Chapter 3 Manor

John recovered from the attack of the powder and motioned Liang Xi, who looked proud, to sit down. He looked at Liang Xi and said gently: "Child, there is an idiom in Chinese called Dazhi Ruoyu. Do you know what it means?"

Liang Xi explained: "A person looks stupid, but is actually very smart. He seems to have done stupid things, but he has achieved good results."

John nodded with understanding, sat down, and said, "I told you a truth: the one who laughs last is the winner."

Liang Xi felt vaguely bad.

John took the water from Mary with his left hand, and patted the back of Mary's hand with his right hand to express his gratitude. John took the water and asked, "Does the medicine have any side effects?"

Liang Xi replied: "Shortly."

John: “Can’t drive?”

Liang Xi nodded: "Yes."

John: "But I need to go to Reading."

"Oh, buy it. Mary?" Liang Xi looked at Mary and was fooled.

Mary stood behind the sofa and rubbed John's shoulders: "You know, I love this man. I can deceive the whole world for him."

Liang Xi was speechless: "Forget it if you cheated on me. Didn't you ever consider that such a show of affection would hurt my young heart?"

John laughed, opened the coffee table drawer, and pushed a business card in front of Liang Xi: "Contact Attorney Cook when you get to Reading."

Liang Xi asked: "Can I not go?"

John smiled: "Liang Xi, I know you like to be a detective."

Liang Xidao: "You have a pension, of course you can like to be a detective. Last year you traveled to the Mediterranean for a month, and I didn't even make a dollar."

John said: "But you read the detective agency book."

Liang Xi: "I can only study. Old man, today is not as advanced as it used to be. Do you know how advanced technology is now? Fingerprints can be pieced together from burned paper, and where you live can be known from the element content of your hair.

Too long. In modern times, detectives can only be a hobby, not a profession."

John took out the car keys and two fifty pound notes from the drawer and placed them on the coffee table.

Liang Xi said: "Of course it's okay to work part-time occasionally." He reached out and took away the money and car keys.

John waved his hand gently, indicating that Liang Xi could leave.

Mary accompanied Liang Xi out of the living room and said, "The girl who sent you here just now is very beautiful."

Liang Xidao: "We are not suitable."

Mary asked: "Why?"

Liang Xi picked up the banknotes in his hand: "Because he is poor."

Mary laughed and gave Liang a slap on the back: "Go ahead."

John walked out of the living room and watched Liang Xi drive away in his Beetle. Mary said, "John, you can give him more money."

John replied: "He has the ability to get rich, and he also has the talent of a detective. I worry that he will use the talent of a detective to get rich, and I hope that he can use the ability to get rich to be a detective. He will have enough money, but not now."



There are still more than a thousand hereditary nobles in the UK, but there are very few nobles with money and land. However, one-third of the land in the UK is currently in the hands of a very small number of nobles. These nobles are typical fiefdom hereditary nobles.

He is a true dignitary.

Cook, whom Liang Xi contacted when he came to Reading, was a lawyer who provided legal services to a very small number of nobles. A male assistant of Cook was responsible for introducing Liang Xi. After the two met outside Reading, the assistant said

Liang Xi was very dissatisfied and even called Cook directly. Cook reminded his assistant to treat Liang Xi politely.

In view of Cook's attitude, the assistant asked the driver to drive ahead. He got into the Beetle driven by Liang Xi and introduced the reason why Cook invited John to Reading. The assistant was not dissatisfied with Liang Xi personally, but was dissatisfied with Liang Xi.

Wear a combination of jeans and a T-shirt because the place where Liang Xi is going is the manor of a nobleman.

Earl Davis was the largest landowner in the area, a hereditary peer, and a member of the House of Lords. In short, he was a great man. This great man passed away yesterday morning.

Attorney Cook rushed back to London from France and arrived at the Earl's house at seven o'clock this morning. Then Attorney Cook discovered that the Earl's will stored in the safe at home was missing.

Liang Xidao: "The law firm should have a backup will."

The assistant explained: "The Earl summoned Lawyer Cook three days ago to draw up a new will. Lawyer Cook rushed to France to deal with one of the Earl's properties and had no chance to persuade the Earl to backup the will."

The assistant explained the legal issue. The employer had the right not to disclose the will to the lawyer. In this case, there would be no backup will. Because Cook was in a hurry, he did not send the will to the London lawyer's office, but placed it behind the portrait in the Earl's bedroom.

in the safe. The loss of this will put Cook in great trouble.

If there is no new will, the old will must take effect. However, when many people know that there is a new will, the old will cannot take effect. In the case of the new will being lost, the property can only be distributed according to the intestacy. The faulty party is Cook

The law firm will also be taken to court and face huge claims.

People who can steal the will can only be people in the earl's manor and in the inner courtyard of the earl's manor, that is, people who work and live in the main residence. There are eight suspects in total, including four children with inheritance rights and

Four staff members of the main residence. Cook contacted John urgently, hoping that John could help him find the lost will before he announced it tomorrow night.

Liang Xi persuaded: "When we encounter a theft, we should call the police instead of calling a detective."

The assistant looked at Liang Xi with a confused look on his face. If he could call the police, would he need to call you? Are you a detective?

Liang Xi was looked down upon and said helplessly: "Let's take a look and then talk about it." People nowadays have too little legal awareness.

What he said made the assistant who was uncertain even more unsure.



Earl Davis's manor has the style of a manor. Not to mention the dozens of manor employees who work daily, and the lawn that looks like a work of art. When it is said that there is a special church in the manor, it makes people feel that it is grand and classy.

If you have money, you should spend it like this. The Earl's body was temporarily left in the church. After the memorial service, he was buried directly in the backyard of the church, which is the ancestral cemetery of the Earl's family.

The main building of the manor occupies a large area. The Earl's main residence is located in the middle of the manor, and the building on the left is the residence of his children. As the Earl's chief lawyer, Cook used the reason of inventorying the property of the main residence to prohibit the Earl's children and other non-main residences.

Staff enter.

At the door of the main residence, Liang Xi met the manor housekeeper, a very traditional and typical British housekeeper. The security guard on the side asked for the car key and drove Liang Xi's Beetle to the parking space. When necessary, the security intercom called after
