My years as a menswear boss

Jiqiu looked up and looked around Bill Christie's rented house. It was an ordinary bachelor's residence. The bedroom was spacious, but the living room was surprisingly small.

"Has the structure of the house been modified?" Jiqiu closed the bedroom door and asked the thin old man beside him.

"Yes, Mr. Christie broke through a wall, originally there were two rooms and one living room." The old man replied tremblingly with his back arched.

The thin old man was Bill Christie's landlord. Even though Christie became known to the public later, he still did not leave the apartment he rented when he first arrived in London.

Jiqiu pushed open the wooden door of the bathroom, and the walls were surrounded by bricks and stones. Apart from this door, there was no passage except for the vent on the ceiling.The ceiling vents are small enough for a [-] or [-] year old to get in and out.

'No wonder Scotland Yard ruled suicide. Jiqiu frowned and knocked on the wall with his knuckles, solid and firm.

The water in the bathtub has been emptied, and the autopsy results of Scotland Yard mentioned that Christie had residue in her mouth, water flowed out of her nose when her chest was pressed, and the bright features of drowning.

"Does Mr. Christie like tea?" Jiqiu opened the teapot, which was half full.

"Mr. Christie likes afternoon tea very much, and there is afternoon tea time almost every day." The old landlord quickly gave an answer.

There are many envelopes scattered on the coffee table in the living room, and there is also a folded kraft paper box under the coffee table, which is full of letters.

For some reason, Scotland Yard did not take the pile of letters.Jiqiu sat on the sofa and flipped through the pages. Most of them were letters from readers, neatly stacked.

"Excuse me, can I take it back and check it?" Jiqiu tentatively asked the old landlord that he couldn't read so many letters here.

"Of course, Mr. Gary. I have known Mr. Christie for five years, and I cannot accept the fact that he committed suicide. After all, he is so... so..." There were tears in the old landlord's cloudy eyes.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Brown. Besides Mr. Cloade and you, does Mr. Christie have any other contacts?" Jiqiu moved the letter boxes together, and there were three full boxes.

"Aside from me and his editor, Mr. Christie doesn't seem to have any other friends... If you insist, it's his readers. Mr. Christie will reply to any letter that is not too exaggerated." Brown thought for a while, shaking his head and denying .

"If you think about it again, is there really no social interaction at all? Mr. Christie is a very popular novelist."

"About a month ago... a gentleman came to visit, and Mr. Christie was very happy that day..." Brown hesitated for a while before hesitantly said.

"Then do you still have an impression of his appearance?"

"Medium build, belongs to the kind of very inconspicuous person. But there is a scar on the chin." Old Brown racked his brains to think of this.

That man was so ordinary that he couldn't find it in the crowd, let alone saw him from a distance a month ago.

Jiqiu found that it was a bit difficult for a 80-[-]-year-old old man to think back, but he still got a new clue, "Okay, I have finished the investigation, thank you for your cooperation."

Jiqiu walked out of the apartment, summoned a carriage and jumped on it, "221B Baker Street."

Old Brown watched the carriage disappear at the corner of the street, and he was a little surprised when he came back to his senses. He didn't despise such a young police detective.

Talking to a child as old as my grandson for so long.Probably Mr. Gary looks too calm, he has ignored the age.

Jiqiu took the letter box to the living room, "Someone flipped through the letter box." '

There are three boxes of letters, two boxes are sorted according to the time on the letter, and the time in one box is out of order.

If it's Scotland Yard, there's no need to just rummage through one of the boxes.Bill Christie has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Towels and shampoos are neatly arranged in the bathroom, and the tomes on the bookshelf are arranged from short to tall.

'this letter……'

Letters from readers always refer to Christie as Mr. Hope, but this letter is Mr. Christie.

"Dear Christie, I haven't seen you for five years. I'm coming to London to visit my cousin. I think of the good times we had together when I was in school. I hope I can reunite with you and relive this memory...

your sincere friend: david hockley'

The letter was received a month and a half ago. Could it be that the man with the scar on his chin is David Hockley?

Jiqiu wrote down the address of the Hockley Hotel, but the letter did not mention the address of Hockley's cousin, so she had to check the hotel first.

Jiqiu took out a shilling from his trouser pocket, "Mr. Wiggins, please go and find out who stayed at 2105 in the Nickel Hotel a month ago."

The little boy in brown overalls treasured a shilling into his inner pocket, nodded and ran away.

The Baker Street Squad is part of Holmes' intelligence network. Before leaving, Mr. Detective has told Jiqiu that he can pay for the help of the waif.

Jiqiu focuses on bill kerry

Still's second novel, Moths in the Air.If "Moon on the Sea" is suitable for all ages, then "Moths in the Sky" is aimed at a group of young people.

It is pure and passionate love, but the ending is as tragic as the title of the book, just like moths flying into a flame, and finally ends in tragedy.

It still continues the style of the previous novel, the language is simple and sincere, and the heroine Hill among the moths is gentle and soft, with a good family background and self-cultivation.

Oliver, the hero, comes from a poor family and looks ordinary, but he wins Hill's love with a kind and sincere heart.

The mismatch of identities still drives the lovers apart, with Hill eventually marrying a viscount and Oliver dying alone.

The sugar contained glass shards, and was very popular among young girls. After the publication of The Moth, most of the readers who wrote the letter became unmarried girls.

"Moon on the Sea" is a carefree young man, "Moth in the Air" is a young man who wants but cannot love, and "Rice Field on Land" is a dull middle-aged man.Even the writing style has become sharp and steady, which is very different from the previous two books.

"The Rice Fields of the Land" is all about the daily life of a middle-aged man day after day. The life of a bank employee at [-]:[-] a.m. is unbearable to the middle-aged man. He resolutely quit his job and started working as a librarian all day long. Be with books.

Juvenile, youth, middle-aged, three completely different lives, very different personalities.

Firmly grasp the preferences of the middle and lower class people. "Rice Fields on Land" is really different from Christie's previous style, it's like a different person.

Jiqiu spread out the three books on the coffee table, and his mind was racing.

'The gap is too big. '
