I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 495

"Sorry for the waitting."

Theresa looked slightly apologetic.

"It's ok."

With the Mayfair branch operating behind the scenes, this kind of thing can be easily handled.

More interested in the whereabouts of the papacy followers led by Bishop Fergus than in teaching a lesson to corrupt officials who were scheming and opportunistically corrupt was the fate of them.

"Where did Bishop Fergus and his entourage go this time? What are the follow-up plans?"

"Germany, then Norway, Finland, Sweden..."

After thinking for a moment, Theresa named many countries.

"Although there are many places to visit, they are all within the Europa region. Sue, you're asking these questions because you want to go and take a look?"

"I just want to wait until Fergus has some free time so he can introduce me to the Pope."

"Meet with His Majesty? It's not a good time lately."

Theresa offered this advice upon hearing this.

"Oh? What's the secret? Tell me."

Just as Su Fan was about to ask questions, he heard a discordant noise coming from the courtyard.

"Hands up! Don't move!"

……

"Are we just going to stay here and do nothing?"

Jamie asked, puzzled.

"nonsense."

Alice sat in the parking space and scoffed.

"You've been in love before and are about to get married, how come you can't even sense the subtle atmosphere between them?"

"Going in now would just be like being a third wheel."

She raised her head and carefully felt the somewhat chilly wind.

London's rainy weather is indeed annoying, but the good thing is that I don't have to wear a sun hat every day like I do in California.

It felt like going back to Fox Town.

Jamie hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He could not only see the subtle atmosphere between Theresa and Su Fan, but also immediately notice the obvious emotional connection between Ron and Su Fan. Furthermore, he could intuitively determine that Alice in front of him also had a trust in Su Fan that went beyond a normal relationship.

So, during breakfast just now, apart from the conversation with Su Fan, Jamie felt like he had stumbled into a massive battleground, and was extremely uncomfortable.

These three women all possessed unparalleled beauty and were also powerful superhumans. If they were in human society, only one in ten thousand outstanding individuals could earn their glances.

But now...

Jamie suddenly remembered that there were two other rising superstar actresses in America who had also expressed interest in Su Fan...

In particular, Annie kept contacting him through her agent for a period of time, wanting to know about Su Fan's current situation.

He only gradually stopped traveling after leaving America to begin his travels.

The other actress has recently taken on roles that completely eliminate sexy scenes, having quickly transformed her image within a year.

There are many different opinions about the reasons for its changes, and only a very few people know the inside story, but dare not mention it.

Jamie sighed.

"Let's do something, at least."

"for example?"

"For example, this female corpse."

Jamie tapped the back of the car.

“We can’t just put it inside the villa. Just imagine waking up in the morning to find a corpse—it’s too horrifying.”

"Would Su Fan be scared by this thing?"

"Of course not, but it feels uncomfortable, doesn't it? Besides, people who believe in Taoism are most concerned about bad luck and taboos. You don't want Su Fan to be unhappy and have your wages or benefits docked, do you?" Alice, who originally didn't plan to move, thought of the deep-sea lure that Su Fan had promised her, and her expression became serious. She nodded.

"That makes sense."

Her gaze fell upon the vast expanse of lawn and gardens in the open courtyard, and an idea immediately formed in her mind.

"Then let's just bury her."

what?
Didn't you say before that this thing was important physical evidence?

Before Jamie could react, Alice jumped down, opened the trunk with the car key, carried the female corpse out, and then retrieved a shovel from a nearby warehouse.

Without saying a word, he dug a hole in the neat and tidy lawn of the courtyard, which was so clean you could play golf there, and then planted the female corpse in it like planting rice seedlings.

"Your pit isn't deep enough."

Jamie mentally estimated the depth.

“We need to dig at least another 40 centimeters, otherwise her head will stick out.”

"Can't you?"

Alice looked at the face of the female corpse, who was looking up at the sky.

"That's not quite right. How about this?"

She put down the shovel, lifted the female corpse up and turned it upside down, like planting a scallion upside down, and plunged it back into the deep pit.

"how?"

Jamie looked at the two pale human feet protruding from the ground and wanted to ask a question.

Is this reasonable?

"I think you can dig the hole bigger and deeper."

"No."

Seeing Jamie's bewildered eyes, Alice finally began to explain.

“You just said it yourself, ‘we’ need to do something. How can I do all the work by myself? You can dig a little slower so that Su Fan and Theresa can have more time alone together.”

Just then, the sound of a car came from the gate of the courtyard.

The two turned around and saw that two policemen had gotten out of their car at the entrance of the courtyard.

They didn't turn on their sirens, probably because they were there to follow some leads.

The two men in uniforms soon arrived a short distance in front of them, and pulled out their identification cards from their jacket pockets and flashed them.

"London Police Department. We have received a report that you two were seen carrying an object that appears to be a human corpse into a hotel..."

"No, officer. We are all law-abiding, model citizens."

Alice interrupted to explain before the police officer could finish speaking.

The police officer opposite him was not angry at being interrupted, but patiently explained.

"Recently, there have been frequent unexplained deaths, which has made citizens feel very uneasy."

We hope you can understand our work. Regardless of whether it's true or not, please cooperate and answer a few questions first…

Before the policeman could finish his last syllable, his gaze fell on the deep pit behind Jamie and Alice, and the pale feet protruding from it.

It's a corpse!
His pupils dilated instantly, and he reflexively drew the pistol from his waist.

"Hands up! Don't move!"

The police officer's voice was unusual, amplified several times over.

The same was true of his partner who was on the call with him. He shouted "Hands up!" while raising his gun and quickly reporting the situation into the walkie-talkie on his shoulder.

"Headquarters, please respond. We have a situation here..."

Jamie instinctively raised his hands.

Alice glanced at the guns and was about to scoff at them, thinking they were nothing to be afraid of, when she suddenly realized that she was facing legitimate government law enforcement officers.

He then looked at Jamie and, following his example, raised his hand.

The shovel, which had been supported, fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
