Chapter 39 Don’t throw the blame at me

Jiang Xia returned to her main body, took out her mobile phone, and tentatively sent a message to Kinoshita Yoko: [Thank you].

 The other party may be busy. After a few hours, he replied: [As long as you like it^^]

Jiang Xia: "..." It was really a gift from her. According to the number of these albums, there should be no need to queue up to buy them in the future.

 Send a small toy to a ghost, Ms. Yoko is such a good person...

 …

Jiang Xia rested at home for a day.

 The next day, Golden Retriever and the others brought some newly caught cats and dogs. They are all commissioned for people’s lost pets.

Jiang Xia divided the client's commission fee among them and went to the detective agency with the cat and dog.

 Then he made himself a cup of tea, and while waiting for the client to come over to pick up the pet, he secretly rubbed someone else's cat a few times.

 At present, it is still difficult to get commissions regarding murder cases. The most popular projects are indeed spying on mistresses and catching cats and dogs.

 …

 Just waited for nearly a week.

Jiang Xia finally received a commission of another type.

The client is an elegant woman wearing a kimono. At first glance, she seems to be the wife of a wealthy family, but judging from the content of the commission, it does not seem like that.

“I hope you can help me keep an eye on an antique pottery—it was mortgaged to the creditor when I took out a private loan six months ago.”

Mrs. Kimono sighed sadly: "There is still one month left before the repayment deadline, and I have about another week to save up the debt.

"But I'm worried that before that, the pottery I mortgaged will be sold by the creditor as 'interest' - the creditor, Mr. Maru, is a rich man, but he is always too... Well, there are many precedents for this. .”

Said, Mrs. Kimono quietly looked at Jiang Xia.

 Considering that even if this kid has some fame, he is still just a high school detective, and it is not easy to fight local snakes. So she didn't make too difficult a request:

“It is unrealistic to prevent him from selling the pottery... I just hope you can keep an eye on the pottery and tell me in advance when Mr. Maru plans to sell it—if it’s too late, at least find out where the pottery is being sold.”

Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

 Sounds like a somewhat boring commission.

However, after seeing the photo of the pottery taken out by the client’s wife, the creditor’s address, and especially the name and profile picture printed on the creditor’s business card “Mr. Maru”…

"Don't worry." Jiang Xia showed a reliable smile, "I will do my best to complete your commission."

 The guest left happily.

Jiang Xia also happily touched the creditor's business card she left behind.

He looked at the photo of the Mediterranean uncle named "Marudenjiro" on the business card, and thought: He has been waiting for the ghost-taking commission.

 …

 At this time, it was already evening and the detective agency was about to get off work.

After receiving the commission, Jiang Xia waited in the store for a while and returned the last cat left today to the client who came to pick it up.

 Then he hung the appointment book at the door, locked the door and left.

 I plan to go to Marudenjiro's house to check on the situation before going home.

 …

A few minutes later.

 Acupido Town, a bustling intersection.

　　Vodka held the steering wheel and felt a little worried while working overtime.

 In recent years, the organization has not been very peaceful.

Five years ago, the FBI's ace agent "Akai Shuichi" sneaked into their organization and worked as an undercover agent. He achieved great results and almost arrested Gin.

 Fortunately, there is a reliable second-in-command in the organization, and Shuichi Akai has another pig teammate. With the joint efforts of both parties, Akai Shuichi not only failed in his plan, but also revealed his identity as an undercover agent and had to escape in a hurry.

 …

The opportunity for Akai Shuichi to come in as an undercover agent was that he had a girlfriend in the organization—Shirley's sister, Miyano Akemi.

Therefore, after Shuichi Akai’s identity was revealed and he left the organization two years ago, the situation for Miyano Akemi and her sisters became difficult.

The organization has always wanted to punish "Miyano Akemi", a peripheral member who introduced the FBI to the village, but it was worried about Shirley, a genius sister.

