Lady Hosoya, as the master, confessed, got up and opened the door.

Li Xuehao and his entourage were still sitting around the table, chatting while eating, but his six senses were keen, even if he didn't deliberately focus on listening, he could hear the movement of Mrs. Hosoya opening the door.

It was not known who the man was outside the door, but Mrs. Hosoya seemed taken aback when she saw the visitor, let out a low exclamation, and quickly closed the door, and she herself went out with the visitor, and stood in the courtyard to talk.

Li Xuehao didn't plan to eavesdrop, but Mrs. Hosoya's half-exclamation just now made him a little worried, so he listened a little.

"Mr. Aoki, have you found evidence?" Lady Hosoya's voice trembled slightly, nervous and excited.

"Yes, Mrs. Hosoya, I have found important evidence. A grown man's voice rang out, a somewhat low tone.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Aoki. Mrs. Hosoya said with a heartfelt gratitude, a slight choked voice in her voice.

Mr. Aoki said, "You're welcome, Mrs. Hosoya, but I used a lot of connections to find this important evidence, so I ......."

"So?" Lady Hosoya wondered.

Mr. Aoki hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes, your commission fee is not enough, and it cost me a lot of money for this important evidence, so you have to pay me a higher fee." ”

Mrs. Hosoya was silent for a moment: "But we haven't ...... already"

"Yes, we agreed on a commission fee, but Mrs. Hosoya, this matter is really beyond my expectations, and I didn't expect to encounter so many difficulties, please believe me, I am not blackmailing you, as a detective, I can swear by this in my name. ”

Perhaps hearing what the other party said, Mrs. Hosoya stopped arguing and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, how much more do I need to pay you, Mr. Aoki?"

"1,200,000, Mrs. Hosoya. Mr. Aoki said.

“...... This, so much?" Lady Hosoya was visibly startled, and her voice stammered.

"Yes, Mrs. Hosoya. Mr. Aoki said, as if afraid that she would not believe it, and explained, "I have absolutely no intention of blackmailing you, and this is the lowest amount of remuneration that I have calculated. ”

Lady Hosoya's voice was filled with embarrassment and despair: "However, I don't have so much money......"

Mr. Aoki said, "If that's the case, Mrs. Hosoya, I can't give you this important evidence. "It's heartfelt, but it's reasonable.

Mrs. Hosoya was silent for a long time before she asked in a trembling tone, "Mr. Aoki, can you give me a day?"

"Do you have a way to raise 1.2 million in one day? If you can, I don't think so. Mr. Aoki said.

"Yes, you can come back to me tomorrow at this time. Lady Hosoya said with certainty, and from her resolute tone, it seemed that she had made a decision.

"Yes, Mrs. Hosoya, I hope you will keep your promise, or I will keep this evidence sealed forever. Mr. Aoki seemed relieved, after all, it cost so much, and if he didn't get the money he deserved, it would be a big loss.

"Don't worry, I'll do it!" said Lady Hosoya earnestly.

This was the end of the conversation between the two, and then Mr. Aoki took his leave, and the footsteps faded away.

Mrs. Hosoya stood in the courtyard for a moment, as if thinking about something, then sighed and returned to the house.

Li Xuehao heard the conversation between the two clearly, he didn't know what the important evidence was, but Mrs. Hosoya was so nervous, it was obviously very important to her.

But that evidence will cost 1.2 million yen to get her hands on, so how can she raise it by this time tomorrow?

Judging by the voice and tone, it seems that Mr. Aoki has no intention of blackmailing, but really needs Mrs. Hosoya to increase her remuneration because of the cost of too much.

Mrs. Hosoya came in, although her face had returned to normal, her eyes were slightly red, and no one present noticed her changes, only Li Xuehao, who overheard her talking to someone just now, vaguely knew something.

"Mom, who's out there?" Chinatsu Hosoya asked curiously, just now her mother went out to talk to someone outside, and although she couldn't hear the sound, she was curious about who was talking to her mother.

"It's a salesman. Eriko Hosoya had obviously thought of the answer before she came in, and even deliberately sighed in order to prove what she said, "The current salesman is really hard-working, and he hasn't gotten off work at this time at night." ”

Everyone laughed it off, and they didn't pay much attention to it, and there were salesmen who worked so hard.

......

After dinner, Mrs. Hosoya prepared hot tea for everyone, and the snacks were not put out, after all, after all, after all, the stomach was still very full.

"Manaka-kun, the wardrobe in my room seems to be broken, can you please help me take a look?" While everyone was chatting, Hosoya Eriko suddenly said.

As soon as Li Xuehao heard it, he understood that she was looking for an excuse to say something to him, so he nodded and said, "Okay." "Get up and follow her upstairs.

Everyone present did not suspect that someone was the only man, and it was also appropriate for a man to help repair the wardrobe.

Following Mrs. Hosoya into her bedroom, Li Xuehao looked at it a little, it was a very ordinary room, the furniture was extremely simple, but it was warm, giving people a feeling that "home" should be like this.

"Manaka-kun......" When he entered the room, Eriko Hosotani wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Li Xuehao remembered the conversation she had with that Mr. Aoki before, and he already had some clarity in his heart, and asked quietly on his face, "Is there anything troubled by Madame?"

"I, I'm ......" Eriko Hosoya's face was very red, after all, that kind of thing, it's really hard to speak.

"Madame, you can tell me anything. Li Xuehao almost wanted to say it for her.

Eriko Hosoya "me" for a long time, and finally said it, but her voice was so light that it was almost inaudible: "I, I want to borrow money from Manaka-kun......"

"Okay, how much do you need?" asked Li Xuehao slowly, trying not to cause her embarrassment.

"1,200,000 yen. Eriko Hosoya said in one gulp, but then stammered again, "Please, please rest assured, I—I'll pay it back." ”

"Madam, can you tell me something?" Although he had just overheard the conversation between the two, until now, Li Xuehao still didn't understand what the specific thing was.

Eriko Hosoya hesitated, gritted her teeth and said, "It's about Yuji's ......"

Yuji?Li Xuehao was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, Yuji Yuji was her husband's name, Yuji Hosoya, the evil spirit who entrusted him to take care of Mrs. Hosoya and Chixia Hosoya before.

Eriko Hosoya continued, "I commissioned a detective agency to investigate Yuji's car accident, and I have found important evidence, and now the evidence is in the hands of that detective, and I need to pay 1.2 million yen to get that important evidence. ”

It turned out to be this matter, if it wasn't for Mrs. Hosoya talking about it, Li Xuehao thought that she had let it go, but she didn't expect that she would keep remembering it, and even find a private detective to investigate. She is usually gentle and steady, but she would do such a "crazy" thing.
