After returning from Hakone Town, Takato's life returned to normality again.
Although, in Gao Yuan's impression, there are still many unresolved issues that he encountered before.
Whether it is the letter of commission that Miyano Akemi is suspected to have sent to herself, or the further investigation of the clue mentioned by Kudo Yukiko, or simply the legend related to the disappearance of the legendary killer "Kondo" and President Iwaki, as well as Ninagawa Ayako
The commission, even the content that Misa Wakura concealed from herself.
There are still no answers to many things, but compared to these things now, Gao Yuan has encountered a more pressing problem - he is running out of money!
Without a stable source of income, living in Tokyo and having to maintain the daily expenses of such a villa, the money Gao Yuan earned before could no longer sustain him for long.
Currently, due to money reasons, in this three-story villa, apart from the living room and kitchen, only the bedroom where I live is equipped with furniture and electrical appliances. The other rooms are still vacant - except for the one that was dug out
In the study room in the basement, the bookshelf that was originally there.
Originally, Gao Yuan did not buy any furniture in the living room. It was last time that Suzuki Sonoko gave him a set of high-end sofas that seemed to be very high-end, so that the decoration in this villa had a somewhat high-end feel - if, not
If you go into those empty rooms and take a look.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan began to consider whether to go out and find some part-time work.
As a result, just as Takato was about to go out for a walk, he received a call from the director of the "Detective Mediation Agency", Toro Kizui.
"Detective Akechi, are you free now? There is a detective commission that needs to be solved urgently. If it is convenient for you, please come to 'Sandglass'."
On the phone, Kizui Fourou gave a brief explanation, and Gao Yuan immediately agreed.
The "Detective Agency" opened by Kizui Franz is specialized in detective agency work. Gao Yuan also received commissions there before and received remuneration.
Now, Gao Yuan, who was worried about money, faced a new commission to make money. Naturally, he resolutely agreed and immediately left for the apartment named "Sandglass".
When you walk into the apartment door, you can see a cafe.
Kizui Fourou was leisurely cleaning cups on the bar, and in the coffee shop, there were two young clerks, a man and a woman, sweeping the floor. After getting to know each other last time, Gao Yuan knew these two people. The boy's name was Yagawa Tu.
The girls called Makoto Makoto, and they were all young people in their twenties.
However, what is different from coming here before is that today, there are actually customers in this coffee shop——
At a coffee table, there were two people sitting opposite each other.
Looking from a high distance, one can see the face of a young man in his mid-twenties, with clean short hair, tall and thin figure, and handsome appearance. He is a boy with a good appearance, but he is well-dressed.
But he was wearing work clothes from a certain delivery company.
What made Gao Yuan somewhat concerned was the person sitting opposite the boy.
From a high perspective, only the back can be seen - looking at the petite figure, she should be a woman, but what is more special is her white hair.
It doesn't look like a wig, nor does it look like permed or dyed hair. It's just natural white hair.
"Detective Akechi, you're here!"
At this time, Franz Kizui at the bar saw Gao Yuan's arrival, showed a standard smile, and called Gao Yuan over.
In this regard, without studying the two guests carefully, Gao Yuan came to the bar and began to ask: "Mr. Kizui, what is the commission this time?"
He didn't answer immediately. Instead, Kizui Fourou pointed to the coffee table where the guests were sitting.
"Today's commission is to help clear the suspicion of the unfortunate man sitting over there, named Ousuke Gindate."
Kizui Hōrō revealed the contents of the commission.
"what happened?"
Gao Yuan asked, "What happened to him?"
"Just ask him directly for details."
Kizui Hōro said, and said to the boy named Gindate Osuke: "Osuke, the second detective is here!"
Hearing this, Yin Tate Ousuke stood up from his chair excitedly, looked at Gao Yuan, then bowed deeply, and said very politely: "Hello, my name is Yin Tate Ousuke! Thank you very much.
Mr. Detective can come and accept my commission!"
"Wise and lofty."
After briefly responding to Gindate Ousuke's enthusiasm, Takato was more concerned about what Kizui Horou meant by "the second detective", so he looked at the white-haired woman sitting opposite Gindate Ousuke.
Now, from this angle, Gao Yuan can finally see the other person's face clearly - very unexpectedly, this is a young and beautiful face in the prime of youth, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looks like he is only in his twenties at most.
