Chapter 51 An unexpected investigation commission
[Shocking! The well-known writer Chikako Ikeda is actually the ‘executioner’, the unspeakable secret behind the popular movie Cyan Kingdom!]
Early the next morning, Fujino sat on the sofa, looking at the newspaper in his hand with a speechless expression.
Needless to say, he knew whose hand this reporting technique was far beyond contemporary times.
The most awesome one is Goto. Apart from him, Fujino really can’t think of anyone else who can write such a title.
"But that company has spent a lot of money, and it moved so quickly."
Although Fujino has long been familiar with the power of large companies, from the perspective of an ordinary person, he can't help but sigh.
On the day it received the news, the newspaper had already started to use public opinion to hedge against the public relations of the company behind the Cyan Kingdom.
However, it is obvious that with Goto as a powerful member, the group behind the newspaper has already taken an absolute advantage in the public relations hedging between the two parties.
The rumor that Chikako Ikeda is a shameless plagiarism thief has already spread based on one report by Goto.
The next thing Fujino has to do is sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
As for what will happen to Chikako Ikeda in the end.
He doesn't know either.
It can only be seen how quickly those companies abandoned her as an abandoned child and how completely they severed the connection.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Fujino's thoughts.
Fujino was stunned when he heard the sound.
Is there another commission?
Thinking of this, he quickly got up, skipped the bedroom and came to the door.
When he opened the door, he saw an old man wearing a suit and looking "ferocious".
Fujino invited the old man to the living room, and after some understanding, he learned from his mouth.
The old man’s name is Marudenjiro, and he is now the president of Maruji Group.
The reason he came to see Fujino this time was not for anything else, but to investigate evidence that her thirty-year-old wife was having a secret meeting with someone else.
Marudenjiro is already in his fifties or sixties this year, and his body cannot keep up.
Just recently, he discovered that his wife often went out and always looked guilty when she came back.
After accidentally hearing some rumors, he suddenly felt a green light blooming on the top of his head. With doubts in his heart, he found Fujino.
He hopes Fujino can investigate whether his wife has had secret meetings with others.
"Mr. Maruden, I have almost understood your request."
Fujino sat on the sofa in the detective office and nodded towards Marudenjiro opposite.
After a pause, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "But this matter is a bit troublesome to handle. As a professional detective, if word of this kind of investigation gets out... I will be criticized."
"The detective is picky when accepting a commission?"
Marudenjiro frowned, coughed slightly, and continued: "If you are willing to accept this commission and investigate the evidence of that bitch's secret meeting with others, I am willing to pay one million yen!"
One million yen?
Fujino pricked up his ears when he heard this.
Originally, Fujino didn't want to deal with such bad things.
But Naihe offered so much that he simply couldn’t refuse!
"Since you, Boss Maruden, are so sincere, then naturally I can't refuse."
After a while, he took out a POS machine and showed a professional fake smile: "But before that, please pay a deposit of 500,000 yen."
"Humph."
Looking at the detective in front of him who changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, Marudenjiro couldn't help but snorted coldly.
What is the bottom line of a detective? Under the temptation of money, you can't continue honestly.
……
[Detective Professional Mission: Antique Collector Murder Case
Mission goal: Solve the case of the antique collector by any means
Mission location: Marudenjiro's house
Mission reward: five hundred thousand yen, fifty detective reputation points]
"An antique collector's murder case?"
After seeing off the rich man, Fujino stood in front of the balcony, looking at the system tasks on the light screen, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He remembers this case.
The boss of the Maruden Group, Jiro Maruden is actually a moneylender behind his back.
He often sells valuable items that he has as collateral to people who borrow money from him.
The reason why he was killed this time was because he sold the ancestral sword of a kendo master named Suwa Yuuji.
…………
In the evening, on the way home.
"This Mrs. Maruden acts very cautiously."
Fujino was driving a Ford Taurus, recalling all the signs of investigating the lady during the day, and murmured.
After a day of investigation, he did not collect any evidence that the lady had a private meeting with others.
This was within his expectation.
Generally speaking, people who have private meetings with others do not often have private meetings with their lovers. They only go out and try something new once every few days, after they have dispelled their suspicions.
As for how he knew.
It can only be said that the original owner has accepted many such investigation commissions for private meetings with others.
Investigating private meetings with others requires skill.
"It seems that the investigation of this private meeting with others will last for several days."
Putting away his thoughts, Fujino took out his mobile phone and looked at the notes in the address book: [Shizuka Hiratsuka] murmured, "It seems that I have to trouble her this time..."
In a high-rise apartment building.
Hiratsuka Shizuka was wearing plush pajamas, holding a cigarette in her mouth, lying lazily on the sofa and reading the shounen manga in her hand.
"Dingle bell!"
When she heard the phone ringing in the living room, she mentioned the comics and wondered: "Who will call me during the weekend?"
Then, she came to the living room and answered the phone.
"Is it Shizuka Hiratsuka?"
"Fujino?"
"Why are you calling me so late?"
She was surprised when she heard Fujino's voice on the other end of the phone.
Then there was a trace of suspicion on his face.
The troubled boy called me on the weekend, could it be...
Thinking of this, the suspicion on her face turned into a strange look.
He looked down at the boy comics in his hand and couldn't help but swallow.
"I have something to ask you."
She immediately replied: "What's the matter?"
"Actually, someone commissioned me to investigate a certain incident."
After a pause, Fujino continued: "If we go to school, the progress of the investigation will definitely be affected."
"Is it just about the detective's investigation?"
Saying that, Hiratsuka Shizu frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to destroy some criminal group again, are you?"
"Let me tell you first, if you dare to continue to do such dangerous things, I will never forgive you."
She can no longer believe Fujino’s lies.
The last time the boy asked her for leave, she agreed.
Then the next day I saw [a report about the famous detective Fujino Touji’s smashing of a criminal group] in the newspaper.
Originally, she planned to teach the guy a lesson when she went to school, but it ended up being delayed due to some things.
Then I just came back and saw [News about Fujino Touji’s heroic bomb defusing] in the newspaper early in the morning.
Chapter completed!
