Chapter 194: Infiltration
"Mrs. Sharon?" Dunn clearly knew the widow of Baron Hoy, the most famous courtesan in the city of Tingen.
Councillor Maynard's wife glanced sideways at the thin lady who had accompanied her to Blackbra Security, but did not speak.
The thin lady in the same black dress and black hat considered the following:
"Yes, Lady Sharon, the wife of the old baron who died in the Hoy family, she, she ......"
After stammering for a few seconds, the thin lady suddenly blurted out angrily:
"She's a bitch!"
Hearing this foul language, Klein suddenly recalled the "little dirt" he saw and Mrs. Sharon's seemingly cowardly but calm performance at that time, which made him a little convinced of the relevant rumors, and silently sympathized with the deceased old baron in his heart:
It's not that Mrs. Sharon can't remarry, but this messy approach ...... Well, there is a green meadow in front of the old baron's grave......
Dunn did not change his expression, sat down on the sofa opposite, and said in a mellow voice:
"But it has nothing to do with whether she is a criminal or not. β
"You know, and I know, that Madame Sharon is very influential in the city of Tingen, and it is easy to cause unsolvable problems and very bad consequences by following her and monitoring her. β
"She's a criminal!" said the thin lady resentfully, "she caused my brother's death, but her mistresses put a lot of pressure on the police department to come to the conclusion that my brother died suddenly because of excessive drinking and continuous indulgence, they, they are all criminals!"
Those...... Klein sympathized with the old baron for another second, and figured out the identity of the thin lady, who was the sister of Councilman Maynard.
Also, this kind of thing involving a scandal will definitely not bring a maid up, or can your family rest assured...... He nodded abruptly.
Mrs. Maynard patted the back of the thin lady's hand, and added in a low and cold voice:
"She's a criminal!"
"If you suffer damage as a result, I will help you solve it and make up for your losses. β
This tone ...... is worthy of being the daughter of a New Party boss...... If it weren't for the fact that the police department was very confident in the results of my psychics, I am afraid that I would have succumbed to her pressure...... Klein sneered.
Dunn said silently for more than ten seconds:
"Okay...... I have one more question, you seem pretty sure we can find out something?"
The thin lady nodded:
"We were introduced by Victor, a tobacco merchant, who praised you for being the best in the industry, capable of doing things that no one else could do. β
Tobacco merchant Victor ...... Who is this? Klein subconsciously looked at the captain, only to find that Dunn Smith's eyes were also full of doubt.
I'm so stupid, why would I expect the captain to remember such a thing...... After all, I don't even remember it myself...... He sighed to himself.
Seeing that the two elite "mercenaries" looked puzzled, the thin lady added:
"You saved his kidnapped son. β
It turned out to be him...... That kidnapping case led me to the clues to the Antigonus family notes...... Klein was stunned.
Dunn also nodded slightly:
"I see. β
Seeing this, the thin lady prescribed the conditions:
"You follow and monitor that, that bitch for two weeks, and even if you don't find any evidence of her crime, keep a record of who came to her house and whose house she went to, and we'll pay 50 gold pounds for that. β
"And if you can find evidence of her crime, or clues, we'll pay an extra Β£200. β
That's a lot of money...... Klein suddenly thought that he had spent only seven pounds to have Detective Henry collect so much information about the Red Chimney House, and he was a little ashamed for a moment.
Dunn thought for a moment and said:
"There is no problem, we can sign the contract now. β
"You need to pay Β£20 upfront. β
Captain, manpower has been very tight lately, and there is a big case of Lanlius...... Klein didn't expect Dunn Smith to agree to the mission, although he was a little tempted.
Lady Maynard bowed her head lightly and said:
"No problem. β
"I believe in you, and please don't let me down. β
Dunn smiled and didn't speak, turned to Roshan and said:
"You go and draw up a contract. β
After the contract was signed, the deposit was accepted, and Mrs. Maynard and the thin lady left the Black Thorn Security Company, Dunn looked sideways at Klein and said:
"This task is up to you. β
"Huh?" Crane looked dazed.
Dunn smiled and said:
"Aren't you going to learn the art of tracking and surveillance? It's a great opportunity to practice, and it just so happens that the part of the Lanrius case that you're responsible for is over. β
"Okay......" Klein didn't refuse.
As soon as he agreed, his mind began to spin rapidly:
According to the rules, half of the mission remuneration must be given to Mrs. Oriana, to the team treasury, and the rest to be divided equally among the participating team members, and this time it seems that I am the only one who has taken over the commission......
Regardless of whether the investigation is successful or not, there is a guaranteed income of 25 pounds, and his own salary is still paid...... If you can find some clues, you can get a full 125 pounds!