How old.
When Gao Yuan saw this white hair, he thought it was an old woman.
Seeing Gao Yuan look at the woman curiously, Yin Tate Osuke immediately explained:
"Um...this is Ms. Kyoko, the first detective I entrusted. But just now, after I finished speaking, she just sat there blankly and didn't respond to any questions. So.
As a last resort, I want to ask another detective to see if he can help me."
So that's what happened, so I am the second detective.
Hearing this, Gao Yuan understood what was going on. He looked at the four-seater coffee table, thought for a while, and sat down next to the detective named Kyoko Takigami.
"Then, Mr. Hidden, please explain your request in detail."
Gao Yuan said.
"That's right, Mr. Akechi. I recently worked as a temporary worker for a delivery company. I was mainly responsible for delivering goods in the area of Miwa Town."
Yin Tate Ousuke began to explain.
"Yesterday, because the senior who was traveling with me asked for leave, I was the only one doing the delivery work yesterday, so the delivery arrived very late that day. As a result, on my way back from the delivery, I saw a person lying on the bed
There was no movement on the ground, there was a lot of blood on the ground, and he was already dead, so I called the police at that time."
Speaking of this, Yin Tate Ousuke began to say with some emotion: "My life is always like this, tragedies are constantly being staged. No matter where I go, I will be plagued by bad luck and be accused of unwarranted charges. Just like when I was in college...
"
"excuse me."
Takato stopped Ousuke Gindate from continuing on this topic, "Let's get back to the topic. So what you want to say is that you are regarded as the first suspect by the police?"
"That's almost it. I spent the night at the police station last night, but because there was no concrete evidence, I was released."
Ousuke Kindate said, suddenly getting excited, "But the problem is this morning! I continued to do the delivery work alone today. As a result, when I delivered it to a house in 3-chome, Yoneka Town, I found that the hostess of that house was raped.
He was killed at home! And that home is not far from where I found the murdered man yesterday!"
Morning? It’s only morning now?
Gao Yuan thought.
"So you came to see the detective without calling the police?"
After thinking for a while, Gao Yuan asked.
"Of course I called the police!"
Yin Tate Ousuke said anxiously, "But there were murder cases two days in a row. I was worried that the police would accidentally regard me as the real murderer, so I ran here to look for Miss Kyoko's help. I hope I can be found by the police.
I had to clear my name before, otherwise I would be taken away by the police again, and I don’t know how long I would be detained! But..."
However, the young lady who brought Kyoko with her in her arms was in a daze now.
Gao Yuan glanced at the white-haired girl next to him and filled in the unfinished words for Ginta Ousuke.
"So? What exactly did you say that made Miss Kyoko become dazed?"
Gao Yuan asked.
"Miss Kyoko asked me to recall the people and things I have encountered since yesterday and tell her everything in detail. But when I mentioned what happened when I passed by the convenience store this morning, Miss Kyoko started to be in a daze!
"
Yin Tate Esuke spoke quickly and felt a little restless.
"Relax! Don't be so nervous. Be specific."
Gao Yuan reassured.
After calming down, Yin Tate Osuke said: "This is what I heard when I went to work this morning. A man passed by me and was talking to someone on his mobile phone. I only heard him shouting: '
Ten yen coins are too few, I need five more. After I finished saying this, Miss Kyoko started to be in a daze!"
"Ten yen coins are too few. Do you need five more?"
After repeating this sentence, Gao Yuan suddenly frowned, and a very strange feeling suddenly emerged, so Gao Yuan began to think deeply.
"Hey! Wait a minute! How come even Mr. Akechi..."
Seeing Takato also thinking deeply, Yin Tate Ousuke immediately said anxiously, stood up, and walked around the store at a loss.
"It's so noisy! Mr. Hidden Hall!"
Suddenly, Kyouko Kyoko, who had been in a daze, suddenly spoke up and shouted to Ousuke Gindate in a bored tone, but her voice was soft and very pleasant.
"You interrupted my train of thought!"
"Uh...sorry."
Hearing what Kyoko Fujo said, like a child being scolded by his parents, Gindate Ousuke obediently sat back in his seat.
At this moment, Fushang Kyoko looked at Gao Yuan and couldn't help but said: "Are you also a detective? Sure enough, this sentence is very strange!"
