My years as a menswear boss

Just after dawn, Jiqiu took Patton to the Whitechapel.

"This place has been abandoned, we can hide here for the time being." Ji Qiumao stooped and walked into a house that was about to collapse, "There are so many of them, if they don't want to attract attention, they will choose to distribute them from different entrances. Enter."

Button looked around the "room" that was basically made up of two boards and one piece of cloth. He quickly stepped forward, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the only bench in the room, and put it behind Jiqiu, "Are you right?" Sir, we just need to sit on the sidelines."

"You actually learned oriental idioms?" Jiqiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and sat down on the bench.

"You once explained the usage of this word." Barton curled himself into a ball and sat on the ground. A slight movement of his tall body could make the room tremble a few times.

"Well, that's right. You're very smart, Barton." Jiqiu looked at the big black panther obediently tucked into a ball, and was not stingy with his compliments.

Facing the pampered boss in front of him, Barton sat there quietly like a painting, out of tune with the surrounding ruins, and was not affected by the stench at all.

The two of them stayed together from morning to afternoon, eating a few baguettes in the middle.

"It's exposed." Jiqiu looked up through the torn linen and saw the gradually darkening sky outside.

"Did they be taken away by Scotland Yard?" Barton picked his nose. He had been sitting here for a day, feeling that he had been marinated. "It shouldn't be, I didn't hear anything."

"I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about us." Jiqiu bit his chapped lips, "We were exposed, they knew our whereabouts in advance."

"How is it possible?!" Barton's eyes widened in surprise, "Only you and I know about this. I swear to God, I never leaked the news!!"

"I don't distrust you, Patton." Jiqiu sighed and comforted his panicked subordinates, "Let's leave this place first, and then think about what went wrong."

Jiqiu ignored the coachman's probing eyes and got into the carriage, and came to the intelligence point he had established with Patton.

The place where the intelligence point was set up was not far from the Whitechapel, and there were gypsy girls who were divining everywhere.On the outside of the intel point is a pub called the Pig's Head.

Instead of going through the front door, they entered through the back door and came to a room on the second floor of the bar.The first floor is an ordinary bar

Similarly, the second floor is the information exchange office.The bartender already knew Barton's identity, and led the two of them to an empty room, handed them the key and went out.

"Check out Melody's recent whereabouts." Jiqiu waited until Barton closed the heavy wooden door before opening his mouth.

"Melody?" Barton recalled in his mind, and then matched the name with an ordinary face, "The female typist of "Daily Interesting News"?"

"Well. She makes me a cup of hot cocoa every morning." Jiqiu sat on the leather sofa and raised his hands to press his eyes. "I haven't found such a talent in my newspaper."

After all, Jiqiu never puts important documents on the desktop. She has been busy these days, which does not mean that her observation skills have declined, and she has not even noticed that her things have been turned over.

"Maybe there's something wrong with me." Barton poured a glass of water for his boss, and said after thinking for a while, "I should be more careful."

"No, the plan to go to the Whitechapel was my impromptu idea yesterday. They only have NO.13 to gather together every month. If there is no 80.00% certainty, this gathering will not be cancelled."

Jiqiu shook his head and denied, "Besides, after you reported the information yesterday, we all stayed in the newspaper office and never went out, so the news can only leak from the newspaper office.

In addition, my office is some distance away from the working area of ​​the newspaper staff.I only ordered Melody to do this for me, if it was someone else, I would have noticed it immediately. "

"I will investigate this matter." Barton immediately thought of the investigation steps after receiving the order.

After Barton went out, Jiqiu rubbed his temples hard with a headache. Melody was the first batch of employees recruited by the newspaper and had been working diligently for the newspaper for a year.

Although she didn't recruit the person herself, she put them in after looking at them.In addition, according to market positioning, single women can live well on [-] pounds a year, so she gave a salary of [-] pounds a year.

Before Jiqiu figured out why Melody risked being expelled to steal information, Barton had already returned from the investigation.

"So fast?" Jiqiu was startled.

"Yes, you didn't expect it." Barton looked a little proud, "After I showed the picture of Melody to the children, Tom, the little waif, knew this lady."

A small head protruded from behind Barton, with brown curly hair and a dirty little face, like a puppy on the side of the road, "Hi, Mr. Hyde~"

"Mr. Carl, or the boss." Barton patted the little boy on the head.

