Chapter 19: Girl, You're Richer Than I Thought
"Huh? Did I say something wrong? β
Sakuya continued to laugh as if she didn't notice the embarrassment of the coffee-colored girl and the embarrassment of Narumi.
"Narumi, don't you think I'm the kind of person who will help others for free, [kind person], so you brought back the poor people on the side of the road who [need help]?"
Fujishima Narumi's body trembled slightly, and he ...... for free To be honest, he hadn't really thought about this before he came.
After all, in the end, he is still just a high school student, and he has not yet developed the mindset of thinking about money first in everything.
The coffee-colored girl's face was also a little red, but she still spoke at this time.
"Please, please don't blame Mr. Assistant, I'll work hard to earn money for you."
"Huh? Ah, girl, calm down, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable, so I really want to discipline him, that's all, don't worry! β
"Huh? Is that so? β
The coffee-colored girl's face showed a visibly relieved expression.
However, Fujishima Narumi's sense of crisis told him that if he took it seriously here, then he would definitely be miserable in the future.
Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, Narumi opened his mouth, and then stammered a little, "That...... That's, Meio, she's actually the ...... Alice asked me to bring here."
"Meo? Alice? β
Sakuya raised her eyebrows, and she didn't know what was flowing in her dark eyes.
"Meo is my name!" The coffee-colored girl raised her hand as if she were an elementary school student trying to answer a question.
Narumi nodded hurriedly, and at the same time continued: "Love, Alice said, you are good at Meio's commission, so let me bring her here and let you help...... Belch! β
Before he finished speaking, Narumi Fujishima felt something knock on his forehead.
Looking down - well, an empty coffee can.
In this way, the prisoner is obvious.
Fujishima Narumi looked up and met Sakiya's smiling expression.
"Ahh So Alice actually has a general understanding of the content of Meio's commission? Could you, Mr. Fujishima, please tell Miss Ben a little bit about it? β
"Me?"
"Ahh
Fujishima Narumi was speechless, and turned to the coffee-colored girl beside him a little unnaturally.
Mei Ou pouted, and the expression seemed to sayβMiss Detective and Mr. Assistant have a good relationship!
God, you actually believed this guy's nonsense just now, and it was extended here? Girl, thank God you were able to get here alone and safely without being cheated out of your way! Uh, no, I'm more dangerous at this time! For the sake of me taking you to meet the two detectives, you should save me!
"Humph!"
At this moment, Sakiya, who had been watching coldly, spoke again.
"I'll ask you about Alice later, and you'll be shivering in a dark corner trying to think of a lie that I won't find out, or you'll repent obediently and give me a good draft of the truth!"
"Yo Xi, this ...... Well, Meo? Let's move on to commissioning! β
Turning around, Sakiya's face regained a gentle smile, completely oblivious to the darkness when facing Narumi.
Narumi, who saw this scene with his own eyes, swallowed tears and muttered, "This is differential treatment, this is differential treatment" obediently squatting in the corner.
Sakiya took the time to glance at him, and that look seemed to say-Hmph, don't you know the principle of customer first?
"Meo, Thai?"
"Huh? You know, I came to Japan when I was about five years old, and I learned Japanese with my dad and my older brothers who lived in the same staff dormitory. There are many Filipino and Chinese girls living there, but most of the big brothers are Japanese. β
"yes, can you tell me the name of that dorm?"
"Hello Palace"
"Well, I see, then the question is, who did you hear about Alice from?"
"Ah, I heard about Detective Alice's office from Brother Hong."
Hearing what Mei Ou said, Sakuya's fingers that were beating on the keyboard paused, and Narumi also looked over from the corner.
So that's the case, is Brother Hong the source of this incident?
"There is a big sister from Huaxia who lives next door to Meiou, and Brother Hong has lived there for about a month, it should have happened last summer, right? He taught me a lot of Japanese, and he said that he had a very difficult profession called Little White Face! β
"Little white face is not a profession, hey!"
