Chapter 124: Bringing you today

After returning from Hakone Town, Takato's life returned to normality again.

Although, in Gao Yuan's impression, there are still many unresolved issues that he encountered before.

Whether it is the letter of commission that Miyano Akemi is suspected to have sent to herself, or the further investigation of the clue mentioned by Kudo Yukiko, or simply the legend related to the disappearance of the legendary killer "Kondo" and President Iwaki, as well as Ninagawa Ayako The commission, even the content that Wakura Misa concealed from herself.

There are still no answers to many things, but for these things, Gao Yuan has encountered a more pressing problem than now - he is running out of money!

Without a stable source of income, living in Tokyo, and having to maintain the daily expenses of such a villa, the money Gao Yuan earned before can no longer last long.

Currently, due to money reasons, in this three-story villa, apart from the living room and kitchen, only the bedroom where I live is equipped with furniture and electrical appliances. The other rooms are still vacant - except for the one that was dug out In the study room in the basement, the bookshelf that was originally there.

Originally, Gao Yuan did not buy any furniture in the living room. It was last time that Suzuki Sonoko gave him a set of high-end sofas that looked very high-end, so that the decoration in this villa had a high-end feel - if, not If you go into those empty rooms and look.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan began to consider whether to go out and find some part-time work.

As a result, just as Gao Yuan was about to go out for a walk, he received a call from the director of the "Detective Mediation Office", Toro Kizui.

"Detective Akechi, are you free now? There is a detective commission that needs to be solved urgently. If it is convenient for you, come to 'Sandglass'."

On the phone, Kizui Fourou gave a brief explanation, and Gao Yuan immediately agreed.

The "Detective Mediation Agency" opened by Kizui Franzhi specializes in detective agency work. Gao Yuan also took over commissions there before and received remuneration.

Now, Gao Yuan, who was worried about money, faced a new commission to make money. Naturally, he resolutely agreed and immediately left for the apartment named "Sandglass".

When you walk into the apartment door, you can see a cafe.

Kizui Fourou was leisurely cleaning cups on the bar, while in the coffee shop, there were two young clerks, a man and a woman, sweeping the floor. After getting to know each other last time, Gao Yuan knew these two people. The boy's name was Yagawa Tu, and the girl's name was Makumama Makoto. They were both young people in their twenties.

However, what is different from coming here before is that today, there are actually customers in this coffee shop——

There were two people sitting across from each other at a coffee table.

Looking from a high distance, the person whose face can be seen is a young man in his mid-twenties, with clean short hair, tall and thin figure, and handsome appearance. He is a boy with a good appearance, but he is well-dressed. But he was wearing work clothes from a certain delivery company.

What made Gao Yuan somewhat concerned was the person sitting opposite the boy.

From a high perspective, only the back can be seen - looking at the petite figure, she should be a woman, but what is more special is her white hair.

It doesn't look like a wig, nor does it look like permed or dyed hair. It's just natural white hair.

"Detective Akechi, you're here!"

At this time, Franz Kizui at the bar saw Gao Yuan's arrival, showed a standard smile, and called Gao Yuan over.

In this regard, without scrutinizing the two guests, Gao Yuan came to the bar and began to ask: "Mr. Kizui, what is the commission this time?"

He didn't answer immediately. Instead, Kizui Fourou pointed to the coffee table where the guests were sitting.

"Today's commission is to help clear the suspicion of the unfortunate man sitting over there, named Yin Tate Ousuke."

Kizui Hōro revealed the contents of the commission.

"what happened?"

Gao Yuan asked, "What happened to him?"

"Just ask him directly for details."

Kizui Hōro said, and said to the boy named Gindate Osuke: "Osuke, the second detective is here!"

Hearing this, Yin Tate Ousuke stood up from his chair excitedly, looked at Gao Yuan, then bowed deeply, and said very politely: "Hello, my name is Yin Tate Ousuke! Thank you very much. Mr. Detective can come and accept my commission!"

"Wise and lofty."

After briefly responding to Gindate Ousuke's enthusiasm, Takato was more concerned about what Kizui Horou meant by "the second detective", so he looked at the white-haired woman sitting opposite Gindate Ousuke.

Now, from this angle, Gao Yuan can finally see the other person's face clearly - very unexpectedly, this is a young, beautiful and youthful face, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking like he is only in his twenties at most. How old.

