Chapter 585

eight o'clock in the evening.

West of the City of Finance, Westminster Abbey.

In front of Garrett's mansion, Mays, the butler in a straight swallowtail, was complaining about the ghostly cold weather, which made him shiver in the cold wind, but whether it was due to etiquette or the master's picky taste, Mace had to hold back, let alone put on a tight but heavy winter coat.

At least three days a week, the Countess will hold a grand party in the mansion, inviting friends and guests to come and have fun.

And this night, the mansion was decorated in a festive manner, and the Countess sent out countless invitations and called for countless services.

Wudu's famous wind band wears uniforms, plays soothing music for guests in restaurants and dance floors, and waits for the host to change the repertoire she wants to listen to at any time.

In fact, in just two months, Her Excellency the Countess who came from other places has become the most prominent figure in the city's social circle.

It's hard to imagine that such a socially obsessed woman exists in the world.

In order to hold a dignified, even extravagant evening party, he did not hesitate to spend two thousand pounds to hire a famous orchestra and chef.

Baskets of china and glass, rolls of woolen blankets, sacks of flannel and linen wrappers, and wooden crates of all sizes  …

In the eyes of capitalists, a banquet is the best place to negotiate a deal, while in the minds of politicians, it is a place to reach a private agreement with potential allies.

But Her Majesty the Countess neither engages in business, nor is she too lazy to gain benefits through politics. She spends money so extravagantly purely to meet all kinds of interesting men and chat with them in the room.

As the steward of the Garrett family, Mace was really disappointed, he knew too well the history of the Countess' fortune.

Money, from a dead husband.

Estate, from dead husband.

Equity, from the dead husband.

In fact, even the name of the baroness was in honor of her deceased husband.

Perhaps Mr. Garrett would never have imagined that his reserved, considerate and perfect wife would become so dissolute after his death, comparable to an East End warbler.

To be honest, a woman with several lovers and knights is considered to have broken through the lower limit of morality.

Butler Ke Metz knew that the baroness kept in touch with at least twenty men at the same time.

"Sir, the storage room is about to run out of ice cubes. The chef team said they will bring their own, but there is not enough."

The butler immediately came back to his senses and urged, "Hurry up and buy it! Go to the high-end restaurants nearby, no matter how much the price is, the Garrett family will never allow guests to taste red wine that has not been chilled."

Seeing the two robust male servants striding out, Mace let out a long sigh of relief. He sneezed twice, a little envious of those waiters who could stay indoors.

The hall, the dance floor, and even every room are heated, and the fireplace burns extraordinarily vigorously. Guests can enjoy iced drinks at will without worrying about stomach problems.

The only exception is the butler, who must replace the master, more precisely, receive guests for the Garrett family, and save the last face.

At this moment, Mace saw a carriage with the badge of Scotland Yard stop.

Then, two men in dark suits walked out of the carriage with canes.

Why did the police come?

Moreover, it is still casual.

The housekeeper almost remembered the guests who often attended the Baroness's banquet, but these two men looked very strange, and it was most likely their first visit.

Thinking of this, Butler Metz put on a smile on his face and greeted him, "You two, please post."

"Um."

Lu Li nodded, and casually took out an invitation from his pocket, the whole process was extremely natural.

I have to say, this Ms. Vanessa is really rich, even the invitation letter is made of gold leaf.

After quickly verifying the authenticity of the invitation, the smile on the butler Metz's face became even more enthusiastic. He handed back both hands to Lu Li, looked at the tall and burly police officer Wensley, and said, "Sir, what about you?"

One letter per person.

Although it is anonymous, the rules are very strict. Everyone can only enter alone with an invitation letter, and cannot bring friends or partners in.

"I am Wensley, Senior Superintendent of Scotland Yard, and I am here with Mr. Lu."

I wanted to say that I wanted to ask the Baroness something, but considering the secrecy, Wensley decided to change his words and show his ID at the same time.

Senior Superintendent?

Mace glanced at his ID. Wensley, the senior police superintendent in the Greater London area, was even higher than the police chiefs in some counties, and belonged to the fourth person.

"Gentlemen, please."

