Tale of the Seventh World 36

The matter ended here. Everything that happened after entering the house was just the statement recorded by Henry's private driver to the local police station. Afterwards, the private driver mysteriously disappeared. Andrei had already disappeared before the police arrived. Ralph later

I investigated Andre's son, but the same man disappeared, as if he had disappeared from the world.

The death and disappearance of the director and deputy director of St. Vis Orphanage became another big news in the small town after the deputy director sold orphans. After Henry's death, because there were no children to inherit, the only remaining properties and

The small amount of money was sold off by the local government department and handed over to the St. Vis Orphanage.

The police only investigated the case of Henry's shooting for a few days. The suspected murderer was Andre, who had disappeared. After two weeks of fruitless searches, the case was closed due to lack of clues, and the case files were then thrown into the archives.

It ate dust. Similarly, regarding the disappearance of deputy dean Andre, the police took the same approach and hastily closed the case.

For those orphans trafficked by Andre, after the local police investigated the orphanage, they directly stated that they had no relevant information, and the investigation progress could not be carried out and was postponed indefinitely.

Ralph's team worked very hard to investigate this commissioned case, but they didn't know who was secretly obstructing it. The whole case was like a helpless person trapped in a swamp. No matter what methods they used, they could not investigate the missing orphans.

News about Andrei and his son.

Back then, Dean Charles asked Ralph to secretly search for the same missing orphan case in the UK within five years. Ralph spent a lot of time investigating and recording this, and sure enough, things took a slight turn for the better.

However, it is of little help to the overall case.

A similar situation occurred in the same orphanage on the Isle of Wight on the north coast of the English Channel. However, the orphans were not illegally bought and sold, but stolen. The local police investigated for a month, but found nothing. In the end, they could only

Put the case on the shelf.

The investigation was not very smooth. Ralph and the others discovered that all the missing children came from orphanages. The most important thing is that these orphans came from orphanages in small cities. The local police force was not very sufficient. All of this was in the form of words.

They were listed out and stored in a file bag on Dean Charles' desk. Of course, there were still a small number of black and white photos attached to the files to support the relevant information.

Henry had a father-like status in O'Hara's heart, and when he was preparing to serve as the translator at Charles Dean's College, he sneaked out of the college that night and disappeared mysteriously after receiving the news like a bolt from the blue.

.

A week later at lunch time, Dean Charles received news from the college that O'Hara had been found in St. Vis. This did not attract official attention. The most important thing was that Ann had been missing for many days.

Andre and his son were found dead by hanging early in the morning, and the execution took place in the center of the small town.

The deaths of Andre and his son were discovered by a janitor early in the morning. On the surface, it seemed to have nothing to do with O'Hara. However, during the autopsy, the police found that O'Hara had been carved on the backs of Andre and his son.

Ra's name.

Due to the emergence of O'Hara's name, the police finally had new clues. During the investigation, it was inevitable to contact the personnel of the Royal Military College. In this way, the college notified Dean Charles of the news, which led to the subsequent secret investigation of Ralph

.

After being silent for a long time, the memories in his mind came over him like waves. Dean Charles picked up the phone receiver on the table and said in a low voice: "Algernon? Are you sure it's a person?"

"Yes, Algernon is the original O'Hara. Even if he changes his hairstyle now, his true identity cannot be changed." Ralph said with an extremely sure tone.

"If it's convenient for you, appear in front of me with all the information you know."

Dean Charles took the microphone and said with his tone returning to normal.

"Okay, Dean Charles, you will get the news you want."

After hanging up, Charles picked up the phone again. After dialing a few times, Charles' familiar voice came from the other side of the phone, "Hello, Mr. Charles! How can I help you?"

?"

The owner of this voice is the owner of a dress shop in London. Unlike ordinary dress shops, they only customize dresses for the upper class and do not accept civilians. Their service and production level are famous throughout Britannia.

Even the high-minded members of the royal family had to admire that the dress seemed to be endowed with a Celtic mystery, which made him famous in the upper class.

Armstrong, the owner of the dress shop, no one knew that his high-end clothing store was invested by Charles Dean. Even those in the upper class only knew that Charles had purchased dresses many times, but they did not know that the largest shareholder of this store was Charles Dean.

long.

On the surface, this high-end clothing store is a famous luxury store in London and even the UK. However, this store, including his branches in various places, secretly detects the latest news from all walks of life for Charles, and feeds it back to Charles' independent intelligence room.

After screening, inform Dean Charles of the most useful information.

While collecting news from the upper class, Armstrong also did not forget to collect all kinds of weird and latest news from the lower class. Armstrong opened a small bar not far across the street from his clothing store. What is different from other bars is that it only

Opening at midnight will not affect your main business and you can make some extra money at the same time.

Of course, the operation of the bar was not as smooth as that of the clothing store. After all, Armstrong did not have any experience. In the end, Dean Charles arranged for two veterans to take over. Since the people who opened the bar at midnight were different, there were naturally many people drinking and causing trouble. Armstrong

Unable to control the situation himself, Dean Charles had to send someone to help him.

"Members of the Shenguang Church are suspected to have appeared in London. They seem to be a big fish. You need to investigate. Even if you find them, it doesn't matter. Just know the approximate scope of their activities."

Dean Charles' indifferent tone came from the other side of the phone.

"That person from the cult organization has appeared in London. This is not good news. I will pay attention to it." After hearing the news, Armstrong's face changed and he asked in a slightly solemn tone: "They came to London to do something."

Are you here to plan some terrorist activities?"

"I haven't received any news about this so far. I hope they, the rats in the sewers, will be honest and not cause any trouble to me," Dean Charles said.

