamond ring is the butler's longing for his wife! โ
Hagrid couldn't help but applaud after hearing this, and at this moment he admired the genius detective in front of him even more, and exclaimed:
"Wow! You're amazing! I'm even more convinced that I didn't choose the wrong person - you're right, the butler's wife took the diamond ring very seriously after she died, and he almost killed himself when he accidentally lost it last time! Hehe! Finally, it was found in the 'Diamond Dust' food bowl......"
Tang Peng seemed to think of something, opened his mouth to ask, but stopped, just held his chin with his index finger, and thought quietly, Hagrid saw this, he didn't want to disturb Tang Peng, and he also stopped talking, the living room seemed a little dull, and after a while, Hagrid couldn't help but ask:
"Excuse me, what's the second question you're going to ask me?"
"Oh!" Tang Peng came back to his senses and continued to ask, "Can you tell me about the relationship between you and Mr. Joy?" โ
Hagrid didn't expect Tang Peng to ask this, it seemed a little unnatural, hesitated for a while, and then said slowly:
"Cousin Joey is six years older than me, we have played together since we were children, and we used to have a good relationship, but since I became sensible, I have started to be jealous of him! Because ......"
"Because your father was very kind to Mr. Joy, and even had some favoritism."
"Yes." Hagrid nodded, smiling and asked, "How did you deduce this time?" โ
โ...... This is what I heard at the banquet......"
โ...... Actually, this is also how it should be, Cousin Joy is a good person and has strong abilities! He had long been his father's right-hand man in the group, and I ......" Joey felt a little sad.
"I think it's probably because of his age, he thinks you're too young, but in fact, his successor is always you - after all, the heir written in his final will is you (which I also heard at the banquet)." Tang Peng comforted.
"Maybe!" Hagrid's expression suddenly became a little complicated, "It is precisely because this Cousin Joey seems to be hiding more and more things from me, like this time, he actually invited Mr. Wang Yu over without my consent - you must know that our group and the 'Yuhuan Group' are currently in a state of fire and water!" Hag paused and said with a wry smile, "You say my father handed over the group to me?" - Actually, it's Joey who he really identifies! If it weren't for the fact that they have been quarreling for some reason recently, the position of this heir is estimated to be ......"
"Wait! ...... You said your father had been fighting with Joey a while ago? Tang Peng asked suddenly, as if he had found something.
"Yes! ...... A few times I've seen my father and Cousin Joey arguing so much in the office that no one dared to go inside and argue โ what's the problem? โ
"Wellโ" Tang Peng thought for a while and said, "Not for the time being!" After saying that, he fell into deep thought, and the room seemed a little dull, and Hagrid, apparently not very fond of this atmosphere, asked softly:
"Any questions? Mr. Tang Peng! โ
"Huh?!" Tang Peng seemed to be woken up, thought for a while, and asked mysteriously:
"May I ask if you really lack servants here?"
โ......โ
Eleven butler's greenhouse
At this moment, Cheng Shuai was visiting the housekeeper's personal greenhouse, and the moment Cheng Shuai stepped into this greenhouse, the whole person was stunned - where is this greenhouse, it is simply a small jungle! The difference is that there are no animals here, all of them are extremely precious and exotic plants, and there are many varieties, which is simply a beautiful landscape painting that is difficult to find in the world! Cheng Shuai's whole body froze there, unable to believe his eyes, and the housekeeper was proudly ready to introduce Cheng Shuai to the various plants here.
"Wow! Isn't this a beauty tree! This is the sacred tree of the 'Lingmeng Clan', and many scientists don't even believe in its existence - huh? Silver fir is also available here? Sky! And Biqing grass! There are also ......" Cheng Shuai looked around in surprise and explained alone.
The housekeeper on the side seemed to be surprised that Cheng Shuai knew so many plants here, and couldn't help but praise:
"It's amazing! I can't believe you know so many plants! (Many of the plants here are not listed in the botanical book, and even experts may not be able to name them)"
"Hum ham ha-hey, hey!" Cheng Shuai's signature arrogant laugh showed off again, and suddenly posed again, pretending to be handsome and said, "For me, a knowledgeable genius - this, it's nothing, haha......" After speaking, he laughed again.
โ...... Do you also like to study rare plants? โ
"Haha...... Yes? Study? Cheng Shuai came back to his senses, scratched the back of his head, and said with a smirk, "It's not about research, it's just that when I accompanied my perverted master to practice martial arts in the mountains, he saw a lot of these plants in his so-called secret gardenโhe likes to collect and study these very much, and it is said that he spent half his life collecting those plants!" - I suspect he might have robbed the bank to buy some plants! With his perverted and twisted personality, it's entirely possible - shit! Five years! Lao Tzu actually stayed with him in the mountains for five years! It's a miracle of survival! Fortunately, I have a junior sister with me (more balanced in my heart)......"
While listening, the housekeeper laughed from time to time, and then unconsciously opened the conversation box and chatted with this living treasure, the two nodded sometimes and laughed, and they had become friends for the year......
"By the way, you should know that I didn't have a good impression of you at first, and I didn't like you two, why did you not hate me, and you still chatted so vigorously with me, an old man of power?" The housekeeper suddenly asked Cheng Shuai.
"Huh? Actually, I also saw that you were very unhappy - but I know that you are so dedicated, you don't even want to remarry for the sake of your wife who has been dead for many years, and you want to make a friend like an uncle! โ
"You, how do you know this?!" The housekeeper looked at Cheng Shuai in surprise, and remembered that his deceased wife felt a little sore, "Have you investigated me?" โ
"Investigate you? - Nothing! Cheng Shuai made a gesture that reassured the housekeeper, took a breath, and suddenly said seriously, "From the wedding ring on your hand, you can know that you have a wife, and the daily necessities in the entire house are single, indicating that your wife does not live here or ...... She died, and you can tell from the look on her hand that she is dead! And the photo of you and your wife seen in your bedroom, judging from the age of the person in the photo and the age of the frame, you can know that it has been placed there a long time ago, and it has not been changed, indicating that she has passed away for a long time and you have not remarried, and there are no things or traces of your children in your house, not even a family photo! Combine that with the fact that your wife has been dead for a long time, and it is easy to conclude that you have no children. And the reason for saying that you have a good heart is very simple, you have a lot of praise flags from the 'Rescue Society' in your room! - Whew" Cheng Shuai exhaled, and then laughed arrogantly, "Lao Tzu really deserves to be a genius!" Ha ha! โ
The housekeeper was completely impressed by Cheng Shuai's reasoning, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the young detective in surprise, and Cheng Shuai was in self-absorption, and suddenly he found some weed-like things growing in this greenhouse, and felt familiar, so he kept staring. The housekeeper noticed Cheng Shuai's actions and asked in a low voice:
"What are you looking at?"
"Huh?! Nothingโby the way, uncle, may I ask you a question? Cheng Shuai turned his head and asked.
"Yes! Just ask whatever you want! The housekeeper fully agreed with Cheng Shuai at this moment and readily agreed.
"You seemed angry when you saw Wang Yu at the banquet, can you tell me why?" Cheng Shuai suddenly became a little serious.
The housekeeper's body trembled violently, looked at Cheng Shuai in surprise, then lowered his head, hesitated, sighed lightly, raised his head and said slowly:
"That might be my personal speculation - I suspect that Wang Yu killed the master!" ......
