In the evening, Arthur and Jabi attended the drinking party at Locke Manor again.
Looking at this kind of life of indulgence and indulgence all day long, Arthur had to remind Jabi: "This kind of life will only destroy people's will. I think you'd better find something to do."
Arthur really didn't want to see his friend turn into a parasite.
But Jabi said nonchalantly: "But now that I have everything, what else do I want to pursue?"
Arthur immediately retorted seriously: "No! You just have money. Didn't you say you wanted to travel around the world before? I am actually a little worried about your safety, but now it seems that it is better than what you have been doing all day." You have to be enterprising, and no matter what, it’s good to see the scenery outside.”
Arthur's proposal really made Jabi very excited. This turned out to be his dream all along.
"Dear brother, I will consider it. Of course it is best for you to go with me."
Arthur shrugged his shoulders, "That depends on whether I have time. You must know that not everyone is as free as you."
While the two were talking, Baron Locke came over and said, "What are you talking about? It's really enviable to see that you have such a good relationship!"
"Haha! I can't help it. You know that smart people always agree with each other. Thanks to you today, when my manor is decorated, I will hold a dance for a month. You must come then."
Baron Locke did Jabi a big favor today. Not only did he recruit more than a dozen maids for him, but he also had a group of craftsmen responsible for organizing the manor.
"I believe that, I will definitely come when the time comes."
Baron Locke drank the wine in his glass as he spoke.
Arthur looked at the room full of people. He was afraid that these people would drink at least two large barrels of wine every day. He didn't know how much Baron Locke had in stock. His wine seemed to be unlimited.
Arthur suddenly asked: "Your Excellency, Baron, can you tell me about Edoma?"
When Edoma was mentioned, Baron Locke's face immediately turned cold. Jabi quickly smoothed things over and said, "Colonel Bond has been in charge of Director Michel's case recently, and he specially invited Arthur today, so he also wants to go further. Understand it. Besides, this matter has been proven to have nothing to do with you, so you should not be overly nervous."
Although Jia Bi is usually careless, when it comes to speaking, he is much more thoughtful than Arthur. Maybe this is what he has been trained to do since he was a child.
Baron Locke sighed, his expression full of loneliness. It seemed that he was still deeply attached to this lover.
"It's okay. If you want to know anything, just ask!"
"Then what color are Edoma's eyes and hair?"
Baron Locke was surprised. He didn't expect Arthur to ask such a specific question. He couldn't help but think about it and said, "The hair is burgundy, and the eyes are blue."
Arthur nodded, both of which were the most common colors in Britain.
"What's her hair like? Is it short or long?"
"short hair."
"Then how tall is she?"
Looking at Baron Locke who was a little impatient, he still stood up and compared it with his own hands.
Baron Locke took a look, and then pointed to his ear, "She's probably coming to your place, what? Haven't you found her yet?"
Arthur lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and replied calmly: "Not yet, but I think it will be soon."
The next day, Arthur and Jabi had just had breakfast when Bond hurried in.
"No, someone told me this morning that the lawyer committed suicide in prison last night."
"How could someone die when there were so many Scotland Yard police officers watching?"
Jabi said with some disbelief that the news made him feel that the whole of London had become unsafe.
Contrary to what he thought, Arthur was most unsafe at Scotland Yard.
"In this case, there must be someone at Scotland Yard who can handle it."
Even Jabi now saw the problem, but neither Arthur nor Bond said a word.
Because they all know that going to trouble with the Scotland Yard police is not a good idea now.
So Bond simply threw up his hands and said, "What do we do now?"
Arthur shook his head helplessly, "Now we can only wait."
Bond was confused, "What are we waiting for?"
"Waiting for the case to continue happening!"
"What? Another case will happen?"
Bond asked in great surprise.
"That's for sure! Otherwise, why didn't she escape from London and kill the lawyer? She must be carrying an important mission."
When Arthur said this, Bond began to think rapidly in his head.
But after thinking a lot, I didn't think of any major events.
Arthur couldn't help but remind him: "Are there any big figures coming to London recently?"
Bond scratched his head, "No! I didn't hear that any big shot is coming to visit England!"
"Why not? I heard a few days ago that the Grand Duke of the Rhine, Friedrich Ludwig, was coming to London."
