Chapter 27 Meeting La Soya Again

Miss Mia Gold, the owner of the small orange cat, was not at home. Shard stood outside the fence door and rang the bell for a while, and no one came out to open the door.

But this voice alarmed the neighbor next door, an old woman with glasses who was stooping to walk, her gray hair neatly combed together, well-dressed, and wearing silver jewelry on her wrist:

"Who are you looking for?"

With a heavy accent, she asked while standing in front of the fence of her own garden and Miss Gothe's garden.

"Miss Mia Gold, she commissioned us to find her cat."

Xia De also shook the cat in his arms, the orange cat meowed lazily, turned over and put his head on Xia De's chest, this cat really likes Xia De.

And even though the half-year-old orange cat is not heavy, but walking all the way with it, Xia De can't stand it anymore.

"It's it, this naughty little thing."

The old woman obviously knew the orange cat Mia, and then said something that made Xia De almost collapse:

"Mia moved out last week."

"Ok?"

Fortunately, there is another sentence:
"Are you Detective Hamilton who got her cat? You're much younger than Mia describes, don't worry, she left you a letter."

After speaking, he turned around and went back to his house to get the letter, and when he came back he said:

"There are some notes in the letter, check the wax seal before you open it, and don't say anyone has moved the money."

The letter was left by Miss Mia Gold to Detective Sparrow Hamilton. It mentioned that Miss Gold would move to a large manor in the countryside on the east coast of the Kingdom of Delarion because of family affairs, and share the same family with her parents. to live, so sold the property here.

But Miss Gothe still remembers her cat and the entrusted detective. Without confirming whether the detective found the cat, she left this letter for the neighbors to keep. If the detective finds the cat, you can get this letter:

[I can't forget my Mia, but it's really time to leave Tobesque.Detective Hamilton, if you see this letter, please keep Mia temporarily and send a letter to the address below. I will pick her up at your office within six months at the latest.At that time, more remuneration will be paid.

Note: In addition to the original detective fee, there is an additional five-pound note in the letter, as the cost of temporarily sheltering Mia, please don't criticize my little naughty too much. 】

The orange cat known as "Miya" wriggled in Xia De's arms and seemed to want to sleep, unaware of the fact that his master had left.

"why."

"I'm allergic to cats, and Mia can't find anyone else to take care of her cats, and she didn't expect you to find Mia."

The old woman said that she had not seen Sparrow Hamilton and recognized the young detective in front of her as the original detective.

"Then I."

"You can adopt Mia temporarily. When Mia finds it, she will not give you less money. You see, she even took the cat's name as her own."

"You are not."

"Mia dictated the contents of this letter before she left. Hmph, I have been neighbors with her for so long, can't she give me such trust?"

"Okay, I'll send the letter right now. Bye, ma'am."

Shade had some doubts that the old woman could read minds.

"Goodbye, detective. Remember, this cat can't drink cow's milk, but she can drink goat's milk."

The old woman's voice came from behind, and Shade's expenses increased again.

Detective Sparrow Hamilton and Miss Mia Gold have known each other for a long time, and this is not the first commissioned incident, so Miss Gold has given the detective a lot of trust.

This trust gave Xia De a job of taking care of cats, and increased his savings by more than seven pounds. Miss Gothe was really generous.

With the remaining money from the pawn cane, it seems that Shade will be able to collect ten pounds soon.And if luck is better, Miss Gothe can receive the letter and rush over within a week, and Xia De may be able to pay off all the arrears for this month directly.

Because of this good mood, when I walked back to Saint Derain Square with the cat in my arms, my footsteps became a lot lighter.On the way back, I just passed the Silver Parrot Milk Delivery Company, which I visited not long ago, so I went in and asked, and learned that goat milk can also be delivered here.

The salesman in charge of contacting Xia De even saw Xia De's attempt to feed the kittens with goat's milk, and therefore introduced him more cat raising skills.But his enthusiasm did not make Shade give in on the money for ordering goat milk. Fortunately, at No. 6 St. Teresa Square in the city center, he is the industrious milkman of the Silver Parrot Milk Distribution Company, the only way to go every day. .

Therefore, there is no need to open up additional routes and detours for Shade distribution, so the cost of goat milk is actually less than expected.

Xia De regarded the orange cat "Xiaomiya" as his lucky cat. When he left "Silver Parrot Milk Delivery Company", he was still thinking that he could have a little extravagance at noon and eat some better food.

Just passing by the old dog lying at the door, the voice of a woman who had not made a sound until today finally sounded in her head:
[Observe her ring. 】

He immediately looked up and looked around, and almost a second later, he saw Mrs. Lawrence's mistress, Mrs. La Soya, walking out of the alley across from the milk company, and turned in the direction of the silverware store where the battle took place the day before.

She still wore the white pebble ring.

"Is she male to female, or female to male?"

Xia De guessed in his heart, but he had no intention of following.He cherishes his life, and since he has decided to give up this commission, he will not change his mind because of curiosity.

If he had the power of Doctor Schneider or Miss Dorothy Louisa, of course he would not give up.But people have to face the reality, he accepts that he is still weak.

With a happy mood, I walked leisurely across the street with the cat in my arms and entered the candy store opposite.Pretending to be curious, he inquired about the price of the small cakes in the glass window. After confirming that Mrs. La Soya was far away, she immediately walked out of the store and entered the alley where Mrs. La Soya appeared just now.

The alley is not deep, like most of the alleys in this steam city, dirty and full of odor.After a few quick walks, we came to the end, where some abandoned pipes were stacked, and there was even a layer of disgusting green moss on the surface of the pipes.

But after bypassing the pipeline, I saw that there is a wall behind the pipeline, which is a dead end.

It was supposed to be able to reach another block from the other end of the alley, but the store at the other end of the exit expanded its area without authorization, and blocked the alley with the back wall.

"Between this pile of pipes and the wall, there is an excellent blind spot for vision. Mrs. La Soya just walked out of the alley with no exit. Did she complete another 'transformation' to kiss the ring here?"

Xia De thought, very satisfied with his prudence and strong action.Although he didn't dare to keep up, it was no problem to investigate what the other party just did.
