fog city detective

Liang Xi couldn't understand.

Anthony shot an arrow and said with a telescope: "Participating in the blood moon invitation is the main job of House and I. As a large intelligence agency like the European Skull and Bones, they have a lot of resources. What is intelligence? For example, the king gave birth to a monkey , This is a piece of information, I can sell the information to the earl, the baron, the viscount, and even let the king buy out the information. If I make the information public, this information will become news and have no value."

Liang Xi asked, "Is this talking about you and House?"

Anthony said: "Skull and Bones members are eligible to purchase information. I have a Russian friend who has been unable to become a member. The reason is that Skull and Bones thinks he has a strong utilitarian and standpoint, and thinks he is a sword butterfly. Yes, he is a sword butterfly." .This sword butterfly friend came to me, and I would be happy to help him buy information. Two blood moon invitations in three years, and three years can earn millions of pounds. For me, this is life."

Anthony said: "House is an American living in London, and he is helping Americans buy information. Unlike you, every piece of information we buy is explosive-level information. Of course, the European Skull and Bones is not God, they are difficult to deal with related to military intelligence."

Seeing Liang Xi's confused face, Anthony couldn't measure which level the 'explosive level' was, so he gave an example: "I once asked a question, which banks in Russia will be sanctioned by the European Union. Skull and Bones gave me an accurate answer. Because the bank had several months of preparation time, it avoided greater losses, and some people even made a fortune from it. I think the question you asked should be somewhat different from the question I asked, right?"

This gap is not generally large.Liang Xi asked, "Are you Russian?"

Anthony said: "No, no, I'm not Russian, I'm really buying information for Russian friends. It's just that with the help of luck, I can always be nailed into the blood moon invitation like a nail. The blood moon invitation of European Skull and Bones is hard to get off .Last and last time, Skull and Bones negotiated with me to buy all my gold and silver coins for 200 million pounds each. I declined. As an intelligence agency, the most important thing is credibility. As long as my gold coins are still there, blood moon The invitations have to go on. I take out the gold coins, and they have to give me information."

Anthony said: "You may not know that the opponent of the last blood moon invitation was John, right? John raised various questions about our reasoning answers and pointed out various contradictions. That case was also carefully selected by John. I have six gold coins Entering the castle, there was only one gold coin and two silver coins left when we left. House lost all five gold coins, and finally rolled on the ground shamelessly. In the end, John couldn't stand it anymore, so he personally gave him five silver coins. "

Liang Xi understood why when talking about John, Anthony and House only had one simple sentence: John is a good man.This good guy card is based entirely on the fact that John is dead.

Fuck, at that time the butler suggested that he be an opponent, and he seemed to have an idea.These people have all kinds of calculations and ideas in what they do and what they say.The water is so deep, it really is not a circle of people.

Liang Xi asked curiously: "You are so rich, why do you still work as a construction worker?"

"I like the process of building from scratch, but I don't like managing money and running a business. After I got rich, I sold the company and worked as an on-site construction safety supervisor in a friend's company." Anthony thought for a while , and then explained: "Maybe I have a brain problem. I like to sit on the seawall with a group of sweaty men after a tiring day, drinking cold beer, talking about women, football, and everything."

Liang Xi asked, "Is the detective agency closed?"

Anthony said helplessly: "Business is monopolized by the police. Since the beginning of this century, security surveillance has spread all over the streets and alleys, and criminal investigation technology is changing with each passing day. When I was young, footprints, fingerprints, and DNA were the three major items. Now biotechnology, entomology, Microbiology, physics, chemistry, optoelectronics, computing."

Liang Xi understood Anthony's helplessness very well, and now criminal investigation technology has reached the stage of biological trace evidence collection.For example, if you are killed by a river and your body is moved to a desert, the forensic doctor may find traces of insects left by the river in your body, and then determine the environment in which you were killed by analyzing information such as the species of insects.

At this time, a security guard walked up to the two of them and reminded: "Mr. Anthony, the appointment time is up." It was time for Anthony to use the gold coins.

Anthony nodded, shook hands with Liang Xi to say goodbye, and left with the security guards towards the main building of the castle.

