Part 1 The Joker Chapter 194 Infiltration
”Mrs. Sherron?” Dunn obviously knew the widow of Baron Hoy, Tingen City’s most famous socialite.
Councilman Maynard’s wife gave a sideways glance at the skinny lady who had accompanied her to Blackthorn Security and didn’t speak herself.
The thin lady with the same black dress and hat deliberated:
”Yes, Mrs. Sherron, the wife of the old baron who died in the Hoy family, she, she ……”
Stuttering for a few seconds, the skinny lady suddenly came out of her mouth in anger:
”She’s a bitch!”
Hearing this foul language, Klein suddenly recalled the “little piece of filth” he had seen and the seemingly timid but calm performance of Mrs. Sheridan at that time, which made him a little more convinced of the relevant rumors, and in his heart, he silently sympathized with the old baron who had passed away:
Not that Mrs. Sherron can not remarry, but this kind of promiscuous practice …… Hey, the old baron’s grave is afraid of a green grass ……
Without a change of expression, Dunn sat down on the opposite sofa and said in a mellow voice:
”But that has nothing to do with whether she is a criminal or not.”
”As you know well, and as I know well, Mrs. Sherron is very influential in Tingen City, and rashly following her and monitoring her could easily result in unsolvable problems and very bad consequences.”
”She’s the criminal!” The skinny lady said indignantly, “She caused my brother’s death, but those lovers of hers put a lot of pressure on the police department to make the conclusion that my brother died suddenly and suddenly because of excessive drinking and continuous indulgence, they, they are all criminals!”
Those …… Klein sympathized with the old baron for another second, and figured out the identity of the thin lady, who was the sister of Senator Maynard.
Also, this kind of thing involving scandal, surely would not bring up the maid, or their own family members to rest assured …… He nodded with some dawning realization.
Mrs. Maynard patted the back of the thin lady’s hand, and added in a low and icy voice:
”She is the criminal!”
”If you are damaged by this, I will help you out and make good your losses.”
This tone …… is worthy of being the daughter of a big shot of the New Party …… If the police department hadn’t been so confident in the results of my seance, I’m afraid they would have succumbed to her pressure …… Crane bellyached .
Dunn said in silence for a dozen seconds:
”Well …… I have one more question, you guys seem pretty sure we can find out something?”
The skinny lady nodded:
”We were introduced to you by tobacco merchant Vic Rolle, who praised you guys as the best of the best in the business, capable of accomplishing what no one else can.”
烟草商人维克罗尔…… Which one is this? Klein subconsciously looked at the captain, only to find that Dunn Smith was also filled with confusion.
I am so stupid, why would I have the luxury of expecting the captain to remember this kind of thing …… After all, I don t even remember it myself …… He secretly sighed.
Seeing the two elite “mercenaries” with a puzzled face, the thin lady added another sentence:
”You saved his kidnapped son.”
It turned out to be him …… That kidnapping case allowed me to discover the clues of the Antigonus family’s notes …… Klein suddenly realized.
Dunn followed suit and nodded slightly:
”I see.”
Seeing this, the skinny lady made an offer:
”You follow and monitor that, that bitch for two weeks, and even if you fail to find evidence of her crimes, you record who visits her home and whose home she visits, and we will pay 50 gold pounds for that.”
”And if you can find evidence, or clues, to her crimes, we’ll pay an additional 200 pounds.”
This is a huge commission …… Crane suddenly thought that he only used seven pounds to let Detective Henry collect so much information about the red chimney houses, and for a moment, he was a little ashamed.
Dunn thought for a moment and said:
”No problem, we can sign the contract now.”
”You need to pay 20 pounds in advance.”
Captain, manpower is very tight these days, there is that big case …… of Lanerius Klein did not expect Dunn Smith to agree to this task, although he himself was quite a bit heartened.
Mrs. Maynard nodded gently:
”No problem.”
”I trust you, and please don’t let me down.”
Dunn smiled without saying anything and turned to Roxanne:
”You go draw up a contract.”
When the contract was signed, the deposit was collected, and he watched Mrs. Maynard and the skinny lady leave the Blackthorn Security Company, Dunn looked sideways at Klein and said:
”I’ll leave this task to you.”
”Huh?” Klein was at a loss.
Dunn smiled and said:
”Don’t you want to learn the skills of tracking and surveillance? This is a good opportunity to practice, and it just so happens that the part you were in charge of in the Lanlus case is over.”
”Alright ……” Klein didn’t push his luck.
Just as he agreed, his thoughts began to race:
According to the rules, half of the mission’s remuneration has to be submitted to Mrs. Oleanna, to the squad’s vault, and the rest will be divided equally among the participating team members, and it seems that I’m the only one to take over this commission ……
Regardless of whether the investigation is successful or not, there will be a guaranteed income of 25 pounds, and the salary itself will be received as usual …… If I can really find some clues, I can even get a whole 125 pounds!
