Great Detective, Your Wife is Jealous Again!
Chapter 9: Stolen treasure
In the afternoon, Li Yanger came over to pick them up and went to find the client whom Li Yanger had met when he was in business. The client was a well-known partner in the city. The place to live is a bit far away, in a luxurious villa on the outskirts.
The scenery on the road was good. While Li Yanger was driving the car, he was chatting with An Shijin who was sitting in the co-pilot, while Chu Shian was sitting in the back seat holding a small hair ball. "Why do you want to discuss business today? I brought a cat." Li Yang looked through the rearview mirror and looked at the little hairball that was lazily nestled in Chu Shian's arms. "The little guy was injured. The boss bit his trouser leg and didn't let him go. The boss couldn't bear it, so he hugged him." An Shijin sighed slightly. Chu Shian really spoiled the cat. A cat also knows how to act like a baby. One person and one cat are very affectionate. Sometimes An Shijin looks at him and feels like an electric light bulb.
Chu Shian raised his head and glanced at the two of them faintly, then looked down at the little hair ball in his arms, frowning slightly: "It's asleep. When you go to see the guests, let's put it in the car." "But it's okay. It doesn't matter if you take it with you. Elder Zhang likes cats and won't mind." Li Yang'er smiled and comforted, before turning around to look at An Shijin. She seemed to think that today's An Shijin seemed a bit a bit. It's strange that I always look out the window in a daze from time to time. Although I want to ask questions, I can only think about when to find a time to ask.
Arriving in front of a mountain with nice scenery, Chu Shian was surprised to find that a ring of high iron fences surrounded the mountain, which seemed to enclose the entire mountain, leaving a road locked by a large iron gate, winding. Hovering to the top of the mountain. There was a security booth next to the iron gate. There were two security guards inside. They seemed to recognize Li Yang'er. He smiled politely when she saw her and immediately opened the iron gate and let them in. Li Yang'er grinned and thanked the two security guards, and drove the car slowly up a mountain road.
When I was just under the mountain, I could see from a distance a large villa on the top of the mountain, which covers a huge area and looks like a castle. Halfway up the mountain, you can see a large private golf course and a racecourse. On the road, there are occasionally a few bodyguards wearing black clothes and sunglasses pinned to the walkie-talkie. Seeing the car driving up, one by one watched vigilantly at the car. The defenses of Li Yang'er were very tight.
"What happened to this old man Zhang's house, unexpectedly hired so many bodyguards." An Shijin frowned, looking at a bodyguard standing a few steps outside, paying attention to them. "Actually, I am not very clear about the specific situation. Elder Zhang just revealed that he wanted to find a private investigator to investigate something, so I just introduced him to Detective Chu." Li Yang shook his head and said that he was not very clear. Chu Shian tilted his head to look at the bodyguards who occasionally rummaged in the grass outside, his clear and dark eyes narrowed slightly.
When he arrived in front of the villa, a well-groomed middle-aged man in a suit with a straight hair and combed hair was standing at the gate with a decent smile on his face. He walked over and introduced Li Yanger for a short while before he bowed slightly. Reached out and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Li, the chairman has been waiting for you since I answered your call." "Excuse me, butler Zheng." Li Yang'er changed his daring and frivolous smile on weekdays. Put on a gentle and elegant face. An Shijin stood aside, no surprises, the corners of his lips were slightly tucked, with a standard smiley expression.
"Steward Zheng, the cat I brought..." Chu Shian touched the head of the little hair ball in her arms. Although Li Yanger said that Mr. Zhang would not care, she still felt that she should politely ask, the housekeeper surnamed Zheng. He smiled kindly and said, "Ms. Chu, if you can rest assured, let me take care of it for you first. After all, with it, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to talk to the chairman of the board for a while." "Ok, then trouble you. It's gone." Chu Shian handed the sleeping little hair ball to the hand of Steward Zheng, and then the three of them, led by Steward Zheng, entered the gate of the villa.
This old man Zhang’s villa is extremely gorgeous. If you take a closer look at the paintings hanging on the walls, the inscriptions below are all famous painters throughout the ages. There are two medieval knight armors beside the hall door, which are all kinds of beautiful. Antique vases are placed in every corner, and even the floor on the ground is not made of ordinary wood. Li Yang'er has been here many times, and it is commonplace, but An Shijin also has a calm complexion, occasionally tilting his head and smiling at the left and right sides of his face, his expression is extremely calm. Chu Shian carefully looked at the decorations in the hall and the objects placed there. Although there was no expression on his face, he was still shocked. It seems that this old man is really not ordinary rich.
The butler arranged for the three of them to sit on the sofa in the hall, while he went upstairs to invite Mr. Zhang.
After a while, Mr. Zhang came down. He was a serious and flat-looking man in a tunic suit with a pipe in his mouth. He had gray hair on his temples, and he looked like he should be fifty or sixty years old, but he was exuding. But it is the aura of a superior, very compelling. However, as soon as he saw Li Yang'er when he went downstairs, he opened a smile on his face. Although the smile was a bit stiff, it was not difficult to see that it was genuine. He looked at Li Yang'er like a father.
