Mystery: The Star Key
Chapter 72: 2 commissions
Chapter 144 Two Entrustments
"Mr. Hill, what are you doing this time?" Ian smiled and led Igna to the empty pool room.
"I heard that you are also selling information." Igna went straight to the tunnel.
"Yes." Ian nodded, as if not surprised Igna knew this. He asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Two things." Ignatius had already prepared a draft. "First, I want to know the information and behavior patterns of the residents of No. 122 Minsk Street, Chowood District."
Ian glanced at Igna, but Igna couldn't read the emotion in his eyes. The young red-eyed boy's Chengfu was deeper than expected.
I saw Ian nodded and said without much hesitation: "5 gold pounds, I will tell you in a week."
Igna nods, this is a very reasonable and fair price. According to Instructor Hugh Dilcha, basically in the black market, all ordinary people who do not involve "special" are at this price.
"Second, I want to know about the new socialites who have appeared in the upper class of Backlund since the last month." After thinking about it, Igna said the second commission and added, "I want to know Name, identity, the time she appeared in Backlund, it is best to have her past resume."
This time Ian Wright frowned and said solemnly: "Sir, although this commission does not seem difficult, it involves a very wide range of aspects. The amount of information is also very large. I can find this information for you, but it needs to be a long time."
Igna nodded and was prepared for this.
"50 pounds, one month investigation period." After thinking about it, Ian Wright also made an offer.
"Yes." Ignatius said.
This is also a relatively fair price. It seems that Ian Wright, as a black market businessman, also has his own code of conduct.
"Then, advance payment." Ian didn't show any indication of Igna's refreshment, but only extended his hand to Igna after negotiating the price.
Igna nodded, flipped a flower on his wrist, took out 20 gold pounds hidden in his arm and handed it to Ian.
"As expected of the person recommended by Detective Moriarty." Ignatius said.
Ian Wright was startled when he took the money, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled and asked, "Detective Moriarty has returned to Backlund?"
Igna smiled and said, "Maybe, who knows."
The slightly ambiguous answer of made Ian Wright smile too.

the same night.
Back to Igna at 221b, Bakersdie Street, Chorwood District, Backlund, and was cordially invited by Jennings Wenzer.
"Tomorrow I'll take a day off." Jennings, who had just returned home, announced excitedly before he even stepped through the door.
Jennings' work has been a little too busy recently, so he often has to work overtime and can't come home until late.
This Thursday, Jennings got a short break from the "ghost" case at the Third Hospital of Backlund.
"So do you have time tomorrow? We can finally go to the Expo!" Jennings asked excitedly.
Jennings was not overwhelmed by more than ten days of continuous work. On the contrary, because of the second day off, he seemed very happy.
However, Igna did not immediately agree to Jennings' invitation, but gave Jennings a meaningful smile. Then, at the same time, he took out his own crystal ball from the drawer.
Jennings immediately became energized when he saw Igna's actions.
He quickly took off his top hat, put down his cane, took off his three-piece jacket, undid his cuffs and bow tie, and headed straight for Igna.
Since the last time Igna showed him the wonderful use of the crystal ball, he was completely in awe of Igna's identity as a great writer, detective and astrologer.
Every time Ignatius had a horoscope, Jennings would come up and watch carefully.
"How about it, is it suitable to go to the World Expo tomorrow?" Jennings stood beside Igna, leaning over to look at the crystal ball that seemed to be shining with stars in his hand.
Igna frowned when he looked at the revelation given by the stars.
The result of divination made Igna a little puzzled.
The revelation given to him by the twinkling stars in the crystal ball was replaced by a Ruen language that normal people could understand—he had better agree to Jennings’ invitation, and the best time to go out was before eight in the morning.
Igna frowned at this strange revelation.
"Before eight o'clock?"
At other times, Igna did not have any opinion on the results of such divination. Going out early in the morning may avoid Backlund's morning rush hour and reach the Expo venue more smoothly.
However, the previous experience made him subconsciously keep an eye on it.
Any revelation of "time" in divination may have different interpretations.
Fit and Jennings are out before eight.
Is it because of what happens after 8 o'clock?
What can happen to 221b?
Adhering to the attitude of the person in charge, Igna continued to predict what would happen if he stayed in 221b after eight o'clock tomorrow.
However, the result of the divination made him even more puzzled.
Because of the revelation given by the stars this time, he will meet a person he wants to meet, or more specifically, a woman of similar age, related to steam and machinery.
With features like , Ignatius quickly took his seat. The person who will come to 221b after eight o'clock must be Melissa Moretti.
Well, this is very strange.
Why do the stars want me to avoid Melissa?
"What happened after eight o'clock?" Jennings, who was listening to Igna's meditation question, asked at this time.
Igna looked up at Jennings. Jennings' blue eyes were crystal clear, and there was concern everywhere.
"The divination revelation says we'd better go out before eight tomorrow," Ignatius said, "but at about eight fifteen tomorrow, I... an outstanding inventor I met at the Expo will come to us. home visit."
Igna thought for a while and changed to a more neutral wording.
"That inventor is a very polite goddess believer. According to her past practice, if she has something to discuss, she will send me a letter, or send me an invitation letter~www.readwn.com~ This is for no reason. The surprise visit was a little overthinking." Ignatius added, "So I have some doubts as to why the astrological revelation would let us go out before eight o'clock."
"As if she wanted us to avoid her." Igna frowned.
"You said 'she'?" Jennings quickly caught the point.
"That's not the point." Igna coughed lightly, "The important thing is 'Why did the stars let me avoid Melissa'?"
"Who is Melissa?" Jennings raised his eyebrows and asked gossip.
"Melissa Moretti, a brilliant inventor of steam and machinery, I invested in her steam model," explained Igna.
"So what's our problem now? You won't see this 'outstanding inventor' when you go out after eight tomorrow, will you?" Jennings asked.
"Well, and the stars told me." Igna said solemnly, "It's better not to see Melissa."
Gotta struggle, struggle to get another chapter over the weekend. (tears rush)
