London Discord

Just about to answer, Su Rui's cell phone rang at this moment.

"Sorry," Su Rui took out his phone, but hesitated when he saw the contact's name on the screen.

"What's wrong?" Jeremy asked.

"It's Ellie...did I mention her name just now?" Really said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

"What happened to my sister?"

"She's fine, it's me..." Su Rui smiled awkwardly at Jeremy, "I... When I asked her for your contact information... I used an inappropriate method last night."

"what?"

Fifteen minutes later, the doorbell of Shu Rui's apartment rang.

The person who opened the door was Su Rui.

"Ai Li~" The Chinese young man in front of him had a warm smile on his face, "Good morning~"

"Jevons." Ellie's eyes were bright, she stared straight at the clothes on Su Rui's body, as if she had discovered something.

"Jevons, are you wearing my brother's shirt?"

☆、Chapter 15

"Very good." Ai Lipi sat in the middle of the sofa with a non-smiling smile, looked at Su Rui and Jeremy who were sitting on the opposite side, and said, "Explain?"

Kevin chose to join Ellie's camp. He also used Su Rui's blue and white porcelain tea set to make a pot of black tea and poured Ellie a cup. Sitting next to Ellie, I didn't forget to add a knife: "So this is a family meeting?"

"How did you know it was my shirt?" Jeremy was puzzled. "It's a white shirt."

"Because there are two letters JW on the edge of the pocket, which our mother embroidered on you idiot!" Ellie gritted her teeth.

"Okay, I'm sorry, Ellie, about...uh..." Su Rui tried to forcefully control the scene, but really didn't know how to explain it.

In fact, I'm a Taoist priest and your brother is a wizard We have encountered some life-threatening things recently?

"About what?" Ellie continued to press.

"We're going to move in together." Jeremy threw out the heavy gun.

"What?!" Ellie almost spit out a sip of tea.

"There is a problem with the drainage system in my apartment. Everything in the bathroom and kitchen can't be used. There was a flood last night, so we are going to pack up my things and move to your brother's apartment." Su Rui answered honestly, "I Will stay with Jeremy for a while, then fix everything that is broken in the apartment, and when the lease is up next month, I will go back and look for a new house."

"Oh, how are you?" Ellie asked him with concern.

"I'm fine," Su Rui patted Jeremy on the shoulder, "Thanks to your brother's help."

Jeremy on the side nodded vigorously.

Ellie didn't speak, she opened her bag silently, and took out her mobile phone, "You know, I have a habit," she said while swiping the screen, "I set the function of automatic recording and backup of calls, so... "

Ellie put the phone on the table, and Su Rui's voice came out from the phone:

"Ellie, can you give me your brother's phone number?"

...

"Uh...that's...I've taken a fancy to your brother!"

...

"Yes, that's right, I have a special feeling for your brother. I can't sleep and I keep thinking about him. I must tell him, so you tell me your brother's contact information now, hurry up! Phone number!"

Ellie pressed pause, and the recording stopped abruptly here.

"Are you telling the truth, Jevons?" She calmly asked Su Rui, who was facing an embarrassed face.

Su Rui especially wants to jump into the Thames now.

"No, I'm just... Uh, I was embarrassed and anxious at the time and didn't want to disturb you again, so I lied. I'm sorry Ellie." Su Rui said word by word with difficulty.

"Yes, he was soaked when he came to see me last night," Jeremy tried to make a way out, but it became darker and darker. "It was late at that time, and he couldn't find a suitable place to live, so I Let him take a shower first, change my clothes, and then stay at my house for one night."

"Oh, so that is, Jevons lied to me that he was interested in you in order not to worry me, then asked for your phone number, then went to your house, and then you kindly took him in and let him Clean it up and give him clothes to wear?" Ellie summed up precisely.

"..." This story sounds so nonsense that Su Rui can't believe it, although it is also true from a certain point of view.

"He even made him breakfast." Kevin on the side continued to insert a knife.

"shut up!"

"As if I didn't do it for you!"

Ellie gracefully put down the teacup in her hand, "Since when did the relationship between the two of you get so good? If I remember correctly, you just met through me the day before?"

Yeah, when did my relationship with Jeremy get so good?

Su Rui remembered the passage in "Harry Potter":

Yet from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend.When you and someone go through an event together, you can't help but develop a bond, and knocking out a twelve-foot troll is one such event.

So maybe being targeted by a pool of murderous water is one such event?

