The lady who walked into the Eisinger Detective Agency was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a red dress, white and smooth skin, a plump figure, black hair like a waterfall, and blue eyes full of charm, very seductive.

Since Detective Isenger happened to be absent, the servants of the house took the lady to Abner's office in a somewhat distraught manner.

Abner was also slightly stunned when he saw this lady's appearance for the first time, but he was a well-informed person in the information age, so he quickly returned to normal and greeted politely: "Hello, ma'am." I'm Abner, Detective Stanton's apprentice and assistant. Detective Stanton hasn't returned yet, so if you have something to ask you to come back at 11 o'clock, "

The lady narrowed her eyes and smiled, although it was a simple action, it was very eye-catching. She glanced at Abner slowly, and said in a very pleasant voice, "I'm actually here for you, Mr. Brean. You're already a well-known detective in your neighborhood, and I have some small things to entrust to you. ”

Abner was a little surprised when he heard this, you must know that although he has a little fame, but the people who really come to him to do things are actually people who are not rich in money and have cheap plans, and the clothes and jewelry on the lady in front of him are very expensive, not like a person who cannot afford to trust a teacher.

However, since someone came to give the money, Abner would not refuse, he first took the lady to the reception area and sat down, and then asked, "Madam, it is an honor to have your approval, may I ask me, how can I help you?" ”

"Detective Blaine, just call me Rey." After the lady named Rey gave her name, she continued, "I would like to entrust you with an investigation of the interests and daily habits of these gentlemen, and the more detailed the better. ”

As she spoke, she took out a folded piece of letter paper from her bag and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Abner bowed, then unfolded the letter and read the name on it.

"Lord Natos, Viscount Conslek, Baron Gramire, Baron New Grass, ......"

"There are 12 in total, all of them are single aristocratic men...... Good guy, this lady is going to build a fish pond?! The corners of Abner's eyes twitched, and he subconsciously complained in his heart. Then, he recalled the information about these nobles in the teacher's information, and gradually had a bottom in his heart. However, he still pretended to be embarrassed, frowned slightly, and said, "This commission is not complicated, but it is very cumbersome, and it requires a long cycle and a large number of helpers to complete." ”

"I understand, I'll pay you the price you're happy with." Lady Rey bowed her head slightly, and then inadvertently threw a wink at Abner, giving a hint.

Abner turned a blind eye to this, and muttered for a moment:

"20 pounds, it involves a nobleman, and I have to take a certain risk, so the price of this commission is 20 pounds! Also, you'll have to give me at least a week. ”

In fact, most of the things that this lady wants, most of which are in the teacher's database, are at most a bit outdated, just reconfirm.

"The price was reasonable and I accepted! Well, I can pay you 5 pounds upfront and I'll come back again on Friday and pay you another 5 pounds if things go along. The rest will be given to you when all is done! "Ms. Rey seemed to have a lot of money, and she didn't make a bargain at all.

"Then let's sign the contract!" Abner took out the form contract and signed it first, then handed it to Ms. Rey.

The other party didn't seem to have even looked at it, so he signed it directly.

After sending Ms. Rey out the door and waking up the still-haunted valet, Abner returned to his office to revisit the commission. This is his habit, and it is also the need for the 'reasoning student' to play.

On the surface, Ms. Rey seems to be just a courtesan who selects quality men, which is more consistent with her dress and the content of her commission. But she always gives me a sense of danger and disobedience! In addition, there are some problems with the list of noble men she provides...... Although they are both single, they don't seem to be doing very well. According to the teacher's information, these people are either down, the economic situation is not optimistic, or they have offended the real power faction and temporarily lost power...... In short, these are people who have a certain status but no aristocratic substance! ”

One of the reasons why Ms. Rey chose these targets was because they deceived her by pretending to be glamorous. But this one may be very low, that lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, and even if one or two of her superb acting skills fool her, not everyone will be like this! Well, the second possibility is that these people were carefully selected by Ms. Rey, and falling out of power was her expected goal! ”

But what was the point of her choice? She is very rich herself, so she wants to find a man with status but embarrassment to improve her social status? There is this possibility, but this kind of lady is the object of many nobles' pursuit, and there is no need to find a detective to listen to the information, as long as she participates in a ball, the other party will be bait...... Unless her money is not coming from the right place! ”

