Victor asked Ms. Merriggy to recall as many memories as possible, but if the other party had any suspicions, they would have reported it to the owner long ago. How could it be the turn to invite a detective to investigate?
After seeing no results, Victor suggested asking the maids who had taken care of Mrs. Shasa.
However, de Gaulle had other plans.
"Well... I heard that the other two detectives who came with us earlier are investigating a housekeeping company. Is this the housekeeping company here?"
After he finished speaking, Meredith shook his head to express that he was unclear.
De Gaulle immediately stood up, packed all his things, and asked Victor to follow him.
"Let's also go to the housekeeping service company."
Victor frowned, but did not raise any objection. He followed de Gaulle to see what he wanted to do.
When going down the mountain, de Gaulle kept explaining his thoughts to Victor in the carriage.
"Watson, we, Tom and Pippen have been conducting investigations in completely different directions from the beginning."
"They went to Renekton Mountain Park and started directly from the perspective of murder, while we looked at Mrs. Shasa's mental state as an entry point. I think the two things are somehow related."
"Judging from the current progress, our direction seems to be wrong, but the strange thing is that we have actually found out a lot of things, such as the relationship between Siqin and Mrs. Salsa... On the contrary, Tom and Pippen
They rarely give feedback to Dutch, and only recently did they learn that they were investigating a certain housekeeping company. What have the two of them done in the past few days?"
De Gaulle was leaning against the car window and smoking a pipe, his expression solemn, as if he had a premonition of something.
Victor did not understand what he said, so de Gaulle paused and continued to explain.
"Those two guys are not essentially of the same mind. Maybe they are also acting separately, and they each have certain clues... The reason why they rarely communicate with Dutch is that they may be wary of each other. After all, only one person can win the final prize.
Take it away..."
These words made Victor feel something. After all, de Gaulle preferred to be in the limelight and was more willing to share his reasoning process with others.
As for those two guys, in Victor's opinion, they both have a certain insidiousness about being smart. Otherwise, they wouldn't secretly bribe pirates in the villa just to win a bet.
"Although I don't want to admit it, they must have found some clues that we don't know. I think we should go talk to them, what do you think?" De Gaulle turned his head and winked at Victor.
"Haha... Why would I want to share it with you?" Victor snickered.
"Ah~~! My dear Vladimir, I have many ways to make them leak the information. Then you can watch my performance!" De Gaulle clenched his fists confidently.
…
The carriage bumped all the way down to the locations of the housekeeping companies provided by Merrige.
De Gaulle believed that Tom and Pippin must have discovered something in the mountain park, so he also focused his suspicion on the servants of Storm Heights.
During the investigation, the two people may have had some differences, which led to them not communicating with Daqi and relying on other means to find out who the housekeeping company was.
The housekeeping company they investigated was probably one of the companies provided by Merigi.
In recent years, the Berkeley family has accepted maids recommended by five housekeeping companies, and their addresses and names are written in the maids' recommendation letters.
De Gaulle first visited the first house, but did not get any clues, and the person in charge of the other house had not seen Pippen and Tom.
So they went to the second address in disappointment, where they got some information.
Although the person in charge was unwilling to provide information about the applicants on hand, he told the two of them that a detective who looked very similar to Tom had come the day before yesterday, but the other person did not get anything useful from him.
Finally left in despair.
The time is almost the same as what Dutch said...
But when Victor asked the other party where the detective had gone, the other party said he didn't know, so they could only continue to the third company.
It was this third housekeeping company that gave Victor and De Gaulle a clear reply.
"Well... this gentleman just came here in the morning and asked me some strange questions. He also wanted the original information filled out by the applicants here. I didn't give it to him, and I didn't even give him any money..."
Upon hearing this, de Gaulle asked curiously: "Is this Mr. Tom the only one?"
"Yes...yes, he introduced himself as Tom Ross. I have a good memory and I can't remember it wrong..."
Hearing what the other party said basically confirmed de Gaulle's guess that Tom and Pippen should have acted separately.
"I just came here in the morning...we just missed him..." Victor murmured.
De Gaulle thought for a while and then asked the other party: "Are those original data important?"
"Of course! This is a secret file of our company and will not be shown to anyone casually..."
The person in charge actually didn't give in and even explained a little bit.
"You all know that our business is to earn referral fees from the client and recommend as many candidates as possible in order to increase our profits... We will first send the recommendation letter to the employer, and then sign the agreement after the other party is satisfied
Amount to be paid.”
Although he didn't say much, De Gaulle immediately guessed what those original materials meant: "Oh... I thought of a waiter who returned from overseas. What about you, Watson?"
Victor saw him blinking at him and immediately guessed the reason.
To put it simply, the original information must be the information that the applicant filled in when looking for a housekeeping company. After the housekeeping company collects this part of the information, it will use it to write a recommendation letter sent to the employer.
In order to make money, most domestic service companies will polish the servants' resumes with letters of recommendation.
That's why de Gaulle said he remembered "that waiter"...
If a pirate could sneak into the Berkeley family and work as a waiter, he would definitely need the help of a housekeeping company.
Putting this aside for the time being, back to Tom's question, the person in charge of this company clearly remembered that when he was communicating with the detective, he heard the other party say that he would go to a housekeeping company called "Moon Home" today to continue the investigation.
.
After looking through the list of companies provided by Merigi, the last one was indeed called "Moon Home"...
At this moment, the investigation rhythms of De Gaulle and Tom unexpectedly overlapped.
"The time is right! Come on, Watson! I've already thought of a way to make Tom confess!"
De Gaulle couldn't wait and called Victor and rushed to the last housekeeping company.
"Moon Home...this name feels quite strange..."
Victor rushed to the address while complaining. As soon as they entered the door, they bumped into a female assistant wearing a men's jacket.
The other party was slightly stunned and looked at them with surprised eyes.
De Gaulle said he was here to see Tom. After thinking for a moment, the female assistant replied: "The police chief has been here for more than an hour and said he had questions to ask our boss."
Sheriff?
De Gaulle was slightly surprised, but then he immediately reacted: "Haha, after being deflated several times in a row, that guy finally got the idea and knew how to change his clothes..."
After saying that, he wanted to go upstairs, but the female assistant quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, are you..."
De Gaulle showed off the "police badge" he had prepared early in the morning. Under the astonished gaze of his female assistant, he ran up the stairs three steps to the second floor. But when he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, he suddenly froze.
.
Victor followed closely behind, and seeing de Gaulle's extremely serious face, he immediately had a premonition of something in his heart.
And the next second, he smelled a strong smell of blood...
