"Yes."

The corners of Jason's mouth curled up and he answered.

For the 'door-to-door' person, even if the other party's motives are not pure, Jason will always give a tolerance.

It did not remove the [Koyafa Seal] in the room.

Jason just stood up and walked to the door.

When the door was opened, a man appeared in front of Jason.

Compared with the slightly old voice just now, the other party's face is well-trimmed, and although the clothes look simple, if you look closely, the material is not ordinary.

At least, Jason could tell, the clasp was sterling silver.

Leather shoes should be the kind that are purely handmade.

Rich.

This was Jason's first impression of the other party.

Then, there is exhaustion.

Even if it is carefully taken care of, the dark circles and tired look of the other party cannot be hidden.

Especially when the other party looked at Jason, the bloodshot eyes were dense.

Obviously, the other party has not had a good rest for a long time.

This makes the other party in a very bad state.

Even, the spirit appeared in a trance.

So much so that it was obviously the other party who knocked on the door first, but when Jason opened the door, the other party was still startled.

The other party took a step back.

Then, react quickly, it would be rude to do so.

"I'm sorry."

The middle-aged man bowed apologetically.

Jason frowned.

It's not because of the other party's rudeness.

It's that I feel that the other party shouldn't be a 'pawn' or something.

First of all, the other party's clothing shows that the other party should have a fairly good income and a fairly generous family background.

Second, the other party's way of apologizing without hurrying when he made a mistake is not a temperament that can be formed in a short period of time.

Third, the other party has not undergone any training and should have maintained some fitness and running habits, but has absolutely no contact with combat training or firearms.

Such a person should obviously be born in high society, and inherited the wealth of his parents, does not need to run for life, and does not have much ambition.

In the same way, such a person will not become a 'pawn' of others.

Of course, there are no absolutes.

Everybody has something to care about.

That's his weakness.

Start with weaknesses and the impossible becomes possible.

As for the absence of weaknesses?

No way.

That just means you didn't find it.

Therefore, after making a preliminary judgment, Jason remained vigilant.

After all, a professional actor may be able to confuse the real with the fake.

And with the power of the flower academy family, it is not difficult to find a professional actor in a few hours.

So, Jason didn't invite the other party into the room, just stood at the door and looked at the other party.

"Hello, is this Lord Jason?"

The other party didn't have any annoyance, just looked at Jason for a while, and then confirmed again.

"Hmm."

Jason nodded.

Then, Jason keenly noticed that after he admitted his identity, the other party was obviously relieved.

It was a sense of relief.

After that, the other party said very simply.

"It's wonderful."

"I've been here several times, but every time you're gone."

"Mr. Rock said that you should have received some big task and asked me to wait patiently, but something like that happened at home, I really can't wait......"

The middle-aged man said happily.

There's a bit of a chattering feeling.

However, Jason could feel that the other party was catharsis.

Catharsis comes from the fear of the heart.

"You know Boss Rock?"

For the owner of the 'rock electric' opposite, Jason has a pretty good impression.

Be enthusiastic and stick to your bottom line.

The new TV in his room is the best proof of that.

There is also the 'cursed video killing' incident, which is also proof.

Obviously, it is okay to hang it up without caring about yourself, but the other party launched an investigation.

"Yes, I used to be business partners with Mr. Rock, and this time something happened at home, and it was Mr. Rock who informed me of your existence, Mr. Jason...... Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, contemptible Uesugi. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man bowed again and took out his business card.

Jason took the business card.

Uesugi Distillery.

Winery?

Winemaking?

Jason thought, just to one side.

"Excuse me."

The middle-aged man said very politely, and then walked into the room.

However, there were no slippers in the empty corridor, which made the middle-aged man stunned.

"I don't have spare slippers here, please feel free."

Jason said.

The middle-aged man nodded, walked down the hallway, and sat down on the couch with a slight restraint.

"What is needed?"

"Coffee? Water? Fruit juice? ”

Jason asked, as he walked towards the window.

"Pure coffee is fine."

