Chapter 334: Acquaintances Get Eight Percent Off
Fujino has an impression of this Hattori Shizuka, that is, Hattori Heiji's mother, and when they met, he actually recognized it at first sight.
It's just that the son is so black, but the mother is white and pure...... It's a bit unreasonable.
The point is, his father Hattori Heizou is not black!
It's a bit confusing to say anything.
Chi Bo's words, Fujino felt that it should be Hattori Shizuka's surname before he got married.
If you hide your surname, you probably don't want to recognize yourself, after all, if you mention Hattori, you may be recognized directly.
Fujino can also understand her visit to find her name, that is, acting, to explore his own bottom ......
It is estimated that after Hattori's kid goes back, he must have said something bad about him again, otherwise, it would be impossible for Hattori Jinghua to target him.
Thinking of this, Fujino's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that he had to let that kid taste the taste of saying bad things behind his back.
But after thinking about it, he thought about the script planned by Hattori Jinghua again.
just said that he was not married, and he also gave himself a false surname, or the surname before marriage, and even hid his wedding ring......
What family ethics drama?
As for the reason, it is estimated that if you say that you are married, this kind of commission will definitely be disliked by the detective, after all, it is definitely not appropriate to help someone else's wife find a man you met a long time ago.
She will hide her wedding ring, which should be the reason?
Her drama is a bit big, and she even has a feeling of being extremely scary when she thinks about it.
Fujino didn't dare to think about it too much, thought for a while, and asked instead: "I heard on the phone just now that you have a photo of the person you want to find, I don't know if you can show it to me, so I can be sure of the identity of that person." β
"Yes, but I don't think there are too many places to refer to."
Hattori Shizuka said, took out a photo from his small bag, and handed it to Fujino: "The person holding the trophy in the middle of this photo is the person I am looking for, Shibata Shiro." β
"The photo of the kendo tournament, judging from the occasion of the competition, should be the summer tournament in Kansai."
Fujino took the photo and looked at it.
The photo shows a combination of three women and four men, they are wearing protective gear from the kendo competition, and the C position of the photo is a boy holding a trophy.
Next to the boy, there is also a cute girl with a ponytail and a slightly green appearance.
At a glance, the face shape and features are exactly the same as Hattori Shizuka, so it should be me......
Fujino glanced up at Shizuka Hattori and then at the photo.
Thirty years has changed a bit indeed......
Young girls have become wives with stupid sons.
emm, a good-looking girl, is still very good-looking even if she is older in this world.
Fujino saved his chin: "The girl with a ponytail next to her should be Miss Chi Bo, right?" β
"yes...... It was me, and I was attending the Kansai Summer Festival at the time, and when I graduated I went back to Tokyo, I was immediately recognized. β
Hattori Shizuka was slightly surprised, raised his eyes, and looked at Fujino squarely.
From the beginning, the secrets she hid began to be unraveled little by little.
Whether it is the wedding ring hidden in the hand or the region in the picture, it is seen.
She had no doubt that if she revealed something more, she would be recognized.
It's really scary, and it feels like it's a handstand...... Even though she doesn't have hair.
The purpose of her coming over this time was actually to probe the reality of the other party and confirm whether her stupid son was bullied.
This Fujino, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but she had heard about it from her son and husband.
My son sprained his ankle last time, and after returning from Tokyo, he began to shout, "What kind of monster is this guy Fujino?" and "This guy is damned!" "It's so damn ......" and something like that.
She also asked her husband how Fujino was, but the answer she got was "a very good young man", "young and promising, the future is promising", "why doesn't that kid learn more from others" or something, just like someone else's child, an excellent young man.
So she subconsciously thought that her son must have been bullied by this excellent young man, and she also wanted to test it this time.
"The photo can be seen from your appearance, after all, Miss Chi Bo, your appearance is like a hibiscus out of the water, and it is estimated that you can see it at a glance in the crowd."
Fujino chuckled, "As for the Kansai Summer Festival, in fact, I also studied kendo, so naturally I can recognize it. β
"It's a lot of ......"
Hattori Jinghua waved his hand a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect you to be learning kendo now." β
At her age, being praised by young people for her appearance or something really makes her feel very good.
At the same time, she added some suspicion to the fact that her son was being bullied.
How can such a talkative young man be a bully child?
But I can't get an answer so quickly, after all, I don't know people but I don't know my heart......
"yes, it's just learning to play, it's messing around."
Fujino looked at Hattori Shizuka, thought for a moment, and said, "Since the content of the commission and the person you want to find have been determined, since this is the case, it is time to talk about the commission money...... In terms of difficulty, these photos should have been a long time ago, and they didn't have much effect, which means that the clues now are only that one name, and it's really difficult to find them, originally, my price should be 600,000 yen......"
"600,000 yen?"
Hattori Shizuka was slightly stunned for a moment, and glanced at Fujino in surprise.
Although this money is not too much for her.
But if it's just to find someone, it's really a little expensive.
