On the way, James told Mr. Thomas in detail the purpose of going to the countryside today.

"The main purpose of going to the country today is to find out what happened the day before Mr. Evans was assassinated. I guess the locals there will know something."

"But it's easy for us two foreigners to be identified." Mr. Thomas was very worried. Since he came to Birmingham, he had already noticed that someone was watching them, especially James. No matter where James went, there would be two groups of people. watch.Mr. Thomas didn't say it out. After all, it was just his own feeling and there was no evidence. It would be bad if James was frightened.If Mr. Thomas knew that James had noticed it long ago, he would not think so, but thought that James was a lunatic, knowing that there was a problem and still risking himself like this.

"It's okay, we're not doing bad things." James said indifferently.

Thomas stopped talking, it was all going on quietly and you said it didn't matter, so what mattered.And what they did was indeed not a bad thing, but if they acted in the current state, even if it was not a bad thing in the eyes of others, it would not be a good thing either.

In fact, James is also annoyed by the people who have been watching him all the time. What do he want to get from himself?James, whose head was hurting from thinking about it, finally let it go, if you don't come out, right, then I will force you to come out.

The day finally dawned, the red sun rose, and James, who couldn’t tell the difference between east and west, north and south, liked morning and evening best, because this way he could clearly know east and west, although James often felt that after changing a place, the east and west The direction has also shifted by 180 degrees, but it is an unchanging truth that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so James doesn't bother with what he doesn't understand.

"Are you almost there?" James looked at the red sky outside, and the mountains under the sky were shrouded in a ray of light. It's really a good time to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, but James will always only be moved by these things without taking any action. , so no matter how beautiful it is, James is just fantasizing about it, lazy people will never put it into action.

"It's almost here." Mr. Thomas looked at the signposts on the roadside, and said, "It will take about 5 minutes."

The 5 minutes that Mr. Thomas said is the time of the carriage.

"Then stop here, let's get out of the car and walk." James thought it would be a bit ostentatious to go directly in a carriage, and it's not sure how to guess the two of them when they are seen by the locals.

What James didn't know was that their carriage had been discovered by the locals a long time ago, and the good news had already spread, so now many people are discussing loudly or secretly guessing that the carriage is sitting on the master. Still young master.This is something that James never thought of. Mr. Thomas knew it, but he didn't explain it. He thought James just wanted to get out of the car and take a look at the scenery of the country, even though Mr. Thomas heard it when he was in London. It was said that James also lived in a small rural place in Longbourne. He didn’t believe it at the beginning, but now Thomas still thinks that Longbourn is a relatively developed place, so he guessed that James would be here. Interested.

"Okay, Mr. Bennet." After Mr. Thomas finished speaking, he parked the carriage in an open space on one side and asked James to get off.After knowing that James got out of the car, he realized that he had made a bad decision. Who will take care of the carriage?So James still didn't realize his original intention, and the carriage also moved forward with them.On the contrary, the locals were surprised when they saw this situation. Is there another person in the carriage?It never occurred to them that a gentleman would travel without a carriage.

James decided to forget it. After walking for a while, he returned to the carriage. Anyway, he knew everything he needed to know, and it was okay to swagger.Originally, James only came here with Mr. Tuo, it seemed that if something happened, more people would not know about it, and they would not be implicated.

After getting in the carriage, we soon arrived at the place where the raw materials were produced. The place that used to be very lively is now quiet, because James announced the temporary suspension of production, so the raw materials are not needed for the time being.

Smoke billowed from the house next to the production site, and it seemed that someone was still guarding it. Thomas went up to them and waited for a while for someone to open the door.

"Hello, what's the matter?" A lame 50-year-old man came out, looking at James and James warily.

"Are you Mr. Evans' coachman? This is Mr. Bennett, who just came from Birmingham." Mr. Thomas briefly introduced.

I thought the man would be wary and hesitant, but to his surprise, the man's eyes flashed with joy when he saw James behind him, and he welcomed them in.It turned out that the coachman met James when he followed Mr. Evans to London, and now he encountered difficulties, and James and the others arrived just in time.

"Hello, Mr. Bennett, I am Mr. Evans' driver. When Mr. Evans came here last time, my leg hurt again, so Mr. Evans left me here to take care of the raw materials." The driver said With a calm look, this really doesn't look like the temperament of a coachman.

Comparing it with Mr. Thomas, James asked, "You used to be a soldier, didn't you?"

Hearing this, the driver said proudly, "Yes, I also participated in the counter-insurgency war."

