At breakfast, Joyce kept thinking about how to get the news of Iana quickly and secretly.

Ordinary people can't reach such a high class at all, but he can't catch someone and ask if they know a woman named Ianna, that's too stupid.

The best thing to do is to induce others to take the initiative to talk about related things during the chat, after all, gossip is a human instinct.

Obviously, the "audience" is more suitable for this job! Joyce glanced at Sophia and sighed silently.

"Go and call Harry."

Soon Harry heard the noise, and Joyce asked him:

"Have you received any invitations to a banquet lately?"

Harry was a little confused, didn't you tell me to turn down all the invitations, and paused before replying:

"General Gordon's dinner time is on Saturday."

Joyce gave an "um":

"I know this, are there any other invitations?"

"On Thursday night, Councillor North's ball was also extended to you." Harry thought back carefully and picked out the one that was most likely of interest to Mr. Baron:

"Councillor North's political views are relatively moderate, and he has had many exchanges with Mr. William, and the relationship is acceptable."

Councillor North...... Oh, and remember, he called on the kingdom to stop colonizing the Rorsted Islands, but to spend decades to heal the wounds of the war and make Rorsted truly a part of Rune through co-governance with the natives.

It's a beautiful idea, but it's too naïve...... Joyce sighed for him in her heart, and decided:

"Reply to Councillor North, I'll be at the ball."

"Yes, Mr. Baron."

Although Harry was a little puzzled by the change in Mr. Baron's attitude before and after, he still bowed and retreated.

It didn't take long for him to return.

"Mr. Baron, the local policeman named Dean has come and said he has something to report to you."

It's pretty fast, it seems that his gangster career is not in vain...... Joyce smiled with satisfaction,

"Let him come...... Forget it, go straight to the study. ”

…………

This was Dean's second time in the garden villa, and he was so nervous on his first visit that he kept his head down the whole time, missing the opportunity to observe.

This time, he successfully completed two missions of Baron Best, carrying a huge amount of money that he could not have imagined before, and his self-confidence was slightly restored.

A valet's everyday outfit is comparable to my most decent clothes...... Dean looked at the manservant leading the way and sighed, and walked through the manicured garden to see the other manservant watering the flowers...... It is said that there are also stables and underground wine cellars, and it is not known what the "Ormere wine" named after the Giant King tastes like......

Elegantly decorated, the hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, looks like an expensive carpet...... Dean's mind diverged all the way, and before he knew it, he was on the second floor of the villa.

Trying to calm his mind, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door twice.

"Come in."

Dean pushed the door open and saw Baron Best, who was about his age, but made him ashamed of himself, and the beautiful maid who seemed to be standing next to him forever.

Well, the second most beautiful woman I've ever seen...... He only glanced at it briefly, and then unconsciously lowered his head again, until Baron Best asked declaratively:

"It's done."

Dean nodded hurriedly, took out a bulging envelope from his bosom and handed it over:

"It was cleaned up, and the bounty was collected through a secure channel, so I paid a lot of risk fees, and I only got 920 pounds."

After finishing the answer that had already been typed, he couldn't help but glance up, and was relieved to find that Baron Best's face was as usual.

Although he did not embezzle a penny, the deficit of two hundred and eighty pounds was enough to make him tremble, but fortunately, Baron Best obviously knew the rules and had no intention of pursuing it...... He didn't even count the money, more than nine hundred pounds is not money!

Unable to know the complex inner workings of Dean, Joyce was very interested in this young man who took the initiative to get in, neat, ambitious, and knew the rules.

He pulled out fifty pounds of cash and applauded:

"You're a lot faster than I thought you would, and you deserve it."

Fifty pounds!

Dean knew he was going to get the bonus, which was a way for the superior to control people, but he didn't expect it to be fifty pounds, which was more than all the money he had spent to buy the position of a police officer.

Is this a nobleman?

I took it with a thousand thanks, and looked at the face of the king of Rune who I don't know which generation was printed on the banknote, and felt so kind for the first time.

Joyce is not surprised by Dean's behavior, because there is a maid who loves money more by his side, and he finds that Sophia only likes to save money, but almost never spends it, and wonders if she will count money and play when she is alone.

He took a sip of warm Earl Grey black tea, after all, drinking coffee all the time is a bit monotonous, and found that Dean didn't mean to say goodbye at all, last time he knew how to look at eyes, maybe he didn't know how to drink tea to send guests?

"Anything else?"

"Mr. Baron, the results of what you asked me to investigate have been obtained."

What is the matter to investigate...... By the way, the police caught a gang member claiming to be the rebel spying on him......

There have been so many things lately that Joyce has almost forgotten this little thing:

"yes, let's hear about it."

Dean, who was allowed to do so, began to talk eloquently, skipping the specific process and coming straight to the conclusion:

"The gangster who was caught was named Amy, and after my investigation, he is now working for the Gentlemen."

"Gentlemen?" Joyce cooperated with the question.

"The Gentlemen's Party is a new gangster force that has only risen in recent years, the boss's name is Eric, he has recruited a group of homeless people and gangsters who have no jobs, and they are doing business of buying and selling news on the surface, but behind the scenes, they actually abduct and sell children, and the good-looking ones are sold to the Red Theater and various brothels, and the unsightly ones are trained to beg for ......"

What a bad gangster! Joyce duly showed the anger he deserved, and a sense of justice erupted as if to bring them to justice, but that was all, for he had heard of more cruel crimes than this.

But the body of the maid next to her began to tremble, looking at her expression, panicked, afraid, and hated......

He suddenly remembered that the maid lady had been kidnapped by the gangsters and lost her only loved one as a result...... Is it empathetic to hear something similar? Maybe it's the fear that has been buried in the heart that has been reawakened?

Joyce took Sophia's trembling hand and gave her a determined look that calmed her down.

Then, he turned to look at Dean, who had long since stopped talking:

"Why are the gentlemen spying on me?"

Dean, who had kept his head down since he saw Miss Maid's abnormality, replied:

"Because of a commission, but the identity of the client is known only to Eric, the boss of the Gentlemen's Party."

"What do you know about Eric?" Joyce asked, changing his mind.

Dean did some research on this and confidently said:

"Eric is a man under forty years old, feminine in appearance, and most hated to be called like a woman, always saying 'be elegant,' but he is ruthless in his actions."

"He used to be a member of a gang, but for some reason, the top of the gang all died overnight due to cannibalism, and the end result was that Eric took over most of the manpower, established the Gentlemen's Party, and established a connection with the Red Theater to quickly gain a foothold."

"The news center of the Gentlemen's Party is at the 'Gentlemen's Bar' on Fragrant Tree Avenue, where Eric spends most of his time taking commissions and giving orders."

After finishing his investigation in one breath, and his mouth was dry, Dean looked up to find Baron Best lost in thought, and the second most beautiful maid lady had regained her composure at some point.

After a while, Joyce spoke:

"I'm a guy who likes to exchange for equal value, and your investigation is detailed, and these fifty pounds are your reward."

Dean once again took the gold pound with a thousand thanks, and deliberately complimented:

"Thanks to the letter you sent to the police station, I have a chance to find out this information."

The fox fake tiger is quite skillful, and he didn't expect this layer...... Joyce said lightly:

"Only when you are good at seizing opportunities can you have a chance to succeed."

Dean was only satisfied, and left again with a sense of humor.

Joyce turned her gaze to the maid beside her.
