Chapter 117 Named police officers and crappy detectives
Because I only went to the newspaper office to place the advertisement in the morning, I didn’t expect any customers to come to the door in the afternoon. Shade thought there was nothing important today. He only needed to go to the Prophet Association to appraise the [Origin·Silver Moon] again tomorrow. There would be nothing major this week.
So he spent his afternoon reading and translating.
Shade thought that he was quite diligent, and the napping cat was conscious enough not to disturb him.
But this leisurely afternoon was soon ruined by the sound of the bell downstairs at half past one. The sleepy cat suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and Shade also got up in confusion and tidied up those sensitive animals.
textbook:
"It's really strange. Who could come to me? Could it be that he's coming to see Detective Sparrow again?"
Looking down from the window of the living room, due to the angle and the rain eaves at the door, the visitor cannot be seen. Go down the stairs and open the door. When you open the door, you see a young girl with long brown hair.
Standing in front of Shade's house, a young girl with long brown hair who was probably less than 18 years old was wearing a white ruffled collared shirt with two rows of silver decorative buttons on the chest, and a brown vest outside.
Buttoned, it is a very smart summer dress.
She wore a black silk scarf around her neck, a brown checkered handbag in her hand, and a small gold ring on her right hand. She wore a very simple skirt on her lower body, with the hem just above her feet wearing black leather shoes.
Although women wearing pants have appeared in this era, ladies still mainly wear skirts.
She stood in front of Shade's house, and Shade once again had the illusion that all the light in the world seemed to be shining on her.
Shade's face suddenly froze. It was Miss Iluna Bayas from the Church of the Sun. She was considered "one of the thirteen chosen ones" by Miss Anat and was considered "the protagonist of destiny" by the woman in her head.
Girl.
[It’s not what I think, it’s what you think.]
She said softly.
Last time, Miss Anat said that she tried to pretend to be a prophet to contact Miss Bayas, but she did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to appear in front of Shade.
"No, Miss Anat is originally a prophet, that's not a pretense."
Shade reminded himself, and then thought about Miss Anat's instructions at that time, just pretend to be an ordinary detective in front of Miss Bayas.
"Is that Detective Hamilton?"
Seeing that Shade had only opened the door a crack and held on to the door without completely pushing it open, the girl outside the door asked, looking at the detective's expression. This was the first time that Shade heard Miss Bayas speak, and her voice
It's very crisp, and has a bit more of a girlish youthful feel than Miss Louisa and Miss Anat.
"Why would she come to me...what happened to me?"
Xia De thought in his mind, but he didn't forget to answer:
"Yes, this is the Hamilton Detective Agency... Good afternoon, ma'am, huh? Have we met before?"
Hearing this question, Miss Bayas blinked but did not answer. After all, the last time they met at Lakeview Manor, she was the captain of the ring warlock team, but Shade had forgotten their encounter, and now it is probably just a remnant.
memory.
She then introduced herself:
"Mr. Hamilton, good afternoon. I am Iluna Bayas, an employee of Blackstone Security Company, but I am also a nominal police officer employed by the Radwich Field in Tobesk City. I am here today to ask you
Here is some information about Mr. Lawrence’s mistress, Lady Lassoya. Recently, for the ribbon-cutting of Queen Diana, Ledwich Field was short of manpower, so I came. This is Blackstone Security and Ledwich Field
We hope to cooperate with you on official business."
"Ridwich Field" is the name of the Tobesk City Police Department, which is responsible for managing the security of the entire city of Tobesk, the capital of the Kingdom of Dralyon, and the surrounding areas. Together with the Yodel Palace and the Tobesk branch of the Prophet Association,
Located on Silver Cross Avenue.
The "nominee police officer", like the so-called "detective consultant" and other titles, is the official identity that can be obtained by the security companies or detectives who cooperate with Ridwich Field. After all, the police also have limited funds and are always short of manpower.
.It would be much easier for private security companies and crappy detectives like Shade to do things if they had official identities.
Since Miss Bayas claimed to be a police officer at Ridwich Field and an employee of the security company, Shade understood how the ring magicians of the Orthodox Church cooperated with the kingdom officials.
This is really efficient and convenient for hiding your identity.
"Okay, Miss Bayas, I will cooperate."
He nodded hesitantly, maintaining his normal detective character, and then made way for Miss Bayas to come in. Mia the cat was originally following Shade, but because she was a little afraid of strangers, she left behind.
Shade ran up the stairs first.
When they went upstairs, Xia De was still sighing at the other party's youth and how, as a woman, she could become a police officer in the police department.
"Detective, do you think women don't have this ability?"
Miss Bayas asked casually while looking at the blocked passage on the first floor. Of course Shade denied:
"Of course not, Miss Bayas, I have always believed that women are also an important force in social production. It's just that you are too young."
Miss Bayas, who had probably not conducted several missions independently, then remembered to take out her ID and show it to the detective, thinking that the detective was doubting her identity by saying she was "young".
Because there were some sensitive things in the study, Shade entertained Miss Bayas in the living room. He still used the very good black tea left by the previous detective to entertain the guests. After thanking the detective, Miss Bayas also praised the detective.
The taste is very good.
She looked at the interior decoration of the detective agency. After the two parties sat down, they started talking about business:
"Detective Hamilton, I don't know if you know that Mrs. Lasoya, whom your uncle Detective Sparrow Hamilton once investigated, is now listed as a wanted fugitive in Ridwich Field."
"You mean Mr. Lawrence's mistress? How come? When I saw my client, Mrs. Lawrence, last week, I had not heard her say anything about this matter."
Shade pretended to be surprised:
"I have also met Mrs. Lasoya, but I never thought that such a noble lady could 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 and not even a scum is left. But Shade knows that the girl opposite also knows, and he also knows that the girl opposite does not know that he knows, so this is
It provides great convenience for Shade's disguise.