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man named Uesugi looked around with some curiosity as he spoke.

The place where Jason lives is so simple.

No fridge, no coffee machine, and no water dispenser.

How do you prepare coffee?

Just as Uesugi was thinking, Jason directly opened the window and shouted below-

"Hui Lijing, bring up a cup of coffee and a glass of water."

The voice is loud.

And with a pretty powerful sense of penetration.

Hui Lijing, who was figuring out the sword technique 'Thrust', could hear it clearly.

The tall female detective frowned.

No one likes to be interrupted when they are focused.

Hui Lijing is no exception.

But again, Hui Lijing believes that Jason is not someone who will bother her for no reason.

Coffee is the best proof of this!

Jason doesn't drink coffee.

Hui Lijing is quite clear about this.

So it can only be a guest.

And what kind of customers will come to the 'mask x machete x meat' office?

They are all people related to the 'mysterious side' and inextricably linked to the 'inner world'!

Therefore, Hui Lijing immediately returned the short sword in her hand to the sheath and pinned it in her boots, and responded with a little excitement.

"Got it, come right away!"

A female detective who has already come into contact with the 'mysterious side' and 'inner world' and has begun to come into contact with 'mysterious knowledge', at this time, the 'interest' in the 'mysterious side' and 'inner world' has officially reached a peak level.

It's as if an adolescent boy has mastered a certain skill and wants to show it in front of his beloved girl every day.

Licking a dog?

No!

It's not a dog lick.

To be exact, it's the peacock that opens the screen.

Under the stimulation of hormones, the people, things, and things you like will be filtered, and everything will become so beautiful.

And when the hormones wear off?

It's still beautiful.

There are both responsibilities and habits.

They stand there steadfastly, making you feel life like never before.

At this moment, Hui Lijing is like feeling the initial beauty, and it is also the most fascinating part.

As for after?

Now she hasn't thought about it that much.

After all, you can't expect a detective with dreams of being a barista to think so much after a military career and a few wanderings on the battlefield, can you?

Hui Lijing quickly appeared in the office on the second floor with coffee, water, and some biscuits and dried fruits.

After seeing Uesugi, Hui Lijing's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, there are guests!

And what is the mystery?

With a guess in mind, the female detective brought the coffee to Uesugi and handed the water to Jason.

"Thank you."

Uesugi thanked the female detective very politely, and at the same time, quietly looked at the female detective.

So tall!

Are exorcists all that tall?

Uesugi looked at Hui Lijing, who was standing side by side with Jason, and couldn't help but think.

"This is my assistant."

Jason introduced Hui Lijing's identity.

This is the identity of the two who reconfirmed after reaching the second step of cooperation.

With Jason's 'fame', the original premise was no longer suitable.

Hui Lijing did not have any objection to this.

She's just a newcomer, a rookie.

As Jason's assistant, it's just right.

"Hello, Miss Hui Lijing."

"Contemptible Uesugi."

There is no need for Jason to introduce the name, just now that voice has already let Uesugi know the name of the female detective.

And when the female detective who took the business card saw the text on it, she said almost subconsciously.

"You're the Uesugi that Boss Rock told me?"

"If no one has been so unlucky lately...... It should be me. ”

Boss Uesugi said with a wry smile.

Then, the middle-aged man recounted his own story.

The brewery owned by the owner of Uesugi is a family-owned business that dates back to the Warring States period and was even a prince.

When he said this, Boss Uesugi was quite proud.

But, right away, the boss sighed.

"But with the passage of time, the Uesugi family has long since declined, especially in my generation - I am an incompetent person, except for the only ancestral inheritance, I have no ambition at all."

"Thankfully, my parents, my wife, and my daughter didn't dislike me because of this."

"On the contrary, they were very accommodating to me, so I lived happily."

"It's just that during a renovation of the ancestral home about two months ago, something strange happened."

"The figure of a girl always appears in my dreams."

"At first I thought I wasn't resting well."

"But for a week after week, I dreamed of this girl."

"Then, my wife and daughter also dreamed."

