The Whispering Verses Chapter 119: Beas’ commission

Xia De calmed down a little and focused on the things in front of him:

"Yes, there are records of these things in Uncle Sparrow's diary, the firm's account books, and his investigation schedule."

"Please come out with it all. This matter has nothing to do with you from now on. This is very dangerous, do you understand, detective? We don't want what happened to Mrs. Lawrence to happen again."

On the one hand, the church probably wanted to get all the information related to Mrs. Lasoya, and on the other hand, it wanted to protect ordinary Shade, so it did this.

So I got the documents about the investigation commission and spent half an hour checking it with Miss Bayas.

The young girl is very bad at handling paper work. She is a little fussy when recording and organizing documents, and she even almost made little Mia bite a small hole in the page of the detective's diary.

But she likes cats very much, so in the end, Miss Bayas took care of little Mia. Shade helped her sort the documents, marked the pages with numbers, and then put them into the detective agency's file bag. Give it to her:

"When you go back, just look for the file according to the number. If there is something wrong, you can come to me at any time."

"Detective, you are such a good person."

The girl with long brown hair smiled and sighed, putting the document bag and her handbag together, but made no intention of getting up from the sofa.

"Is there anything else?"

Because he is worried about ruining Miss Anat's "clever" plan, Shade does not want to be too involved with Miss Bayas at the moment.

The girl with long brown hair smiled:

"The things I just said are the work that I need to complete, but outside of work, I still have some things I want to know. Since this is a detective agency, I think you can also accept my commission."

"Entrust?"

Xia De was a little surprised, but as a normal detective, he did not refuse immediately:

"Yes, but I need to understand the specific situation first."

Even if the other party is the chosen one, if it is a normal commission, he can certainly accept it. Before Miss Anat successfully established contact with Miss Bayas, he only regarded her as an ordinary girl.

So Miss Bayas took out a black and white photo from her handbag, and it was Mr. Lawrence.

"Mr. Lawrence disappeared, and the teacher... Lidwich Field arranged for other people to investigate the matter, but nothing was gained. For me personally, I am actually not satisfied with the simple work now. , so I want to investigate again in a private capacity as a supplement to Blackstone Security Company's investigation of this matter. But since I have already been to Ridwich Stadium once, for that kind of club with a background, I will pretend to be a police officer. The identity of the police officer will not be easy to use, so I want to entrust you to investigate with me pretending to be a wine merchant."

It is impossible to believe a young woman pretending to be a wine merchant. The reason why Shade was entrusted instead of other detectives was because this kind of thing was not suitable for involving unrelated people.

"That's right. If it's just an investigation, I think it's fine."

Shad said, on the one hand, it was because this was a normal commission, and on the other hand, he always wanted to do something about Mrs. Lawrence's death. Of course, accidents may occur in this kind of investigation, but nothing in this world is without accidents.

"Where is the destination? Are you leaving now?"

He has made his decision.

"Let's go now. The place where Mr. Lawrence was last seen is the Lucky Southern Cross Club. Professor, I mean, although the investigation of Ridwich Field is very complete, I think I still have some unique skills. ”

Miss Bayas’s actions must have been carried out without the knowledge of the church, but Shade didn’t care whether the girl wanted to make some contribution or was just out of curiosity. He just whispered in a low voice:

"Why is it the Lucky Southern Cross again?"

Then he changed his words:

"As an ordinary citizen, it is my honor to be able to cooperate with a young and promising detective like you."

"I will pay for this commission, Detective Hamilton. I know that your detective agency is always taking on small matters such as extramarital affairs investigations. After cooperating with me this time, if the cooperation is good, I can be your partner in the future. Your source of information at the Metropolitan Police Department."

Miss Bayas seemed to have thought about this passage a long time ago. Shade looked at her in surprise, not expecting that his progress was faster than that of Miss Anat.

So he stood up and asked:

"There shouldn't be any danger in this investigation, right?"

Miss Bayas also stood up and said confidently:

"As long as I am here, you will not be in danger, I will protect you."

Shad didn’t believe there was any danger, especially when he was acting with Miss Bayas, but this time he really wanted to go:

"Okay, then Miss Bayas, do you have a gun?"

"No, the official police officers do not carry guns, but I have learned women's fighting skills."

She also knew that this statement was a bit ridiculous, and she seemed to want to tell the young and ignorant detective for a moment about the power she had, but the sorceress who came from the Zhengshen Church was not so careless.

"No, I'm not asking that. I'm saying, since you don't have a gun, can I bring one?"

[Gun of Kindness] Although you cannot shoot at will, the significance of the gun itself is deterrence, especially when facing ordinary people.

"Do you have a gun? Of course you can bring it."

Miss Bayas was glad that he did not dwell on the issue of "women's fighting skills."

"I don't have a gun license."

Xia De told the truth.

"What does that matter? If you are caught with a gun, just say it is my gun."

She waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

The Kingdoms of Delarion and Kassenrik have a nominal ban on guns, but they are not strict. However, if you are caught with a gun in some sensitive situations, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

But as a private detective, it is not incomprehensible to have a gun in your hand, so Bayas doesn't care about Shade's illegal gun possession.

"Okay, let's go."

This time Shade completely covered up everything that was wrong with him.

The Lucky Southern Cross Club is quite far from Saint Teresa Square, so the two of them took a carriage to go there. Of course, this cost is borne by the employer.

As a large factory owner, Mr. Lawrence visited the club for regular business. He would not enter through the back door and gamble at cards, so the two people who went to the club this time did not need to enter like Shade did last time.

In the hazy fog, after they got off the carriage, they walked directly to the main entrance of the club. They looked at the vertical triangular woodblock print sign placed at the door that said 20% off drinks in the club today. The people in the club were very creative and connected a branch line to the steam pipe from the wall to the sign, so that the sign itself can spray white steam mist.

But apart from making people take a detour, it doesn't seem to attract too many customers.
