Chapter 120 Beas's Entrustment
Shade cleared his mind a little and focused on the things in front of him :

"Yes, Sparrow Uncle's diary, the firm's ledger, and his investigative schedule have records of these things."

"Please take them out, this one. It's none of your business from now on. It's dangerous, you understand, detective? We don't want what happened to Mrs. Lawrence to happen again."

The church probably wants to get all the The information about Mrs. La Soya, on the one hand, wants to protect the ordinary person Shade, so she does this.

So he took the documents about the investigation commission and spent half an hour checking it with Miss Beas.

The young girl is not very good at dealing with word work. She is a little awkward when recording and arranging documents, and even almost made Xiaomia bite out a small hole in the detective diary page.

But she likes cats very much, so in the end, Miss Beas took care of Mia, and Shade helped her sort the documents, label them on the pages and record them, and then put them into the detective office together. Hand it to her in the file bag:

"When you go back, just look for the file by the number. If there is something wrong, you can come to me at any time."

"Detective, you What a good person."

The long brown-haired girl sighed with a smile, putting her file bag and her handbag together, but did not intend to get up from the sofa.

"Anything else?"

Shade doesn't want to get too involved with Miss Bayas at the moment, for fear of sabotaging Miss Anante's "smart" plans.

The long brown-haired girl smiled:
"Those things just now are the work that I need to complete, but outside of work, there are still some things I want to know. Since here is the Detective agency, I think you can also accept my entrustment."

"Entrust?"

Shade was a little surprised, but according to his identity as a normal detective, he did not immediately refuse:
"Yes, but I need to know the specific situation first."

Even if the other party is the selected person, if it is a normal entrustment, of course he can accept it. Before Miss Anat successfully established contact with Miss Bayas, he only regarded the other party as an ordinary girl.

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

"Mr. Lawrence is missing, and I taught Ridwich Field to arrange for others to investigate the matter, but nothing has been gained. For me personally, I am not satisfied with the simple work now, so I want to investigate again in my private capacity as a supplement to Blackstone Security's investigation into this matter. But since I've already been to Ridwich Field once, for a club with a background like this, I pretend to be a police officer. Identity is not easy to use. So, I want to entrust you to go with me, pretending to be a wine merchant to investigate."

The young woman pretending to be a wine merchant is impossible to be believed. And the reason why Shade was entrusted, not the other detectives, was because this kind of thing was not suitable for involving unrelated people.

"Well, if it's just an investigation, I think it's fine."

Shade said, on the one hand because it was a normal commission, on the other hand, on the death of Mrs. Lawrence , he always wanted to do something. Of course, there may be accidents in this kind of investigation, but in this world, nothing is without accidents.

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

He's made up his mind.

"Let's go now, Mr. Lawrence was last seen at the Lucky Southern Cross Club. Teach, I mean the Ridwich Field investigation is well done, but I think I have some Unique skills."

Miss Beas's actions must have been hidden from the church, but Shade didn't care if the girl wanted to do something, or was just curious, he just He whispered in a low voice:
"Why is it a lucky Southern Cross again?"

Then he changed his words:

"As an ordinary citizen, I can be as young and promising as you. It is an honor for me to cooperate with my agent."

"I will pay for this commission, Detective Hamilton, I know your detective agency is always handling small matters such as extramarital affairs. After working with me this time, if the cooperation is pleasant, I can serve as your intelligence source in the Police Department in the future."

Miss Beas seems to have thought about this sentence long ago, and Shade looked towards her in surprise. , didn't expect his progress to be faster than Miss Anat.

So he stood up and asked by the way:
"This investigation, it shouldn't be any danger, right?"

Miss Beas also stood up He got up and said confidently:
"With me here, you will not be in danger, I will protect you."

Shade doesn't believe that there is no danger at all, especially acting with Miss Bayas, But this time he really wanted to go:
"Okay, Miss Bellas, do you have a gun?"

"No, the official police officer doesn't have a gun. , but I have learned women's martial arts."

She also knew that this statement was a bit ridiculous, and seemed to want to tell the young ignorant detective for a moment that she had power, but a woman from the Church of the Righteous God warlock is not so imprudent.

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

【Gun of Kindness】Although you can't shoot at will, But the meaning of the gun itself is deterrent, especially when facing the ordinary person.

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

Miss Bayas was glad he didn't get caught up in "women's martial arts".

“I don’t have a gun license.”

Shade speak frankly.

"What does that matter? If you are caught with a gun, you say it's my gun."

She waved her hand and said indifferently.

The kingdoms of Delarion and Kasenrik are nominally gun-free, but not strictly. However, if they are found to be carrying a gun in some sensitive occasions, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

But as a private detective, it's not incomprehensible that he has a gun in his hand, so Beas doesn't care about Shade's illegal possession of a gun.

"Okay, let's go."

This time Shade completely covered up all the wrong things about himself.

The Lucky Southern Cross Club is quite far from St. Teresa Square, so the two took the carriage to get there. Of course, this expense is paid for by the employer.

Mr. Lawrence, who is a big factory owner, visited the club because of regular business, not from the back door and then to play cards, so the two who went to the club this time did not need to enter the club like Shade did last time. .

In the hazy fog, after they got off the carriage, they walked directly to the main entrance of the club, looking at the vertical triangular woodcut sign on the door that said 20% off drinks in the club today. The people in the club were very creative. They connected a branch line from the wall to the steam pipe to connect the signboard, so that the signboard itself could spray white steam mist.

But this doesn't seem to attract too many guests other than to detour them.
