Lord of Secrets

Ubemo smiled a few times and nodded.

At this time, a beautiful woman in her thirties or forties came in from outside the door. She was well-maintained, but she looked haggard and her eyes were a little red and swollen.

Ubemo glanced at her and saw that she was wearing a yellow round dress and a brimless hat, and she looked a little anxious.

Mei Aina hurried forward and asked, "Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"

The woman hurriedly said, "My husband is missing, and I want to find a detective to help me find my husband."

Hearing this, Mei Aina immediately said, "Madam, have you called the police? You know, the police are more convenient and capable in this regard."

"I have called the police, but a few days have passed, and every time I go to the police station with hope, they tell me the same answer." The woman's eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "I heard that some detectives are very capable, and I hope they can help me find my missing husband. If anyone can If you can find it, I will give you a reward of 100 pounds. "

"Madam, please come here." Mei Aina took the woman to the reception room, then took out all the detective's information and handed it to the woman, and then said: "Madam, I recommend those gold medal detectives to you. Their abilities are obvious to all, but I don't know if they will accept it, because Baifeng City has been a little...unsettled recently, and they have already accepted other commissions. "

Speaking of this, Mei Aina cast an apologetic look at Wu Beimo. After all, although Mei Aina might take care of him a little, she couldn't do so at this time regarding the missing case because she didn't know Wu Beimo's ability.

Wu Beimo shook his head slightly, indicating that she didn't mind.

"What do I need to do?" The woman said hurriedly.

Mei Aina said patiently: "You need to contact them first and ask them if they want to accept this commission. Of course, you can also put this commission in the commission hall, so that other interested people will contact you. "

"But I don't recommend this, after all, it's a bit of a waste of time. "Mei Aina reminded.

"Time, what I need is time. I don't know how long it will take for me to contact those detectives. Every night I stare at the empty space next to me, and my heart seems to be missing a corner. It's extremely painful. I can't stand such a day anymore." The woman turned her head to the side and sobbed.

Mei Aina handed over a tissue, and the woman took it and wiped it. At this time, she saw Ubemo and asked, "Is he a detective?"

Mei Aina heard it and immediately replied, "He is, but he just registered yesterday."

"I need to see his information!" said the woman.

Mei Aina nodded and turned to the last page of the information booklet.

"Wandering detective poet?" The woman's slightly hoarse words were full of surprise and doubt.

"Yes, ma'am!" At this time, Ubemo came over and answered.

"I don't know if you can help me find my husband, but I think there is a kind of wisdom in your eyes. I believe you are a wandering detective. You have rich knowledge and may be able to help me!" The woman's eyes revealed a kind of hope.

"Is this a commission? Madam, I can only say I will try my best!" Ubemo said slowly, after all, he has been missing for a few days.

"Yes, this is a commission, as long as you can help me find my husband." The woman looked at Ubemo, and then couldn't stop crying and said: "Even if you can only bring his body, I will give you the money as promised."

"Madam, you can tell me the details." Ubemo decided to take this commission. After all, he has nothing to do recently, and the other party will try to help others if he can. If it really doesn't work, he can only give up.

"My name is Alyssa Halls, and my husband is Baijin Halls. He is the owner of the refinery. Just four days ago, because of the employee poisoning incident, he went to Baron Deyle to discuss how to lift the ban on the refinery. The kerosene has been shelved for several days. After all, it's not his fault. It was the employee who violated the rules and caused the kerosene leak."

At this point, Alyssa was a little excited.

Ubemo remained silent. He didn't know who was at fault in this matter, and he couldn't listen to one-sided words.

"What's the name of that employee and where does he live?" Ubemo asked.

"His name is Alende Hupar, and he lives at 36 Delina Street in Mihua District..." Elisa thought for a moment and answered.

Ubemo motioned Elisa to continue.

"After that, Baiyijin never came back, so I went to the police on the night of June 30th. But until today, it has been almost 3 days, and they just told me that my husband had lived in a hotel on Vilas Street in Nar District on the night of the 29th. It seemed to be called 'Ocean Hotel', and it seemed that he had never appeared since then."

"I can't stand the waiting time. That, that is too painful. We should have a happy family." Elisa cried again.

Nar District? That is already far away from the Goji District, and there is also the St. Anna Church in the middle. And if it is the murderer of the serial murder case, there should be bloodstains at the scene... So it should have nothing to do with that, then... Is it the poisoned employee, Baron Deyle, or someone else... Ubemo analyzed it carefully.