Obviously, she is still not very familiar with the routine of our detectives to treat 'acquaintances', in this regard, Fujino paused slightly, and continued: "But since Miss Chi Bo is introduced by an acquaintance, I can give Miss Chi Bo a 20% discount and collect 500,000 yen...... I have the contract ready when you come, and if you agree, you can sign the down payment. β
"There's such a big discount...... However, it is still acceptable. β
Hattori Jinghua nodded, and he didn't expect that he would be able to cut down 100,000 pieces when he said that an acquaintance introduced him.
100,000 yen is not much, but it is a big discount compared to 600,000 yen.
"Well, don't bother, after all, they are all acquaintances, in order to repay everyone's support, I also have to show a little sincerity here, even if it is lower than the usual price, lose some, it can be regarded as a return to the customers who support me."
Fujino set up some family members' routine words, and said in a very polite way, and with the meaning of reluctance to cut love, he took out the mobile POS machine from his pocket: "If you have a bank card, you can pay directly now, we support mobile payment here...... As for the deposit, it is one-tenth of the list price, which is 50,000 yen. β
"Then I'm sorry for you."
Hattori Jinghua took out his bank card and swiped it, feeling a little strange.
The money is gone?
It should be said that the speed is too fast, and before I said a few words, I directly took the commission to sign the contract...... I have to say, the efficiency is a bit high.
But at the same time, a thought flooded through her mind.
Acquaintance...... I don't know if my son counts?
After thinking about it, she felt a little sorry for Fujino.
After all, no matter how you say it, the other party is a child who is about the same as his son.
Trick underage high school detectives in exchange for discounts or something.
I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
"Well, I'll find Mr. Shibata as soon as possible."
Fujino was stunned for a moment, and his complexion and momentum were also improved at the same time, and his performance was extremely professional.
Acquaintances get a 20% discount.
Raise your pricing before you make a bid, and then discount it.
Not only does it make money, but it also makes the family feel that they have earned it.
In short, win-win, win-win.
"Actually, though, I still have a reluctant request."
Hattori Shizuka suddenly said, "If I can, I want to trouble the Maori detective who lives on the other side to be able to participate in this commission together." β
In her impression, every time her son comes out, there will be the 'sleeping detective' of Maori Kogoro.
The last time I went to Kansai, I invited the other party, but the other party didn't come.
She suspects that her son is being frantically squeezed by his senior detectives, and on the other hand, he is being bullied by a slightly older young and better detective.
However, after some exploration, she thinks that there should be no big problem on Fujino's side.
After all, how could a young man who was so polite, so well-mannered, and even praised her for being beautiful and called her 'Miss', how could she be such a bad person.
"Two detectives investigating together?"
Fujino frowned slightly, a little hesitant about this request.
One client, two detectives.
Are you holding a nesting doll?
But it feels a little familiar......
How do you feel like two clients and one detective back then?
Fujino was slightly stunned.
Although it is quite refreshing to eat double portions by yourself, it is not very refreshing if it is your turn.
If the same commission is divided between two detectives, the amount will definitely shrink.
"I've heard for a long time that the two of you have a good relationship."
Hattori Shizuka also noticed his request, which seemed to cause discomfort to the other party: "I think if there are two detectives investigating together, then finding someone will definitely be much faster, of course, I will definitely pay the commission as usual." β
"Well, since the customer's request, then I'll take you to meet the Maori brother."
With that, Fujino stood up and walked to the bathroom: "But before I go, I still have to make a phone call to ask my brother if he wants to take the commission, after all, he is quite busy." β
Shizuka Hattori said she didn't care: "It's okay. β
"Then please Miss Chi Bo wait a while."
Fujino turned and walked to the bathroom, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Mori Kogoro's mobile number.
The amount of his commission is still a bit high, if the Maori brother offers a lower price than after his discount, isn't this a slap in the face?
"Ah, Brother Fujino, what's the matter?"
The voice in the background of Maori Kogoro on the other end of the phone is a little noisy, and he should be watching a football game.
"Brother, I received a commission here, but after the client finished entrusting me, he also named you to investigate with me."
"I'm investigating too?"
Maori Kogoro also froze: "It's a bit suspicious to entrust two detectives or something at once......"
"It's a commission to find someone, and the other party is a middle-aged woman who wants to find a classmate from more than 30 years ago."
Speaking of this, Fujino's tone was slightly lowered, and he whispered, "The offer I gave is 600,000 yen......"
"Six...... 600,000?! β
Mori Kogoro was obviously taken aback by this commission price: "Just looking for someone, 600,000 is too outrageous." β
"So I gave a slight discount and asked for 500,000."
Fujino's tone was flat: "The other party agreed." β
"Oh...... Oh! β
Mori Kogoro immediately understood when he heard this, and the smile in his tone couldn't hide it: "Then thank you, Brother Fujino!" β
"Well, I'll take someone over, she has a photo and the name of that person, it should be easy to find."
"Good! I'll prepare. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
MΔori Detective Agency.
"Ding Dong!"
Fujino rang the doorbell: "Brother Maori, we're in!" β
"Please come in!"
