Chapter 117: Honorary Police Officer and Clumsy Detective

Because he went to the newspaper office to advertise in the morning, he didn't expect guests to come to the door in the afternoon. Xia De thought there was nothing important today, and only needed to go to the Seer Association tomorrow to re-identify 【Founding: Silver Moon】, so there was nothing major this week, so he arranged the afternoon time for reading and translation.

Xia De thought he was still diligent, and the cat sleeping at noon was also very conscious not to disturb him.

But this leisurely afternoon time was soon destroyed by the sound of the bell downstairs at 1:30. The cat, sleeping in a daze, darted up from the sofa, and Xia De also got up in confusion to tidy up those sensitive textbooks:

"It's really strange, who would come to find me? Could it be someone looking for Detective Sparrow again?"

Looking down from the window of the living room, because of the angle and the rain eaves at the door, he couldn't see the appearance of the visitor. Walking down the stairs to open the door, what he saw after opening the door was a young girl with brown long hair.

Standing at the door of Xia De's house, the young girl with brown long hair who might be less than eighteen years old was wearing a white ruffled collar shirt with two rows of silver decorative buttons on the chest, and a brown vest outside, unbuttoned, which was a very capable summer outfit.

A black silk scarf was tied at the collar, a brown plaid handbag was in her hand, and a small golden ring was worn on her right hand. She was wearing a very simple skirt, and the hem of the skirt was just above the feet wearing small black leather shoes.

Although women wearing pants had already appeared in this era, ladies still mainly wore skirts.

She stood in front of Xia De's house, and Xia De again had the illusion that all the light in the world seemed to shine on her alone.

Xia De's face stiffened. It was Miss Iluna Miss Beiyasi of the Sun Church, the girl considered by Miss Anate to be "one of the thirteen Chosen Ones", and considered by the woman in her head to be the "protagonist of fate".

【It's not me who thinks so, it's you who thinks so.】

She said in a low voice.

Last time Miss Anate said that she would try to pretend to be a seer to contact Miss Miss Beiyasi, but she didn't expect the other party to appear in front of Xia De actively.

"No, Miss Anate is a seer herself, that's not pretending."

Xia De reminded himself, and then thought that Miss Anate also instructed at that time to pretend to be an ordinary detective in front of Miss Miss Beiyasi.

"Is this Detective Hamilton?"

Seeing that Xia De only opened the door crack and grabbed the door without pushing it open completely, the girl outside the door asked, her eyes examining the detective's expression. This was the first time Xia De heard Miss Miss Beiyasi speak. Her voice was very crisp, and compared to Miss Lu Yi Sha and Miss Anate, it had a few more youthful feelings of a young girl.

"Why would she come to find me... did I get exposed?"

Xia De thought in his heart, but didn't forget to answer with his mouth:

"Yes, this is Hamilton Detective Agency... Good afternoon, lady, hmm? Have we met?"

Hearing this question, Miss Miss Beiyasi blinked but didn't answer. After all, the last time they met at Lakeview Manor, the captain of the Ringed Shushi team she was in had made Xia De forget their meeting. Now it was probably just residual memory.

She turned to introduce herself:

"Mr. Hamilton, good afternoon. I am Iluna Miss Beiyasi, an employee of Black Stone Security Company, but also an honorary police officer employed by the Tobesk Ridwich Yard. Today, I came to learn from you about the situation of Mrs. Lasoya, the mistress of Mr. Lawrence. Recently, because of the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Queen Diana, the Ridwich Yard is short of manpower, so it is me who came. This is official business of the cooperation between Black Stone Security and Ridwich Yard, hope for cooperation."

"Ridwich Yard" is the name of the Tobesk Police Department, responsible for managing the security of the entire Tobesk city and surrounding areas of the Delarion Kingdom, and is located on Silver Cross Avenue together with the Yodel Palace and the Tobesk branch of the Seer Association.

And "honorary police officer", like the title of so-called "detective consultant", is an official status that security companies or detectives cooperating with Ridwich Yard can obtain. After all, the police also have limited funds and are always short of manpower. And folk security companies and clumsy detectives like Xia De, if they have official status, things will be much more convenient.

Since Miss Miss Beiyasi claimed to be a police officer of Ridwich Yard and an employee of a security company, Xia De understood the cooperation method between the Ringed Shushi of the Orthodox Church and the Kingdom's official.

This is indeed efficient and convenient to cover up identities.

"Okay, Miss Miss Beiyasi, I will cooperate."

He nodded hesitantly, maintaining the character setting of a normal detective, and then moved away from the doorway to let Miss Miss Beiyasi in. Miya the cat originally followed behind Xia De's feet, but because it was a bit afraid of strangers, it left Xia De and darted up the stairs first.

When going upstairs, Xia De was still sighing about the other party's youth and how a woman could become a police officer in the police department.

"Detective, do you think women don't have this ability?"

Miss Miss Beiyasi asked casually while looking at the blocked passage on the first floor, and Xia De of course denied it:

"Of course not, Miss Miss Beiyasi. I have always believed that women are also an important force in social production. It's just that you are too young."

Miss Miss Beiyasi, who probably hadn't carried out many independent tasks, then remembered to take out her certificate to show the detective, thinking that the detective saying she was "young" was doubting her identity.

Because there were some sensitive things in the study, Xia De entertained Miss Miss Beiyasi in the living room. He still used the very good black tea left by the previous detective to entertain guests. Miss Miss Beiyasi thanked the detective and also praised the detective's good taste.

She looked at the interior decoration of the detective agency. After both sides sat down, they started talking about business:

"Detective Hamilton, I don't know if you know that Mrs. Lasoya, who was once investigated by your uncle Detective Sparrow Hamilton, has now been listed as a wanted criminal by Ridwich Yard."

"You mean Mr. Lawrence's mistress? How could that be? When I met the client Mrs. Lawrence last week, I hadn't heard her mention this."

Xia De pretended to be surprised:

"I have also met that Mrs. Lasoya. I didn't expect that kind of noble lady to become a wanted criminal!"

He thought the tone of this sentence might be a bit exaggerated, so he thought the next sentence should be calmer.

But in fact, the two people facing each other now know that "Mrs. Lasoya" is dead without even slag left. But Xia De knows that the girl opposite also knows, and he also knows that the girl opposite doesn't know that he knows, which provided great convenience for Xia De's disguise. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
