Mind Reader III

Today is Princess Grace's birthday party, and the manor is particularly busy.The servants are nervously preparing for the formal banquet in the evening. Since noon, some guests have come over one after another, and people gathered can be seen all over the manor.In addition to the important officials of the royal family and country B, some business celebrities who have business dealings with the princess's father also gathered here. Since ancient times, the political and business families have been close, and it is not likely that a few of these people came for the princess. Shen Yan saw everything in his eyes.

The lunch was eaten in the Butterfly Garden with the guests temporarily staying here, and Shen Yan did not disclose his identity, only saying that he was a friend of Prince Chris.As soon as they heard that he was a friend of Prince Chris, the prince of the royal family, the others no longer bothered to inquire about him, and Shen Yan felt relieved.

He and Gu Lei walked around the manor, and Chris called him to the Lily Garden to introduce him to Princess Grace.Shen Yan asked Gu Lei to secretly search for Prince Will and his son, while he himself brought gifts to the Lily Garden.

Although Princess Grace is only 13 years old, Westerners develop earlier than Easterners, and she looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.Today she is the protagonist, she got up early in the morning to prepare for this and that, and now she is resting in the small flowerbed of the Lily Garden, and there is no one around.Seeing Chris coming, the princess' eyes lit up, and she was about to say something, but there was someone behind Chris, so she immediately settled down and continued to maintain an elegant posture.

Shen Yan smiled, at such a young age, he would have to spend all day with his accent, so he wasn't tired.

"Grace, this is my best friend Shen Yan."

I also added "the best", it seems that I can't do well if I don't perform well.But Chris didn't introduce his job, just looked at him a little embarrassedly, Shen Yan understood, this kind of lying is really impossible for Chris, so he said to Grace, "It's an honor to meet your beautiful princess Your Highness, I teach at a university in country C, and this year I came to Chris's school for advanced studies, and he mentioned his beautiful cousin in front of me every chance he got, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation."

Perhaps she listened too much to flattery, but Grace didn't show much, she just smiled and nodded like a lady, "Nice to meet you, this is the first time Chris brought friends here, I hope you can have a good time. "

Shen Yan handed the gift box to the maid beside the princess. The maid was about to take the box away, but Grace stopped her unexpectedly.The gift Shen Yan prepared was a carved red lacquer box, which was not wrapped with ribbons, which was much more eye-catching compared to other gifts.Grace took the box and asked Shen Yan, "Can I open it now?"

"Of course, open it and have a look, I hope Her Royal Highness likes it."

There was a small antique key hanging on the box. After Grace used the key to open the box, she exclaimed with radiant eyes, and then picked up the gift in the box to look at it.What Shen Yan prepared was a Miao silver brushed bracelet. It was not expensive, but the workmanship was very delicate, which is rare in country B.

"It's so beautiful!" After seeing this bracelet, Grace's royal ladylike look retreated a lot. "I've only seen such a beautiful thing in a museum!"

Seeing that Grace liked it so much, Chris couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "Let me put it on for you."

Grace stretched out her hand happily, with a blush on her face, and said to Shen Yan, "Thank you so much, this is the best gift I have ever received!"

Shen Yan was quite surprised, this gift was prepared by Xu Ling, because he was going to the birthday party, he must bring something, so he called and asked Xu Ling to buy any gift suitable for a little girl and send it to him.It seems that Xu Ling spent a lot of time thinking about Princess Grace's preferences for this gift. Should it be said that he loves his job and is dedicated to his work?

Although the princess was brought up from a young age, she was still a child in her teens. This gift that unexpectedly suited the princess's liking instantly won Shen Yan's favor with the princess, and the three of them had a pleasant afternoon tea in the flower garden .After Grace was called away by her father, Shen Yan and Chris wandered around the manor, and unknowingly came to a pool.

"This is the pool where I threw the collar button," Chris took two deep breaths, and then took the initiative to mention it to Shen Yan, "I was standing on that balcony and threw the collar button into the pool. You said, the collar button Is it still in there?"

