Chapter 20 Come on, take care of me
Elm Street.
Sigmon looked at the nameplate on the street and sighed softly.
Liam's city was divided into many areas. The Yushu Street where he was located was the first to develop, and many merchants and nobles were concentrated in the early days.
Although the boundaries were later broken and the city changed, it gradually became popular with many emerging middle-class people.
In other words, this is half a wealthy neighborhood.
It is not difficult to understand that even if a woman is a woman and is discriminated against at work, lawyers in any world can be considered a higher-paid profession.
As a single, elite independent woman, choosing a neighborhood with good security is the basic operation.
As for the issue of being single, although Rebecca has not raised similar topics, Sigmon believes that he will never read it wrong.
No, it's a mistake.
After experiencing the White Seagull Manor incident, Sigmun was not only the abilities of the insight, but also very concerned about the improvement of another ability.
Now, at normal times, his sense of smell is much better than that of ordinary people, although it will cause some interference... For example, Sigmun suffered more torture in the stinky streets.
But most of them still outweigh the disadvantages.
More importantly, he can use his ability to activate his ability to increase his sense of smell in a short period of time, and cooperate with his observation to discover some details that are easily overlooked.
Nowadays, although Sigmun's various abilities have been improved, he lacks the quality to use this ability.
That is, the so-called experience.
And these should be supplemented from Ashley in the next time.
“Good environment.”
Sigmon looked around.
"Which floor do you live on?" When he saw Rebecca, he took the initiative to greet him.
"If conditions permit, I advise you to change the place."
"Why?" Rebecca looked unhappy.
"This Elm Street, oops, forget it, you don't understand, but you'd better ask if there is a guy named Freddy nearby." Sigmund half-joking.
This is his own evil taste.
"Freddy?" Rebecca seemed to be very concerned about her safety. She didn't say it, but secretly wrote down the name in her heart.
But she quickly threw the problem out of the way, instead took a step forward and approached Sigmun.
"I promised to provide you with a temporary residence, but you didn't tell me that you would bring other people!"
"A woman!"
"Women can't do it, men can do it?" Sigmun said with a smile.
"It's not a problem for men and women!" Rebecca raised the volume.
"When is it? Mr. Skinder will appear in court the day after tomorrow, but you will bring back a woman at night!" There was a little anger in her voice.
“Ashley Nova.”
The female assassin behind him stepped forward and spoke actively, and stretched out his right hand to Rebecca very formally.
"This is my name, I'm not the so-called woman, I'm a private detective."
"detective?"
"Woman?" Rebecca looked suspicious.
Double-standard monster, double-standard monster appears.
Sigmun pressed his forehead lightly, suspicious of others? But you are a rare female lawyer.
“Rebecca Stan.”
I don’t know if it was the blush of the sunset or why, Sigmun always felt that Rebecca’s cheeks seemed to turn red when she shook hands.
"Let's get to the point as soon as possible, I'm going to look at the case information."
After a few words, the female assassin took control of the situation and the three of them walked towards the door side by side.
“It’s very quiet.”
Looking at the two women who were vaguely facing each other, Sigmund had nothing to say. This was a four-story apartment. The three of them stood at the door for a while, and Sigmund didn't hear the voices of other residents.
"By the way, you haven't told me what floor you live on yet?"
"It should be quite convenient to have one more person now."
“Not many floors.”
Rebecca replied in a muffled voice.
Sigmun smiled and shook his head, thinking that the female lawyer was still feeling a little emotional because of what happened just now, but then Rebecca's answer made him messy in an instant.
"I live in these four floors."
"You rented four floors, all the rooms?!"
Sigmun opened his mouth. Even for personal safety, it would be too hard.
“Not.”
"Then how many rooms did you rent?"
“I bought it.”
"Buy...buy it!?"
This time even Ashley was watching.
The historical process of this world is somewhat similar to that of Europe in the 19th century, but due to its extraordinary power, it is exaggerated in many details.
But generally speaking, prices and assets are still based on reference.
For example, real estate.
Although Liam City cannot be compared with the capital Abetus, it is a harbour city after all, with many merchants moving. Compared with other cities of the same size, the property value here is higher.
Although Sigmun also had a housemate not long ago, their houses, regardless of the terrain, decoration and scale of their houses cannot be compared with here.
An apartment.
Good guy.
Referring to Lawrence's salary, Sigmon originally planned to calculate how long it would take to afford such a property.
But he gave up soon.
because……
"In addition to this building, the two buildings next to it are, too."
Rebecca said expressionlessly.
A trace of undetectable pride flashed across the corner of the female lawyer's eyes. It was obvious that seeing Sigmun and Ashley's surprise also made her a little happy.
Aunt……
No, it’s my sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore.
The rich man is by my side, but the clown is actually me.
"Why do you still have to be a lawyer with so much money?"
Rebecca is young and has extremely limited social experience, so these assets naturally cannot be derived from themselves.
It seems that even in another world, I can't escape the law of fighting for my father.
"Does this matter?"
"Being a lawyer is my ambition, and in addition, I also want to train more female lawyers like me!"
Sigmun nodded, everyone was accustomed to these views in the era when he lived. But in the Kingdom of Eland, there were too few women like Rebecca.
Relatively speaking, from the 19th century London, female assassins should be more likely to approve of Rebecca's ideas.
When she entered the apartment, the decoration inside was very simple. According to Rebecca, she seemed to have plans to rent these vacant rooms for free or at extremely low prices to women who wanted to study.
Listening to her enthusiastic introductions and grand prospects, Sigmund gained a deeper understanding of this strong female lawyer.
"The information is here."
Entering the study, the table was spread out on the case information that Rebecca had prepared. Her room was very neat and did not have too many unnecessary decorations. One wall was covered with case entries of all sizes, and the other was a complete map of Liam Harbour.
It even includes some surrounding towns.
The two of them stepped forward and read it quickly. He was sorting out the case information, but the female assassin next to him took out one of the photos and looked at them thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" Sigmun asked.
"This photo...is wrong, it's because there's something wrong with the dagger in the photo."
Sigmun took the photo and recognized it at a glance as the self-defense dagger that Lawrence often carried.
"What's the problem?" he asked hurriedly.
Unexpectedly, before Ashley had completely sorted out the entire case, she seemed to have found a major clue through just one photo.
Chapter completed!