A very interesting person who made himself very clear. If you think he trusts Liang Xi, you are wrong.If you think that Anthony is this character, you are wrong.This is a way for Anthony to protect himself. When everyone knows everything about him, the possibility of the skeleton trying to hurt him will be reduced.

No need to investigate, that's what happened to me.The only one who wants to kill me is Skull and Bones, because I am the nail for the blood moon invitation.As the Skull and Bones Society, which mainly sells information, it must not do such a thing that damages its credibility when many people know about it.

Prince Thresh passed by, got off his horse, shook hands with Liang Xi, and asked, "Liang Xi, are you from London?"

Liang Xi nodded: "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Thresh said: "Just call me Chris. I'm a painter and I have my own gallery in Denmark. I lived in the UK for a year and I have a very good impression of the UK. I've always planned to open my gallery in London .???

Liang Xi nodded: "Very good."

Thresh said: "I want to ask, is there a more suitable house? The rent should not be too high, around several thousand pounds."

Liang Xi asked, "Do you live here, or a gallery?"

Thresh replied, "Dwell."

Liang Xi asked: "A large flat floor of [-] square meters, equipped with all appliances, a gym, a small indoor swimming pool, and a large outdoor garden. Complimentary use of underground parking spaces, weekly housekeeping is responsible for cleaning. How much do you think is suitable?"

Thresh was stunned, you have such a house?Thresh estimated: "Why does it cost four thousand pounds?"

"Okay, leave me your phone number, and I will contact you and send you the photos." Liang Xi said, "For people like us, rent is the secondary purpose we need to consider. The first thing to consider is the environment. and quality of life.??? It is acceptable to work part-time as a second landlord, which is labor income.

Thresh agreed very much: "That's right." I'm a prince of the side door, what status do you have?

Liang Xi took out his mobile phone: "I'll write down the number."

Because Thresh wanted to maintain his image as a prince, he had very little conversation with Liang Xi. After leaving a phone call with each other, he exchanged a few polite greetings before getting on his horse and leaving.Liang Xi watched Thresh leave very politely.

Then Liang Xi went back to his room, packed his clothes and left, and stopped eating lunch.The craftsmanship of her exclusive maid is very average. She can process the freshest deep-sea fish into very elastic and chewy fish meat. With the dipping sauce of sweet and spicy chicken, Liang Xi just wants to hold the deep-sea fish carcass and cry: It's fucking dead It's too wrong.

1Chapter 16 ??????

The butler sent a car to take Liang Xi to the train station. Not long after boarding the train, Liang Xi received a call from Karin.Karin told Liang Xi that she had returned to work with Maria. Liang Xi knew that it had something to do with her work, so she didn't ask any other questions.In order to welcome Karin back to London, she invited Karin to dinner in the evening.Karin refused, she called specifically to invite Liang Xi to dinner to express her gratitude for Liang Xi's helping hand.

Liang Xi said, "Thank you for having other ways."

Karin was startled: "What way?" Do you want money?This was Karin's first thought.

Liang Xidao: "In ancient times, after a woman was rescued by a man, she usually promised her with her body, or acted like an ox or a horse. The kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring."

Karin asked with a smile: "I need to marry you to express my gratitude?"

Liang Xi replied: "Not necessarily. If a woman likes a man, the woman will say that she is willing to repay the grace of saving her life with her body. If the woman does not like a man, the woman will say that she must repay the grace of saving her life even if she is a cow and a horse in the future." .???

Karin laughed, took a moment to stop, and asked, "Does the man understand women? Has he taken the time to understand women? Does he understand himself?"

Liang Xi was asked for a while, and said for a while: "We have to go through the tunnel, we will meet and talk tonight."

"Well, I'll send you the address after I've decided on the location."

"Okay, bye."

"Goodbye."

Liang Xi held the phone in a daze.After he learned that Yingluck took the disabled driver's license and went to work at the city hall, and that Yingluck and Fiona were never married, he was secretly delighted.Why?As a man, Fiona's impact on Liang Xi's memory is extremely strong and indelible, making Liang Xi feel the happiest joy in his life.Liang Xi was obsessed with this shock for a long time.Karin gave Liang Xi a different feeling, and she was willing to eat, chat, take a walk and exercise with her.

