Chapter 19: A Transaction
The Blue Bird Bar is still lively, and it seems like there will never be a shortage of people. The redhead found a secluded table on the second floor, and the two sat down.
The redhead spoke first: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Xia Cheng." ”
Xu Changqing looked at the redhead. She has a tall and straight nose, gray pupils as deep as a lake, and short ear-length hair like dyed autumn maples. "Miss Xia Cheng, your Japanese is very good," he complimented casually, "I can't tell you that you are a foreigner at all." ”
The redhead smiled, "I'm from Fuso, born in Sapporo, half Lucia descent," she handed over a business card with the words "Karen, Senior Partner at Blue Bird Bar," "My friends usually call me Karen."
The next step was supposed to be a self-introduction, but Xu Changqing skipped it and got straight to the point: "I want to find someone." ”
Xia Cheng seemed a little surprised: "But you haven't introduced yourself yet." ”
"Kenjiro Shirai," Xu Changqing casually reported on his pseudonym when he registered in his short-term apartment, "and his profession is a private detective." ”
"It's said that private investigators usually use pseudonyms when investigating, right?"
"The name is just a codename, don't care."
"Okay, then according to the rules of my order," Xia Cheng snapped his fingers at the bartender, "Moscow Red Card Vodka, two bottles first." She turned to Xu Changqing, "You must win me at the wine table, this is the condition." ”
Xu Changqing nodded, and then secretly cast a boost resistance on himself.
Twenty minutes later, there were four empty bottles on the table, all half-pounded vodkas. Xu Changqing's face did not change. Although Xia Cheng also sat very steadily, his eyes were slightly fluttering. "You won," she gave a thumbs up, "keep drinking, it doesn't seem like I can fight you, admit defeat." ”
"So you can take orders?" Xu Changqing put Mariko Nobuta's photo on the table and pushed it to Xia Cheng, "I want to find this girl." ”
Xia Cheng glanced at the photo: "Look at the window and know that it is the Monterey Hotel...... Very beautiful girl.,The angle of candid photography is also good.,Photos bought with Nagaoka? ”
"Strictly speaking, it didn't cost anything."
"That's the robbery...... Hiccup," she burped with a cute little wine, "since it was the fat man who secretly filmed it, why didn't you ask him?" ”
"I asked, and he knew very little. By the way, this girl's name is Mariko Nobuta, and she used to be a train attendant on the Big Dipper," Xu Changqing spread his hands, "That's all the clues." ”
Xia Cheng took the photo: "Reply in three days, please prepare two million." ”
Xu Changqing raised his eyebrows: "Two million? ”
"That's right, it's already a super discount. Counting the compensation given to you in the back alley just now, and the special discount that won me by fighting wine. Three days later, two million, you'll know her address, her phone number, who she's with, where she usually goes, and what she does. ”
In his previous life, Xu Changqing plucked his hair for more than two million yen. But at the moment, he really doesn't have that much money. After emptying the savings of more than a year in Fuso, he overdrew 600,000 yuan, which was only more than 1.8 million. Since he started collecting Godhead fragments, he has spent **100,000 before and after, and he doesn't even have more than one million in cash.
You have to find a way to make money. After being reborn, he subconsciously still maintained the habit of spending money like water, and occasionally forgot that he did not have much money now.
It's not easy to make a quick buck. Work? Don't even think about it; Rob? At present, it is not enough to defy law enforcement; Buy stocks, buy futures, speculate on foreign exchange? I really don't remember the market; Buying a lottery ticket? In his past life and now, this is the investment he pays the least attention to.
Xia Cheng seemed to see a clue, and seemed to smile: "Not too rich? Now is a very lucrative job that suits you perfectly. Interested? ”
"Yes."
"There was a boxing fight between two clubs recently. One of the clubs is recruiting fighters. The appearance fee is 1 million, and there is another bonus for winning. In a best-of-five system, if you can win three games in a row, you will earn at least 10 million. What do you think? ”
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Do you have any information about the opponent's fighters?" ”
Xia Cheng's smile showed slight appreciation: "You are so cautious." ”
"It's just habit. I'm used to gathering enough information before making any decisions. ”
"Look at this," Xia Cheng handed over an iPad, "The information of the three fighters on the other side is in it." ”
Maybe it's a Japanese club, but the three fighters on the other side are all karate. A black belt on the first level of water, two three-stage and one five-stage. There was a row of records next to him, but Xu Changqing didn't care about those, and only looked at their photos intently.
The two third dans are both young fierce men, with thick necks, and the loose white robes with fierce muscles can't cover them at all. The one named Sakuma Tsuyoken is 1.9 meters long, and his fists are like small wine jars. The other Okada Hayato is shorter, and his muscles are not as exaggerated as Sakuma's, but he has a strong aura all over his body. It was mentioned in the introduction that he was known for his speed, and it seemed that he was taking the path of being fast and unbreakable. As for the fifth-dan Kume Maruzo, he was a half-bald uncle, a cut shorter than the two third-dans. At first glance, his appearance was not good, but Xu Changqing immediately noticed his hand. The hands were smooth and flexible, like knives. It is said that a master of karate black belt can cut ten sugar canes bundled together with one palm, and perhaps Kume Maruzo is a man in this way.
"The three of them are all masters," Xu Changqing asked Xia Cheng, "Winning three games in a row, you have so much confidence in me?" ”
Xia Cheng shook his hand: "Don't think too much, winning one game is enough for you to pay the bill, and the rest is earning." Since you can easily win the five in the back alley, it is probably not difficult to win the first game against Sakuma. However," her voice became solemn, "if you can't beat it, you can die in the ring." After all, it's an unlimited fight, and you have to sign a life and death certificate. ”
Xu Changqing closed his eyes slightly and did not speak.
may feel that Xu Changqing didn't dare to take it, Xia Cheng persuaded softly: "If you are really not sure, you only need to fight one game." In the second game, you can announce your abstention, and another player will come on the field. I think it's quite a big chance that you'll only play the first game. Come to think of it, I haven't had such a lucrative job lately. ”
"Boxing match, I'll take it," Xu Changqing opened his eyes, his expression was free, and he seemed confident, "Three wins are guaranteed, but there is one condition." ”
"Three games to win?" Xia Cheng was shocked for a moment, and then asked, "What conditions?" ”
"I've been given a place to practice these days, and I've got to adjust."
"No problem."
Xu Changqing stretched out his hand to Xia Cheng: "Then it's decided." ”
Xia Cheng stretched out his hand and shook him gently: "A word is a certainty." ”
