West of the City, Westminster Abbey.

In front of the Garrett Mansion, the butler Mays, wearing a straight dovetail, was complaining about the gloomy and ghastly weather, which made him want to shiver in the cold wind. Mace had to hold back, let alone put on sturdy but heavy winter clothes.

At least three days a week, the Baroness will hold a grand party in the mansion, inviting friends and guests to gather and have fun.

On this night, the mansion was decorated in a festive and grand manner, and the baroness sent out countless invitations and called for countless services.

The well-known wind band in the fog, in uniform, plays soothing music for guests in the restaurant and on the dance floor, and is always at the disposal of the host to change the repertoire she wants to listen to.

In fact, in just two months, Her Excellency the Lady from out of town has become the most prominent figure in the city's social circles.

It is hard to imagine that there are women who are so addicted to social interaction in the world.

In order to hold a decent, even extravagant party, he did not hesitate to spend two thousand pounds to hire famous bands and chefs.

Baskets of china and glassware, rolls of wool blankets, bags of flannel and linen, and wooden crates of various sizes…

In the eyes of capitalists, banquets are the best place to negotiate a deal, and in the minds of politicians, it is a place to reach private agreements with potential allies.

But Her Excellency the Countess is neither in business nor too lazy to gain benefits through politics. She spends such extravagant money purely to meet all kinds of interesting men and chat with them in the room.

As the housekeeper of the Garrett family, Mace was really heartbroken. He knew too well the history of the Countess' fortune.

Money, from a dead husband.

Estate, from a dead husband.

Equity, from dead husband.

In fact, even the title of the baroness was smeared with the light of her deceased husband.

Probably, Mr. Garrett would never have thought that his reserved, thoughtful and perfect wife would become so dissolute after his death, comparable to the East End warbler.

To be honest, a woman who has several lover knights has already broken the lower limit of morality.

Butler Mays knew that the baroness kept in touch with at least twenty men at the same time.

"Sir, the storage room is about to run out of ice cubes. The chef team said they would bring their own, but it's not enough."

The housekeeper immediately came back to his senses and urged: "Go and buy it! Go to a nearby high-end restaurant and have a look. No matter how much the price is, the Garrett family will never let guests taste uncooled red wine."

Seeing the two sturdy footmen running out, Mace was relieved. He sneezed twice, envy those waiters who could stay indoors.

The hall, dance floor, and even every room are heated, and the fireplace is particularly hot, so that guests can enjoy iced drinks without worrying about gastrointestinal problems.

The only exception is the housekeeper, who must replace the master, or more precisely, receive guests for the Garret family and save the last face.

At this moment, Mays saw a carriage with a Scotland Yard badge coming to a stop.

Then, two men in dark suits, leaning on canes, walked out of the carriage.

Why are the police coming?

Moreover, it is still easy to travel.

The housekeepers who often attended the baroness banquet almost all remembered their appearance, but these two men looked very unfamiliar, and it was probably their first time here.

Thinking of this, Butler Mays put on a smile on his face and took the initiative to greet him, "Two, please post."

"Ok."

Lu Li nodded and took out an invitation card from his pocket. The whole process was extremely natural.

I have to say that this lady Vanessa is really lavish, and even the invitation letter is made of gold foil.

After quickly verifying the authenticity of the invitation, the smile on the butler's face became even more enthusiastic. He handed back his hands to Lu Li, looked at the tall police officer Wensley next to him, and said, "Sir, how about you?"

One person, one correspondence.

Although it is anonymous, the rules are very strict. Everyone can only enter alone with an invitation letter, and cannot bring friends or partners.

"I'm Senior Superintendent of Scotland Yard Wensley, and I'm here with Mr. Lu to play."

Originally wanted to say that he was going to ask the baroness something, but considering the confidentiality, Wensley decided to change his mouth and show his documents at the same time.

Senior Superintendent?

Mace glanced at the documents. Winsley, the senior superintendent of the Greater London area, had a higher status than the chief of police in some counties, and belonged to the number four.

"Gentlemen, please."