Finally, they had an idea and came up with a solution - asking Miyano Akemi to steal 1 billion yen in cash, and lied to her that if she succeeded, they would let her and her sister leave the organization, and if she failed, they would kill her.

 …Of course, that’s what I said. But in fact, regardless of success or failure, in the eyes of the organization-Miyano Akemi must die.   …

Miyano Akemi heard the organization's proposal to "let them go if they succeeded in robbing the bank" and could not refuse this temptation - she had long wanted to leave the organization, get rid of her identity as a "black organization member", find Akai Shuichi, and be with him again together.

 Before, because she couldn't bear to leave her sister behind, and because she didn't know where Shuichi Akai was, Miyano Akemi kept quiet.

Now, she decided to firmly seize this "opportunity" given by the organization.

 …

 The organization originally thought that this was an impossible task for Miyano Akemi. If the mission fails, this woman can be killed naturally.

Who knew they underestimated Miyano Akemi's ability—in the past few days, Miyano Akemi had really succeeded in grabbing one billion yen through her planning.

 …

　　Vodka Right now, he is driving to the place where he and Miyano Akemi agreed to "pay money with one hand and Shirley with the other".

Vodka stopped at the intersection, looked at the red light ahead, and sighed: "I didn't expect that she could really grab the money. Then wouldn't we have no excuse to execute her?"

Gin laughed gloomily: "I'll just kill him without any excuse. He's just a loser..."

In the middle of his words, he suddenly stared at somewhere outside the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely caught a familiar figure: "Who is that person?"

"What?" Vodka was startled and looked towards where Gin pointed.

However, it is close to the city center and it happens to be the evening rush hour, so it is bustling with people. Vodka stared for a long time, but couldn't tell which guy Gin was referring to.

So he thought about it, took out a telescope, and put it in front of his eyes: in this way, although it was difficult to find it, at least it could prove that he had worked hard...

Next to him, Gin looked at it intently for a while and reminded him: "Diagonally opposite the intersection, in the second row on the far left of the motorway, there is a black motorcycle with silver stripes."

"Oh." Vodka tried to look in that direction and finally found the target.

He looked at it for a while and felt that the motorcycle rider wearing a helmet did look familiar... It seemed like Jiang Xia?

Before he could take a closer look, Gin took the telescope away as the bridge of his nose cleared.

 …

Gin held the telescope and looked at it for a few seconds, showing a thoughtful expression.

 After a while, the red light ended.

When the car started moving again, Gin suddenly sneered and whispered thoughtfully:

“No wonder Miyano Akemi’s operation was so smooth. Not only did she get the money, she also found her accomplice who had absconded with the money in just a few days and recovered the stolen money...”

"..." Vodka reacted for a while, and gradually realized what the boss meant. He was shocked and said, "You mean, Jiang Xia is helping her secretly!?"

Jiang Xia is indeed very good at finding people. This has been proven countless times before, but...

Vodka thought about Shirley and her pile of health care products that had never been sent out: "Don't he rarely have contact with the sisters of the Miyano family?"

Gin snorted coldly: "Emotions can be disguised."

 One-way kindness can also maintain contact. Especially for someone of Jiang Xia's age...it always seems difficult for him to truly hate two beautiful women who have always shown kindness to him.

Before, Gin actually didn’t think so much about it.

 But now, when he suddenly met Jiang Xia... Ginjiu, who had encountered countless undercover agents and countless betrayals, suddenly became suspicious, and he gradually became suspicious.

 —This intersection is very close to the Enjyu City Hotel where Miyano Akemi is staying.

 Looking at the direction of Jiangxia's movement, it is exactly that way.

Gin: "…" Appearing at this place at this time, he is still a person related to the Miyano sisters...

 In addition, Miyano Akemi's "extraordinary performance" these days is completely consistent with Jiang Xia's professional skills.

If this is because Jiang Xia is helping her...then everything makes sense.

 …

 Having an entry point, Ginjiu looked at Jiang Xia and suddenly felt...

 Suspicious, in short, very suspicious.

Gin thought for a moment and took out his cell phone.
