Suzuki Ayako held the teacup elegantly and replied:
"In the bedroom upstairs, Mrs. Hu Cang wants to see him if she needs something."
"Oh..." Suzuki Sonoko responded and sat on the sofa.
Then he slowly recalled Mrs. Tokura's strange reaction when they entered the villa when she faced Jiang Xia, and suddenly became alert: "...Bedroom!?"
She glanced upstairs, then again.
Then he stood up lightly and pretended to go to the bathroom. When he reached the fork, he turned his feet slightly and turned upstairs gently.
...It’s not that she wants to eavesdrop on the wall. She is just worried that her innocent classmates will be deceived by outsiders - I heard that the circle of rich ladies is very chaotic. As a righteous high school student, she cannot sit back and watch strange situations happen to Jiang Xia!
…
In the room upstairs.
Mrs. Tokura brought a pot of tea, poured three cups, and pushed two of them in front of Jiang Xia and Amuro Tohru.
Then she also picked up a cup, rubbed the silver tea cup with her slender fingers for a while, gritted her teeth, and said the entrustment that was difficult to express:
"It's like this. My husband is looking for detectives to investigate the evidence of my cheating... So I hope you can help me think about how to cover it up - even if I get divorced, I will at least get the Yoshida dyeing and weaving in his name.
Club. We are both detectives, so you should be very familiar with the methods used by detectives to investigate infidelity."
Toru Amuro: "..."
Jiang Xia: "..." The style of the wife this time is different from those of the wives looking for cats...
Seeing Etsuko Tokura's eyes resting on her, Jiang Xia thought for a while and gave an absolutely effective suggestion:
"If you cut off all contact with your lover from today on, and destroy the emails, letters, etc. that may have been there before, Ms. Gunda will not be able to obtain evidence - she has a certain bottom line and will not do that kind of thing for the sake of a commission.
Fee, fabricating evidence even if there is no evidence."
However, Etsuko Tokura shook her head: "I saw Daisuke Tokura's handbook once when he was drunk. He planned to hire someone to monitor him until evidence was found, no matter whether it was one year, five years or ten years...
I can't wait that long."
Speaking of this, Tokura Etsuko was silent for a moment, a little embarrassed to speak.
But remembering the extremely high confidentiality of private detectives... She was not confident or confident, but said firmly: "Actually, I already had a lover before I married Daisuke Tokura.
"But eight years ago, when I just graduated from college, Daisuke Tokura secretly made trouble for my father's company and forced it into bankruptcy. Then he came to my father's door again as a friend and said he could
To help us tide over the difficulties, the condition is that I marry him...
"If the company goes bankrupt, countless employees will lose their jobs. I have often gone to my father's company since I was a child. Those employees are like elders and family to me... So in the end, I agreed to marry him, and then...
"
Then she was unwilling to bury her love and married an old man who was twenty years older than herself, so she started a thrilling life in which she and Tokura Daisuke were a loving couple on the surface, but secretly they were still disconnected from their lover.
...Perhaps, living in a frightening environment all the time is one of the reasons why her mystery novels are so popular.
After listening to this long speech, Amuro Toru pressed her temples and understood what Tokura Etsuko meant - she didn't want to be caught with evidence of cheating, but she didn't want to stop cheating either.
"..."
When I hear this kind of request, I want to refuse it.
But the default rule in the industry is that private investigators should not be picky about their clients, especially if they have heard the client's privacy - unless it is too illegal, such as the client asking for a forged alibi for a murder, otherwise,
If you refuse because it "does not meet ethical standards", it is equivalent to turning away most jobs where useful information can be obtained.
——Clients also have their own small circles. Once an agency is labeled as "too busy", this reputation will slowly spread... Amuro Detective Agency can also be regarded as a documented intelligence point in the organization.
If any suspicious person in the organization hears rumors such as "Amuro Detective Agency has a high moral character and refuses to accept assignments," it will always feel very troublesome.
...If there are other entrustments, I can just refuse them directly on the pretext of something else.
But now, Tokura Etsuko just wants them to provide suggestions for dealing with other detectives, and it doesn't need to take too long.
Amuro Toru sighed inwardly and quickly came up with an idea.
——Accept the commission first and do it perfunctorily to ensure that Etsuko Tokura will not be exposed during the short period of time they are at Tokura's house.
After that, when the road was reopened, he left quickly on the pretext of an emergency and asked Etsuko Tokura to find other detectives who were willing to take over the commission.
In addition, Tohru Amuro thought about it and felt that this kind of immoral case did not fit well with Jiang Xia's painting style, and would also have an impact on Jiang Xia's reputation that he had managed to build... It was better for him to take the case.
He has no reputation anyway - what does Amuro Toru do have to do with him, Rei Fukitani?
What's more, because of his undercover status, he would have deliberately avoided being published in the newspaper. Generally speaking, in the eyes of the public, "Amuro Toru" is just a stranger, and he is very suitable for whatever he does.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro leaned back on the sofa, put his arms on the backrest, looked at Etsuko Tokura, who was looking at Jiangxia, and interjected like an experienced veteran: "I'm actually better at this kind of thing -
—You should have come to me directly just now."
Then he looked at Jiang Xia and started to chase people away: "You can go out, it's time for adults to talk next."
Jiang Xia: "...Oh, okay."
...I always feel like my boss has awakened some strange attribute. Is it because the plan has not been able to go smoothly these days? Is he too depressed?
He stood up and walked out.
Toru Amuro had just finished recruiting work when he suddenly felt that something was not right.
Two seconds later, he suddenly understood and grabbed Jiang Xia, who was passing behind him and heading towards the door.
...I almost forgot that he was monitoring this employee who was slightly suspected of being "Uzo".
Jiang Xia, who was forced to stop, turned around and looked at him in surprise.
Opposite me, Etsuko Tokura also looked puzzled: What's wrong?
"..." Toru Amuro calmly changed his words, "You'd better stay. Think about it carefully, you will receive similar commissions sooner or later, so it's better to learn from them in advance."
"..."
…
When Tohru Amuro summarized his experience in detecting infidelity.
In the hall downstairs.
After finishing his errands, Toshiya Tadokoro also sat on the sofa and sat around with the guests, playing poker.
Hamura Shuichi glanced upstairs from time to time. Finally, he stood up, opened the corridor door, and went to the underground library next to the collection room to check the documents.
Editor-in-chief Doi didn’t know what he had eaten. He suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet for a while.
——Except for Suzuki Ayako, who had been sitting on the sofa, the group of people dispersed and left for a while.
