Chapter 372: Noble Style
"Hmm!... I almost forgot. There is one more thing I want to tell you. Do you still remember the rebellious man I mentioned to you last time?"
"He's the one who planned the 'Beast Devil Rampage'. Remember."
"In the operation to capture Flora, she and the deputy director were fighting at the end... If she comes looking for you, you'd better contact the deputy director and let him kill her. That guy is very dangerous!"
"Got it. You should be careful too."
"Hahaha! Got it. Wait for me! I'll be able to fly to your place in about a week, and then I'll give you a surprise!"
"Hehe," Su Ming laughed unconsciously, "Then I'll give you a surprise too."
"real?!"
From Xia Xiaoyu's voice, Su Ming felt that the other party was already surprised.
"real."
"Then I'll look forward to it!"
After the call ended, Su Ming placed his phone on the glass coffee table next to him, squinted his eyes and looked at the lush green garden below. He inexplicably felt a sense of leisure in his heart. Although he was in a bad situation now and was a super-dangerous fugitive wanted by the Seven Gods Alliance, he was away from the tense working atmosphere of the Investigation Bureau and on this remote island, he actually found peace and tranquility in his heart.
However, this peace will not last long. I guess someone will come knocking on our door soon.
"Master, someone is looking for you."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Yes... He is from the royal city." The white-haired old butler was obviously a little scared . "He said you are a fugitive!"
What is coming will eventually come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. In this case, I will meet them... as a traditional aristocrat.
Su Ming stood up from the chair with the red wine in his hand, turned around and looked at the old butler behind him. The bright sunlight shone into the dim room from behind Su Ming. Su Ming's outline was glowing, but his face was shrouded in gray shadows. He shook the glowing goblet in his hand and snorted coldly: "Interesting, please ask him to come up."
…
Zhou Xiaoxiao was wearing a neat suit and sitting upright on a valuable sofa with a serious expression.
Zhou Xiaoxiao does not live in the royal city. He lives in the civilian area, but his status is much nobler than those civilians because he works for the nobles in the royal city. He is in charge of public security, mainly investigating the intelligence needed by the security team and interviewing those who may know the intelligence.
And now, he is about to visit a wealthy man who may be a murderer.
When Zhou Xiaoxiao was led in by the old butler, he observed all the scenery along the way. He had done his homework before the visit. This manor was the property of the newly-crowned noble Count Lobera, and the price tag was 1 billion, which was considered a bargain.
But even if it was sold at a low price, not everyone could afford it, and the nobles who could afford it generally did not like this kind of house close to the civilian area. If there was anyone who would really buy this huge and luxurious manor, the only people who could be thought of were wealthy outsiders who wanted to settle here.
Zhou Xiaoxiao is in a complicated mood now, and her mind never stops thinking.
He had seen the photo of the rich man, and he looked almost exactly like the people in the videos on the free intelligence platform. If he had only looked at the photo and the video, Zhou Xiaoxiao would have immediately concluded that the person in the photo was the same person in the video.
However, the other party's purchase of this large manor made Zhou Xiaoxiao begin to doubt her own judgment.
The buyer's name is Xia Ming. He was born into a supernatural noble family with a long history. For many years, his family has supported marriage between close relatives and maintained the principle of secrecy. Apart from knowing about their industries, the outside world knows very little about the people in their family.
A major characteristic of their family is that they have no fixed residence. Their family business is related to trade, and they are keen to incorporate completely unfamiliar goods into their own business areas, so many family members will purchase fixed properties on various islands. If he is really a member of the Xia family, it is reasonable for him to purchase real estate in the Molten Iron City.
But...are there really people in the world who look so similar?
Zhou Xiaoxiao wants to personally confirm the truth. He is the most observant person among his peers, and his analytical ability has been praised by his superiors many times. This time, he wants to use his unique talents to judge whether this mysterious rich man is a genuine aristocrat or a fugitive murderer!
"What do you want from me, sir?"
Su Ming walked down the stairs holding a wine glass, wearing luxurious home clothes and smiling.
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly stood up from the sofa, took out the business card hidden in the lining of his suit and handed it to the other party: "I am the investigator in the royal city. I am visiting you this time to ask some important questions and clear up some misunderstandings. I hope you can cooperate."
Su Ming took the business card, glanced at it casually, and handed it to the old butler next to him. He sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs.
Although this posture is not elegant, Su Ming's every move is very natural and smooth, with a unique unrestrained attitude, so Zhou Xiaoxiao can also regard this action as the elegance of an aristocrat. After all, not all aristocrats are like the royal family in the Iron City.
"Of course! Please take a seat!" Su Ming made a gesture of invitation towards the sofa, turned his head and said to the old butler beside him, "Bring the wine, I want to have a drink with this investigator."
"No thanks! I don't drink!"
"No, you're welcome! Elton, bring me the wine upstairs and open a new bottle." Su Ming said to the butler, then he looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao again, looking at him gently.
“Really not!”
"Well, do you mind if I have a couple of drinks while you're asking questions?"
"Please feel free to do as you please."
Su Ming nodded and asked with a smile: "What do you want to ask me? Is it about the person who looks like me?"
"It seems that you already know it. In this case, it will be much easier for us to talk about it. Let me make it clear in advance that I am not doubting you." Zhou Xiaoxiao emphasized.
Su Ming nodded slightly: "I understand, I completely understand. When I heard about this, I even went to watch the video. Even I found it unbelievable. That person looks so much like me! It's like they were carved from the same mold. Ah, some things in the world are so wonderful."
Su Ming shook his head and drank, as if he was lamenting the wonders of the world.
"What is Mr. Zhou's ability?"
"Sorry, no comment."
"It's okay, it's normal. After all, you are an investigator. You maintain public order and protect the people, so you must be envied by many people. If your special abilities are made public, you will surely encounter many dangers . It is natural to keep it confidential." Su Ming said with a smile.
As they were talking, the old butler Elton had already brought the wine. Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at the bottle. It was "82-year-old Lafite", produced in the 156th year of the new calendar. It was a very precious commodity among the fine wines produced on Dionysus Island. It was very expensive and the quantity was quite limited. This guy just opened a new bottle casually. He must be really rich.
