On September 6, at 8:20, the crisp sound of horse hooves and the sound of carriage wheels rubbing against the curb stones on the street came.
Then, someone started ringing the doorbell.
Mr.
Cat, who was leaning on the armchair, put down the coffee in his hand: "It sounds like a two-wheeled carriage."
He stretched his neck and looked out the window: "Yeah, a very cute little carriage, and a pair of beautiful pure horses. , worth at least one hundred and fifty guineas each, it seems we have a very wealthy client on our first case here.”
Wang Xu was playing poker boredly on the side: "How do you know it's the client?
Didn't you say yesterday that before a certain relationship is established in the private detective circle, there may not be any business coming to your door within a month?"
Mr.
Cat didn't bother to explain how he deduced the fact that the other party was the client.
It was the same whether he said it or not, because the landlord, Mrs.
Hodson, had already arrived at the door.
After a brief knock on the door, she walked in, holding a Tray with a business card on it.
This sudden visit obviously made Mrs.
Howardson quite unhappy.
She said, "There is a gentleman downstairs who wants to see me."
Master Cat replied: "Ask him to come up."
Two minutes later, slow and heavy footsteps sounded on the stairs, the sound went from the stairs to the corridor, and finally stopped at the door.
A tall man walked in, really tall, no less than six feet six inches at least, with a broad chest and powerful limbs.
His clothes are very gorgeous, which can even be described as magnificent.
The front of the double-breasted coat has lambskin trim at the slits.
The dark blue cloak draped over the shoulders is lined with scarlet silk.
There is a flame-shaped brooch pinned to the collar, and there is also a piece of inlaid in it.
Not a small emerald.
In addition, he wears a pair of calf-high leather boots with dark brown fur on the boot cuffs, which directly gives people the impression of a rough and luxurious appearance.
In the UK, guys who dress up like this on weekdays usually go out.
It is regarded as "typical vulgarity" by those "upper-class" cultural people.
"Who is Mr.
Logan?"
He looked at Mao Ye and Wang Xu with questioning eyes.
Mr.
Cat said: "I am, this is my assistant Mr.
Atkinson."
The pseudonym used on Wang Xu's passport is Rowan Atkinson, because this is his favorite British comedian.
"You are Chinese."
It was difficult to conceal the surprise on his face.
You must know that these days, the chance of meeting a Chinese in London is almost zero, and these two people still don't have braids.
"I think it has no impact on what we're going to talk about next.
At least I think my English is pretty good."
The man glanced at Wang Xu again: "Mr.
Logan, I hope your assistant is a decent young man and acts very prudently, otherwise I would rather talk to you alone."
Wang Xu thought to himself: This is not because I don’t know the goods, but because I am afraid of comparing goods.
Maybe putting me in a crowd is not considered decent, let alone acting prudently, but when I stand next to a guy like Master Mao, That level of consciousness Master Mao didn't know what Wang Xu was thinking about distracting him, so he replied without hesitation: "You can rest assured that in my business, I do the best job, especially in keeping the client's private information confidential, and Mr.
Atkinson is like He is my right-hand man, Mr.
Johnson, the famous British writer Boswell, who has a very professional ethics."
The man thought about it again and again before speaking: "Well, first of all, I must clarify that the dignitary who sent me here is unwilling to reveal his true identity, so please don't ask."

