Chapter 127 There Are Six More Famous Detectives Like Me
Butler Hubbard, manager of Green Manor.
His appearance is that of a middle-aged man, with slightly white temples, but he does not look old, but adds a touch of vicissitudes of life and composure.
In appearance, he is a very qualified housekeeper.
Hubbard ordered his servants to take Xia Yanzhen's luggage and led the four of them into the building. They were greeted by a magnificent hall.
The four of them were taken into the adjacent living room by Hubbard.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
There was a burst of loud laughter, and a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes greeted Xia Yanzhen.
This person appears to be around thirty years old, with a bright smile that is very contagious.
Warren An reached out and hugged Xia Yanzhen, patted him hard on the back to show his enthusiasm. After they separated, he smiled and said: "Mr. Lott Xia, the youngest and most handsome detective in Bahrain, welcome to my manor. !”
"Hello, Mr. An, your manor is very beautiful." Xia Yanzhen smiled reservedly.
"Hahaha!" Warren Ann is a person who knows how to laugh. "That's all thanks to Hubbard. I only stay in the manor for a month or two a year at most."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Warren." Hubbard bowed humbly.
"You are still so humble. Okay, leave this place to me and wait for the other detectives to come over." Warren waved his hand and said.
Hubbard nodded and left quietly.
"Come, let me introduce you!" Warren pulled Xia Yanzhen and began to introduce him to other people in the living room.
There are mainly three people.
A very beautiful, charming and charming woman with long burgundy hair and wavy hair, and a charming smile.
Philos, like Xia Yanzhen, is a well-known detective in Bahrain.
Her age is unknown, some say she is in her twenties, some say she is in her thirties, and some say she is actually in her forties.
In short, this is a charming woman.
When Xia Yanzhen shook hands with her, he felt Philos scratch his palm three times.
Could it be that Patriarch Bodhi gave Sun Wukong three invitations to meet him at three o'clock in the middle of the night?
Philos, like Xia Yanzhen, did not come alone.
There were also four attendants, or detective assistants, two men and two women.
"This is Bruce Turner. Mr. Xia must have heard of his name." After Xia Yanzhen and Philos got to know each other, Warren continued to introduce the next person to Xia Yanzhen.
In the living room, except for Warren, everyone else was either a detective or the detective's assistant.
Bruce Turner was a fat man who weighed at least over two hundred pounds when Warren introduced the two of them to each other.
He just smiled and did not divert his attention from the various snacks on the coffee table in front of him.
He casually picked up a biscuit and handed it to Xia Yanzhen as a greeting.
"Mr. Turner likes to eat very much." Warren smiled, "Food Detective."
Xia Yanzhen took the biscuit and put it aside without eating it.
The last person Warren introduced was an average-looking woman in her forties, who looked serious and old-fashioned, unsmiling.
It feels more like a convent nun than a detective.
This person's name is Yiwen, and he is also a well-known detective.
Unlike Xia Yanzhen and Philos, Ivan and Turner came here alone without assistants.
It's a relatively rare situation.
In the detective profession, it is okay for those who are not famous, and the cases they take on are relatively ordinary.
Famous detectives like Lott Chap face murder cases many times, which is quite dangerous.
A well-known detective will always have one, two, or even more assistants around him to ensure his safety.
"There are three more, and our seven detectives are about to arrive." Warren said with a smile.
"May I ask, Mr. Warren invited us over, what do you want to do?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
After arriving at Green Manor, the subsequent tasks were not started.
It seems like a certain condition hasn't been met yet? Are you waiting for a murder to happen?
"This... we will know when everyone arrives." Warren Ann said, "Before that, please allow me to maintain some mystery."
"Okay." Xia Yanzhen didn't force it, "Can we go get some rest first? I'm a little tired along the way. Also, is there a doctor in the manor?"
He briefly told the story about the White Emperor breaking his hand.
"Of course." Warren called two servants and took Xia Yanzhen and the others out of the living room.
There were professional doctors in the manor, who performed some more complete treatments on Bai Huang's arm.
Several people were taken to a suite on the second floor.
The structure of this suite is like a modern commercial house, with two bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and everything except the kitchen.
There is a double bed in the bedroom, so it will not be a problem to accommodate four people.
Warren, or Hubbard, the butler, obviously took the detectives' habits into consideration.
The best accommodation has been arranged for them.
Based on the area of the main building of Green Manor, it is estimated that there can be more than twenty suites like this.
Several people's luggage was also placed in the suite.
"Any changes to the mission?"
Several people were sitting in the living room, and Tao E asked in a low voice, wanting to confirm that none of them had triggered subsequent tasks.
"No." Big Furniture shook his head and needed to wait.
