When Chu Long and others were touring the manor, on the second floor of the house directly opposite the gate, a middle-aged man was watching Chu Long and the others with a telescope. Of course, he was mainly observing Chu Long. After all, Ya Heng was in Dover.
After living in the small town for so many years, it was too easy to get to know him. I just asked my subordinates to do a little research and understand him. However, Chu Long was different. He had not been here for a long time and basically never left the hotel. Outsiders
All we know about him is that he is a bartender at the Locke Hotel.
"Dean, we have investigated this person and our knowledge is limited." A burly British man stood behind the middle-aged man and said.
"What did you find?" The middle-aged man did not look back, but continued to observe Chu Long with his telescope.
"Chu Long, his age is unknown. He should be close to 20. He is 1.95 meters tall. He once lost his memory and was rescued at sea by Ya Heng, the owner of Locke Hotel." said the strong British man.
"Relf, can you tell me something I don't know?" The middle-aged man put down the telescope in his hand, turned to look at the strong British man, and said in a calm voice.
"Dean Charles, the name Chu Long is not his only name. This name should be related to his mother. He also has another name called Aldrich Baker."
"His father is British and his mother is Chinese. His father is a navigator who has lived at sea for a long time. His mother's identity is unknown. They encountered a shipwreck while searching for Korean treasures. So far, no one other than Chu Long has been found.
Other survivors."
"This is the information we have been able to collect so far. This is a detailed report of the places Chu Long has been to, the food he has eaten, and the things he has done every day since he entered the town of Dover." said the strong British man Rael.
The husband handed a stack of papers stored in a file folder to Dean Charles.
After receiving the report, Charles turned around and walked into the room, followed by Ralph. Dean Charles walked into the study, sat down on the sofa and read the report, and Ralph sat down next to the dean.
After reading it in detail, Dean Charles looked at Ralph and asked, "Did Chu Long go to the bank some time ago?"
"Dean, the bank can't find any information. They do a good job of keeping customers confidential."
"Go and check to see if Chu Long's father has ever been to Barclays Bank to make sure." Dean Charles stood up and put the report into the file bag on the bookcase and said.
"Okay, Dean," said Ralph.
There was a sudden knock on the door. After Dean Charles said please come in, the door was opened from the outside.
A young woman dressed as a maid came in, holding a tray in her hand. There were two glasses of dark red wine on the tray. After the woman placed the two glasses of wine in front of Dean Charles and Ralph, she looked at
Dean Charles said: "Dean, this is the Grave wine you want."
"Okay, you go out first!" Dean Charles said. The maid turned around and left the room with the tray in hand.
"Dean Charles, the guests are still waiting!" Ralph drank the red wine in one gulp and stood up.
"Okay, news as soon as possible. I don't like waiting very much." Dean Charles put down the wine glass in his hand and looked directly at Ralph.
"Waiting, this word has never appeared in my dictionary." Ralph said with a smile, turned and left the room.
The room fell into silence. Dean Charles sipped red wine and leaned on the sofa thinking about things until the red wine in the glass was gone. He stood up, opened the door and walked downstairs.
"Alberta, tell the housekeeper that I will wait for them in the living room." Dean Charles walked downstairs and ordered the maid.
"Okay, Dean." Alberta said, and then walked quickly towards where the housekeeper and others were.
Steward Scott led Chu Long and the two of them to the central area of the manor. This is the small garden in the manor. Due to the season, there are no flowers in bloom in the small garden, but you can imagine the beauty when they are in full bloom.
Steward Scott introduced that this small garden covers an area of dozens of hectares. The entire garden was designed by the famous British designer Philip Webb. Designer Philip passed away many years ago, but his reputation in the UK is unmatched. London is now
He was the founder of the Ancient Buildings Conservation Association, when he and another famous designer designed the Red House, a representative building of the British era. His works are quite pastoral, and the overall small garden also reflects his
The style is natural and simple.
"Butler Scott, the dean is waiting for you in the living room." Alberta walked over quickly and conveyed the dean's order to the butler.
"OK."
Butler Scott led Ya Heng and Chu Long out of the small garden and came to the living room of the main building at the main entrance of the manor. It was the first time for both Chu Long and Ya Heng to meet the famous Dean of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Charles Academy.
He is a man with a full head and a full head
A middle-aged man with a few silver strands hidden in his black hair. Although he had a few silver hair prematurely, it could not hide his piercing eyes. The white hair was obviously caused by overwork. He was at least
He is 1.85 meters tall and tall.
When Chu and Long were looking at Charles, the legendary director of the military academy, Charles was also looking at Chu and Long. Regarding Yaheng, the local hotel owner, Charles only made a slight observation. After all, no matter from the people around him or from Ralph
We already have a detailed understanding of it there, so there is no need to waste time observing him.
After Charles' eyes stopped on Yaheng for a moment, he turned to Chu Long. Compared to Yaheng, he was more interested in Chu Long, a Chinese-English mixed-race man. This was not because he had never seen a mixed-race man. He was in the army.
I've seen a lot of them in there, but the fact that this mixed-race person appeared in the small town of Dover at this time makes people a little suspicious.
Chu Long gave Charles the impression that this young man was very strong, and his short brown hair made him look energetic and not decadent. His bright black eyes were as dazzling as black pearls. He combined the advantages of both China and the West, making him instantly charming.
Can't find any problems.
The two parties only observed each other for a few seconds. Steward Scott saw the opportunity and coughed slightly, ending the "first impression" between the two parties.
"Lucy, three cups of coffee." Butler Scott ordered the maid standing at the door. The butler was very familiar with Dean Charles' taste, and when he visited the garden, the butler also learned about the habits of Chu Long and Ya Heng.
"Mr. Selter, Mr. Chu, I'm interrupting your lunch break." Dean Charles took the lead to break the silence and stir up a conversation.
"It is our honor to receive your invitation, Charles." Ya Heng said.
The simple topic greeting broke the first awkward silence between the two parties. However, Chu Long felt as if this was the legendary 'awkward chat'. The two parties actually had nothing to talk about at the beginning, and Dean Charles couldn't bring it up.
He talked about the attack in a straight-to-the-point manner, but Yaheng really had nothing to say. You were the one who asked us here in the first place.
Next, Charles and Ya Heng spent about ten minutes "inquiring". Both sides were chatting about something, but Chu Long listened with his ears and basically didn't interrupt. The butler Scott served the maid's coffee.
After entering and placing it in front of several people, he followed the maid and left the living room.
