0365 Wallet Lost
What another one who lost his wallet!
Looking at Duke Lionheart, who was anxiously rummaging through his body in front of him, Jacob's heart, which had not been stable for long, suddenly jumped high again.
Yesterday's guest lost his wallet, has caused him to lose his job as a waiter in the VIP area, and can only go to the door to greet guests, if the same mistake occurs only one day later, then I am afraid that I will not even have to do the work of welcoming guests, and even if this duke with a bad temper insists on pursuing it, it is not impossible to be expelled directly!
Damn it! Is it so hard for these damn guests to take care of their wallets?
"You...... Don't worry, I'll help you think about it first!"
After taking two deep breaths vigorously and suppressing the heart that almost jumped out of the heart, Jacob Qiang, who secretly said something bad, said with a smile:
"Are you sure you still have your wallet before you enter our drinks section?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense!"
After switching the [Master of Performance], Leon, who had lost his wallet, stomped his feet and said angrily with an anxious face:
"Didn't I show you my badge before? If I don't have a wallet, where did I get my badge from? Could it be that the dog on the side of the road gave it to me with its mouth?"
Is that so?
I tried to recall the situation when I entered the door, and found that it seemed to be ...... Seem...... After almost this was the case, Jacob, who saw the sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but grit his teeth, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"What about you...... Where did they go from the moment they entered?"
"You brought me all the way, and you still ask me?"
Leon, who had lost his wallet, yelled twice, and said with an anxious face:
"The entrance, the main desk, the staircase, the bar, and this private room! That's it! Damn it! How could my wallet be gone?"
"You...... Don't worry! Hold your horses! Maybe you just fell on the road, I'll help you find it!"
He kept saying don't worry, but Jacob, who was already panicking, hurriedly turned around and tried to look around the way he came, without the slightest doubt that Leon had really lost his wallet.
After all, the other party is a genuine nobleman, even if he seems to be ridiculed by the nobles because of eating the prince's soft rice, but he won't pretend to lose his wallet and tease his little waiter, right?
And if you look at it this way, the whereabouts of the wallet are most likely to be dropped after taking the badge, or it was placed on the main table when signing, as long as you find it quickly enough, maybe it hasn't been picked up by others......
……
"You wait!"
Just as Jacob wanted to leave, he felt a sudden pain in his wrist, as if someone had pulled him hard.
Turning back in surprise, Jacob was somewhat horrified to find that His Excellency the Duke, who had lost his wallet, was squinting his eyes and looking himself up and down suspiciously.
"What are you running?"
"Huh? I'm going to find you a wallet!"
"It's okay to find a wallet, but what I'm asking is, what are you running?"
In the slightly dimly lit room, Leon's blazing black eyes, like two dark dark fog lamps, frantically devoured the surrounding light, and at the same time, it swallowed up all the little courage that Jacob had left.
"If you're looking for a wallet, why don't you wait for me to come along? Why are you in such a hurry to get out of my way?"
"I...... I'm worried that your wallet will be picked up......
"Are you worried that my wallet will be picked up, or are you worried that you won't have time to hide what you stole?"
"Do you think...... No! Not me! It's really not me!"
Seeing that Leon actually suspected that he had taken his wallet, Jacob couldn't help but tremble, and then shook his head again and again with horror in his eyes and said:
"I really didn't take it! I've never stolen anything from anyone! Not really! I swear!"
He was telling the truth, and he really didn't take it......
I looked at Jacob, although he was flustered and frightened, but there was no "contradiction" and "conflict"
After the soul fire appeared, Leon nodded slightly, then squinted his eyes and continued to dig:
"I'm sure you didn't take it...... But don't you really know anything?"
"What...... What do you mean?"
"I mean, people who work as waiters don't usually want to offend people.
For example, if my wallet falls on the bar, you see someone else taking my wallet, but you find that person's identity is very special, and you are worried about getting into trouble, so you deliberately say that you don't know anything, or you don't see that person's face...... Would you do that?"
