"Didn't you pay attention to the layout in this villa?"

Glancing at Levine, who looked surprised, Ma Wei explained: "From this villa to Sean Rickman sitting in the living room, and Donnie, the old butler, every clue is revealed, but if you pay close attention, you can find clues." ”

"All my attention is on the maid at the door... Don't be in a hurry to curse, I'm afraid of some weapon hidden under their long skirts, you know it's scary. ”

"Whew..."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief and let the gradually rising blood pressure return to normal values.

"Boss, you haven't told me yet, why can you see the identity of Sean Gentleman!"

"To make inferences, you first have to understand the other person." "Before coming to Wexford City, we investigated the information about Sean Rickman, and learned that their family was engaged in maritime trade, and from two hundred years ago to the present, it was the golden age of maritime trade, and the Rickman family made a lot of money. ”

"Their family is not short of money, and the fact that they can build such a castle-like villa in Wexford City shows their financial strength."

"But what's really suspicious is that the walls of this villa are covered with moss, and even the iron doors are a little rusty."

"You can't deduce Sean Rickman's identity based on this alone!"

Levine wondered: "This can only mean that he doesn't take care of this villa very well, which leads to some desertion." ”

"That's the problem."

Walking up the stairs, Ma Wei stopped in front of the door on the far left side of the second floor, he knocked on the door, and after hearing no response, pushed the door and entered.

It looks like a light room for drying clothes, facing the sea and you can see the waves crashing and the sunset tides.

"Sean Rickman's family is definitely not in decline, and to this day they are still the largest marine trading company in Wexford County..."

Pushing open the window, Ma Wei stretched out his head, observed the environment at the back of the villa, and after making sure that there were no Tibetans, he turned around and said, "Let me ask, why would such a rich family neglect to take care of the ancestral house?" ”

"Busy."

"Yes, there is only one gentleman Sean left in the Rickman family, that is to say, the abandonment of the villa has a direct connection with him." Ma Wei raised two fingers: "Based on this, we can guess that Gentleman Sean has not returned to this villa for a long time, and the conversation between him and the old butler Donnie can also prove this." ”

"If it's just business, Sean Rickman shouldn't forget this ancestral mansion, and he invited us to come here to get rid of rats with an invitation, which just shows that he hasn't forgotten his ancestral home, but he just doesn't have time, or can't come back."

Raising his eyebrows, Levine suddenly thought of something: "Gentleman Sean's Marine Trading Company is headquartered in Wexford City, according to common sense, he should need to take care of the company's affairs frequently, but since he has returned to Wexford City, why does he turn a blind eye to the ancestral home?" ”

Muttering, Levin seemed to understand something.

The reason is actually quite simple.

Sean Rickman, who did not manage his family's company at all, in his eyes, there was something more important than running a company!

It's been a long time since he's been back to Wexford City...

Reminiscent of Baron Bill's dinner party, one can't help but wonder if Sean Rickman has been hiding in New Russia, and if so...

Why did he do it?

If not...

Why did he take time out of his busy schedule to attend Baron Bill's banquet?

Is a banquet more important than your own company?

Whether it's or not, the clues point to one person.

Four Princes, Arthur!

"If it weren't for Gentleman Sean's invitation, we wouldn't know his identity." "He called us to Wexford City, there must be something important," Marvey said. ”

"Hmm...."

Levin nodded slowly, and said thoughtfully: "Eighty, he was also instructed by the fourth prince Arthur, but what does the fourth prince Arthur want to do?" ”

"Could it be..."

"He's in this villa, and he wants to surprise us?"

Surprise...

I think it's a fright.

Ma Wei smiled helplessly: "Gentleman Sean's move to let us leave New Ross is not difficult to guess that it is to avoid other churches, in other words, the importance of what he wants to discuss with us next is self-evident, so... Don't be stunned, let Friday start catching mice. ”

Pouting, Levin used the Siren Tears hidden in his arms to turn the cat man into a cat again.

The villa is very large, and the rat removal work will not end in a while, and during this time, Levin still wants to continue the topic just now: "Even if we deduce that Gentleman Sean is a subordinate of the fourth prince Arthur, this has nothing to do with the knight!" ”

"It's a tradition that the Rickman family has been knights for generations. The sword and shield above the fireplace in the living room, and the armor in the corner, are the best proof. ”

"This year is 1859," said Mavi, "and the fashionable ones on the street are the Fryck coat, tuxedo, and wool coat, the predecessor of the bag-shaped regular dress, and the Raonki jacket suit has just taken shape, and has not yet been popularized on a large scale, but even so, the Sean gentleman still wears the outdated Frac gown, which was popular from the last century to the beginning of this century, and now it has become a classical dress that can only be occasionally seen at high-class banquets." ”

"Even at banquets, very few people wear a frack gown." Levin shrugged, patted the tuxedo on his body and said, "The most popular thing now is actually the tuxedo I wear, like a Frak dress or something, I'm afraid only the pretentious fools in the Popong Kingdom are still wearing it." ”

"That's right, the Frac dress worn by Gentleman Sean is too formal and old-fashioned, and a gentleman who pursues fashion will never appear in clothes that are outdated in the aesthetics of the times." Ma Wei bowed his head and said: "Gentleman Sean doesn't care about other people's eyes, nor does he care about fashion, he is most likely a person who follows the rules. ”

"When we just entered the living room, his movements when he got up, and the etiquette when we met, are very ancient, who still greets the young people with the etiquette of the older generation?"

"And most importantly, I noticed that there was a thick layer of calluses on his palms and several joints, which had been formed over the years, and in addition to this, there were also calluses on his index finger and the tiger's mouth on his right hand, but they were very thin."

"Cocoons? What does a cocoon have to do with a knight? ”

"How do you feel when you touch the palms of those noble ladies?"

"It's greasy and delicate."

"That's right, people who are pampered and don't have to work, where can they have calluses on their hands?" Ma Wei said softly: "Only those who rub all year round and keep exercising will grind calluses on their hands, if I guessed correctly, Gentleman Sean uses a long sword, a long sword worn by knights." ”

"Can you rub the sword into the tiger's mouth?"

The hooked iron rod in Levine's hand was very hard, but...

It has nothing to do with the tiger's mouth.

Even if the hand is grinded, it is impossible for the tiger's mouth to appear in a cocoon.

"It has nothing to do with the sword, it's the traces left by the revolver..."Ma Wei grinned, "Times have changed, and it's time for the knights to use new weapons." ”

"You just said he was a cling-by-the rules."

“... Conformism does not mean that the brain is sick, take a long sword to fight other people's revolvers, and now even the nobles have begun to duel with pistols, cold weapons... Outdated. ”
