Chapter 190 Goodbye Wendy
The topic was successfully changed, and everyone discussed the location of the gallery.This kind of topic is quite boring, but it is more suitable for chatting.Then we talked about football, no accident, as a Belgian-French combination, Clichy's favorite Premier League team is Manchester United.This is unbearable, West Ham United's Liang Xi and Tottenham's Bobby jointly derogatory Manchester United, which makes Chris puzzled, is Manchester United really so bad?Chris is a die-hard fan of the French Marseille team and has a dispensable attitude towards Manchester United. Since Manchester United is not good, he can change it.

Chris asked the two to go to Manchester City together after he recovered from his injury to watch the Champions League group match between Manchester United and Paris. This is a game of sparks hitting the earth.But the two are not interested in the Champions League, because only Chelsea in London participate in the Champions League.For Liang Xi and Bobby, this year's Champions League is dead.

When the three men were chatting about football, Sierra looked at the three quietly, focusing more on Chris.Once he changed his work, he ignored any off-site factors and people's attitudes.

At the end of the meeting, Bobby's housekeeper, Daisy, called and said that there was a small supermarket across the road from Kent Park Plaza, and there was more than [-] square meters of space on the second floor for rent.Bobby left the leasing phone number to Chris, and also gave Chris the phone number of the decoration company under the group subsidiary, asking Chris to make an appointment to talk about design.

Chris said that he would go over to have a look first, and Bobby reminded Chris that if you like it, do it quickly.Don't find out that it has been rented out during the on-site inspection.Bobby said that he could ask Sierra to take pictures, and if it was suitable, he could arrange the landlord to sign the contract at the hospital in the afternoon, and meet the decorator in the evening.The decoration drawing will be released tomorrow, and the work can start the day after tomorrow.When Chris came out of the hospital, there was a finished gallery waiting for him.

Before leaving, Bobby asked, "Money is not a problem, is it?"

Chris hurriedly said, "No, no, I have money."

……

After leaving the hospital, waiting at the door for a while, the bodyguard drove over, and Bobby and Liang Xi went to have lunch together.In the car, Liang Xi asked a question: "Do you like Sierra or Chris?"

Bobby was startled: "What's the problem?"

Liang Xi asked: "Don't you think you talk a lot in the hospital? It's a bit too enthusiastic. You have left the status of a rich man and become a housekeeper who cares about every detail. You hope to speak more in front of Sera to arouse Sera's attention." Attention, or hope Chris likes you?"

Bobby looked at Liang Xi and asked, "Is it obvious?"

Liang Xi nodded: "A little bit."

Bobby said nothing, and Liang Xi didn't ask.Today I ate a buffet, a seafood buffet, which was opened by a girlfriend of Bobby's friend. Bobby ate to cheer for his friend, and the bodyguards also ate in different shifts in the restaurant under the arrangement of the chief bodyguard.

After Liang Xi and Bobby judged the taste of the food, Bobby changed the subject: "Do you think Sera has a magical power?"

"magic?"

"When she rolled her eyes, she was a little naughty, but not angry. She was very cute and spiritual."

"Fuck." Liang Xi looked at Bobby: "Are you in love?"

Bobby didn't even deny it: "I thought I wouldn't be in love."

Liang Xi looked at Bobby while eating crab meat, and said after a long time, "Selah likes Chris."

Poppy said, "But I found out today that Chris doesn't like Sierra."

Liang Xi thought for a while: "Don't ask me this question. Although Chris is not a good friend, he is still a friend, a friend in need. It is better for you to handle the women's affairs by yourself." Sera is not short, 1.6 meters Three, with the figure and appearance, she is a girl with very good appearance.Compared with Sierra's small and exquisite shape, Liang Xi prefers a big beauty like Karin.

Liang Xidao: "I can only tell you that Daofeng checked Serra's background and asked me to cooperate with him to test Serra several times. So far, I have not found any problems with Serra. The only thing is that Serra has a relatively withdrawn personality. No friends. She's a tech nerd, unlike everything you've ever dated."

Bobby nodded: "It's decided, I want to chase her."

Liang Xi was noncommittal.

Poppy asked, "How do you go after a girl?"

Liang Xi didn't kill Bobby with a sip of water, and you actually asked me such a question?You've slept with more women than I've ever met.

Poppy explained: "I'm not serious about chasing girls."

Liang Xidao: "The cliché point is to pick up and drop off work, give gifts, make appointments to eat, and watch movies. The cliché is always useful. After falling in love with Karin, I discovered something. Girls want to like you, and you come from London. You can walk as far as Liverpool. If girls don’t like you, they will drive tens of millions of convertible cars. Sierra obviously doesn’t have much opinion of your money and appearance. Sierra has a crush on Chris. In this case Next, I don't think you can catch Sera. Not only can't you catch up, maybe you don't even have friends to do it."