When Gao Yuan saw this white hair, he thought it was an old woman.

Seeing Gao Yuan look at the woman with some curiosity, Yin Tate Osuke immediately explained:

"Um...this is Miss Kyoko Fusuki, the first detective I entrusted. But just now, after I finished speaking, she just sat there blankly and didn't respond no matter how I asked. So. As a last resort, I want to ask another detective to see if he can help me."

So that’s what happened, so I’m the second detective.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan understood what was going on. He looked at the four-seater coffee table, thought for a while, and sat down next to the detective named Kyoko Takigami.

"Then, Mr. Hidate, please explain your request in detail."

Gao Yuan said.

"That's right, Mr. Akechi. I recently worked as a temporary worker for a delivery company. I was mainly responsible for delivering goods in the area of ​​Miwa Town."

Yin Tate Ousuke began to explain.

"Yesterday, because the senior who was traveling with me asked for leave, I was the only one doing the delivery work yesterday, so the delivery arrived very late that day. As a result, on my way back from the delivery, I saw a person lying on the bed. There was no movement on the ground, there was a lot of blood on the ground, and he was dead, so I called the police at that time.”

Speaking of this, Yin Tate Osuke began to say with some emotion: "My life is always like this, tragedies are constantly being staged. No matter where I go, I will be plagued by bad luck and be accused of unwarranted charges. Just like when I was in college... "

"excuse me."

Takato stopped Ousuke Gindate from continuing on this topic, "Let's get back to the topic. So what you want to say is that you are regarded as the first suspect by the police?"

"That's more or less it. I spent the night at the police station last night, but because there was no solid evidence, I was released."

Yinateate Osuke said, suddenly getting excited, "But the problem is this morning! I continued to do the delivery work alone today. As a result, when I delivered it to a house in 3-chome, Yoneka Town, I found that the hostess of that house had been raped. He was killed at home! And that house is not far from where I found the murdered man yesterday!”

Morning? Is it only morning now?

Gao Yuan thought.

"So you came over to the detective without calling the police?"

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan asked.

"Of course I called the police!"

Yin Tate Ousuke said anxiously, "But there were murder cases two days in a row. I was worried that the police would accidentally regard me as the real murderer, so I ran here to look for Miss Kyoko's help. I hope I can be found by the police." I had to clear my name before, otherwise I would be taken away by the police again, and I don’t know how long I would be detained! But..."

However, this Miss Kyoko is in a daze now.

Takato glanced at the white-haired girl next to him and filled in the unfinished words for Ginta Ousuke.

"So? What exactly did you say that made Miss Kyoko become dazed?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Miss Kyoko asked me to recall the people and things I have encountered since yesterday and tell her everything in detail. But when I mentioned what happened when I passed by the convenience store this morning, Miss Kyoko started to be in a daze! "

Yin Tate Ousuke spoke quickly and felt a little restless.

"Relax! Don't be so nervous. Be specific."

Gao Yuan reassured.

After calming down, Yin Tate Osuke said: "This is what I heard when I went to work this morning. A man passed by me and was talking to someone on his mobile phone. I only heard him shouting: ' Ten yen coins are too few, I need five more." After I said this, Miss Kyoko became dazed! "

"Ten yen coins are too few. Do you need five more?"

After repeating this sentence, Gao Yuan suddenly frowned, and a very strange feeling emerged spontaneously, so Gao Yuan began to think deeply.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Why even Mr. Akechi..."

Seeing Takato also thinking deeply, Yin Tate Osuke immediately said anxiously, stood up, and walked around the store at a loss.

"It's so noisy! Mr. Hidden Hall!"

Suddenly, Kyouko Kyoko, who had been in a daze, suddenly spoke up and shouted to Ousuke Gindate in a bored tone, but her voice was soft and very nice.

"You interrupted my train of thought!"

"Uh...sorry."

Hearing what Kyoko Takigami said, like a child being scolded by his parents, Yin Tate Ousuke obediently sat back down.

At this time, Fushang Kyoko looked at Gao Yuan aside and couldn't help but said: "Are you also a detective? Sure enough, this sentence is very strange!"

"That's right. That's a very strange statement."

Gao Yuan said with unusual certainty.