"Let's get familiar with the environment first." Tao E thought for a while and put forward a plan, "Go back on November 1st to find out the information."
"Okay." Xia Yanzhen nodded, "Don't forget to bring your gun."
There were a total of three revolvers in the suitcases of several people.
They belong to Xia Yanzhen, Gao Qiang and Tao E respectively.
There are also thirty-six rounds of ammunition, with a maximum of six rounds per revolver.
With three holsters, the revolver can be hidden under the armpit near the ribs and covered with a jacket so that it cannot be seen from the outside.
As a famous detective, Lothar has a certificate of legal gun possession.
Not the other two.
This is a loophole. After all, there is no rule about holding guns. You can only hold one. If something happens, you can say that all three guns are Xia Yanzhen.
no problem.
Detectives who work with assistants will basically do this, equip themselves with one, and give their assistants one - or even multiple.
Regulations are dead, people are alive, and life is more important.
When Xia Yanzhen returned to the living room, he saw Warren and Philos talking and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere.
Ivan was reading a book and not talking.
Turner continued to eat various snacks, and the snacks on the coffee table were almost wiped out by him.
Warren noticed it and immediately called someone in.
After a while, someone brought new snacks, which were different from the ones just now.
This made Turner, known as the great gourmet detective, smile and immediately promised Warren that he would get a 20% discount on any case he came to.
It doesn't sound like a nice thing to say.
After all, there is a case, which is not good news.
Xia Yanzhen came back, and Warren invited him to join in the chat.
Most of the time, Warren and Philos were chatting, and Xia Yanzhen listened more, occasionally making a harmless remark.
Warren was very interested in the detective's affairs and kept asking Philos questions about the detective.
I also asked Xia Yanzhen a few questions, but he used ambiguous words to prevaricate.
Xia Yanzhen is not a real detective.
The mission information contains character identity information, but does not give the detective relevant knowledge.
Xia Yanzhen's understanding of detectives only came from some fantasy works, mainly early Conan, supplemented by several new Poirot movies.
Too many words and too many mistakes will inevitably expose the truth.
Just pretend to be arrogant, talk less, and vent your anger more through your nose.
Anyway, it fits the profile of Lot Xia who became famous at a young age and is an arrogant person.
Warren was not angry at Xia Yanzhen's arrogant attitude.
This guy always smiles brightly and makes people very fond of him.
To be honest, when just looking at the invitation letter and mission information, Xia Yanzhen thought this would be a playboy second generation ancestor.
I didn't expect him to be a nice-looking person.
Chatted (listened) for a while more.
Hubbard, the butler, led a man into the drawing room.
Still introduced by Warren.
The famous detective who came this time was called Anger Doyle. He was a strong, bald man, wearing a white vest without a coat, and his revolver was carelessly exposed.
According to Warren's introduction, Ang Doyle was also nicknamed the Executioner.
Belongs to the "combat detective" among detectives.
The executioner, Angel Doyle, looked fierce and looked at the others as if he was examining the prisoners.
When facing Warren and Philos, he tried his best to show a kind smile, fully demonstrating what most men pursue-career and love.
Angdoyle did not bring an assistant.
His appearance and temperament can only be said to be more criminal than criminal.
Ordinary murderers will just run away when they hear the executioner's name, and will never dare to trouble him.
What kind of assistants do you need? You have to pay to recruit assistants.
It didn't take long after Angel Doyle arrived.
Hubbard brought two more men.
This time it's a more normal pairing - a smart detective and his not-so-smart assistant.
But judging from his appearance alone, Detective Reitz, who is in his forties, has messy hair and an unshaven beard, is not reliable.
On the contrary, the young man next to him who was in his twenties and looked sunny and full of energy - well, this kind of young man who looked very stupid was even more unreliable than Rez.
This kind of person often messes up things with the most positive attitude and full enthusiasm.
In contrast, the decadent uncle lived a legendary past, hiding in hiding from the world and hiding his sword in a box, which was considered basic.
As we all know, homeless people, high school students, and orphans are not characters to be trifled with.
Rez said hello to everyone without interest, collapsed on the soft sofa, and sighed with contentment.
Soon, the last detective invited by Warren arrived.
Ms. Grede, an old woman in her fifties, gorgeously dressed, an old lady, brought six assistants.
Except for looking at Warren, when he looked at each other and greeted the other six people, his brows never relaxed.
Not easy to get along with.
Among the six detectives except Xia Yanzhen, some looked like old-fashioned nuns, some looked like killers, some looked like prostitutes, some looked like tramps, some looked like cooks who couldn't keep their mouths shut and were fired, and some looked like Lafayette.
Facing these people, Xia Yan can proudly declare that I am most like a detective.
