How's that going with what you promised me?

Hearing the words of the café owner, Jason was still eating in the wind on the surface, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.

Acquaintances again!

And it's an acquaintance who is more troublesome than the owner of an electrical appliance store!

It was clear that the owner of the appliance store was just nodding his head and was not familiar with his 'identity'.

But what about the female boss in front of you?

It should be fairly familiar.

Not only the words just now, but also the two sides themselves are upstairs and downstairs neighbors.

How should I answer so that I don't show flaws?

Jason's mind was spinning, but the speed at which he ate was getting faster and faster.

Drag!

Or rather waiting.

It's not the best option, but it's Jason's safest choice.

And, thankfully, the food in front of him made Jason's 'reason' quite legitimate and reasonable.

Looking at Jason, who was eating food one bite at a time, the female owner of the café frowned and subconsciously opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, just turned around and returned to the bar, and after taking out a piece of paper from the drawer on the side of the bar, the other party returned again.

Placing the paper on the table, the landlady stared at Jason.

The paper was full of words, to the effect that Jason accepted the commission of the female boss Hui Lijing to find Hui Lijing's sister Hui Lixiang, and as a reward, the second floor of the White Bear Coffee House was rented to Jason for free for one year.

At the bottom are the signatures of both parties, as well as the handprints.

"You don't want to pay off, do you?"

The female boss who was staring at Jason asked.

"Information!"

"I need more information!"

Jason chewed his food and said with some slurred speech.

He didn't answer.

When he doesn't know the specific situation, answering the words of the female boss will only make him fall into the rhythm of the other party, which Jason definitely does not want to see.

So, Jason began to ask rhetorical questions.

This made Hui Lijing frown.

"I've told you everything I know!"

The female boss emphasized.

"But that doesn't stop me from asking again."

Jason replied.

The female boss's brow tightened even more.

"You suspect that I have something to do with my sister's disappearance?"

Hui Lijing's voice was raised a point, and she looked angry.

The scene in front of me is inexplicably familiar!

A similar environment, similar things, made Jason involuntarily think of the female pastry chef.

However, at this time, even if he sighed in his heart, Jason did not say a word and wisely remained silent.

At this time, it is superfluous to say anything, it is better to let Hui Lijing think about it herself.

After all, what you think of is what you admit and what you are happy to see.

Regardless of whether the other party's sister is missing, whether it has something to do with the other party, at this time, the other party will express something.

This is one of the tricks Jason learned in The City That Never Sleeps.

Or rather, necessary survival skills.

There, every resident of the 'city that never sleeps' has similar skills, at most in different ways, some are accustomed to using words, some are accustomed to using movements, and many are able to force people to the point of having to say more information with just a look or expression.

Jason?

As a 'postman', he doesn't have to do that.

He just needs to do his thing and then, just keep silent.

Those employers can't help but say more.

Of course, most of the time, he will never stare at other people's hairline.

While it's possible to get more information by doing so, it's more likely to expose you to oncoming strafing.

At this moment, Jason did just that, and he chose to be silent.

Hui Lijing was short of breath several times before calming down.

"I knew that it was an extremely wrong thing for me to choose you in the first place, if my detective license was still there, I would be able to investigate on my own, and I wouldn't need you at all."

The female boss glared at Jason angrily before saying.

But, right away, the other party spoke again.

"My sister is the former owner of the White Bear Coffee House, 23 years old this year, is an extremely annoying guy, in order to get money that guy can do whatever it takes, and then, the face is very good, very popular with some men, liked, the highest record is to have 11 boyfriends at the same time, this White Bear Coffee House is also my sister relying on her own means, saved up when she was an adult."

"We have a very bad relationship, especially since my sister dropped out of school and left home in high school, we haven't been in touch for nearly two years, and then I became a detective according to my desire to become a barista, and I gradually got in touch with my sister again, she has a wide range of contacts, and she can always get some news that ordinary people can't get, especially the evidence of some men's cheating."

"After that, I will come here from time to time to inquire about the news, and my sister will sell it to me at a discount of 9.99 at the market price, and then, a processing fee of 0.01 will be charged."

"About two weeks ago, my sister disappeared and I started the investigation in any way I could think of, but it didn't go well, I didn't find anything, and I didn't even know where my sister disappeared."