Captain is wise!
Dunn glanced at him and said:
"You go to Leonard and Frye in the morning to learn the tricks of tracking and monitoring, and the martial arts classes in the afternoon are suspended, and they are all suspended for the whole week, eh...... I think you're pretty much in the right place, and I'll send someone to inform Gawain. β
Finding Leonard and Frye to learn the skills of tracking and surveillance? How do you feel a little unreliable...... Klein was stunned for a moment, in his heart, the only way Leonard would use was to play the Ferneport, sing beautiful poetry, seduce Mrs. Sharon to bed, and follow and monitor at close range, and Frye's temperament is very special, cold and gloomy, which makes him look at others no matter where he is, how can people with this image be tracked and monitored?
In the midst of his thoughts, Klein replied earnestly:
"Okay. β
Dunn bowed his head lightly and walked towards the partition, and suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and hesitated:
"Do you remember the tobacco merchant, what was the kidnapping?"
...... It turns out that the captain didn't remember anything just now, and you didn't understand anything...... Why can you pretend to be so calm and confident!, Crane reached out and covered his face.
............
According to Leonard's teachings, Klein was in no hurry to follow Mrs. Sharon, even though he knew that she lived on Olsna Street in the East End.
"It's very easy to follow the target without knowing the rules of action, and it's hard to see everything with a single person's monitoring, unless you don't eat, drink, sleep or go home. These were Leonard's exact words, so Crane followed his instructions and went to the Hound Tavern, found a certain gang leader, and asked him to send his men to monitor Lady Sharon in turn and record her daily movements.
Fortunately, this is reimbursable...... How does it feel like you're subcontracting on a layer...... On Friday afternoon, Klein got the investigative report from the gang leader.
This is an investigation report, which is obviously an insult to those professional private investigators, none of the gang leader's subordinates know the words, and they rely on pictures and symbols instead, and then they are sorted out and explained by the semi-literate boss who has only studied Sunday school for a year, and it took Klein a pang of pain in his head to read it for a long time.
"According to surveillance, Mrs. Sharon has rarely gone out lately and has rarely had guests visiting...... It was supposed to be influenced by the death of Congressman Maynard...... Those gang members are quite capable, and they actually hooked up with Mrs. Sharon's maid...... Well, she's going to the city's Conservative Party dinner tonight, maybe going home late, maybe not going back...... It's an opportunity to practice. Klein quickly made up his mind that he was going to sneak into Mrs. Sharon's house tonight and quietly search it.
With the end of the Lanerus case, the suspension of martial arts classes, and the end of the "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane" Ziringus incident, Klein has only two things left to do recently, one is to check the Red Chimney House, and the other is to track and monitor Mrs. Sharron, so he is relatively idle.
- Two days ago, he had already received a reply from Mr. Azik, with only one sentence on it:
"I got 'Wriggling Hunger' and I recalled a few things. β
This made Klein finally sure that Zielingers was killed by Mr. Azik, and finally determined that the amnesiac instructor with a long life was a high-order powerhouse, but he didn't dare to ask what the other party recalled with the help of "wriggling hunger", because Azik obviously didn't want to say itβif he was willing to share it, he would describe it directly in the letter.
In reply, in addition to greetings, Crane only reminds Mr. Azik that the "wriggling hunger" will thirst for the flesh and soul of the living, and must find a safe way to seal it.
In addition, "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" still haven't prayed to him yet, but Crane is no longer worried, and understands that the two members are concerned about the possible surveillance, regardless of reciting the honorific name.
............
At night, on Olsna Street, gas street lamps illuminate the flat road, and the crimson moon hangs high.
Klein, who sneaked out of the house, quietly climbed over the walls of Mrs. Sharon's house with the help of the balance and agility of the "Joker".
Walking through the garden to the side of the house, he climbed the water pipe and stumbled into the balcony on the second floor.
This is an alternative to making history for Crane, who never succeeded in climbing trees as a child.
Pulling a tarot card from the pocket of his black trench coat, Klein inserted it into the crack of the balcony door, flicking the latch open.
"The servants are careless...... I didn't even have an extra lock, or I would have tried to climb through the window......" Crane whispered silently and flashed into the room.
According to the information provided by the gang leader, he easily found Mrs. Sharon's bedroom, twisted the handle, and sneaked in lightly.
Carefully closing the door, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, reminiscent of the faint fragrance of women.
Klein was in a trance, and even felt a little reaction in his body.
He immediately calmed down in a meditative way, and secretly complained:
"You're using incense, aren't you?"
