"But as far as I know, no, everyone should be very clear. Jason is Miss Elizabeth's brother, so he doesn't meet the hard conditions of not having relatives at all, right?"

Xiao Han put the newspaper in his hand casually on the coffee table and looked at everyone present seriously.

Elizabeth nodded, not denying Xiao Han's doubts.

"Yes, Jason does not match it, because he has my sister, but he lied. He wanted to get this job too much. After all, my brother is very enthusiastic about art. He is actually looking for all the jobs about art. He finally found this opportunity in the newspaper. He will definitely try his best to fight for it."

Good guy, I'm fucking good guy.

It turns out that this guy named Jason doesn’t want a sister for art?

Xiao Han completely couldn't figure out the brain circuit of this guy. For the sake of what he liked, he didn't even recognize his sister?

"So, Jason finally got the job. Has he ever come back?"

"No, but within a few days after he left the house, he sent me a telegram."

Faced with Chen Xuan's questions, Elizabeth looked at the original text of the telegram from the table while showing a difficult look. I guess Elizabeth and Xiao Han were thinking the same thing, not having a sister for art. Such a thing cannot be done without a cerebral thrombosis for ten years, and it will not be possible to lose one day.

Chen Xuan took the blank piece of paper and started reading quickly.

[Mary, I got that job! Although I can't tell you about the work in detail! But this job is really great! I love it so much!]

The signature is not what they think of as "Jason", but "J.M" written concisely in English letters.

"Have you not written the location and time? It's hard to deal with this now." Xiao Han sighed. This case was originally a missing case that he had never wanted to contact, but he didn't expect it to eventually turn into a dead case. What should I do now? He only felt that his head was in chaos and didn't know how to solve it.

It’s hard to cut it, it’s still messy, probably his current state.

Fortunately, Xiang Lan has experienced too many cases, so it is easy to find clues from the case.

"Actually it's not that bad. We still have two clues, that is, Gerald and the interviewer on the recruitment notice. If I remember correctly, Gerald lives at No. 17 Hutt Mansion on West Hampster Street. Although my good friend's family is missing, there should be a lot of clues in his family."

"So that's the case. Then this interviewer named Alan Jones should know something. His address is clearly written in the newspaper." Through Xiang Lan's explanation, Xiao Han instantly came to his senses from the chaotic state just now, "Which one should we look for first?"

Chen Xuan and Xiao Han looked at each other, not knowing what to arrange next, they placed their hopes on this old senior.

But what the two of them did not expect was that Xiang Lan proposed a different approach from the two of them.

"Let's act separately. I want to meet this Mr. Alan Jones under the name of applying for a job, so you two will go to Gerald's house to take a look."

"No, are you not Mr. Gerald's friend?" Xiao Han realized something was wrong. "If you go to visit, it is obviously a little more suitable than us, isn't you?"

"Although that's the case, looking for clues from the room is a specialty for detectives. I am just a businessman who likes to deal with people. I still want to communicate with living people more than dealing with dead objects." Xiang Lan smiled slightly.

merchant?

Isn't this guy the same as himself, a detective?

Just when Xiao Han wanted to ask questions, Chen Xuan used his eyes to collided with his limbs to stop him.

"I understand, then I decided like this. Xiao Han and I will go to Gerald's apartment first."

"Thank you, two detectives." Elizabeth picked up the small bag he had placed casually on the sofa and took out a stack of exaggerated thickness of paper money. "This is one hundred pounds, and this is the prepaid for both of you. If my brother Jason is found, I will pay you a thousand pounds as the final reward."

One hundred pounds?!

Xiao Han subconsciously looked around the decoration of the room again, and a strong sense of last century style came to his face.

In the last century, one hundred pounds, which should be more than 50,000 yuan in the current RMB. If he remembers correctly, in Sherlock Holmes, a tutor earns only 40 pounds a year, which is a huge amount of money!

What else can I say?

Xiao Han and Chen Xuan looked at each other, and in desperation they could only sigh that it was great to have money.

After receiving the huge sum of money, Xiao Han suddenly felt that his bags had replenished. He glanced at the stack of banknotes in his hand and said it was one hundred pounds, but in fact it was one hundred pounds of one pound. I said no wonder this thing is so thick. Why didn’t you give them two fifty pounds of banknotes directly, and you still had to give them one by one.

It's really weird.

As for why it was fifty pounds, not one hundred pounds, it was because in the early last century, Britain did not have a hundred pound banknote.

"Actually, if it's not enough, I can add more money, as long as Jason can come back safely."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Chen Xuan smiled confidently, and he looked up at the ancient clocks on the wall. It was almost noon.

"Ahem, Miss Elizabeth, if nothing else, Detective Xiao and I will investigate first. Please let me say goodbye."

"Ah, okay, don't you stay for lunch?" Elizabeth showed regret on her face. When she talked about lunch, her hands made a thrilling move.

The three of them looked at each other, their faces changed, and they all stood up to say goodbye.

"No, thank you very much for your kindness, but we have eaten on the way here, so I won't bother you."

If you let such guys who can't even make black tea cook, you might be able to make some weird dark dishes, and maybe they will lose their SAN value.

Before leaving, Elizabeth found several photos from her bedroom and sent them to the three of them. There was a name written in the lower right corner of the photo. Yes, it was Jason, Elizabeth's brother, the protagonist of this missing case.

The three of them came to the carriage together, Xiang Lan glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile.

"So, two, I'll take a step first. After visiting Allen Jones, I'll go back to Mary's house and wait for two. I hope you can bring me some good news."

As he said that, Xiang Lan waved his hand and got on the carriage.
