Seeing that it was the black-haired maid, Shade also smiled. After accepting the invitation and boarding the carriage, he realized that there was no Miss Carina in the carriage, but there were three other ladies.
One of them looks a little younger and is one of Miss Carina's personal maids, but she is an ordinary person. The other two are the sorceresses around Miss Carina, both of whom are in the Central Circle. Because they all know Xia De and Xia De.
He had a relationship with Miss Carina, so he nodded to him cautiously.
"Tifa, why are you here? Are you doing something for Miss Carina?"
This is Shade's problem.
"The lady sent me to purchase an antique. Because it is very important, I must do it..."
Tifa said, and the carriage continued to drive forward slowly:
"The Council has been searching for that antique for a long time, but it has only recently found its whereabouts. What about you? Shade, what are you here to do? Detective commission?"
"No, no, it's not a commission, it's for a stone figurine. Isn't that what you're doing too?"
Although the maid was slightly surprised, she still smiled:
"The first two are related to you. This cannot be a coincidence, so the young lady believes that one day we will find out that the third one must also be related to you. Look, you have indeed come to find this stone figurine. However,
I can't give that stone figurine to you. The lady asked me to take it back."
"I don't want that stone figurine, I just want to take a look."
"That's good, Miss, you don't need to find someone to translate. Then the emperors in the old days liked to write poems in older characters, which made translation a big trouble."
Shade once told Miss Carina that he could understand most ancient texts.
Now that Tifa has appeared, Shade has no need to infiltrate. The Duchess's methods are amazing. Tifa and her team have a real transaction document in their hands. The dead Simil Pasolo once promised to include the stone figurine.
Dozens of antiques, including those, were sold to Miss Carina. So, Shade just followed Tifa.
The carriage stopped in the middle of the street, and Shade got off the carriage first. He walked up the steps and wanted to knock on the apartment door, but as soon as he raised his hand, he heard a quarrel coming from inside.
It was a man roaring, and because he spoke too fast, and through the door panel, Shade could only hear words like "property."
Although he didn't understand what was happening, he still reached out and knocked on the door several times.
The quarrel stopped immediately. After more than ten seconds, I heard footsteps coming from the door, and then the door was opened. The person who opened the door was a tall man who looked to be in his thirties wearing an apron.
maid.
She lowered her head and asked Shad and Tifa, who was getting off the carriage behind her, about the purpose of their visit. It could be heard in her tone that she had just cried.
"What's going on here?"
Although he was very curious, Xia De introduced himself first:
"I am Knight Hamilton of Regeder, and this is the personal maid of Miss Carina Cavendish, the Duchess of Saladir, Miss Servet and Miss Layla."
Tifa, who had already gotten off the carriage, nodded slightly, followed by the young maid. The two sorceresses of the middle circle, who were probably sent to prevent other situations, did not get off the carriage. They would wait nearby.
"Hello three of you!"
The maid who opened the door immediately wiped her eyes with her sleeve:
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Tifa motioned for Shade to do the talking, so Shade cleared his throat:
"The Duchess, through an intermediary, had an agreement with Mr. Simil Pasolo. Mr. Simil Pasolo wanted to sell a batch of antiques to Miss Carina."
Shade took out the agreement. After the maid took it and checked it, she invited the three people in to talk.
There were two other people in the living room, one was a man in his forties who looked more elegant wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and the other was a woman about the same age as the former, with thick makeup on her face and a plump figure.
The maid introduced the three people who entered the door to these two people, and then introduced them to the three Shads. They are the children of the deceased Mr. Simil Pasolo, and the older one is Piccolo Pasolo.
, already married, followed by Jenny Pasolo, who is two years younger than him, and is still unmarried.
Both Pasolos were well-dressed and seemed to be from their original families, at least not falling down the class ladder.
Shade sat down on the sofa with them, but Tifa and another maid stood behind him.
"So, we came here this time hoping to take away the batch of antiques. Of course, we also brought the gold pounds stipulated in the contract."
The box of money is now being carried by the maid.
"There is no problem with the contract, and we are honored to be able to trade the Duchess of Saradir, but..."
Bill Pasolo had a look of embarrassment on his face:
"But because of inheritance disposal issues, all the things left by my father cannot be touched now."
"What does this mean? Sorry, who is the heir? We can talk to him. The gold pound is not a problem."
Shade said.
"Of course the heirs are me and my sister!"
Bill Pasolo's voice suddenly rose, then he realized he was being impolite and apologized immediately.
