v1 Chapter 119: "Thief"

Abner told Hugh before that he would take the "Destroyer" to the "Daily Observer" dance party. At this moment, I saw her as an official business, and didn't think much about it, and went with Judy. Stepped forward to register the identity.

Hugh glanced at Judy's signature, said "Roman" silently, and then handed them to the colleagues behind to lead them into the headquarters building of the Daily Observer.

The building has five floors, and the ball venue is set up in the lobby on the first floor. So when the two of Abner entered the door, they saw neatly arranged seats and the well-dressed people who had already arrived. guests.

Among them, women's dresses are mainly divided into two categories. One type of dress is either gorgeous or dull, both bold and open, and you can see the large white greasy chest and arms on both sides. The other type of clothing has fresh colors and is quite conservative. Even the interlocking bones are only faintly visible, or even obscured.

In the Loen Kingdom, this means the difference between married and unmarried. Widows and divorced women can choose between two dresses, but the color of the former will be as dark as possible.

In addition to these, Abner also saw shiny necklaces, exquisite earrings, and various precious accessories on the ladies. Compared to the ball held by the teacher and himself in the public ballroom, here The guests are obviously more magnificent.

After stepping into the hall, Judy left alone after greeted Abner to find the mission target.

Abner looked around and found that he knew very few people. Only a few senior inspectors of the police department had a slight impression. This was what he saw when the reasoning student followed the teacher to handle the case, and he was not familiar with it. .

At this moment, there was a voice coming from the door, and after many guests cast their sights there, they all showed their smiles and greeted them.

Abner looked there curiously, and then saw a middle-aged gentleman wearing an olive-green army uniform, wearing an orange ribbon, and a few medals on his chest, walking in with his wife.

——In the Loen Kingdom, officers on active duty or retired like to wear military uniforms at the ball.

Beside that lady, there was also a young girl in a sky blue dress. Her eyes were quite proud, and her eyebrows were somewhat bored.

Abner didn't recognize who it was, and only vaguely heard the "Mr. Senator" among those welcoming people.

"That is Congressman Maht. He once served in the army. After he was discharged, he joined politics. Starting from the vicinity of Backlund, he became a member of the lower house of the kingdom. He is a believer in the goddess of the night, a member of the new party, and supports the improvement of the atmospheric environment. Mrs. Liana, from a barrister family, has provided her husband with a lot of resources for politics, and she is also a believer in the goddess of the night."

At this time, reporter Mike walked over from behind Abner, saw his confusion, and happily introduced him.

Abner greeted this old friend who helped him boast a full page in the incident of "A famous detective went deep into the tiger's lair to rescue the young girl in bloom", and then looked in the direction of the door again and thought:

Congressman Maht? Is that the unlucky one whose family was turned into a "monocle monster" by Amon, who scared their daughter almost into a mental disorder?

So, that arrogant girl is Hajol who was accepted as a student by the "rat demigod" of Jacob's family?

Thinking of this, Abner couldn't help but look at the lady with long dark green wavy hair and bright dark brown eyes, but at this moment, the girl who looked like Hai Rouer suddenly turned her head back to the door, her brows slightly frowned. stand up.

Abner followed her gaze and saw Forsi Shiran, who was wearing a blue and white exquisite dress with intricate and delicate lace, walked in.

She was startled by the crowd at the door to greet Senator Maht, and she was relieved after seeing that these people were not here to remind her. Then she searched around for a while, found a long table with food, and then walked briskly.

During this period, Harou's gaze was always on Forsi, and he did not leave for a moment.

Abner frowned when he saw this. He remembered that there was an extraordinary item in the original Lei Hairouer that could help her sense and steal "valuable" things. She paid so much attention to Forsi, could it be that she was eyeing that one? A "travel" bracelet?

Perhaps Abner has been watching Hajol for a long time, which caused a misunderstanding by reporter Mike. He smiled and patted Abner on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That is the daughter of Congressman Maht, Miss Hajol. She is a very high-sighted girl. Many confident gentlemen have hit a wall on her. If you want to pursue her, you have to be psychologically prepared."

After hearing this, Abner regained his senses and replied with a smile: "I can't reach the top of the daughter of a member of the House of Commons. Reporter Mike, you can really be joking."

"You have a mentality like this. How can young people be aggressive and dare not even pursue it? What's more, you are Backlund's'hero', how can you not have the courage to pursue the girl you like?" Mike reporter said Shi has already mixed up with Abner very well, and can play a joke, so he smiled and urged.

Your voice is quieter, I don’t want to make headlines in the tabloids because of the lace news... Abner secretly complained, but on the surface he deliberately looked at Fors, who had already walked to the food area, to reporter Mike next to him. Said: "I think I have a new goal, so let's get out of it for a while, Mike."

...

Forsi came to a long table and reached out to fetch some of her favorite sweets, but because of the complicated structure of the dress on her body, she was not used to getting used to the corner of her skirt...

"It's over..." Forsi tried hard to adjust the body's center of gravity, but the sense of balance seemed to be suddenly lost and failed.

Seeing that he was about to pounce on the long table full of food, Forsi was full of chagrin, and it was a small thing to embarrass himself. If he ruined the dress Xiu's father left for her, it would be a real sin. At that time, although Xiu wouldn't say anything on the surface, she would definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart.

Just at the very moment, Forsi suddenly felt a forceful arm embrace her, and she quickly adjusted her center of gravity with the help of this external force and regained her footing.

"Thank you." Forsi thanked him sincerely, and then raised his head to look at the person who came, but was surprised to find that Abner was actually holding him back to save himself from being embarrassed.

At this moment, Miss Harouer, who was not far away, pursed her mouth in disappointment, and the steps she had originally wanted to go forward suddenly stopped.

"Abner, why are you here?" Forsi asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Because I became a'hero', I was a popular character in the "Daily Observer" recently. Isn't it normal to be invited? Why, didn't I tell you?" Abner joked on the surface, but Secretly, she used her eyes to motion for Forsi to let her follow her~lightnovelpub.net~ Forsi immediately understood, she rolled her eyes, and smiled, saying: "Xio will not disclose information about her friends at will. , Unless you get the consent of your friends."

Then, she deliberately talked and laughed with Abner, and then the two of them came to a remote corner of the hall while chatting together.

Harouer, who had been following Forsi, saw the two people completely disappeared from sight, and wanted to chase after them, but her mother just happened to ask her to go over and meet other guests...

In desperation, Haruer had to perfuse those people first, and secretly decided in her heart, after a while for the ball to begin, she would invite the man just now to dance, no...should be waiting for the man to invite him to dance. Do not refuse from time to time, and then ask him inadvertently about the specific identity of the girl.

...

On the other side, Forsi, who came to the corner, had not had time to ask Abner what was important and had to talk at the ball, when she heard the other person say:

"Forsi, you were targeted by a'thief'... It's better to change houses with Xiu after you go back, so as not to be thief at night."
