The Whispering Verses Chapter 60: Persistent woman

Although the unexpected visit caught Shade off guard, fortunately Mrs. Lawrence is also a reasonable person. After reading the detailed report in full, the disappointment of today's visit is not that serious:

"Since the investigation has been concluded, why was the report not handed over to me immediately? Is it because of Mr. Sparrow Hamilton's sudden illness?"

The lady asked politely, putting the report in her hand. She is dressed fashionably, and her ruffled neckline really sets off her fair neck. Although she looks much older than Mrs. Lasoya, her temperament is outstanding.

"After I took over this firm, I sorted out the remaining commissions of Uncle Sparrow. The original idea was to add at the end of the report the last follow-up that was incomplete because of Uncle Sparrow's illness. Investigation, so Lasoya was tracked again last Saturday..."

Shade looked embarrassed, and then chased away the worried orange cat that came over. He sat on the single sofa and said to the client in a very worried tone:

"In my investigation, the background of Mrs. Lasoya seems not simple. The other party seems... to be related to local illegal social organizations."

He glanced at the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, showing his anxiety:

"Very dangerous."

Then he looked even more embarrassed and did not continue. Mrs. Lawrence nodded understandingly.

Xia De didn’t know what she understood.

"You thought that continuing the investigation would be dangerous, and submitting a report might allow that shameless woman to discover your stalking behavior with Sparrow Hamilton, so you gave up continuing the investigation."

The noble lady concluded, almost guessing what Shade was thinking:

"Yes, that's it. I don't want to get into trouble for this. Of course, by doing this, I actively terminate the investigation. If you need it, I can return the advance payment collected by Uncle Sparrow to you. You can also take this investigation document with you, but I have nothing to do with it... I'm sorry for saying this, but I also hope you won't get too involved with this matter."

Mrs. Lasoya is related to the illegal organization [Mercury Blood], and this organization is planning to make big news recently. Now that the professors have helped Shade cut off all ties with [Mercury Blood], Shade no longer wants to have any contact with illegal organizations.

"Detective, thank you for your kindness, but I don't care what background that kind of woman has. Don't I have any background?"

Mrs. Lawrence, who was bent on finding evidence of her husband’s infidelity, raised her head and said.

"But that Mrs. Lasoya, she..."

Xia De didn't know how to express himself. He really didn't want this poor woman to suffer bad luck because she misunderstood what he meant.

"Not only does she have connections with the upper-class nobility, but she is also connected with local gangs. Do you understand, she is the kind of person who can make us suffer misfortune, whether by legal or illegal means. ”

Xia De tried his best to exaggerate the opponent's power.

"Detective, I understand your good intentions, but I am not a housewife who only wants to stay at home."

Hearing this, Shade immediately recalled the basic information about the client. Although Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence are not nobles, they are large factory owners, and their combined wealth is enough to frighten foreigners who do not know enough. The two did not start from scratch. They both have prosperous families, and their marriage is mixed with interests.

If it weren’t for Detective Sparrow’s reputation for being good at investigating extramarital affairs, a client of this caliber would not have found him here. Therefore, Mrs. Lawrence claims that she is very capable, but she is not bragging.

Seeing what Xia De wanted to say, the lady shook her head and pretended to be mysterious:

"Detective, the world is not as simple as we think."

The ordinary woman said to the ring warlock from out of town that the perfume on her body was very strong, but surprisingly it was not very offensive. At least little Mia did not show any dissatisfaction with the client.

"The world is like an island, detective, but outside the island is the reality. In this world, there are some very magical people who are powerful, effective, strange and dangerous. I met some such people at the housewives' afternoon tea party , they were able to solve my problem."

Xia De certainly understood what she meant by not wanting to elaborate. He was shocked and didn't know how to express his opinion for a moment.

The kingdom has a deep cooperative relationship with the Orthodox Church. Although the three major thaumaturgy academies are hidden outside civilized society, they are also more or less related to the nobility and the royal family. This is what Professor Sanchez said about Lu Yi Miss Sha mentioned it. Irregular ring magicians may also appear around ordinary people for gold pounds or other reasons. Therefore, when Mrs. Lawrence said that she knew a ring magician, she probably did not know a liar:

"Is that so?"

He believed that his expression must be strange at the moment:

"That's good, but Mrs. Lasoya is really dangerous. No matter what means you have, please be careful and cautious."

The young detective nodded and said.

"Yes, of course I understand that. If I really want to do something, of course I have to be very cautious and I will not expose myself in front of the other party... This investigative report is very good, I can use this to track the whereabouts of that shameless woman and my husband."

She rolled up the report and put it in her small satchel. Then he took out his wallet, opened the brass buckle, took out two golden coins representing 1 pound each and placed them on the coffee table in the center of both parties. He tapped the coins with his fingers painted with red nail polish:

"I'm sorry for the death of Detective Sparrow Hamilton. He was a very reliable person. This is the final payment of this commission, Detective. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with you and will not involve you. ”

The lady smiled politely at Shade, then straightened her skirt and stood up.

The original balance was "1 pound 7 shillings", but now it was "2 pounds". Shade didn't know whether he should express his gratitude. He stood up and said goodbye to his client. While being polite, he vaguely understood that the client would never appear in this house again:

"Mrs. Lawrence..."

In the foyer on the first floor, Shade still stopped the lady who was about to walk out. Of course, he could not reveal his identity as a ring warlock, but he also did not want her to suffer bad luck:

"Be careful. Even if you have a very good friend, Mrs. Lasoya herself is not simple. She is a very dangerous person."

Mrs. Lawrence turned and smiled at him:

"Detective Hamilton, you are such a good guy. But I think that compared to your uncle, you are actually not suitable to be a detective here."

"Huh? Why is Sparrow Hamilton's evaluation so bad? Little Franklin seemed to hate him last time."

Shad thought to himself, standing on the stairs and watching Mrs. Lawrence open the door of the apartment on the first floor and board the carriage waiting for her at the door.

The young detective walked to the door and stood on the stone steps of No. 6 St. Teresa Square. He watched the private carriage, under the gloomy sky, circle the streets of the square for half a week and then go away. He had no idea what might happen next. Very worrying about what will happen.

It seems like it’s going to rain in the dreary city of Tobesk in summer.
