Act Seventy-Four. Something is wrong with you
"Something is wrong with you."
On Sunday, in a lavishly decorated light food café in the central area of the Pan West Sea, the blonde rich second generation, Manfred Dannay, almost squirted out half of the black coffee after listening to Bai Ge's words.
"You'll definitely be able to get an invitation for next weekend's charity banquet, so it should be fine to take me one."
Bai Ge said confidently.
The only rich man he knew who could sneak into the banquet was Manfred Dannay, the son of a director of the Greenwich Consortium.
Then it makes sense for him to help get an invitation.
It really can't work, Bai Ge also said it, if he can't get it, let Manfred Danai take Bai Ge in.
"I'm an able-bodied adult male, why would I take another man to a banquet?"
Manfred Danai sensed that something was wrong with the guy in front of him.
"You can understand it as a companion, just as those gentlemen will bring their female companions, and what's wrong with bringing male companions."
Bai Ge replied as a matter of course.
"No, I didn't want to go to this banquet......"
Manfred Dannay sighed.
Although he received the invitation, he naturally had no intention of going to the banquet because he didn't like this kind of social occasion, and if it wasn't for Bai Ge finding him, Manfred Dannay would have almost forgotten about it.
"Speaking of which, what are you doing at this banquet, do you know a rich lady who wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to her?"
Manfred Danai quipped that in his opinion, this Detective Yassen Hercule is very eccentric, not like the kind of nerd who focuses on the case meticulously, nor is he a bastard who is all kinds of exquisite, Yasin Hercule always seems to be absent-minded, and always able to give targeted opinions when everyone is in trouble, and the meeting of the ABC serial murder case is not as good as the part-time job at the Library of Alexandria, which really makes people wonder what this guy is thinking.
Now, it is time to mingle with the rich and rich, and it has to be said that Yassen Hercule has managed to arouse the interest of Manfred Dannay.
"I took on a commission to investigate certain people at the banquet, and it is inconvenient to disclose the specifics."
Bai Ge replied, he couldn't say that he was going to kill people at the banquet.
"If it's just an invitation, I can transfer my copy to you, and you can go in as my agent."
Manfred Dannay was a little curious, but he knew that it would be rude to inquire about the work of other detectives, so he resisted the urge to ask.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Manfred!"
Bai Ge thought for a moment and continued.
"Actually, it's the first time I've attended such a banquet, and the clothes on my body may be too shabby, I wonder if you can borrow me a formal suit, which can be regarded as decent as your agent?"
“?”
Isn't this person a bit excessive?
Manfred Dannay suddenly felt that he had lost something.
However, it occurred to me that since he was present on his behalf, the necessary decency was still needed.
Moreover, Manfred Danai has a lot of money anyway, not to mention borrowing a set or giving a set.
“...... Yes, but this kind of thing is tailor-made, if you don't have it, I know a good tailor, let's go and measure it now, I'll pay for it. ”
Manfred Dannay thought for a moment and said.
Yasin Hercule is a powerful man in his own right, and he doesn't mind investing some money in this detective.
Manfred Dannay never cared if the other party had money or not, and he didn't have money anyway.
"Good!"
Bai Ge quickly agreed.
The reason why he brought this up was not to get a formal suit, although Bai Ge had searched for a passable formal suit of tens of thousands of pounds, but the high-quality men who could really make Grech Heidar notice would definitely not wear a suit purchased online to the banquet.
Therefore, Bai Ge's idea is to let Manfred Danai help him get a set of outfits, at least he looks like a high-quality single man on the outside, as for how to let her be alone with him after coming into contact with Grech Hedar, Bai Ge feels that Yasen Ropin's ability to flirt with girls should not be a problem.
He thinks that Grech Heidar should have accepted the acceptance of the Sand Tooth Consortium and used a fake identity to attend the banquet, and Bai Ge needs to see through the other party's disguise at the banquet.
As for why it is the Sand Tooth Consortium again, Bai Ge asked [Lao Tzu is the most lovely in the world], probably because the base camp of the Sand Tooth Foundation, New Constance City, is far away from the core area of the Pan-Western Sea, and the customs and culture are different, so it has not been recognized by the mainstream of the Pan-Western Sea for a long time.
This time, the behavior of Grank Augustus of the Sand Tooth Foundation to run for Speaker was controversial, and even within the Pan West Sea, there are differences between different factions, in the statistics of the school city, the proportion of students who go to the Sand Tooth Foundation after graduation is the lowest, except for those students who were born around New Constance, it is almost impossible to let students from New Francia, New Rome, and Greenwich go to the remote East.
