Although Shad was caught off guard by the unexpected visit, fortunately, Mrs. Lawrence is also a reasonable person. After reading the detailed report in its entirety, she felt less disappointed about today's visit:
"Since the investigation is over, why didn't the report be given to me immediately? Is it because of Mr. Sparrow Hamilton's sudden illness?"
The lady asked politely, and put the report in her hand. She was dressed stylishly, with a ruffled neckline that set off her fair neck very well. Although she looks much older than Mrs. La Soya, her temperament is outstanding.
"After I took over the firm, I sorted out the remaining commissions from Uncle Sparrow. The original idea was to add the last follow-up investigation that was incomplete due to Uncle Sparrow's illness at the end of the report, so Followed La Soya again last Saturday..."
Xia De made a look of embarrassment, and then drove away the orange cat who was worried because of this. He sat on the single sofa and said to the client in a worried tone:
"In my investigation, the background of Mrs. La Soya seems to be not simple. The other party seems... to be related to an illegal local social organization."
He looked at the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, showing his anxiety:
"very dangerous."
Immediately, she made an even more embarrassed look, and did not continue talking, so Mrs. Lawrence nodded understandingly.
Xia De didn't know what she understood.
"You thought it would be dangerous to continue the investigation, and submitting the report might expose that unscrupulous woman to your stalking with Sparrow Hamilton, so you gave up continuing the investigation."
The lady concluded, almost guessing what Xia De was thinking:
"Yes, that's it. I don't want to get into trouble for this. Of course, by doing this, I have terminated the investigation on my own initiative. If you want, I can return the advance payment Uncle Sparrow collected to you. This investigation You can also take the book with you, but I have nothing to do with this matter... Please excuse me for saying this, but I also hope that you will not get involved too much with this matter."
Mrs. La Soya is related to the illegal organization [Blood of Mercury], and this organization is planning to make big news recently. Now that the professors have helped Xia De cut off all connections with [Blood of Mercury], Xia De also does not want to have any contact with illegal organizations.
"Detective, thank you for your kindness, but I don't care what background that kind of woman has. Don't I have one?"
Mrs. Lawrence, who was focused on finding evidence of her husband's infidelity, raised her head and said.
"But that Lady La Soya, she..."
Xia De didn't know how to express it. He really didn't want this poor woman to suffer bad luck because she misunderstood what she meant.
"Not only does she have connections with the upper class aristocracy, but she also has connections with the local gangsters. Do you understand, she is the kind... who can make us suffer misfortune, whether it is through legal or illegal means."
Xia De tried to exaggerate the opponent's power.
"Detective, I understand your kindness, but I'm not a homemaker either."
Hearing this sentence, Xia De immediately recalled the basic information of the client. Although Mr. Lawrence and Mrs. Lawrence are not aristocrats, they are big factory owners, and the combined property in their hands is enough to scare foreigners who don't know enough. The two did not start from scratch, they both had prosperous families, and their marriages were mixed with elements of interest.
If it weren't for Detective Sparrow's reputation for investigating extramarital affairs, a client of this level would not have come here. Therefore, Mrs. Lawrence's claim that she is very skilled is not her boasting.
"Detective, the world is actually not as simple as we thought."
The ordinary woman said to the ring warlock from the outlander that the perfume on her body was very strong, but it was unexpectedly not very offensive. At least Mia did not show dissatisfaction with the client.
"The world is like an island, detective, but the truth lies outside the island. In this world, there are some amazing people, powerful, effective, weird and dangerous. I know some people like this in the afternoon tea parties of housewives. They can Solve my troubles."
Of course Xia De understood what she didn't want to say in detail. After being shocked, he didn't know what to express for a while.
The Kingdom and the Orthodox Church have a deep cooperative relationship. Although the three major thaumaturgy academies are hidden outside civilized society, they are more or less related to the nobles and the royal family. When Professor Sanchez talked about Miss Louisa mentioned. Ring magicians of irregular origin may also appear around ordinary people for gold pounds or other reasons, so Mrs. Lawrence said that she knew ring magicians, it should not be that she knew a liar:
"is that so?"
He believed that his expression at the moment must be very strange:
"That's good, but Mrs. La Soya is really dangerous. No matter what means you have, please be careful and cautious."
The young detective nodded.
"Yes, of course I understand that, if I really want to do something, of course I have to be very cautious, and I will not show myself in front of the other party... This investigation report is very good, I can borrow So I have the whereabouts of that shameless woman and my husband."
She rolled up the report and put it in her small lady's satchel. Then he took out his wallet, opened the brass buckle, took out two golden coins representing 1 pound each, and put them on the tea table in the middle of the two sides~www.mtlnovel.com~The finger with red nail polish was on the coin Tapped on:
"I'm sorry for the death of Detective Sparrow Hamilton. He is a very reliable person. This is the final payment for this commission, Detective. The rest has nothing to do with you and will not involve you."
The lady smiled politely at Xia De, then straightened her skirt and stood up.
The original final payment was "1 pound and 7 shillings", but now it has changed to "2 pounds". Xia De wondered whether he should express his gratitude. He stood up to bid farewell to the client, and at the same time being polite, he vaguely understood that the other party would never appear in this house again:
"Mrs. Lawrence..."
In the foyer on the first floor, Xia De stopped the lady who was about to go out. Of course, he couldn't reveal his identity as a ring magician, but he didn't want her to suffer bad luck either:
"Be careful, even if you know a very good friend, but Mrs. La Soya is not simple herself, she is quite a dangerous person."
Mrs. Laurence turned and smiled at him:
"Detective Hamilton, you're a really nice guy. But I think you're not really fit to be a detective here compared to your uncle."
"Huh? Why is Sparrow Hamilton's evaluation so bad? Franklin Jr. also seemed to hate him last time."
thought Shad, standing on the stairs watching Mrs. Lawrence open the door of the apartment on the first floor and board the carriage waiting for her at the door.
The young detective walked to the door and stood on the stone steps of No. 6 Place Saint Teresa, watching the private carriage drive away after half a circle around the streets of the square under the gloomy sky, wondering what might happen next Things are very worrying.
In the dreary city of Tobeysk in summer, it seems that it is going to rain.
