My years as a menswear boss

"This is Madam's cloakroom. I usually keep my jewelry here." Susan took Jiqiu to a room on the right hand side of the escalator on the second floor. It's gone."

Jiqiu picked up the photo on the dressing table, which was a wedding photo taken by Colonel Armstrong and Mrs. Armstrong, and looked closely, "That string of jewelry means a lot to Mrs. Armstrong, she also wore it on her wedding day This necklace."

"Yes, this is Madam's favorite necklace, because it was given to her by Madam's mother, Madam Arden."

Susan took out several photo frames, and the necklace Mrs. Armstrong was wearing was the same.

"Does it have a name? It's called." Jiqiu stretched out his index finger and nodded.

"Adam's Star, 30 years ago, Mr. Arden bought this jewelry at the auction house and gave it to Ms. Arden as a token of love."

Susan followed Jiqiu's words carefully, "Adam's star is full of Ms. Arden's love and expectations for her wife. Its loss has made my wife sad for a long time."

"It will be found. Adam's Star is unique. The thief will not sell it immediately. It will take him a long time to find a suitable buyer or remove the diamonds on it and sell them one by one."

Jiqiu patted Susan on the shoulder, carefully flipped a few times on the dressing table, and picked up an earring with sharp eyes, "This is not Mrs. Armstrong's."

The earrings are drop-shaped pink pearls the size of a little thumb, and the small hooks are strung together with silver wire.

The earrings in the jewelry box were all in pairs, but it was alone. There were too many earrings, so it was normal for Susan not to notice.

Susan took it with both hands, "It seems...it's not Madam's, she only has a pair of black pearl earrings. It looks like it belongs to Mrs. Evans. She showed Madam the newly bought earrings two weeks ago. Could it be that the thief It's Mrs. Evans!?"

"This can only prove that Mrs. Evans has been here, and it doesn't mean that she took the Adam Star."

Jiqiu took out a black velvet handkerchief from his trouser pocket, wrapped the pearl earring and put it in his pocket, "I still need more evidence."

Just as Jiqiu finished speaking, there was a commotion downstairs, she turned her head, "Is Colonel Armstrong back?"

"How do you know?" Susan blinked suspiciously, "Did Madam tell you?"

"The sound of the car engine, the time from turning off the engine to entering the house to the sound. If it is a guest, the time will not be so short."

Jiqiu patiently explained that although the etiquette here is much simpler than in England, it is still required in the upper class in the United States.

"I didn't expect to be able to guess who's coming just by the length of time. It's amazing!" Susan looked at Jiqiu admiringly.

"It's just basic operations." Jiqiu scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, "Let's go down and meet Colonel Armstrong first."

"I'm Hamish? Armstrong." Colonel Armstrong, who was quite handsome, shook Jiqiu's hand in a friendly way, and his blue eyes, which were exactly the same as those of little Daisy, flashed a hint of disbelief.

But the colonel quickly suppressed it, and smiled a little under cover, "Mr. Gary is younger than I thought."

"Honey, don't judge people by their appearance, this is what you once said." Mrs. Armstrong knew her husband very well, and she immediately knew what Colonel Armstrong was thinking. "Mr. Gary is far more powerful than you imagined."

Colonel Armstrong raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiqiu formally, "I'm too superficial, I hope I didn't offend you."

"No, you are neither the first nor the last." Jiqiu raised the corner of her mouth, "I will prove that Mrs. Armstrong's choice is not wrong."

"Then I'll wait and see."

After enjoying a delicious dinner with the Armstrong family, she did not immediately return to the guest room, but came to the garden of the Armstrong family, ready to look for clues.

Jiqiu saw a familiar figure about to leave, it was Paulette Michel, she quickly stopped the French girl, "Miss Michel, please wait!"

"Mr. Gary?" Paulette stopped, watching the boy in front of her trot towards her like a deer.

"Can you give me a few minutes? I have some questions to ask you." Jiqiu showed a sincere smile. She knew that her face would have two shallow dimples when she smiled, and her smile would make people look sweet and innocent. , this expression helped her a lot in some commissions.

As expected, Paulette was moved, and couldn't help but smile, "Of course, as long as I know, I will tell the truth."

"Thank you." Jiqiu had the bottom line in his heart, "I want to know how much Miss Michelle knows about Miss Judy White?"

"Judy? White?" Paulette frowned subconsciously. "She is a friend of Madam who just dated. It is said that her father was in the oil business and passed away not long ago, so White received a large inheritance."

Jiqiu didn't miss Paulette's frown, "Miss Michelle doesn't seem to like her very much?"

She noticed that Paulette had never been called Judy White, even though Paulette Michele was not a full-time maid for the Armstrongs.