After accepting the commission, signing the contract and exchanging contact information, Alyssa left.

"Congratulations on receiving your first big commission!" Mei Aina said with a smile.

Ubemo sipped the already somewhat cold black tea, sighed, and said: "I don't want to accept this kind of commission."

When Mei Aina heard this, she suppressed her smile and said in a slower tone: "As a receptionist, I have seen this kind of thing happen a lot."

"I know, Mei Aina, thank you for your hospitality today, I'm going to get ready for work!" After saying that, Ubermo put on his hat and said goodbye to Mei Aina.

"I wish you good luck, sir!" Mei Aina quietly watched Ubermo leave, her smile disappeared, leaving a hint of pain, and then she looked at the blazing sun outside the window, returning to her usual appearance.

…

Next, let’s go to the hotel Alyssa mentioned, although we don’t expect to get any information.

Taking a public carriage to Vilas Street in the Nar district, Ubermo paid 8 pence.

After walking for a short distance, Ubermo saw the "Ocean Hotel", which was very maritime-style, with some shells and conches inlaid on the signboard.

Ubermo then entered the Ocean Hotel. There was no one there at the time. He came to the front desk and saw the waitress. Ubermo immediately asked in a low voice: "I heard that someone has disappeared here?"

The waitress was frightened when she heard this and said quickly: "Sir, where did you hear this from the gossip? This is completely untrue!"

Ubermo smiled slightly and said: "At that moment, your eyes were obviously full of shock. There are two possibilities. The first is that you are shocked. This kind of news will cause the hotel to suffer reputation loss and you may lose your job. "

"But..." Umbermora said in a long voice, "This is obviously impossible. The first reaction of ordinary people is the most real. If this is the case, then you should first be confused about the source of this news, and then Will think about the consequences.”

"Of course, if you had known it for a long time, you wouldn't have revealed any unnecessary expressions."

"So, there is only one last possibility left, that is, this incident really happened, but it was strictly forbidden to be leaked by the hotel owner." Ubermo finally said.

Looking at the stunned expression of the other party, Ubermo was very satisfied. He was not a professional, but there was no need to bluff people. All he had to do was to steal people's attention first, and then say a bunch of words that even amazed him, and the other party would be frightened. To, finally cooperate fully.

"So, can you tell me what happened? You know, I am a private detective, and I was entrusted by the victim's wife to investigate the truth." Ubermo showed a kind expression after seeing the waitress completely frightened. Said slowly.

"If the investigation fails to reveal the truth, then the lady may not give up. In the end, the matter will become a big deal and become known to everyone. This will not be good for both parties."

Ubermo was like a big bad wolf coaxing the little white rabbit at this moment, his words were full of temptation.

"So, let me investigate and find out the truth, so that you can also clear your hotel's name."

The waitress looked a little struggling, pursed her lips, then looked at Ubermo with her light yellow eyes, and said slowly: "I'm not sure, I just know that the guest came to check in on the night of the 29th. "

"He was wearing a tuxedo, a half-high silk top hat, and a gold pocket watch in his arms."

"What was his expression like at that time?" Ubermore asked.

The waitress recalled it and said, "With a hint of joy."

"Miss Waiter, please continue!" Ubermo continued.

"He just checked in for one night and said, 'Alyssa, our kids don't have to be like those kids in the ghetto.'"

Thinking of this, the waitress confirmed: "Although so many days have passed, I remember this sentence very clearly at that time, except for the name of the lady who may be."

In other words, Baron Deir agreed to lift the ban. What is his identity... Ubermo decided to investigate him next.

"After the gentleman moved in, he didn't show up until 12 noon, and then we went to the room to inquire. There was no response for a long time, so we opened it with the spare key and found that there were only some of his clothes and supplies. We originally thought that Bai Yi Mr. Jin may have been delayed for something, so we didn't rush to call the police. We didn't know until the police came to the door the next day..." The waitress was a little scared when she said this.

"Did you notice anything that night?" Ubermore asked.

"No, we closed and locked the door after 12 o'clock in the evening. There was no sign of damage until the next day, and no one asked us to open the door in the middle of the night." The waitress shook her head vigorously.

"Thank you for your candidness, Miss Waiter." Ubermo thanked her.

"I just hope you won't make it public. I'm afraid the boss will find out." The waitress whispered.

Ubermo nodded and said: "Of course, Miss Waiter, can you help me get a room for one night?"

The waitress pursed her lips and then agreed to let him in.
