Edward was a little embarrassed to see Jason again.
Because, the leader of the special operations team thought of his promise: 'The police station has a reward for the 'Serial Disappearance of Women' case, a total of 500 yuan, and I will get it for you every cent.'
But what?
Don't say 500 yuan.
He didn't even get a penny.
I didn't think of it before because of the consecutive things, but now that I thought of it, Edward felt even more embarrassed.
Especially after he regarded Jason as a friend.
Edward is not a man with many friends.
Therefore, he will not let down his friends.
Therefore, he tried his best to think of a way.
"Serving as a consultant to the Special Operations Group?"
Jason looked at Edward in surprise.
"right."
"Our special operations team has special funds. Although it is not much, it is still possible to hire a special consultant."
"The weekly salary is 12 yuan, and the additional subsidy is 3 yuan."
“You can also use the police station’s restaurant and dormitories.”
After Edward nodded, he added
“The restaurant is free?”
Jason captures the point.
Instantly, Edward started to sweat.
He once again recalled the fear of being dominated by Jason's appetite in the restaurant.
His hands seemed to have been soaked in cold water again.
The smell of dish soap appeared in his nose again.
However, Edward immediately told himself.
This is your friend!
You can't let down your friends.
"Yes, free."
"But don't waste food."
Edward gritted his teeth and said.
"Can."
Jason nodded, then turned to look at the female pastry chef who was listening to all this in confusion.
She didn't understand why Jason had to work two jobs.
It was obvious that Teddy had agreed to become a special tutor in the St. Mungo's Student Union.
Now he has agreed to Edward becoming a special adviser to the police department.
Do you want to eat in a different restaurant? Try different flavors?
Impossible?
Although Jason loves food, it is impossible for him to do such an unreliable thing.
Um!
I must be overthinking it.
The female pastry chef immediately showed a sweet smile to Jason. Jason restrained himself from putting his hand on the female pastry chef's head. He always felt that when the female pastry chef smiled, she would overlap with Denise.
.
Not the appearance.
But...a certain essence.
I must be overthinking it.
How come Denise and the female pastry chef are the same?
They are two completely different people.
Jason thought and asked formally:
"How much is the rent?"
"Um?"
The female pastry chef was stunned. She never thought that Jason would ask such a question.
Then, he shook his head subconsciously.
"No need, I..."
"A must!"
"I live here and need to pay rent."
"And...food."
Jason interrupted the female pastry chef and said seriously.
Seeing Jason's serious expression, the female pastry chef immediately came back to her senses.
She knew she had to quote a reasonable rent, otherwise Jason might leave.
But……
She has never rented out a house, so she doesn't know how much she should quote.
Just when she was anxious and didn't know what to do, something suddenly appeared in her heart.
The rent and storage room are 2 yuan per week.
Food is counted according to the quantity eaten.
"2 yuan a week."
"As for food, it will be calculated based on the amount you eat, Jason."
Without thinking much, the female pastry chef said.
"Um."
"This is for the first week."
Jason nodded, took out 2 yuan and handed it to the female pastry chef.
"Are you rich?"
Edward looked at the banknotes in Jason's pocket and felt bad.
Because, he could tell at a glance that the amount was at least 100+.
"Yes, I have."
Jason nodded again.
"But you're not a homeless person?"
Edward asked.
"Who said homeless people can't have money?"
Jason asked rhetorically.
"Then you still want me to invite you?"
Edward pushed up his glasses.
"It was you who offered to treat me to a meal. Moreover, I originally wanted to treat me back last night, but you told Little Banxi that you were busy with official duties..."
Jason said calmly.
Edward's movements froze again, and the palms holding his glasses trembled slightly.
"Director Edward, are you okay?"
the female pastry chef asked worriedly.
"fine."
"It just hurts my hand."
Edward smiled reluctantly.
His hand was stung by the ice water again.
When he thought about himself, who still had 50+ debts but worried about Jason who had 100+ savings, Edward felt that the smell of dish soap in his nose became stronger and stronger.
jingle!
Amidst the ringing of the doorbell, little Banxi opened the door and walked in.
At a glance, he saw Edward with a look of despair on his face.
"Captain, are you going to wash the dishes again?"
Little Banxi asked.
"No!"
"I've never washed the dishes!"
Edward emphasized.
He is trying hard to maintain his dignity.
And, he kept winking at little Banxi.
It's a pity that little Banxi didn't see it.
"Before that..."
"Is it to experience life?"
Little Banxi asked doubtfully.
"Cough, cough."
"What happened to Clive?"
After coughing a few times, Edward no longer struggled with the previous issue. He knew very well that if he continued to struggle, he would really lose face.
When the case was mentioned, little Banxi quickly put away his doubts and became serious.
"Someone's after Clive."
"But I'm not sure if it's that group of people."
"I highly doubt that guy was retaliated against by someone else."
"but……"
"Just now a homeless man gave him food."
"Someone feels pity for such a guy."
Little Banxi said, unable to help but shake his head.
"This guy is just a slutty little guy, not worthy of our attention."
"You draw other people's attention to the characters who deserve attention."
"David, little David is dead, but the person who poisoned the 'ink' is not dead."
"He will be severely punished!"
Edward said.
"Yes, Captain."
Little Banxi saluted, turned around and walked out.
After little Bansi left, Edward looked at the female pastry chef.
"Do you want mint lemonade?"
The female pastry chef stood up very smartly, walked to the corner of the counter, and gave the place to Jason and Edward.
"Feel sorry."
After the female pastry chef left, Edward spoke again.
The first thing he said was an apology.
The voice is very deep.
So that the tone became heavy.
Such a heavy weight is naturally not due to the bounty.
It's because he thinks Jason shouldn't have been dragged into such troubled waters in the first place.
But things have happened and it's too late to say anything now.
Therefore, Edward could only let Jason know as much as possible what they were facing.
After a slight pause for a second, Edward spoke again.
His voice was lowered. If Jason hadn't sensed people, it would have been impossible to hear those words——
