"Damn! Am I dazzled?"
When Du Yongxiao took Liu He into the new Bentley, and white butler Tom and black driver Jerry followed him, the old white man was completely stunned.
The white customer drinking whiskey was even more stunned.
The guests who poked their heads out of the hotel windows all had expressions of disbelief.
"Luxury cars, villas? Are they all real?"
"Oh, God, what have I done? I let a rich man go!"
The old white man was filled with regret.
Du Yongxiao sat in the car, looking out at the drizzling rain, not wanting to pay attention to the people in the hotel.
If you are in a foreign country and don’t want to be discriminated against, sometimes you still need to pack things up.
Although this is inconsistent with Du Yongxiao's temperament of keeping a low profile, he has to do it.
How did Liu He understand Du Yongxiao's thoughts? He sat in the car excitedly, touching this and that, and said to Du Yongxiao: "Awesome! How did you do it? Not only did you have a luxury car, but you also had a butler and driver. ?”
Du Yongxiao smiled, leaned on the car seat, closed his eyes and said, "The awesome thing is yet to come!"
…
"Wow, no way? Such a big house?"
Coming to the suburban villa, Liu He had an eye-opening experience.
There are also villas in Hong Kong, and his second uncle Liu He lives in a villa, but Hong Kong is a small place, and even the villas are at sparrow level.
In a big city like London, many villas are tens of thousands of square meters, and there are even castle-style ones that are tens of thousands of square meters.
The villa purchased by Du Yongxiao is actually not very big. It covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters and has three floors. It is a Gothic building with a small garden, swimming pool and private parking lot.
Du Yongxiao has only paid the down payment now, and has not yet paid the balance.
Of course, the bank is not afraid that he will default on his debt, and it will be deducted from his account in the future.
The white housekeeper asked the black driver to take Du Yongxiao's luggage out of the car.
As a professional butler, the old butler who was renamed "Tom" by Du Yongxiao was surprised that Du Yongxiao was Chinese, but out of good professional ethics, Du Yongxiao was now his master, and he had to serve his master wholeheartedly.
According to Du Yongxiao's request, the lobby manager also arranged two maids in the villa, one as a cook and the other as a laundry and cleaning lady.
In other words, in addition to Du Yongxiao and Liu He living in this villa, there are a total of six people including the housekeeper.
…
Although it is located in the suburbs, there are still some local residents living nearby, and there is even a large green rapeseed field.
Du Yongxiao liked quietness and had no intention of getting to know the people here. Before reporting to the Metropolitan Police Department, he read books at home and occasionally talked on the phone with his family.
The nearby residents had long heard that a Chinese had come to this villa, and that the Chinese was also a policeman.
These people were not discriminatory towards Du Yongxiao. On the contrary, they were very curious. Some naughty children even knocked on the door deliberately to see this magical "Chinese".
The weather in London is also like that of a naughty child.
After the drizzle ended, it became sunny again.
This morning, Du Yongxiao was in the yard, leaning under the sun lounger and reading the "Scotland Yard Training" manual, planning to formally report to the police station in the afternoon.
Liu He went out to fool around, pretending to be learning English with the local people.
The white butler Tom directs the black driver Jerry to change the oil in the new car.
The cook is cleaning the kitchen.
Another maid was wiping the sofa and table.
Sudden--
Boom, boom, boom!
A sudden knock on the door broke the morning tranquility.
"Who's knocking?"
"Tom, come over and take a look!"
"Yes, Master!"
The white butler walked over and opened the door.
"Hello sir!" A black man stood outside, wearing a straw hat and looking anxious. "I am your neighbor. My name is Jim."
The white butler was stunned for a moment: "Hello, Jim, what can I do?"
"Sir, I heard that your master is a policeman. A case happened here and I need his help to evaluate it!"
"Is that so?" The white butler turned to look at Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao nodded, stood up from the sun lounger and said, "Let's go, we are all neighbors after all."
…
Since Du Yongxiao joined the police force, he has occasionally handled some cases.
After arriving in London, there was nothing to do anyway, and it seemed like there wasn't much going on. Du Yongxiao didn't take it to heart. He took the housekeeper and followed the black man Jim towards the nearby village.
On the road, the rapeseed fields in June were green and golden, and the rapeseed flowers were in full bloom.
The beehive placed in the rapeseed field buzzes from time to time, and bees collecting honey fly around.
Jim kept talking, and Du Yongxiao roughly understood what was going on.
Jim is an honest black man who works in a nearby mine. Early this morning, he was caught by his neighbor Peter, who claimed that Jim killed his cat.
Peter is a well-known cat lover in this area. This village is located in the suburbs. The garbage is not disposed of in time, which attracts many rats. The authorities distribute a lot of free rat poison every quarter, but the effect is not ideal.
On the other hand, the civet cat that Peter raised was an expert at catching rats. Not only did he catch all the rats in Peter's house, but he also often helped other neighbors get rid of rats.
To express their gratitude, those neighbors invited Peter to have dinner and drinks from time to time.
Peter was alone in his family and got a lot of benefits from his own civet cat, so he treated this civet cat as his "son" on weekdays. The "son" came and went "son" all day long, which was extremely precious.
As a neighbor, Jim hated the civet cat very much. It whined outside all night or ran into his house to cause trouble.
In addition, Jim is black and Peter is white, so the two immediately became mortal enemies, and they often quarreled over this civet cat.
Now that the civet cat is missing, Peter's first suspicion is that Jim did it.
Of course Jim refused. He remembered that Du Yongxiao was a policeman and he heard that he was going to the police station for training soon, so he didn't care whether he was British or not, and came directly to him to help with the investigation.
At this time, many people had gathered outside the village, and everyone was talking about it——
"Peter would never wrong a good man, Jim is indeed suspicious!"
"Yes, he has hated that civet cat for a long time. Maybe the civet cat's disappearance has something to do with him!"
At this time, Du Yongxiao took the white housekeeper and followed Jim.
Peter pointed at Jim's nose and said, "Don't think that I'm afraid of you if you call the police here! You know whether the disappearance of my civet cat has anything to do with you or not!"
Jim was furious and stamped his feet: "You still wronged me?!" After speaking, he hurriedly looked at Du Yongxiao.
Everyone also looked at Du Yongxiao, the legendary Chinese who had just moved to a suburban villa.
"Is it him? The Hong Kong policeman?"
"You look so young!"
"Will he solve the case?"
The villagers were full of curiosity.