James nodded, no wonder.When Mr. Thomas heard that the coachman had been a soldier and went to the battlefield, he suddenly felt that he had found someone of the same kind. He also wanted to know about that war. It was very intense at that time. People who have never been a soldier will not understand it. It is meaningful, not to mention that James with a Chinese soul will not be interested in these histories.

"Did you know? Mr. Evans was assassinated two days after he returned from here." James said to the coachman that he didn't know about it yet.

"Assassination? Is Mr. Evans okay?" After finishing speaking, he still stared at James closely. When he just heard that Mr. Evans was assassinated, guilt flashed across the driver's face quickly, but he quickly disappeared. I went, looking worried.He was worried, but guilty?Why feel guilty?Although the guilt disappeared quickly, it just happened to be seen from James' perspective.It seemed that the coachman was hiding something, but he didn't want to tell them.

"Mr. Evans is just resting now, but the doctor said that it is best to transfer it out. This is the best way for Mr. Evans' body to repair, but the current situation is too complicated and there is no way to transfer it." James said carefully Looking at the coachman's expression, he was relieved when he heard that it was all right, but for James' temptation, the fact that Mr. Evans could not be transferred out of the coachman did not let go, which means that the things he hid must be very important , definitely more important than Mr. Evans' injury.It seems that we can only find a way slowly, and those who have served as soldiers are the most determined.

Mr. Thomas also saw the signs, exchanged a glance with James and talked about other things.

James wrote to Lewis that he liked this country place very much and planned to stay here for a few days, and asked Lewis to stay in Birmingham to continue collecting information without coming here.

It was Mr. Thomas's job to see what was wrong with the coachman's behaviour.

And James, who was free, pretended to like it very much, went out to chat with the locals every day, and even bought land here, which caused the locals to keep asking James if he wanted to stay here and settle down.This is also the reason why James is approachable, so so many people ask him.

The locals also held a big dance to welcome James. Before they knew that James was married, many people regarded James as a good son-in-law. The first half of the dance that day was a pain for James. No one would be comfortable being calculated by □. Later, a relatively simple person asked him what kind of wife James liked best before he realized it.Knowing that James is married and his children are several years old, most of the people stopped. Of course, a small number of people hope that James can take them out of here.James had to hide in a quiet corner.

"Mr. Bennet, hello."

Seeing that the person who came was a local gentleman, James, who was tense, relaxed again.

"Hello, Mr. Cruise."

"The villagers here are very warm and simple." Mr. Cruise said happily to James.

"Yes, indeed."

You came and I chatted for a while, and Mr. Cruise couldn't help it. James is very popular now, and it is estimated that someone will find here in a while.

"I heard that the company has stopped production now? Will it continue in the future?" Cruise is a little anxious. He is the one who supplies the most raw materials, but now the news from the lobby is that something happened in Birmingham, and the raw materials can't be used as before. acquired.

"Yes, something happened in Birmingham, I came here to relax." James said casually.

Mr. Cruise despises James fiercely in his heart, relax?Who is this lying to?

"Oh is it? Actually, it would not be a good opportunity to relax here if it came earlier, but now is quite suitable, and the time you picked is really accurate."

James looked straight at Mr. Cruise, and then said, "Oh, really? It seems like a coincidence. What happened a while ago? Mr. Cruise shouldn't mind satisfying his curiosity for the guests from far away. of."

After finishing speaking, the two of them walked towards the shadow side in tacit agreement, where it was difficult to be found.

On the way back, James kept thinking about Mr. Cruise's words, and James knew that the problem was indeed Mr. Evans' driver. According to Mr. Cruise, he saw the driver outside that night as if he was Holding a wounded person.James also wanted to ask why he still went out at night, and then he realized that night is a good time for a sneaky date. Seeing Mr. Cruise's expression, his guess should be similar.

"Sir, are you back? He went out again, what a wonderful person! I have been observing for so many days, and tonight I finally know where he went?"

James, who just came back, was eager to hear the good news, and tonight he also confirmed that the matter had a lot to do with the coachman.

"Come on, take me now."

The two came to the path leading to the back garden from the entrance of the coachman's room. James sighed: "So there is such a secret place."

I didn't expect that there was another door in the coachman's room.

"Here we are," said Mr. Thomas to James, stopping.

James nodded, and after thinking about it, he deliberately made a little noise to make sure that the people inside could hear it, and then fell silent. After waiting for half an hour, a sound came.

"come in."

This voice is obviously not the voice of the coachman, it is a very young voice, which is absolutely
