Chapter 76: Commission

When the morning light shines on the soft sofa through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, the slim woman lying on the sofa slowly stretches her body.

She glanced at the blanket draped around her body, and then at the cute red-haired girl next to her who had some baby fat and was sleeping soundly. She took off the blanket from her body and draped it over the girl.

In front of the sofa is a desk with a whole screen forming the desktop. The screen is messily painted with various pictures and written with various handwritings. It is the result of a whole night of discussion between her and the red-haired girl next to her yesterday.

A plan on how to use that one million donation to build a school for street children.

The woman smoothed her black hair and let the loose hair slide neatly down her shoulders and onto her back. Then she walked out from the gap between the desk and the sofa, filled the cup with hot water, and brewed a pack of instant coffee.

After mixing the coffee, she took the coffee and walked to the desk again, swiping the screen and admiring the results of last night.

Then she walked to the small desk on the side, opened the bag, and took out the books in the bag one by one.

"Ah~"

A comfortable sigh came from behind her.

The red-haired girl Annie rubbed her eyes and moved towards the back of the sofa, "Carrie, what do you think our school should be called? What are you looking for?"

"Looking for a book," Yi Jiali held the coffee in her hand and rummaged through her bag doubtfully, "I clearly remember what I brought back yesterday."

"What book?"

Annie rubbed her eyes, stood up in a daze, and walked towards the direction where Ikari was standing.

"The Fearless Morning, an autobiography written by the mayor."

Ikari said slowly.

"When did you read this kind of book?"

Annie yawned, leaned her head over, and looked for "The Fearless Morning" among the books that Icarly had turned out.

"I don't think so," Yi Jiali put the coffee aside, "Didn't you have a commission case before? Please let me help investigate the cause of his parents' death."

"Oh," Annie opened her mouth and tried hard to recall, "The young master of the mayor's family?"

"Yes, he is the adopted son of the mayor," Igali explained while rummaging around. "His parents died in an alien attack. Mayor Wente had not yet been elected at the time, so she adopted him on the spot when she went to visit.

He is older now, so he wants to investigate the cause of death of his biological parents."

"Didn't you say that the cause of death was death from a strange animal?" Annie blinked in confusion, "And now you even accept such private detective cases?"

"That's the official cause of death. He seems to have a different view." Yi Jiali also yawned. "He paid one hundred thousand in legal fees, paid according to the progress of the matter, and even if the final investigation comes out and the official result is

Likewise, his balance will still be paid in full."

"Oh my god," Annie opened her mouth wide, "How dare you take on such an expensive case at your level!"

"What do you mean by my level?!" Yi Jiali raised her eyebrows, "I am a J.D. from Chenxi Law School, okay."

"A doctor of law who took on seven cases in two years, earned 60,000 yuan, and sent a former employer to jail for twenty years?"

Annie said quickly.

"What do you mean by sending your employer to prison? When I sent him to prison, he was already my employer, right! And I didn't send him there myself, I just told my prosecutor friend about his crimes.

."

Ikari argued.

"So I said it was my previous employer."

Annie nodded.

"Annie, since when did you become so good at talking?"

Ijiali stretched out her hand and pulled Annie's little mouth.

"A little bit," Annie broke away from Icarly's clutches, and then she focused her eyes on the bag and books in front of her, "Carrie, did you forget the book in the car or didn't take it with you in the library? Still.

What does the mayor’s young master have to do with that book?”

"It's possible, I'll go look for it," Igali nodded, and then she began to answer Annie's second question,

"It's nothing. I don't know if it's a hallucination. The young master often feels that someone is watching him, so he made an agreement with me that if one day he has an accident and I can't find him, I will go to the library and read the book.

The only "Fearless Morning", he might hide the clue in that book.

Didn't I make an appointment with him to meet yesterday, but he didn't come yesterday and I couldn't contact him, so I went to the library to see if there were any clues in the book."

"So is there any hidden clue hidden in that book?"

Anne opened her eyes wide, as if she had discovered a child playing a treasure hunt.

"I flipped through it several times and found nothing, just ordinary books," Yi Jiali shrugged. "He also said that he might be hiding in it, or that he might just be grounded at home or have his phone confiscated. I originally said

I plan to borrow the book home and read it carefully. If it doesn’t work, I will go directly to the mayor’s manor to ask about the situation.”

She yawned, "Okay, I'll go downstairs and go to the car to see if I left it in the car."

--ten minutes later--

"No...Did you leave it in the library?"

In the dark car in the underground parking lot, the old and majestic man quietly watched the black-haired woman rummaging around in the car projected on the huge car screen.

This is real-time surveillance from a miniature camera installed in the other party's car.

"Boss, in the past four days, she has either been reading in the library or looking for clues about the alien attacks. Only yesterday she contacted the young master of the mayor's family, but after being unable to contact her, she didn't seem to do anything.

More moves.

It seems like she didn’t know about it, and the news about the mayor’s missing things probably didn’t get out.”

The driver sitting in the front seat turned his face sideways and explained slowly.

After listening to the driver's narration, Nadja closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the seat, "Then let's deal with it and let this matter end here."

"Okay," the driver nodded, put his hand on the steering wheel, and started the car, "Do you want the old administrator to deal with it?"

"Let's get together."

Nadja's voice was old and deep.

In the monitoring screen displayed on the vehicle screen,

After rummaging around and finding nothing, the black-haired woman got into the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and picked up the bracelet.

——

"Chenghui, a total of 1,800 federal coins."

Roger picked up the bill and smiled.

"One thousand and eighty?" He Ao stood up quickly, "Put some medicine on it, why don't you go and grab it?"

"You see what you said," Roger shrugged, "How can you make money quickly like this?"

"Let's put a zero on it," He Ao put on the coat he just took off, "How about one hundred and eighty?"

"make a deal!"

Roger didn't hesitate.

Cum again.

He Ao sighed, picked up the crutch beside him, clicked on the bracelet and prepared to transfer money.

Roger boredly picked up the bag he just brought over, took out the book "The Fearless Morning" inside, and flipped through it casually.

"Old man, the cover of your book is a bit thick."
