Not knowing what kind of mood he was in, Jiqiu visited Miss Marple again.

"How often does Mr. Campbell go out in a day?"

Sitting on the sofa in the living room of Miss Marple's house, Jiqiu asked with a teacup in his hand.

"Once every two days, every time around seven o'clock in the evening." Miss Marple brought out a plate of small cookies and put them on the coffee table in front of Jiqiu.

"However, Mr. Campbell would be out a little more often if that gentleman had come."

Miss Marple saw Jiqiu writing and drawing in the notebook she carried with her, and waited for her to stop before continuing to add.

"Did they go out together?" Jiqiu looked away from the notebook, looked at the dignified old lady in front of her, and couldn't help straightening her back.

"Yes, they would go for walks by the river when the sun was about to set, and ride horses to hunt when it was cloudy."

Miss Marple picked up her teacup and took a sip, "What an enviable feeling."

For a while, Jiqiu couldn't tell whether Miss Marple didn't notice it, or she really sighed, but this matter was not within her scope, and then asked, "Apart from that gentleman, has anyone else visited Mr. Campbell? "

"When Mr. Campbell first moved here, many people came to visit, and the village gate was blocked by carriages.

It caused quite a stir here at the time.But then the visitor becomes one person—the gentleman. "

"If you want to know more, why don't you ask Miss Lilith Buglis? She was childhood sweetheart with Mr. Campbell, and is also his fiancée." Miss Marple threw out a clue that Jiqiu didn't know.

"Miss Buglis?" Jiqiu remembered this name. She had seen this lady from the information given by Mycroft, but the information did not say that Lilith Buglis and Rimbaud Campbell were childhood sweethearts.

If this sentence came from another old lady, she would have to investigate and collect evidence, but since it was said by Miss Marple, the authenticity is very high.

"Yes. Miss Buglis will attend Mr. Campbell's funeral in St. Mary Mead Village in two days." Miss Marple watched Jiqiu patiently and took notes.

"Thank you for your help." Jiqiu stood up and bowed slightly to Miss Marple, "I still have something to do, please allow me to leave first."

"You don't need to be so polite, I would also like to thank you for spending this pleasant afternoon tea time with me." Miss Marple had a smile on her lips, and her kind smile made it impossible to associate the old lady next door with the investigation .

"No, I was the one asking the question just now." Jiqiu's spirit of respecting the old and loving the young in his previous life came out, and he reached into his trouser pocket and took out, "Here is my business card, if you need any help You can find me at 221B Baker Street."

In her eyes, no matter how strong the detective skills Miss Marple described in the book, she could truly feel that she was an old man who needed care when she actually stood in front of the old lady.

"If I'm not here, you can say hello to Mrs. Hudson. She is my landlady. She is about your age. She has a good temper and likes to cook for others on weekdays.

I am usually on the go, and Mrs. Hudson is usually home alone, and I think she would be very pleased if you would call on me. " Jiqiu babbled a lot.

Miss Marple listened to the whole thing quietly, and waited until the end of Jiqiu's words before speaking. Her voice was soft and gentle, "Okay, then I am looking forward to visiting 221B Baker Street."

It was only after Jiqiu left the village of St. Mary Mead that Miss Marple and 221B Baker Street, what kind of magical linkage is this!
