    John recovered from the powder attack, motioned for Liang Xi to sit down, looked at Liang Xi and said gently: "My child, there is an idiom in Chinese called Dazhi Ruoyu. Do you know what it means?"

    Liang Xi explained: "A person who looks stupid is actually very smart. He seems to have done stupid things, but reaped good results."

    John nodded if he realized something, sat down, and said, "I told you a truth: the winner is the one who laughs last."

    Liang Xi vaguely felt bad.

    John took the water from Mary with his left hand, and patted the back of Mary's hand with his right hand to express his thanks.  John took the water and asked, "Does the medicine have any side effects?"

    Liang Xi replied: "Short."

    John: "Can't drive?"

    Liang Xi nodded: "Yes."

    John: "But I need to go to Reading."

    "Oh, Maika. Mary?" Liang Xi looked at Mary, and was tricked.

    Mary stood behind the sofa and rubbed John's shoulders: "You know, I love this man. I can deceive the whole world for him."

    Liang Xi was speechless: "It's fine if you lie to me. Didn't you consider hurting my young heart if you show your affection so much?"

    John laughed, opened the drawer of the coffee table, and pushed a business card in front of Liang Xi: "Contact Lawyer Cook when you arrive in Reading Town."

    Liang Xi asked, "Can I not go?"

    John smiled: "Liang Xi, I know you like being a detective."

    Liang Xi said: "You have pensions, so of course you can like to be detectives. Last year you traveled to the Mediterranean Sea for a month, and I didn't even earn a dollar."

    John said: "But you read the book of the detective agency."

    Liang Xi: "I can only read books. Old man, the past and present are not the same as in the past. Do you know how advanced technology is now? You can piece together fingerprints from ashes of paper, and you can know where you live from the elemental content of your hair."  How long. In modern times, detectives can only be a hobby, not a profession."

    John took the car keys and two fifty-pound notes from the drawer and put them on the coffee table.

    Liang Xi said: "Of course, it is also possible to have a part-time job occasionally." He reached out and took the money and car keys.

    John waved his hand lightly, indicating that Liang Xi could leave.

    Mary accompanied Liang Xi out of the living room, and said, "The girl who brought you here just now is very beautiful."

    Liang Xi said: "We are not suitable."

    Mary asked, "Why?"

    Liang Xi picked up the money in his hand: "Because of being poor."

    Mary laughed and gave Liang Xi a slap on the back: "Go."

    John came out of the living room and watched Liang Xi drive away in his Beetle. Mary said, "John, you can give him a little more money."

    John replied: "He has the ability to get rich, and he has the talent to be a detective. I worry that he will use his talent as a detective to get rich, and I hope he can use his ability to become a detective. He will have enough money, but not now."

    There are still more than 1,000 hereditary nobles in Britain, but there are very few nobles with money and land.  However, one-third of Britain's land is currently in the hands of a very small number of nobles. This kind of nobles are typical hereditary nobles of fiefdoms and are the real powerful.

    Cook, whom Liang Xi contacted in Reading Town, is a lawyer who provides legal services to a very small number of nobles.  A male assistant of Cook was in charge of guiding Liang Xi. After the two met outside Reading Town, the assistant was very dissatisfied with Liang Xi and even called Cook directly.  Cook reminded his assistants to treat Liang Xi politely.

    In view of Cook's attitude, the assistant asked the driver to drive ahead, he got into the Beetle driven by Liang Xi, and introduced the reason why Cook asked John to come to Reading.  The assistant was not dissatisfied with Liang Xi personally, but dissatisfied with Liang Xi's combination of jeans and T-shirt.  Because the place Liang Xi was going to was the manor of a nobleman.

    The Earl of Davis is the largest local landowner, a hereditary nobleman, and a member of the Upper Council.  In short, a remarkable man.  This great man passed away yesterday morning. Lawyer Cook rushed back to London from France and arrived at the earl's house at seven o'clock this morning. Lawyer Cook then discovered that the will that the earl kept in the safe at home was missing.

    Liang Xidao: "The law firm should have a backup will."

    The assistant explained: "The earl temporarily summoned Cook's lawyer three days ago to draw up a new will. Cook's lawyer rushed to France to deal with one of the earl's properties, and there was no chance to persuade the earl to back up the will."

    The assistant explained the legal issues, the employer has the right not to disclose the will to the lawyer, in which case there is no backup will.  becauseCook was in a hurry and did not send the will to a London lawyer, but placed the will in the safe behind the portrait in the earl's bedroom.  The loss of this will has made Cook a lot of trouble.

    If there is no new will, the old will must be effective.  However, when many people know that there is a new will, the old will cannot take effect.  In the event of loss of the new will, property can only be distributed in accordance with the intestacy.  The negligent party, Cook Law Firm, will also be sued in court and face huge claims.

    The people who can steal the will can only be the people in the earl's manor, and the people in the inner courtyard of the earl's manor, that is, the people who work and live in the main residence.  There are a total of eight suspects, including four children with inheritance rights and four staff members of the main residence.  Cook urgently contacted John, hoping that John could help him retrieve the lost will before he announced the will tomorrow night.

    Liang Xi persuaded: "When encountering a theft, we should call the police instead of looking for a detective."

    The assistant looked at Liang Xi with a dazed look on his face, can he call the police and need you?  Are you a detective?

    Liang Xi was despised, and said helplessly, "Then let's see." Nowadays, people's legal awareness is too weak.

    What he said made the assistant who was uncertain in his heart even more uncertain

    Earl Davis's manor has the style of a manor, not to mention the daily dozens of manor employees, and not to mention the grassland like a work of art. When it is said that there is a dedicated church in the manor, it makes people feel grand.  Money should be squandered like this.  The earl's body remained in the church for the time being. After the memorial service, he was buried directly in the backyard of the church, which was the ancestral cemetery of the earl's family.

    The main building of the manor occupies a large area. The earl's main residence is located in the middle of the manor, and the left building is the residence of his children.  Cook, as the earl's main lawyer, prohibited the earl's children and other non-main residence staff from entering on the grounds of counting the property of the main residence.

    At the entrance of the main residence, Liang Xi met the butler of the manor, a very traditional and typical British butler.  The security guard on one side asked for the car keys and drove Liang Xi's Beetle to the parking space.  When necessary, after the security intercom calls, someone will send the car to Liang Xi.
