Chapter 156: Melissa's Invitation

The three of them took turns resting for an hour, and after relieving them of the influence of the Sun Emblem, they set out on the way back.

It takes about three hours to get back to Tingen from the small town of Morse, and by the time the carriage stops under Zottland Straße 34, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Along the way, even while driving, Leonard repeatedly looked at 3-0782, the "Mutated Sun Emblem", with a puzzled expression, trying to find something wrong with it, but he couldn't get an answer until the seal was returned to Chanis Gate.

Returning from the basement to the second floor, Angel was stopped by Klein, who looked at the staircase that swirled to the underground, and before Leonard could catch up, he said:

"Let's continue the search for the 'Red Chimney' tomorrow, right? It's been delayed for days, and the progress is falling behind. ”

After this almost outing mission, it seems that he is no longer immersed in the death of old Neil?

Angel nodded and asked rhetorically, "Or every afternoon?" ”

"That's right, I've already reported to the captain, Leonard and I will go to look for clues to Lanerus in the morning, and the search for 'Red Chimney' can only be done in the afternoon."

Since Klein sneered that the fraudster Lanerus was associated with the Aurora Society after the last raid on Ms. D's stronghold, the 10,000-pound criminal has been escalated to a suspect involved in extraordinary events, and the night watchmen can intervene.

In their previous investigations, they had uncovered some clues and were taking turns monitoring an insane asylum, where a patient was said to have had a lot of contact with Laneus before he went insane.

As she was not involved in the mission, Angel was unclear about the details, and she was more concerned about the investigation report of the "red chimney" she bought for 30 pounds. After more than half a month of searching, the two have basically eliminated the buildings in the city of Tingen, and the next step of exploration is to move towards the suburbs of Tingen.

After making an appointment with Klein, Angel left the Black Thorn Security Company, and for her, who is not on duty today, it is already a "late return" to get off work.

Fortunately, there was no one waiting for me to come home......

Angel smiled wryly and summoned a hired carriage, and instead of immediately returning to Daffodil Street, she first rode to the Evil Dragon Bar in the docks, where she bought a lot of materials for making special ammunition in the underground market, and almost spent all the cash on her.

Then she returned to Daffodil Street with a wooden box.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Mr. Benson?"

Getting out of the hired carriage, Angel was about to go home, only to find a man jumping out of the public carriage next to him, wearing a vest and shirt, holding a document bag in one hand and a coat in the other, with a receding hairline and a tired face.

Hearing someone call him, Benson looked over curiously and realized that it was the female colleague of his brother Klein.

"Good evening, Miss Granger," he said, pouting as he looked at the van as it was about to leave, "there are more and more companies that don't let their employees leave work on time. ”

"Fortunately, the salary is rich enough, so you can only endure such a trivial matter."

Angel replied with a smile, and the two walked side by side across the street, stopping at 2 Daffodil Street, in front of Moretti's house.

"And I have to clarify, I actually got off work at seven o'clock today, and the reason I came back so late was because ......," she said, carrying the wooden box in her hand, "I went to the docks to buy something." ”

Benson nodded knowingly: "I also just came back from the docks, and I could have done these things before five o'clock in the afternoon, but our inefficient boss ......"

Klein ...... Benson? ”

Benson's complaint to his boss was interrupted by a clear shout, and a young face flashed through the bulging window facing the street, and then the door to Moretti's house opened, and Melissa poked her head out.

"I thought it was Klein back."

"You're too favoritous, sister."

Leaning towards the door, keeping himself under the overflowing light of the room, Benson said with a feigned displeasure.

"That's because it's become the norm for you to work overtime, and it doesn't surprise me to come home late, and if I see you at home after school one day, I wonder if you're unemployed."

Melissa said unceremoniously.

Watching the brother and sister bickering back and forth, Angel smiled with some envy.

"Miss Angel, I happened to meet you today, I was going to ask you about it," Melissa chatted with Benson for a few words, and then looked over here, "We plan to hire a handyman, preferably one who is good at cooking, do you have any recommendations?" ”

Handyman maid, but also good at cooking?

Angel almost blurted out that she should hire a maid and a cook separately, but on second thought, with the Klein family's income, it is unlikely that they could hire both, so they had to choose a "versatile" one.

By the way, Trommy seems to have said that he would cook some simple dishes......

She thought of Trommy, the female worker who helped her house clean and do the laundry.

"If you're not too demanding on cooking......"

Angel will own the female worker ...... Well, it can only be regarded as half of her own female worker, Tromi, introduced to Melissa and Benson.

"But she's already working in your house, if we hire her......" Melissa was still a little hesitant, as if she was worried that hiring Angel's female worker would be tantamount to throwing her own problems to the other party.

"I think we can hire them together, after all, my house only needs simple cleaning and laundry, and you don't need a maid on call all day. This way, although Trommy will be a little more tired than it is now, his income will be higher, and we will not need to pay the full employment fee on our own. ”

Angel thought of a solution that would have the best of both worlds.

This will undoubtedly increase the workload of the female worker, Trommi, but it is actually better for her than she is now going back and forth between multiple employers every day, fixing two adjacent employers, and even providing food and shelter.

While Melissa was still frowning and thinking, Benson had already nodded in agreement.

"I think Miss Granger's plan is very suitable, and all that needs to be discussed carefully is the price," he nodded at Melissa, stopping his sister from continuing to speak, "if it's convenient, let her come to our house tomorrow evening to try some chores?" ”

As the two continued to hammer out the details, a hired carriage drove slowly past and stopped on the side of the road.

Crane stepped out of the carriage with a tired face, and before he could take two steps, he found Angel and the three of them standing on the side of the road, first stunned, and then quickly stepped forward to the door of his house.

"Crane, I didn't expect you to be the last one to come back."

The sharp-eyed Melissa spotted him first.

"I didn't expect me to be later than Benson," Klein squeezed out a smile before looking at Angel, "Angel, did you just come back too?" ”

"Yes, I met Mr. Benson and had a few conversations, and I wondered how I got home before you after I made a circle around the docks."

Angel noticed that Crane was even more tired than he had said goodbye before, apparently not for the time he had lost resting at Blackthorn Security, but for somewhere else.

"I went to Mr. Azik's house and asked a few questions, and he planned to leave Tingen tomorrow and go to Beckland."

Recalling the bronzed-skinned university teacher, Angel asked suspiciously:

"Didn't he just come back from vacation?"

"He's got something left in Beckland, and he's going to take some time to get it back."

Klein replied, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Something falls on Beckland, do you need to go there in person? And hearing him say this, it seems that he will have to leave for a long time......

Angel didn't think about it, just nodded in understanding.

Now that Klein has returned, she is not ready to continue to bother the Moretti family, and is about to leave after saying goodbye casually, but Melissa stops her.

"Miss Angel, are you free this weekend?"

"I'm on duty this Sunday, do you need my help?"

Melissa smiled happily when she heard this, she gave a quick glance at Klein, and then said, "This weekend, there is an event to celebrate the completion of the new park at the Street Park on Red Moon Street in the North Side - not far from St. Selena Church, and Benson and I are closed on Sunday, well, Klein too, so ......"

She looked at Angel expectantly.

The latter looked at Klein and saw that he was dazed, apparently not knowing his sister's arrangements in advance.

Unwilling to live up to Melissa's "well-designed", Angel nodded.