Decades ago, there was also a persecution of people around the city of Neu-Constan in other parts of the Pan-Western Sea, which caused a certain amount of public opinion turmoil, and even led to the impeachment of the speaker at that time, and finally stepped down.
Since then, the Sand Tooth Foundation has established relevant trading companies in various major cities, and it is also willing to recruit those who have been displaced to the Pan Western Sea, controversial personnel, to strengthen itself, of course, this behavior in turn makes the reputation of the Sand Tooth Foundation worse, a vicious circle.
Some even believe that if it weren't for the lack of a strong promoter of the Sand Tooth Consortium itself, this region, which is alienated from the Pan-Western Sea, would have become independent and become the fifth largest country long ago.
The reason why the racial and regional problems are so serious in the Pan-Western Sea is probably because the time of the "historical reproduction" of each city here is different, which has led to many problems in life and habits.
The classic question is where Roman orthodoxy is, with the new Rome naturally believing itself to be the successor of the powerful Roman Empire of the old era, while the new city of Constantine believes that it has the legacy of the great empire, and the cities around the New Mediterranean also proclaim themselves Roman orthodoxy.
As a result, the Roma Consortium and the Sand Tooth Consortium are at loggerheads in every way, from business to politics, and the debate between the two parliamentarians is an insignificant part of this confrontation.
As for the Sicilian consortium and the Frankish consortium, the dispute between the German consortium, and the tangled relationship between the Greenwich consortium and the Frankish consortium, which are also friends and foes, is another story.
"Sir, you're in pretty good shape, so you must exercise regularly on weekdays."
The tailor said casually as he put away the tape measure that measured Bai Ge's body.
"It's fine."
No, I actually spend my weekends in bed fishing and eating high-calorie food and drinks...... Bai Ge thought secretly in his heart.
As he walked out of the measuring room, he saw a man with a mustache standing in the store, looking at the suit hanging around him.
The man wears a well-made suit and monocles, and at first glance he looks indistinguishable from other gentlemen of the Western Sea, but his appearance still has a slight oriental charm, more like a mixed race.
This is the typical neo-Constance look.
"Huh? You're, Manfred of the Dannay family, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
The man saw Manfred Dannay, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said hello.
"Good morning, Councilor Augustus."
Manfred Dannay twitched the corners of his mouth and introduced Bai Ge at the same time.
"This is Councillor Grank Augustus, and this is my friend, Arsene Hercule."
Bai Ge didn't expect to meet this character who often appeared in the news here, but before he could sigh too much, Bai Ge had an intuition.
This is an ascender.
Unlike a second-order ascender like Manfred Dannet, Councilor Grank Augustus in front of him was obviously a stronger ascender than Bai Ge, and he also had a certain amount of suppressive power over him.
Is the Shadow Archetype an ascender...... Bai Ge thought that at least the fourth order, most likely the fifth order, it seems that the reason why Grank Augustus has the capital and the Roman consortium is also a large part of the factor.
Money, power, in the final analysis, is still inferior to their own strength, only by becoming a powerful upgrader, can you really have the right to speak.
"I came to Alexandria for a conference because I heard that this suit shop was very good, so I came to check it out."
Grank Augustus didn't have any opinion about Bai Ge's existence, but only said a simple word, reaching out and gently touching the fabric of the suit in front of him.
"Do you know that the silk used to make high-end silk suits was not native to the Pan-Western Sea in the old times, but came from Zhuxia, and at that time, silk, tea, and ceramics from the East were intertwined with Western spices and medicines, forming a trade route that is amazing to this day, and this is the Silk Road."
He seems to be speaking to Manfred Dannay.
"This trade route connected East and West, promoted cultural exchange, and ultimately guided history, and the city of New Constance used to be the brightest jewel of this trade route."
"New Constance does have a very good resource."
Manfred Dannay answered, seemingly unable to understand why Granck Augustus was saying this.
"New Constance has a glorious past, but a lot of people are obsessed with it, and the reason why I keep dressing up in Greenwich and studying these costumes and cultures is to learn from them how to revitalize old civilizations."
Grank Augustus smiled, then looked at the boss.
"Measure it for me, too."
Bai Ge did not participate in the conversation between the two, but when he actually met the parliamentarian, he felt that there seemed to be a gap from what was reported in the news, and the real Grank Augustus seemed to be more enlightened and kind, and of course, it is possible that people in politics have similar multifaceted natures.
It's just that Bai Ge doesn't agree with some of the things that the Sand Tooth Consortium itself does.
In the evening, Bai Ge, who returned home, took the time to prepare the notice of the assassination, but how to tell the other party made him a little distressed.
