After hearing this, Tom looked at his companions next to him in surprise. De Gaulle continued to say, "Do you want to know how I saw it?"
"Shut up!" Pippen's face turned green.
"So you got off the car just now to go..." Tom's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately took out a handkerchief from his coat pocket and wiped his right palm vigorously.
The scene seemed very funny for a while, but then, the appearance of the servant of Stormhill Villa disrupted this interesting episode.
A group of people came from the direction of the mansion, headed by a waiter from the villa, followed by two guards.
"Since you are already here, don't linger here. The master is waiting for you in the living room."
After receiving instructions, the two detectives put aside their arguments for the time being. The two detectives, Tom and Pippen, quickly arranged their clothes, put on a formal appearance, and walked away with each other.
De Gaulle asked Victor to follow them, and the carriage was directed in another direction by the guards.
"Hey! Gentlemen, can you pay the one-way fare?"
The coachman shouted to de Gaulle before leaving. The latter looked embarrassed and glanced at the assistant beside him sheepishly.
"Watson, it's time to play your role!"
Facing this shameless request, Victor kept complaining in his heart.
However, he remembered that he had borrowed money from Henry so shamelessly.
It seems that he and de Gaulle are a perfect match!
After handing the fare to the coachman, Victor told the driver: "Wait, maybe we will go down the mountain again tonight."
After receiving the coachman's promise, Victor returned to the direction of the team and was given a grateful look by de Gaulle.
"You are truly my lucky star, Vladimir."
Victor glanced at him: "I've recorded it, you have to be included in my salary."
De Gaulle jumped in shame and smoked his pipe as if to cover up.
……
Finally, they followed the waiter into the big house in Stormwind Heights.
It is said to be a house, but in fact it is almost as big as a castle, and the decoration inside is also quite gorgeous, with a more industrial-era feel than an ancient castle.
Exquisitely crafted ornaments and structures abound, as well as various precious murals hanging all over the corridors.
The red carpet at the entrance leads directly to the large living room. Compared with the old castle, the villa has a complete power supply and water supply system, making the entire hall extremely bright.
Reckon only has municipal facilities with power supply in the core urban area, and many places still use kerosene.
It can be seen that there is at least a separate power generation equipment behind the villa.
"Four of you, please wait a moment, I will notify the master immediately."
The detectives were seated in the living room, the waiter went upstairs, and the maid served them warm coffee.
About five minutes later, the owner of this huge mansion, a middle-aged man with a round face, black hair, and brown eyes, wearing a red fluffy robe, slowly walked down the spiral staircase.
He was holding a thick cane, as if it had been chopped from a century-old tree.
De Gaulle was sitting on a soft leather chair, smelling the heat in the coffee, and turned his eyes to the man who was walking slowly.
He was slightly startled, and immediately lowered his head and whispered to Victor next to him: "Did you see his cane? It's called the 'Nymph Goddess'. The body of the staff is made of ebony that is thousands of years old, and the part on the hand is made of deep sea
There are only three nude women carved from chrysoprase in the world..."
Victor understood what de Gaulle wanted to express, and he watched quietly as he walked in front of the detectives.
Tom and Pippen immediately placed their water glasses on the glass coffee table next to them, stood up, took off their hats and greeted the middle-aged man.
"Thank you for coming to my humble home..." The middle-aged man looked at the four of them and did not pause when he glanced at Victor.
This man is none other than Dutch Berkeley, the owner of the Berkeley family and the controller of Storm Bank.
Victor was deeply impressed by him because of a divination he had done not long ago.
However, although he could recognize Dutch, Dutch did not recognize him, because even the last time they met, Victor had disguised himself, wearing a pair of funny round sunglasses on his face.
Not to mention now, he has changed his disguise again, completely wearing two types of clothes.
"I am Dutch Berkeley, I believe you all recognize me..."
Dutch introduced himself calmly, and Tom and Pippen immediately responded like they were flattered.
"Of course, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Dutch, ah~! Yes! I am Tom Ross, and this is Pippin Perry. Both of us are private detectives with more than eight years of experience." p>
After the introduction, Tom smiled and glanced at De Gaulle, who was still sitting in the leather chair.
De Gaulle had no special reaction to Dutch's appearance. He didn't even stand up to say hello, and was still intoxicated by the hot steam of the coffee.
Pippen wanted to go up and shake hands with Dutch, but Tom lightly kicked his calf. He immediately reacted and put his hands behind his back in embarrassment.
"Nice to meet you two..." After finishing speaking, Dutch turned his head and looked at De Gaulle and Victor, "Then you two..."
"Vladimir Judler Watson." Victor replied to Dutch unhurriedly.
Only then did de Gaulle put down his cup, stood up from his chair, and stretched out his hand to Dutch: "I am De Gaulle Chaclo from the Eye Detective Agency."
Dutch did not shake hands with De Gaulle. Pippen sneered at the side and said to De Gaulle: "You are too rude to be a guest at the host's house, Mr. Chaclo."
Dutch found that the two sides seemed to be a little conflicted, frowned, and sat back slowly.
His waiter immediately took the initiative to bring the chair under Dutch.
After Dutch sat down firmly, he asked the servant to bring some letters over and said while reading: "These are the file information of several people, the 'Ruby Case', the 'Spot Scandal', the 'Securities Company Bribery Case'...
You have solved many bizarre cases in the past, so when I asked for help, the chief of the police station recommended you to me."
"This is an exaggeration. We just did what we can for the public safety of Renekton, but..." Tom happily responded to Dutch's compliment while looking at de Gaulle, "But among the people here,
, there are always some things just because of good luck."
De Gaulle played with his pipe in his hand, looked at Tom, and laughed out loud: "Perfect self-introduction!"
Pippen sneered: "Mr. Shaklo, your reputation is well-known far and wide. There is no need to pretend to be stupid. I believe Mr. Dutch must also know how you messed up each client's entrustment."
"Sorry, I don't know which case you are referring to when you say screwed up." De Gaulle shrugged.
"Oh? Really? The thing you did for Mr. Rufu failed to come out because of procrastination, which led to him being sent to prison by the Inspection Bureau."
"He was sent to prison because he committed a crime, and it had nothing to do with me!" De Gaulle began to add tobacco to his pipe.
Pippen continued to rush: "Where is Mr. Dilio's commission? It was just a theft case, but you were able to engage in pornography. You also involved the Police Bureau and the senior superintendent, so that the gentleman could not continue.
Follow up."
De Gaulle added tobacco while returning: "You are exactly saying the opposite. Mr. Dilio's theft case was involved in the case of the Police Bureau and the Police Department. Don't you still know the authority of the Police Bureau?
Really? There is really no way to interfere with their affairs."
After finishing the tobacco, he was about to light a cigarette when he was scolded by the waiter beside Dutch: "Sir, no one is allowed to smoke inside the villa."
De Gaulle was stunned for a moment, and then the waiter took away his pipe.
"In order to prevent you from smoking, the pipe will be kept by me temporarily and will be returned to you when you leave." After the waiter finished speaking, he left the hall with his belongings regardless of de Gaulle's objection.
De Gaulle was a little annoyed, and turned around and asked Pippen: "I said, as a mature private detective, if you don't pay attention to the suspects in your case, but come to stare at your competitors, is it because your business has gone wrong?"
