Chapter 81: Sister-in-law?
"Mr. Monet, don't talk nonsense, I only provide criminal plans, I never kill people, and I don't know what Cliff or Jack you are talking about!" James quickly explained.
"What?! You say you don't know Cliff and Jack? How is this possible, Cliff's lover clearly said that the person who instructed him was the self-proclaimed Professor Moriarty! ”
James replied with a wry smile: "Mr. Monet, you don't know the origin of the name Professor Moriarty, this name can be used by anyone!" ”
Monet was right, so he nodded and agreed: "Well, this is also true, and it is not you who instructed people to come to my house to steal the manuscript!" ”
"Of course not, although I love your work, I'm still very confident in my designs, so there's no need to do this kind of shameless plagiarism!" James immediately pleaded.
After asking a few more questions, Monet sighed and said to Sheriff Klein: "It seems that this guy is not the Professor Moriarty who has been targeting me!" ”
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I thought it was this guy!"
"It's not a disappointment, it's always good to catch a criminal!"
Just as Monet came home disappointed, Nicole greeted him and said, "Tony, your sister-in-law is waiting for you in the living room!" ”
"My sister-in-law? When did I have a sister-in-law? Monet asked with a surprised expression.
"Although this woman didn't say that it was your sister-in-law, that's what it meant, so I waited for you at the door, so that you could be mentally prepared." Nicole explained.
Monet nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'll pay attention, but then again, there's no point in her pretending to be my sister-in-law!" ”
"Well, that's true, but it's better to be careful!"
When he arrived at the living room, Monet saw a woman dressed in black with a sad face but still unable to hide her slender and plump figure and mature charm, because he couldn't confirm his identity for a while, so Monet didn't know what to call it, but fortunately, the woman asked first: "You are Tony, right?" ”
In fact, the moment she saw Monet, Mary's heart was half cold, because she had a photo of Monet and Allen in her hand, so she was sure that the Monet in front of her was absolutely real, and her dream of blackmail was in vain, but then came the second question, why did this Monet seem to be a different person after he arrived in New York? If he had the ability now, he would be able to mix up in London, and there was no need to come to New York, so it seemed that he still had secrets on his body. (In 1888 Kodak and Zeiss were founded, and in 1906 there was even a flash.) )
Although it was different from her previous plan, Mary was also prepared for the situation in front of her, so Mary said: "I am your brother Allen's neighbor Mary-Scully, I am entrusted by him to send you something!" With that, Mary took out a small box and handed it over.
"Wait, you say you're Mrs. Scowley?"
Mary nodded and replied, "That's right, I'm Mrs. Scowley!" ”
The reason why Monet asked this is because he remembered that his brother mentioned in the last letter to him that he had a very beautiful neighbor, and he wanted to pursue her, hoping that he could help him, in fact, he just wanted to ask for more money.
Looking at the small box handed over by Mary, Monet was even more convinced of this matter, because this small box contained an inconspicuous-looking silver ring, although it looked inconspicuous, but this was indeed the evidence of the head of their family, so it was very reasonable for Alan to ask someone to send this ring over before he died, and it also showed that Alan trusted this person very much.
But what he didn't know was that the role of this ring was inadvertently said by Alan after he was drunk once, and then taking advantage of the chaos after Allen's suicide, she went to Allen's house and took out the ring, just to prove her identity in New York this time.
With these two proofs, Monet basically determined Mary's identity, so he accepted the ring and asked her, "Lady Scowley, I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of not marrying my brother yet?" ”
Mary sighed and replied: "Originally, we wanted to wait until Alan's birthday to get married, but we didn't expect this to happen, hey, this is also to blame Alan for being too greedy, but, he died too miserably!" ”
"In fact, the most hateful thing in this matter is those liars!" Monet comforted.
After chatting for a while, Monet asked, "Sister Marie, what are you going to do next?" Or go back to Ipswich? ”
Mary shook her head and replied, "Ipswich will definitely not be able to go back, there are many creditors there every day to make me pay back, and if it were not for the help of two good friends, I would not have been able to get on the boat." ”
Monet believed what happened to Mary, because even he received the bills from these creditors, let alone Mary in Ipswich.
So Monet thought for a moment and then said, "Otherwise, Sister Mary, you can stay in New York, and I will help you rent a house and find another job." ”
Mary knew that she couldn't rush this matter, so she agreed: "Thank you, Tony!" ”
"Thank you for this, we are not outsiders!" Monet replied nonchalantly.
After settling Mary in Jessica's café, Monet returned home exhausted, and Nicole asked while giving him a massage, "Is this Mary really your sister-in-law?" ”
Monet nodded and replied: "It should be about the same, my brother mentioned her in the letter he wrote before, and she also sent this inheritance ring from my family, if she is not close to her brother, it is impossible to know about this matter at all." ”
"But I don't know why, I always feel that this woman is not that simple!" Nicole questioned.
"This beautiful woman lives alone, if it were too simple, she would have been eaten so much that she would not even have any scum left!"
Nicole's focus was a little crooked, and she reminded with a strong sense of vinegar: "You are not allowed to think about this beautiful woman, she is your sister-in-law!" ”
"Oops, what do you think of me!" Monet replied with some displeasure.
"Treat you like a man!" Nicole said coquettishly.
PS: Thank you for the support of the book friend "Accent Sauce", and I will also push the "World" of the third uncle of the southern school, although I have heard about the experience of the third uncle being sick and hospitalized before, but I really didn't expect it to be so serious, this book can be said to be a portrayal of the third uncle's true mood at that time!
