My years as a menswear boss

Just as Jiqiu had finished sorting out the clues of David Weaver's case, Ezio's telegram was sent to the newspaper office again.

"Another person died?" Jiqiu looked at the telegram in his hand, then turned his head to glance at the "stone sculpture" standing quietly at the door, "Barton, go buy a copy of The Times."

"Okay, sir."

Jiqiu leaned back in the chair. Just now Barton brought an unexpected news. Mrs. Weaver's autopsy report showed that she did not die of disease.

"There were many bruises on the body, and the cause of death was a broken neck." Jiqiu closed his eyes and imagined the location of the bruises.

'She fell to her death from the stairs. '

When she was Sigrid Gary, she investigated a case in which a cheating husband conspired with his lover to cause an accident in which his wife fell down the stairs.

'Did David Weaver also cause an accident that killed his wife?What is the purpose? '

Jiqiu couldn't think of the reason. The information she got didn't point out David Weaver's infidelity in marriage, including his colleagues and friends who kept saying that the Weavers were very loving and happy. .But the suspicion of Mrs. Weaver's death makes these reports untenable.

Mrs. Weaver was born into a hereditary nobleman. Her maiden name was Lily Spencer. She was the youngest daughter of Earl Spencer.

Marrying David Weaver was also about love rather than marriage.It stands to reason that this is a rare form of marriage among nobles, and if there are no accidents, they may be the most loving couple in the world.

'It looks like we must go to Weaver Manor. Jiqiu got up to get the woolen coat hanging on the hanger, and opened the door just in time to bump into Barton who came back from buying newspapers, "Now go and check on the new victim, I'll go out for a while."

"No, sir. I don't need to check." Barton's words made Jiqiu stop.

"What?" Jiqiu looked at Barton's cheerful expression, which was completely different from his usual restrained expression. She subconsciously glanced down at the newspaper.

The first page of the newspaper was the victim's information—the heir of the Howard family, Ben Howard, was killed.

"This is that Ben Howard?" Jiqiu flipped through the newspaper in surprise, and the "Times" used a whole page to describe this matter.Not surprising either.After all, this is the heir of an ancient noble.

"Sir, that scum finally went to hell. I can't forget how he accused the groom Bolvar of stealing and ordered his hands to be cut off! Just because Bolvar beat him in the riding competition!"

Barton's whole body glowed with vitality, and he licked his lips excitedly, "It's a pity that I didn't personally send him to hell."

"If we were to do it, not only would we have to wait a few years, but we could only send him to prison."

Jiqiu squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "Now that your biggest enemy is dead, what are your plans next?"

At first, Jiqiu sent this seemingly honest man to the intelligence department to train him. He never thought that Barton would be a duck to water in the intelligence department, like a natural intelligence leader.

To her, Danny Button was a wild horse that could not be controlled, and it was not guaranteed that it would run away at any time.

"Sir, I want to continue to follow you." Barton's black eyes were like two obsidian, he lowered his head obediently, willing to hand over the reins to the young man in front of him.

Jiqiu raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to Weaver Manor now, you should come with me."

When she went out, she found that the carriage was already waiting in front of the newspaper office. Barton stretched his legs and walked in front to open the door for Jiqiu.

"How do you know I'm going to use a carriage?" Jiqiu pulled the curtain on the carriage, put his elbows on the window sill and looked at the man opposite him with his head propped up.

"You have been out for two consecutive days." Barton replied.

"That's right. What if I don't go out?"

"If you don't plan to go out, you will ask the typist to make a cup of hot cocoa and put it on the table. Today the cup on your table is filled with plain water."

Jiqiu thought for a while, and found that she hadn't discovered this pattern of her own. She didn't expect to be discovered by Barton. She became interested, "Do you need to reunite with your family? Ben Howard is dead, and no one threatens you anymore. life."

She thought that not long after she rescued Barton, Ben Howard tried to trouble her, but was blocked by Ezio.Those who are not yet in the House of Lords do not want to offend the Home Secretary.

"I...are an orphan. I was brought up by George Barton, who sold bread since I was a child. George died of illness a year ago." Barton said in a low voice, "I'm all alone now, and I don't have any relatives."

Jiqiu was silent for a while, and then said, "Following me may be very hard, far harder than opening a bakery. Even so, do you still stick to your current thinking?"

"Yes, sir." Barton's eyes lit up. "Following you, I have seen more scenery, which is far from the feeling that the bakery can't bring me."

"Okay, don't regret it." Jiqiu plucked her ears, she now truly has a subordinate of her own.