After hearing this, Armstrong hung up the phone without saying anything, and then called again. After the call was connected, a thick voice came out: "Hello, sir! This is a Sri Lankan bar. Do you need anything?

?”

The Sri Lankan Bar was not originally called that, but Midnight Drunk, a very common bar name. At first, Armstrong only planned to open an ordinary bar, and while making money, he collected anecdotes from people chatting in the bar.

There is an old saying that "God does not follow what one wants", which is very suitable for what happened to Armstrong. Within three days of the bar opening, there were two consecutive fights, causing 300 pounds of damage to tables and chairs and 100 pounds of wine.

Classes were affected and smashed, which was a financial loss. During a fight, a middle-aged Irish man was hit in the stomach by glass fragments from a broken wine bottle on the ground, causing blood to flow all over the floor, causing the business to be closed for a day to clean up the mess.

For this reason, Armstrong was so angry that he almost closed the bar. He really couldn't imagine how much money he would lose if the bar continued to open. Looking at those damage reports, his heart was bleeding! Fortunately, Dean Charles cared more about himself.

Investigation revealed that the bar facing the street was secretly sabotaging the bar in order to prevent its own bar from operating.

For this kind of matter, Dean Charles never liked to waste his time, so he asked his butler Scott to solve it. After investigation, the butler found out that this was just a bar that had been open for less than two years, and there were gangs in London behind it.

I'm supporting, but the gangster seems to be fighting for territory with others recently.

The housekeeper was very decisive and found someone to set fire to. The person he found happened to be the gangster's rival's younger brother who did it. The younger brother disappeared after the exposure. Everyone thought he took advantage and ran away.

There are so many bars in the UK, especially in London, that they often conflict with each other. Newly opened bars are often crowded out by old bars on the same street within a few days, but even so, there is still an endless stream of British people opening bars.

Absolutely, the long-standing pub culture has penetrated deeply into British life.

British people often say, "If you haven't been to a bar, you've never been to the UK." For British people, bars are the best place to socialize, a place where information exchange explodes, and just like Chinese restaurants, taverns are a place for gathering information.

The best place.

Dean Charles has no intention of making money from this bar, but more to help Armstrong.

Two generations of their family have owned a dress shop. Armstrong's father was originally the family tailor of Dean Charles's father, and several generations of the family have been full-time tailors of the Roberts family. Later, after Dean Charles's father passed away, the family experienced a period of economic decline.

Due to financial constraints, most of the servants were dismissed. Armstrong's father did not leave. He worked for ten years without taking any money. Later, his health became increasingly poor and he left voluntarily.

The Armstrongs used the money saved by their ancestors to open a clothing store in London. The business was not very good at the beginning. It was not until two years before Armstrong's father died of illness that several French people arrived and customized their clothes, which were praised at the banquet.

After that, business came in a steady stream.

After the fame spread, it didn't take long for him to attract the attention of Dean Charles. However, he did not disturb their lives. Instead, he secretly ordered their dresses and helped them to make their lives better.

But perhaps it is in response to the old Chinese saying "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong." It is precisely because of the prosperity of the clothing store that some people are jealous, and they have harassed and vandalized Armstrong's clothing store many times. For this reason, London

The Police Department came to investigate many times, but in the end the investigation failed due to some unknown factors, and the case remains unresolved.

As for Armstrong, Dean Charles didn't want to disturb their lives, but unexpectedly he was forced to intervene in the end.

Two days after being harassed in the clothing store, a middle-aged man came to the clothing store holding a civilized stick and asked Armstrong to sign an agreement. The general content was that the Armstrong clothing store would voluntarily become a subsidiary of Fraser Company, and Armstrong would

Join in the form of a shareholding.

The middle-aged man was kicked out directly by Armstrong, scolding him as a lunatic, saying that only an idiot would agree to join that damn Fraser company.

That night, the door of Armstrong's clothing store was smashed, and about 200 pounds were lost in the store. The damaged items in the store were worth 400 pounds. This kind of loss made Armstrong heartbroken and almost hospitalized. The Metropolitan Police also responded to this

A case was filed and the suspected Fraser Company was investigated. However, due to lack of evidence, the investigation target could only be shifted.

The case of vandalism at the Armstrong clothing store was just like the previous ones. After the police investigated many times to no avail, the case was slowed down and shelved because other cases had to be dealt with.

Dean Charles was busy with the affairs of the Military Academy and did not know what happened to Armstrong, but that did not mean that no one paid attention to the matter.

Steward Scott is a very careful person who is extremely good in every aspect. This is not only reflected in the management of the manor, but also in the clear memory of the people or things that Dean Charles is concerned about, and in the management of the manor.

Provide reminders when appropriate.

This was the case with Armstrong. Butler Scott had a deep memory of the people who had lived in Roberts Manor, not to mention Armstrong's father, the man who made the clothes he was wearing.

Human memory is like this. For people who have appeared around you or in your life many times, your memory will be extremely profound. Butler Scott not only has unforgettable memories of Armstrong's father, but also Armstrong himself.

Armstrong is naturally lively and active, and can often bring joy to the people around him, bringing a touch of fireworks to the already solemn and impersonal manor. Both the master and the servants in the manor are all very cute and bring joy to the people around him.

It's hard for Armstrong to get bored when he comes to laugh.

Armstrong left a deep impression on everyone in the manor. Even after he left with his father, the old people in the manor would still talk about him often.

When Dean Charles mentioned Armstrong again, Butler Scott's mind seemed to have opened a door to time and space. The scenes from the past seemed to be right in front of him, and he was still the same person who could bring everyone joy. The butler's memories were
