Chapter 26

In the evening, Klein, who had just returned from St. Samuel's Church, was about to enter the dining room on the second floor when he saw the butler Walter greet him and saluted respectfully:

"Sir, the matter you want to investigate has been clarified. {_新+思+路+中+文+网_新版_Www.SLzw.C0mpure text novel}"

Klein did not ask in front of the servants and maids around him, but nodded calmly and said:

"Go to the study."

Walter followed him all the way to the third floor, watching Richardson open the door of the study and light up the gas wall lamp inside.

Klein walked unhurriedly to the back of the desk, sat down, looked at Mr. Housekeeper, and waited for him to speak.

Walter motioned for Richardson to guard the door, while moving closer to the desk, thinking about his words.

When the door was closed again, he said:

"Ms. Wahana's husband is a fabric merchant. He cooperated with someone before and invested 1,000 pounds. As a result, the other party ran away with the goods. She has asked Mr. Macht and Mrs. Liana to urge the police to solve the case as soon as possible. , However, for this kind of thing, the police department cannot guarantee that the target will be found."

Klein picked up the black round-bellied pen on the desk, stroked it and said:

"For Ms Wahana's family, £1,000 is not a small sum."

As far as he knows, a normal tutor earns no more than £150 a year, and less if the employer provides accommodation and food.

Although Wahana works in the upper class and has multiple employers, her annual income is at most four to five hundred pounds, and she has to spend a large part of it on her own clothing, body posture, and appearance, so as not to be considered unsuitable by the employers. No etiquette.

"Yes, her husband's income can only be considered moderate among cloth merchants. For him, 1,000 pounds is quite a big investment." Walter said tactfully.

It's the same for me... Klein sighed and said with a smile:

"I just came to Backlund, so I'm not familiar with the police department."

Walter immediately responded:

"Sir, when I served Viscount Connard, I knew several members of the Backlund Senior Police Officers Association."

Backlund Senior Police Officers Association? These are all upper-level figures in the Severus field, and the chief superintendent in charge of public security in a district is not eligible to enter.

——Sivilas Field refers to the Backlund Police Department, which is named after the street where it is located.

As expected of a butler from a noble family... Klein sighed secretly, shook his head with a smile and said:

"No need for now. In this regard, Ms. Wahana can seek help from too many people. Whether it is Congressman Macht or anyone else, they are capable enough to make the Sivelas Court pay attention to this case."

He paused, pretending to be casual and said:

"I have seen the bottom of this society and know their rules of survival. Sometimes, the police may not be as effective as gangsters and bounty hunters.

"Walter, you go to the police department to get the corresponding information, go to the famous bars in the Backlund Bridge area and the East District, and issue reward tasks.

"Whether it is finding the corresponding criminal or recovering the batch of fabrics, I will give a reward of 200 pounds.

"Hehe, I only hope that those liars will still stay in Backlund."

"A reward of 200 pounds?" Walter repeated the amount, and couldn't help but glance at his employer, as if he couldn't believe that he was willing to pay so much for Wahana's affairs.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to remind something, but he didn't say it in the end, he just responded seriously:

"Okay, sir."

"I'll give you the money directly." Klein stood up slowly and took out his wallet.

Walter took the thick cash and asked in thought:

"Should I tell Ms. Wahana?"

Klein smiled:

"unnecessary."

Walter nodded in a daze and saluted:

"Your reputation for generosity and generosity will circulate in this neighborhood."

…………

East District, Dharavi Street, in a cramped but lively tavern.

Xio, who combed her short blond hair carefully before going out, squeezed through the area filled with the smell of wine and sweat, and came to the bar.

She tapped the wooden board with her fingers and said to the bartender:

"What new commission do you have today?"

If it was someone else who asked directly without ordering a drink, the bartender would definitely not respond, but seeing Xio on the opposite side, a bounty hunter whom everyone would rather she not drink, he could only sigh:

"There is a commission with a very rich bounty, 200 pounds."

"200 pounds?" Hugh almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, except that she had received missions with a bounty of this level or even higher from Miss Audrey, she had never encountered such a large amount of money in the East District and Backlund Bridge area. The commission, even the Azik Eggers mission that made the bounty hunters here crazy, is only 150 pounds.

For an ordinary bounty hunter, as long as he can complete this commission, it means that he will not need to work for a year!

For Yu Xiu, this is equally important, because she has been helping the mysterious man wearing a golden mask for the past few months, and she initially knows that the man belongs to MI9, and the accumulated meritorious service can be exchanged for the "Interrogator" potion formula.

Therefore, when she worked for the other party, she received very little remuneration, and most of it was converted into meritorious service. Her own savings were all obtained by her advantages in finding and hunting down criminals after becoming a "sheriff".

After I get the potion formula, I have to spend money to buy extraordinary materials, and I only have more than 300 pounds now... Forsi is right, money is not everything, but it is important enough... Thinking of this, Xio looked at the bartender, cautiously asked:

"What task? Who commissioned it?"

"Look for a few swindlers, they cheated you of fabric worth 1,000 pounds." The bartender said as he handed the information to Hugh, "The commissioner seems to be a housekeeper, calling himself Walter, Dawn of Boklund Street Mr. Dantès' service, if you can catch the liar, or recover the cloth, you can go there and collect the bounty."

