Chapter 78: The Prom
Bernard Callawy, with the rank of lieutenant, chief of the Operations Section of the MI9 "Internal Security and Counterintelligence Unit", former secretary to Viscount Stafford
Audrey remembers the list of titles, and feels very disdainful of the Lieutenant Calaway, thinking that he must have taken a bribe from the gang to investigate a bounty hunter who administers justice for the poor.
However, after thinking about it for a while, she decided not to use her connections directly to say hello, but to close the investigation through the regular process of a friend who worked in MI9, after all, the investigation order itself was very problematic and could not stand up to scrutiny.
The most important thing for her now is not to have an overt relationship with Furth Wall and Hugh Dilcha - after the "Tarot Society", Audrey feels that she is no longer an innocent and ignorant girl.
Glerint also wanted to solve the problem in a normal way, so he planned to find a day to hold a dance party and invite Conse over...... Well, it's quite normal for Cons to take the lead in a certain level of scrutiny of MI9's internal departments, and that's a good idea! Audrey muttered to herself, leaning towards her friend's opinion.
Conse is the youngest son of Viscount Learson, and their family has a very good relationship with the Hall family. According to Audrey, after graduating from the University of Tingen, Cons entered MI9, because he was a nobleman, and currently holds a key position in the internal monitoring team.
"But it's too deliberate for Glerint to organize the ball, and if someone else connects with me, it might think of me...... Well, I remember that there was a ball at Earl Wolf's house to-morrow, and Conse should be there, and then Glerint would mention that there were officers who had taken bribes and that needed to be examined. Audrey nodded slightly and made a decision.
At that moment, she suddenly saw her big golden retriever Susie sneak behind the flowers in the garden in a sneaky manner, to a place that only a gardener would reach.
Susie...... What is it going to do? Audrey was stunned.
The golden retriever seemed to be confused by the scent of the flowers, and did not notice the owner behind him, and it opened its mouth and made a "ahh
Immediately afterward, it caused the surrounding air to vibrate, and the words that were jerky and not mellow sounded sounded:
"Hello."
"How are you?"
Audrey's mouth opened a little bit, completely forgetting the etiquette of an elegant lady, she stood up abruptly and blurted out: "Susie, can you speak?" When will you be able to speak? ”
The big golden retriever jumped up in fright and turned to face his master.
It wagged its tail in a panic and quickly, opening and closing its mouth a few times before it shook the air around it:
"I ......"
"I don't know how to explain it...... I'm just a dog. ”
……
In the West End, in the bedroom of a garden villa on Williams Street, a fair-skinned, dark-haired lady is slowly dressing, her movements are like a beautiful picture, and her every move looks so charming and seductive.
And her blue eyes were also full of spring love at this time, and she looked watery at a strong man about thirty years old who was panting on the bed.
"The Witch of Pleasure deserves the name of 'Pleasure', and it is really powerful!" The man gasped for a long time before he regained some strength, and he almost couldn't hold it when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, but fortunately, he himself was also an extraordinary person, and he forcibly entered a meditative state to maintain his clarity.
"Lieutenant Bernard, you are also very powerful, I couldn't help but beg for mercy just now." The charming lady glanced at the other party with infinite charm, and said with a smile: "How is it, are you satisfied with this gift to repay the grace of saving your life?" ”
"Satisfied, satisfied...... But, Ms. Rey, it would be better if you could call Lina with you! The man named Bernard smiled lewdly.
"Can't I satisfy you? And you should know that Lina has no experience in this area, she is still very young. Rey paused his button-fastened hand and gave the other party a blank look.
"There is also the fun of youth! Moreover, she caused the trouble of the substitute punishment, and she deserves to make amends for it, doesn't she? "Bernard clearly doesn't intend to give up.
Rey tilted his head and thought for a while, then got out of bed, tied up his hair as black as night, and then looked at Bernard and said, "It's not impossible for you to want Lina...... But you have to promise to do one thing for me. ”
"What's the matter? Let's hear it first. Even with lust, Bernard still maintained a certain amount of caution, after all, he was a witch in front of him.
"It's not that dangerous...... I want you to help me investigate the details of Beckland's squad of substitute punishers. This includes who they are, their respective sequences, and what seals are below level '2'. Well, it would be better if there was personality or specific family information. Rey picked up the cold tea on the table, took a sip and said.