The housekeeper immediately let go. He summoned a waiter to temporarily receive possible guests for him. While guiding the way, he said, "I'll go say hello to the master and ask her to come downstairs to receive the two of you."

Wudu, where the royal family and dignitaries are located, the center of the whole world, the security force and level are the strongest in the country, and no one in a position like a senior police superintendent is willing to offend.

"No, my invitation letter is a gift from a friend. I didn't know the baroness before. This time I came to meet the world."

Lu Li told the truth.

As for the so-called friends, it was naturally Bai Yu and others. They followed the clues and quickly found out where the prostitute who should have died lived. All the origins, names and experiences were sent to Baker Street in the form of files.

In addition, an invitation letter is attached.

Lu Li, Pan Ming, and Duke didn't talk about who to send for too long.

First of all, we must send the strongest person. If the blonde appears again, we must strive to take it down at one time. In the trio, Lu Li is definitely responsible for force.

Secondly, in order to increase efficiency, the matter of going to the library to find relevant records cannot be delayed either.

With this, the grouping becomes clear:

Lu Li went to the banquet, cooperated with Bai Yu and others who had already sneaked in, protected the target person, and took corresponding actions according to the actual situation.

Duke and Pan Ming, one in charge of the Municipal Library, the other in charge of Oxford University and King's College Libraries.

In addition, Scotland Yard provides various facilities, including but not limited to contacting all libraries in the city, event funding support...

Especially on Lu Li's side, police officer Wensley was dispatched to carry a gun for protection.

Lu Li doesn't need protection, let's put it aside for now, just saying this attitude is enough!

Of course, it is somewhat troublesome to have an ordinary person around.

...

Madam Vanessa, a distinguished baron woman, is sitting in the dressing room on the second floor at the moment.

This 30-year-old noble lady is no longer green, and her chest and buttocks are as mature as her age. In addition, with the help of cosmetics, her already white skin has become translucent and firm.

If not, how could Jerry disregard moral constraints and be with her in the first place?

It's a pity that the younger cousin is still too young, and I didn't expect that the somewhat handsome baroness would become extraordinarily dissolute after meeting a "good friend".

Almost every day, the mansion left by her deceased husband is the most lively place in the neighborhood. Members of Congress, politicians, and young painters with some fame often gather here.

Probably to get to know more men?

Outside the door, a sneer appeared on Jerry's face, and he snorted coldly in his heart: I saw at first sight that this woman was restless!

Now it's even more undisguised, holding banquets and spending a lot of money to satisfy the twisted heart and nature in this way.

"My sweetheart, would you like to have a drink together?"

Soon, Jerry packed up his mood and pushed in the door with a glass of wine in his hand. Don't speculate, he would never do anything in the food, and he even wished that his cousin would live a few more years.

Although he was born in a viscount family, his younger cousin was a man who had no inheritance rights and could not invest. In the first 20 years of his life, he lived an upper-class life with his middle-class assets.

In the past two years, the capital chain has begun to break, and the life has been very embarrassing. Fortunately, the widow of his cousin came. He relied on a handsome face and returned to the upper class. Not only that, but also in Westminster Abbey. Bought a brand new single-family apartment.

"Of course, I haven't seen you for two days."

The Countess and Jerry slept countless times and paid for the man countless times.

In fact, this stupid woman who is not shrewd has several good girlfriends. They told her that the reason why my little cousin is so gentle and abandoning the so-called possessiveness is purely for money. If one day she goes bankrupt, the other party will throw it away. Abandoned her like a dog.

But this woman couldn't help it. Even though she met so many interesting and talented men, she still couldn't forget Jerry.

Especially when the little cousin is smiling like this now and wants to get a few hundred pounds from her, Vanessa will have a strange lust.

"Look, the viscount's son is wagging his tail in front of me too."

Thinking of this, the baroness felt an instant feeling, and drank the cold red wine with a smile, but the ice drink did not extinguish her heart, she drank it quickly, and threw it on the carpet next to it.

"I checked the time. Before the dinner officially starts, we can have a good time."

Jerry's younger cousin put on the sexiest smile and whispered in the lady's ear, "But hurry up."

