The red moon returns

Chapter 232 Thank you
Lynch opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

Sitting up, his mind was a little confused, making him a little confused for a moment.

Why am I in the auditorium?

Oh, no, this is the bedroom, but it looks like an auditorium in size.

The sun shines into the house through the bright glass windows, making the house warm. The fragrance of gardenias floats in the air, and the chirping birds come in from the window. Other than that, it is silent, and you can't hear the sound of Charles Square at all. Chaos and noise.

The spacious bedroom is covered with thick cashmere carpets, and the exquisitely carved solid wood furniture reveals the unique delicacy and grace of the Victorian era. Under the unique glass lampshade, the shiny brass gas nozzles are shaped like works of art. They protrude from the wall, either as reliefs or as hanging ornaments, integrating seamlessly with the decoration of the entire room.

The exquisite four-poster bed is hung with a cloud-like gauze curtain. The fluffy bedding makes you feel like you are falling into the clouds. The silk sheets are smooth and refreshing, and you can't help but reach out and touch them.

There is no decoration of gold, silver and precious stones, but it is full of elegance and luxury. This is the property purchased by the Valente family in the Rhine City. According to the description of a certain noble lady, it is just a temporary residence where you can barely rest.

So, if the bedroom is too big and affects my sleep, I don’t like big houses. This is scientifically justified. Yes, it’s definitely not jealousy.

Last night, Lynch didn't go back to the apartment and went directly to Valente's house. Not for any other reason, but because he was holding a hot potato. Lynch didn't want to bring trouble back to the apartment, lest Mrs. Maggie Mother and daughter were implicated.

In a short while, he will call Count Lorende's house directly and find Princess Chloe to settle the accounts.

After finally waiting until lunch was over, Lynch grabbed Miss Valente and ran out, running out of the yard as if running away. Then he was pulled back by Miss Valente who was laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up, and boarded the The carriage is ready.

It must be another detective novel, either Detective Moriarty or Detective Noir. This girl has been poisoned.

[Oh, let me remember it for you. 】

So, under the gaze of seven or eight people, Lin Qi had the most embarrassing meal in his life. Whether the food was exquisite or not, whether the tableware was luxurious or not, he had no idea whether the food was exquisite or not, and whether the tableware was luxurious or not, he had no idea. All he could think about during the whole process was the strange looks of the servants. Eating was like sitting on pins and needles, and in the end, my mind almost went blank.

"Dang", the quaint grandfather clock rang, and Lynch realized that he actually slept until eleven o'clock, which made him feel quite good, just like being awakened by the sunshine outside the window, panicking and getting up to get ready for work, but he remembered The pleasant feeling of having a day off today.

Walking barefoot on the soft carpet to the window, there is an open courtyard outside. In the quiet early summer afternoon, the fountain in the courtyard is spraying quietly. In the pavilion next to the pool, a young lady in casual clothes is leaning On the bench, flipping through a thick book.

Could it be that the old butler, Mr. Louis, was driving the car? The old man's body couldn't bear such a torment, and this was just a public visit among nobles, not a secret operation. The old butler didn't need to drive the car himself, so it was better to let the old man rest.

As if sensing the sight, the young lady raised her head and saw the figure in the guest room window on the second floor. She immediately ran out of the pavilion lightly, took off her hat and waved it. Her loose blond hair was particularly bright in the sun.

The key is that the culprit is still smiling, neighbor above all else, no matter how beautiful your smile is, I will never forgive you.

This family is really weird. What do those maids mean when they look at me and smile so weirdly? I have a clown painted on my face? And those male servants, even if you look at me with such admiration, I won't tip you.

The clothes had been washed and ironed and placed at the door of the guest room. Lin Qi hurriedly packed and washed them, put on his belongings and went downstairs.

This girl is so beautiful, no, I mean it's already so late, just get up quickly.

'Don't cause trouble. '

But the Valente family is different. Although they are ordinary people, only those with abnormal brains would rashly provoke such a big family. Therefore, Lynch is very relieved to stay overnight in Valente and wait until the problem is solved today. Go back to your home.

The problem is that you are such a bad old man. Why do you still tell the coachman to keep an eye on me and tell the police if you see what I do? I am really not a good person. No, I am really not a bad person. There is no need. Just look at me with a thief-proof look. I didn't steal anything. You can't blame me if you lose something at home. Really.

In any case, finally escaping from the sight hell, Lynch finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened the newspaper that had been prepared in the carriage.