It was Xiaolan's voice that answered.
Fujino pushed open the door when he heard the sound, and he saw Xiaolan holding a dust burden and wearing a pink knitted top and light blue shorts.
Judging from the appearance, it should be cleaning on the weekend.
Conan stood beside her, dressed in his blue suit and shorts.
Fujino didn't understand why this kid still wore formal clothes at home.
Could it be that the child support was all gambled by Uncle Maori and had no other clothes to wear?
"Where's Uncle Maori?"
Fujino walked into the detective agency's office, and Shizuka Hattori followed behind, bowing shallow to Xiaolan and saying hello.
"Daddy is in the bathroom right now."
Xiaolan replied to Fujino, and bowed in return, and then looked at Hattori Jinghua: "You should be the client, please wait for a while!" β
"It's a beauty!"
Conan's vision is also very good, glancing at Hattori Jinghua, and secretly sighing in his heart.
"Ahem......"
Hattori Shizuka felt a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly.
She glanced around at the detective agency, silently observing.
Small office, with a black TV on the desk, a leather brown sofa next to it, and a light brown wooden coffee table, and documents scattered on the filing cabinet next to it.
There was also a strong smell of smoke in the air...... and the smell of dust.
is different from the detective agency she just saw, and the environment here is in line with her stereotype of detectives.
It should be said that it is relatively rare to see a detective agency office as 'spectacular' as Fujino's child.
"Is it already here?!"
At this time, Maori Kogoro came out of the bathroom, wearing a dark blue suit.
He wasn't going to do anything else, he was shaving......
After all, it is the client of the introduction, and if it looks sloppy, it is not good.
However, when he looked at Hattori Jinghua sitting on the sofa, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"It's a beauty!"
Well, just like Conan's kid.
Uncle Maori, who reacted, looked a little regretful.
Why didn't Brother Fujino say earlier that the person he brought over was a beauty......
I knew he was dressed up carefully.
"Ahem!"
Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, stepped forward and said in a calm tone, "Brother Fujino, is this your client?" β
"Are you the sleeping Mori Kogoro?"
Hattori Shizuka stood up when he heard this: "The surname is Chi Bo, Detective Fujino should have said something about me." β
"That's right, it's Maori Kogoro down there!"
Uncle Maori walked to the sofa and sat down, pretending to be a calm uncle: "I have indeed heard Brother Fujino say about your affairs, but the specific details still need to be confirmed again." β
Xiaolan: "......"
Conan: "......"
This guy, it's here again!
Fujino also looked at Mori Kogoro with a slight flickering gaze.
It feels like the Maori brother is dying again.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"So I'm looking for this guy named Shibata Shiro."
Mori Kogoro sat on the sofa, looked at the photo on the coffee table and muttered, "Then the girl next to the photo should be Miss Chi Bo...... It's a big change. β
Conan also leaned over curiously, looking at the photo on the left and Hattori Shizuka on the right.
is also secretly lamenting that the years are urging people to grow old.
Hattori Shizuka said: "After all, they are all old photos from thirty years ago." β
"Thirty years ago?"
Maori Kogoro was stunned: "Then aren't you ...... now?"
"That's right, I'm forty-two years old."
Hattori Shizuka sighed: "This photo was taken when I was in the second year of middle school, and Detective Fujino just said that if you want to use this photo as a reference, it is indeed a bit difficult, but I only have this photo on hand." β
"Forty-two years old?"
Fujino sat aside and pondered, "I thought Miss Ikeba was only in her early thirties." β
"No...... It's only in his early thirties or something, which is too exaggerated. β
Shizuka Hattori was a little embarrassed, but her impression of Fujino was much better.
is indeed the same as the one in his family said, he is indeed young and promising, and he can be called an excellent young man.
It's better than the cheap son who usually calls himself 'Obasan'.
"What are your hobbies?"
At this time, Maori Kogoro suddenly asked, and Hattori Shizuka, who didn't react, replied casually: "If you have a hobby, it should be something related to kendo, after all, his kendo level was quite good at that time." β
"No, it's not."
Maori Kogoro looked serious: "I mean your ......"
Shizuka Hattori: "Huh? β
It's clear that she hasn't kept up with Kogoro Maori.
Although she wanted to interrupt this strange uncle's topic similar to 'pick-up', but thinking that she still had to investigate whether the two detectives in front of her had bullied her son, Hattori Shizuka said helplessly: "Usually, I prefer to play sweaters and the like......"
"I see, it's a good interest."
Mori Kogoro sneered, "Miss Ikeba must seem to be a very virtuous person. β
"I think Fujino-senpai is right."
Xiaolan put three cups of hot tea on the coffee table, interrupted Maori Kogoro, pulled the topic back to Fujino, and echoed: "Miss Chi Bo, your skin is very well maintained, and you can't tell that you are about the same age as my mother at all." β
At the same time, she glanced at Maori Kogoro, and a deep, resentful feeling gradually appeared on her face, as if to say:
Pick-up, pretty woman, beaten, understand?