Another possibility is what she wants to achieve with this type of man. For example, use the other party as a springboard to climb higher branches. Or...... Hey? This Baron Gramiel seems to have appeared in a novel! ”

Halfway through the reasoning, Abner suddenly narrowed his eyes, he silently opened his pure white eyes, recalled the content of "The Master of Mystery", and suddenly had a new idea:

"Baron Gramere turned out to be the unlucky guy who would be replaced by 'Lieutenant General Hurricane' Ziringers in the future...... Looking at it this way, the nobles on that list actually have another thing in common, that is, none of them hired the bodyguards of the Extraordinary! ”

"So, Ms. Rey, this is choosing the right person for Ziringers' disguise in advance? Yes, after replacing the unlucky guy, Zilingers quickly grasped the other party's habits, hobbies, and tone of voice, which was obviously someone gave him the corresponding information in advance. And this kind of intimate information is relatively easy to obtain only by beautiful women who are close to Baron Grammier......"

Abner thought about it at this point, and had roughly figured out the context of the matter, and as long as there was one or two more pieces of evidence to back it up, he could really confirm it. This reasoning, which knows the process of back-extrapolating the results, is indeed the simplest.

"Hey, now that I think about it, that Lady Rey isn't necessarily a real beauty! You must know that behind Ziringus's action was an unspeakable organization, and that organization and the Witch Church were allies in this series of events in Rune. And after Ziringus's death, his pirate fleet was also taken over by the Witch Church...... In this way, it makes sense to send a witch to collect information in advance! ”

Thinking of this, Abner had a headache, and sympathized with the manservant in the living room who still seemed to have lost his soul.

"It's better for me to pretend not to know about this matter, it involves the ancient sun god, as long as she doesn't come to provoke me, I don't need to deliberately do bad things. It doesn't have to be bad with the intervention of the 'writer'...... Besides, there are no good people on those lists, except for a few one or two, who are dead and don't lose money. ”

After Abner made up his mind, he did not immediately sort out the information, but prepared to change his reasoning logic a little, and then discussed it with the teacher. It is indispensable to guard against people, and Abner has no trust in a suspected 'witch', and must be prepared for unexpected accidents.

……

After Rey came out of the detective agency, he smiled with interest on his face and whispered to himself: "Very interesting little detective, you can ignore my charm!" Hmph, sooner or later, you will indulge in pleasure and can't extricate yourself! Then she boarded a carriage that had long been parked on the side of the road.

There was already a person waiting in the carriage at this time, it was a young girl with a pure face and a very literary temperament.

Seeing Rey return to the car at this moment, the young girl bowed slightly and asked with some curiosity: "Lord Rey, we can easily collect these superficial information, why spend money to entrust the detective to do it?" ”

"Because it's more natural and more in line with who we are, even if the official extraordinaries investigate, they won't have much suspicion, just think that I'm a mistress who is good at finding opportunities. And if this step is missing, it is not clear why we are so familiar with the habits of a nobleman that we can easily meet the other person. In this way, as long as it is investigated, it is easy to take it as a suspicion. Ms. Rey explained with a smile.

"But aren't those nobles so downtrodden that they don't have the bodyguards of the extraordinary? How did it lead to an official investigation? The young girl was still puzzled.

"Just in case. And the downfall on the surface is not necessarily true, and it is necessary for us to set aside the means to face the unexpected. Rey shook his head, pointed his finger at the young girl, and said, "Lina, you are just too careless, and you have no defense against the personnel you have developed, and now the other party has fallen into the hands of the official and has confessed to you." If I hadn't been with you before, you would have been ambushed by the official team in that loan shark gang! ”

"I didn't think Turner was so wasteful, and he could even do a bad job of selling people." Lina said with some dejection.

"Have you checked how the person you developed was exposed? I don't want to avenge him, but I have to take it as a warning. Rey asked.

"I didn't know what was going on...... But before Turner's accident, there was a bounty hunter who had investigated loan sharks, and maybe Turner's arrest had something to do with her, and I was planning to start investigating from her. By the way, that bounty hunter seems to be a little famous in the East End, called 'Arbiter'"