Last night, Shen Yan made many conjectures. The prime suspect, Prince Charlie, stole the music box from Norton Manor, but the last clue pointed to Chris, and the first thing Chris stole belonged to Charlie.Although there are no rumors of Chris kleptomaniac in the outside world, if their agents can find out, other interested people can also find out.

The Norton Manor incident was by no means a coincidence. Somebody switched the monitoring circuit for this small music box, which proved that this was a long-planned case, so it was no coincidence that Charlie stole the music box.So is it a coincidence that the clue was pointed to Chris?There are so many lounges on the second floor, why did Chris choose that one?During the hypnotherapy before, Shen Yan only asked about the general process, and Chris said that he didn't want to listen to those people bragging each other in the lobby, so he went to the lounge for a while.In the video, it can be seen that Chris walked straight to the lounge alone. In an unfamiliar environment, without the guidance of the manor servants, how would Chris react?No, according to Chris' personality, he should choose a small room that is not very conspicuous on both sides of the corridor, instead of going directly to the largest lounge at the end of the corridor.Chris never went by himself, but someone suggested that he go.

"Shen?"

Seeing Shen Yan staring at the pool without making a sound, Chris became nervous.

Shen Yan came back to his senses and said, "I was thinking, the water in this pool should have been changed, right?"

Chris was taken aback, yes, why didn't he think of this?

"This pool is not big, and it looks quite shallow. Although some aquatic plants are planted, these plants are all annuals. New plants need to be planted every year, and the water must be changed to clean the pool. Chris, I think If you were cleaning out the pool, it would be easy to find that collar button."

Chris's face was pale, and his hands began to shake.Shen Yan held his hand and said to him, "Chris, I think someone already knows your secret."

"Someone knows...but...but even if you find that collar button in the pool, it can't prove that it's me..."

"That's right, I checked just now. There are no cameras installed in this building or nearby, so no direct evidence will be left. If someone knows, it can only be a direct witness, but we can't tell which link it was. There is It could be when you pick up the collar button, it could be when you go in and out of Charlie's lounge, or it could be when you throw the collar button on the balcony. But it's been a while since anyone mentioned it, so I think even if there were sightings Or, it should not be true that you stole the collar button. However, if the collar button is found in the pool, and this incident is connected with the testimony of the eyewitness a year ago, it may be found that you did it. of."

"But... no one mentioned it..."

According to this deduction, we can probably know why Chris was splashed with dirty water.If Chris was witnessed a year ago when he was holding the collar button, or when he was throwing the collar button on the balcony, the witnesses should not have thought much about what he was doing, let alone about the collar button. Li took the initiative to say that he gave it to his girlfriend the next day, and the matter should stop here.But when the pool was being cleaned, the collar button was found in the pool. The servants of the manor did not dare to hide such a valuable item, and would definitely report it, so that Charlie's lie about giving away the collar button would be exposed.After the incident was exposed, if the witnesses happened to recall the details about Chris a year ago, it would not be difficult to speculate that Chris took Charlie's collar button and threw it away.

The key is how many people know about this matter?If more people knew about it, it would be impossible to remain silent until now. At least Chris would have been called in for questioning, and Charlie's lying about giving away the collar buckle would also have been exposed.Now there is no news at all, which means that there are quite few people who know the truth, or they have been suppressed.

Shen Yan suddenly saw a gardener pruning branches beside the bushes at the other end of the pond, he asked Chris to wait for him at the spot, and then ran to make friends with the gardener.It is rare for a gardener to have a guest who is so enthusiastic about gardening, so he quickly chatted with Shen Yan, and Shen Yan brought the topic to the aquatic plants in the pond, and the gardener let it go, "Yes, we have to replant it every year , the plants are different. This year, in order to catch up with the princess’s birthday party, we washed the pond three months ago to catch up with the flowering period and replanted the lotus, and it’s just in bloom now.”

