CHAPTER XXIX

Early Tuesday morning, Klein, who slept until he woke up naturally, prepared himself two slices of toast, a piece of butter, a serving of bacon and a cup of coffee, and leisurely read the newspaper while having breakfast. β—’ With * dream * small β—’.1a

With the terrible spell of "Filthy Words", he felt a lot more relieved, and he was no longer as tense as before.

Whoa, Klein finished flipping through the "Beckland Post", picked up the "Tassock Newspaper", and saw a piece of news on the second page:

"At two o'clock in the morning today, there was a fierce shootout in Red Brick Lane in the East End, which, according to the police, may have involved a clash between two gangs, one of which is the notorious Zmange party. ”

Zmanga Party...... Red Brick Lane, Eastern District...... Crane had an idea, left the table, and found a map of Beckland.

He only glanced at it, and saw that Red Brick Lane was not far from White Rum Street, and that Ian Wright had been haunting the telegraph office on White Rum Street.

Red Brick Alley is where Ian Wright is hiding, and it is the military's special services and Intis intelligence officers who are engaged in a fierce clash of words...... Klein picks up the last bacon, puts it in his mouth, and chews slowly.

He only "told" the two sides about the divination early yesterday morning, and they locked Ian's location that night, which was not inefficient.

Taking a sip of coffee, Klein put down the newspaper and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he heard the doorbell jingle and reverberate.

"Who?" Klein wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked to the door in confusion.

Is it a new commission? I've been out and about for the past few days for the sake of Ambassador Intis, and I don't know how many commissions I have missed and how many potential clients I have lost...... What a waste of my advertising money...... If this continues, my finances will be stretched...... Crane thought a lot at once, and reached out to open the door.

Outside stood two ladies, one was Mrs. Summer, dressed in her morning gown, rather formal, with delicate make-up painted on her face, more delicate than at home, and no one could tell that she was about thirty, and the other wore a wide-brimmed hat with a fine black gauze hanging down, and her dress was darker and more fluffy.

"Detective Moriarty, I have friends who would like your help. Starlene Summerr clutched her gauze hat in her hand, and there was no smile in her blue eyes.

"Please come in. Crane pointed to the living room area, and took the opportunity to turn around to fasten the top button of his shirt and straighten the black vest.

Starlene bowed her head slightly, did not speak again, and led the lady with a black veil into the room.

She was so familiar with the place that she easily found the couch and sat down without Klein's reminder.

Klein was about to ask immediately, but after thinking about Starlene Summer's style, he asked with a smile:

"Coffee, or black tea?"

In his eyes, Mrs. Summerer was a lady who sought quality of life and a sense of superiority everywhere.

"No, you don't. Another lady took off her wide-brimmed hat with a fine-checked black gauze.

Her facial features look good on their own, but they are disappointing when combined, and in addition, her cheekbones are too high, and she looks much older than her actual age.

A little anger, a little sadness, a little wandering, a little fear...... Klein read the woman's emotions.

It's not that he suddenly has the ability to be an audience, it's that the other party is too obvious.

"Yes, neither coffee nor black tea can make things work out. Starlene tried to sit a little more temperamentally, learning the posture of the magazine, "this is Mrs. Mary Gale, a shareholder in the Coim Company. ”

"Mrs. Gale, what do you want to entrust?" Klein sat down on the couch, leaning forward slightly, his arms resting on his laps.

"Don't call me Mrs. Gale, just call me Mary. Mary Gale pursed her lips and said, "I want you to follow my husband to see if he has a mistress, and preferably with substantial evidence." ”

Because of the active promotion of the Church of the Goddess of the Night for many years, the Kingdom of Rune is more radical in marriage law than in countries such as Vrsack, Intis, and Lemburg, stipulating that those who betray their marriage must pay a monetary price for it, that is, they will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of property division.

I heard that at least four out of ten commissions of other private investigators were to investigate extramarital affairs...... I didn't expect to meet ...... too Klein pondered and said:

"Solid evidence is not easy to obtain. ”

"I'll lend you a state-of-the-art portable camera first. Mary replied without hesitation, "I will pay you ten pounds as long as you can get the evidence, and only pounds if it is simply to confirm whether you have a mistress." ”

Do you mean a so-called portable camera that is two-thirds the size of my head? 10 pounds, that's not a lot of money...... Klein has recently focused on entrepreneurship and knows a thing or two about the latest cameras.

He hesitated for two seconds and said:

"Okay. ”

"But you have to provide details of your husband, as well as his regularity. ”

β€œ...... No problem!" Mary paused for a second, then plucked up all her strength.