Speaking of this, Uesugi's face became a little more sad.

Undoubtedly, this middle-aged man cares a lot about his family, his wife and children.

"What about your parents?"

Hui Lijing asked.

"It's a good thing that my parents have traveled off the island, otherwise they wouldn't be able to endure such torture at their age."

"I should have let my wife and daughter go with me."

"But my wife is worried that I have no one to take care of me, and my daughter is studying again."

"Ugh."

Uesugi sighed as he spoke.

"What does that girl look like?"

Hui Lijing continued to ask.

As a detective, Hui Lijing clearly understands what an assistant should do.

One person asks and one person observes, but it is not the prerogative of Ryosuke and Urashima.

In the detective world, such things are almost routine.

And Hui Lijing believes that Jason can see something.

Although Jason kept twitching the wings of his nose, she was a little puzzled.

It's not smelling food, so why twitch the wings of your nose?

"That girl can't see clearly, but she should be pretty, right?"

"Like a princess!"

"I can't see it, but my instincts tell me that that's it, and that she shouldn't have any ill intentions."

Uesugi replied truthfully.

"Oh?"

"What about you?"

Hui Lijing's words were not finished, but the meaning was already obvious.

If there is no malice, why are you here to find Jason?

Uesugi replied immediately.

"She's begging me for help!"

"Help?"

Hui Lijing frowned.

It was an answer she hadn't expected.

In her cognition, most of the things that happen in the 'mysterious side' and 'inner world' are victims.

Why did it turn over this time?

The existence of the "mysterious side" and "inner world" is instead asking ordinary people for help?

"Yes, help."

"She kept saying help me."

"But when I asked, she disappeared."

"It's like that every time."

"It's the same with my wife and daughter when they ask."

Facing Hui Lijing's doubts, Uesugi nodded and said with great certainty, and then, the middle-aged man stood up like this, threw himself on the ground, and said to Jason: "Your Excellency Jason, please save her and my family." ”

Hui Lijing blinked.

This time, the female detective didn't speak again.

She left it entirely to Jason.

This is the consciousness of a newcomer and a rookie.

It is also a valuable experience that Hui Lijing learned from the battlefield.

People who don't believe in such experiences?

Most of them will always maintain their status as newcomers and rookies, and then ...... Bullets pierced through the body, or shells shattered to pieces.

To put it simply, it's an experience that comes with life.

Hui Lijing will naturally abide by it.

"Hmm."

Jason nodded.

Uesugi raised his head in delight.

"Thank you so much."

"Thank you so much."

The middle-aged man said again and again, and then, bluntly continued: "That little girl didn't hurt us, but there was some kind of force that was hurting her, and if she was killed, it would be difficult for us who were in contact with her to escape the catastrophe - so, please don't think that I have any benevolence, I'm just just protecting myself." ”

"Therefore, please tell us what kind of remuneration you need."

Uesugi said, saluting again.

Looking at Uesugi with this appearance, Hui Lijing's impression of it has risen to a new level.

Really a polite and honest person.

She's seen too many guys who are so deceitful that they have to worry about every penny.

There are too few people like Uesugi like them.

Subconsciously, Hui Lijing wanted to help Uesugi speak.

However, the female detective wisely restrained herself.

"Take me to your ancestral home."

"After reading it, let's talk about the remuneration."

Jason ended the conversation with these words.

After the three of them left the office, Jason deliberately walked to the 'rock electric', and only got into the car when the rock boss confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the Uesugi in front of him.

Or Hui Lijing driving.

Follow Uesugi's car.

"Jason, you're really being too careful."

"It's worth learning from."

"Are you suspicious of him?"

The female detective naturally understood the meaning of Jason's actions just now.

"If you haven't experienced life and death, it's doubtful at any time."

Jason speaks his mind.

The female detective did not refute this.

She agrees with such words.

And just as the female detective was about to say something, she suddenly noticed Jason's gaze looking behind her.

Subconsciously, the female detective looked in the rearview mirror.

Immediately, she made a discovery.

Huh, stalker?