"Actually, I went to look for him." Seeing that Su Rui was at a loss for words, Jeremy took over the task of rescuing the scene, "I sent you back to the dormitory the other day and went to look for him again, I think this guy is very bad Sounds good, so I want to 'talk' to him."

"What?!" Ellie frowned, with a trace of dissatisfaction floating on her face, "This is too much, bro."

"I know. My fault." Jeremy raised his hands, "But after our kind and friendly exchange, I thought he was fine, so I bought him a drink."

Su Rui silently put his hands on his forehead.

Ellie: "..."

"Then we were chatting about how long he had lived in this apartment, and Jevons said he hadn't lived for long when he just moved in, and I mentioned that my house is very big and it's just me. Maybe I can find a roommate. In the end, we chatted so happily that we forgot to leave our contact information when we said goodbye. After that, last night, Jevons thought of me in a desperate situation, and he didn't want you to worry, so it happened. Such a... small episode."

God, it's finally round.

Jeremy silently added a storytelling specialty to himself.

"...Okay," Ellie stood up, "Have you finished moving your stuff?"

The three big boys shook their heads in unison.

"Then why are you still standing there?" Ellie rolled up her sleeves, "Come on~"

Ellie's joining made the magic color of this move fade away.The four of them worked hard all morning, and when they finally moved all of Su Rui's things into Jeremy's house, it was already eleven o'clock at noon.They sat on the sofa a little tiredly, and Jeremy fetched a bottle of champagne.

"Thank you everyone," Jeremy poured champagne into a goblet, "Cheers~"

"Cheers~"

The four wine glasses collided together, making a crisp sound.

"Then, let me make lunch for everyone." Su Rui stood up and volunteered, "I'll make some simpler dishes, you're probably hungry."

"Okay," Ellie, who had tasted Su Rui's craftsmanship, was very happy, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Jeremy, help me in the kitchen?" Su Rui ticked his thumb.

"it is good."

Su Rui and Jeremy walked into the kitchen one after the other, while Ellie and Kevin were still resting on the sofa in the living room. "So, what do you know?" Ellie asked Kevin suddenly.

"Ah?" Kevin froze for a moment, "What?"

"They," Ellie pointed towards the kitchen with her chin, "please, don't you really believe that story?"

"Uh... your brother mentioned Jevons to me before, but I also met Jevons when I came to see Jeremy this morning. I don't know much about the two of them." Kevin half-truth Reply falsely, "So you don't follow their set at all?"

"Well..." Ellie tilted her head, "One is my own brother, and the other is my best male friend. I can feel that the two of them are lying. There are some truths and some fabricated parts in that story. Obviously they It feels bad to be hiding something from me, but I don't intend to delve into it." Ellie smiled slyly, "But there is still good news."

"What good news?" Kevin asked.

"Jevons is really good at cooking," Ellie said seriously. "I have eaten the Chinese food he cooked, and it was really good~ It's called... what chicken?"

kitchen.

"Beforehand," Jeremy spread his hands innocently, "My cooking skills are basically zero, and my kitchen is a decoration most of the time."

"Ha, I didn't expect you at all, I just need a chance to talk to you alone." Su Rui hugged a round cabbage, and slammed it on the chopping board with a "boom", "Cut the cabbage. OK?"

"Uh..." Jeremy took the "big head" in a bit of a dilemma but bravely, "I'll try."

"So, since we are going to live together, and it is certain that we are all entangled by that monster," Su Rui leaned against the counter and crossed his arms, looking at Jeremy solemnly, "Some things we There needs to be a consensus."

"Obviously." Jeremy agreed.

Is it possible that the pool of water has other goals besides us? "Su Rui frowned.

"I hope not," Jeremy said. "No one else broke into the crime scene, and the forensic police didn't take that puddle of water seriously. It should have killed the two of us." The poor cook's first contact with a human being."

"The problem is that you and I are in the light and it is in the dark. We have no way to track it, and we don't know when and where it will appear. If it causes riots in public..."

"Think about it, when that thing came to you, it was in your home. I think it still has its own judgment on the matter of choosing a location. We have already had experience with it once, wait for them Let's go, let's discuss the specific correspondence again."

"Okay." Su Rui nodded in agreement, "What about Kevin? Actually, I think it's better not to let him get involved in this mess."

"I agree, but he's a wizard too, and we can rely on him if we really need help, but try not to get him involved in the middle of this, the danger is enough to circle you and me. Let him be ours Hide the cards."

"When will you official wizards accept this case?"