But she shouldn't call Judy White's name directly, after all, Judy White is Mrs. Armstrong's friend.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Polet realized that her address was inappropriate, and she wanted to explain something, but Jiqiu immediately interrupted her.

"I think Miss Michelle should like the work of the Armstrong family very much. As you can see, the loss of Adam's Star has brought a great blow to Mrs. Armstrong." Jiqiu paused and continued, "I will Keep the secret for you to the greatest extent, and guarantee that it will not affect you."

Paulette's expression was a little loose. She looked around and confirmed that there was no third person before she lowered her voice and said, "I suspect that her motive for making friends with Madam is impure."

"You mean she has plans?" Jiqiu looked at the gate of Armstrong's house, one possibility after another flashed through her mind, but she remained calm on the surface.

"I think she might have thoughts about Colonel Armstrong." Paulette threw a thunderbolt without hesitation, making Jiqiu speechless for a while.

"Don't talk nonsense." Jiqiu reacted and immediately put her index finger against her lips. After staying here for a while, she clearly felt how important fame is to a woman in this era.

"Mr. Gary, I know how impolite it is to say this." Paulette sighed, "I doubt Judy White for no reason. Once Madam went out to visit friends on a sudden whim, and Miss White happened to come to visit , I told her Mrs. wasn't there, but she said 'I can wait for Sonia to come back.'

At first I just thought she was too eager to have afternoon tea with Mrs.But after a while she asked me to prepare some dessert for afternoon tea and I agreed.

But it occurred to me that I forgot to ask Miss White if she wanted to try the cheese pudding made by Hildegard, so I hurried back and found Miss White going to Colonel Armstrong's study. "

"Is Colonel Armstrong's study the first to the left on the ground floor?"

Jiqiu thought about the layout of Armstrong’s house, and Paulette was so sure that there was only one room, because there would be many doors on other routes, and there was only that one door on the left-hand side of the first floor.

"Yes." Polete nodded, "Two days ago Madam told Miss White that the colonel would be on leave for the next few days, while Mrs. Armstrong was away, and dismissed me. I couldn't help guessing her intentions."

Jiqiu rubbed the pocket watch in his pocket, "Is this the only thing?"

"Of course not. I've been paying attention to Judy White since that time."

Paulette pursed her dry lips, "There was another time when Madam was talking about a new movie with Miss White, when the Colonel came back, and when the Colonel and Madam were intimate, I stood aside and observed Miss White's expression …I know all too well what that look means, because I've experienced it too."

I have to sigh that sometimes a woman's intuition is still very accurate, otherwise why Mrs. Armstrong would list Miss Judy White as a suspect, Jiqiu said in a gentle and gentle voice, "Thank you very much for the clues you provided, it is very important."

"If it's possible...it's a request from me. No matter who you finally find out who the thief is, can you let the Colonel and Madam know about Miss White."

Paulette felt a lot better when she told the secrets that had been accumulated in her heart. After all, she couldn't tell anyone about it. Even if the Armstrong family treated the servants well, her status was not suitable to say about it.

"I will, if the situation is true." Jiqiu smiled reassuringly, "They have the right to know the truth of everything."

She didn't doubt that Paulette Michelle would lie to her, after all, in the original book, she proved her innocence by committing suicide.

After saying goodbye to Jiqiu, Paulette Michelle hurried to her destination. She thought of the boy's exquisite eyebrows and eyes, his clear voice with a touch of magnetism, and her cheeks were a little hot. No extravagance.

Just seeing a kind of appreciation of a beautiful thing, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, are the British people so attractive?

"Porette!" A tall, red-haired man ran over quickly in the distance. His steps were heavy, and his menacing approach seemed to be seeking revenge rather than meeting his sweetheart. Anyone else would probably be startled.

Paulette Michel's face twitched, thinking that just now the boy ran over like a deer, and the man she liked ran over like a giant bear.

"Why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Although Cyrus Hartman complained, he naturally took the bag from Paulette Michele.

"Madame hired a private detective. Before he left, he asked me something." Polet looked at the man with a simple smile in front of him, and couldn't help feeling sweet in his heart. Hartman was

Apart from her father, she was the best man to her. Thinking of her father's serious objection to her dealings with Hartman, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I will try my best to work in the police station and be a reliable man. Mr. Michelle will definitely agree that we are together."

Hartman knew why Paulette sighed, and quickly made an assurance. He knew that Paulette's father had always been dissatisfied with him, but the fledgling policeman was not discouraged, and instead became motivated.

"Then you have to hurry up!" Paulette smiled and hugged Hartman vigorously, "Otherwise I will be snatched away~"

"By whom?!" Hartman pulled his face and made a fierce expression.

"Guess~" Paulette bounced and ran forward.
