At 8:20 a.m. on September 6, the crisp sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of the wheels of a carriage against the edge stones on the street was heard, and then someone began to ring the doorbell.

The cat who was leaning on the armchair put down the coffee in his hand: "It sounds like a two-wheeled carriage." He craned his neck and looked out the window: "Hmm...... A very lovely little carriage, and a pair of beautiful pure **, each worth at least one hundred and fifty quinis, it seems that we have a very wealthy client in our first case here. ”

Wang Xu was bored playing poker on the side: "How do you know it's the client?" Didn't you say yesterday that until a certain relationship is established in the circle of private detectives, there may not be business coming to you for a month? ”

The cat didn't bother to explain how to deduce the fact that the other party was the client, and it was the same anyway, because the landlord, Mrs. Halderson, had already come to the door, and after a brief knock she walked in, holding a tray with a business card on it.

This sudden visit apparently displeased Mrs. Halderson, and she said, "There's a gentleman downstairs who wants to see you." ”

The cat master replied: "Please ask him to come up." ”

Two minutes later, the sound of slow, heavy footsteps sounded on the stairs from the stairs to the aisle, and finally stopped at the doorway.

A tall man walked in, really tall, at least no less than six feet six inches, with a broad chest and powerful limbs. His clothes are gorgeous, and can even be described as magnificent.

The double-breasted blouse had a lambskin trim at the slits, a dark blue scarlet silk lining the shoulders, and a flame-shaped pin pinned to the neckline, and a small emerald in it.

In addition, he wears a pair of calf-high leather boots, and the cuff of the boots is inlaid with dark brown fur, which directly gives people the impression of a rough and luxurious appearance.

"Which one is Mr. Logan?" He looked at the cat master and Wang Xu with inquiring eyes.

The cat said: "I am, this is my assistant Mr. Atkinson." (The pseudonym used in Wang's passport is Rowan Atkinson because it's his favorite British comedian...... ）

"You ...... Is it Chinese? The surprise on his face was hard to hide, you know...... In these years, the chances of meeting Chinese in London are almost zero, and these two still do not have braids.

"I don't think it will make a difference to what we're going to talk about next, at least I think my English is pretty good."

The man glanced at Wang Xu again: "Mr. Logan, I hope your assistant is a decent young man and acts very prudently, otherwise I would rather talk to you alone." ”

Wang Xu thought to himself: I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing the goods, maybe I will be put in the pile of people, which is not decent, let alone prudent, but I will stand next to the cat master, and that consciousness ...... That level......

The cat master didn't know that Wang Xu was dismissing him in his heart, and he replied without thinking: "You can rest assured that in my business, especially in the matter of keeping the client's private information confidential, I have done the best job, and Mr. Atkinson is like my Bauswell (the right-hand man of the famous British writer Johnson), he has a very professional professional ethics." ”

The man pondered again before he spoke, "Okay then...... First of all, I must make it clear that the dignitary who sent me is not willing to reveal his true identity, so please do not ask ......."

Master Mao directly interrupted him: "This nonsense will only take up my precious time, you answer me a question first, who are you?" ”

Wang Xu sat next to him and listened a little stunned, the few words he said just now were still like human words, why did he change his attitude all of a sudden?

The man's expression changed visibly, and sweat was oozing from his palms: "What do you mean, I should have already sent my business card, I am Count von Kram......"

Before he could finish the sentence, the cat snapped his fingers as if by magic, and then the business card appeared in his hand, and then he threw it into the fireplace with a flick of his hand.

"Oops...... I accidentally burned it, and I haven't had time to see it......"

The client's old man's gaze followed the flight path of the business card to the fireplace, and he clearly saw that the business card had been inserted into the stone on the edge of the fireplace...... Then slowly dissolve to ashes.

The cat master stood up, walked over and patted the old man's shoulder: "This business card is too new, it was just printed today, I have no interest in a fake name." ”

For the correctness of this reasoning, Wang Xu did not doubt it at all, just a few days ago the cat master also talked to him about the production skills and identification methods of various fake documents, etc., using their fake passports as an example, and also told a story, in general, how he relied on his excellent reasoning to find the local counterfeiting professional in London, and helped and guided it, so that its business level rose to a great level, and people admired it so much that they were embarrassed to ask him for money......

