Abner had previously told Hugh about bringing the "Desolate" to the Daily Observer ball, and when he saw her looking like a businessman, he didn't think much of it, and walked up with Judy to register his identity.

Hugh glanced at Judy's signature, silently said "Roman", and then handed the two to the colleagues behind him to lead them into the headquarters of the Daily Observer.

The building had five floors, and the ball venue was located in the lobby on the first floor, so as soon as Abner and the two entered the door, they saw the neatly arranged chairs and the well-dressed guests who had already arrived.

Among them, women's dresses are mainly divided into two categories, one type of dress is either bright or dark, all bold and open, you can see the large white greasy on the chest and the arms on both sides, and the other type of clothing is fresh in color and quite conservative, and the interlocking bones are only faintly visible, or even covered.

In the kingdom of Rune, this meant a distinction between married and unmarried, with widows and divorced women being able to dress in both ways, but the former would be as dark as possible.

In addition to these, Abner saw the ladies with their shiny necklaces, delicate earrings, and all sorts of precious ornaments, which were noticeably more pompous than the balls held by the teacher and himself in the public ballroom.

After stepping into the hall, Judy said hello to Abner and left on her own, looking for the target of the mission.

Abner looked around, and found that he knew very few people, only a few senior inspectors of the National Police Agency, and he had a slight impression, which he was not familiar with when he first saw the reasoning students following the teacher to handle the case.

At this moment, a voice came from the door, and many guests looked at it and greeted them with smiles.

Abner looked curiously, and then saw a middle-aged gentleman in an olive-green army officer's uniform, wearing an orange ribbon, and several medals on his chest, leading his wife in tow.

- In the Kingdom of Rune, active and retired officers like to wear their uniforms at balls.

At the lady's side, there was a young girl in a long sky blue dress, her eyes were quite haughty, and there was a look of annoyance between her eyebrows.

Abner didn't recognize who it was, but vaguely heard the voices of those who greeted him, "Mr. Councillor."

"That's Congressman Makht, who served in the army, entered politics after leaving the army, started around Beckland, worked his way up to the lower house of the kingdom, was a believer in the goddess of the night, a member of the New Party, and supported the improvement of the atmosphere. Next to him is his wife Liana, who comes from a family of barristers and provides a lot of resources for her husband to enter politics, and is also a believer in the goddess of the night. ”

At this time, Mike's reporter walked over from the back of Abner's side, saw his confusion, and happily introduced.

Abner said hello to the old friend who had helped him brag a whole page in the incident of "Detective Goes to the Tiger's Den to Rescue the Flower Girl", and then looked in the direction of the door again, thinking:

MP Macht? Is it the unlucky guy whose family was made into a "monocle monster" by Amon and scared their daughter almost insane?

So, that haughty girl is Hazel, who was taken in as a student by the "mouse demigods" of the Jacob family?

Thinking of this, Abner couldn't help but look at the young lady with long dark green wavy hair and dark brown bright eyes, but at this moment, the girl who seemed to be Hai Rouer suddenly turned her head back to the door, her brow furrowed slightly.

Abner followed her gaze, and saw Fursshiran, dressed in a blue and white gown with intricate lace and intricate lace, walking in.

She was first startled by the crowd blocking the door to greet Congressman Makht, and was relieved to see that these people were not here to urge her to draft. Then she searched around for a while to find the long table with the food, and then walked briskly over it.

During this time, Hazel's eyes were always fixed on Furth and did not leave for a moment.

Abner frowned when he saw this, he remembered that in the original book, Hazel had an extraordinary item that could help her sense and steal "valuable" things, she paid so much attention to Furth, could it be that she was eyeing the bracelet that could "travel"?

Perhaps it was Abner who had been watching Hazel for a long time, which caused the Mike reporter to misunderstand, he smiled and patted Abner on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's the daughter of Councillor Mahert, Miss Hazel." She's a very far-sighted girl, and many confident gentlemen have hit a wall in her, so if you want to pursue her, you have to be prepared. ”

Abner came back to his senses when he heard this, and replied with a smile: "I can't be as high as the daughter of a member of the House of Commons, Mike, reporter, you are really joking." ”

"You can't have such a mentality, young people have to be motivated, how can they not even dare to pursue it? What's more, you are Beckland's 'hero', how can you not have the courage to pursue the girl you like? Reporter Mike was already familiar with Abner by this time, and he could afford to joke, so he laughed and encouraged.

Keep your voice quiet, I don't want to make tabloid headlines again because of lace news...... Abner secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface, he deliberately looked at Furth, who had already walked to the food area, and said to the Mike reporter next to him: "I think I have a new goal, let's miss it first, Mike." ”

……

Foirth came to a long table and reached for some of her favorite sweets, but because of the intricate structure of the gown on her, she tripped over the corners of her skirt without getting used to it......

"It's over......" Furth struggled to adjust his body's center of gravity, but as if his sense of balance had suddenly been lost, he couldn't.

Seeing that she was about to fall on a long table full of food, Firth was full of chagrin, and it was a real sin to ruin the dress that Hugh's father had left her. Although Hugh won't say anything on the surface, she will definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart.

Just at the last moment, Foirth suddenly felt a strong arm enveloping her, and she quickly used this external force to adjust her center of gravity and regain her footing.

"Thank you." Foirth thanked him heartily, and then looked up at the visitor, only to be surprised to find that it was Abner who had stopped him from making a fool of himself.

At this time, Miss Hazel, who was not far away, pouted in some disappointment, and the steps that had been about to step forward suddenly stopped.

"Abner, why are you here?" Furth asked, wide-eyed.

"Isn't it normal for me to be invited because I've been a 'hero' and recently been a popular figure in the Daily Observer? Why, Hugh didn't tell you? Abner was joking on the surface, but secretly he quietly motioned to Furth with his eyes and told her to follow him.

Firth immediately understood, her eyes rolled, and she smiled, "Hugh will not reveal the news of her friend at will, unless he has the friend's consent. ”

Then, she deliberately laughed with Abner, and the two of them chatted together as they went to a remote corner of the hall.

Hazel, who had been paying attention to Firth, saw that the two men had completely disappeared from sight, and wanted to chase after them, but her mother happened to ask her to come over to meet the other guests......

In desperation, Hazel had no choice but to perfunctory those people first, and secretly decided in her heart that when the ball started in a while, she would invite the man just now to dance, no...... It should have been waiting for the man to invite him to dance without refusing, and then inadvertently asking him about the girl's specific identity.

……

On the other side, before Furth had time to ask Abner what was important to talk about at the ball, he heard the other man say:

"Furth, you've been targeted by a 'thief'...... After going back, it is better to change houses with Hugh, so as not to be robbed at night. ”