After Karin went to France, Liang Xi didn't have much concern.But Fiona can appear in Liang Xi's mind every day.If you say love, it should be Fiona.But is it really love?When Liang Xi and Fiona were alone, they thought about that kind of thing, and when they thought about Fiona every day, they still thought about that kind of thing.He had no other impression of Fiona.

As far as eating is concerned, if Liang Xi eats with Fiona, he expects something to happen after eating, and eating is just a tool.

If Liang Xi had dinner with Karin, he would be willing to spend more time on the meal.

Liang Xi reviewed himself. Karin had worked in Maria Hospital for several months, and he had never asked her to watch movies, eat or go out.Only when there is something to do, do we enjoy afternoon tea at Mary's house together.I never pursued her, nor had her thoughts.

Liang Xi didn't know anymore, he couldn't figure out who he liked, maybe he didn't like them, maybe he liked them all.

Damn, it's so difficult!

Liang Xi had two love experiences in high school, but neither was the girl who made his heart beat.The girls took the initiative to express their love. Although Liang Xi didn't love them, he thought they were good in all aspects. He didn't have a girlfriend, so why didn't he accept it?This is logical thinking.These two love affairs did not increase Liang Xi's emotional experience, especially tasteless, it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless.

Karin made Liang Xi's heart flutter, and Fiona made Liang Xi restless.

As an ex-girlfriend said, Liang Xi understood her, but he didn't understand himself.

However, this also involves a practical topic.It's not up to you to choose which girl, other girls may not like you.Fiona likes to bite Liang's apples, but does Fiona only love Liang Xi?Karin has a crush on Liang Xi, but how long will Liang Xi's inaction, performance, and pursuit last?If Liang Xi pursues Karin with the enthusiasm of squatting in the bar for ten days, Liang Xi has a chance.The smart Karin will distinguish Liang Xi's enthusiasm or behavior.

Enthusiasm means that I invite you to dinner every day, I just want to invite you to dinner, I just want to eat with you.sensual behavior.

Behavior, I invite you to eat every day for other reasons, and eating is just a tool.rational behavior.

Liang Xi felt that he had to find a staff officer.Bobby can't do it, this stuff is too bad, and his experience is spent with money and face.Baker is a bachelor, and Liu Zhennv is a bachelor.Although Ah Duo is married, the couple has entered a midlife crisis.No, you can't refer to it. Be yourself. If you make mistakes or do bad things, that's your own business.

Liang Xi asked himself, what are your strengths?The appearance is not bad, Liang Xi doesn't brag or criticize, he thinks he has seven points no matter what.clever?No, with the ex-girlfriends, being smart was what led to the total failure of the relationship.Romance, hard work, diligence, courage to take responsibility, tenacity, bravery, thoughtfulness... Liang Xi found that he had almost nothing to do with it.

On the whole, Liang Xi is not an excellent boyfriend.As a bird like myself, I still dare to be in Cao Ying's heart, and dare to stare at the pot without moving the bowl.You must reflect on yourself.When Karin was in England, it was fine if she didn't have an appointment. After Karin arrived in France, she didn't have a phone.If it wasn't for exercise, I probably wouldn't even send an email.

If such a Liang Xi can get a wife, it would be hell.

Rubbish, you are rubbish!Liang Xi braced his head and looked out the window, feeling that this description of himself was a bit too much. The accurate adjective should be: kitchen waste.There is no recycling value, even if you use it for composting, you have to trouble others to deal with your own stench.

well!Liang Xi lowered his head, pressing his head on the small table in frustration.As Mary said about John, John's adventurous spirit was one of the reasons that attracted her when he was young.And I lived in the detective agency only half a year after graduating from university.If it weren't for some talent and luck points at birth, it is estimated that now I can only hold Mary to eat the old.

??????

The detective agency where Liang Xi returned to London was around two o'clock in the afternoon. Today's detective agency is quite chaotic, with Liang Xi's daily necessities piled up everywhere.After all, no matter how simple a man is, he must have the most basic living space.But Liang Xi didn't have time to deal with this problem today, so Liang Xi first spent 150 pounds to a well-known barber shop nearby, and had an expensive haircut.Prior to this, Liang Xi's haircut cost did not exceed 10 pounds.

