fog city detective

Chapter 8 Passengers
Liang Xi went downstairs and walked out of the main residence, and spoke to the security guard at the door.The security kindly reminded that it was very late, Liang Xi could stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning.Liang Xi declined the kind reminder. After watching Liang Xi's car leave, the security guard immediately contacted the housekeeper.He had reason to suspect that the reason why Liang Xi left in the early morning was a bad one.

The housekeeper was a little surprised to hear that Liang Xi left, but he told the security guard not to make a fuss, and asked the security guard to record Liang Xi's name on the VIP list.What does this mean?The next time Liang arrives at Davis Manor, he can enter the manor without making an appointment with anyone as long as he shows his identity.And will be personally received by the butler.At the same time, his residence was upgraded from Building B to Building A.

The purpose of the housekeeper is only one: if Liang Xi still has the opportunity to come to the Earl's Manor, don't neglect Liang Xi because of Liang Xi's dress, age, status, and class.

Liang Xi didn't think about it so much. After leaving the count's gate, he began to calculate the amount of fuel and could he drive back to London?Are you going to add five pounds of gas on the road?

No kidding, Liang Xi has been living a poor life since he became John's assistant.There is no problem with tuition, rent, water and electricity grids, and even John covers the cost of studying abroad for three long vacations every year.In addition, Liang Xi's monthly food expenses, daily expenses and pocket money are only [-] pounds.With Liang Xi's skill, it couldn't be easier to steal something.But over the years, Liang Xi has never stolen other people's valuable property.

Therefore, Liang Xi, who has just graduated from university, is still thinking about the main question: should I add five pounds of oil?
It was dark at night, and a car was rarely seen on the road.Liang Xi reflected in his mind about the process of being calculated by John today, and he found that Mary's expression was still flawed.As for John's acting too real, I can't see any flaws.But why did John let himself make this trip?After all, it was the will of the earl, and John knew that he did not like to associate with nobles.

Liang Xi thought that John's behavior in recent months was quite abnormal.Almost never went to the detective agency to say that the frequency of contacts with an old friend suddenly increased significantly.Based on one-sided information, John seems to be handling a case, and it is unclear what case he is handling.But Liang Xi knew that the detective profession was like a second life for John, and he must have trouble staying at home for a long time.

Missing this, a black-haired woman suddenly appeared not far in front of the car.Under the light of the car, her face was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, her left arm was torn, and her right hand was raised to face the car and block it.

Damn it, Fake!Liang Xi immediately stepped on the brakes, and a rule appeared in his mind: Don't mess with the steering wheel while driving at high speed.But people are in front of the car, and the incident happens suddenly, how can it be possible to completely control the instinct?Liang Xi hit him in the direction and turned back immediately. The car slid around the woman for a few meters before stopping.That is to say, the Beetle has a low center of gravity, and it will be shown to you in minutes when you change to an SUV.

Liang Xi drove out of the car and got out of the car. In the dark, a woman wearing a black tights suddenly appeared and put her hand on the back door of the car, startling Liang Xi.The woman's left arm was bleeding, and she grabbed the doorknob: "Open the door."

Liang Xi reached out and opened the car door at the driver's door. The woman pulled the door to get in the car, sat in the back seat and closed the door. She lowered her head and gasped for a while. After Liang Xi got into the car, she said, "Drive."

Liang Xi fastened his seat belt and asked, "Miss, do you need to call the police?"

Woman: "Drive."

Liang Xi: "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

The woman raised her voice and said, "Just drive."

Liang Xi wondered: "Where are you going?" I decided to add five pounds of oil.

After the woman took a deep breath, she eased her emotions: "Excuse me, can you drive?"

Liang Xi could only drive, picked up the co-pilot's mobile phone and handed it to the back: "Miss, do you need a phone?"

The woman covered the bleeding opening on her left arm with a cloth, closed her eyes and rested on the lying position: "No need."

Liang Xi said, "Do you need a first aid kit?"

Woman: "No need."

Liang Xi drove for a while, then asked, "Are you sure you don't want to call the police?"

MD!The woman grabbed the driver's seat, paused for a long time, and tried to be gentle: "No, I don't need anything, just drive, and I'll tell you if you want to get off. I want to take a break, okay?"

Liang Xi: "Okay."

After a few minutes of silence, the woman took off the cloth that pressed the wound, glanced at the wound, and pressed the cloth on the wound again.Liang Xi could see clearly from the inside rearview mirror: a suspected gunshot wound.The woman had defensive injuries on her left and right hands.In short, she punched someone, and it was unclear whether she won or lost.She was hit by a bullet in her left arm.Overall it looks like a loser.

Liang Xi knew that there was a gas station in front of him. He felt that people should not be too stingy, and he should add five pounds of gas.Toss John's car at the gas station, find a safe corner to catch a cat, and then use the phone to call the police.

Then Liang Xi heard the sound of the firearm. The woman took out the magazine of the pistol and glanced at it, then pushed the magazine back.Holding the gun in the left hand, it fell down, and the right hand continued to press the wound on the left arm.The woman glanced at the rear-view mirror and saw that Liang Xi was looking at her, her eyes immediately widened.Seeing that Liang Xi was discovered, he immediately turned his eyes to look ahead.At the same time, Liang Xi slowly increased the speed of the car from 80 to 110.

At this speed, if a woman attacks herself, it is very likely that the woman will die and she will be alive.Because of my seat belt.With the opponent holding a gun, Liang Xi gave up and entered the gas station.He is going to London. As long as he enters the urban area of ​​London, his survival rate will be greatly improved.

The woman suddenly spoke, not knowing who she was talking to. Liang Xi didn't see the bluetooth headset, nor did she see the woman holding the mobile phone. He only heard the woman repeat a few auxiliary words: "Well! Good! Well!"

Fifteen kilometers from London, the fuel gauge was a little overwhelmed.Liang Xi can now be sure that he will not be able to reach downtown London.The woman didn't seem to notice the oil gauge, maybe she felt too quiet and asked, "What's your name?"

Liang Xi replied, "Wang Peng." Damn, you don't want to think about whose car you are riding, and your tone of voice is so bad.

Women interrogators usually ask: "Why did you go to London in the early hours of the morning?"

Liang Xi looked sad: "I received a call from my mother, my father just died in his sleep."

The woman didn't speak for a while, and looked at Liang Xi, who was driving attentively in the rearview mirror: "Do you work in Reading?"

Liang Xi: "Yes."

The woman asked, "What job?"

Liang Xi replied, "Gardener."

The woman asked, "What gardener?"

Liang Xi replied, "Davis Manor."

The woman was a little surprised: "Earl Manor?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Yes."

The woman asked, "Is Earl Davis okay?"

Liang Xi replied, "He died the day before yesterday."

The woman nodded, she knew the news of Earl Davis' death, and she felt that what Liang Xi said should be the truth.The woman said, "You have never seen me, understand?"

Liang Xi: "Understood."

The woman said, "I'm near Dick's Golf Club."

Liang Xi: "I'm afraid this is a little difficult."

The woman asked, "Why?" The volume didn't increase, but the tone was like a fist ready to go.

Liang Xi replied, "Because it's out of gas."
