Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 29 Bakerland

On Tuesday morning, Klein, who woke up naturally after sleeping, prepared two slices of toast, a piece of butter, a piece of bacon, and a cup of coffee for himself, and read the newspaper leisurely while having breakfast.

With the terrible charm of "Foul Words", he was relieved a lot, and he was no longer as tense as before.

Wow, Klein finished flipping through the "Becklund Post", picked up the "Tasok Newspaper", and saw a piece of news on the second page:

"At two o'clock in the morning today, a fierce gun battle took place on Red Brick Lane in the East District. According to the police, this may involve a conflict between two gangs, one of which is the notorious Zmanger Party."

The Zmanger Party...Red Brick Lane in the Eastern District...Klein suddenly had an idea, left the dining table, and found Backlund's map.

He just glanced at it, and found that Red Brick Lane was not far from White Rum Street, and Ian Wright used to haunt the telegraph office on White Rum Street.

Red Brick Lane is where Ian Wright hides? Is it the military special department and the intelligence personnel of Intis that are in fierce conflict? I don't know what the result will be... Klein forked the last piece of bacon, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

He only "informed" the two parties about the divination situation yesterday morning, and they locked Ian's position that night, which is not inefficient.

After taking a sip of coffee, Klein put down the newspaper and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he heard the doorbell jingling, echoing continuously.

"Who?" Klein wiped his mouth with a napkin, and walked towards the door suspiciously.

Is it a new commission? I have been running around for the past few days because of Ambassador Intis. I don’t know how many commissions I have missed, how many potential customers I have lost... It’s a waste of my advertising money... If this continues, my financial situation will be stretched. Already... Klein thought of a lot at once, and opened the door with his hand.

There were two ladies standing outside. One was Mrs. Somer, who was quite formal in her morning gown. Her face was painted with exquisite makeup, and she was more beautiful than at home. She couldn't tell that she was about thirty. She wears a wide-brimmed hat of fine checkered black gauze, and the dress is darker and more fluffy.

"Detective Moriarty, I have friends who want your help." Starling Summer held the gauze cap in her hand, and there was no smile in her blue eyes.

"Please come in." Klein pointed to the living room area. Taking the opportunity of turning around, he fastened the top button of his shirt and straightened his black vest.

Starling nodded lightly and didn't speak again.

A lady with a black veil enters the room.

She was very familiar with this place, and without Klein's reminder, she easily found the sofa and sat down.

Klein was about to ask a question immediately, but after thinking about Starling Summer's style, he still asked with a smile:

"Coffee, or black tea?"

In his eyes, Mrs. Summer is a lady who pursues the quality of life and wants to show a sense of superiority in every way.

"No need." The other woman took off her wide-brimmed black muslin hat.

Her facial features look good alone, but the combination is disappointing. In addition, her cheekbones are too high, and her appearance looks much older than her actual age.

A little anger, a little sadness, a little hesitation, a little fear... Klein read the lady's emotions.

It's not that he suddenly possesses the audience's ability, but that the other party's performance is too obvious.

"Yes, neither coffee nor black tea can solve the problem." Starling imitated the posture in the magazine, trying to make herself sit more gracefully, "This is Mrs. Mary Gale, she is Shareholders of the Coim Corporation."

"Mrs. Gail, what do you want to entrust?" Klein sat on the single sofa, leaning forward slightly, with his arms resting on his lap.

"Don't call me Mrs. Gale, just call me Mary." Mary Gale pursed her lips and said, "I hope you can track down my husband to see if he has a mistress, and it's best to get real evidence. "

Because of the active promotion of the Evernight Goddess Church for many years, the Loen Kingdom is more radical in marriage laws than Fusac, Intis, Lunburg and other countries, stipulating that those who betray their marriage must pay a monetary price for it, that is In other words, property division will be at an absolute disadvantage.

I heard that for other private investigators, at least four out of ten commissions were to investigate extramarital affairs... I didn't expect to meet them too... Klein thought about it and said:

"Substantial evidence is not easy to come by."

"I will lend you a newest portable camera first." Mary replied without hesitation, "As long as you can get the evidence, I will pay you 10 pounds. If it is just to confirm whether there is a mistress, Then you can only get pounds."

Do you mean the so-called portable camera that is two-thirds the size of my head? 10 pounds, this price is not low... Klein has been paying attention to starting a business recently, and he also knows something about the latest cameras.

He hesitated for two seconds and said:

"OK."

"But you must provide details of your husband and his activity patterns."

"...No problem!" Mary was stunned for a second, and then said with all her strength.

"Thank you for your help, I hope you don't tell others about this." Starling urged from the side.