"Then, when you appeared, I must have been in a daze, thinking that my sister had encountered something outside of common sense and entrusted you."

As she spoke, Hui Lijing glared at Jason, her cheeks bulging and rounded, like an angry pufferfish.

And from the other party's words, Jason got a lot of useful information.

He came here two weeks ago.

Hui Lijing, the client, should be a third-rate detective looking for kittens and puppies and catching extramarital affairs, and even most of the time, she has to rely on her sister's news to complete the commission.

There is another point that can prove the identity of the third-rate end detective of the other party, and the two criminal policemen just now do not recognize each other.

If the other party is a well-known and capable detective, the two detectives will definitely recognize each other.

As for lying?

Jason didn't think the other party would tell such a one-and-stabbed lie.

And the key figure of the event: Hui Lixiang.

The other party is Hui Lijing's sister, is a high-level tea master, with a good wrist, and has accumulated a lot of business at a young age, although this is not a prosperous city center, but it is not an old city, a second floor that covers a large area, and shops along the street, it is enough to show that the other party's 'efforts' over the years, the same, such 'efforts', will inevitably bring quite a lot of enemies.

Especially those ...... Ex-boyfriend!

With the means of a high-level tea master like Hui Lixiang, how many ex-boyfriends are there?

Jason felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Moreover, Jason believes that Hui Lijing must have looked for these ex-boyfriends.

Outcome?

Naturally, it goes without saying.

The sheer number and complex connections are not something that a third-rate detective can handle.

That's why he was commissioned.

In fact, it is also true.

Just as Jason was thinking, Hui Lijing had already spoken indignantly.

"That bastard Xiang, I've had 1000+ boyfriends!"

"And I still don't have a boyfriend!"

"What a bastard!"

"It's a superficial guy like her who makes those good men learn from bad and become less and less."

"That's not right!"

"Men themselves are big pigs' trotters, otherwise they wouldn't be attracted by this bastard Xiang."

The landlady said as she walked to the bar again in a huff.

Then, the female boss walked out with a stack of materials half her height in her arms.

That's quite a lot of information.

You must know that the female boss in front of her is far taller than ordinary women, more than half a head than an average man, and there is information about her average height, which is naturally quite a lot.

Also...... Quite heavy.

And the other party behaved quite relaxedly.

The strength is good.

Jason glanced at the other party's obviously thin-looking body, and evaluated it from the bottom of his heart.

The other party is completely different from the explosive figure of Arras, which looks very visually impactful, but this kind of hiding is still not to be underestimated, at least according to Jason's assessment, it is really easy to take down one or two adult men with the strength of the other party.

As if sensing Jason's gaze, Hui Lijing put the information on the table next to her and said straightforwardly: "In pursuit of my dream of becoming a barista, I became a detective!" ”

"I've worked very hard to learn the skills."

"Fighting, shooting, driving, blasting, I got an A+ in the training camp!"

Hui Lijing said proudly.

Shouldn't the primary quality of a detective be observation?

You are obviously a mercenary with such training.

Jason thought silently.

Hui Lijing patted the information and continued to Jason.

"I've done my best to gather information about Xiang's ex-boyfriend, it's all here, and you can look through it if you want to see it - although I didn't find any useful information in it."

"You know what?"

"Xiang didn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into those guys, he was indifferent to me at first, when I said it was Xiang's sister, this group of people was more enthusiastic than my deceased parents were better than me, and then, in and out of the words, they did something wrong back then, and they shouldn't have done that, so that Xiang broke his heart, and he would have changed his personality to seek stimulation to anesthetize himself, and it was them who were at fault, they were willing to compensate, and they hoped to start over with Xiang that guy."

"I'm TM!"

Speaking of this, Hui Lijing couldn't speak anymore at all, and ended her words with a foul sentence.

Then, I sat there huffing and not knowing what to think.

Jason, on the other hand, overturned his previous thinking.

A high-level tea master?

No, no, no!

The high rank is no longer inexplicable.

This is the king rank!

True. Supreme. The kind of king rank!

With that in mind, Jason swallowed the last piece of steak.

Then, his eyes turned to Hui Lijing.

