My years as a menswear boss

"If possible, can I ask you to go to America to help my friend?" Rose took the jewelry box in Jiqiu's hand.

"America?" Jiqiu never thought of accepting commissions from another country. Her current popularity is limited to London, or is it because of her reputation as a "death" detective.

"My friend lost a valuable diamond necklace. Only acquaintances know where she put the jewelry, but my friend is not sure who stole it." Rose took a sip of black tea.

"Just ask about this kind of thing directly." Jiqiu politely refused, and now she subconsciously resists when she hears this kind of family dispute. .

However, Jiqiu was also involved in the subsequent fight between the couple at the gate of the Warsaw Opera House. One after another, the client asked to check whether the partner was loyal. When Holmes was there, the client who entrusted to resolve emotional disputes was the king.

Rose shook her head, "It would be nice if it was that simple. My friend is a very kind person. She feels that if the person she asks is not the one who stole the jewelry, it will hurt the other person's heart."

"Okay. I accept this commission." I hope that after this matter is resolved, the heat brought by the couple will fade away. Jiqiu thinks humbly that she doesn't want the detective agency to become one that specializes in catching rape and looking for cats in London. office.

Early the next morning, Jiqiu tidied up her clothes. She wore a brown striped suit and a black scarf.

"Remember to send a telegram!" Mrs. Hudson stood at the door and helped Jiqiu arrange the scarf, her eyes revealed worry, but she didn't say anything to stop her.

"I will, Mrs. Hudson." Jiqiu carried a small suitcase, which contained a few changes of clothes and Isabel who wanted to go together.

After a period of uncomfortable flight, Jiqiu finally followed Rose to the country on the other side of the ocean.

"Are you okay?" Rose bought a creamy ice cream and handed it over.

Jiqiu resisted the desire to vomit and took the ice cream. After two or three mouthfuls, she felt alive. The planes now are far from comparable to those of later generations, and she really doesn't want to do it again.

"Sorry, this is my first time flying, and I'm not used to it." Jiqiu licked her lips, and the sweet creamy smell slowly lifted her mood index.

"It's okay. My friend asked the family driver to pick us up." Rose patted Jiqiu on the back,

To make her feel better.

"This is Mr. Foscarelli, the driver of the Armstrong family." Rose said, "This is Mr. Gary, the private detective I hired for Mrs. Armstrong."

"Oh, sir, are you alright?" Foscarelli looked at the pale young man in front of him, and couldn't help but doubt his wife's friend's gaze. Could he really find the lady's lost jewelry?

But there was still no look of contempt on his face, and he enthusiastically took the suitcase in Jiqiu's hand, "You can trust my driving skills to ensure that you will not get any bumps."

"Thank you." Jiqiu smiled and shook hands with Foscarelli.

"Can you introduce my client this time?"

After getting in the car, Jiqiu leaned against the car seat with her eyes closed, and gently pressed her temples with her middle finger and index finger.

"My friend's name is Sonia Armstrong. Her mother is Linda Arden, a famous American tragic actress. Her husband is Colonel Armstrong, an Englishman who has won the Order of the Cross.

At the same time, he is half American, because his mother is the daughter of Wall Street millionaire Wayne K. Vanderhold. "

Rose paused, "My friend now has two suspects. The first is her best friend who has played with her since she was a child. The husband of her best friend went bankrupt not long ago. The second is a lady she met at a party. Unmarried, both parents dead, with a large inheritance."

"Why do you suspect that she stole the rich family property?" Jiqiu's brain was running fast, but why is this background so familiar?

"Because only two people came to the room where Sonia put the jewelry that day." Rose explained.

"Why don't you suspect that the servant stole it?" Jiqiu didn't take into account Foscarelli who was driving. According to her experience in dealing with suspects many times, most people who have done nothing wrong will not feel that they are being raped. Offensive, unless you have a ulterior motive or a high ego.

"Sonia values ​​personal character very much. The couple has always been very accurate in judging people."

Rose turned her head out of the window, watching the scenes passing by outside the car window, "You will know when you arrive."

"Please allow me to intervene, Mr. Gary." Foscarelli glanced at the rearview mirror, "Mr. I've had a lot of family drivers, but Mr Armstrong's is by far the best employer I've ever seen."

"Well, I hope my words just now didn't offend you." Jiqiu opened his eyes and looked at the driver.

"Haha, no, detectives all have these professional habits, don't they?" Foscarelli laughed heartily.

Jiqiu smiled politely, and suddenly some clips flashed in her brain and were captured by her. She knew why the background of the client sounded so familiar. Now that Poirot appeared, it makes no sense that the case written by Agatha would not happen. .

"By the way, do they have children?" Jiqiu asked Rose, wanting to confirm her guess.

"There is a three-year-old daughter named Daisy, she can't get the place where Sonia put the jewelry." Rose thought that Jiqiu suspected that the children in the family had taken the jewelry.

really.Jiqiu's face was a bit dignified. Isn't this the famous "Murder on the Orient Express" written by Agatha, and she is just at the time before Little Daisy was kidnapped.

She can be sure that the client this time is indeed a very good person, otherwise, even after so many years, their personality charm can make people other than blood relatives respond to the plan and carry out the trial together.

"Don't worry too much, Sonia is not that kind of harsh client." Rose found that Jiqiu's brows were gradually frowning, and quickly comforted her. She didn't forget that this was still a minor child in front of her. America isn't just about helping friends, it's also about hoping the poor girl can get out of the sad place and relax.Increasing Jiqiu's worries is what Rose doesn't want to see.

"I know." Jiqiu twitched the corners of her lips, of course she knew that Mrs. Armstrong was a good client.

After all, the kidnapping of her beloved daughter has not neglected a young boy who lost his mother and loves to dance. Because of this, Jiqiu thinks about what will happen next. She doesn't know the exact date of Daisy's kidnapping.

Presumably anyone who knows about this will try their best to prevent this from happening.