"Maybe it has already been taken over? Scotland Yard just opened the case two days ago, and the police officers of the special investigation team just sorted out the information yesterday. It is the weekend now, and I guess I will receive a summons someday starting next week."

"Actually, I thought about taking the initiative to report the situation to your wizard officials, but I didn't want to reveal my identity so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so I dismissed this idea." Su Rui said frankly, "But This is actually not fair to you, so, I want you to know, if you want, we can reach out to the 'Magical Crime Unit'? Or you can truthfully mention my part to your people when they call , I will also cooperate."

"Hey hey," Jeremy protested, "I thought we'd say 'dangerous circles around you and me would be enough'?"

"Okay." Su Rui smiled knowingly, and started to get busy with making lunch. "By the way, I have another question."

"what is the problem?"

"Why don't you let Ellie know that you are a wizard? Or, don't your family members know your status as a wizard?"

"Because I don't want Ellie to find out that there are wizards, Taoist priests, vampires, goblins and other weird creatures in this world. .”

"You know the world would still be pretty bad without 'wizards, priests, vampires, goblins, and all sorts of weird creatures,' right?"

"Well, at least human beings are happy to live in the knowledge that they are the most intelligent primates, aren't they? She just lives her own life well, and I'll take care of other things."

"You know what? As an older brother, you are too..."

"Excellent? Caring? Responsible? Hard work?" Jeremy spoke boldly.

"...a bit domineering." Su Rui rolled his eyes at him, "Ellie is the most beautiful, strong and independent British girl I know. She is a very interesting person, good-natured, educated, non-racist, very Smart, she handles more than you can imagine. And she's single."

"It's impossible for you." Jeremy said firmly.

"Why?" Su Rui asked with interest.

"Because we're going to live together." Jeremy yelled.

"It's only temporary," Su Rui decided to tease him, "Besides, there are so many houses in London, but there is only one Ellie Wilson."

Jeremy: "..."

At this time, Su Rui's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, raised his head in surprise, and looked at Jeremy.

"what happened?"

"It's Inspector Scudder."

☆、Chapter 16

Shu Rui met Inspector Scudder on a bench outside Thorpe Park, a playground not far from central London.Thorpe Park is crowded with people on weekends, and you can hear all kinds of screams from the people in the roller coaster on the ground, and the inspector sitting on the bench looks ethereal, wearing a gray woolen coat, chest There was a black and gold pen pinned to his pocket, and he held a plush doll in his hand, which was a character from Angry Birds. Su Rui guessed that it was probably bought for his daughter.It seemed that Inspector Scudder came to find him when he was playing with his little daughter.Su Rui was very surprised when he received the call from the inspector, but now it seems that this is the private behavior of inspector Scudder.

"Detective." Su Rui stepped forward to greet Inspector Scudder.

"Mr. Su," the inspector nodded briefly, "Sorry to bother you."

"Just call me 'Jevons'." Su Rui smiled, "Is there anything else you need from me about that case?"

"There's only one thing I need to confirm." Inspector Scudder took out a folder and pulled out two photos. "Look at this."

Su Rui sat down beside the inspector, and glanced at these two photos: one was the surveillance image of himself coming to the Metropolitan Police Department on the night of the murder, and the other... Su Rui's heart tightened, It was a photo of myself returning to the outside of the Royal Festival Hall building after leaving the police station, but there was only a back view, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

"What does this mean?" Su Rui asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Where did you go after you left the bureau that night?" Inspector Scudder carefully observed Su Rui's reaction and asked.

Not good.

Su Rui was a little flustered. He didn't expect Inspector Scudder's mind to be so sharp. Although the back view in the second photo and himself in the first photo can only see the same jeans, sneakers and similar The size of his body does not point to him [-]%, but Su Rui does not know if Inspector Scudder has checked where he has been, and the taxi order records of the mobile phone software are not difficult information for the police to obtain.

But this was a private meeting, and it was clear that Inspector Scudder hadn't completely suspected himself, and he really had nothing to do with the murder.Thinking of this, Su Rui regained his composure, and replied half-truthfully, "I'm with Jeremy, that's Mr. Wilson, another witness. He sent Ellie home first, and then we went to the bar for a drink. Then we parted probably after midnight."

"So Mr. Wilson can prove that you have been with him?"

"Yes."

"You didn't go back to the scene of the crime?" Scudder stared straight at Su Rui.

"No," Su Rui looked directly at the inspector with an innocent look, "to be honest... I might never want to go there again."

"Okay." Inspector Scudder put away the photo. "It's all right. I'm sorry to disturb you on the weekend."

