fog city detective

Chapter 495

Liang Xi, who was kicked out of the charity dinner early because of changing plans, had no choice but to drive home. When he arrived at the apartment lobby, he waited for a man and a woman to greet him, and handed a letter to Liang Xi after identifying himself.The letter was written by the Blood Moon Elders, stating that the Blood Moon invitation will be held in the near future.

The letter focuses on two things. The first thing: this invitation will be held in the high seas southwest of the UK, and it is not ruled out that some people will use extreme methods during the blood moon invitation.Although the blood moon will try its best to ensure the safety of the guests, it does not rule out the objective danger, so Liang Xi can participate or not.The second thing: This blood moon invitation is a competition system. Currently, there are [-] guests confirmed to participate in the blood moon invitation. What is uncertain is the willingness of the previous guests to participate.

The letter clearly stated that the [-] guests will each represent their own faction to participate in the Blood Moon invitation, and the guests other than the [-] guests are neutral guests.After explaining the reason, Blood Moon wanted to establish the Presbyterian Council, so he sent invitations to all Blood Moon members. As of the registration date, a total of [-] Blood Moon members officially replied that they would participate in the Blood Moon invitation and compete for the position in the Blood Moon Presbyterian Council. Five to seven seats.Consider the physical status of Blood Moon members, and agree to hire a substitute to participate in the Blood Moon invitation.

The letter did not specify the relationship between the neutral faction and the rival faction, but only clearly introduced the outline of this Blood Moon invitation and gave Liang Xi and the others the right to choose.

Liang Xi has always admired Xue Yue's style.Do things with credibility, put the villain first and then the gentleman, explain the rules clearly and plainly, and give the guests plenty of room to choose.

……

The neutral guests are still the same ones, Anthony from Eastern Europe, House from the United States, Poppy from the Clement family, Chris from Denmark, Fanny from the Orphan Society, and Liang Xi from the Rose Detective Agency.

On the second day after the Blood Moon Open Letter was issued, House called all the neutral guests hoping to get together.Bobby, as the host, undertook the dinner the day after tomorrow.All the neutral guests will be present, except for Fanny who has made it clear that she will not attend.Blood Moon originally planned to send a 25-year-old girl to the neutral party dinner, but was opposed by House and had to give up.This girl is the heir of the Blood Moon Steward, commonly known as the Intern Steward.

Liang Xi found some small problems from this information. The Earl of Blood Moon is the real elder of Blood Moon, and the steward of Blood Moon is the chief steward of the Earl of Blood Moon's family.This intern butler is the intern butler of Blood Moon, and has no direct relationship with Earl Blood Moon, nor is he an employee of Earl Blood Moon.

Liang Xi contacted Karin in New York for the details. Karin had found the address of Earl Blood Moon's recuperation in Canada through the medical system.Karin contacted a professor in Canada by email, hoping to go to Canada to sit in on the professor's course, and the professor agreed.The day after tomorrow, Karin will go to Canada and stay in Canada for about ten days. The university she audits is less than [-] kilometers away from the nursing home.

The communication between Liang Xi and Karin uses satellite encrypted phone, which is expensive, but they can skip the service provider and contact directly, which can effectively prevent eavesdropping and positioning.As for where Karin got the satellite phone, Liang Xi didn't ask.Satellite phones are not uncommon in modern society. People far away from cities, such as sailors, prospectors, and Arctic and Antarctic scientific expedition teams, are basically equipped with satellite phones.The security level of ordinary satellite phones is not very high. If you hold a phone to contact him, you must go through the base station established by the service provider. As long as you can obtain the permission of the service provider, you can eavesdrop.The satellite phone you hold to contact him, the signal is transmitted through the satellite, as long as you can query the data transmitted by the satellite, you will still be eavesdropped.However, the main function of this type of phone is not encryption, but communication.Let people in the wild sea have the means to communicate with the outside world.

The satellite encrypted phone that Karin obtained is obviously a communication phone whose main function is security.From the bottom of her heart, Karin thinks that Liang Xi is making a big fuss, but Liang Xi is extremely nervous because it concerns her own safety.The fact is also the same. After thinking about all the possibilities, rational people like Liang Xi found a possibility that Liang Xi could not accept: Karin was killed because she helped him investigate John's death.Even if he avenges Karin in the future, negative attitudes such as guilt and self-blame may accompany Liang Xi's life.