Hearing this, Klein immediately sighed and said:

"I'm a very confidential person, and I often get into trouble for this."

…………

In the hall of Earl Wolfe's house, men and women danced to the melody played by the violin.

Holding a glass of pale gold champagne, Audrey "accidentally" bumped into the ambassador of the Republic of Intis to Loen, Bakerland Jean Madan.

"You are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen." Bakerland, who had a thin face with a little stubble, kissed the back of Audrey's hand in white gauze gloves politely, with passionate and bold eyes.

Audrey rolled her eyes and said with a chuckle:

"Is this the way Intis speaks?"

"Yes, we never hesitate to praise beautiful things." Bakerland chuckled, "If I hadn't considered the atmosphere of the Loen Kingdom, I might have called you my angel."

Old pervert... Audrey maintained an elegant smile and said:

"The Loen people are indeed different from the Intis people."

"Oh, this reminds me of a joke, please allow me to be presumptuous." Bakerland rolled his eyes and said, "After spending a good time with a beautiful girl, most Loen men will say, oh dear , I want to smoke a cigarette, and most Intis men will say..."

He deliberately paused, Audrey tilted her head slightly, endured the nausea, and asked in a ignorant look:

"What will you say?"

"Most of the men in Intis will say, oh, baby, I have to go back, so I can't be discovered by my wife." Bakerland raised his glass and laughed.

"... People who can blackmail themselves always have extra charm." Audrey smiled politely.

Her beautiful crystal green eyes suddenly looked behind Ambassador Bakerland:

"Sorry, a friend is looking for me."

"It's a pleasure chatting with you." Bakerland bowed his body and stepped aside.

Audrey walked forward gracefully without looking back.

Just as she was thinking about whom to make an excuse to, a young gentleman approached her and reminded her in a low voice:

"Audrey, don't be fooled by that Ambassador Bakerland, he is an old bastard! I don't know how many ladies have been tricked into bed."

Bakerland is greedy for beauty? This is consistent with my observation... This is a weakness... Audrey turned her eyes and smiled, not hiding her disgust:

"Kans, have you misunderstood me? Goddess, how could I be confused by that Ambassador Bakerland? The perfume he sprayed made me want to vomit, his words are so dirty, his taste is Like a peacock."

Cons is the youngest son of Viscount Lierson, and his family has a good relationship with the Hall family.

According to Audrey's understanding, after graduating from Tingen University, Kang Si entered MI9 and became mysterious.

Her original plan was to chat with Ambassador Bakerland for a while, to observe closely, and then, using the excuse of being angry with the other party, to find more information from Kang Si and other friends who have stepped into the intelligence community. Who knows, she does not need to go After searching, Consi Liersen came over by himself, and took the initiative to open up related topics.

"Your feeling is not wrong." Constance smiled sincerely, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Besides, Bakerland is still a very dangerous guy."

"How dangerous is it?" Audrey asked curiously in cooperation.

"You've heard of it, Extraordinary, right? I know you've always been interested in this aspect." Kongsi said after deliberation.

Audrey nodded lightly:

"I know a lot, most of which were told to me by Grelint."

Kang Si glanced at Bakerland who was chatting with a lady, and said solemnly:

"He is the intelligence leader of Intis in the kingdom, and he has done a lot of bad things, but we have never obtained any useful evidence. He himself belongs to Sequence 6, a 'conspirator'."

He didn't go into too much detail with Audrey, an outsider, and didn't mention that "Conspirator" belongs to the "Hunter" path.

However, Audrey knew about this a long time ago, and pretended to be naive and sighed:

"He's amazing!"

"He secretly has an assistant who may have reached Sequence 5. In addition, all the intelligence personnel of Intis in the Kingdom are under his management. There are many Extraordinary people in it. Unfortunately, we only have a few at present... Kong Si slightly mentioned, "Even if Bakerland praises you, don't be happy. This is not his real idea. He just wants to use it to get more information."

I don't like hearing your words that much... Audrey looked up at the gorgeous chandelier, thought for a few seconds and said:

"Is Bakerland very smart? You have never obtained his evidence..."

"He is really good at plotting conspiracies, but he also has a lot of problems. He likes to chase women, likes romantic feelings, takes risks, and is quite radical. If it weren't for the status of ambassador that prevented us from carrying out many actions, he would have been arrested long ago." Kong Si pouted and said, "However, he will be replaced soon, very soon."

"Why?" Audrey asked in surprise.

"Dear beautiful lady, this is not something you should know." Kang Si insisted on the principle of confidentiality.

When the ball was coming to an end, Audrey, who had collected a lot of information, found Viscount Greint and asked him to help contact Xio and Fors.
