Chapter 51 An unexpected investigation commission

【Shock! 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 best 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 already has an absolute advantage in the public relations hedging between the two parties.

The rumor that Chikako Ikeda was a shameless plagiarism thief had already spread based on one report by Goto.

What Fujino has to do next is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

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 stood up and walked past the bedroom 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 the Maru Group.

He came to Fujino this time not for anything else, but to investigate evidence that her thirty-year-old wife had a secret meeting with someone else.

Marudenjiro is already in his fifties or sixties this year, and his body must not be able to 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 above his head, and with doubts in his heart, he found Fujino.

He hoped that Fujino could investigate whether his wife had 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 him.

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 gave 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."

"snort."

Seeing the detective in front of him who was changing his face faster than turning the pages of a book, Marudenjiro couldn't help but snorted.

What is the bottom line of a detective? Under the temptation of money, he has not continued honestly.

…

[Detective Career Mission: Antique Collector Murder Case

Mission objective: 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 remembered this case.

The boss of the Maruden Group, Jiro Maruden is actually a moneylender behind the scenes.

People who came to him to borrow money would often sell their valuable items as collateral.

The reason why he was killed this time was because he sold the ancestral sword of a swordsman named Suwa Yuuji.

…………

In the evening, on the way home.

"Mrs. Maruden is very cautious in her actions."

Fujino was driving a Ford Taurus, murmuring as he recalled all the signs of investigating the lady during the day.

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 to 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.

The only way to investigate private meetings with others is to be skillful.

"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, with a cigarette in her mouth, lying lazily on the sofa and reading the shounen manga in her hand.

"Jingle 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 a look of suspicion appeared 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 look of weirdness.

Looking down at the shounen manga in his hand, he 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?"

As he said that, Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to destroy some criminal group again, are you?"

"Let's talk first. If you dare to continue to do such dangerous things, I will never forgive you."

She couldn't believe Fujino's lies anymore.

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 syndicate] 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 [the news about Fujino Touji’s heroic detonation of the bomb] in the newspaper early in the morning.

She was really worried at the time. Based on what happened before, she was really worried that Fujino was a troubled boy with a self-destructive personality.

I was dumbfounded by being blocked. God knows what banned words were triggered.
