After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 35 35. Isn't it time to ravage me?
Private detectives have a long history in Japan, and they began to flourish during the Meiji period of the last century. Although detective agencies are not everywhere nowadays, there are still many of them.

But the profession of detective is not as noble as imagined, nor is it as omnipotent as the legend says.

And the detective's main business is also very simple.

Catch the mistress.

In an environment where Japan's crime rate is one of the lowest in the world, there are very few opportunities for the police to assist the lazy gang in investigating confusing homicide cases. It's not that they can't make a living by eating this bowl of rice, but at least the income is bland.

So compared to assisting the police in solving homicide cases, today's detectives are better at tracking and secretly taking photos of cheating wives and husbands, and their abilities are comparable to those of paparazzi.

And this is also the purpose of Yuanye Si's coming here.

The crisp ring of the doorbell made the middle-aged man who was working at his desk in the office look up.

"Welcome to Miyazaki Detective Agency."

"Does the guest have a reservation?"

"Yes, my last name is Yuanye."

"You must be Mr. Yuanye. We just talked on the phone not long ago. I didn't expect you to come so soon."

“I just happen to live nearby.”

"That's normal."

After a while, the middle-aged man who was sitting stood up to greet Harano Tsukasa and Shigeeda Shio who was following him, and at the same time presented his business card to indicate that he was the owner of this store.

He is the boss and of course a detective. His name is Miyazaki Masahiro, he is about 45 years old, of medium build, with slightly graying temples and wearing a pair of rimless glasses. He looks like the kind that you would never find him in a crowd of people. Judging from his appearance alone, he does fit the image of a detective who follows others.

After all, the lower the presence, the better.

They had talked about it on the phone before, and Harano Tsukasa just found a detective agency on the Internet, and the other party knew the basic situation.

So after a brief greeting, we got straight to the point.

Miyazaki Masahiro brought them a cup of tea. After they sat down, he didn't beat around the bush. Instead, he got straight to the point and said, "I basically understand your request over the phone, but after analyzing the case in detail, I have to remind you that Miss Kato Masami is not your spouse or relative. Legally, we have no right to secretly photograph or track her. Once she finds out and reports it to the police, we will be held legally responsible."

After a pause, Miyazaki Masahiro observed Harano Tsukasa sipping his tea and sighed, "So..."

It was obvious what he meant by these words.

Basically, I took over the case.

Because before starting an investigation, you need to submit an application to start the detective business, and the authority to secretly take photos and eavesdrop is limited to the client himself or the client's spouse, and cannot be carried out on third parties other than the client. In other words, you can install cameras or eavesdropping devices on the client's own car, but not on the car of the cheating partner. Therefore, Japanese detective agencies generally investigate the most cases of cheating. Other investigations, such as investigating the detailed information of a marriage partner, are also legal, after all, they do not involve tracking or secretly taking photos.

But it is obvious that Harano Tsukasa and Kato Masami are not in a marital relationship, not even boyfriend and girlfriend, so he has no right to entrust a detective agency to investigate Kato Masami.

It’s just that the rules are dead.

The method is flexible.

Yuanye Si waved to Shigeshita, who was holding a teacup and was distracted. After the latter reacted, he gestured for her to get his briefcase. He reached in, took out an envelope and placed it on the coffee table.

"I'll pay more." Yuanye Si said directly.

"The original price is 300,000 yen? How about this, double it, 600,000 yen? Would you consider it?"

Miyazaki Masahiro, who was drinking tea, paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and measured the thickness of the envelope inconspicuously. His eyes moved a little, but he continued to drink his tea, and sighed hesitantly:
"You must be joking. This is not about money. Even if we are not legally responsible, as detectives, we have our own professional ethics."

"You're making it difficult for me..."

Seeing this, Harano Tsukasa smiled and took out a white envelope from his bag: "One million yen."

"If it doesn't work, I'll find another one."

Miyazaki Masahiro's eyes lit up and he quickly put down his teacup: "Wait! Mr. Yuanye, I think you may have a slight misunderstanding of the professional ethics I just talked about!"

"Mr. Yuanye, I hate people who betray their feelings, whether they are men or women. Although you and Miss Kato are not married in the legal sense, I am still willing to help you at my own expense. Moreover, I will not secretly take photos or eavesdrop on Miss Kato. I just plan to find a suitable time to have a good chat and find out the truth of this matter for you. You don't need to persuade me, I will definitely help you!"

Compared with his embarrassed expression just now, Miyazaki Masahiro's face at this moment was full of righteousness, exactly the same as the superior who spoke frankly about the national interest at the press conference. The only thing missing was the word "selflessness" written on his face.

"Then I will pay you in advance for half a month. I hope to hear substantial progress."

Harano's request was also very straightforward.

"What do you mean by reward or no reward? Mr. Yuanye, please don't be so polite to me. Don't worry, I am helping you for free and it will definitely not be against the law."

