    Liang Xi explained to the butler: "The earl has three wills in total. The first is the will that entrusted a lawyer to testify and keep. The second is the sealed will. The third is the sealed will drawn up by the earl a few days before his death. I think  After reading the first two wills, I found that the property distribution in them was exactly the same, which made me wonder why the Earl had to draw up an identical will again?"

    Liang Xidao: "The answer is naturally the influence of Lady Dai. Judging from the conversations with several children, they more or less know that Dai Er has some problems. Lady Dai is the most favored by the Earl and his wife.  The same, dare to throw away the etiquette of the nobles and express your dissatisfaction. I talked with the maid and learned that Dai Er and Cook had dinner together. The maid must not know, and as a housekeeper, you will not take care of housework. Only Dai  Only when the earl didn¡¯t believe himself, did he look for evidence. The conversation between the father and daughter did not avoid the maid, which led to the maid knowing about Dai Er¡¯s meal with Cook.¡±

    Liang Xi said: "After learning that Cook and Dai Er had a private relationship, the Earl drew up a second sealed will. To the Earl's disappointment, Dai Er is still in contact with Cook, and may even be inquiring about the will.  You know the current technology, the paper bag seal is not impeccable, Cook can open the data bag, or not remove it from the signature, or use technology to remove the signature, or forge the signature.¡±

    Liang Xidao: "Dai Er knew how much he could get from the first will. After he learned that there was a new will, his heart was raised. He contacted Cook more frequently. I have never understood why Cook would abandon himself.  What about private contact with the prospective successor? I learned from others that Dai Er¡¯s wife and Cook¡¯s daughter are good friends and good girlfriends. I¡¯m sure you all know that, but you won¡¯t be with outsiders like me  Talk about other people's gossip."

    Liang Xi said: "I found out that before the third will was drawn up, you had a long chat with the doctor who came to see you. After that, your mood was very low, and you even got angry with the gardener and other staff. This is because you are working in Earl's Manor.  Nothing in thirty years. I guess the doctor had pronounced the earl's death sentence by then. So there was a third will."

    Liang Xi: "I have two guesses. The first guess: the purpose of the last will is to teach Cook a lesson. After all, Cook is the Earl's father's lawyer. At the same time, the Earl hopes that his descendants will not hire Cook again.  Two guesses: The earl wants to punish Cook, who betrayed the trust that the Davis family has placed in him for decades."

    Liang Xi waited for a while, saw that the steward did not respond, and continued: "That's right, the one who stole the will was none other than Earl Davis himself. The only thing I'm not sure about is the Earl's character. If my first guess is  That's right, the will should be in your hands, the housekeeper. You will take it out at an appropriate time when the will is announced tomorrow night. Don't embarrass Cook, don't let the family leave a stain, and gently remind Cook that he should take the initiative to tell David  It is only fitting that the Stanley family tender their resignation."

    The butler tasted it for a while and asked, "What if it's the second possibility?"

    Liang Xi said: "Then you sleep in your sleep, and I will go back to my detective agency as if nothing happened."

    The butler was curious: "Oh? That's all?"

    Liang Xi spread his hands: "I'm just a detective, not a policeman. I don't have a search warrant, and I don't have any evidence. If I talk nonsense, you will be sued for bankruptcy. Although I don't have much assets. As for Cook, I can only say sorry  gone."

    The steward said: "Cook is your employer, you should tell him what you think."

    Liang Xi shook his head: "What kind of employer is it if you don't pay?" He raised his eyebrows, you know the transportation fee.

    The butler really didn't understand what Liang Xi's eyebrows meant. He thought that the detectives that Cook could hire would never care about hundreds of thousands of pounds.  The housekeeper pondered for a while, stood up and entered his bedroom, took out the will from the drawer, and put it in front of Liang Xi: "You are right."

    Liang Xi said: "You can hand it over to Cook tomorrow night as planned."

    The steward said: "No, this is your reward, the reward you deserve. Although it is not in the plan, I think I should give you the will."

    Liang Xi hinted for the second time: "Rewards? Haha, I always thought the rewards were pounds. I hate it!"

    The butler was thinking about something else, and said: "Mr. Cook is not only the Earl's father's lawyer, but also the Earl's father's friend. The second sealed will is already the earl's hint to Mr. Cook. As the Davis family's lawyer  , he should have basic professional ethics. As for Dai Er's behavior, the Earl did not blame him, because he has been in the army for 12 years and has paid a lot for the family. He didn't want his son to embarrass himself in front of him, so he asked me to come after the funeral  Have a conversation with Dai Er. There is only one thing, let me persuade Dai Er to hand over his assets to a trust fund for investment management after paying off his debts."

    ?Xi thought thoughtfully: "This case has changed my views on the nobles. Although the nobles look down on the common people in their bones, they are well-educated."

    The butler smiled and replied: "Nobles can be arrogant, nobles can be conceited, and some nobles will even do some ridiculous things. But the nobles are also the most decent group of people, and they will not and cannot tarnish the image of their class. For this reason, they treat their children  Your education is very strict, because children represent the future of the nobility and the dignity of the family. As you said, they may look down on you, but they will not lack the basic courtesy you should have. "

    Liang Xi picked up the will and stood up, reaching out his hand: "It's a pleasure to chat with you."

    The housekeeper shook hands with Liang Xi: "I'm also very happy to meet a very interesting detective."

    Liang Xi walked towards the door and greeted him sideways: "Goodbye."

    The butler delivered to the door, stood by the door and said, "Good night, sir."

    ? At two o'clock in the morning, Liang Xi knocked on Cook's room, and Cook greeted him in his pajamas. Liang Xi handed over the will and said, "I have to go after I'm done."

    After Cook got the will, he checked the seal and confirmed that it was the real will.  Originally, I wanted to ask how I got it, but when I heard that Liang Xi was leaving, I asked, "Now?"

    Liang Xi replied: "I may have to tip the waiter tomorrow morning." You should be able to hear such an obvious hint?

    Cook thought that Liang Xi was joking, what is John's status, and he still cares about the tip money?  Cook was concerned about the will and asked, "Where did you find it?"

    Sure enough, ruthless people will not give twenty yuan.  Liang Xi replied: "After you read the will, I think you know what you should do. Good night, goodbye." When Cook found that the three wills were exactly the same, he should be able to guess the earl's intention.  As for where and how to find the will, why should I tell you?  waste of saliva
