My years as a menswear boss

Jiqiu looked at Sergeant Williams with a gloomy expression, and couldn't help asking, "What else?"

"It's nothing." Sergeant Williams avoided the question coldly, looking at the ignorant eyes of the young man beside him, "Remember, never bet with Ezio, an old fox, you will lose even your underwear. "

"I've made a note, Sheriff Williams." Jiqiu also knew that if Williams didn't want to say more, she wouldn't be able to ask for any information anyway.

The rest of the trip was spent when Sheriff Williams talked about some interesting experiences of coming to Derbyshire.

The Home Secretary's ex-bodyguard is a good storyteller, and he can tell a very funny story about catching a thief who steals a wallet.Ji Qiu also listened with gusto.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the prison in Derbyshire. Before entering the prison, Sergeant Williams pressed Jiqiu's shoulder, "Hyde, remember. Don't be fooled by a woman's appearance."

Jiqiu looked back at Sergeant Williams' serious expression, and smiled reassuringly, "I know." After all, the meeting proposed at such a critical moment must be a big attempt.

The prison was dark and damp, exuding a lingering stench, and mice ran swaggering past from time to time.Jiqiu and Williams followed the prison guards to the innermost cell of the prison.

Jiqiu saw Mrs. Hilda curled up on the plank bed through the small door, her expensive skirt became dirty, there was no table inside, and the food was placed on the ground surrounded by a bunch of mice to enjoy.

"Mrs. Hilda, I have brought Mr. Hyde as you requested."

Sheriff Williams slapped the door hard, "It's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Mrs. Hilda raised her head from her knees, stared blankly at the window, and said hoarsely, "I want to talk to Mr. Hyde alone."

"This is different from what we said at first, Mrs. Hilda." Sheriff Williams frowned. "You only said that you would bring Mr. Hyde here!"

"But I didn't say just meet."

Seeing the sparks starting to rise between the two, Jiqiu quickly said, "Sheriff Williams, I agree with Mrs. Hilda's request."

Williams looked at the woman in the cell and smiled provocatively. He was a little annoyed, took Jiqiu's arm and pulled it to the other side, and said in a low voice, "Do you really want to spend time with that woman?" Room?! That unlucky ghost in the morgue lost his life like this!"

"I'm sure, Sheriff." Jiqiu said firmly, "Mrs. Hilda will make a request, but I have the right to choose to refuse or accept."

She is sure that her life will not be threatened. Mrs. Hilda is not really a psychopath who kills for fun, or else she has many opportunities to choose to do it in Hilda Manor.

"Okay, I'll wait for you not far away." Sergeant Williams raised his voice, and he also said this sentence to Mrs. Hilda in the cell.

After the prison guard opened the cell, he said, "You only have 15 minutes." Then he left with Sergeant Williams.

After making sure that she couldn't hear the footsteps of the other two, Mrs. Hilda sat up and put her feet off the bed to the ground.

"My current appearance is ugly, Mr. Hyde." Mrs. Hilda smiled.

"No, you are still beautiful." Jiqiu looked into Mrs. Hilda's honey-colored eyes, took out a royal blue handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to the down-and-out woman, "If you don't mind, please use .”

Mrs. Hilda took the handkerchief and looked at the exquisite embroidery and standard oriental handicrafts. She looked at it but it was useless. She held the handkerchief in her hand, "Do you have any wine? Any wine will do."

"I think you need to add water instead of alcohol." Jiqiu took the small flagon from his waist, "Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is not good for your health."

"I'm no longer a pampered lady, Mr. Hyde." Mrs. Hilda smiled sarcastically, but still took the small wine pot from Jiqiu's hand, and took a few mouthfuls of water to moisten her dry throat.

"You asked me last time, how can I ensure that everything I do is for self-protection instead of hurting innocent people. I think I can give you an answer."

Mrs. Hilda felt some strength in her body, straightened her back, and left the concrete wall she was leaning on, "The girl that the blacksmith insulted, her sister is now the housekeeper of Hilda Manor. I will never forget that day, this poor girl Kneeling at my feet in such a broken state, begging me to take her in."

Jiqiu moved his eyes from the excited Mrs. Hilda to his feet. The two mice had already finished eating the black bread on the plate. "What you want to say is that you didn't deal with the blacksmith."

"Yes, I felt sorry for the girl, so I reported it to the then police chief.

