My years as a menswear boss

"Sheriff Williams?" Jiqiu walked downstairs after his lunch break and saw a familiar face in the hall, "Why did you come to Darcy Manor?"

"Oh, Hyde!" Sergeant Williams raised his hat, "I have some investigation needs, so come and listen to me."

Jiqiu glanced at Darcy and saw that he had no objection, so he followed the two of them to the living room.

"Take the liberty to come to visit. If the case is not at an impasse, we don't want to cause too much panic." Sergeant Williams took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"We will try our best to cooperate with your work." Darcy poured a glass of white wine to Sergeant Williams, "You don't look very good."

"It's just some troublesome people." Sergeant Williams took the goblet and drank it in one gulp. If it wasn't for work, he really didn't want to come to the noble district to investigate the case. The eyes of these noble gentlemen seem to grow on the top of their heads. On top of that, a high-ranking look made Sergeant Williams harden his fist.

'I'm really not suitable for brain work. Sergeant Williams reaffirmed his initial thought that one or two more visits would cause someone to speak ill of him to Monsieur Ezio.

"Managing a police station must be hard work, Sergeant Williams." Jiqiu looked at the gloomy bear with some sympathy in his heart.

"Fortunately, I'm used to it." In just a few months, the man's edges and corners have been worn away, and Williams has become much smoother than before.

"Well, I'm doing business to ask a few questions." Sergeant Williams pulled out his notebook.

"Recently, has any suspicious person been to the back garden of the manor?"

"No, but because my father passed away, many people were invited to the funeral." Darcy took out a goblet from the counter and poured himself a glass of white wine.

"Who was at the funeral?"

"There are quite a few, most of them are my father's business partners, and some neighbors and friends. I can show you the list when you leave later."

The blacksmith George died the night after old Darcy died. The people in Darcy Manor not only had no motive but also no time. Sergeant Williams knew this too, and planned to get up and leave after asking a few innocuous questions.

Jiqiu, who was listening to the whole process, offered to send Sergeant Williams away.

"Speaking of which, are you going to visit Hilda Manor later?" Jiqiu asked calmly.

"Yes." Williams is happy to chat with people about matters that are not confidential, "I hope Mrs. Hilda can talk as well as Mr. Darcy, so that the speed of closing the case will be accelerated. And I can spend a wonderful holiday!"

'you think too much. Jiqiu once again offered her sympathy for a second. She was really curious about what Mrs. Hilda should do to successfully close the case without affecting them.

"Then I wish you solve this case as soon as possible, and have a relaxing and pleasant vacation time." Jiqiu said.

"I would like to borrow your blessing." Sergeant Williams put on his hat and rode away from Darcy Manor.

Jiqiu turned back to the castle, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Darcy looking at her with a trace of suspicion in her eyes.

"Is there something you are hiding from me?" Darcy's expression was not very good-looking, "You looked very strange the day you came back from Hilda Manor."

Jiqiu's heart trembled, "Is Darcy's intuition so keen?" '

"Nothing, you think too much." Jiqiu met Darcy's eyes without flickering, "I'm not the kind of person who endures grievances."

"I'm not here to probe your privacy, but I don't want you to be hurt here."

Darcy sighed, "If Mrs. Hilda did something to you, please tell me, okay?"

"I see." Jiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect Darcy to think in another direction, "You are really worrying too much, how can such a mature and beautiful woman as Mrs. Hilda like me?" Such a young boy. If that's the case, I don't think I'm at a disadvantage."

"You're almost an adult, Hyde." Darcy looked at Jiqiu, who knew nothing, and felt a little tired. He not only had to worry about the safety of his sister, but also the safety of Hyde, whom he regarded as his younger brother.

"I know." Jiqiu looked a little hesitant, but under Darcy's encouraging eyes, he still said it, "You look like a chicken mother, Darcy."

"Cough, cough, cough." An earth-shattering cough erupted from behind.

The two followed the sound and saw that the one who coughed was Bentley with an innocent face.

"I'm just here for afternoon tea, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." Bingley raised the half-eaten cake beggingly as Darcy's face gradually darkened, "Really, the cake is so delicious, let me I can't help but stand here."

"Hey, it's all because the cake is so delicious."

Bingley really wanted to try the new cake made by Mrs. Reynolds at the beginning, but he didn't expect to hear the scene just now.

The serious image of a friend in his mind was gone forever, and slowly changed. ...a no-nonsense hen.

Sometimes, Jiqiu suspects that he has crow's mouth.