Put on your best fitting suit and take it off.Put on your favorite gray sweater and jeans.Because of the small waistline of jeans, Liang Xi never wears a belt, but he does today.Before, Liang Xi didn't wear leather shoes and short stockings, because they were too slippery, and walking was awkward. He preferred sports socks, which filled his shoes completely.Today I put on short stockings and a pair of casual leather shoes with jeans.

After looking in front of the mirror for a long time, he opened the office drawer and took out John's men's handbag.No, take out the phone and hold it in your hand, it seems to be okay.

This is the first time that Liang Xi prepares for meeting others for more than 3 minutes. In the past, even when Liang Xi went to meet the count, he would dress casually, and didn't bother to change if he felt inappropriate.To put it on is to put it on.This attack took three hours.Looking left and right in the mirror, I can't see where the three hours were spent, but I just spent them, and I feel so bad.

There is also a souvenir. Today is Karin's treat. As a guest, Liang Xi bought an exquisite pastry as a souvenir.This is because during two afternoon teas with Karin, Liang Xi discovered that Karin liked to eat small snacks.Um?Seems like the little treats could be removed.

At 55:[-] in the evening, Liang Xi arrived at the Chinese restaurant on time.Karin, who arrived first, was dressed casually and was looking at the menu under the introduction of the waiter.Liang Xi came up to apologize first, and gave him a present. Karin looked at Liang Xi for three seconds before saying, "Order." What conspiracy does he have?

Liang Xi said to the waiter in Chinese: "Fat intestines, braised meat, mixed with green vegetables..."

Liang Xi immediately changed his words: "Karin, what flavor do you like?"

Karin smiled and said, "You order."

Therefore, Liang Xi was not polite, and said seven dishes in one breath, and the waiter said with a confused face: "I'm sorry, I don't know Chinese."

"Fuck."

Karin covered her mouth and laughed loudly: "Great detective, amazing."

Liang Xi was speechless and asked the sky, Liang Xi asked: "Does the chef know Chinese?"

The waiter nodded.

Liang Xi took a note: "There are two kinds of dishes, one is authentic Chinese food, and the other is popular local Chinese food." Liang Xi noted on the back of the dishes, less oil, more spicy, and no TM sugar.Liang Xi has been eating family-style Chinese food for 8 years, and what he hates the most is adding sugar to Chinese food, which is too sweet and salty to eat.However, Liang Xi found that authentic Chinese food doesn???t get high scores in online reviews, and Chinese restaurants with high scores change their dishes because of local tastes.

Western-style Chinese food has three flavors: sweet, sour and salty.

The dishes were served quickly, Liang Xi ordered six dishes and one soup, and served two dishes within 2 minutes.Liang Xi held up his chopsticks with a tragic expression, Karin was puzzled, Liang Xi said: "It was prepared in advance." Trying the taste again, it was really ordinary.

Liang Xi boasted: "After I move, I will definitely let you try my cooking skills."

Karin nodded and asked, "Is there any house you like?"

Liang Xi asked, "Do you also rent a house?"

Karin replied, "Yeah."

Liang Xi asked smoothly, "How about we rent together?"

Karin smiled and replied: "Not so much. If my future boyfriend is you, then we are living together (living) now, isn't it too casual? If my future boyfriend is not you, how should I explain to my boyfriend? Your presence?"

Liang Xi said, "Can I have a male girlfriend?"

Karin laughed again, and said, "If I have a male best friend who rents together. You are my boyfriend, what would you think of this problem?"

Liang Xi paused, and said, "Your question is a bit embarrassing." I thought there was nothing wrong with being Karin's boyfriend, but after I changed my identity to Karin's boyfriend, I thought, shit, all these so-called boyfriends should be tied up. A ton of iron, sunk in the English Channel to feed the fish.What's even more disgusting is that the male girlfriends are not ashamed, but proud.For example, when I was a male girlfriend, I thought: I didn???t do anything, why would Karin???s boyfriend be hostile to me?Is this kind of man reliable?Karin had to be persuaded to break up with him.

Karin said, "So..."

Liang Xi changed the subject and said: "If you have a suitable house, you can recommend one to me. Money is not a problem. The rent plus monthly hard expenses don't exceed five hundred pounds."