……

Liang Xi arrived at Bobby's mansion on the morning of the neutral party's meeting, ready to eat, drink and play for a day.Parked the car in the parking space next to the gate, and walked to the main building, Liang Xi met the little girl Nili on the road.Nili was the little girl Liang Xi rescued before the stadium bombing.It was also because the Mediterranean focused on Niri, which led to the stadium bombing.

Niri is not very old, and she is already very beautiful. After several months of etiquette, language learning, and a little makeup, she will stand out in any crowd.Liang Xi inquired and learned that Nili is now living with her sister Sasha and studying in a private middle school.Sasha hopes that Neely can be admitted to a university in two years, and Bobby has already helped Neely get the identity.

Niri would go to work at Bobby’s mansion on weekends and holidays, and the working hours were not long.Since Bobby himself has never talked about weekends and holidays, it is equivalent to Bobby's disguised support to Neely.Standing on the balcony on the second floor, Bobby shouted down: "Liang Xi, don't stand in the way on the road, take your little wife to the guest room to chat alone."

Liang Xi raised his fist at Bobby and popped out a middle finger. Bobby said indifferently, "Nili, do you like Liang Xi? Hug him if you like."

Nili blushed, and couldn't say anything to Bobby. He nodded to Liang Xi and left the scene in a panic.Liang Xi looked up: "Are you sick?"

"Come on!" Liang Xi read the exhaustion from Bobby's tone.Liang Xi didn't know how exhausted his mental state was, but Bobby, who was in a normal state, would never let go of the opportunity to make fun of himself.

Liang Xi's condition is not bad, it's normal for some people to like him.Just like Karin also has many suitors.Excellent boys and girls must have suitors or admirers around them.But Liang Xi is not Duan Yu after all, he will get bored when he meets a girl who likes him.It is a happy thing for someone to like yourself, but it is not necessarily a good thing to accept the other person.

Bobby was wearing a set of white casual clothes, having tea and snacks in the living room on the second floor, a classic English morning tea.Without waiting for him to greet him, Liang Xi walked over and sat down by himself, and smelled it: "The tea seems to be okay."

"Cut!" Bobby poured tea for Liang Xi and asked, "I heard that my mother called you last night."

"Well, she begged me not to see you again. I asked her what's good, and she said she could give me money. I asked her how much, she said 1 million, and I said Bobby gave 2 million."

"Don't be kidding."

Liang Xi said: "Hehe, I'm not joking, it's basically true. Your mother scolded and begged, asking how I can let you go. Is something wrong?"

"I'm sorry." Bobby was a little helpless: "She begged me last night not to participate in the blood moon invitation."

"How does she know?"

"Blood Moon is mentally ill. She sent someone to deliver the letter in what age. After reading the letter, she knelt down to me and said that I can do whatever I want, as long as I don't participate in this Blood Moon invitation."

Liang Xi picked up the cupcake and asked while eating: "Very annoying?"

Bobby: "Well, I agreed to her. The condition is to divorce my father and leave the house."

"Wow! You are ruthless."

Bobby said: "She said, I can do whatever I want." Of course, Bobby said it in a fit of anger, being kidnapped by his family made him extremely annoyed.

Liang Xi said: "She began to cry about how good she was to you, how much she sacrificed, how you treated her like this, she was very chilled, and wanted to die."

Bobby asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Liang Xi replied: "Traditional culture. But she may not be wrong, and you may not be right. What will happen in the end? Do you participate or not?" Parents prevent their daughter from marrying someone. It is hard to say whether it is right or wrong, it depends on the result.Interestingly, if the parents prevent success, they cannot prove that the result is right or wrong, and the daughter may resent her parents if her life is slightly unsatisfactory in the future.If the parents fail to prevent it, the daughter will be miserable after marriage, and the daughter will resist the teachings of the parents, and the relationship with the parents will deteriorate.If the parents fail to prevent it, it is the best ending for the daughter to be happy after marriage.

Things with strong subjective emotions are difficult to judge right from wrong, or there is a saying: It is difficult for an upright official to judge housework.

Was Bom wrong?Really not, because after Bobby mixed with Liang Xi, the risk index rose sharply, at least much higher than when he knew Liang Xi.The blood moon invitation has already shown the danger. In Bomu's view, this is a meaningless gathering. She will not let Bobby do it just because he wants to.

Bobby bowed his head for a long time and said, "I won't participate."

Liang Xi nodded: "The right choice."

Bobby said: "You can persuade me."

"No!" Liang Xi stood up, took tea and went to the balcony of the living room on the second floor to admire the greenery of the mansion: "I came early." If he knew that Bobby would not participate in the blood moon for this reason, Liang Xi would not have come early.The main topic during the day was the Blood Moon invitation, and House's purpose of inviting all neutral guests.