She said it easily, but this obviously startled Bernard, and he didn't care about the pants he hadn't put on, so he stood up and said incredulously: "Are you crazy?!" You're still thinking about revenge on the Storm Church?! Revenge on the punisher?! Not to mention the 'Singer of the Gods', even the captain of the substitute punisher is also a strong person who has contracted the holy relics. ”
"The things in this black tea are good, but unfortunately they don't have any effect on the Witch of Pleasure." Rey put down the teacup, first commented, and then said unhurriedly: "Don't get excited, this is actually the need of the 'mission', and revenge is just a matter of hand." The 'Singer of the Gods' may be powerful, but there are people who will hold him back. And the captain of the Punisher Squad, he has not been able to contract the relics for a long time, and that thing is only a burden to him at the moment. ”
Hearing that it was part of the "mission", Bernard's expression softened a little, and he hesitated for a moment before making up his mind: "With my authority, I can only inquire about the situation of the general team members, if you want to know more, go to Lockhard, his current location is more well-informed." ”
"Lockhard Siakam? Duke Negan's secretary? "Rey had been traveling among all kinds of aristocratic men for the past month, and he also knew a lot about the people of the upper class.
"Yes, he is also the person sent by MI9 to the Duke, and he is my subordinate...... As for how to get in touch with him, I don't think it's hard for you. Bernard nodded, then his face became ambiguous again, and he asked with a smile, "So, Lina's business?" ”
"I'll send her over when you've gathered the information for me...... It's time for her to take that step. Hehe, speaking of which, although the contents of your black tea have no effect on me, they are very useful to her. ”
After Rey finished speaking, he didn't care about Bernard's response, turned and opened the door and walked out of the bedroom. Then, I went down to the second floor and returned to my guest room.
"The special '2' level seal in the hands of the substitute punisher that can create mirror space, I must get it!"
While thinking so, Rey sealed the room with spirituality, and then after taking out all kinds of utensils, he carefully took out the materials from the tin box in exchange for the contributions accumulated from previous missions, and put them in the glass bottle in order.
……
Hilston, Issinger Detective Agency.
Although he has the intention of actively finding the whereabouts of the two witches, Abner currently has no clues, no clues, and no original plot to learn from, so he can only put it on hold for the time being, and talked to the teacher about his intention to officially become a detective and accept the commission in order to play.
"Although I can't tell you the rules of acting because of the oath, I can say that there is no problem with your thinking in general." Detective Issinger said vaguely.
But that's enough for Abner, who has been an extraordinary for less than two months, and it's time to settle down, just in time to summarize the code.
"So, tomorrow is Sunday, and in the evening I will have a ball in the nearby public ballroom, and I will gather my fellow Bakerland, as well as my friends from the police and newspapers, and introduce you to them by the way. Oh, don't think that peers must be competitive, and our cooperation is actually more when encountering complex commissions. By the way, your friends can also invite them over. "Detective Issinger is clearly very good at this kind of person.
Is this the legendary prom social? Abner is not resistant to this, he was not a dead house when he taught in the university in his previous life, and basic communication was still maintained, but he was limited to skewering with friends at that time, clubbing, karaoke, traveling together, etc., and he really hadn't seen such a high-end thing as a ball.
Just invite friends...... Hugh hasn't come back yet, and the only friends in Beckland are Forth at the moment, right? That salted fish will accept an invitation to the ball? But I can't say, in the novel, she actually worked hard for writing materials. When I go to give her a message later, I will say hello by the way.
As for the other general acquaintances...... Maybe you can call Reporter Mike and Darkwell over? Well, Mike Reporter can try to invite it, Duckwell will forget it first, I don't want the teacher's prom to fall on his mouth.
After making up his mind, Abner slept in the lounge for a while, and then went out again to take the subway to the bridge area.
Abner didn't know where Furth lived. Hugh was very strict about her friend's privacy, and would not reveal it at will, and she would not tell her specific address without the consent of Furth, even Abner.
However, they had agreed in advance by telegraph in the port of Enmat, that if nothing special was to be done, Furth would dine at Morris Restaurant in the Bridge district every evening during this time.
Because he always stayed in the best hotel, slept in the best cabin, and ate the special food of various places during his previous trips with Hugh, Abner felt a little dazed when sitting in this restaurant with average decoration and average taste......
After a little waiting, as the door of the dining room was pushed open, the figure of Furth finally appeared in front of Abner's eyes.