But the girl had no evidence that the blacksmith was involved in her sister's death, and the police eventually released him without charge. said Mrs. Hilda, "I knew I couldn't trust a person with my feelings, and in the end I just gave this girl a place to stay." "

"You have perfectly controlled your reason and emotions." Jiqiu watched the mouse under her feet aim at her moccasin boots, crawled over with her little nose, and began to nibble on her shoes.

"Until that day, Nancy's desperate eyes made my last trace of reason leave my mind."

Mrs. Hilda murmured, looking at the two little mice nibbling on the autumn leather shoes, "Just like you are doing now, Mr. Hyde. I believe that if I pose a threat to you, you will kill me without hesitation." me."

"I see." Jiqiu watched the two rats that had just bit her leather shoes fall to the ground convulsively, and then remained motionless for a while.

No one in the world is more regretful than her. When entering the prison gate, she takes out the chemical agent that she has always carried with her from her pocket and smears it on her handmade leather shoes.The recipe for the drug came from her famous detective teacher.

"Time is running out, what do you want me to do?"

Jiqiu looked straight into Mrs. Hilda's eyes, "I will do my best to achieve it for you within my ability."

"I want you to save Nancy, I can give everything I have." Mrs. Hilda's eyes were flushed, "She has never had a happy life since she was a child, and her life should not be frozen here forever."

"If you could only have one person alive between yourself and Nancy, how would you choose?"

Jiqiu tilted her head, kicked away the dead mouse at her feet, walked up to Mrs. Hilda, and took the small flagon in her hand.

"Nancy," replied Mrs. Hilda firmly.

"Why? She's just your maid." Jiqiu looked at Mrs. Hilda who lowered her head.

After a brief silence, Mrs. Hilda decided to tell the truth, "Nancy is not my maid, she is my sister."

"After my mother married me, she remarried to a second man and gave birth to Nancy. But this time she met someone unkind. This man cheated her of all her property and abandoned his wife and daughter. My mother took Nan Xi away. Xi led me to the gate of my first husband's manor, then jumped into the river and ended my life."

Only then did Jiqiu discover that Nancy and Mrs. Hilda have similar eyes, both of which are beautiful light brown, which should be inherited from their poor mother.

Looking at Mrs. Hilda's pleading eyes, Jiqiu was also fighting in his mind.

'Should I agree to her request? '

'If anyone finds out, it will lead me to hell. '

After a long time, Jiqiu heard its own voice, and it said by itself, "I agree to your request, Mrs. Hilda."

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Hilda rushed over with tears of joy, and hugged the handsome young man in front of her, "Thank you, Elvis Hyde."

Jiqiu hesitated for a moment, and gently hugged Mrs. Hilda. At the same time, she was a little puzzled, was that voice just now her own?

The moment they parted, the cell door was pushed open. "The time has come, Lady Hilda."

Sergeant Williams' eyes became sharper, and he secretly observed the atmosphere between the two people.

Just as Jiqiu stepped out of the cell, Mrs. Hilda rushed to the small window, "Mr. Hyde!"

Jiqiu stopped and didn't turn around.Sheriff Williams watched her face closely, not missing a single expression.

"Can you call my name once?" Mrs. Hilda's voice was full of hope.

"Good night, Gradia." Jiqiu said softly with his back turned to her, and strode away from the damp and cold prison without looking back.

Mrs. Hilda held the handkerchief in her hand, and slowly slid her body against the door of the cell, with a gentle and comfortable voice, "Good night, Elvis."

"What did Mrs. Hilda tell you?" asked Inspector Williams.

"She asked me to help her take care of her dog." Jiqiu stepped into the carriage and replied without any emotion in his voice.

"Are you kidding, boy?" Sheriff Williams exclaimed in disbelief. "She entrusted the dog to you just to see you?!"

"Otherwise? That Maltese dog is really cute." Jiqiu shrugged helplessly, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Oh, yes, there are more."

Sergeant Williams came to his senses, "Anything else?"

"She wants to change her name to Gladia Collins at the end, and she wants to have a decent ending by the way." Jiqiu continued.

"Gone?"

"Well, it's gone." Jiqiu waved his hand.

"Well, the last one has been fulfilled, and everyone there will be treated like a king before they die."

Sheriff Williams lit a cigar and took a deep puff, "I will help her change the name of the second one, and you can solve the first one yourself."

"You don't hate Gradia Collins very much?" Jiqiu was a little surprised, after all, this was a woman who had troubled him for a long time.

"I only hate scum." Williams slowly exhaled a white smoke ring from his mouth.
