Chapter 37 Mieko Shibazaki's Commission After school, Fujino's house.
[Detective job task: Bandage weirdo incident Mission objective: crack or prevent the murder
Mission-specific countdown: within 24 hours of the event victim's death
Mission reward: 50 yen bounty, [-] points of detective reputation]
"The bandage man murder case?"
Standing in front of the balcony, Fujino looked at the new system tasks that appeared on the system interface, and there was a hint of brilliance in his deep eyes.
This case, if Fujino remembers correctly, should be related to Suzuki Ayako.
Suzuki Ayako founded a film club when she was in college.
After all members of the club graduated, the club members of the film club agreed to meet again every two years.
And this time the party was held at Suzuki's forest villa.
As for why there are murders...
All because of the popular writer Tomokako Ikeda who was also in the club back then.
Chikako Ikeda plagiarized the idea of a girl named Tunzi, and won the Best Newcomer Award that year for "The Blue Kingdom" written with the plagiarized idea.
Unlike Chikako Ikeda's future of becoming a popular female writer in the literary world, Tunzi, whose original idea was plagiarized, hanged herself in depression because she had no way to appeal.
In order to avenge her, Ryoichi Takahashi, who had always been secretly in love with Tsunade, used clever techniques to brutally dismember Chikako Ikeda at the party a few days later at the Suzuki family's forest villa...
"Boom boom boom!"
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted Fujino's thoughts.
"Is it the client again?"
Fujino was stunned when he heard the sound.
There are probably too many commissions on the weekend.
More commissions than can be accepted on a normal working day......
Putting away his thoughts, Fujino slowly stood up.
Walking past the [-]-square-meter bedroom, he walked to the door and opened it.
What caught his eye was a girl with a tuft of red hair in front of her bangs.
Fujino looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Excuse me, are you Detective Fujino?"
The girl spoke first.
Fujino showed a professional fake smile out of politeness and asked, "That's me. What do you want to see me for?"
"Hello, Detective Fujino, I was introduced by an acquaintance..."
The girl greeted politely first, then told how she knew about this place, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know if Detective Fujino will accept the kind of commission that finds out who the girl likes is? "
"This kind of entrustment..."
Fujino hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Being a detective doesn't rely on killing, but on being familiar with the world.
Every client has his own circle, and if the client is settled, then everyone in that circle is a potential customer.
The reason why the girl found Fujino was most likely not because of her fame, but because she heard about him from her friends in the circle.
To be honest, Fujino really didn't want to accept this kind of commission that smelled of love.
But after all, it was introduced by an acquaintance, and he was very polite, so let's get to know him first.
After all, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
What if this girl is a rich woman?
After entering the room, the girl first took off the peaked cap she was wearing on her head, revealing the non-mainstream red hair in front of her hair, and then explained her intention of coming.
The girl's name is Shibazaki Mieko. She is only two years older than Fujino. She joined the band after graduating from high school and is currently a guitarist in a popular rock band...
As a guitarist, she has always been secretly in love with the lead singer of her rock band: Tatsuya Kimura.
Just a while ago, she couldn't hold back her restless heart and finally confessed her feelings to Kimura Tatsuya.
But the result was obvious and he was rejected outright.
When he refused, the guy also said: I already have a girl I like, and I will wait until that girl comes back.
Heartbroken, Mieko wonders how she is no match for that girl.
That’s why I specifically found Fujino and asked him to find out who Kimura Tatsuya liked.
"So, Ms. Mieko Shibasaki wants me to find out who the girl Tatsuya Kimura likes is?"
"Yes."
Mieko Shibazaki nodded while listening to Fujino's explanation, "If possible, it's best to ask Detective Fujino to conduct a secret investigation without being discovered."
"I remember that Kimura Tatsuya was a very popular idol, right?"
"The commission fee for investigating an idol of this level is much higher than usual, about 50 yen."
"I will pay 50 yen."
After hearing Fujino's price of 50 yen, Mieko Shibasaki immediately agreed without any hesitation.
"That being the case, it couldn't be better..."
Fujino was very satisfied with Mijioko's cheerfulness.
Although she is not a rich woman, this girl is also a high-quality customer.
Fujino nodded and poured her a cup of black tea: "I will accept your request. I promise to investigate it secretly and not be discovered by anyone."
"I wonder when the commission fee will be paid to you?" Mijiangzi took the black tea and asked, "If it is possible, I can pay the entire commission fee now."
"No rush, no rush."
"As for the commission fee, one-tenth of the deposit is usually paid when the commission is made, and the remaining commission fee is paid after the commission is completed."
Fujino chuckled, looking at Mijiangzi in front of him more and more pleasing to his eyes.
"So it is."
Mei Jiangzi nodded, and then took out her credit card: "Can the deposit be paid by card?"
Fujino: "..."
This seems to be the second time, right? Don’t people carry cash nowadays?
"Ahem."
Fujino coughed lightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash, we will settle it together at that time, I believe Miss Mieko is a trustworthy person."
"Oh."
Mei Jiangzi nodded, "In that case, thank you for your trust."
Fujino watched her take back the bank card and sighed.
Then he said to Mijiangzi: "But there is something I still have to remind Miss Mijiangzi in advance."
"what's up?"
"According to my rich investigative experience, love investigations like this usually don't end well."
Under Mieko's surprised eyes, Fujino continued to say seriously: "After finding out who the person he likes is, Miss Mieko, are you sure you can accept the reality?"
Hearing this, Mie Shibazaki couldn't help but be stunned.
yes…………
She had not thought about what she would do after she found out who Kimura Tatsuya liked.
Maybe she will try to change...
But what if that person is someone she can't replace? As she thought about it, she clenched the jeans that hugged her thighs with both hands. The expression on her face gradually became depressed, and finally turned into a little lonely.
"Thank you Detective Fujino for your reminder."
Thanking Fujino, she made up her mind: "As long as I can find out who the person Tatsuya likes is... For me, I will be satisfied."
"If that's the case, then I accept this commission."