"No, no! I won't! I...... I probably wouldn't!"
"Huh? Why hesitate when you say that?"
Seeing that Jacob was slightly fluctuating and conflicting, but it was far from the level of the Soul Flame of lying, Leon couldn't help frowning, and then switched from "Suspicious Duke" to "Angry Duke", and said with a chill in his eyes:
"Say it! What the hell are you hesitating about?"
"I...... I ......."
"I've been patient enough!"
The impatient Duke Aung raised a finger and said with an unkind expression:
"One last chance, tell the truth about what you're hesitating about, otherwise don't blame me for calling someone to arrest you! I hope you'll be as tough as you are now when you fall into the hands of the secret police of the Secret Investigation Bureau!"
"Don't! I say! I'll just say it!"
Seeing that His Excellency the Duke in front of him was really angry, Jacob couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube and said:
"The reason why I hesitate is because there was also a guest who lost her wallet yesterday, and she lost her wallet like you, and I remember that her wallet was taken by someone, and I even looked at that person to remember his appearance.
Can...... But when the customer who lost her wallet found it, I couldn't remember the face of the person who took her wallet, and I remembered that someone took the wallet, and I couldn't even remember whether it was a man or a woman......
Can't remember physiognomy......
So it's an amnestic anomaly? Or an anomaly that makes it less presence?
After keeping the information in his heart, Leon's expression moved slightly, remembering the [List of Evil Fallen] from the Twin Bureaus, and even remembering someone from the Twin Bureaus - the female reporter named Nicole.
If I'm not mistaken, she happens to have something on her body that can dispel breath, and is it also one of the effects of sheeptail that makes witnesses can't remember her face?
If there is no [Evil Fall List], it may not be certain, but in a place where there are anomalies from the Twin Bureaus, there are suspected signs of activity of members of the Twin Branches, it is very suspicious......
"I see......
After muttering to himself, Leon's tense expression eased slightly, and then he looked up at the very frightened waiter in front of him, and said with a calm face:
"Then I'll believe for the time being, my wallet is not for you...... Ay...... I wanted to have a drink today, but I wasn't allowed to register, and I lost my wallet!"
After waving his hand in disappointment, Leon got up with disappointment in his eyes and said:
"Forget it, don't drink it!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Seeing that Leon seemed to have given up on pursuing the purse, Jacob couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly followed him, and went downstairs step by step, and then asked for a pen and paper from the main table, and said earnestly:
"If that's convenient, can you tell us about the style of your wallet?" Is there anything that can be revealed?"
"Hmm."
Considering that he had to do a full set of acts, he was not in a hurry to find it if he lost his wallet, and it seemed suspicious to leave with one mind, Leon casually said nonsense:
"My wallet...... Naturally, it was embroidered with the lion crest of the Lane family, and then my name was sewn with precious gold thread, and my portrait was placed, and there was a lot of money in it......
I also forgot how many there were, after all, it's good for people like me to go out and remember to bring money.
How can you have the energy to calculate how much money you have brought? Anyway, it's enough to bring flowers, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You're right!"
After scolding the dog nobles for not dying well, it is better to go out and be run over by an eighteen-wheeled steam carriage, Jacob accompanied Leon to the waiting area with a smile, and then hurried back to the main stage with the memorized characteristics.
Leon, who was sitting on the sofa in the waiting area, squinted his eyes and began to wonder what the female reporter from the Twin Bureaus wanted to do, and whether she knew the news that the director of the Aquarius had been sent to the dead world......
"Lord Duke!"
Just as Leon frowned and pondered, a call full of joy suddenly reached his ears.
Leon looked up with some surprise, and found Jacob holding a gold-filigree purse that looked very precious, and he hurried over with joy on his face, and reported happily:
"Lord Duke, your wallet has been found!"
「……」
(`Д)?!