Getting back to business, the client's brother stood up suddenly, uncontrollable with excitement, he paced back and forth in the room quickly, and after a minute or so of fierce ideological struggle, finally sat down again in a gesture of almost despair: "Mr. Logan, you are much more powerful than I thought...... If something offends you just now, don't mind. ”

The cat master also sat down again and resumed his polite attitude: "Of course I don't mind, then...... Please answer my previous question so that I can serve you better. ”

"Okay...... My real name is Georges Gervais Gismond von Elsstein. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of the cat master's mouth: "Hehe...... Are members of the royal family......"

Elstein replied, "Ah...... Long gone, in the last century, my family was banished for a profligate and extravagant person, and by the time of the regency, my grandfather was left with an old ancestral mansion and a few acres of barren land, and he drank all year round and lived a lonely life as a grandson.

But my father changed everything, he borrowed money from some relatives to get a medical degree, and later went to Calcutta to practice medicine, and with his medical skills and natural tenacity, he married my mother when he was in India, and my grandfather, a major general in the Bengal Artillery Regiment, died early of tropical disease, so my father married and took my mother back to England to change business.

In fact, his talent for running a business seems to have been even more remarkable, and by my boyhood our family had become one of the wealthiest families in England, with estates extending beyond the boundaries of the county, as far north as Berkshire and as far west as Hampshire.

I may think that I am wordy, but I just want to make it clear that my father takes my character very seriously, and he doesn't want me to repeat what my ancestors did to losers, so if I do something that is intolerable to him, he will even disqualify me from inheritance. ”

Master Mao smiled and said, "So...... Your commission must be related to a certain lady. ”

"Yes," sighed, "and so it is, a few years ago I had a relationship with a lady named Erin Jones, and she was so beautiful that all the other women paled in comparison to her, and all the men who had seen her fell under her pomegranate dress, and of course I was no exception. ”

Mao Ye interjected: "You don't have to tell me about your love history with her, I don't think you want to reveal too much privacy, just tell me what you need me to do." ”

"It's been a while since we parted," replied Elstein, "but I still have something in her place that is very detrimental to my inheritance, an envelope, and I have tried many ways to negotiate with her, but she just refuses to return it, and then I even hired someone to go to her house to steal, but I searched her house three times and still couldn't find it." ”

Master Mao asked, "Oh...... That's right...... Let me ask a few questions, first, have you ever been married in secret? ”

"Nope."

"Then there shouldn't be any legal documents to prove your relationship, right?"

"Nope."

"I don't understand, if it's just a couple of inappropriately worded love letters, how can she prove that things aren't forged? You must know that with your status and worth, there will never be a small number of people who want to forge something to blackmail you. ”

"That's my notes."

"Phew! Copying! ”

"I use personal letterhead."

"Stole."

"The letter has my own seal."

"Copycats."

"And my photo ......"

"Find someone to follow and take pictures."

"It's me taking a photo with her......"

"Cut...... PS. ”

"What do you say......"

"Hmm...... Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, etc...... Group photo...... Could it be...... That kind of ......" Cat Ye's eyes suddenly became very ambiguous.

Wang Xu ignored them from just now, and played poker next to him, and he complained with his Chinese at this time: "If you have a chance, you should introduce him to Brother Guanxi to know ......."

"You should understand by now," said Elstein, "this matter has a great impact on me, and I would like to ask you to guess where she hid her things through the detective's method, and as for how to get it, I can find someone else to do it." ”

The cat master sneered: "You must have deigned to go to a very dirty tavern and asked the bartender who the most unqualified and unknown detective in London was, and then found me here, right?" ”

"Yes......" he could only admit.

"You are pretending to be an emissary, as if you are asking for help on behalf of your boss or friend, no doubt intending that when things work out, we will remain ignorant of our true customers, so that there is no danger of leaks."

"That's right." He continued to nod.

Mao Ye took a sip of coffee: "You are very lucky, sir, because you ran into us, if you find someone who can't even see through the above things to help you, you will only end up failing." ”

Elsstein wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "So, Mr. Logan, did you take this commission?" ”

Master Mao said: "Of course, but in terms of remuneration, I don't want money, I want you to help me do something." ”

Elsstein thought for a moment, "What is it?" ”

"Huh...... Don't be nervous, it's just a gesture for you. ”