"oh?"
Shade glanced at him suspiciously:
"Since it's you, why don't you have a specific will?"
"Yes, but in the will, my father left most of his property to her!"
Jenny Pasolo suppressed her anger and pointed at the maid who opened the door for the three of them. She was holding a saucer and wanted to come over. When she saw that she was mentioned, she stood there at a loss, her face flushed.
I don't know what to say.
Now Shade understood the reason for the roar he heard before knocking on the door.
"Well, this maid must have taken care of Mr. Pasolo for a long time, right?"
"ten years."
The maid, still wearing an apron, said softly.
"You two, you probably don't visit Mr. Simil Pasolo very often, right?"
Shade asked again, Luvia mentioned this just now.
Bill Pasolo, who wears glasses, admits:
"None of us live in Tobesk, and we only come to see my father every summer and winter. Lina was able to take care of my father for so long, and Jenny and I are very grateful to her. If my father only left part of his property to her, we would both
No objection. But, but”
He could no longer suppress his anger:
"My father gave her about 80% of his property in his will!"
After he finished speaking, he apologized again for his voice.
"That's it, so you haven't clarified the ownership of these properties, so you can't hand over the antiques for the time being?"
Shade concluded, and the two Pasolos and the maid known as "Lina" nodded.
"Jenny and I are negotiating with Lina, hoping to properly handle the distribution of the inheritance. If there is no result, we will resolve it through law. The inheritance law of the Kingdom of Delarion may be able to help us."
But in Shade's view, since there is a will, it must be the maid Lina who takes the legal position. But the problem is that if we really want to resort to law, a powerless ordinary maid wants to defeat two middle-class and above Pa
Solo, this is not a simple matter either.
Xia De has no intention of getting involved in other people's family affairs, but he doesn't want to waste too much time here:
"If you have a will, you must act in accordance with it."
He said simply, and when he saw Tifa behind him nodded carefully, he added:
"If the three of them need a lawyer, Miss Carina will not hesitate to help get justice."
The maid Linna looked at Shade with some gratitude, while the two Pasuolos looked a little ugly:
"Mr. Hamilton, what do you mean?"
"How to write a will is how to do it. Where is the will? Mr. Simil Pasolo, who did you leave these antiques to?"
"No, no, actually it was wrong for my husband to leave so much money to me. I just took care of him for a while."
The maid whispered. Seeing that there was still room for negotiation, Piccolo and Jenny Pasolo immediately reconciled and agreed to hand over the batch of antiques today.
After all, no matter who owns the inheritance, it belongs to the three people present. As long as all three people agree to realize the antiques during the property division, the transaction contract can be fulfilled.
It seems that Mr. Bill Pasolo is really afraid that Miss Carina will hire a lawyer for the maid.
The next thing is simple. The antiques collected by Mr. Simil Pasolo have not been touched since his death. They are all in the collection room on the third floor. The five people went upstairs together to check and verify the goods in the list.
inventory.
But what surprised Shade was that all the antiques were there, but the stone figurine with the fragments of the poem was missing.
"That little stone figurine seems to have been buried with Mr. Pasuolo as a funerary object."
The maid thought about it for a long time before saying this:
"This was my husband's decision before his death. He chose six antiques to be buried with him."
Bic Pasolo and Jenny Pasolo also know this. There is a list of funerary objects and there will be no falsification.
Shade then asked Tifa in a low voice for her opinion, and then said:
"If that's the case, it's really a pity, but in that case, Miss Carina can only lose one piece of her collection."
On the third floor, they handed over the antiques that were listed on the list just for cover. Before leaving, Shade made a new request:
"I want to talk to Miss Linna alone and ask something about Miss Black who lives on this street."
He introduced himself as a detective, and the Pasolos temporarily avoided him.
Shade, Tifa and the maid were talking in the living room, but this time it was Tifa who spoke:
"Although Knight Hamilton threatened them just now, after we leave, the will will probably not be recognized."
The maid in her thirties nodded sheepishly:
"It doesn't matter. I also know that it is difficult for them to accept this. I am willing to give up part of my property, but it is impossible to completely give up this gift."
"If you need anything, you can write to me and I can help you."
Tifa said again, and Shade nodded:
"Besides this matter, I am talking to you alone because I really want to ask about Miss Black. You live on the same street, so do you know her?"
"Yes, my husband and I are probably the most familiar people with her on this street. What do you want to know?"