"Thank you for your help, I hope you don't tell anyone about it. Starlene admonished.

Hearing this, Klein suddenly sighed and said:

"I'm a very confidential person, and I often get in trouble about it. ”

............

In the hall of Count Wolfe's house, men and women danced to the melody played by the violin.

Audrey was holding a glass of champagne with a pale gold color when she "accidentally" ran into the Ambassador of the Republic of Antis to Runne, BΓ©cron Jean Martin.

"You are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. Beckron, whose face was thin and had a little stubble, politely kissed the back of Audrey's white-gauze gloved hand, his eyes warm and bold.

Audrey rolled her eyes and chuckled:

"Is this Intis's style of speaking?"

"Yes, we never skimp on compliments on beautiful things. Beckron smiled, "If it weren't for the ethos of the Kingdom of Rune, I might have called you my angel." ”

Old pervert ...... Audrey kept an elegant smile and said:

"It's true that the Runnes and the Intis are not the same. ”

"Oh, this reminds me of a joke, please allow me to be presumptuous. Beckron narrowed his eyes and said, "After spending a good time with a beautiful girl, most Rune men will say, Oh dear, I want to smoke a cigarette, and most Intis men will say ......"

He paused deliberately, Audrey tilted her head slightly, endured her nausea, and pretended to be ignorant and asked:

"What will you say?"

"Most Intis men would say, oh baby, I've got to go back and not be found by my wife. Beckron raised his glass and laughed.

β€œ...... People who can hack themselves always have an extra charm. Audrey smiled politely.

Her beautiful crystal green eyes suddenly looked behind Ambassador Bakerron:

"I'm sorry, but a friend came to me. ”

"It's a pleasure to talk to you. Beckron bowed and stepped aside.

Audrey walked gracefully without looking back.

Just as she was thinking about who she was going to use as the object of her excuse, a young gentleman leaned over and reminded in a low voice:

"Audrey, don't be fooled by that Ambassador Beckron, he's an old whore! ”

Beckron's lust for beauty, which is consistent with what I observed...... This is a weakness...... Audrey rolled her eyes and smiled, not hiding her disgust:

"Conse, do you have any misunderstanding of me? Goddess, how can I be bewitched by that Ambassador Bekron? The perfume he wore made me want to vomit, his words were so filthy, and his taste was like that of a male peacock. ”

Conse is the youngest son of Viscount Learson, and their family has a very good relationship with the Hall family.

According to Audrey, after graduating from the University of Tingen, Cons entered MI9 and became mysterious.

Her original plan was to chat with Ambassador Beckron for a while, make a close observation, and then, under the pretext of being angry with the other party, ask Cons and other friends who had stepped into the intelligence community to inquire for more information.

"Your feelings are not wrong. Conse smiled heartily, looked around, and whispered, "Besides, Beck is a very dangerous fellow. ”

"How dangerous is it?" asked Audrey, curious.

"You've heard of the Extraordinary, right? I know you've always been interested in this. Constance said thoughtfully.

Audrey nodded lightly:

"I know a lot, most of it from Greinte. ”

Constance glanced at Bekron, who was chatting with a noble lady, and said with a solemn expression:

"He's Intis's intelligence chief in the kingdom, and he's done a lot of bad things, but we haven't been able to get any useful evidence, and he belongs to Sequence 6, 'The Conspirator'. ”

He didn't talk too much about Audrey, an outsider, and didn't mention that "conspirators" belong to the "hunter" path.

However, Audrey had already understood this, and pretended to be naΓ―ve and sighed:

"He's amazing!"

"He also secretly has an assistant, maybe up to Sequence 5, and besides, all the intelligence agents in the kingdom of Intis are under his control, and there are quite a few extraordinary people in it, but unfortunately, we only have a few ...... at the moment," Constance briefly mentioned, "Even if Beckron compliments you, you should not be happy, this is not his real idea, he just wants to get more information through this." ”

I don't like to hear you that much...... Audrey glanced up at the ornate chandelier and thought for a few seconds:

"Is Beck Clever? You never got his proof......

"He's really good at plotting conspiracies, but he also has a lot of problems, he likes to chase ladies, he likes romantic feelings, he does things riskily, he's quite aggressive, and if it weren't for the fact that being an ambassador makes it impossible for us to carry out a lot of operations, he would have been arrested a long time ago. Conse pursed his lips and said, "However, he will be replaced soon, soon." ”

"Why?" asked Audrey, surprised.

"Dear beautiful young lady, this is not something you should know. Conse insisted on confidentiality.

As the ball drew to a close, Audrey, who had gathered a lot of information, approached Viscount Glerint and asked him to help contact Hugh and Forthth.
