Chapter 123: The King's Aunt

Xia De stood up and bowed slightly to the half-open door, and then left the room following the black-haired maid named "Tifa".

The maid didn't intend to chat with Xia De. The two walked silently to find Mr. Nit waiting at the stairs on the second floor. The maid said directly to him:

"Give this gentleman 30 Jin Bang, in cash."

After getting the nervous man's answer, the maid turned and returned upstairs. Mr. Nit bowed slightly, and didn't dare to straighten up until the maid left here completely. Xia De wanted to ask him what kind of noble "Miss Galina" was, but seeing him like this, he didn't ask.

Mr. Nit led Xia De directly to the club's accounting room, and squatted down in front of that brass-colored safe. Rotating a total of three sets of eighteen small gears, he opened the safe and took money for Xia De.

It should have been 30 Jin Bang, but Mr. Nit gave Xia De 50 Jin Bang. Although the number 20 is small, the Outsider who has been in this world for two weeks clearly knows the purchasing power of this money.

"There is no receipt to reimburse this time."

Xia De reminded immediately, but the latter shook his head:

"This is a little bit of the club's heart. You... come and go in the club at will in the future, you will always be welcome here."

He probably realized something from the action of Miss Galina's personal maid leading Xia De to get money personally.

Xia De asked curiously again:

"I know that lady is not the owner of this club, just occasionally comes here, then you give her 50 Jin Bang, is it considered borrowing?"

"Borrowing?"

Mr. Nit looked at Xia De in surprise, as if he had heard an incredible word:

"That lady is willing to visit us, it is our honor. She asks us for money, it is simply like an angel bestowing blessings!"

"The status of a noble is really good."

Xia De muttered in his heart.

After getting this huge sum of money, he didn't return to his employer Miss Iluna immediately, but chatted with Mr. Nit for a while to delay time, hoping that the employer's investigation would go smoothly.

When returning to the reception room specially prepared, nearly an hour and a half had passed since Xia De left here. When pushing the door, he was worried that the brown-haired female Shushi hadn't returned. Fortunately, she was already holding a book and drinking tea in front of the coffee table.

"Please feel free."

Mr. Nit said outside the door, bowed slightly before closing the door.

Miss Miss Beiyasi immediately put down the book and wanted to speak, but the experienced and cautious detective raised his finger to signal her to be quiet. Carefully standing at the door to listen to the sound outside, and determining that Mr. Nit had gone far, he relaxed.

"Detective Hamilton, you are really reliable. Hiring you this time is really right."

Miss Miss Beiyasi praised, and Xia De sat down on the single sofa on the side, looking a bit tired:

"I think you probably misunderstood something, but I am indeed reliable."

"Didn't expect you to have such powerful social relations. Just now when I went to the washroom, people in the club would bow when they saw me."

The girl from the Church probably had never received such treatment.

"My social relations... speaking of which, do you know Miss Galina? Probably a very powerful great noble."

Miss Miss Beiyasi knew that Xia De went to see "that lady", but unlike the four people of Schneider, she didn't know "that lady" was a Ringed Shushi, so she could reveal this matter.

"Miss Galina?"

Miss Iluna Miss Beiyasi thought for a while:

"Galina is not a rare name. If it involves nobles, there are many possibilities. When I was training at Black Stone Security Company, there were special courses introducing contemporary noble families, but if there are no further conditions, it is difficult for me to know who this is."

Xia De recalled the details just now:

"A very powerful great noble, age will not exceed 30. She said she appreciates me, and her power is enough to influence the Church."

Immediately, Xia De found the distrust in the eyes of the girl opposite.

"Swear in the name of God, I absolutely didn't lie."

He said immediately, and this way of swearing was very consistent with the habits of the Church's Ringed Shushi:

"If so..."

Miss Miss Beiyasi frowned, and then looked at Xia De in surprise:

"Detective, then you really came into contact with an extraordinary noble. There is only one who meets this condition: the youngest sister of the previous Delarion King Larus II, the aunt of the contemporary King 'Fire Leaper' Larus III, Galina Cavendish who holds the title of 'Duke of Saladil'. Detective... I will absolutely not increase the cost of this commission because you have such social relations."

Xia De opened his mouth slightly. He had seen the news of this female Duke in the newspaper. Duke Galina Cavendish is a real-power Duke, and Saladil County is her fief. This female Duke went to here not long ago from her fief, supposedly to celebrate the King's birthday.

"Tobesk Morning News" and "Kingdom Morning News" reported this matter for several consecutive days. Xia De, who had just come to the world, sighed for a long time at that time.

The contemporary King Larus III is 45 years old this year, and Miss Galina's age will not exceed 30. The generation relationship of the royal family is also quite interesting.

"You are surprised? You don't even know this one?"

Miss Miss Beiyasi asked, and Xia De shook his head hurriedly:

"Just forgot to ask you, how is your investigation? Such a long time, there should be no clues, right?"

Miss Miss Beiyasi was successfully diverted by the detective. She put down the teacup with some sorrow:

"Clues were found. Something unusual happened in the third room on the left hand side of the stairs on the first floor, but I couldn't get in, there were too many people on the first floor."

This clue is consistent with the clue provided by Miss Galina. Since Miss Miss Beiyasi also investigated it, Xia De doesn't have to say it himself.

"I remember that room seems to be a reception room too, but it's just noisy because it's too close to the lobby, and only receives those unimportant guests."

He stood up and signaled Miss Miss Beiyasi to go with him:

"I still have some... face here, I think we can go in and see."

"Detective, I really didn't misread you."

The female Shushi with brown long hair stood up with a smile:

"If there is really a harvest this time, I will not be stingy with remuneration."

Xia De also smiled and reached out to cover his chest. The envelope was placed in the inner pocket of his coat, and inside was 60 Jin Bang in cash (Note). This money is enough for him to buy a good small manor in the countryside on the outskirts of Tobesk:

"Remuneration or something, we can mention it later." ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