Miyazaki Masahiro solemnly refused to leave any voice evidence, but his hands did not stop. He picked up the two envelopes on the coffee table without even glancing at them, and did not mention anything like signing a contract.

Of course it is impossible to sign a contract.

After all, this can only be done in private.

However, Harano Tsukasa was not afraid that the other party would default on his debt. As far as he knew, many detectives would use this method to take private work. After all, if they really followed the regulations and reported and reviewed everything, the mistress would have run away to Shikoku.

Although it is against regulations, there is a reason why the Japanese police are called a group of good-for-nothings, and few police officers are free to take care of such things.

Moreover, it is unacceptable for a detective to have few police friends. Even if he is caught by the client, he has the means to deal with it. So whether to accept the case or not depends entirely on the thickness of the client's envelope.

"In that case, let's contact each other by phone."

After the matter was finalized, Yuanye Si had no intention of staying any longer.

In fact, it shouldn't be difficult to do this. Based on his understanding of Kato Masami, this woman's playful nature cannot be hidden. If she could restrain herself, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant and still not know who the father of the child is.

In addition, the sudden call from her husband two days ago further confirmed that this woman loves to play.

Cheating is like gambling. Once you try it, you can't stop. Even if you restrain yourself rationally temporarily, you will seize the opportunity if there is a chance.

"Mr. Yuanye, please wait a moment."

However, when Harano Tsukasa was about to leave with Shigeeda Shio, Miyazaki Masahiro suddenly stopped him.

"Anything else?"

"Actually, I have some free news that is more important to you. Are you interested in hearing it?"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"It's like this. About a week ago, a young lady came to me and asked me to follow someone for a long time, but I thought the time limit was too long and I didn't accept it. By the way, this commission is related to you."

Miyazaki Masahiro didn't keep him in suspense. Perhaps he was happy, so he started explaining to him with a smile.

"Is this person being followed me?"

Yuanye Si said without hesitation.

"Yes." Miyazaki Masahiro confirmed again.

"I saw your basic information at the beginning, so I remembered it when you came to me a few days later to ask for other things. I don't know if anyone took your request, but I only know that the lady who wanted to entrust you was named Suzumiya. I don't know anything more."

Yuan Ye Si frowned slightly upon hearing this, but then relaxed and nodded as usual, "Thank you."

"You're too kind."

Miyazaki Masahiro didn't say anything more.

After saying goodbye they left.

But this information made Yuanye Si alert and he began to think about countermeasures.

To be honest, Suzumiya Saka is easy to deal with.

The weakness of this icy boss is obvious. As long as the resistance does not touch her bottom line of dignity, she will basically not make any mistakes. If she is willing to continue, Harano Tsukasa might be able to hit a home run one night.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

We just hugged each other a few times after we met.

This has all been entangled.

What if it develops further?

A woman with such a strong possessiveness cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. A situation like Yuanye Si, who is destined to be entangled with many women, cannot be tolerated at all. Being together will only bring endless troubles.

He currently has no good solution.

I just hope that as time goes by, Suzumiya Sasaka will gradually stop paying attention to him like a normal person.

The detective agency is very close to Ikebukuro, and it was already past the evening rush hour, so it only took about ten minutes to drive home. During this time, Harano Tsukasa was thinking about how to deal with Suzumiya Sasaka. Since Shigeeda Shio made a deal with him, she has looked distraught, as if she had lost her soul, and followed him closely without saying a word.

This situation was not discovered until Harano Tsukasa took out the key, opened the door of the apartment and prepared to go in.

"Why are you still following me?"

"what?"

Zhong Zhixi looked up in confusion, and after a while she finally responded. She stared at Yuan Ye Si timidly and whispered, "No... Isn't it time to ravage me..."

Yuan Ye Si's face darkened when he heard this.

This child speaks so carelessly.

But Chong Zhixi's words reminded him that he almost forgot to make temporary arrangements for the child.

Glancing at the petite and thin figure of Shigeshi standing in front of him, Yuanye Si organized his words and said in a calm voice, "I'm not in a good mood today. You should go back and rest first. Also, don't go to work these two days, otherwise I'm afraid there will be no one when I need you."

After a pause, Harano Tsukasa pulled out a white envelope that was two fingers thick from his briefcase:
"Also, this one million yen is your salary for this month. I'll pay it in advance. Everything I said this afternoon is valid. If your father urgently needs to pay for surgery, please contact me at any time."

"have you understood?"

"I...I understand..." Chong Zhixi lowered her head, staring blankly at the envelope that was suddenly stuffed into her hand.

"Remember to have dinner and go to bed early."

After leaving these words, Yuanye Si walked straight into his apartment, without giving Shigeshita time to react, and closed the door with his backhand.

This action made Chongzhi Xi a little dazed.

It was as if Yuanye Si ran so fast because he was afraid that he would take away his innocence today.

and…

Is it so easy to get money?