"It's nothing, I'm fine anyway." Su Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly casually inquiring into the inspector's tone, "How is the progress of this case? Have you found the suspect?"

"Sorry, no comment."

"Okay. I hope you solve the case smoothly." Su Rui shrugged, "Is the detective here to play with your children?"

"Well, my daughter."

"There is an 'Angry Birds Theme World' in the park, you can try that bumper car project with her." Su Rui suggested enthusiastically.

"It seems that you are already very familiar with London."

"I've been here once before."

"Well, then, I'll go in and get my daughter," said Inspector Scudder. "Good-bye."

"Goodbye."

Su Rui sat on the bench, watching Inspector Scudder get up and walk towards the entrance, sighing in his heart at this man's admirable work attitude.He lowered his head, and then saw a string of water-stained shoe prints stepped on by the inspector.

Su Rui was startled.

"Detective!"

Inspector Scudder stopped, turned his head, looked at Su Rui who was chasing him, and asked strangely, "Is there anything else?"

"Uh..." Su Rui was at a loss for words for a moment, and his brain was running impatiently, "Actually, I recently quit my job in a cafe and am looking for a new part-time job. I... I can help you take care of your daughter. You are alone She must be busy at work and taking care of her, right? I can clean and cook, help you take her to school, help her with homework, etc. The children love me!"

Inspector Scudder felt a little displeased, "How do you know I'm taking care of the baby alone?"

"..." Oh, this is what the wizard Jeremy who listened to you told me, and I happen to be a Taoist priest, and I just found out that you may be in danger just like us, so I have to find a way to get close to you to find out about the situation.

"Your ring finger, the trace of the ring around it is obvious. You must have worn it often before but not now, and you didn't mention your daughter's mother just now... I just... guessed..." Su Rui was very guilty.

"..."

"The price is negotiable! It can be in the form of an hourly worker. You have also read my information. I am not a liar, or can I try it first and then we can talk?"

"..." The inspector was silent for a moment, he looked at Su Rui carefully, until Su Rui started to feel hairy, then the inspector said: "Let me think about it, you should try it first."

It turned out to be? !Did he really fool the inspector? !

"Can you come over to my house tonight? Make me and Kate dinner and hang out with her to see if she likes you."

"Okay! No problem! Thank you!" Su Rui thanked Arthur Cole and Sherlock in his heart.

"Let me leave your phone number." Inspector Scudder took out his cell phone.

After leaving the address and contact information of Inspector Scudder, Su Rui reached an agreement with him to go to cook dinner for the Inspector and the Inspector's young daughter Kate at [-] pm, and then stay with Kate for a while and cook dinner The money was reimbursed by Inspector Scudder.After saying goodbye to him again, Su Rui called Jeremy:

"Jeremy, there's something new."

Jeremy doesn't come to China Town many times. Although this area is located in the center of London's West End, it is obvious that Su Rui is much more familiar with the road than him.They made an appointment to meet in Chinatown, and then walked through the red-painted archway with the words "London Chinatown" and walked into the novel long street full of lanterns and Chinese character plaques.

"It feels like a foreign country," Jeremy said. "So, Jevons, does this feel like home to you?"

"Hmm..." Su Rui frowned, and thought about this question seriously, "No."

"why?"

"Well, there are many things that cannot be bought in British supermarkets here, such as the seasonings for cooking that I will buy later, which is very convenient. There are also familiar people, familiar buildings and characters here, but After all, for me, all this is just a familiar sense of déjà vu, which is quite different from what our country really looks like."

"So how do you Taoists exist, in your country?" Jeremy continued to ask.

"I think everyone is in the same situation. After the development of natural science," Su Rui said, leading Jeremy into a grocery store, "The idea of ​​an independent world is now a recognized mainstream concept. The signing of the Space Development Convention also has our representatives."

"You mean the 1920 Convention?"

"Yeah," Su Rui nodded, "So just like you wizards have your own magic world, we also have our own parallel space. Our tribe is divided into four branches, living in four regions in China's southeast, north, and west, with our own I am a Taoist priest from the north." He changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your magic world yet."

"That's right," Jeremy agreed, "how about this, after we settle this bunch of shit, I'll take you to the wizarding world, I know some interesting places, do you want to make a deal?"

"Deal~" Su Rui said, "But we need to exchange information."

"What information?"

"Uh... that's the thing, what do you know, what do I do, what do we do with that thing if we run into it again, you know, we need a plan."

