"According to the restaurant staff, all the bills for that day passed through this person's hands. It can be inferred that this person most likely mixed in a forged bill, then took it away after Sir Philcorn signed it."
"and... ..."
"The man disappeared completely the next day and was nowhere to be found. The manager didn't even know anything about it. He had inexplicably slept all day."
"I see, this is quite normal..."
Hulim was not too surprised by this result.
"but--"
"This level of investigation should be sufficient, right?"

"Ah! So that's how it is! I understand!"
Mi Ke clapped his hands in sudden realization.
But then he started mumbling again.
