Chapter 8 The Legacy of Hulmos

The black tea made by Miss Ke Yao is really delicious.

Lu Yuan and Su Mei sat in front of the small round table on the second floor, with a three-story dim sum tower with various pastries on it. Lu Yuan was drinking black tea while telling Miss Ke Yao what he saw and heard this time.

Whether it is his oriental magic or the secret about Miss Mary.

"Mr. Lu Yuan is such a kind person." After hearing the whole story, Ke Yao said with some emotion.

"If it were Miss Ke Yao, what would you do if you encountered this situation?" Lu Yuan couldn't help asking.

In front of the three people, through the glass, you can see Beckland in the mist.

"If I ask this, I may not know how to answer for a while." Ke Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "But I don't think I will do better than you."

"On the one hand, it can help the Viscountess get back her beloved sapphire necklace, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the poor little Marie from becoming a thief because of her momentary confusion. From then on, she was swept out of the Viscount's house." Ke Yao said this, lowered her head and took a sip of black tea: "I made the best choice in such a short time. I really found a very outstanding assistant detective."

"But." Ke Yao paused at this point: "I really want to know, what do you think about dealing with in the future?"

"Before talking about the follow-up," Lu Yuan looked at Ke Yao: "Actually, I always feel that the Viscountess has seen through my tricks, but it just hasn't exposed it."

"Why did she expose it?" Ke Yao asked with a smile.

"As you said before, the two most likely prisoners, one is the loyal butler and the other is the kind and cute little maid. No matter which one steals the sapphire necklace, it will be a great blow to the Viscountess, not only a loss of property, but also a mental blow."

"But your approach, no matter what the truth is, but in the end you cover up those unhappiness well, the Viscountess's purpose is to retrieve the sapphire necklace, and everything else is secondary."

"Since you can find the necklace, it proves that you are an excellent detective."

"Some things are better to pretend to be confused when you can pretend to be confused," Ke Yao said.

"It sounds like Miss Ke Yao has some stories, too?" Lu Yuan said.

"I believe you will be curious too." Ke Yao nodded: "Do you really want to know how I own this firm?"

Lu Yuan looked at Ke Yao: "If it's something unhappy, then there's no need to talk about it."

"Actually, it's not that unhappy," said Ke Yao. "This firm was originally my sponsor. Mr. Hulmos. He is a third-rate detective who is addicted to detectives, but he is a rich man who has inherited a large legacy."

"So he opened this Hulmos Detective House, and with his friends, he started his private detective business here."

"Although it has always been a loss in finances, it was the life Mr. Hulmos wanted, so the detective firm was opened."

"And I came from the southern province of the Wilderness Dragon Kingdom. By chance, I was qualified to study in Beckland, but my family was not able to support this huge fee. Fortunately, someone told me about my situation to the charitable Mr. Hulmos."

"So he started to fund my study abroad in Beckland. In return, I would often come to this office to help him and his friends solve some cases."

"It may be luck anyway. After I participated, their case resolution rate increased greatly, so eventually Mr. Hulmos became famous throughout Beckland."

"And more and more people are starting to ask me to handle some cases alone."

“Anyway, it was a nostalgic happy time.”

"What?" Lu Yuan said quietly.

Since there is time for happiness, then there is time for sadness.

"Then we received a button that seemed interesting, and the mysterious disappearance of a rich man named Franklin. We followed up together and found that the truth behind the case was far beyond our imagination."

"Anyway, that's the most complicated and thrilling case I've ever experienced."

"And at the end, I was lucky enough to survive the case, but Mr. Hulmos, disappeared from then on, and no one had seen him again."

"After almost certain that he had passed away, his lawyer opened his will."

"It was only then that people were surprised to find that because Hulmos had no children, he actually left all his inheritance to me."

When she said this, Miss Ke Yao's face did not have much joy, but instead she had a hard-to-melt sadness.

"I couldn't believe it at the time and asked the lawyer repeatedly if he had read it wrong, but the lawyer told me that this was Mr. Hulmos's will, and he always regarded me as his real, only daughter."

"So I inherited Mr. Hulmos's legacy in surprise and panic, and then began to watch over the detective firm alone."

"Although it's a bit difficult for a person to support, I still barely maintained this firm."

"For this is the treasure left to me by Mr. Hulmos."

"It is also the only place I want to protect."

Ke Yao looked at Lu Yuan, with tender and tender sadness in his black eyes.

"Thank you Miss Ke Yao for telling us this story." Lu Yuan looked at Ke Yao: "Can I understand this as a certain recognition of Miss Ke Yao for us."

"No." Ke Yao looked at Lu Yuan and said seriously.

Then he burst out laughing.

"Because, this is my recognition of you."

"You are not only an excellent detective, but also an interesting and kind person. I think Mr. Hulmos will be happy to see you live here."

"By the way." Ke Yao suddenly remembered something: "Isn't there another topic that has not ended just now?"

"I remember I want to ask you what you plan to deal with the aftermath of this case next."

“To be precise.”

"I want to know how you handle Mary's business."

Lu Yuan smiled: "About this matter."

"I plan to ask Miss Cynthia for help."

"Huh?" Ke Yao was a little unsure of Lu Yuan's meaning.

But when Lu Yuan continued seriously, he saw Lu Yuan continue, "If I remember correctly, Miss Cynthia is a student of Nightingale Nursing School and has a good attitude towards nursing. Her father is a pharmacist in the pharmacy shop and can get a lot of medicine for treatment."