"Actually, I prefer to play by ear. Don't you think the plan can't keep up with the changes?" Jeremy said.

"Well, that's what it says, but we still need a plan." Su Rui insisted solemnly.

In the evening, Shu Rui arrived as scheduled and rang the doorbell of Inspector Scudder's house.

He put on a maroon sweater, a pair of black sweatpants, a pair of blue square-frame glasses instead of the contact lenses he usually wears, and a big plastic bag in one hand, dressed casually .

Regarding this appearance, Su Rui still had some scheming, he hoped that he would look a little rustic, so that the inspector could speed up the reduction of his suspicion, but this idea was mercilessly ridiculed by Jeremy:

"Seriously? You know what? You're like Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday trying to pretend she's not a princess."

"Shut up! You are the fucking princess." Su Rui scolded Jeremy back unceremoniously.He raised his right hand, his ring finger passed behind the middle finger, his index finger hooked the ring finger, and the fingertips faced down, pressing on the place about a foot above his left shoulder.He whispered a formula that Jeremy couldn't understand at all, and saw a cluster of air suddenly burning in front of the two of them, turning into a blank blue note. Su Rui stretched out his hand again and took the paper The bar pulled down, hanging in the middle of the air.He took out a writing brush smaller than a keychain from his pocket, and then turned two fingers, and the writing brush immediately became a normal size.Su Rui used his right hand to hold the pen, and changed the luck of his left hand to activate his spiritual field, and a series of smooth pills were written on the talisman paper.

"All right."

Su Rui stretched out his hand to take down the paper talisman, pulled over Jeremy who was leaning against the door frame, and patted the paper talisman on Jeremy's chest with a "slap", and then, the paper talisman fell on Jeremy's chest It decomposed into golden particles and merged into his body.

Su Rui looked at Jeremy without saying a word, thinking silently in his mind: Can you hear me?

heard it.Jeremy's heartfelt voice came quickly.

"That's good, this effect will last for a day. Then I'm leaving."

"Where did you get this pile of talisman paper?"

"There are some electronic versions stored in the mobile phone, which can be downloaded when they are used up. The physical version is sealed in another dimension and can be summoned when needed." Su Rui replied briefly, "If I find it when I go to Inspector Scudder's house I'll call you again when something happens or if something happens, do you remember the plan?"

"of course."

The door of the inspector's house opened, and Su Rui came back to his senses, showing a kind smile: "Good evening, Inspector."

"Good evening." Inspector Scudder was dressed simply, bright gray shirt, tight dark brown pin-buckle leather belt and slender baggy trousers with a pen pinned to his pocket, making him look like a home office worker. business people.He invited Su Rui in, turned his head and shouted towards the living room, "Kate!"

"What's wrong~"

A little blond girl ran to the door and poked her head out curiously.The little girl had inherited the same big eyes as Inspector Scudder, so she was the Inspector's daughter.Su Rui squatted down with a smile, and greeted this cute girl, "Hi Kate, I'm Jevons."

"Oh, you're that brother," Kate said excitedly, "what are you going to do for me and Dad?"

"Secret it first." Su Rui touched Kate's head, "but I promise it will be delicious."

"Okay, Kate, you go watch TV first." Inspector Scudder patted his daughter on the shoulder, and Kate ran back to the sofa in the living room. "Come with me." He said to Su Rui.

Inspector Scudder lives at Marylebone Flats in George Street, just off Westminster.Although Su Rui had already learned some personal information about the inspector through Jeremy, he was still very surprised when he actually came to the inspector's house. This area is the most expensive area in London, and the entire apartment of the inspector The apartment was bigger than Jeremy's mansion, with four bedrooms and three dressing rooms, and the kitchen was very spacious, but the decoration was a bit old, and it seemed that it had been used for many years.

"Inspector, your home is beautiful."

After the superintendent showed Su Rui a brief tour of the house, Su Rui said to him, "Some of the furnishings look like the 60s, did you choose them on purpose?"

"No, actually this is the house left to me by my grandparents. They lived here all their lives, and we moved here after we had Kate." The inspector leaned against the kitchen door and watched Su Rui cook. , while chatting with him, his expression relaxed a lot, "It's quite big, isn't it? This house really helped me a lot."

Su Rui probably guessed that the inspector was referring to the school district. "So your daughter goes to school near here."

"Yes, Hampden Gurney Primary School, she's in the second grade." Inspector Scudder seemed to be talking, "It's not far from here, within 10 minutes. It's pretty strict."