The captain is really wise!
Dunn glanced at him and said:
”You find Leonard, Frye in the morning to learn the skills of tracking and surveillance, the afternoon fighting course is suspended, this week is suspended, well …… I think you should have mastered it almost, I will send someone to inform Gawain.”
Looking for Leonard, Frye to learn the skills of tracking and monitoring? How does it feel a bit unreliable ah …… Klein froze for a moment, in his mind, the only method Leonard would use is to play the Feneport piano, chant beautiful poems, seduce Mrs. Shirren into bed, and stalk and monitor at close range, and Fry’s temperament is very special, icy cold, gloomy, which makes him, no matter where he is, subject to the gaze of other people. How can someone with this kind of image be tracked and monitored?
As his thoughts rolled around, Klein answered seriously:
”Okay.”
Dunn nodded gently and walked towards the partition, suddenly, he stopped and turned his body, hesitating and said:
”You remember the tobacco merchant? What was the kidnapping all about?”
…… So Captain you just remembered nothing and understood nothing …… Why can you pretend to be so calm and confident! Klein reached up and covered his face hole.
……
According to Leonard’s teaching, Klein didn’t rush to follow Mrs. Sherron, even though he knew very well that the other party lived on Olsner Street in the East End.
”Before figuring out the target’s action pattern, it’s very easy to go wrong by rashly following her, and it’s difficult to observe everything from the surveillance of a single person, unless you don’t eat, drink, sleep or go home.” These were Leonard’s exact words, so Klein followed his instructions, headed to the Hound Tavern, found a certain gang leader, and spent five pounds to ask him to send his men to take turns monitoring Mrs. Sherron and recording her daily movements.
Fortunately, this is reimbursable …… How does it feel like it’s being subcontracted in layers …… On Friday afternoon, Klein got the investigation report provided by that gang leader.
This is said to be an investigative report, obviously insulting those professional private investigators, that gang leader’s men did not know a single word, all rely on pictures and symbols to replace, and then by their only one year of Sunday school semi-literate bosses to organize and explain, see Klein’s head a burst of pain, a good half a day to read through.
”According to the surveillance, Mrs. Sherron has rarely gone out lately, and there are few guests visiting …… It should be affected by the case of Senator Maynard’s death …… Those gang members are quite capable of doing so, but they even hooked up with Mrs. Sherron’s maid. had a line …… Well, she is going to a Tory party in the city tonight, and may or may not be home late …… This is an opportunity for practice.” Crane made a quick decision, intending to sneak into Mrs. Sherron’s house tonight and quietly search through it.
With the end of the Lanlus case he was responsible for, the suspension of the fighting course, and the end of the “Hurricane Lieutenant General” Zilingus incident, Klein only had two things left to do lately, one was to check out the Red Chimney house, and the other was to track down and monitor Mrs. Sherron, so he was relatively free.
–Two days ago, he had received a letter back from Mr. Aztec, which contained only one sentence:
”I got the ‘Creeping Hunger’ and I recalled something.”
This made Klein finally sure that Zillinger was killed by Mr. Aztec, and finally sure that this amnesiac instructor with a long life was a high-order powerhouse, but he didn’t dare to ask what the other party recalled with the help of the “writhing hunger” because Aztec obviously didn’t want to talk about it – if he was willing to share. -If he had wanted to share, he would have described it in his letter.
In his reply, Kline, apart from his greetings, only reminded Mr. Aztec that the “creeping hunger” would crave the flesh and soul of the living, and that he must find a secure way to seal it.
In addition, “Justice” and “Inverted Man” has not yet prayed to him, but Klein is no longer worried about it, and understands that the two members are concerned about the possible existence of surveillance, and do not dare to recite the honorary name.
……
At night on Olsner Street, the gas lamps illuminate the flat road, and the Crimson Moon hangs high in the sky.
Klein, who had sneaked out of the house, used the balance and agility of the Joker to get over the wall of Mrs. Sheridan’s house without a sound.
Through the garden and to the side of the house, he climbed the water pipe and scuffed his way onto the second floor balcony.
This was a different kind of history-making for Klein, who had never succeeded in climbing trees as a child.
Pulling a tarot card from the pocket of his black trench coat, Klein inserted it into the balcony doorway and opened the latch with a flick of the wrist.
”The servants are very careless huh …… surprisingly didn’t add extra locks, otherwise I can only try to climb over the window ……” Klein wordlessly whispered a sentence and flashed into the house.
Based on the information provided by the gang leader, he easily found Mrs. Sherron’s bedroom, twisted the handle and lightly sneaked in.
Carefully closing the door of the room, he suddenly smelled a faint scent, reminiscent of the feminine blood-curdling scent.
Klein went into a bit of a trance for a moment, and even felt his body react a bit.
He whirled around and calmed down with meditation, secretly spitting out a sentence:
”This is using winks as incense, isn’t it?”