Liang Xi said: "So we have to proceed step by step, be friends first, and sneak in. Sooner or later, Sierra will show love to Chris. If Chris accepts, it's none of your business. If Chris refuses, it's yours." Golden opportunity. But Sierra doesn’t live in London, you can take a stake in her diamond cybersecurity company, and locate the office in London, increasing the time and opportunity for Sierra and Chris to contact you. Under the action of such a catalyst, I Think about it for a month or two and you will see clear results."

Bobby said: "During this period, I want to be friends with Chris, and I can't reveal any thoughts about Sierra."

Liang Xi said: "Perhaps, this thing is unpredictable. I can only deduce a golden node based on logic. But maybe when you confessed your love, Sera would panic and agree? I don't know."

Poppy asked, "Do you think Sierra is right?"

Liang Xi said, "I don't know either."

Poppy asked, "Do you think you and Karin are compatible?"

Liang Xi replied: "A man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance, a jackal and a tiger and a leopard are a perfect match like no other in the world."

Bobby nodded: "Love really can make people lose their rational judgment. So, I really like Sierra."

Liang Xi didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, after all, Chris was also considered a friend.Pair Poppy with Sierra myself, sorry Chris.I'm doing Bobby a disservice, I'm sorry Bobby.You'd better make love triangles on your own.

There are many people asking how to chase girls, and they have already lost when they asked this question.You should ask: how to pick up girls.In a certain sense, scumbag is no longer a derogatory term. The reason why Bobby the scumbag is invincible is of course because his conditions are related to the groups he contacts, but the paozijue is the core of the core.As for the difference between chasing and soaking, I can't say that, you can understand it yourself.

Liang Xi is not optimistic about the result of Bobby's pursuit of girls, since he is young, let's make a fuss.Looking back years or decades later, failure can be fun.You can even remember the voice, smile, appearance and information of the girl who failed to pursue you, but you can't remember the name of the girl who slept with you.

While Liang Xi and Bobby were having a seafood buffet, Chris Thresh received a call, hung up the phone and said to Sera, "Big order, £50 million, cool. We're calling people, we're about to start work."

……

A few days later in the morning, the happy and comfortable Liang Xi drove a Beetle to the detective agency. He had already thought about what to read and what to have for lunch today.When she was about to go upstairs, she looked up and saw the little devil Wendy, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, resting her chin on her hands and sitting on the steps with her schoolbag on her back.Liang Xi came back and leaned aside thinking, today is Monday, why didn't this little thing go to school?
Leaving half of his head peeping, he found that Wendy was also looking at him, Liang Xi retracted his head: "Hey, the boss of the detective agency has fallen into a ditch, and it will not open today."

Unexpectedly, Wendy went downstairs, stood in front of Liang Xi, looked up at Liang Xi, her eyes were too clean, Liang Xi couldn't judge the expression.Staring at each other for a while, Liang Xi had no choice but to take Wendy's hand and walk towards the detective agency.After opening the door, Liang Xi took out his mobile phone to contact Wendy's parents.Wendy's mother was very surprised and kept apologizing, saying that she was at work and went to pick up Wendy immediately, the journey is quite far, please ask Liang Xi to take care of Wendy first.

Liang Xi put a can of soda in front of Wendy and sat down. Wendy took out her water glass angrily: "I have it myself." She opened it and took a sip before looking at Liang Xi, expressing her provocation and dissatisfaction.

Liang Xi laughed for a while, feeling that the atmosphere was still dry, and asked helplessly, "Okay, what's the matter?"

Wendy turned her head to look at the side without saying a word, Liang Xi said, "Your mother will be here in a while."

Wendy turned her head, with a dissatisfied expression on her face, and said, "Ben is gone."

Liang Xi asked, "Who is Xiao Ben?"

Wendy: "You know."

Liang Xi thought for a while: "That kid who is your neighbor, whose parents are not at home all year round, and asks your aunt to take care of it?"

Wendy said: "He's not a kid, he's nine years old."

"Amazing."

Wendy didn't hear the perfunctory, and said: "We get on the school bus together every day, and he didn't come today. When I was waiting for the school bus, I went to find Xiao Ben, and there was no one in his house."

Liang Xi said, "Maybe he was sick and went to the hospital."

Wendy said, "Do you have police friends?"

Liang Xi didn't want to have a verbal argument with Wendy. According to the previous practice, he would definitely lose.Liang Xi picked up the phone.The Baihan community belongs to the Southern District, Liang Xi contacted Baker, and Baker contacted the sheriff to find out the situation.

"Gobang?"

Wendy nodded.

A few rounds of backgammon were played, and before Wendy's mother arrived, Baker's news came first.The sheriff contacted Xiaoben's aunt, who said she had asked for leave from the school.The reason was that Ben's mother was in a car accident on the way to work in Nottingham, and the situation was serious. My aunt drove Ben to Nottingham to meet his parents.