Fujishima Narumi couldn't help but shout. Brother Hong is one of the NEET people who often hang out behind the Hanamaru ramen shop, or a little white face who borrows girls everywhere to live, what Japanese did he teach others?
Just as Narumi was thinking like this, a gaze that emitted black qi came towards him.
"Ah~~ How dare you say it! Bringing home customers who may not have money, and planning to let me do unpaid labor, you don't have the evil idea that once Miss Ben goes bankrupt, you will come to take care of us, right? β
No, it's the only one that doesn't have it at all!
The corners of Fujishima Narumi's mouth twitched fiercely a few times, and he looked at the various expensive figures and cosplay costumes placed around with palpitations...... Sweat immediately slid down my face, even if I wanted to, I couldn't afford to support you at all!
Looking at Narumi, who was silent, Sakiya snorted coldly, and then looked away, Mei Ou secretly stuck out his tongue at Narumi, and then continued: "Later, Brother Hong was discovered and kicked out by the administrator, and when he left, he said to me: If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to [Hanamaru Ramen Shop] for help!" β
"Is that so? That's why you only found out about Alice's office, and then you came to me...... Well, it seems that it is necessary to pull Brother Hong into the water as well. But before that, let's talk about your difficulties! That's why you're here, isn't it? β
As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Ou's originally cheerful expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Around noon, I got a phone call from my dad at home."
Meo sat down in front of the bed and began to explain.
"He suddenly told me to 'take the bag in the safe and find a place to hide', I didn't understand the situation at all, but my father's voice sounded fierce, so I had to obey ......"
"That's the bag in the safe?"
Sakiya's gaze turned to the coffee-colored Boston bag placed on the floor.
"Well, it's really heavy, and I'm so tired of moving!" Meo Road.
"Did you take the initiative to contact Ling Zun after that?"
Mei Ou's face became more solemn: "He told me not to contact the company, and not to go home for the time being, and then no one answered his mobile phone......
"Ah, that's right, then, I know the general content of this commission. Did he tell you never to call the police? β
"Well, Miss Detective really knows everything!"
"Well, it's just a simple reasoning."
Sakuya nodded lightly and jumped out of bed.
At this time, the computer screen is displaying some superficial information about the Hello Palace. At least that's what Sakiya thinks, otherwise there wouldn't be such a thing as Meiou.
The jade-white toes gently kicked Boston on the ground, and after thinking for a long time with one hand around a strand of hair on his chest, the corners of Sakiya's mouth lifted slightly, and suddenly a strange smile appeared.
"Girl, have you seen what's inside?"
"Nope!"
"yes, then...... If you don't mind letting me see it, just open the bag. Say it up front, and once you start, you can't go back. It's like Pandora's box, you have to be mentally prepared for whether there is hope or despair that flows out of it after opening. β
ββ¦β¦ It can't be explosives, right? β
Mei Ou and Narumi, who was squatting in the corner, connected their minds at this time, and they actually asked at the same time.
Sakiya's face darkened, and he threw the word "stupid" at them without thinking about it: "Narumi won't say it first...... Meo, you think your father will let you run around with a bomb with him? β
"Hey~~"
Mei Ou tapped her forehead lightly and smiled embarrassedly.
Narumi thought with a depressed face: Why don't I say it first!
However, when Meio actually opened the bag, the room was suddenly filled with an indescribable smell - there were countless 10,000 yuan bills lying quietly in the gloomy bag, and it looked like there should be hundreds of millions of dollars in cash!
Looking at Mei Ou and Fujishima Narumi, whose faces have been occupied by amazement, Sakiya gently covers the corners of her mouth, and her narrowed eyes can't help but think of foxes, which are both cute and cunning.
"Ah~~ Girl, it seems that you are richer than I imagined!"
That's why I didn't worry that you wouldn't be able to pay......
