Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#90 - Is it really just a meal?
The name "Leader" was well-known in the Beckland intelligence community. Furthermore, Odyss was escorting Hugh Dilcha for Military Intelligence Section 9 this time, so Cyril's superiors personally came out to greet him.
This superior was the Section Chief of the Operations Division, in his forties, somewhat portly, with a mustache on his upper lip: "Mr. 'Leader', please come in, please come in!"
Odyss raised his hand and said without needing introductions, "Section Chief Danesy, let's talk here."
Since they both worked in intelligence, even though they hadn't met, they must have seen each other's resumes and information.
He turned slightly and introduced, "This is Miss Dilcha. She received a commission from 'The Hound' to investigate the Bruce case.
"During the investigation, she encountered an assassination attempt for unknown reasons, so she asked me for help. I sent her here.
"Because of your commission, Miss Dilcha has suffered a lot of inconvenience. I have three requests regarding this."
Danesy, the Section Chief of the Operations Division, quickly said, "Please speak."
"First, this commission is too dangerous, the reward should be doubled," Odyss said.
As he spoke, he looked at one of Danesy's subordinates, a man in his thirties with short hair and a high Adam's apple, as if he had an egg stuck in his throat.
From the other person's expression and eyes, Odyss sensed suppressed anger.
But Odyss had never met the other person before, nor did he remember offending them, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
At the same time, Danesy immediately asked the people around him, "How much bounty was promised at the time?"
One of his subordinates replied, "The bounty given by the Mysticism Research Society was 20 pounds."
Danesy readily said, "I'll give 50 pounds."
Odyss added, "Second, tomorrow at noon, Miss Dilcha wants to treat me to lunch to thank me for providing protection. I hope your investigation won't affect our lunch, and you can't use extraordinary abilities to interrogate her!"
Hugh hadn't made such a promise before, but she knew that this was an excuse to get the people from Military Intelligence Section 9 to release her before noon tomorrow.
Then she began to consider: How should she thank Mr. "Leader"?
Danesy immediately said again, "I know what you're worried about. Talented people like Miss Dilcha, we are more willing to develop her into our informant and will not persecute her."
Odyss continued, "Third, for a period of time, protect the safety of her and her family as much as possible without affecting Miss Dilcha's normal life."
"That's for sure," Danesy said with a smile, "We may also find other clues during the protection period."
Odyss extended his hand and smiled, "Mr. Danesy, I'm very glad to meet you today. Your subordinates are all excellent, calm and determined. I think this is inseparable from your excellent leadership skills."
Danesy also eagerly shook Odyss's hand: "You flatter me. It's your actions that are admirable. I don't know how to thank you for your help today."
The two people shook hands vigorously like good friends for more than ten years, looking very close.
"Our cooperation has always been very pleasant," Odyss smiled and said, "All along, our respective goals have not conflicted."
Danesy nodded: "You're right."
"But the gratitude that should be expressed still needs to be expressed. I'll send someone over later."
"How can I be so embarrassed?"
"This is what you deserve."
"..."
After haggling for a while, Odyss finally said goodbye. Danesy immediately sent a car to send "Leader" off. He stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching the carriage drive away, and said to his subordinates, "Please ask Miss Dilcha to come in and give a statement."
After Hugh followed them into Military Intelligence Section 9, the smile on Danesy's face instantly disappeared. He said to his subordinates, "Upgrade the risk assessment of 'Leader', and send a higher-level investigation team to investigate 'Leader's' background."
He had just heard Cyril say that "Mechanical Heart" had issued "Leader" a powerful extraordinary weapon, and Military Intelligence Section 9 didn't even know what "Leader" looked like. Such a person must be given enough attention.
Odyss returned to 199 Hairun Avenue and, as expected, received "gratitude" from Military Intelligence Section 9: a "Good Citizen Award" and a 60-pound bonus.
He smiled and said, "This guy is really perfunctory."
Odyss had long heard that this Danesy was a person who was all smiles on the surface but insidious and cunning behind the scenes.
But he didn't expect that this guy would be so stingy!
After thinking about it for a while, Odyss asked the waiter to post the certificate in the most conspicuous place in the living room, and then gave each of the two waiters a bonus of 1 pound, and then used the "Teleportation Array" in the basement to leave.
Returning to the herbal medicine shop by carriage, Odyss first applied some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine to his chest. After feeling much more comfortable, he continued to make "Flame Arrows."
That night, he stayed at another stronghold, 176 Riverbend Avenue.
It seemed that Chipman's accomplices should be looking for Simon.
......
North District, 16 Ernst Avenue, "Nanmu Ballroom."
In the evening, Ms. Mandy, dressed in a professional suit and with a bit of temperament, heard that Earl Asibon had come to visit in person, and asked the waiter to invite the other party into the office.
Before that, Asibon's butler had come twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Mandy did not meet the other party according to Mr. Carr's instructions.
In the morning, when Mandy learned from the newspaper that Earl Asibon's house had caught fire, she was not surprised. After all, yesterday afternoon, Mr. Carr had decided to warn Asibon.
