The Whispering Verses Chapter 1006: New client
Of what happened in the reading salon, Director Anlos heard some inside information and knew that it was related to the church and those mysterious events, so he touched his nose and said nothing.
"Speaking of which, does this count as a work-related injury?"
Xia De said jokingly, and then his expression became a little more serious:
"I found out that Her Highness would sometimes sneak out. I originally thought she wanted to meet with mysterious people, such as the so-called 'Grey Eagle', but in the end I found out that Her Highness just wanted to wander around the city. Take a look. ”
"We also know that His Highness sometimes goes out alone, and the people in the Kasenlik Mission are helpless about this. But she wants to see this city, and we have nothing to blame. We can only try to ensure that she Safe. But I don’t think that Her Highness will contact the Gray Eagle personally. She can just arrange for the people around her to do this."
Director Anlos sat on the sofa and analyzed:
"You have done very well recently, and His Majesty has also heard about your contact with His Highness in social situations. Regardless of whether she comes with other purposes, we just need to ensure that she is surrounded by people on any occasion. It’s good to have our people.”
As he spoke, he took out a card and handed it to Shade:
"Continue working next week. On Friday, His Highness will visit and listen to lectures at the Third National Mechanical Institute of Delrayon in the University District, from morning to evening. This is the access permit of the National Mechanical Institute Please go with me that day. There will be a lot of people there, so be careful to see if anyone suspicious comes into contact with the princess. We all know that you have a good relationship with her, and we hope you can stay with her if possible. His Highness's side."
"Okay."
Shade took the entry and exit permit, and Director Anlos stood up. He was also very busy and did not have time to stay with Shade for a long time:
"After the visiting delegation leaves, His Majesty will reward you based on your merits, and there will also be rewards within the Sixth Office. I will not contact you often recently, and you should not contact the Sixth Office recently"
This is why he came in person:
"Recently our agents are not just fighting against the Gray Gloves, there are quite a few strange guys in the city. Your mission is just to observe and report, don't worry about other things, Section 6 is quite professional."
He waved goodbye to Shade, opened the door and left.
Xia De put away the access permit and returned to the second floor with Xiao Mia in his arms. Before the girls could ask questions, he said:
"My boss is here."
"Boss?"
Princess Margaret, who was sitting on the sofa talking to the blonde girl, was very curious:
"Independent detectives also have bosses? Is it the so-called detective guild?"
"Oh, Your Highness, although my profession is very respectable in Miss Louisa's book, detectives don't always get jobs."
Xia De sat down on the short sofa on the side. The orange cat was thinking about his breakfast, and ran to the restaurant again:
"In the winter after the snow, I haven't received any commissions, but I have a lot of work in late autumn. I can't always sit at home and wait for commissions to come to me, so sometimes I will work with Ridvi What a wonderful collaboration, oh, Ridwich Field is"
"Yes, I know."
Princess Margaret nodded, and Dorothy smiled and helped Shade explain. She knew what Shade wanted to say, half truthfully and half falsely:
"Detectives like Shade sometimes have to work closely with the police, accept official entrustments, and assist in investigations, so he calls the police chief who contacts him his 'boss'."
"At least Ridwich paid generously, but not generously when reimbursing."
Shad said, tilting his head and watching Mia destroy its leftovers in the restaurant:
"Where did we talk just now? Yes, it is not necessary to meet Sir Prisha alone. However, I am very interested in the ancient Prisha family. I have heard that the power of ring wizards has been passed down from generation to generation. Ancient surnames, but I thought those families were attached to the three major colleges."
In fact, Miss Aurora's family is an exception.
“Not every generation of the Prisha family can awaken ring magicians, and the rumors about the ancient family are just legends. Nobles always like to brag about their family’s history. I am very sure that, at least in the past few hundred years, their family’s No special person appeared."
Princess Margaret said, borrowing pen and paper from Shade and drawing the family crest of the Prisha family:
"The surrounding thorn patterns are the merits they added after being loyal to my ancestors. The main body of the heraldry is the family emblem that has been preserved from ancient times, and is related to the surname itself."
