Ulysses immediately opened the handwritten letter, which seemed to be very short, and he put it away after a brief glance.

It can be seen that Ulysses is not a very talkative person: "You are visiting Tingen for the first time? ”

"Yes." Hobert smiled, "The scenery here is much more beautiful than that of Beckland, but then again, because of the fog of Beckland, you can't see the view of that city at all." ”

"At least it's bustling." Ulysses ignored Hobart's joke: "Chief Christine's telegram says that you are on a business trip because of the law firm?" ”

"Yes, to deal with a commercial dispute case, I will defend the defendant."

"The defendant can't be Dominic, right?"

Hobert was stunned: "How did you guess?" ”

Ulysses grimaced, "Dominic is my brother-in-law, and I've heard him talk about it. ”

Hobert laughed, "Such a coincidence? ”

Ulysses spread his hands: "The circle in the city of Tingen is not very large. ”

He said, "I will ask the butler to arrange a carriage for you, and you will be at your disposal at your disposal while you are in Tingen." If you need me to do so, just ask. ”

"Thank you for your help."

Ulysses arranged for Hobert to stay in a villa in the suburbs, and after dropping him off at the villa, he asked the butler to arrange the rooms and carriage, and then left the villa.

It was during the conversation with the butler that Hobart learned that this villa was one of the many properties in Ulysses, and that it was usually arranged here when Ulysses' good friends or comrades-in-arms came to Tingen.

Hobert said to himself, is this like a high-ranking officer!

Thinking back to Christine, although his villa in the center of Beckland was enough to buy several villas in Tingen, there was only that one property, which was a bit shabby compared to his original subordinate Ulysses.

It occurred to Hobert that, of course, there might be other properties he didn't know about.

When I came to the room prepared for Hobert, it was indeed much more comfortable than in the hotel, the decoration was not very luxurious, it was very elegant, and the furniture was more elegant.

After a little rest, Hobert saw that it was getting late, and planned to visit Mr. Dominic again tomorrow.

Ulysses did not come to entertain Hobart because he was busy with official business, and Hobart was the only one in the huge dining room, and he was a little unaccustomed to the sudden extravagant life.

After dinner, Hobert was walking in the garden, he looked at the night sky, and wondered what Mr. Ke, who belonged to the same city, was doing now.

……

At this time, Klein had just finished dinner, sat on the single sofa in the living room, picked up the "Ahowa Evening News" that had just been delivered, and read it leisurely.

Benson grimaced and was reading a grammar book.

Melissa was also busy, with textbooks and stationery in front of her, as well as compasses, rulers, etc., as if she was doing homework.

Suddenly, the gas lights in the living room and dining room suddenly dimmed, and the three siblings looked at the lamps at the same time, trying to find the cause.

At this moment, Crane felt something touch his arm, there was no one else around him, and this light touch made his hair explode.

He turned on his vision and immediately saw a small, pale hand beside him, clutching a neatly folded piece of paper.

It's the messenger.

Crane breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the letter under the cover of the newspaper, and the messenger left.

"Strange ......," Melissa muttered in front of the gas lamp, and after checking for a long time, she found no problem.

Klein shook his head and smiled: Why is it that the girls in our family are in charge of this kind of thing, and the men are watching.

After the gaslighting was normal, everyone started to work on their own business again.

Under the cover of the newspaper, Klein opened the letter, and it was indeed Ms. Dalie's reply, in which she detailed the knowledge and precautions related to spiritism.

Klein benefited greatly from this knowledge.

At the end of the letter, Dai Li wrote: If you encounter something difficult to understand or difficult to solve recently, don't hesitate! Send a telegram to Beckland for help now!

Klein smiled wryly: Ma'am, did you get any news? Don't say it so scary, okay?

……

Early the next morning, Hobert arrived at Dominic's company in a two-wheeled carriage provided for him, and discussed the case with Dominic in detail.

He was going to contact Mr. Ke or Captain Dunn in a day or two, and he should try to be as natural as possible, as for why he wanted to be natural, he couldn't remember it for a while, in short, in his plan, this contact must be natural.

Mr. Dominic's case is not complicated, and in the first half of this year, at the initiative of Mr. Dominic, he invested in a number of futures with another billionaire, Mr. Claude.

However, when this cargo passed through the raging sea, it is not known whether it was robbed by pirates or shipwrecked.

In short, this investment failed, and for Dominic, it was only one of several investments he made, and the losses he suffered were acceptable to him.

But Mr. Claude is facing a financial crisis recently, and this investment is very important to him.

After the investment failed, Mr. Claude hoped that Dominic, the initiator of the investment, would pay him a sum of compensation. He believes that this investment is far more risky than the one described by Dominica, and that Dominica is a scam!

Dominic, of course, will not pay compensation, he thinks that Claude is short of money now, so he wants to blackmail.

So after several attempts to reach a satisfactory solution, Mr. Claude took Dominic to court.

The lawyer with whom Dominic often worked was suddenly ill and hospitalized, and it was only after a friend's introduction that he found Barton.

Dominic didn't expect that Barton Barton would only send an assistant to solve the case, but after chatting a few words, he found that the young man in front of him had a clear mind and a high level of professionalism, so he was relieved to sign the entrustment agreement.

Then Hobert went to visit the plaintiff's lawyer, who was very polite, and he knew that Claude was unlikely to win the case, but in order to fight for his client's interests, he still wanted Mr. Dominic to pay some money to settle the matter.

The two talked for a long time, but there was not much progress.

In the afternoon, Hobart went to visit Mr. Claude again.

Claude was in his forties, and his company was deserted, with a huge office building that seemed to have only one secretary working.

"It's too late," Claude, who had bloodshot eyes and smoked a cigarette, sneered, "It's too late, Dominic will pay for everything he did!" ”

Eventually, the conversation broke up.

When Hobert sorted out the materials and returned to Dominic, it was already about five o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as the two of them sat down on the sofa, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl pushed open the door, she was wearing a blue lace dress, her long brown hair was a little naturally curly, and her face was a little cute baby fat.

When she saw Hobert, she apologized a little and said, "Sorry Dad, I didn't know you had guests." ”

Dominic stood up and introduced: "This is Mr. Hobert, a young and promising lawyer from Beckland, and this is my daughter Elizabeth. ”

Hobert glanced at the baby fat on the girl's face, it should be Melissa's friend Elizabeth Yes, is the world so small?