"You are too strict, Barton. It doesn't matter what you call it in private." Jiqiu took out a few pieces of chocolate fudge from his pocket, and beckoned to Tom, "Do you have anything to say?"

Little Tom carefully took the fudge with both hands and put it in his pocket, with a childish voice, "I know her, sir. She is a very kind lady!"

Looking at the young boss with encouraging eyes, he summoned up the courage to continue, "Every month this lady will come to Whitechapel and bring some food for us from time to time."

"Is she alone?" Jiqiu twirled a small coin between her fingers.

"No." Little Tom glanced at the coins in Jiqiu's hand and continued, "There are many ladies who come to Whitechapel every month to distribute food and clothes. We will prepare for these kind ladies A small room, where they distribute things every time. According to them, they are nuns of the church and come here every month to spread the gospel.”

"Thank you for the useful news, little Tom." Jiqiu put the coin on the little boy's little hand with dirt, "You can go."

After Little Tom left, Barton said, "Shall we return to the agency now?"

"Of course." Jiqiu stood up.

Barton had already prepared the carriage, and they saved a lot of time by returning to the newspaper office, and returned to the newspaper office before all the staff got off work.

"Ask Melody to make a cup of coffee and deliver it to my office." Jiqiu strode into the newspaper office and said to the employees who were working hard.

"Sir, Melody is on leave today." Emily stopped Jiqiu.

Jiqiu turned around slowly, "Ask for leave? What's the reason?"

"She's not feeling well, and she asked for leave before she got off work yesterday, and Frank approved it," Emily said.

Jiqiu suddenly thought that for the newspaper, she was just a hands-off shopkeeper, and all things were left to the editor-in-chief Frank to decide.

Frank, who came over after hearing the sound, looked anxious, "What happened, sir?"

Jiqiu looked at the editor-in-chief who looked a little uneasy, and knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, "It's okay, it's just that the coffee made by Melody is delicious, I'm just used to it."

"I think as a benevolent boss, I should pay a visit. After all, Melody is a very caring employee." Jiqiu added.

Although Frank was a little unbelievable, but thinking that the little boss was indeed a very kind gentleman, he thought about it for a while, and still

Gave him his address and phone number.

After Jiqiu got the call, he immediately took Patton to the address given by Frank, but as expected, he missed it.

"She's gone." Barton checked the room. There were a lot of clothes scattered on the bed. It could be seen that he left in a hurry and only brought the necessary supplies.

"Does she have any relatives?" Jiqiu fiddled with the blooming sunflowers on the closet. It can be seen that this single lady lives a very romantic life. The small apartment is elegantly decorated by her, and there are small handicrafts she made everywhere.

"No." Barton shook his head, "Melody's parents have been dead for many years, and she has a distant aunt, but she doesn't live in London. Before she found a job in a newspaper, she had been wandering and living without a fixed place. This apartment is still in advance. It was only rented out with an overdraft of wages."

"Then where else will she go? For a woman to be safe, she must find a perch before night, otherwise the danger will be unimaginable." Jiqiu muttered to herself.

'Will her buddies house her? '

"Can we find the leader of this organization first?" Barton said tentatively, "I think the leader is among the wives of those scumbags."

Jiqiu's eyes lit up at Barton's words, "That's right, we can check the first person who died first!"

'The first person to be killed seemed to be choked to death, and he seemed to be a viscount. Ji Qiu looked at the memories in his mind, here in London, the nobles really caught a lot.

"Let's go back and tidy up our appearance before going to visit the Viscountess."

Jiqiu thought of the Scotland Yard police detective suit in her closet, "You also prepare a Scotland Yard police uniform."

"I've been ready for a long time, sir!" Barton replied cheerfully. In recent days, he has been immersed in the joy of investigating the case with his handsome boss. "After the day you went to Weaver Manor I went and got a Scotland Yard uniform!"

"Not bad!" Jiqiu patted Barton's shoulder affirmatively, but he was too tall. Fortunately, the careful big black panther obediently bent down to let her pat him.

"Viscount Carnarvon is a rare philanthropist in society and has always been very prestigious among the common people." Barton had a strong memory, and he immediately revealed the identity of the first victim.

"But he's a sex-obsessed bastard whose hobby is watching his wife get dirty by different people."

Jiqiu subconsciously touched the goosebumps on her arms, she was indeed disgusted at first.