"Did you start preparing three months ago?" Shen Yan asked with a smile, "Princess Grace's father really worked hard, and he put his heart into his daughter's birthday party so early."

"That's not true," said the gardener. "This banquet is given to Prince Charles. Although this manor is usually the property of Mr. Currie (the nominal owner of the manor, a wealthy businessman), Mr. Currie is from Purchased by Prince Will, Prince Will's family is close to Mr. Curry, and they usually come here to live for a few days when they are on vacation, and they are familiar with this place, so the little princess's banquet will be handed over to Prince Charlie."

That's the way it is, it's the right number.

A year ago when Chris threw the collar button into the pool, he was witnessed (the witness was probably a servant of the manor), but the witness did not know what Chris was doing at the time. The buckle was lost, but since he publicly admitted that he had given the collar buckle to his girlfriend, no one doubted it, and the matter should have ended here.

But three months ago, when Charlie started preparing for the little princess's birthday party, people at the estate cleaned the pool and found the collar button in the process.The servant did not dare to hide it privately. It should have been handed over to the housekeeper or Charlie himself. In this way, Charlie would suspect why the collar button was in the pool, but he did not dare to say anything. He would definitely ask the servants of the manor privately. .It so happened that someone recalled the details of witnessing Chris holding a collar button or throwing something on the balcony a year ago, and after telling Charlie, the truth was almost revealed.

What would Charlie do?Find Chris and beat him up?It might be possible if it was Prince Herman who was acting weird, but Charlie probably wouldn't choose a method that would damage his image.Just tell someone Chris stole?Don't be silly, he is also a member of the royal family, and Prince Will will be the first to expose this family scandal to the outside world.Entrust others to say?That would inevitably teach Prince Will a lesson. Who made him admit that he gave it to his girlfriend? Even if he found it in the pool, others would think it was thrown by his girlfriend.

After suffering such a big dumb loss, anyone with a bit of a temper would want to get revenge.How to revenge?It is not difficult to imagine the truth of the theft of the music box in Norton Manor two months ago.

But Charlie probably didn't expect that the matter of Norton Manor has not been exposed until now.According to the information Shen Yan and the others got, the music box was inlaid with many precious stones, and it was considered to be of great value. It might be the reason why Prince Charlie chose this music box.The owner of the manor lost an expensive music box and will definitely investigate. With that surveillance video, dirty water will naturally be poured on Chris.

The owner of the manor did investigate and suspected Chris, but the private detectives couldn't find any evidence. From the owner's point of view, the matter should be over, and it wouldn't be a problem with the royal family over a music box.Who would have thought that this music box should be more than expensive, the matter involved the dark sword, and the task was assigned to Shen Yan.However, neither Charlie nor the owner of the manor should know this. From the obvious point of view, this matter should have turned the page.

What would Charlie think?I finally designed the plan, and even found someone to adjust the monitoring, but Chris was fine.Will Charlie give up if the well-designed revenge fails?Shouldn't it?But usually they don't live together, it might not be so easy to fix Chris.

The first collar button incident occurred at Currie Park during a party, and the second music box incident occurred at Norton Park during a party.Since it can be seen that the only time Charlie and Chris can get together is this kind of family gathering, and Princess Grace's birthday party happens to be the latest opportunity, Charlie will definitely do it in the next few days and give Chris another Splash dirty water!

But these are all Shen Yan's inferences, and we can't further prove it until Song Qi and the others find the person who did the surveillance.Now Shen Yan has two things to do, get the whereabouts of the music box from Charlie, and protect Chris from being framed by the way.

Chris does have kleptomaniac, but he does not steal things with malice, but some symptoms of psychological oppression.Firstly, Chris didn't steal the music box at all, and secondly, Chris' kleptomania has been basically cured, if something happens to Chris at this time, Shen Yan's treatment during this period will be in vain.Although it can't be said that he has a deep friendship with Chris, Shen Yan will never allow this kind of thing to ruin his reputation as a great psychiatrist.
