Chapter 119: Miss Beiyasi's Commission

~7 min read 1,302 words

Xia De calmed his mood slightly and focused on the matter at hand:

"Yes, Uncle Sparrow's diary, the agency's account book, and his investigation progress table all have records of these things."

"Please take them all out. From now on, this matter has nothing to do with you. This is very dangerous, do you understand, detective? We don't want what happened to Mrs. Lawrence to happen again."

The Church probably wants to get all the intelligence related to Mrs. Lasoya on one hand, and wants to protect the ordinary person Xia De on the other, so they would do this.

So he took the documents related to the investigation commission and spent half an hour checking them with Miss Miss Beiyasi.

The young girl was very unskilled in handling paperwork. When recording and organizing documents, she was a bit clumsy, and even almost let Xiao Miya bite a small hole in the paper of the detective's diary.

But she liked cats very much, so in the end, Miss Miss Beiyasi took care of Xiao Miya, and Xia De helped her classify and organize those documents, label and record them on the pages, and then put them together into the detective agency's document bag and handed them to her:

"After you go back, just search for the documents according to the serial number. If there is anything wrong, you can come to find me at any time."

"Detective, you are really a good person."

The girl with brown long hair said with a smile, and put the document bag together with her handbag, but had no intention of getting up from the sofa.

"Is there anything else?"

Because he was worried about destroying Miss Anate's "clever" plan, Xia De didn't want to have too much involvement with Miss Miss Beiyasi at present.

The girl with brown long hair smiled:

"The previous things were the work I needed to complete myself, but outside of work, I have some things I want to know. Since this is a detective agency, I think you can also accept my commission."

"Commission?"

Xia De was a bit surprised, but according to the identity of a normal detective, he didn't refuse immediately:

"Yes, but I need to understand the specific situation first."

Even if the other party is a Chosen One, if it is a normal commission, he can of course accept it. Before establishing contact with Miss Miss Beiyasi on Miss Anate's side, he just treated the other party as an ordinary girl.

So Miss Miss Beiyasi took out a black and white photo from her handbag, and the photo was Mr. Lawrence.

"Mr. Lawrence disappeared. The Chu... Ridwich Yard arranged for others to investigate this matter, but there was no gain. For me personally, I am actually not satisfied with the simple work now, so I want to investigate this matter again as a private individual, as a supplement to the investigation of Black Stone Security Company. But since Ridwich Yard has already been there once, for that kind of club with a background, my status as an honorary police officer will not be easy to use. So, I want to entrust you to go with me, pretending to be a wine merchant to investigate."

It is impossible for a young woman to pretend to be a wine merchant and be believed. And the reason for entrusting Xia De instead of other detectives is because this kind of thing is not suitable for involving unrelated people.

"That's it. If it's just an investigation, I think it's no problem."

Xia De said. On one hand, it is still a normal commission, and on the other hand, for the death of Mrs. Lawrence, he always wants to do something. This kind of investigation may of course have accidents, but in this world, there is no thing that does not have accidents.

"Where is the destination? Are we leaving now?"

He had already made a decision.

"Leaving now. The place where Mr. Lawrence last appeared is the Lucky Southern Cross Club. The Chu... Ridwich Yard's investigation was very thorough, but I think I still have some unique skills."

Miss Miss Beiyasi's action must be hidden from the Church, but Xia De didn't care whether this girl wanted to make some achievements or was purely curious. He just muttered a sentence in a low voice:

"How come it's Lucky Southern Cross again?"

And then changed his words:

"As an ordinary citizen, it is my honor to be able to cooperate with a young and promising investigator like you."

"This commission I will pay, Detective Hamilton. I know your detective agency always takes some small things like extramarital affairs investigations. After cooperating with me this time, if the cooperation is pleasant, I can be your information source in the police department in the future."

Miss Miss Beiyasi seemed to have thought of this paragraph long ago. Xia De looked at her in surprise, not expecting his progress to be faster than Miss Anate's.

So he stood up and asked one more question:

"This investigation shouldn't have any danger, right?"

Miss Miss Beiyasi also stood up and said confidently:

"With me, you won't be in danger, I will protect you."

Xia De didn't believe there was no danger at all, especially acting with Miss Miss Beiyasi, but this time he really wanted to go himself:

"Okay, then Miss Miss Beiyasi, do you have a gun?"

"No, honorary police officers don't have guns, but I have learned women's fighting techniques."

She also knew that this kind of statement was a bit ridiculous, and seemed to want to inform the young and ignorant detective of the power she possessed for a moment, but the female Shushi from the Orthodox Church was not so careless.

"No, I'm not asking this. I mean, since you don't have a gun, can I bring a gun?"

Although 【Gun of Kindness】 cannot be fired at will, the meaning of the gun itself lies in deterrence, especially when facing ordinary people.

"Do you have a gun? Of course you can bring it."

Miss Miss Beiyasi was very happy that he didn't tangle with the issue of "women's fighting techniques".

"I don't have a gun license."

Xia De answered truthfully.

"What does that matter? If you are found carrying a gun, just say it's my gun."

She waved her hand and said indifferently.

The Delarion Kingdom and the Karsenrik Kingdom are nominally gun-free, but it is not strict. It's just that if you are found carrying a gun on some sensitive occasions, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

But as a private detective, it is understandable to have a gun in hand, so Miss Beiyasi didn't care about Xia De's illegal possession of a gun.

"Okay, let's go."

This completely covered up all of Xia De's wrongness.

The Lucky Southern Cross Club is quite far from St. Deran Square, so the two took a carriage. Of course, this kind of expense is paid by the employer.

Mr. Lawrence, a big factory owner, visited the club because of regular business, not entering from the back door and then gambling on cards, so the two people going to the club this time don't need to enter like Xia De did last time.

In the hazy fog, after they got off the carriage, they walked directly to the front door of the club, looking at the standing triangular wooden board sign at the door, which said that the drinks in the club were 20% off today. The people in the club were very creative, connecting a branch line from the steam pipe by the wall to the sign, allowing the sign itself to spray white steam fog.

But apart from making people walk around, it didn't seem to attract too many guests. ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