The butler immediately let go, and he called a waiter to temporarily receive possible guests for him. While leading the way, he said, "I'll go and say hello to the master, and ask her to go downstairs to receive the two of you."

Fog City, where the royal family and dignitaries are located, and the center of the entire world, has the strongest security force and level in the country. No one wants to offend someone with a position like a senior police superintendent.

"No, my invitation letter is a gift from a friend. I didn't know the baroness before. This time I came to see the world."

Lu Li told the truth.

As for the so-called friends, they were naturally Bai Yu and the others. They followed the clues and quickly found out where the whore who should have died lived. The origin, name and experience were all sent to Baker Street in the form of files.

In addition, an invitation letter is attached.

Regarding who to send, Lu Li, Pan Ming, and Duke didn't discuss for too long.

First of all, we must send the most powerful person. If the blonde girl reappears, we must strive to take her down at once. Among the three, Lu Li will definitely take the lead by force.

Secondly, in order to increase efficiency, the matter of going to the library to find relevant records cannot be delayed.

In this way, the grouping becomes clear:

Lu Li went to the banquet and cooperated with Bai Yu and others who had already sneaked in to protect the target person and take corresponding actions according to the actual situation.

Duke and Pan Ming, one is in charge of the city library, and the other is in charge of the libraries of Oxford University and King's College.

In addition, Scotland Yard provides various conveniences, including but not limited to contacting all libraries in the city, financial support for activities...

Especially on Lu Li's side, Police Officer Wensley was sent to protect them with guns.

Whether Lu Li needs to be protected or not, let's put it aside for now, just talking about this attitude is enough to be correct!

Of course, it is somewhat troublesome to have an ordinary person by your side.

...

Ms. Vanessa, the noble baroness, is sitting in the dressing room on the second floor at this moment.

This thirty-year-old lady's figure is no longer youthful, her chest and buttocks are as mature as her age. In addition, with the help of cosmetics, her already fair skin has become translucent and firm.

If not, how could Jerry disregard moral constraints and be with her in the first place?

It's a pity that my little cousin is still too young. I didn't expect that the pretty baroness would become extraordinarily dissolute after meeting her "good friend".

Almost every day, the mansion left by her late husband is the busiest place in the neighborhood, where congressmen, politicians, and young painters of some reputation often gather.

Probably to meet more men?

Outside the door, a sneer appeared on Jerry's face, and he snorted coldly in his heart: I could tell this woman was restless at first glance!

Now it is even more undisguised, constantly holding banquets and spending a lot of money, using this method to satisfy the twisted heart and nature.

"My sweetheart, would you like a drink together?"

Soon, Jerry picked up his mood and pushed the door in with a glass of wine. Don't speculate wildly, he will never tamper with food, and even wished that his cousin could live a few more years.

Although he was born in a viscount family, his little cousin is a man who has no inheritance rights and no investment skills. For the first twenty years of his life, he used his middle-class assets to live an upper-class life.

In the past two years, the capital chain began to break down, and life was very embarrassing. Fortunately, my cousin's widow came, and with his handsome face, he returned to the upper class. Purchased a brand new condominium.

"Of course, I haven't seen you for two days."

The Countess and Jerry have slept countless times, and they have paid this man countless times.

In fact, this stupid woman who is not shrewd has a few good friends. They told her that the reason why the little cousin is so gentle and abandons the so-called possessiveness is all for money. Abandoned her like a dog.

But this woman just couldn't help it. Even after meeting so many interesting and talented men, she still couldn't forget Jerry.

Especially when her little cousin is smiling like this and wants to get a few hundred pounds from her, Vanessa will have a strange lust.

"Look, the Viscount's son will wag his tail in front of me too."

Thinking of this, the baroness suddenly felt a sense, and drank the iced red wine with a smile, but the iced drink did not extinguish her anger, she drank it very quickly, and threw it on the carpet beside her.

"I checked the time, we can have fun before the dinner officially starts."

Little cousin Jerry put on the sexiest smile and whispered in the lady's ear, "But hurry up."

Hands slowly reached under the skirt.

Knock Knock Knock——

Suddenly, an untimely knock on the door interrupted the "loving" couple.