Liang Xi thought for a long time after hanging up the phone, and then made a call: "Fiona, help me locate a phone number...don't ask just yet...I'll give you the number and let me know if I have any news."

Liang Xi contacted Baker: "Xiao Ben seems to have a problem."

Baker asked, "What's the problem?"

Liang Xi said: "If my aunt is not lying, my aunt and Xiao Ben should go out to Nottingham around [-]:[-] in the morning, and then I can drive out of London after [-]:[-]." Even though it takes two hours to drive from London to Nottingham.But regardless of the traffic jam, it takes at least an hour to drive north from the Bohan community to leave London.

Liang Xi explained again: "I figured that my aunt should at least clean up. 10 minutes is not too much, after all, she has a child. Then my aunt received a call from Nottingham at [-]:[-]. Let's guess, what time was the car accident?" After the car accident, you must be sent to the hospital first. Xiaoben’s father is also in Nottingham. The hospital or the police will notify Xiaoben’s father as soon as possible. After Xiaoben’s father arrives at the hospital, he will ask Aunt Xiaoben after he has calmed down. Therefore, we It can be inferred that Xiao Ben's mother was in a car accident when she was leaving for work before six o'clock in the morning."

Baker understood: "There are not many occupations that go to work at this time." Either early, two or three in the morning.Or later.Baker called the technical staff, and the technical staff found Xiao Ben's mother's phone number. As soon as the call came, they knew that the aunt was lying.Xiao Ben's mother had just woken up.

Baker contacted Liang Xi to explain the situation, and asked, "What do you think of Xiao Ben's situation?"

Liang Xi walked to the office area next door and said, "The first possibility is that Ben is dead. The second possibility is that Ben is not dead, so there are more possibilities. If it's convenient, can I go to Xiaoben's house to see?"

Baker said: "Okay, we have taken over the investigation of this case. We will arrange manpower to check the traffic arteries and follow standard procedures." The case of missing children is one of the most important cases.The situation is unclear now, but if it is confirmed that he was kidnapped, the search will be extremely large and even spread to several surrounding towns.

Liang Xi disagreed with the big fanfare. The current information is not clear, and he is not sure whether a large-scale search is a good idea.But this is the basic coping method, and Liang Xi didn't say anything.

It is said that in the first baby case in Sweden, 20 minutes after the parents called the police, the entire city of Gothenburg was blocked, causing a major traffic jam. 60 helicopters and all police forces were dispatched, and surrounding towns sent 40% of their police forces to Gothenburg.The police issued a network-wide notice, which was played back and forth non-stop.The baby was eventually found in the parking lot of a supermarket during a nearly two-hour search across the city, and the suspect was arrested.

Liang Xi felt that the case of Xiaoben might be different because aunt and Xiaoben were together.Unless the aunt killed Xiao Ben, the sign that the aunt fled with Xiao Ben could not be explained.There is also the possibility of manslaughter, after all, no one can beat a brat's anger.But if my aunt killed Xiao Ben by mistake, she should find the backbone first, that is, Xiao Ben's uncle.Uncle and aunt's house is only one kilometer away from Xiaoben's house.

While speaking, Wendy's mother arrived, and she kept apologizing to Liang Xi for causing Wendy trouble.Instead, Liang Xi excused Wendy, saying that what Wendy said might be true, and the police had already intervened in the investigation.After chatting casually, Wendy's mother is going to send Wendy to school.Liang Xi squatted down and gave Wendy the note with Baker's phone number on it: "This is the most handsome and powerful policeman in London. If you have any questions, call him directly."

Wendy nodded and took the note, put down her schoolbag on her left shoulder, took a five pound note from it and handed it to Liang Xi.Liang Xi laughed in embarrassment, brat, I didn't take it out a long time ago, so I don't have the nerve to accept it now.Liang Xi gently put the money back into Wendy's pocket, and said goodbye to Wendy's mother and daughter.After locking the door and going downstairs, Liang Xi drove to Xiaoben's house.

Several cars were parked in front of Xiaoben's house, including police cars and ordinary vehicles. A cordon was drawn at the door, and a policeman stood beside the cordon.Liang Xi pulled over and walked over, but was stopped by the police. Baker appeared at the door of Xiaoben's house, whistled and nodded to let him go. The police helped Liang Xi pull up a cordon to let Liang Xi sneak in.

Baker's attitude is wrong!Liang Xi walked into the main entrance, and then knew why Baker's attitude was wrong.A young boy, accompanied by a policewoman, sits on the sofa in the living room and watches TV.Liang Xi has seen this little boy before, he is Xiaoben.

What the hell?Aunt said to take Xiao Ben to Nottingham, but Xiao himself was at home.