Liang Xi himself did not give in to Bomu in his attitude. He thought that he had given Bomu enough face, and Bomu had no right to interfere with his behavior.On the phone last night, Liang Xi asked Bo Mu, who do you think I will save when you fell into the river with Bobby.Bomo naturally said Bobby.Liang Xi told Bo Mu, since you know that I will save Bobby, why do you think I will change my attitude towards Bobby because of you?

After Liang Xi hung up the phone, he thought of his own mother, Ouyang Lan, who also cared about him.But Liang Xi thinks that Ouyang Lan's feelings for him are more of guilt, and after deducting the guilt, he is nothing compared to his half-brother.John and Mary never stopped any of Liang Xi's ideas and practices.In high school, Liang Xi and two classmates rode 10 kilometers to spend the night in a legendary haunted house. Normal parents would not agree, but John and Mary did not object.It's just that John gave Liang Xi a satellite phone before leaving, so that Liang Xi could make a call if necessary.

Bobby drank tea silently, and Liang Xi returned to the living room from the balcony. Bobby said: "I told you once, there are people outside my father, so it can be said that I have a family. I have a younger brother and an older sister who share the same father and mother. , and a half-brother and a sister."

Liang Xi was surprised: "Your sister is older than you?" That means that before the birth of Bobi, Bo's father had already settled down outside.

Bobby nodded and said, "She came to see me a few days ago."

Liang Xi asked, "Why?"

Poppy said, "Not everyone forgets their friends' birthdays."

Liang Xi was surprised: "Your birthday?"

Bobby: "Exactly."

"Happy birthday to you." It's that simple between men. If you don't say it yourself, the ghost will think of your birthday.

Bobby rolled his eyes, and Liang Xi counterattacked: "When is my birthday?"

Bobby was startled, and replied, "I have Daisy."

"Come back to business." Too lazy to argue.

Bobby said: "I think my sister is a good one. My father mentioned to me between him that he was considering my sister as his assistant. She came to see me just to get my opinion. She assured me that any grievances And if she disagrees, she will not take office. I asked her, is my opinion that important? She replied that the opinion of the patriarch is very important to any member of the family."

Bobby: "This sentence touched me. My mother and my brothers and sisters don't have the concept of family in their minds, they only have the concept of family, and their definition of family is very narrow. Being able to unite with my mother is a good boy , Those who face my father are disobedient children. As the patriarch, I may do a bad thing, I want to include the women outside my father and their children in the family list."

Liang Xi said, "Your mother will kill you."

Bobby said: "She said that as long as I don't participate in the blood moon invitation, I can do whatever I want."

Liang Xi said, "She will still kill you."

Bobby said: "Don't worry about this. Before that, I need an investigation report. It's not convenient for me to communicate directly with House. I need you to help me deal with this matter. In addition, I also want to reform the family rules and expand the family scale, while controlling the scale. Do you have any suggestions?"

Liang Xidao: "Suggestion? I suggest a selection system, whether it is next of kin or immediate or distant relatives, to participate in the selection of family talents fairly. The winners will enter the family system and hold important positions in the group and the family. These people are for you, Serve your son, your grandson."

"Oh? That's interesting. How did you come up with it?"

Liang Xidao: "This is the ancient Chinese imperial examination system. Don't ask me an outsider about your nonsense, okay? I have nothing to talk to you today. I will go to the movie room to rest. If you have nothing to do, don't bother me."

Bobby wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and watched Liang Xi leave helplessly.They also talk about these topics in their daily chats, but they stop there.Apparently, Bobby interfered strongly in Bobby's life, imprisoned Bobby's thoughts today, and made his thoughts stay in his home and family.Liang Xi didn't have any interest in such topics, the most important reason was that he was an outsider, as an outsider, he couldn't give pointers to Bobby's family and family, let alone make suggestions.

From Liang Xi's point of view, Bobby and Bomu are people of the same dimension.After becoming Blonde, Bobby's latitude gradually deviated from Bom's latitude.Pomo's friends are still those women, Pomo's favorite people are still children, and Pomo's greatest concern is property.Bobby's current circle is full of strange people and strange things, fighting for life and death with the Holy Banner, fighting with the Mal gang at close range, and helicopter raids...

Rejecting this blood moon invitation, Liang Xi thought that Bobby was leaving his current latitude and returning to his original life.Blonde would never miss a Blood Moon invitation, but Poppy would.

Regardless of whether Bobby participates or not, Liang Xi respects Bobby's choice.
