Qin Zhibo's conditions surprised Su Fanghongzi, because although she has a large collection of masks, most of them are worth around 20,000 yen.
Even the high-quality masks displayed in the mask hall generally cost between 500,000 and 1 million yen, and no single mask costs more than 2 million yen.
Although Xiao Bol's Cursed Mask is very famous, it has a bad reputation. Most mask collectors dare not collect it at all. The value of a single collection of valuable and unmarketable items is far less than 2 million yen.
Moreover, Su Fanghongzi felt that Qin Zhibo should not be so brave and dare to touch the bad luck of this cursed mask.
"Since Mr. Qin insists on this, I can only accept it."
Su Fanghongzi had a look of helplessness on her face, as if she had been forced to give up her love despite the pain, as if she had been taken advantage of. In fact, she was already happy inside.
Although the various masks in the Mask Hall are all high-quality products, they are not unique and can still be purchased on the market.
The real orphans must of course be in a safer place
Qin Zhibo was neither humble nor overbearing and continued: "Since we both agree, let's sign a contract."
"Contract?" Su Fanghongzi was a little surprised after hearing Qin Zhibo's request.
Qin Zhibo slowly explained: "It's like this. According to the rules of the detective industry, when receiving a commission, you usually need to collect a 50% deposit first. But this time the reward is a mask, and it is impossible to split the mask into two.
Half came to pay the deposit, so it was perfect to sign a contract.”
"Is there such a rule?" Su Fanghongzi, who called the private detective service for the first time, was a little confused.
"Of course, Detective Maori is also here. You can ask him to ask. Our charges are the same."
Upon hearing that Mouri Kogoro was about to be called over, Su Fanghongzi quickly shook her head and said no.
If you ask Mouri Kogoro to come over, and you are not a good person, even if you hire Moori Kogoro, you won't be able to save a cent of 2 million.
Judging from Mouri Kogoro's expression before, he has no interest in masks at all, and he will definitely not choose a mask as a reward like Qin Zhibo.
"Is this a contract? I'll sign it."
Su Fanghongzi called her secretary over and asked her to draft an employment contract in duplicate.
The content of the contract is that Qin Zhibo will investigate the ins and outs of Mrs. Masaki Katagiri's car accident before the charity gala next week, and he can choose a mask in the villa as a reward.
The two signed their names and fingerprints on the seats of Party A and Party B, and the contract officially came into effect.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Dang lang~
The two sides clinked their red wine glasses to celebrate their cooperation.
Returning to the entertainment room from Su Fanghongzi's rest room, Qin Zhibo saw all the guests forming a circle.
Qin Zhibo walked up to join in the fun and found that he was actually watching Koizumi Hongzi and Nagara Haruka.
On both sides of the divination table covered with red cloth, Koizumi Anko and Nagara Haruka sat opposite each other, their eyes facing each other, with full fighting spirit in their eyes.
"What's going on?" Qin Zhibo asked Mao Lilan next to him.
Mao Lilan explained: "Miss Nagara Haruka gave my father a divination just now. Koizumi also wants Miss Nagara Haruka to do a divination."
"It's just a divination. Are there so many people watching?" Qin Zhibo felt that it was making a fuss.
Mao Lilan added: "Koizumi-kun said that if the divination results are inaccurate, Ms. Nagara Haruka will quit the divination world forever."
Woman.
Qin Zhibo couldn't do anything about Koizumi Hongzi's willfulness. After all, he was still her "slave" in name.
Since you can't afford to offend, just join the crowd of onlookers.
On the square table, after confronting Koizumi Anko for more than ten seconds, Nagara Haruka finally picked up the tarot deck in his hand and asked while shuffling the cards: "What kind of divination do you want to do?"
Koizumi Hongzi smiled slightly, with a provocative look in her eyes, "I won't make it difficult for you. Let's just look at the fortune for the next month."
The cold-faced Nagara Haruka was unmoved and unfolded the shuffled and cut cards in front of Koizumi Anko.
"Please choose three cards."
Koizumi Hongzi didn't think or hesitate, raised her left hand and chose three cards.
Nagara Haruka put the pile of cards away and opened the three cards one after another.
Nagara Haruka's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she said calmly: "Miss Koizumi, you will usher in a huge turning point in the next month. This is a key event. Seizing this opportunity will make your career and even your love win.
Come to a huge turning point."
Mao Lilan had some joy on her face and said, "Isn't that just like my father?"
Nagara Haruka shook his head, "That's not the case."
"Mr. Mori's divination question is about the next year, while Miss Koizumi's question is about the next month."
"Miss Koizumi's cards are Wheel of Fortune, Judgment, and Pentacles, which shows that this will be a huge turning point in life and requires teamwork to get through it smoothly."
Mao Lilan was a little confused about the interpretation of this card.
I have chatted with Koizumi Anko before. She is a sophomore at Ekoda High School. She should not be involved in major matters such as deciding on life aspirations, right?
Koizumi Hongzi, who was sitting in her seat, looked at the three cards on the table and felt a little surprised in her heart.
Due to learning red magic at home, Koizumi Anko actually went to school one year later than her classmates.
In one month's time, he will become an adult, and then he will officially inherit the position of the head of the Koizumi family of the red magic clan.
"Humph, this is your divination."
Koizumi Hongzi looked a little arrogant, and then said: "I also want to give you a divination."
Saying that, Koizumi Anko took out her commonly used tarot cards from her body.
However, because she was here to do other things today, Koizumi Hongzi spent a long time playing around without finding any tarot cards.
Nagara Haruka handed his tarot cards to Koizumi Anko at the right time and said lightly: "If you don't mind, just use mine."
"Thank you."
Koizumi Hongzi accepted the tarot cards and started shuffling them.
At this time, Nagara Haruka, who was very interested, added: "My question is the same as yours, it's about the fortune for the next month."
After Koizumi Anko shuffled the cards, just when everyone thought Nagara Haruka needed to draw them in person, Koizumi Anko took the deck of cards and started to draw them casually.
Mao Lilan: "Classmate Koizumi, this."
The corners of Koizumi Hongzi's mouth raised, and she said confidently: "I am different from ordinary fortune tellers. I can do magic."
"With magic, you can do whatever you want."
After finishing her words, Koizumi Anko took out the top card from the deck and placed it on the table.
When Koizumi Hongzi's slender fingers opened the card from left to right, a grim reaper holding a sickle and wearing a red robe was clearly visible on the card.
