The man had a bad temper written on his face and scolded Dutch, completely ignoring the guests around him.
Perhaps he was used to it. Even if he was accused, Dutch didn't feel any displeasure at all. He still sat there steadily and stared at each other.
"Where do these guys come from? You always do it yourself without consulting me!"
The intruder kept talking. He had an angular face and blond hair. He was about thirty years old.
Da Qi looked at the other party, his tone seemed relatively calm.
"Because I am the master of this family, there is no need to ask you for instructions..."
With one sentence to slap the other person back, Dutch glanced at everyone and introduced the identity of the person to the detectives.
"Everyone, this is my younger brother - Xiqin. He is often rude in front of outsiders. I hope you won't take it off... Okay, Xiqin, the people in front of you are private detectives that I personally invited. If you have any dissatisfaction
, can you talk to me alone later?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man known as Siqin continued to shout angrily: "Is it a private detective this time? I remember that not long ago you were addicted to the divination club. Our family is unfortunate enough, what do you want?
How many people should you publicize this scandal to?"
Hearing this, Dutch's face instantly darkened.
"What do you want me to do? My brother?"
"I...can't you accept this fate? My nephew is dead. During those days, Shasa was planning to commit suicide. It was the appearance of the baby that made her recover! Even if she can't remember it now
The truth about the child's death, but if you can face it calmly and really treat this child as your own..."
"You want me to raise an unrelated bastard, and then let this bastard inherit the Berkeley family business?" Dutch's eyes became extremely cold, and he could feel the murderous intent hidden in them.
Siqin was not frightened by his brother. He continued to fight: "I only know that this is the best result for Shasa. She has endured enough! Marrying you is her misfortune!" p>
After yelling, Siqin shifted the target of his vent to the detectives. He glared at Victor and De Gaulle and angrily yelled: "If these guys can't keep their mouths shut, everyone in the city will know that the eldest son of the Berkeley family died in infancy.
And Dutch's wife has become a lunatic, and the faces of our ancestors will be lost to our generation. The reason for all this is that you are unwilling to face the facts of the past, even if you have to hurt Shasa again and hurt the family.
The reputation must also be..."
"Shut up!" Dutch suddenly stood up, and the surrounding servants were startled. A maid hurriedly went to Xiqin to persuade him not to continue talking.
"Accept this child, and our tragic fate will end!" Siqin was still "correcting" Daqi with spittle, and finally made his brother completely angry.
The two guards were called in, and they carried Xiqin directly and left the main living room. His curses echoed in the corridor.
De Gaulle curled his lips, raised his eyebrows, blinked at Victor and shrugged, expressing his inner helplessness.
For the Berkeley family, reputation may be more important than catching the murderer, at least Sitchin thinks so.
The point of conflict lies in Dutch's wife. If people knew that Dutch's wife was a psychopath, the public criticism it would bring would definitely make the Berkeley family the object of ridicule and ridicule in the upper-class social circles. p>
Therefore, he hopes that Daqi will swallow the loss of being mute and cooperate with his wife who has lost her memory to continue the drama of a happy family.
As for Sitchin himself, as Will said, he is a hot-tempered master, and he is not polite at all to his eldest brother in front of outsiders.
Yes, this guy once appeared at Congressman Robert's birthday party and had an encounter with Will.
After the big fight, Dutch looked very tired.
He exchanged some more information with the detectives, then asked the servants around him about the current time, and then sent the detectives down the mountain.
"Sorry everyone, I'm sleepy now. I don't care how you carry out the investigation next, but please remember that only the detective who truly finds out the clues and the truth can get the rewards of the Berkeley family..."
So how much is the reward?
The detectives asked almost in unison.
Dutch answered naturally: "If you find out the clues, you will be rewarded at least one thousand francs. If you can catch the murderer, there will be another thousand francs waiting for you."
……
This remuneration can be described as a sky-high price. Only the Berkeley family in the city can offer such a high commission. The detectives were in a state of excitement on the way home. Tom and Pippen didn't even bother to trouble De Gaulle and hurriedly drove back to the city.
In the carriage, de Gaulle finally got his pipe back and smoked it hard as if in revenge. The whole space was filled with smoke.
Ahem~!
Victor opened the window, looked at the carriage that had already driven far ahead, and said, "I don't know where the two guys in front are going to start their investigation."
De Gaulle felt better and returned: "Let them go! But I remember they said they wanted to go to the mountain park to check the environment and terrain of the crime scene... I am not interested in this plan. After so long, I can find out a crime."
What's the name?"
"Then what are your plans?" Victor asked curiously.
De Gaulle did not answer directly, but instead asked Victor: "What do you think of Mr. Sitchin we met today?"
"Siqin?" Victor frowned. He didn't particularly care about Dutch's younger brother. He should be concerned about Dutch himself and his wife.
"A bad temper, qualities that don't match his status, no matter how big or small... Also, he looks quite handsome."
Victor recalled Siqin's appearance and suddenly felt that this guy was very similar to Jaime Lannister in "Game of Thrones" that he had seen in his previous life.
"You have completely missed the point! My friend!" De Gaulle quickly pointed out Victor's blind spots.
Victor, hehe, he is self-aware, and his observation skills are definitely not as good as the guy in front of him.
At the beginning, it only took De Gaulle one day to find the Incense Mansion with just a few clues. If it hadn't been for Will's astuteness, the cemetery theft case might have been solved by him at that time. There is no doubt about his ability.
.
Just listen to him say: "Didn't you realize that when that Siqin was scolding his brother, he couldn't do without Shasa?"
Victor was reminded like this and immediately understood what de Gaulle meant.
"You mean..."
"Not necessarily, but Siqin does care about Daqi's wife, hehehe..." De Gaulle's voice always had a sinister feel when he laughed.
"Okay!" Victor shrugged, "Even if these three people had emotional entanglements in the past, what does it have to do with the case we want to investigate?"
"Indeed not, but I thought of another thing..."
De Gaulle took a deep puff of his pipe and spit it out.
"Try to think about it. Dutch is the helmsman of the Berkeley family. If he has no heirs, who will be the beneficiary?"
After hearing this, Victor's expression changed: "Oh...that's it..."
After he finished speaking, his eyes shook, and he continued: "But this time I discovered your blind spot."
"Huh?" De Gaulle was puzzled.
Victor explained: "Daqi is still so young, he looks no more than forty years old, and he is fully capable of continuing to have children, even illegitimate children. If Siqin has this kind of crooked intention, it is impossible for every nephew to be born."
Kill me?"
De Gaulle was silent, and he looked at Victor with admiration: "My dear Watson, you are indeed suitable to be my assistant."
Victor chuckled again, turned his face to look at the dim mountain road, and teased with a hint of dissatisfaction: "It's very late now. As a host, shouldn't I let the guests stay overnight?"
De Gaulle sighed and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, we will come again anyway."