However, what surprised Mandy was that Mr. Carr did not ask her to issue a commission to extraordinary mercenaries, and the purpose of the warning had already been achieved.
Mandy had been thinking about this matter all day and was uneasy because of it.
The fact that she was not involved in completing this warning indicated that Mr. Carr was somewhat disappointed with her previous sluggishness. She had been reflecting on it all day. She didn't know when she had become somewhat lazy in her intelligence work.
This time, Mr. Carr's use of other channels to solve the problem was undoubtedly a warning to her!
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door, indicating that he had brought Earl Asibon.
Mandy came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and focused on dealing with Asibon.
In her opinion, Mr. Carr's decision to let her decide whether Asibon's matter should end here showed that Mr. Carr still trusted her relatively much. Of course, she could not fail Mr. Carr's trust.
Asibon brought a land deed. He said that he admired everything Mr. Carr had done for the women of Beckland, so he bought the large shop on the left side of the "Nanmu Ballroom" and gave it to Mr. Carr to express his respect.
Mandy felt that Asibon was very sincere, so she accepted the land deed and chose to reconcile with the Earl.
Asibon was finally relieved and could finally have a good night's sleep.
......
Wednesday morning, around nine o'clock.
No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is, one see!
Hugh Dilcha, wearing a knight's uniform, with messy hair, and a bit greasy from staying up late, finally returned to the apartment she shared with Fors.
Fors, dressed casually, had to rush to write today, so she got up very early. When she saw Hugh come back, she quickly asked, "Hugh, what important commission did you go to investigate last night? You didn't come back all night?"
Last night, Hugh had asked someone from Military Intelligence Section 9 to send a letter to Fors, but it was inconvenient to say many things. She only told Fors in the letter that she was going to do some investigation at night and would not go back.
Because this was not the first time she had a mission at night, Fors didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the environment when Hugh wrote the letter was limited, and there was no way to tell the specific content of the mission in the letter.
Hugh yawned and said, "Yesterday, I went to Military Intelligence Section 9!"
Fors suddenly got up, re-examined Hugh, and came over with a concerned look and asked, "You... are you okay?"
It is said that it is a department where private torture is rampant, and even the judicial authorities have no right to interfere.
If a wild extraordinary person like Hugh, who has no backing, is caught in there, there is almost no possibility of getting out alive.
Hugh waved her hand: "It's okay..."
She recounted her experience yesterday afternoon. To be honest, she herself felt it was a bit magical.
Being chased and killed by a Sequence 7 leading the team, she only suffered minor injuries, entered Military Intelligence Section 9 to give a statement, and everyone was polite to her.
"Leader"! All this was because of "Leader"!
It was "Leader" who repelled the Sequence 7 and escorted her safely to Military Intelligence Section 9.
It was "Leader" who helped her negotiate with the people from Military Intelligence Section 9, so that the people from Military Intelligence Section 9 did not use any private torture on her, nor did they interrogate her with extraordinary abilities.
Thinking of this, Hugh said seriously: "Thanks to 'Leader's' protection, otherwise this commission would have caused me a lot of trouble!"
Fors nodded: "Indeed, we need to thank 'Leader', but... but the 50 pounds bounty you earned, 'Leader' won't care about it, right? How should we thank him?"
Hugh said: "At that time, 'Leader' used the excuse that I wanted to treat him to a meal to let the people from Military Intelligence Section 9 release me this morning.
"I thought about it, let's treat 'Leader' to a meal."
Fors was slightly stunned: "Just a meal?"
"Otherwise?"
Fors glanced at her friend's flat chest: "That's right, your face still looks a bit cute, but your figure? Except for some perverts, no one will pay attention to you."
Hugh rolled her eyes: "Thank you for your compliment!"
......
Until Wednesday morning, Odyss finally completed the orders for "Mysterious Queen" and Klein.
In high spirits, he wrote a letter to Arie, the subordinate of the "Mysterious Queen," informing her that the goods were ready for collection at any time. He also prayed to "The Fool," asking Mr. Fool to "relay" to "The World" that the weapon he needed was complete.
Soon, "The World" replied, expressing the desire to complete the transaction immediately.
Thus, Audis sacrificed a brand new "Flame Arrow," along with a piece of paper recording the formula and process for making its bullets, to "The Fool."
A few minutes later, Audis used the granted ritual to obtain 600 pounds in cash, completing this transaction.
Audis was about to go out to buy some Finasport grilled fish or Dici roast meat to treat himself, but his pocket watch suddenly lit up again.
He immediately guessed that Hugh probably wanted to invite him to lunch.
Unfortunately, the character of "Boss" was, after all, fabricated. It was best not to go out to eat with others, as that would expose many of Audis's own habits.
So Audis took out a 5 Soli banknote and asked the shop assistant, Kaina, to buy grilled fish and roast meat. He then boarded a carriage and went to 77 Hilton Avenue, disguised himself as "Boss," and used the basement's "Teleportation Array" to meet Hugh.
