I think it’s more likely that he knows exactly how much additional “investigation” (bribes, threats &/or torture) will be involved in getting the data.
If I were good enough to solve the case with a preliminary, he wouldn’t bother with a case this small.
One nit–and it must be minor since it’s taken me this long to notice it: in the first panel here and ‘way back on page 15, it looks like the throttles are pulled back nearly to Idle Power. Is that ship’s motive system that powerful?

That’s a very good point! I should have seen that!! back in page 15 I can say they’re waiting for a space light or perhaps a jump gate to open — but they should have made it past the light/gate by now, so you’re right, they need thrust to move! Corrected!
Are those NERF guns on the top shelves?
Obviously they’ve been upgraded by Billy’s dad.

Trina is telling Tirin her story about seeking to recover lost memories about a long-lost friend/fellow iMate named Genesis. Billy, Trina's boyfriend, has hired Dabney to help recover these missing memories. Dabney is the emotional mind reader, doppleganger first introduced in Chapter 13 who now works for Queen Shayli Vay of Saronia.
Billy was first introduced way back in Chapter 11 during Tirin's childhood. He was Tirin's boyfriend for a while. Billy purchased iMate Trina in Chapter 20 for companionship after Tirin broke up with him. Billy relates how he now works for Queen Shayli Vay as Saronia's Chief Scientific Advisor as well as why he and Tirin broke up.
An iMate is a super advanced android originally designed as pleasure bots, but their inventor wanted them to be so much more...
Dabney unlocked Trina's memories and Trina has replayed them out loud, much to Dabney's delight. Dabney takes on the form of Genesis so Trina can take a picture. She went to the iMate store but they denied ever having a unit like Genesis. As you may recall, Genesis knew how to "activate" imates to become independent (Chapter 25, page 19). Tirin thinks the imate store wiped Genesis's memory also to prevent her from activating or teaching others how to activate imates. Now Trina is relating to Tirin that she decided to hire a detective to find Genesis....

Mr Grey already knows exactly where Genesis is, and what has her, and is just trying to scam more money out of Trina

Wait, the Queen wants Billy to be an Eros Healer?
Since when has he been either of those?
Merceneiress
there is whole story / adventure behind that (Patreon only) — very steamy… been debating if I want to release that here (or perhaps Merceneiress Two…)

Trina is telling Tirin her story about seeking to recover lost memories about a long-lost friend/fellow iMate named Genesis. Billy, Trina's boyfriend, has hired Dabney to help recover these missing memories. Dabney is the emotional mind reader, doppleganger first introduced in Chapter 13 who now works for Queen Shayli Vay of Saronia.
Billy was first introduced way back in Chapter 11 during Tirin's childhood. He was Tirin's boyfriend for a while. Billy purchased iMate Trina in Chapter 20 for companionship after Tirin broke up with him. Billy relates how he now works for Queen Shayli Vay as Saronia's Chief Scientific Advisor as well as why he and Tirin broke up.
An iMate is a super advanced android originally designed as pleasure bots, but their inventor wanted them to be so much more...
Dabney unlocked Trina's memories and Trina has replayed them out loud, much to Dabney's delight. Dabney takes on the form of Genesis so Trina can take a picture. She went to the iMate store but they denied ever having a unit like Genesis. As you may recall, Genesis knew how to "activate" imates to become independent (Chapter 25, page 19). Tirin thinks the imate store wiped Genesis's memory also to prevent her from activating or teaching others how to activate imates. Now Trina is relating to Tirin that she decided to hire a detective to find Genesis....
