Chapter 551 Letters from afar

"My lover of the Grand Duke, I am not talking about you."

Seeing Shade suddenly looking towards him, Director Anros explained immediately.

"I didn't say you were talking about me?"

Shade also said the same, both of them were a little embarrassed, so they consciously bypassed the topic:
" That's right, Virgil Cameron also went to Tobeysk to participate in Ayutthaya Players. But we suspect that his real purpose was to come to Tobeysk and meet the people in Kasenrik."

Director Anros continued.

"Sorry, please wait."

Shade raised his hand and asked hesitantly:
"You mean, he went to Tobesque to meet him. Isn't it more dangerous here than the small dukedom in the south? Even if the dukedom has been suspected by the royal family, isn't it safer to find a country town in the kingdom than Tobesque?"

" The specific reason is still under investigation, but it is probably that both parties do not trust each other and are unwilling to set the meeting place in a remote country. Moreover, this meeting is a top-secret operation. Our people know the news, it is purely coincidental. In short— "

Mr. Anlos clapped a hand on Shade's shoulder and looked at him with piercing eyes:
"Virgil Cameron will be closely monitored by us in Tobesque, However, the final three games of the Ayutthaya players are not allowed to enter at will. Although we have placed people, it is not safe after all. Therefore, if you and Mr. Cameron, in the case of a small probability, both enter In the finals, I want you to do your best to monitor whether he has met with suspicious people."

The big city player Rhodes Tournament lasts for two weeks, with the preliminary round on Friday, the rematch next week, and the next weekend 8 players were selected to participate in the finals. There are a total of three finals, and only guests with special invitations can watch the games, and the invitations are issued half a year in advance, and even the list has already been announced. If MI6 just got the news, it is really difficult to temporarily install reliable personnel.

"If it's just this kind of task, I don't think it will be a problem."

Shade nods, and Mr. Anlus is very satisfied with his entrustment:

"The probability of the two sides meeting in the final venue of the big city players is very small. After all, no one can predict whether Virgil Cameron will be able to enter the final. Therefore, you don't have to be under pressure."

He laughed and let go, but when the two walked back to the front door of the facility management office together, he turned his head and said to Shade;
"Look at my memory, forgot to say, Shade, wish you The game went well."

He patted Shade's shoulder again:

"Our agents, no one has ever made it to the Ayutthaya finals. If you can win the 1853 championship , I think I can raise your salary grade immediately. After all, we welcome people with professional expertise to join the team."

When I left the city waste management center, because of accepting MI6 Task, Shade unconsciously thought of the letter that was about to be sent.

Detective Sparrow has said that on the fifth day of September, which is this Thursday, a letter will be sent to 6 St. Teresa Square, and Shade will inherit the price of all his inheritance , but to maintain the detective agency until that day and burn the letter.

"Time flies so fast, today is Monday, Thursday."

He wasn't sure if he would open the letter first when he received it. at a glance. After all, he was really curious about that Sparrow.

Since he received his salary, Shade followed the agreement and took Mia out for a big meal at noon. The cat gets sleepy when it's full, so in the afternoon, Rumia takes a nap alone at home while he goes to town to deal with the monthly gas bills, steam bills, and his own newspaper advertisements.

It just so happened that Shade met Dorothy who came here to run errands at the Steam Bird Daily Newspaper.

The editors of the newspaper, carrying a sack that looked very heavy, wanted to help Dorothy carry it to the four-wheeled carriage parked outside the newspaper. Shade found out after inquiring a bit that it contained letters from readers.

"Do you read every letter?"

Shade asked Dorothy curiously, and got a positive answer from Goldilocks.

But when the two left the newspaper, Dorothy told Shade in a low voice that she actually only read a small part of it, and she piled the rest in the corner, thinking about waiting until When you have the money to buy your own house, stack these letters in the attic. After all, this was a letter from a reader, and even if she didn't have time to read it all, she wouldn't throw it away or burn it.

"Actually you can put it with me first, anyway, my house is relatively empty."

Shade gave advice, so his attic was full of five sacks letter. But in return, Dorothy, who spent the afternoon watching detective records in Shade's study, invited him to dinner at a fancy restaurant on Silver Cross that evening.

While paying the bill, Shade noticed that Dorothy had left the name of Lacia's Maid.

"She wouldn't mind."

Dorothy said with a smile, which made Shade think of Laccia's body kissing him on Sunday night with Dorothy .

Waking up early Tuesday morning, Shade misremembered the time, thinking that the letter that needed to be burned would arrive today. But when I went to the door to get the milk, I was blown by the morning wind, and I remembered that the letter could only be sent on Thursday.

However, there is indeed a letter sent from afar today. It is a letter from Miss Mia Gothe. The previous owner of Mia asked Mia about the cat with the frequency of one letter a month. And send Shade the cat's £10 maintenance fee by mail on time.

In addition to MI6's salary, this money is actually Shade's regular income.

In the letter, Miss Gold is still concerned about Mia's current situation, and said that she has received the photo of Mia sent by Shade last month.

She once again expressed her gratitude to the detective, but also said that her illness is still not getting better, and the troubles in her hometown are increasing. Not only strange rumors, but some news about her defunct family.

She certainly won't be able to leave for Tobesque to pick up Mia within this year, so hopefully the detectives can take care of the cat for a while longer.

"Isn't it just the flu last month? Why are you still recovering for a month? Is family affairs really that heavy?"

Shade was puzzled by this. While worried about the client's health, she was glad that she did not entrust anyone else to come to Tobesque to pick up Mia.

"But it seems that Miss Gothe is very rich, or her 'declining' family is very rich."

Shade turned the two pages of the letter and looked at the back. whether there is content.

"If I want to buy Mia, I'm afraid I will spend a lot of money"

Thanks to the sale of the murloc's elixir to Galina some time ago Miss, Shade still has more than 2,000 pounds in savings. Although he couldn't tell what kind of cat Mia was, it shouldn't be expensive. But if Miss Mia Gold's love for the cat is superimposed, Shade is not sure whether 2,000 pounds will be able to get the cat from the lady.

"It seems that we have to continue to test the other party's attitude."

He found stationery and prepared to write a reply:

"There are still four months this year, except In addition to this month, I have three chances to write and talk to Miss Gothe in October, November and December. I have to decide before January next year whether the other party is willing to sell the cat to me. In fact, it is better to delay it. Maybe gradually, Miss Gothe's feelings for Mia will fade. Well, I still have to be prepared to save money."

[Have you ever thought about what would happen if that lady died of illness? how? ]

Her voice suddenly came out of her ear, Shade thought for a while, then shook her head sharply:

"I can't curse the client, and, even if Miss Gothe really After I die of illness, I have to go to that town in person and tell me about my plan to adopt Mia before her grave. However, I don’t want this to happen.”

【Why? Reluctant to travel long distances? ]

"No, I hope everyone can live well."

He took off the cap of the pen and chased away the cat that was spinning around the ink bottle, so the cat returned Jumping on Shade's lap:

"Everyone is mortal, but I hope no one I know will leave because of an accident."