"This morning, Sheriff Williams took Mrs. Hilda and her personal maid away." Barton said standing behind Jiqiu.

Jiqiu stood in front of the window, and from the position of her room, she could see a corner of Hilda Manor. Now there were many police detectives around, and a bunch of people came and went in and out of Hilda Manor.

"Sheriff Williams' methods are more powerful than I imagined." Jiqiu muttered to himself, "Yes, after all, the Secretary of the Interior will not be a fool."

The fact that Mrs. Hilda was taken away did not cause much commotion, probably because the detectives arrived too early, and a large area of ​​land nearby belonged to Darcy or Mrs. Hilda, and there were no people around. live.

"Mrs. Hilda is the kindest lady I have ever met. I can't believe she is."

The thing that hit Darcy Manor the most was Georgiana. Mrs. Hilda treated her the best female elders, and the relationship between them was not mixed with interests.

"Maybe it's just a simple investigation." Darcy comforted his sister, but in fact he didn't believe it himself.

After all, the last time Sheriff Williams came here, he only asked a few questions, and didn't intend to take him away.

"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding." Bingley also comforted at the side, "I don't think Mrs. Hilda is a bad person."

Jiqiu looked at Bingley with his head propped up on the sofa, and sighed in his heart, Bingley and Jane are so similar in this respect.

In the eyes of these two people, I am afraid that no one is a bad person. Compared with the complementarity between Darcy and Elizabeth, she is a little worried that the two will suffer a lot after they get married.

While she was thinking about it, she was observing another male protagonist, and unexpectedly, she was looking into Darcy's eyes. For a moment, she relied on her strong willpower and couldn't control her guilt to move her eyes away.

A word flickered in Darcy's eyes: You really don't know at all?

Jiqiu couldn't figure out why Darcy suspected her. Even though she recalled every bit of herself over and over again, she still couldn't find where she showed her flaws. Fortunately, he just suspected, but there was no evidence.

She didn't know why, Darcy was unexpectedly persistent on this point.

The look intensified when Sergeant Williams visited again.

"There are some things that require Hyde to go to the police station for assistance." Sergeant Williams scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Just when Jiqiu was about to get up and follow, Darcy stopped her with his arms crossed.

"Excuse me, Sergeant Williams. Has Hyde committed any crime?" Darcy asked stiffly.

"Uh, no." Sergeant Williams hesitated for a while before explaining the purpose of his visit, "We suspect that Mrs. Hilda was involved in the death of Mr. Hilda and the blacksmith George. During the interrogation, she said that she wanted to see Mr. Hyde is willing to speak."

Darcy's eyes moved to Jiqiu, his brows were tightly frowned, as if his child had been seduced by a bad woman, "You said that you are not familiar with each other."

"We really don't know each other!" Jiqiu felt wronged. She had even met Mrs. Hilda a few times, but now she seemed to have a few mouths and couldn't tell.

"It's okay, I'll watch from the sidelines! Nothing will happen to Hyde!"

Sergeant Williams saw that the atmosphere between the two people was gradually getting anxious, and he moved his body like a hill between the two, "Give the child more trust."

In the end, Darcy was still defeated under the two-on-one momentum, and agreed to Sergeant Williams' request.

After getting into the carriage, Sergeant Williams couldn't help asking, "Have you really only met a few times?"

Jiqiu had no choice but to describe everything he saw, of course omitting the details of the afternoon tea chat.

"I feel that Mrs. Hilda trusts you very much." Sergeant Williams said affirmatively, "My feeling has always been accurate, as if I found two wells opened in the back garden of Hilda Manor."

"What do you mean?" Ji Qiu immediately pricked up his ears as soon as he heard the interest.

"There are two sewers in the back garden of Hilda Manor. In fact, only one sewer is marked on the road map, and one of them is fake. The fake sewer leads to the real sewer. Their real sewers are real. The closed state of the sewer has deceived many people, and the fake sewer entrance is hidden under the rocking chair in the back garden." Sergeant Williams explained.

"Is it really okay that you trust me so much?" Jiqiu asked worriedly.

"I don't trust you, I trust Ezio." Sergeant Williams touched his furry chin, "That old man Ezio is very shrewd, he has always had a good eye for people."

"Does His Excellency Ezio know that you are talking about him behind his back?" Jiqiu watched Sergeant Williams bite an old thing, and his curiosity arose.

"Of course we were rivals at school," said Inspector Williams proudly. "We'd come from very similar backgrounds, if we weren't."