In heraldry, those family coats of arms that appear to be quite complex and gorgeous in the eyes of ordinary people actually have extremely rich meanings. Although Shade knew about the noble coat of arms of Delarion, he didn't know much about the nobles of Kasenric. Fortunately, Dorothy beside her had Lecia's knowledge, and in the education the princess received, aristocratic heraldry was a basic course that must be learned. She looked at the picture drawn by Princess Margaret with great interest. Then he pretended to be curious and said:
"When I was compiling writing materials, I learned about the ancient heraldry of nobles in the southern region of Kasenlik. These blue ribbons are folded in three, and decorated with gold crosses, which is a typical 'holy' 'Meaning. Has Sir Prisha's family ever produced a regional archbishop or above in the Five Gods Church?"
"I don't know much about this."
Princess Margaret shook her head:
"I haven't heard that Sir's family has any connection with the church. Besides, ring magicians like us, who are from the three major academies, are very shy about having any connection with the church."
Xia De was also observing the family crest, but before he could express his opinion, the bell rang again downstairs:
"Oh, what happened today? Did everyone specially choose today to visit me?"
He picked up the cat that ran over because he heard the bell, walked to the living room window and looked down:
"The unknown taxi is a very common carriage in the city. Who is it this time?"
"Xia De, take your guests to the second floor to talk. Your Highness and I will hide there."
Dorothy pointed to Room 2, and Shade nodded. So she walked directly to the wall next to the fireplace, opened the door that was almost integrated with the wall, and then turned around and motioned for the princess to follow.
Princess Margaret followed Dorothy to another room, and she was actually guessing about the relationship between Dorothy Louisa and Shade. Just now, she thought that the blonde female writer came here so early because she had something to discuss within the group. But it doesn't seem to be the case now. After all, the blonde writer seems to be too familiar with this house.
Shad on the other side had already brought Xiao Mia downstairs. After opening the door, there was a well-dressed middle-aged gentleman who was paying the cab driver outside the door that Sha De had never seen before. .
He has beautiful brown hair and a very delicate mustache. He is wrapped in a black leather coat and seems to be a fox fur scarf around his neck. The wallet in his left hand was made of something like crocodile skin, and the yellow metal decoration on the cane he held in his right hand was, as expected, probably real gold.
He tipped very well, and when the driver, who was holding banknotes and coins, took off his hat and bowed, he bent down very hard.
The middle-aged gentleman stuffed his wallet into the pocket of his large leather jacket, turned around and saw that the door had been opened, he blinked:
"Detective Shad Hamilton?"
"Yes, it's me, who are you"
The man took off his black leather gloves and stretched out his hand to Shade:
"Boris Cameron, Baron."
He grabbed Shade's hand and shook it, with a heartfelt smile on his face:
"Detective Hamilton, I have admired your name for a long time. It's like this. I have a commission that I want you to handle. Do you have time now?"
"Entrust?"
Although Baron Cameron's enthusiasm was unexpected, Shade still nodded:
"Please come in."
He made way for the door. The baron, who was wearing leather boots, rubbed his shoes on the mat like Director Anlos, and then followed Shade to the second floor.
Dorothy had already put away the teacups, so Shade prepared the tea again. During this period, Baron Cameron was sitting on the sofa and looking at the attire of Room 1 on the second floor with great interest. He just looked at it politely and did not try to touch any items.
After Shade brought the black tea, the handsome middle-aged gentleman talked about his own affairs:
"Detective, this is not what happened to me, it was my brother, Jimmy Cameron. Although we are from the same family, he did not inherit the family title and the factory was given to him when his father passed away. Him."
The Baron explained his family background, which is a very common way of dividing property:
"Little Jimmy, I don't want to complain about my brother, but he obviously has no business talent. He doesn't often go to the factory, but hangs around in the city. I often go to underground casinos, or those illegal clubs. He fished him out, and he was really troublesome. But Jimmy is not a so-called bad person, he just has no ability and just wants to have fun. I have a good relationship with him."
The Baron sighed and took out a black and white photo from his coat pocket and handed it to Shade. The photo was of a single person. The man who took the photo had similar facial features to Baron Cameron, but it could also be seen that he was not the same person. The Baron looks to be in his forties, and the person in the photo looks to be in his thirties, and is obviously much fatter than the Baron.
"Don't worry, my brother is not missing. It's just that last week, he came to me mysteriously and told me that he bought a very magical item."
Shad looked up at the Baron:
"Magical? That's an interesting adjective."
"Yes, that's one"
Baron Cameron showed an embarrassed expression, saying this made him feel quite embarrassed:
"A box that can replicate banknotes."