Karin smiled again: "Liang Xi, whenever you need money, do you regret not getting more money?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "Living alone, spending five hundred is too extravagant. I don't need much space."

Karin nodded and said, "Can you tell me about the wonderful experience of going to Brighton?"

This is what attracts a lot of women.After hearing that Liang Xi was invited to participate in the Blood Moon, which she had never heard of, the well-informed Karin was also full of curiosity.Liang Xi's eloquence is not bad, he is good at telling stories, and began to describe his trip to the blood moon.During the speaking process, Karin didn't say a word, but listened very carefully, which made Liang Xi especially want to speak.

After Liang Xi finished speaking, Karin asked, "You don't think the professor is the murderer? You don't think No. 3 is the murderer either?"

Liang Xidao: "We think there is a problem with this question itself. There are too few resources in this case, there is no witness, and the time span of committing the crime exceeds 20 hours. Everything is possible. According to our reasoning, there are several contradictions that are explained For example, since the professor has murderous intentions and uses food and drugs to control people, why not directly control everyone? The professor is in good health, and he did not commit suicide after his granddaughter died. He focused on learning. Why did the professor suddenly commit suicide? Even if the professor is The murderer should also commit suicide after killing, instead of letting the situation develop naturally after suicide." As an opponent, the princess's level is not enough.

Liang Xidao: "This is similar to a math problem. 2 plus how much equals how much. There are infinite possibilities and infinite impossibilities. So I refused to participate in the second blood moon invitation. I don't want to waste my time on such problems." .???

Karin asked curiously: "Why can't you think about it from the perspective of making money?"

Liang Xi replied: "John once told me that when you put money first in doing something, you will lose experience and fun. He gave me a piece of advice. Before I have a formal girlfriend, I will not starve to death. Don???t consider the money factor under certain circumstances. Because after marriage, whether I want to or not, many of my future actions must take money into account. Youth is short, let yourself go, enjoy life, and let the future self have no regrets. I asked at the time, Am I missing out on making money? John told me, if you can earn ??20 at 30, why do you think you won???t earn ??[-] at [-] with ten years of life experience?"

Karin asked curiously, "How do you answer?"

Liang Xi said: "I'm kidding you, Auntie is not interested in a 30-year-old brother."

Karin laughed and realized that her voice was too loud, so she immediately covered her mouth and nodded to the affected people in apology.Liang Xi admired Karin's smile. Karin was very generous and not shy, and said, "I think what John said is very reasonable. I'm the opposite of you. I don't mean money. I have many things to consider. It???s a lot of demands. They say I love studying, but I don???t like studying, I hate studying, but my heart always forces me to do something meaningful.???

Liang Xi said: "I think John is talking about you. You can definitely make money at the age of 30. As far as the current profit of the detective agency is concerned, I don't think I can make money at the age of 30."

Karin said: "A reminder, with John's advice, you shouldn't think about this issue."

Liang Xi nodded: "After going to college, I understand John's mentality. Many people, including Mary, think that John is very satisfied with his life. In fact, he has left a lot of regrets. He told me that he missed a lot of scenery. When he should be young and frivolous, He chose to be mature and stable, and when he was mature and stable, he chose to know his destiny."

Karin said: "Senior's advice should be remembered. But if you follow senior's advice completely, then your life does not belong to you."

Wow, this sentence is so philosophical. Karin smiled and admired Liang Xi's admiration, picked up the phone to look at the number, gave Liang Xi a sorry expression, and answered the phone: "Hello...I'm eating...now Is it?...It's not very convenient...Okay, I'll send you the location."

1Chapter 17 ??????

Karin hung up the phone, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Someone will take 5 minutes to technically deal with my mobile phone."

Liang Xi said: "Let him eat with us. It's so bad, we can't finish it."

Karin was teased by Liang Xi again, and tried to hold back her smile: "Fiona." She stared at Liang Xi's expression.

"Fiona? Huh?" Liang Xi was stunned for a while, and said, "Is she coming?"

Karin: "She doesn't know we eat together."

Liang Xi scratched the hair on his forehead, looking a little irritable, and Karin's heart also went cold.
