418 Don't You Want to Get Rid of Me!
"It is impossible for a person who values wealth to give his wealth to someone who has nothing to do with it." In Mary's apartment, listening to Black Rose's words, Bai Heqing spoke.
"yes, that's what I thought, too."
Black Rose nodded in agreement.
"The three heirs appointed by Eijiro Tone definitely have some kind of special relationship with him, but I don't know exactly what the relationship is, after all, it depends on the investigation of the two of them......," she said with a smile.
"Why are you so aware of these things?" Bai Heqing looked at her and suddenly asked.
According to Black Rose, the news of Eijiro Tone's death is currently being concealed by his two sons, why does Black Rose, as an outsider who has nothing to do with this matter, know about this so clearly?
Even the content of Eijiro Tone's suicide note is clear.
"It's simple."
Faced with Bai Heqing's doubts, Black Rose took out an invitation letter from her body and handed it to the two.
Bai Heqing just opened it and glanced at it, and then handed it to Mary beside him.
Without it, I can't read English.
"Because I was invited by Eijiro Tone's two sons to go to their annex on the island as detectives to investigate the whereabouts of Eijiro Tone's estate."
"You still have the identity of a detective?" Mary looked up at her in surprise.
"Of course, as a monster thief, it should be normal for me to have many identities, right?" Black Rose replied as a matter of course.
"What do you mean by investigating the whereabouts of that estate? Could it be that the heritage is gone? Bai Heqing asked.
"I don't know, but according to what Eijiro Tone's two sons told me, their father's legacy must still be in the annex, but they couldn't find it.
In order to find out the inheritance, the brothers first searched the annex themselves, and when they couldn't find it, they called the three heirs specified in their father's suicide note, trying to rely on these people to find the inheritance, but they still couldn't find it......
That's it, this group of people tossed around and really couldn't help it, so they decided to ask the detective to see if they could help, and coincidentally, I was the detective they found, which was really a headache......"
As she spoke, Black Rose sighed pretendedly.
Bai Heqing listened to her words and bowed his head in contemplation.
The treasure that was given the name of the "British Empire", the three heirs who seemed to have nothing to do with each other, and the mysterious disappearance of the inheritance......
The intuition honed by Bai Heqing's years of wandering around various cases told him that the matter that Black Rose wanted to ask him for was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Something is going to happen.
"What exactly do you want us to do with the deal? Is it to find out the whereabouts of these legacies? ”
At this moment, Mary also finished reading the contents of the invitation, nodded her head towards Bai He, and turned her head to look at Black Rose.
"No, investigating the whereabouts of the heritage is only incidental." Shaking her head slightly, Black Rose explained, "What I really need is to hope that the two of you will find a way to preserve all the artifacts in this collection after finding this batch of heritage. ”
Speaking of which, her tone was serious.
"No matter which country's cultural relics, they are the precious historical and cultural heritage of that country and its people, and they are the most practical embodiment of the charm of that civilization in the real world.
They should belong to their own country, not be plundered by robbers and then displayed like trophies in their museums by other countries.
Helping these looted artifacts return to their own countries as much as possible is my original intention to steal as a thief.
Two, according to the scattered information I have investigated before, the circumstances of Eijiro Tone's acquisition of the treasure in Singapore are very mysterious, and I personally suspect that he may have obtained the treasure that the British had plundered from other parts of the world during the Voyage of Discovery, but for various reasons, ended up in Singapore.
I think that's probably why he called this treasure 'the legacy of the British Empire', and if that's true, it must contain a lot of precious artifacts from other countries around the world.
From my personal point of view, I don't want these relics to fall into the hands of the capitalists and nobles, and they should be returned to the museums of their own countries. ”
"Okay, I promise you."
As soon as Black Rose finished speaking, Bai Heqing immediately agreed, he looked at her and said, "I will help you investigate the whereabouts of this batch of inheritances, and I will also help you keep the precious cultural relics in this batch of inheritances as you wish."
Of course, there is nothing I can do to help you preserve and take these artifacts away, so how to take them away and return them to their own country is up to you. ”
Although his instincts told him that the investigation of this inheritance might be a bit dangerous, Bai Heqing decided to wade into this troubled water because of the Black Rose's incomparably righteous motives.
"Me too!"
Mary on the side also followed up and said, "Baihe, I'll go with you." ”
Looking at Mary's unhesitating appearance, Bai Heqing frowned slightly.
Considering the danger he might encounter, he didn't want Mary to follow him anymore, just as Mary was worried that Bai Heqing would be injured because of her again, Bai Heqing also didn't want to see her implicated because of herself.
Even to be honest, Mary was not obligated to accompany him in these things......
"Don't try to push me away!"
But just as he was about to speak, he was forcibly interrupted by Mary, who looked directly at Bai Heqing and came up with a reason that he couldn't refuse.
"Baihe, you can't even understand English, if I don't have me by your side to translate for you, how can you gather intelligence? How do you go about investigating? Well? ”
When she asked, she directly stopped Bai Heqing.
It is true that he does not know English.
On his own, he will definitely not be able to communicate with the British normally, and at this time, it is indeed impossible for Mr. Stewart to find a partner who can speak English and Japanese for him and can also cooperate with him highly.
He and Mary also quickly cultivated a tacit understanding after experiencing life and death with each other......
“…… Well, okay, then the next thing is to ask Mary for you. ”
Thinking like this, Bai Heqing sighed softly and agreed.
Well, when the time comes, he should be more careful......
"Hmph~"
Seeing this, Mary raised her chin happily.
Maybe even she didn't realize what really made her happy......
"Oh! The relationship between the two is really good! ”
Seeing that the two reached a consensus, Black Rose, who was originally eating melons quietly, immediately clapped her hands with a smile.
"It seems that you are really boyfriend and girlfriend! Then I'll leave the rest to the second ......."
"It's not!" ×2
"Huh? Isn't it? ”
"Of course not!" ×2