Pirates suddenly appeared on the coastline, heroic detectives bravely fought gangsters, and the promise of a steak set meal was indeed in vain. I couldn't recognize myself in the image described. The Department of Order temporarily blocked Shiratori Port in the early morning and strictly checked suspicious persons. Alas, it turned out that the fish and chips were missing. In the situation last night, I'm afraid the Rangers and Mayor Howard never dreamed that we were the rebel generals. They would only think that someone else was behind the scenes. It's a pity that I can't see their expressions with my own eyes, so I can only keep silent and make a fortune.

However, before Lynch could finish reading the first page, the carriage stopped again.

Arrived.

Originally, they were only ten minutes apart by car. This was because the courtyard was relatively large. Strictly speaking, there were only three houses in the middle, so even ten minutes was considered too slow.

The Iris District is an aristocratic district on the Rhine. It has the best environment, the best public security, and the best facilities. Even if you have money, you can't live here. You can only buy land in the River Valley District. Only people with a certain status are eligible to live here.

Nobles always visit in the afternoon. In fact, it should be later, between two and three o'clock is best. The reason is that the atmosphere in the afternoon is calmer and more suitable for nobles to make decisions. But according to Lynch's explanation, it's simpler. It's just that you can't get up in the morning. Well, it was the same in my hometown in ancient times. It's not a shame.

However, the two of them did not intend to leave at each other's pace, so they arrived two hours in advance. The letter of visit had already been delivered, and the carriage drove directly into the courtyard. The two of them were brought into the living room and waited for a while, wearing a floor-length white dress. Princess Chloe appeared in front of the two of them.

The obese Count Lorende did not appear, and Princess Chloe was still so unlikable. Although he did not dare to say anything to Miss Valente, he looked at Lynch with critical eyes and said with a tone full of arrogance:
"The city government and the Department of Order respect you so much. I thought you were so powerful. Aren't you the trump card of the city government and the Rangers? Why did you come to us for help just one day later? Unfortunately, I already knew that I’ve told you, if you have anything to do, go back and ask the two detectives, I’m very busy and don’t have time to say it again.”

Sure enough, she thought I was Mayor Howard's person, that's why she attacked me so harshly. No, I'm afraid she was ruthless just because she was so annoying.

Facing the arrogant gaze of this beautiful princess, Lin Qi was not angry, but said with a half-smile: "There has been a slight change in the case. There is something I would like to ask Her Royal Highness to confirm whether she has seen it before."

"I'm not in the mood to do these chores now. Unless you can bring out the flaming red lips, I'm still in the mood to confirm. Otherwise, please don't disturb my life. Hehehe, Detective Leviev, if you can't bring it out, please come back... Um?"

The mocking voice stopped suddenly, and the sneer eyes were frozen in the pupils. Princess Chloe stared straight at Lynch, watching him take out a crimson gem and put it on the coffee table.

Blinking, blinking again, Her Royal Highness was so surprised that she lost the ability to speak. Looking at the gem, she could not speak a single word, and could only open her mouth wide and utter a few meaningless syllables.

"What you just said was Flaming Red Lips, not a clone. Did I hear you correctly?"

Lynch's first words made Princess Chloe's face turn pale, her eyes became more unbelievable, and her breathing became rapid.

"Haha, I've seen fakes exchanged for real ones a lot. This is the first time I've seen a real one exchanged for fakes, so I've learned a lot about it. I stole the gems, then replaced the fake ones with real ones and returned them to the owner, and then let them go. Someone else stole the real gem from the owner. Everyone has been deceived by you, Princess. Everyone is surrounding a real gem, but they don’t know that the replica they really want has been hidden by you. You don’t have to offend anyone to undermine your cooperation, and you don’t have to actually hand over the replica. As expected of the princess, her methods are amazing.”

"I, you, I, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"We all know whether we understand or not, and there is no need to explain." Princess Chloe was trying to explain with her face turning pale, and Lynch suddenly raised her voice: "Shut up now and listen to me."

"you……"

"I said shut up, don't you understand? I tell you to shut up because I feel pity for you. I am giving you a chance to listen to what I have to say. If you are not prepared to accept the charity, we will leave right now." Lin Qi knocked on the table. The flaming red lips on her face said, "After all, you don't want your behavior to become known to everyone, Your Highness Princess."

Chloe's face instantly turned red, her fists were clenched and shaking, and she pursed her lips tightly, but remained silent, just staring at Lynch with angry eyes.

"Ha, you are a smart man, but you just don't have any manners." Lin Qi said with a smile but not a smile, "You accepted my charity, shouldn't you say something to express it, Your Royal Highness the Princess?"

The beautiful face spit out one word with anger and humiliation:

"Thank you."