Xio quickly flipped through the information, and quickly formed a corresponding image in his mind, and intuitively had the direction of the search.

"I will take over this task." She immediately raised her head and said.

The bartender shrugged his shoulders and said:

"It's not just you, all the bounty hunters who have come here have taken on this mission.

"And they had other ideas."

"What do you think?" Xio asked curiously.

The bartender let out a hey:

"They said that Mr. Dawn Dantès is so generous, if he still lacks bodyguards, they can recommend themselves.

"However, they later gave up on this idea, because being a bodyguard is not free as a bounty hunter, and even drinking has to wait until the rest day."

This is not a problem for me, but I can only be a bounty hunter... Xio nodded, jumped off the high chair in front of the bar, and walked towards the door without wasting any time.

…………

The next day, Klein finished his lunch and was going to take a walk in his garden to digest.

At this time, the butler Walter came in from the outside and followed him quietly, waiting until there were no other people around.

"Sir, two things," he said respectfully.

"Two things?" Klein was slightly surprised, he thought there would only be one.

Walter nodded and said:

"Yes, the first thing is about the 10% stake in Backlund Bicycle Company, someone has already offered 10,000 pounds.

"Sir, do you want to continue bidding?"

Lifted 1,000 pounds up? not bad! Klein pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it:

"I just came to Backlund, so many things must be restrained.

"That's it, that's it..."

"Okay, sir." Walter turned and said, "The liar who cheated Ms. Wahana's husband of the cloth has been caught, and the bounty hunter has come nearby and asked for payment."

"So fast?" Klein turned his head in astonishment, looking at Mr. Butler.

If he did it himself, it could indeed be solved on the same day. After all, there is a "divination staff method" to find people, but the problem is that the vast majority of bounty hunters are not fortune tellers.

Hmm, maybe it's a Beyonder who is good at tracking and finding people... Klein made a preliminary judgment in his heart.

Walter replied affirmatively:

"Yeah, much faster than I expected.

"According to the bounty hunter, she traced back from the channel where the stolen goods were sold to find the scammers."

The channel for selling stolen goods is so easy to explain? It seems that he has received the education of Iron Fist... Klein nodded lightly and said:

"What's the name of that bounty hunter? He's very capable..."

"She calls herself Hugh." Walter replied truthfully.

No way... Klein almost staggered, but luckily he has the super balance ability of a clown.

Calming down the turmoil in his heart as if in contemplation, he thought about it and said:

"Leave the contact information of the bounty hunter, maybe I will have the opportunity to ask her for help in the future."

"Okay, sir." Walter didn't think there was anything wrong with Dwayne Dantès' order. A qualified upper-class person always needs some unofficial channels.

Klein didn't continue the topic of Hugh, and said with a "hmm":

"How much did you get back?"

"The cash on the liar's body plus the unsold fabrics totaled 850 pounds." Walter seemed to have expected the employer to ask about this matter, and had made an assessment in advance.

"Very good." Klein nodded and said, "After paying the reward to the bounty hunter, I will assist her in sending the liar and the stolen goods to the nearest police station."

…………

North District Police Department.

Wahana and her husband Backus looked at the senior inspector opposite, and asked in unison in surprise:

"Find it?"

"Caught someone?"

The senior inspector responded with a smile:

"Yes."

He told how much cash and how much cloth was left, which made Vahana and Bakus heave a sigh of relief at the same time.

They can still afford 150 pounds of money, and there is still room for appreciation and profit in the remaining fabrics. Overall, the loss is not big.

They thanked the officer again and again until Backus was asked to identify stolen goods and criminals.

Wahana sat there without losing her demeanor, smiled and said to the senior inspector in front:

"Your efficiency is beyond my imagination. I'm curious, how did you find those liars?"

Knowing that the beautiful and elegant lady on the opposite side knew the members of the House of Commons, and sooner or later she would find out the truth, the senior inspector replied without concealment:

"Actually, it was done by a bounty hunter. She started from the sales channel and quickly caught people."

"Are you still offering rewards?" Wahana seemed to understand the reason.

The senior inspector shook his head and said:

"Before we had time, it was a reward issued by someone else, 200 pounds."

"200 pounds?" Wahana asked in surprise.

This is not a small sum, even exceeding her husband's estimated profit from the business.

Seeing the police officer's affirmative answer, Wahana couldn't help asking:

"Who issued the reward?"

"The bounty hunter didn't say anything, but she was accompanied by a gentleman dressed as a housekeeper." The senior inspector briefly described Walter's appearance.

Wahana vaguely guessed who it was, leaned back slightly, and whispered unconsciously:

"200 pounds..."

…………

In the afternoon, at Macht’s house, Wahana, who came to teach the other party’s daughter etiquette, first thanked Mrs. Liana for her help.

Liana, who has dark green hair, said a few words modestly before asking:

"Wahana, I heard that you are still serving as the etiquette teacher of Mr. Dwayne Dantès. I don't know what kind of person he is?"

Wahana thought about it and said:

"A true gentleman, warm, generous, kind, educated, personable, and knowledgeable."

Liyana nodded slightly when she heard that, turned her head to look at the proud girl next to her, chuckled lightly and said:

"Unfortunately, he is too old, otherwise he would be a good blind date.

"Well, I'm going to invite him to the dance this weekend."