Hands slowly reached under the skirt.

knock knock --

Suddenly, an untimely knock on the door interrupted the "loving" lovers.

Butler Mays did not barge in rashly, he stated outside: "Madam, there is a Mr. Mystery, accompanied by Senior Superintendent of Scotland Yard Wensley, to attend the dinner you hosted."

"Well……"

A strange voice came out, and the formulaic smile on the butler Mace's face instantly froze. He spurned this unethical woman for the ancestors of the Garret family, and cursed one, two in the room in the name of the abyss devil, Even three men.

The Countess got rid of the tongue that Jerry had just put in her mouth, pressed her throat, and said, "Scotland Yard? I have no connection with that place."

"I don't even know that Wensley."

Hearing this, the old butler took a few deep breaths, calmed his heart filled with anger, and said solemnly: "You'd better go there, it's a senior police superintendent, he looks very young, and he may go further and become a police officer at any time. Leader in Greater London."

"young!"

The duchess became interested, and at the same time thought of another mysterious gentleman from the mouth of the old housekeeper Mays, and asked curiously: "Is his companion also a policeman?"

The poor little cousin was pressed down, unable to advance or retreat, and felt a little annoyed.

"No, but he has an anonymous invitation letter in his hand."

In order to add some surprises to the dinner, Vanessa would often send out unregistered invitations to her friends, asking them to invite young painters, engravers, or other newcomers to join in.

At this moment, Mace has made up his mind to punish the baroness. As an old housekeeper who serves the three generations of the Garret family, he has no shortage of contacts, but he felt that he had not yet reached that point, and he still had some illusions. He hoped that Mrs. Wake up in time.

After all, domestic ugliness cannot be made public.

But the movement from the room made the old man unbearable, and either he would be tried by the law, or he would be sent to **** with a gun himself.

"Let them just… hang around."

"I'll go down before the dance starts."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Next, Mays was not in the mood to stay any longer, he responded and walked downstairs quickly.

When he came to the main hall, the smile returned to his face. This was the last time to maintain the dignity of the family.

Next, he will initiate a relationship, temporarily cut off all sources of income for Vanessa, and have a good talk with her, either go to the country and find a secluded place to do those dirty things, or die and be buried wherever Anywhere, just don't be with Mr. Garrett.

"According to the degree of debauchery of this lady, she may indeed be the next target of the criminal organization. After all, they like to attack the unclean."

Wensley sighed with his glass in hand.

them?

What is known so far is that the murderer is a blond woman with a pretty face, like the witch propagandized by the Middle World Church, who likes to harvest life by **** means.

However, Lu Li didn't answer. He sat next to him and looked around, looking for suspicious people.

You must know that it is already night, and in two or three hours, it will be midnight when the butcher begins to kill.

Not far from the two, Bai Yu showed amazing adaptability and had a great time chatting with various characters.

Whether it's a young painter, a banker, or even a well-known poet, this guy can chat with them, and with a handsome face that fits all aesthetics, it can be said that men, women, young and old can kill.

Therefore, Lu Li made up his mind.

He secretly made a gesture towards Gao Qian, who immediately understood, walked over to Bai Yu, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

"Excuse me, my friend is over there."

"This is a business card. I'll invite you to dinner in the future."

Although he followed Lu Li as a younger brother, this did not prevent Bai Yu from making contacts, and he would use it whenever he could.

After exchanging business cards, Bai Yu and Gao Qian walked towards the corner with wine glasses. There were many people, but they didn't show too much restraint or enthusiasm.

"Where's Zhao Feng?"

"Go to the second floor~www.readwn.com~ there is a toilet over there, and the target person is also there."

"very good."

Lu Li felt that it was a wise move to accept his younger brother to help with errands. It would save a lot of time and not have to do everything by himself.

"Bai Yu, I have a very important thing to ask you."

Under the gazes of the three, Lu Li's words were astonishing.

Bai Yu straightened his back subconsciously, as if he was willing to go through fire and water for the boss.

Beside him, Gao Qian felt a little uncomfortable. He is not weak, why can't he be valued by the boss?

Where did you lose!

do not understand.
