In the evening, Klein, who had just returned from Church of Saint Samuel, was about to enter the second floor restaurant, and he saw the butler Walter greeted him, respectfully salute:
"Sir, what you are investigating has been clarified."
Klein did not ask in the presence of the surrounding maids and maids, and nodded calmly:
"Go to the study."
Walter followed him and came all the way to third floor. looks at Richardson opened the door of the study and lit the gas wall lamp inside.
Klein walked slowly behind the desk, sat down, looked at Mr. Butler and waited for him to speak.
Walter gestured Richardson to guard outside the door while leaning closer to the desk, pondering the language.
When the door closed again, he said:
"Ms. Vannah ’s husband is a fabric merchant. Before working with others, she invested 1,000 pounds, but the other party ran away with the goods. She had asked the Macht MPs and Mrs. Liana. This kind of thing, the police department ca n’t guarantee that it will find the target. "
Klein picked up the black round-belly pen on the desk and rubbed the next way:
"For Ms. Vannah's family, 1,000 pounds is not a small amount."
As far as he knows, a normal tutor ’s annual income will not exceed 150 pounds, and even less if the employer provides accommodation and food.
Although Vannah serves an upper class society, there are multiple employers, but the annual income is at most 4-5 100 pounds, and a large part of it has to be spent on its own dress, posture, and appearance, so as not to be considered inappropriate by the employer No etiquette.
"Yes, her husband's income can only be regarded as medium among cloth merchants. For him, £ 1,000 is a considerable investment." Walter said euphemistically.
For me too ... Klein sighed and smiled:
"I just came to Beckland and I am not familiar with the police department."
Walter immediately responded:
"Sir, when I was serving Viscount Conrad, I knew several members of the Beckland Senior Police Officers Association."
Beckland Senior Police Officers Association? These are all upper-level figures of Sivallas Yard, and the total Superintendent of Police responsible for a district security is not eligible to enter.
—— Sivallas Yard refers to Beckland Police Department, named after the street where it is located.
It ’s a steward from the noble family ... Klein sighed and shook his head with a smile:
"No need for the time being. In this regard, Ms. Vannah has too many people who can ask for help. No matter whether Macht MP or anyone else has enough ability to make Sivallas Yard value this case."
He was paused a bit, so he pretended to say inadvertently:
"I have seen the bottom level of this society and know their rules of survival. Sometimes, the police may not have gang members or bounty hunters.
"Walter, you go to the police department to get the corresponding information, go to the Beckland bridge district domain and the famous bar in eastern district, and issue a reward mission.
"Whether it is to find the corresponding criminal or to retrieve the batch of fabrics, I will give 200 pounds of bounty.
"Oh, I only hope that the scammers stay at Beckland."
"200 pounds bounty?" Walter repeated the number and couldn't help but glance at his employer. It seemed he couldn't believe he was willing to pay so much for Vannah.
He opened his mouth and seemed to want to remind him, but in the end he did n’t say it, but he responded seriously:
"Okay, sir."
"I will give you the money directly." Klein got up slowly and took out the wallet.
Walter thought about it while receiving thick cash:
"Do you want to tell Ms. Vannah?"
Klein smiled:
"No need."
Walter suddenly nodded and saluted:
"Your generosity and enthusiasm will spread in this neighborhood."
…………
eastern district, Dharavi Street, a crowded but lively tavern.
After carefully combing the short blond hair before going out, Quinn squeezed through the area full of wine and smell and came to the bar.
She knocked down the board with her fingers and pointed to bartender:
"What is the new commission today?"
If it ’s someone else, just ask if you do n’t order wine, bartender will definitely not take it, but after seeing the opposite Quinn, an bounty hunter who everyone would rather not drink, he can only sigh:
"There is a very rich commission for bounty, 200 pounds."
"200 pounds?" Quinn almost suspected that she had misheard. Except that she had received bounty missions of this level or higher at Miss Audrey, she had never encountered such a large amount of money in the eastern district and Beckland bridge district domains. Even the Ards Eiges mission that had made bounty hunters crazy here was only 150 pounds.
For an ordinary bounty hunter, as long as he can complete this commission, it means that there is no need to work for another year!
For Quinn, this is equally important, because she has been working with mysterious people wearing gold masks for the past few months, and initially knows that the other party belongs to MI9, and the accumulated merits can be exchanged for Interrogator magical medicine formula.
Therefore, she paid very little for helping each other, and most of them turned into merit. Her own savings were all gained through her advantages in finding and pursuing prisoners after becoming a "Officer".
When I get magical medicine formula, I have to spend money to buy extraordinary materials, and now I only have more than 300 pounds ... Forsi is right, money is not a panacea, but it is important enough ... Thinking of this, Quinn looks at bartender, ask carefully:
"What task? Who did the commission?"
"Find a few scammers who cheated fabric worth 1,000 pounds." bartender took out the information and handed it to Quinn, while saying, "commissioner looks like a housekeeper, calling himself Walter, Dawn Dantes of Berklund Street Mr. Service, if you can catch a scammer or retrieve the fabric, you can go there and get bounty. "
Quinn quickly turned over the looks at data, and the corresponding image was quickly generated in his mind, and he intuitively had the direction of the search.
