MTL - He Became a Salted Fish After Inheriting Millions of Secret Arts-Chapter 14 necklace

"I want to buy one myself," he said, "to give away."

Z's brows frowned even tighter, obviously still not dispelling his doubts.

Mrs. Lynn smiled knowingly, "Could it be for that Miss Ruth Roberts? Is it the daughter of your patient, Mr. Roberts?"

Although she misunderstood too much, Duan Feizhuo just went downhill, "I don't know anything about jewelry at all, and I'm afraid of being deceived. I would be very grateful if you could introduce me to a reliable store. That Willow Madame must have bought it at a well-known jewelry store?"

"This is Mrs. Willow's own necklace. Her family owns a tailor shop." Mrs. Lynn lowered her voice secretly, as if she was going to say something disgraceful next, but her tone was full of excitement, "Last year Her husband was sick with ether, and she spent the last penny of the family and borrowed everywhere to treat him. Of course I can't say that being sick is a good thing, but if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have got this necklace. !"

It seemed that Mrs. Lynn knew nothing about the true power of the necklace, but Mrs. Willow was very suspicious.

Duan Feizhuo asked, "Can you tell me the address of Mrs. Wei Liu's shop? I think, if she is in financial difficulties, she may be willing to sell some jewelry, so that I can get a bargain."

"This child is young, but he is very economical. He knows how to save money." Mrs. Lynn teased.

She wrote Mrs. Willow's address on a purple sticky note that smelled of perfume, and handed it to Duan Feizhuo gracefully.

"Look at you," Mr. Lynn scolded his wife again, "Knowing that people don't have a lot of money, you still urge them to ask for money!"

"Isn't it natural to pay back the debt?" Mrs. Lynn was not happy. "Besides, I am quite generous and agreed to her repaying the debt in kind. I'm afraid I would not be happy to change it to someone else!"

Seeing that the husband and wife were about to quarrel, the daughter Luisa hurried out to smooth things over, "Mom, the nuns at school taught us to forgive people's debts, just like people forgive our debts. But Dad, Mom used If you bought the necklace at such a cheap price, you obviously made a profit, so don't talk about her!"

They each hit 50 big boards and gave them a sweet date. Neither side would offend. Duan Feizhu couldn't help admiring Luisa's ingenious way of resolving the conflict between her parents.

"That's about the same..." Mrs. Lynn glanced at her daughter gratefully, "I also want to save up for Louisa's dowry."

Luisa smiled and said, "Then you should give me that necklace!"

"Just give it to you, you girl!" Mrs. Lynn scolded.

She took off the pearl necklace and put it around Louisa's neck.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Luisa asked the two guests happily.

Z can't see anything, so naturally he can't judge whether the jewelry is good or bad. Duan Feizhuo could see it, but to be honest, he felt that the style of the necklace was more suitable for a middle-aged woman like Mrs. Lynn, and it would look too old-fashioned for a little girl like Louisa.

Of course, as a guest, of course he had to do his best to flatter his host when they were looking for compliments, so he could only praise the necklace for Louisa, and compliment Mrs. Lynn's outstanding eyesight.

Louisa blushed from his compliments. In order to hide her shyness, she got up and said, "I'm going to serve everyone dessert!"

After speaking, he ran into the kitchen in a hurry.

The dinner was already so scary, Duan Feizhuo naturally didn't dare to look forward to dessert. He only hoped that Mrs. Lynn underestimated their appetite and didn't prepare too many desserts, otherwise...

There was a crackling sound from the kitchen, as if many dishes had been knocked over.

"Louisa, what's the matter?" Mrs. Lynn frowned, "Did you break the plate? Why were you so careless?"

Then, the maid of Lin En's family screamed, "Miss! What's wrong with you, miss!"

Everyone in the restaurant looked at each other, and then rushed to the kitchen immediately.

Duan Feizhuo was sitting closest to the kitchen, so he was the first to arrive.

The kitchen was in a mess, with broken china and pudding all over the floor. Luisa fell on the ground, clutching her neck with both hands, her body trembling, and seemed to be in great pain.

The maid of Lin En's family stood at a loss, her face pale.

The Lynns and Z crowded into the kitchen too. Seeing his daughter's strange behavior, Mr. Lynn quickly asked, "What happened?"

The maid trembled, "I don't know, the miss suddenly became like this..."

Duan Feizhuo half-kneeled beside Luisa. The girl's face turned blue, and she opened her mouth wide, as if she wanted to breathe, but she couldn't take a breath. She looked at Duan Feizhuo in despair, with tears in her eyes, hoping that he could save her.

Since there is pudding here, it is very likely that the trachea was blocked while eating pudding.

"Maybe he choked on the food." Duan Feizhuo said.

Mrs. Lynn rushed forward, trying to slap Louisa on the back to make her spit out the food. But Duan Feizhuo stopped her. At this time, slapping the back will only be counterproductive.

He had learned the Heimlich first aid method, and immediately encircled Louisa's body from behind and squeezed Louisa's abdomen.

Luisa vomited, but nothing came out.

Is it the wrong way? Duan Feizhuo had some self-doubt, he had never failed using the Heimlich method before!

Could it be that the trachea is blocked?

His eyes shifted to the pearl necklace Louisa was wearing.

In his vision, the necklace shimmered ominously.

