“Sir, money is not the problem. I'll talk to my colleagues about this. If they agree to take the case, we'll launch the investigation.” Then, he hung up.
Ryan stared at his dark phone screen thoughtfully. It's really not easy to investigate something that happened decades ago. But that was exactly the reason he thought of commissioning Mysterious yet Majestic to help him.
He had heard that the organization was capable of solving any case.
Can they really succeed where the Count's Mansion has failed?
At the same time, a typically inactive group chat that Ashlyn was in began pinging with a flurry of messages.
Quiet Forest: Someone is paying two million to investigate the case of Count's Mansion's missing heiress.
Flying Fish: Two million? Missing heiress from the Count's Mansion? Hasn't she returned?
Boss: Yeah. What's the point of launching an investigation when she's already back?
Lone Breeze: What's there to investigate? And two million? All these dumb rich people.
Helios: The Count's Mansion's heiress has been missing for so many years. How can they find any clues now? The case might be workable if it was less than ten years old.
Ashlyn could not help but frown as she read the message.
She was soon bombarded with a fresh wave of messages.
Lone Breeze: Hey, where's Zero? Why is he missing out on all the gossip?
Boss: He's probably asleep? It's pretty late.
Helios: Is Zero suddenly subscribing to a healthy sleep cycle? Haha.
Quiet Forest: Hey, back to the topic. Are we taking this case or not? We need to decide now. I gotta turn the client down if we're not taking the case.
Zero: I'm not asleep. The case sounds challenging. Let's take it!
Flying Fish: Fine. Let's follow Zero's lead. Who knows? We might actually shed some light on this cold case!
Quiet Forest sent an emoji followed by the message: Yup!
Lone Breeze: Fine!
Boss: I'm fine either way.