Butler Metz did not rush in, he stated outside: "Madam, there is a mysterious gentleman, accompanied by Wensley, the senior superintendent of Scotland Yard, to attend the dinner hosted by you."

"Well……"

A strange voice came out, and the formulaic smile on the face of the housekeeper Metz instantly froze. He spurned this woman who did not abide by morals for the ancestors of the Garrett family. In the name of the devil of the abyss, he cursed one or two people in the room. Even three men.

The Countess got rid of Jerry's tongue that had just been inserted into her mouth, suppressed her throat, and said falteringly, "Scotland Yard? I have no connection with that place."

"I don't even know that Wensley."

Hearing this, the old butler took a few deep breaths, calmed down his anger-filled heart, and said in a deep voice, "You'd better go over there, that's a senior police superintendent, he looks very young, and he may go further and become a police officer at any time." A leader in Greater London."

"young!"

The Countess became interested, and at the same time remembered another mysterious gentleman that the old butler Metz had mentioned, and asked curiously, "Is his companion also a policeman?"

The poor little cousin was pressed down, unable to advance or retreat, and felt a little annoyed.

"No, but he has an anonymous invitation letter in his hand."

In order to make the dinner more surprising, Vanessa would often send out anonymous invitation letters to her friends, asking them to invite young painters, engravers, or other newcomers to join.

At this moment, Metz has made up his mind to punish the baroness. As the old butler serving the Garrett family for three generations, he has no shortage of connections, but he felt that he hadn't reached that point yet, so he still had a little fantasy. Wake up in time.

After all, family ugliness cannot be publicized.

But the movement from the room made the old man unbearable, and he either accepted the legal trial or was sent to hell with a gun by himself.

"Let them . . . wander around as they please."

"I'll go down before the dance officially begins."

The sound stopped abruptly.

After that, Mace was not in the mood to stay any longer, he responded and walked downstairs quickly.

The moment they came to the main hall, the smile returned to their faces. This was the last time to maintain the dignity of the family.

Next, he will start a relationship, temporarily cut off all sources of income for Vanessa, and have a good talk with her, either go to the countryside, find a secluded place to do those dirty things again, or die, and be buried in whatever place, just stay away from Mr. Garrett.

"According to the degree of debauchery of this baroness, she may indeed become the next target of criminal organizations. After all, they like to attack those unclean people the most."

Holding the wine glass, Wensley let out a low sigh.

them?

The current known situation is that the murderer is a blonde with a pretty face, like the witches promoted by the medieval church, who likes to harvest lives by bloody means.

However, Lu Li didn't respond. He sat next to him and looked around, looking for suspicious persons.

You know, it is already night, and in two or three hours, it will be midnight, when the butcher begins to kill.

Not far from the two of them, Bai Yu showed amazing adaptability and chatted happily with all kinds of people.

Whether it's a young painter, a banker, or even a well-known poet, this guy can chat with them, and with his handsome face that fits all aesthetics, he can be said to kill men, women and children.

Therefore, Lu Li thought about it.

He secretly gestured to Gao Qian, who immediately understood, walked to Bai Yu's side, and whispered something in a low voice.

"Excuse me, my friend is over there."

"This is a business card, please drink coffee in the future."

Although he followed Lu Li as a younger brother, it didn't prevent Bai Yu from making connections, which would come in handy anytime.

After exchanging business cards, Bai Yu and Gao Qian walked towards the corner with wine glasses in their hands. There were many people with mixed eyes, but they didn't appear too reserved or enthusiastic.

"Where's Zhao Feng?"

"Go to the second floor, there is a toilet over there, and the target person is also there."

"very good."

Lu Li felt that it was a wise move to ask his younger brother to help with things, as it would save a lot of time and not have to do everything himself.

"Bai Yu, I have a very important matter that I want to entrust to you."

Under the gaze of the three of them, Lu Li spoke surprisingly.

Bai Yu straightened his back subconsciously, as if willing to go through fire and water for the boss.

Beside him, Gao Qian felt a little uncomfortable, he is not weak, why can't he get the attention of the boss?

Where did you lose!

do not understand.
