The official main business of the Lucky Southern Cross Club is the collection and tasting of wine, and there will be an illegal Rhodes casino at night. According to Miss Bayas, the Orthodox Church and Ridwich Field conducted a joint search yesterday afternoon, but no clues were found.
Due to the club's connection with the great aristocrats, a comprehensive search is the limit. And as a newcomer to the police department, she thinks that she has some special investigative abilities and may be able to get clues.
Shad speculated that Miss Bayas might have some thaumaturgy related to detection, which reminded him of his own spell "Echo of Blood", which he had used in the club last time.
He knew the true identity of Miss Bayas, but he didn't understand why the other party took the initiative to investigate. The young girl doesn't look like someone who is greedy for credit, so she can only temporarily think that she has other connections with [Blood of Mercury].
Miss Bayas is a newcomer to the "Police Department", and no one here knows her identity, so the two can go straight into the club. They pretended to be young businessmen who came to buy famous wine to entertain distinguished guests. So after being warmly received, they were led by the maids of the club to the reception room on the second floor to wait.
"Detective, you are responsible for holding down the club man and negotiating business with him. I will use an excuse to go to the bathroom and conduct investigative activities. This is all your task, and I think it should be fine."
Before the manager on duty of the club came with the wine album, Miss Bayas explained to Xia De that Xia De had very few opinions on this simple plan:
"It's not a problem to hold him back. Since you are the employer, of course everything is up to you. But I don't know how to drink, so it's inevitable that there will be some flaws."
"It's okay, you just need to find an excuse to hold him back."
Miss Bayas shook her handbag:
"I pay you to hire you, and you naturally have to play your value. The longer the time, the more I will pay. Hold him for at least 20 minutes, and don't make him suspicious of me leaving the room."
"I'm not even sure I can do it."
"It's okay, even if your identity is leaked, you won't be sent to jail."
Miss Bayas patted Shad on the shoulder, and she looked confident.
The decoration taste of the reception room is quite good, all the furniture is dark brown pure wood products, half of the floor in the room is covered with red carpet, Xia De suspects that it is wool.
Soon someone pushed the door and came in. It was a man in a black formal suit with a serious face holding a red booklet...
"It's you?"
The man who entered the door recognized Xia De immediately, and Xia De also recognized the other party immediately. The other party was impressively the night he came here to pick up Franklin Jr., and found Mr. Nit who had sneaked into the detective.
Such a reunion was beyond Xia De's expectation, and the other party knew that his identity was not a rich businessman who bought drinks.
But fortunately, Xia De was ready when he agreed to Miss Bayas' commission. He originally agreed to pretend to be a businessman because he didn't want to confuse the two things together, but now that the truth has been revealed, he doesn't care about those little things.
At this moment, his mind became active like never before, his face changed from relaxed to serious, Xia De lowered his voice and spoke first:
"It's really not easy to see you."
"Um?"
Mr. Nit and Miss Bea raised questions at the same time, and the latter realized that they knew each other.
"Detective, what are you doing here again?" Xiru miaobifang.com Xiru
Mr. Nit asked, looking at the outfits of the two people in the room:
"I'm not here to pick you up this time, right? The casino is closed during the day."
He said, took out his notebook, and drew out three Rhodes cards:
"The last time I heard that the lady was also collecting Rhodes cards, I happened to have some good ones in my hand. I have already written to tell me that I will come this evening... Oh, the time seems to be a little early, it doesn't matter, if that The lady is not here, I can wait a little bit."
"That lady" told Xia De not to say that she was looking for him in the letter, so Xia De made up a reason casually. As for the lady who came to look for him, why did he pretend to be a merchant who bought wine? Shade didn't mention this, but Mr. Nit didn't care, because as soon as "that lady" was mentioned, Mr. Nit suddenly became nervous:
"You want to see the lady? No problem, I'll go upstairs and ask the honorable lady if she would like you to see you now."
"Huh?" Si minus bxW*x.co Si
Now it was Xia De's turn to be surprised, he didn't know that the other party was actually there now. The two agreed to meet in two hours.
"But it doesn't seem to matter. She wanted to see me. I can use this excuse later."
My heart gradually settled down, and I squinted at Miss Bayas who was confused by the conversation just now:
"This is my female partner. I think 'that lady' doesn't want to meet strangers. Please find a room for her to rest and don't disturb her."
Deliberately reached out and patted the shoulder of the brown-haired girl, showing their intimacy.
Mr. Neat doesn't doubt either:
"Of course, since she is your female companion, she is naturally a VIP of the club."
Then he found the maid in the corridor, arranged another reception room for the two of them, and ordered that no one should disturb the guests after the tea and snacks were delivered~www.mtlnovel.com~.
Mr. Nit went to the third floor to ask the maid about the situation while the maids were preparing refreshments. He was not qualified to see the lady, and he was not even qualified to knock on the door.
Soon, Mr. Neat brought Shade an answer that he could go upstairs, without giving Miss Bayas and the detective any chance to have a private conversation.
Before the two parted, Xia De pretended to stand up and straighten the folds of his clothes, and quietly winked at the young female sorceress of the Orthodox Church, telling him to be careful.
But Miss Bayas obviously got it wrong, because she actually gave Shad a thumbs up quietly, which is also meant as a compliment in this world.
"After the matter is over, I will definitely ask for a large reward."
With this in mind, he went to the third floor under the guidance of the familiar fat maid.
It is still the room with the entire wall of bookshelves, and it is still talking to the lady in the room through the door. Only this time Xia De was allowed to sit down in the study, and the maid prepared tea and snacks for him.
The indoor temperature is normal, and there are no strange things on the coffee table. Compared with this meeting, everything will be normal.
"You did a good job at Lakeview Manor."
After the fat maid closed the door from the outside, "that lady" said these words, Mi He Mi
Since the other party helped the five members of the group escape from suspicion, it was impossible for them not to know that they were on the third floor. However, Xia De is not sure whether the other party knows that "the masked man under the silver moon" is him.
"Speaking of which, the agreed time is to meet in the evening, and I have other things to show up here. Then you showed up earlier, is this a coincidence?"
The woman asked, judging from the normal indoor temperature, she should be in a pretty good mood today.
