Chapter 14 Exhibition Invitation

"Tea, please."

Sakaki Makoto placed two cups of hot water on the coffee table.

"Ah, thank you."

Megure Jusan and Suzuki Sonoko said in unison.

After changing his clothes, Makoto Sakaki entertained the two "uninvited guests" in the living room.

Compared with the level of cleanliness, the study is obviously a good place to entertain guests, but there are secrets there that cannot be known by others.

If Inspector Megure found out that I had a gun hidden in my house...

"Ahem, I wonder what brings you two here today?"

Sakaki Makoto decided to get straight to the point and quickly send them off. It was almost noon and he had to go out for an interview in the afternoon.

I don't want to lose my job with a monthly salary of 1 million.

"I'll speak first!"

Suzuki Sonoko spoke before Megure Jusan: "Mr. Sakaki, my family is going to hold an exhibition soon. Are you interested in participating?"

"No."

"Well... Xiaolan is going to participate in a karate tournament soon. Are you interested in going to watch it together?"

"No."

Sakaki Makoto didn't hesitate. He had no interest in any karate competition or exhibition.

After being ruthlessly rejected, Suzuki Sonoko was a little depressed, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Sakaki Makoto.

"What if I want to hire you, Mr. Sakaki, as a bodyguard to protect the gems that we will exhibit at the exhibition..."

Suzuki Sonoko tried to ask...

"How much is the reward?"

"Five hundred thousand yen a day."

"Please let me come!"

Sakaki Makoto stood up excitedly, held the surface skin of Suzuki Sonoko's hands, his eyes fiery.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s about money or not, I’m mainly interested in the exhibition!”

"But you just said you didn't want to come to the exhibition..."

Sakaki Makoto tilted his head: "Did I say that?"

"You must have remembered it wrong, Ms. Suzuki."

Suzuki Sonoko is in a mess.

"Ahem...Brother Sakaki Makoto, this is the reward the police promised to pay you."

Megure Juzo pushed a thick envelope over.

There were thirty pictures of Fukuzawa Yukichi inside.

Sakaki Makoto was very dissatisfied with the way the police handled the case.

But Sakaki Makoto was very pleased with the police's decisiveness in paying the reward.

"In addition to these rewards, I would also like to invite you, Brother Sakaki Makoto, to join the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division."

Sakaki Makoto was stunned: "Become a policeman?"

"Yes, I think your talent, Brother Sakaki Makoto, should not be buried."

Megure Jusan nodded: "The gangster who robbed the convenience store last night was subdued by you. With such a strong ability to act, it is perfect for us to investigate."

There is one thing that Megure Juzo didn't say, which is that the detectives of the Investigation Section 1 are facing extremely vicious criminals, so personal ability is very important.

If you are not careful, your life may be in danger.

After saying this, Megure Jusan began to observe the changes in Sakaki Makoto's expression.

What surprised him was that Sakaki Makoto acted very calmly, as if he was not surprised by his invitation.

"I have a question."

"If I join the Metropolitan Police Department, will I still get rewards when I solve a case?"

This is what Makoto Sakaki is most concerned about.

After all, a debt of 50 million is no joke.

It is written in black and white and is legally binding.

The results were disappointing.

"Solving cases is the duty of the police and the responsibility of the police. How can there be a reward for it?"

"But the more cases you solve, the faster you'll be promoted."

"With your ability, Brother Sakaki Makoto, I'm afraid you'll be able to become a police inspector soon."

No wonder all the capable people become detectives, no one likes the police.

Sakaki Makoto muttered inwardly.

How great it is to be a detective. You have free time and can get handsome rewards for helping the police solve cases, hundreds of thousands of yen for one case. You can also take on private jobs. Isn't it better than working in a police station and suffering 996 hours a day?

It should be said that it is too strong.

That’s why detectives are so popular, and the police rely entirely on detectives to solve cases.

If I hadn't happened to pass by yesterday, I'm afraid Shibasaki Ichiro's case would have ended in suicide...

I have to find a way to refuse.

With a quick glance, Sakaki Makoto picked up the letter on the table and said, "What a coincidence, Inspector Megure."

"Although I also want to be a police officer, but... I have already found a job..."

"Look, this is the interview invitation they sent me."

"Qingchang Biological Experimental Research Institute?"

Megure Jusan saw the address on the letter and said in surprise, "Brother Sakaki Makoto, you graduated from the Academy of Literature. Not only do you know medicine and reasoning, but you also have some experience in biological research?"

"Uh... I understand a little bit."

Sakaki Makoto laughed it off and got away with it.

"I see..." Megure Jusan sighed regretfully.

"Since Brother Sakaki Makoto has already found a job, the police should not force him to do anything."

"However, the door of the Metropolitan Police Department is always open to you, Brother Sakaki Makoto. If you figure it out, you can call me anytime."

A business card was handed over.

Sakaki Makoto took the business card, picked up the teacup, and after a long time glanced at Megure Jusan and Suzuki Sonoko, and found that they had no intention of leaving.

Sure enough, serving tea to see off guests doesn't work in Japan...

well....

Sakaki Makoto thought for a moment and smiled, "Oh, it's getting late. Inspector Megure and Ms. Suzuki, how about staying for lunch?"

Megure Jusan: “No need.”

Suzuki Sonoko: "Okay, okay!"
