Chapter 121 Meeting again

The regular main business of Lucky Southern Cross Club is the collection of drinks And tasting, there will be illegal Rhodes casinos at night. According to Miss Beas, the Orthodox Church and the Ridwich Field conducted a joint search of the place yesterday afternoon, but no clues were found.

Because of the connection between this club and the great nobles, a comprehensive search is the limit. As a newcomer to the National Police Agency, she believes that she has some special investigative abilities and may be able to obtain clues.

Shade guessed that Miss Beas might have some sort of Mystic Art related to scouting, which led him to think of his own spell, "Echo of Blood", which he used last time at the club.

He knew the true identity of Miss Bayas and didn't understand why the other party took the initiative to investigate. The young girl doesn't seem to be someone who is greedy for merit, so she can only temporarily think that she has other connections with [Blood of Quicksilver].

Miss Bayas is a newcomer to the "Police Department", and no one here knows her identity, so the two can walk directly into the club. They disguised their identities as young merchants who came to buy famous wines to entertain their distinguished guests. Therefore, after being warmly received, they were led by the club's maid to the reception room on the second floor to wait.

"Detective, you're in charge of holding down the guy in the club and negotiating business with him. I'll use the excuse to go to the bathroom and conduct reconnaissance activities. That's your whole mission, and I think it should be fine."

Before the manager of the club on duty today came with the wine catalogue, Miss Bayas explained to Shade that Shade had very little opinion on this simple plan:
"It's better to hold him back. No problem, since you're the employer, of course everything is up to you. But I don't understand alcohol, so it's inevitable that there will be some weak spot."

"It's okay, you just need to find an excuse to hold him back."

Miss Beas shook her handbag:
"I'll pay you to hire you, you have to play your role, the longer the time, the more I pay. Hold him for at least 20 minutes. , and don't make him suspicious of me leaving the room."

"I'm not even sure I can."

"It's okay, even if my identity is revealed, I won't let you go. Jail."

Miss Bayas patted Shade on the shoulder, looking confident.

The reception room is tastefully decorated, all furniture is dark brown solid wood, and half of the floor is covered with red carpet, which Shade suspects is wool.

Soon someone pushed the door and came in. It was a black formal suit with a serious face and a red booklet.
"Is that you?"

The man who entered the door was the first Time recognized Shade, and Shade recognized each other for the first time. The other party was astonishingly the night he came here to pick up Franklin Jr., and found Mr. Nit who had infiltrated the detective.

This reunion was far beyond Shade's expectations, but the other party knew that he was not a wealthy businessman who bought alcohol.

But fortunately, Shade was ready when she agreed to Miss Beas's commission. Originally, he agreed to pretend to be a businessman because he didn't want to mix the two things together, but now that he has revealed the truth, he doesn't care about those little things.

My mind in this brief moment became more active than ever before, and his face changed from relaxed to serious. Shade lowered his voice and spoke first:
"It's not easy to meet you."

"en?"

Mr. Nate and Miss Beas asked at the same time, and the latter realized that the two knew each other.

"Detective, what are you doing here?"

Mr. Nate asked, taking a look at the outfits of the two people in the room:

"This time it should be Isn't it here to pick up people? The casino is closed during the day."

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

He said, taking out his own I took out the three Rhodes cards in the notebook:
"Last time I heard that the lady was also collecting Rhodes cards, and I happened to have some good ones in my hand. I have already written to tell you that I will come this evening, it seems to be early. If the lady is not around, I can wait a bit."

"The lady" told Shade in the letter not to say that she was looking for him, so Shade made up a random one. reason. As for the lady who came to see the lady, why did she pretend to be a wine merchant? Shade didn't mention that, but Mr. Nate didn't care either, because as soon as he mentioned "that lady", Mr. Nate suddenly became nervous:
"You want to see that lady? No problem, I'll go upstairs and ask if the distinguished lady would like to see you now."

"en?"

This next round To Shade's surprise, he didn't know that the other party was actually there now. The two agreed to meet in two hours.

"But it doesn't seem to matter. She wanted to see me in the first place. I can use this excuse later." Confused Miss Beas:
"This is my female companion, and I think 'the lady' doesn't want to meet strangers. Please find her a room to rest and don't disturb her."

Deliberately patted Rapunzel's shoulder to show their intimacy.

Mr. Nit did not doubt either:
"Of course, since she is your female companion, she is naturally the VIP of the club."

Then he found the man in the corridor. The maid arranged another reception room for the two of them, and instructed that no one could disturb the guests after they brought tea and snacks.

Mr. Nate went to the third floor to ask the maid about the situation while the maids were preparing refreshments. He was not qualified to see the lady, or even to knock on the door.

Soon, Mr. Nate brought an answer that Shade could go upstairs, without giving Miss Bayas and the detective any chance to speak privately.

Before the two separated, Shade pretended to stand up and tidied up the folds of his clothes, and quietly winked at Warlock, a young woman from the Church of the Righteous God, signaling the other party to be careful.

But Miss Beas was obviously wrong, because she quietly gave Shade a thumbs up, which is also a compliment in this world.

"After the matter is over, I will definitely pay a large sum of money."

With this thought, he went out under the guidance of the familiar fat maid. third floor.

It's still the room with the whole wall of bookshelves, and the conversation with the lady in the room is still through the door. Only this time Shade was allowed to sit in the study, and the maid also prepared tea and snacks for him.

The temperature of the inner Qi in the room is normal, and there are no strange things on the coffee table, so everything will be normal for this meeting.

"You did good at Lake View Manor."

After the fat maid closed the door from outside, "the lady" said this,

Since the other party helped the five members of the team escape suspicion, it was impossible not to know that they were on the third floor at the time. It's just that Shade wasn't sure if the other party knew that the "masked man under the silver moon" was him.

"Speaking of which, the appointment time is to meet in the evening, and I'm here for other things. So you showed up earlier, is this a coincidence?"

The woman asked, from Judging from the normal indoor temperature, she should be in a good mood today.