Is it because of the necklace? This necklace... trying to strangle Louisa?

Duan Feizhuo didn't have time to think about the reason. Luisa was about to suffocate, and the golden rescue time was only a few minutes!

He tried to untie the necklace, but the clasp of the necklace couldn't be undone. The little lock seemed to be locked tightly, no matter how hard he pressed and pulled, he would not let it go.

"Give me a knife!" Duan Feizhuo shouted, "I want to cut off this necklace!"

Z walked over. He pushed the Lynns and the maid away, took off the gloves, and a blade popped out of the brass-colored metal prosthesis.

There was a flash of silver light, the necklace broke with a "pop", and dozens of pearls scattered all over the ground, as if a rain of pearls fell from the sky.

Luisa breathed a sigh of relief and finally recovered.

Mrs. Lynn wailed, rushed to her daughter, and hugged her in her arms, "My poor child! Are you all right!"

Luisa took several deep breaths, as if she had never tasted such a sweet and fragrant air.

"It's okay, mother..." She showed a weak smile, "I just couldn't breathe suddenly, it seems that something strangled my neck..."

"This necklace?" Mrs. Lynn looked at the pearls all over the floor.

But how can a necklace strangle the owner's neck? Everyone present had questions at the same time.

Only Duan Feizhuo knew a possible correct answer—the necklace contained offensive secrets.

But he dared not speak out because Z was present. If he just said that he saw the necklace as a occult item, it would definitely reveal his identity.

Fortunately, after the necklace was broken, the light on the pearl disappeared, indicating that the secret technique attached to it was a one-time use, and it would automatically become invalid after use.

"I think Miss Lynn is choking." Duan Feizhuo smiled at the Lynn couple, "Her neck is congested and swollen, that's why she feels that the necklace is strangling her neck. It's like the rings we wear every day. , bracelets and so on, they feel very suitable when you first wear them, but after a while, you will feel that they seem to be small. In fact, it is not that the rings and bracelets have become smaller, but that our body is swollen. Therefore, when we treat patients, we must Remove the patient's jewelry first, lest these jewelry hinder blood circulation-if it is too serious, it may even cause limb necrosis!"

"Something makes sense..." As a woman who often wears jewelry, Mrs. Lynn has often experienced this, so it is easy to accept this statement.

Besides, Duan Feizhuo has the qualifications of a doctor (although he does not have a license). Even the doctor said so, can there be a lie?

Mrs. Lynn ordered the maid to clean up the kitchen, and accompanied Louisa, who was still in shock, upstairs to rest. Mr. Lynn looked anxiously at the messy kitchen. When he thought that his daughter almost died just now, he felt lingering fear.

"Fortunately, you are here!" He hugged Duan Feizhuo's shoulders gratefully, "I really don't know how to thank you! You saved Luisa's life!"

Duan Feizhuo was absent-minded, "It was Detective Sinia who cut off the necklace, I didn't do anything."

He was so preoccupied with the necklace that he paid no heed to Mr. Lynn's thanks.

He didn't even notice that Z quietly picked up a pearl and stuffed it into his pocket.

Mr. Lynn interpreted his absent-mindedness as modesty. "You really are never proud like your uncle. When I first heard that you practiced medicine without a license in Aberdeen, I doubted your level and thought you were joking." He showed a guilty expression, "Now I But there is no place to be ashamed!"

He turned to Z, "Of course I also want to thank Mr. Detective! If it weren't for you, my little girl would have died!"

Z smiled, "It's Mr. Chester's timely judgment, and I didn't do much. He is very respected in Aberdeen. I remember that his patients thought I was going to arrest him, and they all pleaded for him, even Still trying to bribe us."

Mr. Lynn was amazed. This was the first time he had heard of bribery.

He really wanted to find out the details, but now is really not a good time.

"Well, gentlemen, I wanted to stay with you for a while, but you have also seen that this kind of thing happened at home..." Mr. Lynn looked at the two guests embarrassedly.

Hearing the master's eviction order, Z said politely, "It's okay, Ling Qianjin's body is more important. We will take our leave today."

"Shall I give you a ride? Especially Leo, who just arrived in London and is unfamiliar with the place..."

Duan Feizhuo wanted to say no need, his house is very close, but Z stepped forward and said, "I will send him off."

Eventually Mr. Lynn sent them to the intersection. When parting, he said in a secretive tone, "Although I respect my wife very much, I have to say that her cooking skills are terrible. How can you keep your face after eating that kind of thing? If you want to vomit, over there There is a proper sewer."

He knew the sewers around his house like the back of his hand and must have used them many times.

"I don't think it's that bad, right?" Duan Feizhuo turned to Z, asking for his opinion.

"I can't taste it." There was a hint of sadness in Z's tone.

Duan Feizhuo looked at him in shock, waiting for him to explain why he lost his sense of taste.

But Z just said "Farewell", then quickened his pace and walked into the night. He could no longer see Z's face.

Duan Feizhuo also hastily bid farewell to Mr. Lin En and caught up with Z.

We're almost at number 49 Place Franchise. Z stopped suddenly. Duan Feizhuo looked back at him strangely. "What's wrong?"

"Can you do me a favor?" Z asked.

"Of course, as long as I can help." Duan Feizhuo said lightly.

Z's empty eyes looked at the endless night, with a solemn expression, "Help me find the owner of the trading house."