"Uncle Zhang, let me introduce to you. This is what I mentioned to you last time, Miss Chu Shianchu, the private detective of the Cross Detective Agency, this... is her assistant, Miss An." Chu Shian stood up. With the attitude of a junior, respectful but proud, with a faint smile on his face: "It's an honor to see you, Dong Zhang." Old man Zhang nodded, reached out and shook Chu Shian's hand: "Fortunately to be lucky. Yes." When he turned his gaze to An Shijin, Mr. Zhang was shocked, and a light flashed in his muddy eyes: "An, Miss An is so good-faced, have I seen you somewhere?" "Dong Zhang is polite. Now, City H is so big, there must be people who look like it. I’m just a small person. Where can I see a big person like Zhang Dong." Old man Zhang narrowed his eyes and didn’t speak. A few points.
"Today, I invited Miss Chu to investigate something for me. Yang had always recommended you to me before, saying that you are an excellent private investigator. With the eyes of Yang, I have always believed that she would never I saw the wrong person. As long as Ms. Chu accepts my entrustment to help me find out the case, I will pay a lot of money." Old man Zhang sat on the sofa, bowed his head and gently wiped the pipe in his hand with a cloth. "Dong Zhang, please tell me the basic situation of the case you want to entrust to me. I will consider whether you can accept your entrustment based on whether I have the ability to solve the case." Chu Shian stood upright, facing the imposing Zhang The old man, looking straight at him, his tone was indifferent.
"Why don't you guess? I asked you to come here to entrust you with something." The old man Zhang spoke in a hurry and looked at Chu Shi'an with a deep gaze. He was so dumb. Li Yang'er frowned, feeling that Mr. Zhang was a little embarrassed, so he came here, and guessed what the commission was. Even Holmes would not be able to guess. An Shijin's complexion did not change, and his eyes fell on Chu Shian from time to time, with a deep but calm smile on the corners of his lips.
Chu Shian's expression did not change a little, but he pressed the brim of his hat, and said calmly, his eyes hidden in the shadows flashed with confident light: "I have been observing since I entered the mountain, a few steps away along the way. There was a bodyguard who was very wary of people coming outside, and several of them were leading well-trained dogs in the grass to search for something. And entering the hall, I found that Mr. Zhang should be an antique lover. The hall There are a lot of expensive antiques in the room. The anti-theft alarm should have just been installed in the room. So I guess that Zhang Dong should have lost some valuable things, and these things should still be in this mountain, I don’t know. Guess it right." Slender fingertips pointed to a hidden place in the living room. A small brand new black box was being installed on the corner of the table. It was looming. Without extremely keen eyes, it would be impossible to find it.
After listening to Chu Shian's words, Li Yang'er looked up at Grandpa Zhang for confirmation. On the other hand, An Shijin had a fascinating smile, staring at Chu Shian with gleaming eyes. "It seems that I did not find the wrong person." Elder Zhang did not answer directly, but put down the pipe in his hand, put away his arrogant attitude and looked at Chu Shian with admiration. When Mr. Zhang said this, everyone in the audience understood that Chu Shian was right. Zhang's mansion was indeed missing something, and that was why Chu Shian came to investigate.
"Old Zheng, close the door, don't let people come in without my instructions." Master Zhang waved and motioned for the housekeeper Zheng, who had been holding the small hair ball, to leave. "Yes, chairman." Butler Zheng bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
"Actually, I did lose something a few days ago. My villa has been repaired for decades. Ten years ago, I dug a basement under the villa and built a wine cellar for wine. In addition to collecting these old antiques, I am also a little interested in red wine, and my family also likes it. A few years ago, I hid a safe in this unremarkable place in the wine cellar and put some things in it. A few days ago I Dashou, I didn’t invite any other people, so I joined these people at home to join in the fun. I had a few more glasses of wine in the evening, and the next day I suddenly remembered going to the wine cellar and looking at the things I had hidden. Who knew I would go in? Only to find out that the safe was pryed and the contents were missing." Old man Zhang frowned slightly, his face looked a little gloomy.
"Dong Zhang is suspicious, someone in the villa stole it." Chu Shian listened carefully, and when he saw that Old Man Zhang had stopped, he asked back. "Thieves are the hardest to guard against, and house thieves are the hardest to guard against. I don’t doubt the servants, driver’s bodyguards below. Because a few years ago, the following people secretly took wine in the wine cellar, so I installed an anti-theft door in the wine cellar. , You need fingerprints to open. Apart from me, my wife, me, a few children, a nephew, and a housekeeper, Lao Zheng, who has been with me for decades. So, those who steal things are just Among these people. This is a family matter. It’s not easy to report to the police. Outsiders will only be a joke if they find out. So I asked Yanger to find me a private investigator and check with me, who the thief is? By the way Help me find all those things."
"I took the case. Dong Zhang, don't worry, my assistant and I will help you find things back as soon as possible." After listening to Mr. Zhang's narration, Chu Shian groaned for a while, and the corners of his lips curled up with a confident smile. . "Why not? Ms. Chu and Ms. An are investigating the case and live in my villa, saving you the trouble of running around every day." Old man Zhang saw that Chu Shian agreed with confidence and laughed with enthusiasm. The invitation of Chu Shian and An Shi to stay here.
Although Chu Shian didn't like the feeling of being under the fence, for the convenience of investigating the case, he didn't shirk it. After discussing a few words with An Shijin, he agreed. Li Yang'er was also invited by the old man to stay for dinner. Several people talked about other things, and the atmosphere was harmonious. The old man looked serious and old-fashioned, but he was also an approachable old man after chatting.
