0881 Maid Mary
"I remember I made a request"
Count Tells¡¯s voice was old and soothing, with a bit of British-style magnetism. It sounded comfortable, but his words were not very pleasant, ¡°I want the best bodyguard in the Thunder Team.¡±
He wiped his honest gold-rimmed glasses again and put them on the bridge of his nose.
Xia Qingcheng didn't speak. She just waved her left hand and her fist landed on the wall next to her.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Count Ters felt that his castle was shaking, and where Xia Qingcheng hit him, a spiderweb-like gap opened, and a piece of the wall collapsed.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Count Teres swallowed his saliva, looked at this woman, and after a long time he came back to his senses, and said with a little distress.
"Dearthis house is also an antique with a history of 600 years"
"so sorry."
Xia Qingcheng felt that she finally let out a breath of bad breath and felt much better, "Then can I be your bodyguard?"
"No problem, your power is beyond my imagination!"
The old earl smiled dryly, "If it were in the past, you would have been the best female knight in our Tells family!"
He reached out, took the remote control, and turned off the screen. At the same time, the curtains nearby also opened automatically, and sunlight poured into this small home cinema.
¡°I love old movie time every day¡it helps me get a good night¡¯s sleep.¡±
Unlike the fussy old butler, the old earl seemed to be a very humorous Englishman. He talked about old movies in a self-deprecating way, and then stood up slowly, "It's time for afternoon tea now." Dear Miss Xia, you can put the greetings in the room first, and then we can meet in the lobby on the first floor, okay?"
"Where is my room?"
Xia Qingcheng has never heard of this.
"Oh, that old guy Wilson, he must be starting to forget!"
Count Tells sighed, "In the room on the right just after going up the stairs on the second floor, the door is unlocked, just push it open and go in."
"Okay, Count Tells."
Xia Qingcheng said hello to the owner of the house. She took her suitcase and returned to the stairs and found her bedroom. When he opened the door and took a look, the room was quite spacious, but it exuded a slight musty smell that made Xia Qingcheng couldn't help but cover her nose.
She put the suitcase against the wall, walked quickly to the window, reached out and pushed open the window to let the air in and let out the smell in the house.
"Wow, how long has it been since anyone lived here?"
It is obviously a large manor, but the living environment is so poor. Although the environment was not good, Xia Qingcheng was not qualified to dislike it. She came here to work, not for vacation. Xia Qingcheng knew this.
¡°It¡¯ll be better if you let some air flow.¡±
Xia Qingcheng opened the door of the bathroom next to her. Although there was a bit of musty smell, it was still clean.
She tidied up the room briefly. Instead of closing the door, she opened the window in the corridor outside the door to keep the front and rear ventilated, so that the musty smell in the room could dissipate faster.
Then she went downstairs. In the restaurant on the first floor, the old earl was sitting here, enjoying his afternoon tea.
The old housekeeper is not here, but the lazy maid whom he muttered is busy in the kitchen.
Xia Qingcheng was slightly surprised by the appearance of this maid. As a woman, she was over 1.8 meters tall, much taller than Xia Qingcheng. And she is a bit obese, to be precise, she is fat and strong, with a tall figure, comparable to a strong man.
At this time, the sturdy maid had her hair tied up and was wiping the plates on the kitchen shelf one by one.
Although her fingers are thick, she works very meticulously. The plates were in her hands, one after the other, wiped clean and placed back on the shelf.
Xia Qingcheng noticed that these plates were all blue and white porcelain, and they looked old.
This is really a home of antiques, full of these historical crafts. Earl Tells is sitting at his dining table, with an English teacup in front of him, with the emblem of the Tells family printed on it - a magpie standing on a branch.
"Dear Xia, please sit down."
Earl Tells saw Xia Qingcheng and invited, "Mary, prepare a cup of English black tea for our new bodyguard."
"No problem, sir."
The sturdy maid immediately put down the dinner plate, walked to the table without washing her hands, took the teapot, and poured Xia Qingcheng a cup of steaming English black tea.
"Are you here to deal with those gangsters in Rob County? Great, they should have been punished long ago!"
The woman named Mary said angrily, "Those little hooligans know how to plot against Mr. Teres when they have nothing to do all day long! Even I wanted to teach those little hooligans a lesson, but it's a pity that I'm just a weaker lady! Last time When I was shopping for the master, those guys actually whistled at me! Oh my god, it¡¯s so obscene!¡±
Thinking of the taste of those hooligans, Xia Qingcheng felt a chill.
"Those little guys are indeed a bit unprofessional."
Count Tells didn¡¯t dislike those guys very much, ¡°But it¡¯s no wonder they were there. After the county ham processing factory closed down, those young men lost their jobs.¡±
"Master, you are so kind!"
Mary was still angry, "Those guys should use their energy on their farm! Instead of teasing a beautiful lady! This time they must want to make some money, so they targeted the master Dear Xia, would you like some pie?"
"No thanks¡¡"
Xia Qingcheng sat opposite Count Teres, glanced at the black tea in the cup, and then thought of Mary's unwashed hands, without any desire to taste it.
"So, have you identified the suspect?"
Xia Qingcheng decided to consult about antiques first.
"Not yet, these are just Miss Mary's guesses. She is a person with a very rich imagination."
The old count shrugged his shoulders.
"This is not speculation, it is reasoning!"
Mary emphasized, "I often read detective novels and know some reasoning! I found out that those guys wanted to buy a new car, but they had no money!"
"The women's chats after dinner cannot be used as evidence, dear Miss Mary. In addition, please take the time to clean the hall. Wilson just complained to me."
¡°Oh my god, that old bastard with a mouth worse than a woman¡¯s!¡±
Mary muttered, put down the plate and walked towards the living room.
"Okay, our detective lady is gone, now we can talk about work."
Count Teres put down his tea cup and looked at Xia Qingcheng, "I already know your abilities, now let's talk about what you should do." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