Jabi suddenly interrupted at this time.
Bond nodded, "I know this too. It's just because Princess Alice is sick and he came here to visit her."
Ludwig IV and Princess Alice had been married for more than thirty years. This time Princess Alice returned to her parents' home, but unexpectedly she fell ill.
Arthur couldn't help but frowned, "It seems that Princess Alice's condition is quite serious, otherwise Friedrich Ludwig would not have been allowed to come to England in person."
"So you are not guessing that the spy wants to attack the Grand Duke of the Rhine, right?"
It's really hard to say. There are many people in Austria who hate His Highness.
Arthur lit up his pipe again out of habit and took a long drag.
"What the lawyer said at the beginning was that they were from France. This should be correct."
"Are you saying that France wants to blame Britain and provoke a war with Germany?"
Arthur did not answer, but Jabi shrugged his shoulders, "Who made Britain and Germany get closer and closer in recent years? This made France in the middle feel very uneasy."
Bond also nodded and looked back at Arthur, "Then will you go to MI6 with me?"
Arthur shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want to get involved in such a big thing."
Seeing Arthur's determined look, Bond sighed and hurried out.
"Isn't Arthur worried that things will get serious? Maybe it will lead to a war?"
Arthur looked at the expensive pipe in his hand and shook his head calmly, "We are just ordinary people. Such big things are not what we should care about."
That's what Jabi asked. He didn't even care about himself, so how could he care about a country.
At this moment, a maid came in and said, "There is a woman outside who wants to apply for a job as a housekeeper."
Jabi and Arthur couldn't help but look at each other. The newspaper that was just sent out yesterday did not expect a response today.
"Bring her in quickly."
The maid soon brought in a woman with a very good figure and good looks.
The woman entered the room and performed a skirt-pulling ceremony with the two of them. Her movements were obviously a little slow due to unfamiliarity.
But Jabi could no longer see these things, he was completely attracted by the beauty of the woman in front of him.
Arthur coughed, and seeing that Jabi had not yet responded, he asked directly: "Excuse me, Miss, how old are you this year?"
She covered her mouth with her hands and said, "I am 22 years old this year."
Before he could say anything else, Arthur interrupted directly: "Sorry, at your age, I'm afraid you are not qualified for the job of a housekeeper."
After speaking, Arthur gestured to the maid. The maid had already looked at this woman and immediately asked her out if she didn't like her.
Jia Bi was a little anxious, "Why don't you ask her more? Didn't you say you were looking for someone younger?"
Arthur couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "I said young, and that's relative. This woman is only 22 years old. She has no management experience, and judging from her thick foundation, she should be a Broadway actor. You Don’t you want to imitate the old Basel?”
Speaking of Basel, Jabi immediately became honest. As expected, it was the Fraser family that hurt him the most.
What the two of them didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. After that woman left, countless women of all kinds began to apply for jobs.
Arthur couldn't help but joked: "I feel as if women all over the world are riding on trains, rushing to you."
This sentence frightened Jabi, "Do you think Elizabeth will also know the news? Will she think too much about it?"
"Maybe! Although Kent County is in the countryside, it is also on the side of London. You'd better think about how to deal with Elizabeth!"
"Then forget it! Let's withdraw the recruitment, right?"
They had met a lot of people that day, most of them were attracted by the playboy Jabi, and few of them were really talented.
Jabi felt a little tired, but Arthur had to go to every interview in person.
"Isn't this great? We will select the best and we will eventually select the best housekeeper for you."
"hope so!"
In this way, the two met with countless applicants in the past two days, but none of them met the requirements in the newspaper.
What's even more bizarre is that, according to some people, there are women from further away who are forming a group and rushing towards Hot Spring Castle.
Jabi was really shocked now. After failing in another interview, Jabi finally raised his hand, "I can't do it anymore. This job is yours! I'm going to pick up Elizabeth."
With that said, he hurriedly escaped from the manor. Arthur also wiped the sweat from his forehead. He did not expect that the person he was waiting for would be so patient.
At this time, Bond came to the door again, "Arthur! I'm sorry, I have already reported your guess."
Arthur couldn't help but patted his head, "So your commander wants to see me?"
Unexpectedly, Bond shook his head, "No! Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you!"
