The police from Scotland Yard quickly arrived at the manor. The identity of the deceased was not simple, especially since Michelle was their immediate boss.
James Bond couldn't help but said: "This case will cause a sensation in London tomorrow."
Jabi was open-minded, and it would not affect his being sealed tomorrow anyway, but Arthur was asked a few more questions by the police.
Because he had interacted with Michelle before, but Arthur had an alibi, so after a brief inquiry, he was not considered a focus of attention.
The police waited in the manor until midnight before letting the guests staying in the manor go back to their rooms, and Arthur did not experience soul wandering again that night.
The next day, Jabi started to arrange his clothes very early. Arthur looked at his handsome face and couldn't help but said teasingly: "I hope you will not be left in the palace by Her Majesty the Queen."
These words were somewhat disrespectful to the Queen, and Jabi was even more shocked, "No way! I heard that Queen Victoria seems to be 50 years old. But if it looks good, maybe I don't mind."
Since taking over the throne, Queen Victoria has many things to praise, but her appearance is the only one she doesn't have. But since the Queen believes she is good-looking, it shouldn't be too bad.
Just when Arthur wanted to sleep again, Baron Locke hurried in.
"Doyle, Her Majesty the Queen has sent a message asking you and Jabi to go to Buckingham Palace for an audience."
It seems that someone reported his trip to London to the Queen.
Arthur couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't want to go.
Jabi was very happy to see Arthur coming with him, but when he arrived at Buckingham Palace, he discovered that they were not summoned together.
Jabi was the first to go in, while Arthur had to wait outside. It took almost two hours before Jabi walked out of the palace.
Seeing the mixed expression on his face, Arthur felt a tingle in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of situation he encountered in the palace.
As soon as Jabi came out, Arthur walked in. In the large palace, the queen was sitting on the throne.
At this time, Arthur finally understood why Jabi had that expression.
Queen Victoria is less than 1.5 meters tall. Sitting on the throne, her short, thick legs can barely reach the ground.
Not only does she look average, she also has a pair of protruding goldfish eyes. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't have the temperament of a queen.
Fortunately, Arthur can control his emotions very well, and he never judges others by their appearance.
When he came to Victoria, because he was not a nobleman, he just put his right hand on his chest, bent down and performed a common courtesy, but he was more respectful.
"Dear Her Majesty the Queen, thank you for your summons!"
"Get up! Boy, you are our hero in Great Britain."
Queen Victoria's voice is very kind, like that of an elder, which makes people feel good about her unconsciously.
"You have honored your Majesty."
Arthur has never been a good conversationalist. After he finished answering, he began to stand there in silence.
Victoria was observing him carefully. She now regarded Arthur as the kind of scholar who only did research.
This type of talent is exactly what she likes the most, because this kind of people rarely make trouble and are not very interested in politics. They will only silently contribute to the British Empire.
She now regretted not knighting Arthur.
"I heard that you are about to graduate. What are your plans in the future? Professor Rand Smith from King's College mentioned you to me some time ago. He hopes that you can go to him to continue your studies."
"I haven't thought about it yet, Your Majesty, but King's College is not within the scope of my consideration."
Arthur didn't hesitate at all and directly rejected Queen Victoria's invitation.
He thought that his straightforward refusal would arouse the Queen's displeasure. Unexpectedly, Victoria just nodded gently, and then smiled and comforted: "You are an outstanding talent in our UK. No matter what you do in the future, I will support it." You, so please don’t have any worries.”
This sentence is very heart-warming, and what the Queen said was that she would support, not the country.
At this moment, Arthur had the urge to die in danger to repay the king.
When he walked out of Buckingham Palace and looked back at the glorious palace, Arthur couldn't help but sigh: "He is indeed a man who can push the British Isles into an empire on which the sun never sets. He is really powerful."
But Jabi, who had accepted the title of earl outside the door, was still troubled.
Arthur looked at his face and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Jabi seemed to have been severely hit, and replied decadently: "My illusions are shattered. If you know that the queen looks like this, I would rather not accept this title."
No wonder, the title is conferred by the royal family. When receiving the honor, he had to kneel down on one knee and then swear allegiance to the Queen. It is hard to imagine what Jabi looked like when he swore allegiance to Victoria after seeing her.
"Don't be so superficial all the time, okay? What a country needs more is the queen's ability, not her beauty."
Jabi curled his lips, "Then why can't we have both beauty and ability!"
Arthur ignored him speechlessly, and the two returned to Locke Manor.
"Welcome back, Lord Fraser."
According to the title, the earl is the natural leader of the baron, but this system no longer exists.
However, Baron Locke still envied Jabi very much. His baronship was not hereditary, and no matter how great his contribution was, he could not be promoted to the position of earl again.
Originally, he was thinking of holding a banquet to celebrate Jabi, but a major murder had just occurred in his manor, so he could only put down the banquet temporarily.
But this made Jabi very unhappy, so he found Baron Locke and asked if there was any manor that was for sale nearby.
He really liked Notting Hill so much that he just wanted to directly invest in buying one.
Arthur did not dissuade him, but instead of going to look at properties with Jabi, he went to Scotland Yard alone.
This is a rare five-story building with rough black walls that make the whole building look more like a prison. As soon as Arthur entered the gate, he was stopped by the police in the guard box.
However, considering that he was well-dressed, it was not difficult for him.
"Hello sir! Who are you looking for?"
"Is Officer Keith McDonald here?"
This man was also one of the police officers who handled Alex's kidnapping case back then.
"Excuse me, do you have anything important to do with Inspector McDonald?"
The policeman guarding the door asked extremely carefully.
Arthur knew that if he said he came to investigate the case that year, Macdonald would probably not see him, so he lied and said: "I am a friend of Sir Michel. I have something to do with him today. Please help me." Find him."
