Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

"Sister Yoko, here is a document."

The young assistant ran over and handed the documents in his arms to Yoko Nakata.

Nakata Yoko took it and took a look at it, then nodded: "Okay, I will pass it on to Mr. Hori."

"Thank you, Sister Yoko."

The assistant bowed, then turned and walked back to his workstation.

Nakata Yoko turned around, the expression on her face faded a lot, and she walked to the door of her boss's office: "Knock knock——"

"Please come in."

The middle-aged man's deep voice came from the office.

Yoko Nakata walked into the office and said, "Mr. Hori, this is the bankruptcy declaration notice of Linlu Construction and the contract change notice."

She then handed another document to Hori Kangcheng: "Also, there's a summary of Linlu Construction's financial statements and a risk assessment."

Hori Kangcheng took the documents and looked through them carefully. When he saw the data and conclusions on them, his expression became serious and his brows were almost twisted into a knot.

Linlu Construction is really a mess.

Even if we take over such a mess, it will be meaningless.

After watching the end, Hori Yasumasa sighed, looked up at the woman in front of him, and his voice was full of fatigue: "Yoko, do you think the project they have is still worth taking over?"

He had been eyeing the project in the East City District for a long time, but unfortunately Linlu Construction played dirty and made their company fail at the last critical moment, so they failed to successfully win the project.

Now that Linlu Construction has collapsed, the projects they had in hand have naturally leaked out for their peers to take over.

It’s a pity that in the current situation, I’m afraid that the projects built by Linlu Construction are full of risks!

If they are not careful, their company may follow in the footsteps of Linlu Construction.

Nakata Yoko lowered her eyes, hiding the hatred in them, and raised her head to say to Hori Yasumasa, "I think this matter can still be discussed. After all, the project is very new, and Linlu Construction shouldn't mess it up so quickly. Perhaps we can go meet with the person in charge of this project."

Hori Yasumasa was a little surprised: "The person in charge of this project is still out there?"

Don't blame him for saying that. Linlu Construction involves too many things. Basically, police cars go there every day and bring people back every day. In the blink of an eye, almost all the top leaders are squatting there.

Therefore, when Hori Yasumasa heard that the person in charge was still outside, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Yes, because the person in charge did not meet the sentencing criteria, he was only fined administratively and was released smoothly a few days ago."

Yoko Nakata had obviously done her research ahead of time and was very knowledgeable when she brought up the matter.

Hori Kangcheng decisively agreed: "Okay, go and invite him. Let's set the time at 8 o'clock tonight. I will treat him to a meal."

Test the depth of this project.

Nakata Yoko didn't agree immediately. Instead, she took out her notebook and said very seriously, "Mr. Hori, you have a meeting at 7 o'clock tonight. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time."

"Also, you have a short business trip planned for tomorrow, and your appointments are already fully booked. Your only available time is next Monday at 7 p.m."

Hori Yasumasa held his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about this. Let's set it for next week."

Nakata Yoko made a note in her notebook and nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yoko."

Yoko Nakata didn't say anything, but just bowed slightly and walked out of the office.

Returning to her seat, she sat there in a daze.

She didn't know how much time had passed when her cell phone suddenly buzzed.

——It’s a text message.

Nakata Yoko picked it up and checked it, and found that it was indeed sent by that mysterious person——

[You really don't want to kill him? No one will help you except me.]

After just one glance, Yoko Nakata deleted the text message at lightning speed and frantically suppressed her heartbeat.

——No, he is just lying to you.

Yoko Nakata hypnotized herself in her heart.

This mysterious guy must have other intentions, so don't let him fool you...

Nakata Yoko took a deep breath, and the assistant's voice came from behind her: "Sister Yoko, it's time to prepare for the morning meeting."

"I understand." The woman picked up the small mirror on the table, looked at herself carefully, and carefully tucked the loose hair in front of her cheeks behind her ears. Her originally excited mood slowly calmed down.

She took a deep breath, stood up from her seat, picked up her phone and left in her high heels.

——From then on, the “mysterious person” upstairs could no longer see her.

The mysterious man Shirakawa Qiu put down the telescope, stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth, turned around and jumped off the rooftop.

The system was worried: "She didn't answer the host, could it be that she is unwilling..."

Bai Chuanqiu was very sure: "She will agree."

This is the best candidate he selected after observation.

The system watched in silence as Baichuan Qiu packed up the telescope and bread bag, turned around and walked downstairs. Finally, it spoke with some curiosity: "Host, have you selected people in this way before?"

Baichuan Qiu raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

The system asked weakly, "Are the host's former employers also selected in this way?"

Bai Chuanqiu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "I guess so."

System: “Is it?”

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged: "We were so poor back then, so I usually took a whole line and took advantage of several people. That way I could make more money."

System Eyes (○o○): “Huh?”

Baichuanqiu: "Simply put, A needs B to give in, B needs C to agree, C needs D to act first, and D needs E to change the policy. I usually take all their money for convenience and then directly solve the problem E at the source - for example, the Purton family did this."

System: "? So the host ended up accepting money from many families, and also made the Pulton family owe you a favor?"

Bai Chuanqiu spread his hands. "That was indeed an accident. I didn't expect it would turn out like this. Originally, a company just wanted me to be a risk consultant. As I was collecting money along the way, I accidentally discovered that the Pulton family was not only suitable for my plan, but also happened to be in need of someone like me, so I just included them."

System: "...Did the Purton family finally know?"

I feel like I've been cheated. If the Purton family knew that Baichuanqiu was just doing this for money, they would definitely feel very disillusioned...

Baichuanqiu grinned, his sharp shark teeth gleaming. "Of course not. As a risk consultant well-versed in human nature, the first lesson we must learn is to juggle many interests without letting our employers find out."

After all, finding an employer is like dating. If you let your employer know that he is not your only "little cutie", he will definitely be dissatisfied.

Besides, Baichuan Qiu was accepting money from multiple parties, which was equivalent to playing with multiple people at the same time and living off them...

Baichuan Qiu sighed softly, pretending to be melancholic and lamenting, "Perhaps this is why I, despite all my evil deeds, remain single until now."

Tsk tsk, it’s such a sin to think about it~
