Chapter 5: The Commoners and the Aristocrats
Xiang Chen Liuling pondered while making notes, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he unconsciously bit the pen.
There was silence in the carriage, save for the regular sound of the train moving forward. Blank silently glanced at Xiang Chen Liuling and Rose, standing up straight, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Blank took out another pen from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Xiang Chen Liuling. Xiang Chen Liuling came back to her senses and took a look, and found that the pen in her hand was about to be gnawed bald by her.
Smiling awkwardly, Xiang Chen Liuling took a new pen handed over by Blank, and Blank took the initiative to take the bald pen in her hand.
Xiang Chen Liuling coughed dryly, looked at Rose and said, "By the way, you said that you have the ability to never forget, so can you describe the face of that corpse in detail?" What you saw at the time, don't miss any of the small links. As he spoke, he flipped out a blank page of paper, posed as a painter, and stared at Rose seriously.
Rose glanced at Blank, rolled her eyes and thought for a moment and said, "It was really scary, I, I, I'm not sure if I can explain it clearly. ”
"It's okay, don't be afraid, remember to say as much as you want." Xiang Chen Liuling said softly.
"Okay, I, I think about it. Well...... The man was a man, he wore a white shirt and a black tuxedo, the bow tie around his neck was loose, and most of the white shirt was red with blood. A pair of black leather shoes and white socks on his feet, the shoes are polished, and that one looks very valuable.
I don't have any good things, but I've been hired by rich people, so I've seen a lot. The man's cufflinks were golden, and there were patterns on them, and they were ivy wrapped around a shield, like a family coat of arms, and I don't know if it was from which family.
And also...... Oh, and he wears a gold ring on his left ring finger and a gold chain on his chest, a bit like the chain of a pocket watch. ”
Rosezai said carefully, Xiang Chen Liuling recorded meticulously, and her frowning brows were like a rope tied in a dead knot, and she never let go.
"So, what about that man?" Xiang Chen Liuling asked.
"Well, that guy was slumped on the bed across from me with his head facing the window. He has gray hair, but his face looks young, his skin is quite fair, his lips are a little thin, and there is a mole under his eyes, in short, he looks quite handsome. Rose said, a look of pity on her face.
Xiang Chen Liuling lowered her head and quickly drew on the blank paper, because she had to draw on the shaking train, she put down her pen decisively and quickly, and the pencil and paper rubbed into the sound of "shua-shua". Blanc remained motionless and maintained a straight posture, looking at Xiang Chen Liuling's gaze with curiosity.
After a while, Xiang Chen Liuling placed the painting he had drawn in front of Rose and asked her to identify whether her painting looked like the deceased.
Rose stared at it seriously, pointed again, made some modifications, and then said firmly: "That's right, it's him!" That's the man! ”
"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation, there is nothing more to ask you for the time being. If you have something in mind, please feel free to contact us. Xiang Chen Liuling closed the folder, got up to thank him, and sent Rose out of the carriage.
Blank closed the door behind Rose, walked over to Xiang Chen Liuling, and asked, "Miss, do you have any other orders?" ”
"Well, can you find a way to help me check the person on this portrait and the coat of arms on this cuff?" Xiang Chen Liuling said and handed the painting he had just drawn according to Rose's description to Blank.
Blank took the paper with both hands and looked at it curiously, "Okay, no problem." Do you have any other commands? ”
"Then, please go and invite the passengers next to Rose's carriage to come over, remember, I only saw one at a time." Xiang Chen Liuling poked his temple with one hand, tilted his head and commanded softly.
Blank answered, and withdrew with the portrait. After a while, he led a burly middle-aged man in.
"I'm Baron Björk." The man raised his chin and squinted at Xiang Chen Liuling arrogantly, as if waiting for someone to salute him.
Xiang Chen Liuling didn't notice his gaze, let alone his tone, just buried his head in the information, and said lightly, "Please take a seat." ”
Baron Bjork felt that he was being slighted, and with a look of displeasure on his face, he said angrily: "Do you know who I am!? ”
"Baron Björk, you may be seated." Blanc came to Björk's side, smiling politely, but glared at him with cold eyes, and forced him to the bed and sat down.
Baron Björk's obese face twitched, and even his brown beard, with its rich, upturned beard, trembled exaggeratedly.
"Miss's question, please answer it truthfully." Blank's tone was as cold as his eyes, and Björk nodded involuntarily, with a slight hint of cringe in his eyes.
Xiang Chen Liuling didn't notice this process at all, and when he raised his head, he saw Baron Björk who was smiling flatteringly at him, and his heart trembled, and he said secretly: Ouch, laughing so obscenely, is it a strange Shu Xiao!?
"What time did you go to the food truck last night?" Ever noticed when that blonde Miss Rose left? ”
"The young lady lives right next door to us, and I travel with my wife. When I was in the dining car, she always threw winks at me, which made my wife very unhappy. That untouchable, although he is dressed like a high-class person, the lowly taste in his bones is really unbearable. Baron Björk said, fanning his nose with his hand exaggeratedly, as if the smell of Rose was still in front of him, and his face was full of arrogance and disdain.
Xiang Chen Liuling frowned, his disgust for the Baron Björk in front of him suddenly rose, he had seen a hated person, but he had never seen such a nasty person! Slammed the table: "I can't stand your smell either!" Getting to the point! Answer my question! ”
The arrogant Baron Björk was so fierce by her that he was stunned for a moment and just wanted to have a seizure, but he heard a warning cough from Blank, and trembled a few times:
"Hmm...... We played cards for a while with Mr. Duck next door after four o'clock in the afternoon, and then about six o'clock we went to the dining car, where the blonde lady was already there. After eating, we drank a little wine together for a while, and when we left the dining car, it was already past eight o'clock, and we didn't see the young lady you said at that time. I don't know exactly when she left. ”
"Thank you for your cooperation." Xiang Chen Liuling said coldly.
Baron Björk was very dissatisfied with being treated like this, but he dared not speak out in anger, and left the carriage with a disgraced face.
How good is this Xiang family? Why can even a butler's glare make a baron honest? And, what is the origin of this butler? Usually even if it is a fox and a fake tiger, it is also to watch people put down dishes, and even if they do not grovel to the nobles, they will not confront them in person, let alone threaten. That kind of tactfulness, accident and servant consciousness can't be pretended.。。
However, in Blanc, who claims to be a butler and assistant, there is no such servile spirit at all, but like a noble son of an ancient family, after hundreds of years of precipitation, that kind of elegance and bearing are rooted in the blood and bones, and no one can disguise it. Who is he? How can you be willing to be a housekeeper for others? As an assistant?