Mr.
Cat interrupted him directly: "This nonsense will only take up my precious time.
Please answer me a question first, who are you?"
Wang Xu was sitting next to him and was a little stunned.
What he said just now sounded like human language.
Why did he change his attitude all of a sudden?
The man's expression obviously changed, and his palms were sweating: "What do you mean, I should have given you my business card.
I am Count von Kram."
Before he could finish the sentence, Mr.
Cat snapped his fingers as if by magic, and the business card appeared in his hand, and then he threw it into the fireplace with a flick of his hand.
"Oops, I accidentally burned it.
I didn't even have time to look at it."
The client's eyes followed the flight path of the business card to the fireplace.
He clearly saw that the business card was inserted into the stone on the edge of the fireplace and then slowly turned into ashes.
Mr.
Cat stood up, walked over and patted the man on the shoulder: "This business card is too new.
It was just printed today.
I have no interest in a fake name."
Wang Xu had no doubts about the correctness of this reasoning.
Just a few days ago, Mr.
Mao talked to him about various fake document production techniques and identification methods, etc., using their fake passports as an example, and said The story is roughly about how he used his excellent reasoning ability to find a local counterfeiting professional in London, and provided help and guidance to him, which raised his business level to a big level.
As a result, people were so impressed that they were so impressed that they were embarrassed Ask him for money Getting back to the topic, the client stood up abruptly.
He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
He paced back and forth quickly in the room.
After about a minute of intense ideological struggle, he finally sat down again with an almost desperate attitude: " Mr.
Logan, you are much more capable than I thought.
Please don’t mind if I offended you in any way.”
Mr.
Cat also sat down again and returned to his polite attitude: "Of course you don't mind.
Then please answer my previous question first, so that I can serve you better."
"Okay my real name is George Gervais Gismund von Elstein."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Mr.
Cat's mouth: "Haha, are you a member of the royal family?"
Elstein replied: "Well, it's no longer the case.
As far back as the last century, my family was exiled because of a dissolute and spendthrift person.
By the Regency period, my grandfather was the only one left.
He settled in an old house passed down from his ancestors and several acres of barren land.
He drank alcohol all year round and lived the life of a lonely prince.
But my father changed everything.
He borrowed money from some relatives to get a medical degree.
He later went to Calcutta to practice medicine and made a prosperous life with his medical skills and natural resilience.
He married my mother while he was in India.
My grandfather was a major general in the Bangladesh Artillery Regiment.
He died young of a tropical disease, so after my father got married, he took my mother back to England and started a business.
In fact, his talent for business seemed to be even more outstanding.

By the time I was a teenager, our family had become one of the richest families in England, with our property extending beyond the borders of the county, reaching as far north as Berkshire and as far west as Hampshire is full of our family's influence.
I have said so much, and you may find it wordy.
In fact, I just want to explain that my father attaches great importance to my character.
He does not want me to repeat the behavior of the prodigal sons of my ancestors, so if I do something that will make him This is intolerable, and he will even disqualify me from inheriting the inheritance. " Mr.
Cat smiled and said, "So your commission must be related to a certain lady."
Elstein sighed: "Yes, that's the thing.
A few years ago, I had a relationship with a woman named Eileen Jones.
She was so talented and beautiful that all other women paled in comparison.
All the men who have seen her have fallen in love with her, and of course I am no exception."
Master Mao interjected: "There is no need to tell me about your relationship history with her.
I think you don't want to reveal too many private things.
Just tell me what you need me to do."
Elstein replied: "It has been a while since we broke up, but she still has something that is very detrimental to my inheritance.
It is an envelope.
I have tried many ways to negotiate with her, but she She just refused to return it, and later I even hired someone to steal it from her house, but I searched her house three times and still couldn't find it."
Mr.
Cat asked: "Oh, let me ask a few questions.
First, have you ever been secretly married?"
"No."
"Then there shouldn't be any legal documents to prove your relationship."
"No."
"I don't understand this.
If it's just a few improperly worded love letters, how can she prove that the things are not forged?
You know, with your status and worth, anyone who wants to forge something to blackmail you will never It will be in the minority.”
"That word is my note."
"Bah, I copied it" "I use personal letterhead."
"Stealed."
"The letter has my own seal on it."
"Copycat."
"And my photo"
"I found someone to follow and film."
"It's a photo of me and her" "Cut it."
"What did you say?"
"Yeah, misspoken, wait a minute, is this what the group photo looks like?"
Mr.
Cat's eyes suddenly became very ambiguous.
Wang Xu ignored them from the beginning and was playing cards by himself.
At this time, he complained in Chinese: "If there is a chance, I should introduce him to Brother Guan Xi."
Elstein said: "You should understand now.
This matter has a great impact on me.
I would like to ask you to use detective methods to deduce where she hid the things.
As for how to get them, I can do it separately."
Find someone to do it.”
Mr.
Cat sneered: "You must have deigned to go to a very dirty tavern and asked the bartender who the most unqualified and unknown detective in London was before you found me."

"Yes" he could only admit.
"You are pretending to be a messenger, as if you are seeking help on behalf of your boss or a friend.
You are undoubtedly planning that when the matter is successful, we will still know nothing about your real customer, so there is no danger of leaking the secret."
"That's right."
He continued to nod.
Mr.
Cat took a sip of coffee: "You are lucky, sir, because you met us.
If you find someone who can't see through the above things to help you, you will only fail in the end."
Elstein wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "So, Mr.
Logan, you have accepted this commission."
Mr.
Cat said: "Of course, but in terms of reward, I don't want money.
I want you to do something for me."
Elstein thought for a while: "What is it?"
"Haha, don't be nervous.
For you, it's just a piece of cake." aass4509291tss4509291ahrefaass4509291gtss4509291.com welcomes all book lovers to come and read.
