"There are really a lot of people coming..."
A lot of people have gathered in the banquet hall on the first floor of the annex. They are the guards responsible for protecting the annex, the maids who are constantly shuttling in the hall, the detectives in different costumes, and the luxurious and beautiful noble men and women.
These people gathered together, creating distinct small circles in the bustling banquet hall.
"Miss Mary, do you know any colleagues among these people?" Karasuma Ying asked as she and Mary found an empty dining table to sit down.
"No, I'm actually just a low-level detective with little reputation, and I'm not familiar with any of them." Mary replied mockingly, still wearing the pair of thick sunglasses on her face.
"You are too humble." Karasuma Ying replied with a smile, already having doubts in her heart.
[You claim to be a low-level detective but you can get an invitation letter from the royal family. None of the colleagues present know you... Your identity as a detective is very doubtful. 】
There must be something wrong with the woman named Mary in front of her, Karasumaying was already convinced of this.
Even so, because she still needs Mary, Karasumaying does not intend to take the initiative to dig deeper on this issue.
After all, no matter what Mary has planned, it should be something that has nothing to do with her.
Karasumaying knew very well that her decision to come to Andrew's Kingdom was very sudden, so unless it was her sister who guided her here, there was no possibility of her being targeted in advance.
Obviously, her sister would not be so bored. She deliberately led her to a distant foreign country, and then arranged for a mysterious person to be by her side to play this time-wasting guessing game with her.
From this information alone, we can make a preliminary judgment that there is definitely something wrong with Mary, but her problem most likely has nothing to do with Karasuma Ying.
The two are now cooperating and exploiting each other. Karasumaying wants to participate in this royal commission, while Mary needs an assistant who can cover her identity as a detective.
Of course, having said that, Karasumaying will pay more attention to herself. After all, she is a person with identity issues, so it is always right to be careful.
Although Karasumaying feels that her identity is not very good...
Just when Karasuma Ying's mind was filled with thoughts, the banquet hall suddenly became noisy. She looked back and saw a middle-aged man walking in surrounded by a group of officers.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, wearing a burgundy suit with a slicked back hair, holding a gorgeous and exquisite cane in his hand, and walked into the banquet hall step by step.
"It seems that he should be Commander Biluen." Mary said.
"Much younger than I thought." Karasuma Ying replied as she looked at Bi Luen who was walking to the podium.
She had always thought that the commander would be a grizzled old man, but she didn't expect him to be so young, compared to his position.
"After all, this is a country where nobles legally exist. This kind of thing is normal. I heard that this person is also a noble of this country. He is also the right-hand man of the current king. His status in this country is very noble."
Mary took a sip from the red wine glass on the table and said meaningfully:
"Of course, no matter how noble you are, you are only in this small country..."
While the two were talking quietly, Biluen had already stepped onto the podium. He adjusted the microphone slightly and began his impassioned speech in proficient English.
Just like most speakers in my memory, Biluen's speech was also filled with most of the nonsense that was nutritious but seemed to have to be said.
After eliminating these nonsense, Karasumaying streamlined a few key points.
The first is the commission from the royal family. Indeed, as Belinda said before, it is to help the royal family find the lost secret treasure of the kingdom, the blue sapphire.
But what was more detailed than Belinda was that Biluen was very convinced that the blue gemstone had not left the Kingdom of Andrew, so he asked the detectives to only search within the Kingdom of Andrew.
The reason given by Biluen is that the Kingdom of Andrew only has two customs offices, one at the kingdom's only airport and one at the kingdom's only train station.
These two places are the only places in the Kingdom of Andrew where you can go abroad.
However, since the disappearance of the blue sapphire, neither customs has found any clues about the blue sapphire among those who have recently gone abroad.
Therefore, Biluen was convinced that if the blue sapphire was really stolen, it must still be in the Kingdom of Andrew.
While clarifying the scope of the entrustment, Biluen also clarified the period of this entrustment - half a month.
Only the person who can find the blue sapphire within half a month can get the one million US dollars in cash as reward.
After informing the detectives at the scene of all the contents of the commission, Biluen ordered his accompanying officers to send a color copy of the blue sapphire to all the detectives present, and he left in a hurry.
In this copy, the blue sapphire is indeed as rumored by the outside world. It is very big, maybe even larger than the fist of an average adult male. It exudes a faint blue fluorescence and looks very beautiful.
Of course, Karasumaying, who has studied basic modern scientific knowledge, knows very well that this beautiful fluorescence generally represents a large amount of certain elements deposited in the gem.
I just don’t know which kind of blue sapphire is in it and whether it is harmful to the human body...
As Bi Luen left, the banquet hall became noisy again. The detectives they knew held the copies in their hands and discussed this royal commission in twos and threes.
Although the area of the Andrew Kingdom is small, it is still larger than the average small county. It is not unusually difficult to find such a fist-sized gem in a small county.
What's even more uncomfortable is that Biluen didn't give any clues except the appearance of the blue sapphire.
So with little hesitation, the detectives wisely chose to cooperate with each other.
After all, this is obviously not a commission that can be completed by one person. If you cooperate, everyone can share the one million US dollars. If you don't cooperate, I'm afraid no one will get it.
Of course, even if it is cooperation, obviously not everyone can do it.
Soon, the detectives in the banquet hall gradually divided into several waves, and some of them even walked towards Karasuma Ying and the two who had been sitting alone.
"Xiaoying, it seems they want to invite us too." Mary put down the wine glass, wiped her mouth with the handkerchief on the side, and said with a smile.
"Miss Mary, just make up your mind." Karasuma Ying replied casually. She took out her mobile phone to take a photo of the pattern on the copy, and then sent it to Mao Lilan's mobile phone.
She wanted Mao Lilan to help her confirm whether this royal secret treasure and the blue gem from El Pharmaceutical were the same one.
"Um?"
Putting away her phone, Karasumaying suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that a somewhat familiar figure walked quickly past her.
Chapter 2 is a little later (﹃) Then the boring guessing game comes again. Where did Shirakawa Qing go this time? (It is recommended to guess after reading the next chapter, hehehe)
(End of chapter)
