Chapter 120: Meeting Again

The regular main business of the Lucky Southern Cross Club is the collection and appreciation of alcoholic beverages, and there will be an illegal Luo De Pai casino at night. According to Miss Miss Beiyasi, the Orthodox Church and Ridwich Yard conducted a joint search here yesterday afternoon, but found no clues.

Forced by the connection between this club and the great nobles, a comprehensive search was the limit. And as a newcomer to the police department, she believed she had some special investigation abilities and might be able to obtain clues.

Xia De guessed that Miss Miss Beiyasi might have some miracles related to investigation, which made him think of his own spell "Echo of Blood", which he had used in the club last time.

He knew Miss Miss Beiyasi's true identity and didn't understand why the other party took the initiative to investigate like this. The young girl didn't look like someone who coveted credit, so he could only temporarily think that she had other connections with 【Mercury Blood】.

Miss Miss Beiyasi is a newcomer to the "Police Department". No one here knows her identity, so the two can walk directly into the club. The identity they pretended to be was a young businessman who came to buy famous wine for entertaining distinguished guests. Therefore, after receiving a warm reception, they were led by the club's maid to the reception room on the second floor to wait.

"Detective, you are responsible for holding back the people in the club and negotiating business with him. I will make an excuse to go to the washroom and conduct reconnaissance activities. This is your entire task, I think it should be no problem."

Taking advantage of the time before the manager on duty today came with the wine picture book, Miss Miss Beiyasi explained to Xia De. Xia De had very few opinions on this simple plan:

"Holding him back is no problem. Since you are the employer, of course everything listens to you. But I don't understand wine, so it's hard to avoid revealing any flaws."

"It doesn't matter, you just need to find an excuse to hold him back."

Miss Miss Beiyasi shook her handbag:

"I hired you, so you naturally have to exert value. The longer the time, the more remuneration I pay. At least hold him for 20 minutes, and don't let him suspect me leaving the room."

"I'm not even sure I can do it."

"It doesn't matter, even if the identity is exposed, it won't let you go to jail."

Miss Miss Beiyasi patted Xia De on the shoulder. She looked very confident.

The decoration taste of the reception room is quite good. All the furniture is dark brown solid wood products, and half of the floor in the room is covered with red carpet. Xia De suspected that it was wool.

Soon someone pushed the door in. It was a man wearing a black suit, with a serious face and holding a red book...

"It's you?"

The man who entered the door recognized Xia De at the first time, and Xia De also recognized the other party at the first time. The other party was none other than Mr. Nit, whom he discovered as a lurking detective the night he came here to pick up little Franklin.

Such a meeting again was completely beyond Xia De's expectation. The other party knew his identity was not a rich businessman buying wine.

But fortunately, when he agreed to Miss Miss Beiyasi's commission, Xia De was prepared. He originally didn't want to mix the two things together, so he agreed to pretend to be a businessman, but now that he has been exposed, he doesn't care about those small things.

His mind was more active than ever at this moment. His face changed from relaxed to serious, and Xia De lowered his voice and spoke first:

"It's really not easy to see you."

"Hmm?"

Mr. Nit and Miss Miss Beiyasi both asked questions. Only then did the latter see that the two knew each other.

"Detective, what are you doing here again?"

Mr. Nit asked, looking at the attire of the two in the room:

"This time it shouldn't be to pick someone up, right? The casino doesn't open during the day."

"Of course not, I want to see 'that lady'."

He said, taking out his notebook and pulling out three Luo De Pai cards from it:

"I heard last time that that lady is also collecting Luo De Pai, and I happen to have some good ones in my hand. I have already written a letter to inform that I will come this evening... oh, the time seems a bit early. It doesn't matter, if that lady is not here, I can wait a little bit."

"That lady" told Xia De in the letter not to say that she was looking for him, so Xia De made up a reason casually. As for why he pretended to be a merchant buying wine to find that lady, Xia De didn't mention it, but Mr. Nit didn't care either, because as soon as "that lady" was mentioned, Mr. Nit suddenly became nervous:

"You want to see that lady? No problem, I will go upstairs to ask if the distinguished lady is willing to see you now."

"Hmm?"

Now it was Xia De's turn to be surprised. He didn't know that the other party was actually here now. The meeting time agreed by the two was two hours later.

"But it doesn't seem to matter. She originally wanted to see me, I can use this excuse later."

Gradually settling down in his heart, he squinted at Miss Miss Beiyasi, who was confused by the conversation just now:

"This is my female companion. I think 'that lady' shouldn't want to see strangers. Please find a room for her to rest, and don't disturb her."

Deliberately reaching out and patting the shoulder of the brown-haired girl, showing the intimacy between the two.

Mr. Nit didn't doubt it either:

"Of course, since it is your female companion, it is naturally a distinguished guest of the club."

Subsequently, he found a maid in the corridor, arranged another reception room for the two, and instructed that after tea and snacks were sent, no one could disturb the guests.

Mr. Nit went to the third floor to ask the maid about the situation while the maids were preparing tea and snacks. He was not qualified to see that lady, and even not qualified to knock on the door.

Soon, Mr. Nit brought the answer that Xia De could go upstairs, without giving Miss Miss Beiyasi and the detective any chance for private conversation.

Before the two separated, Xia De pretended to tidy up the folds of his clothes after standing up, and quietly gave the young female Shushi of the Orthodox Church a wink, signaling the other party to be careful.

But Miss Miss Beiyasi obviously misunderstood, because she actually quietly gave Xia De a thumbs up, which is also a way to praise people in this world.

"After the matter is over, I will definitely ask for a large reward."

He went to the third floor under the guidance of the familiar fat maid with this thought.

It was still the room with a whole wall of bookshelves, and it was still talking to the lady in the room through the door. Only this time Xia De was allowed to sit down in the study, and the maid also prepared tea and snacks for him.

The indoor temperature was normal, and there was nothing strange on the coffee table. Presumably, this meeting would be all normal.

"You did well at Lakeview Manor."

After the fat maid closed the door from the outside, "that lady" opened her mouth with this sentence.

Since the other party helped the group of five escape suspicion, it is impossible not to know that they were on the third floor at that time. It's just that Xia De is not sure whether the other party knows that the "masked man under the silver moon" is him.

"Speaking of which, the agreed time was to meet in the evening. I appeared here for other things. Then you appeared in advance, is this some coincidence?"

The woman asked. Judging from the normal temperature in the room, her mood today should be quite good. ===== CHAPTER 121 =====