"I take this task." She looked up immediately.
bartender shrugged and said:
"Not only you, all the bounty hunters who have come here have taken this task.
"And they have other ideas."
"What idea?" Quinn asked curiously.
bartender hey:
"They said that Mr. Dawn Dantes is so generous, if he still lacks bodyguards, they can recommend themselves.
"However, they later gave up this idea, because when the bodyguard did not do bounty hunter freedom, even drinking had to wait until rest day."
This is not a problem for me, but I can only be a bounty hunter ... Quinn nodded, jumped off the stool in front of the bar, and walked to the door without wasting time.
…………
The next day, Klein finished his lunch and prepared to go for a walk in his garden to digest.
At this time, the housekeeper Walter came in from outside and followed him quietly, waiting until there were no more people around.
"Sir, two things." He said congratulations.
"Two things?" Klein was a little surprised, he thought there would be only one.
Walter nodded:
"Yes, the first thing is about 10% of the Beckland bicycle company. Someone has already paid out 10.000.
"Sir, will you continue to bid?"
I lifted up 1,000 pounds? not bad! Klein thought hardly and thought:
"I just came to Beckland, many things must be restrained.
"Just like this, like this ..."
"Okay, sir." Walter said instead, "The scammer who tricked Vannah's husband's cloth has been caught, and the bounty hunter has come to the neighborhood and requested payment."
"So fast?" Klein stunned and looked to Mr. Butler.
If he personally take action, it can indeed be solved on the same day. After all, "staff divination" is used to find people, but the problem is that the vast majority of bounty hunters are not Divinator.
Well, maybe Extraordinary who is good at tracking and tracing ... Klein made a preliminary judgment in his heart.
Walter replied affirmatively:
"Yes, much faster than I expected.
"According to the bounty hunter, she found the scammers by tracing back from the sales channel of stolen goods."
The channels for selling stolen goods are so easy to explain? It seems to have received the education of Tekken ... Klein lightly nodded and said:
"What is the name of the bounty hunter? Very capable ..."
"She calls herself Quinn." Walter answered truthfully.
No ... Klein almost stumbled, but fortunately he has the super balance ability of Clown.
He seemed to meditate calmly on the waves in his heart, he said with consideration:
"Leave the contact information of the bounty hunter, maybe there will be a chance to ask her for help later."
"Okay, sir." Walter doesn't think there is anything wrong with Dawn Dantes's command. A qualified high society person always has some unofficial path channels.
Klein did not continue to talk about Quinn, un'ed and said:
"How much do you get back?"
"The cash on the scammer plus the fabrics that have not been sold have a total of 850 pounds." Walter seems to have expected the employer to ask about this matter and has been evaluated in advance.
"Very good." Klein nodded said, "After paying the bounty hunter, she helped her send the scammers and stolen goods to the nearest police station."
…………
northern district police station.
The senior inspector opposite Vannah and her husband Bacchus looks at asked in surprise in unison:
"Recovered?"
"Catch someone?"
The senior inspector smiled and replied:
"Yes."
He talked about how much cash and how much fabric he had left, and heard that Vannah and Bacchus were both relaxed.
150 pounds of money, they can still afford, and the remaining fabric has room for appreciation and profit, overall, the loss is not large.
They thanked the police officer again and again until someone came to ask Bacchus to identify the stolen goods and criminals.
Vannah sat there, without losing his manners, and smiled to the senior inspector in front:
"Your efficiency is beyond my imagination, I am curious, how did you find those scammers?"
Knowing that the beautiful and elegant lady opposite knew lower parliament politician, sooner or later he could find out the truth. The senior inspector answered without concealment:
"Actually, it was done by an bounty hunter. She started from the sales channel and quickly caught the person."
"You guys still offer a reward?" Vannah seems to understand the whole story.
The senior inspector shook his head and said:
"We haven't had time, it's a reward from others, £ 200."
"200 pounds?" Vannah asked in surprise.
This is not a small sum, it even exceeds her husband's estimated profit from this business.
Seeing a positive answer from the police officer, Vannah could n’t help but ask:
"Who posted the reward?"
"The bounty hunter didn't say, but she was accompanied by a housekeeper's gentleman." The senior inspector briefly described the appearance of Walter.
Vannah vaguely guessed who it is, leaning back slightly, unconsciously whispering:
"200 pounds ..."
…………
In the afternoon, Mr. Macht's family, Vannah who came to teach the etiquette of the daughter of the other party, first thanked Mrs. Liana for their help.
Liana with dark green hair humbly said a few words and turned to ask:
"Vannah, I heard that you are still the etiquette teacher of Mr. Dawn Dantes. I do n’t know what kind of person he is?"
Vannah considered for a bit and said:
"A true gentleman, enthusiastic, generous, kind, educated, personable, and knows a lot."
Liana nodded slightly, turned to look at the proud girl next to him, and chuckled slightly:
"Unfortunately, he is too old, otherwise he will be a good blind date.
"Well, I plan to invite him to this weekend's ball."