"I've already read these materials, you can ask me any questions."

"I wonder what happened to that guy?"

"With what that guy did, maybe he was damned!"

Hui Lijing said.

However, she clearly misunderstood what Jason meant.

Jason corrected immediately.

"Good steak."

"Ten more."

Jason said seriously.

And Hui Lijing is breathing.

"Are you a rice bucket?"

"I've eaten so much!"

"Still eating?!"

Hui Lijing shouted.

However, when he saw Jason put a hundred-dollar bill on the table, he immediately shut up and walked to the bar.

Zizi!

After the grease came into contact with the heated pan, Jason casually picked up the materials on the side and flipped through them.

Such a gesture made Hui Lijing breathe a sigh of relief.

At least, Jason is really working.

However, the female boss didn't see it at all, and Jason's eyes were completely unfocused as he looked at the data.

It was clear that Jason was thinking about something else.

Sister Hui Lijing, is the disappearance of the king-rank tea master related to 'herself'?

This 'self' of course refers to the person Jason saw writing down the diary before.

And the previous visit of Ichiro Aijo, is it also this 'own' arrangement?

Jason's cautious personality in the City That Never Sleeps has long since determined that he will be quite wary of anyone who appears around him, even if it is because of him.

Not to mention that so-called 'self'.

After all, looking at the 'journal', Jason could always smell a hint of conspiracy.

Master Tong Shouji guides.

The disappearance of Hui Lixiang.

Jason muttered two extremely important names from the incident.

Needless to say, Hui Lixiang is directly missing.

And the master of Tong Shouji?

Ichiro Aijo came to him according to the other party's instructions.

So who will the other party be?

Acquaintance with him.

Are you a friend?

Or is it an enemy?

Or is this a trap in itself?

A guy hiding behind the scenes, taking advantage of the trap set for him by this name.

As long as he goes looking for ...... No, as long as he gets close to this so-called master of the Tong Shouji Temple, he will be doomed?

Is it because of Master Tong Shouji himself?

Or is it because of the other party's arrangement?

Dangerous!

There are so many unknowns!

Compared to the clue of 'Master Tongshouji'.

Hui Lixiang's disappearance is undoubtedly simpler.

It's just that......

It's too much of a hassle!

Jason scanned the information in his hand and saw that the photo was a well-dressed, young and handsome man, with a very beautiful resume, who had become a middle-level leader of a foreign trade company at the age of less than thirty, with great development potential and no bad habits.

Without looking at anything else, Jason was sure that the men in that stack were like that.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have become the target of that king-rank tea master.

Looking at this one-meter-tall material, and then looking at the two pages of information in his hand, Jason once again sighed at the power of this king-rank tea master.

Then, Jason wondered why Hui Lixiang had so many successes.

Very simple!

Choose!

After a few moments, Jason had the key point in mind.

Why are good men more popular than average men?

Aside from objective factors such as being handsome and earning more.

There is a more important subjective factor -

There are so many people they can choose from!

If!

Just what if!

Limit their choice to just one person.

So what will they do?

Most people will do their bidding.

The rest of the people only need a little trick to get their hands on it.

Based on this, Jason thought of a key point.

"Does your sister have any good friends?"

Jason asked the proprietress about it.

It is simply impossible for Hui Lixiang to do this alone, at least a few friends need to help.

Maybe there's a team running behind you.

"Friends?"

"That guy doesn't have any friends."

"There is no one close to them."

While serving Jason the steak, the female boss shook her head after thinking about it seriously.

"Is that so?"

Jason nodded noncommittally and began to eat the steak.

One bite at a time.

Chew big.

The heat is good, and the black pepper juice is just right, but the ingredients are average.

Jason commented from the bottom of his heart.

There is no malice.

It's just a simple evaluation.

As for the materials?

Any kind of precious food is expensive.

It's unrealistic to expect to eat such food in a roadside coffee house, even if they don't charge a lot.

"Did you find anything?"

Hui Lijing looked at Jason expectantly.

It can be seen that the female boss says that she hates her sister, a bastard, and that guy, but in fact she still cares about her sister.

"Hmm!"

Jason nodded, swallowed the last bite of steak, and said—

"Can you give me some of her underwear?"