"Within 300 meters?" Su Rui guessed.

"You must live within 270 and [-] meters of the school, which is one of their admissions requirements. In fact, my place is slightly beyond the distance, and then they looked at my career, and finally let Kate Enrolled in school."

"Sounds crazy, have they already set the numbers in such detail?" Su Rui began to process the chicken thighs on the chopping board, and responded to the inspector in a vague manner, "I used to hear from my local friends in London that There's something about them going to school when they were kids, but the situation in the UK and our country is pretty tough when it comes to school choice."

"My job doesn't have a fixed time limit, I can be called away at any time. So I really need to find someone to look after my daughter. If she likes you, what you need to do is cook from time to time and tutor her. Homework, being with her and watching over her when she wants to go. Can you do that?"

"No problem." Su Rui replied confidently, "No matter what the result is, I would like to thank you for the opportunity."

"Actually, I'm quite impressed with you." Inspector Scudder said, "You were quite calm the night of the incident, so I thought maybe I could try it. By the way, what kind of food are you cooking now? "

"Three cups of chicken~"

Half an hour later, Su Rui brought the fragrant delicacies to the table, "Try it."

"Wow~" Kate's eyes widened in novelty, "Do we need to eat this in three cups?"

"No need." Su Rui could not help but answer with a smile and set the table and chopsticks, "You two know how to use chopsticks, right?"

The inspector nodded, "We ordered takeaway from a Chinese restaurant before." He beckoned Su Rui to sit down, "You can eat together too."

"it is good."

So far, Shu Rui hasn't seen anything unusual in Inspector Scudder's house. It would be best if he just got confused, but he can't take it lightly.Su Rui and Jeremy took it for granted that they were the only two locked up by the mysterious pool of water, but they forgot that the police inspector in charge of the case also needed to carefully examine the crime scene. Was he the first target of the pool of water?Or were there other cops on this list of potential victims?Su Rui had no idea, but he knew that the situation was getting more and more serious.

Right now, Su Rui has to try his best to get this hourly job at the inspector's house so that he can carry out further investigations.The Scudder father and daughter seemed very satisfied with the dinner. The three of them quickly cleaned up the full pot of chicken. Su Rui stood up and began to tidy up the tableware, "Let me do it. Is dinner okay? "

"Great." Inspector Scudder seemed amused. He gave his daughter a thumbs up appreciatively, "Do you still like it, Kate?"

"Well! Brother Jevons's dishes are delicious!" Kate said happily to Su Rui, "Will you come to cook often in the future?"

"Of course he can, if you like," said the inspector. "You go to your homework first. Papa and Brother Jevons have something to talk about."

Kate obediently ran into her room.

"Let me clear up the tableware later, you sit down first, let's talk."

Su Rui solemnly sat back opposite Inspector Scudder again, waiting for the inspector's decision.

"Well, my daughter seems to like you," Inspector Scudder looked satisfied. "You live in Elephant Castle, don't you?"

"I live on Percival Street now, Jeremy, another witness that day, is now my roommate." Su Rui replied.

"So, I remember you said that he is your girlfriend's brother?"

"Ai Li is not my girlfriend..." Su Rui was a little embarrassed, "But Jeremy and I did get to know each other recently."

"You are still in college, are you sure you have time to help me look after the children?"

"Well, but I may not be available on call, but my time is relatively loose and can be arranged." Su Rui added fuel to the flames, "It can be seen that you care about her, Inspector, I think the reason why you want to hire her I'm supposed to be just in case you really can't get away? Otherwise, you'd just hire a professional nanny instead of a student like me."

"Indeed." The inspector nodded. "You are in good condition in all aspects. You have only been here for a year, but I think you already know London very well."

"It's also thanks to the British friends I know, they told me a lot."

"How did you come here today? From your apartment?"

"Well, I came here by taxi."

"Let me reimburse you for the fare," Inspector Scudder enthusiastically suggested, "By the way, do you know that there is a taxi-hailing app, and it is more convenient to place an order with a mobile phone."

"I know, I'm using Hailo software." Su Rui replied, "So are we finalized?"

"You know that, Hailo, it seems that you already know London." Inspector Scudder smiled.

"I suggest we draw up a contract first, if you are sure..."

However, before Su Rui finished speaking, Inspector Scudder cut him off abruptly.

"Three days ago, on the night of October 21, when the body fell from the Sky Castle restaurant, you left the Metropolitan Police Department at 21:[-], and then called a taxi using the Hailo software at [-]:[-]." Inspector beat
