Chapter 1997 2005 [Uzo's Business Chain]
After buying this small, shabby cinema, Hashimoto Maya immediately found a construction team to start the renovation. Although he was just a rookie who had only been working at Uzo for a few days, as someone who had previously been a confidant of a cadre, he could almost be called an omnipotent person, and Hashimoto Maya handled these small matters with ease.
It was only when she received Uzo's next instruction that Hashimoto Maya learned of her boss's plan to acquire the cinema.
"After the opening, we will promote it together with the Undersea Theater..." Hashimoto Maya nodded in her mind: This is easy to understand. No one would go to the Undersea Theater because of its shabby location. But with this cinema on the commercial street attracting people, maybe a few people with free time and money can take time to go there.
But the second command...
"Pay attention to the guests attracted to the haunted house and the cinema. If there are famous detectives from other places, take Jiang Xia there as well?"
Hashimoto Maya's eyes twitched: "Isn't one old enemy enough? He actually uses a famous detective to raise a Gu, and he is also using so many detectives at the same time. It's really scary. But Jiang Xia will not lose to those outsiders."
…
Although she had some complaints about her boss's decision, Maya Hashimoto certainly didn't say anything, but instead worked quickly.
After simply settling on the cinema, he went to the deceased's agency again to get the contact information of the seller of the land where the underwater restaurant was located.
However, the president was dead, and the company was about to close down. The few remaining employees looked miserable.
When the front desk staff heard that Hashimoto Maya was asking for the seller's contact information, they refused decisively: "I'm so sorry, but the president is currently in charge of that piece of land. We can't provide you with its information without the president's permission."
Hashimoto Maya gently reminded: "But your president passed away."
Employee: “Yes.”
Hashimoto Maya: "Shouldn't someone else be in charge of this area?"
The employees were too lazy to think about this precarious company and decided to follow the procedures: "Okay, but it needs the president's approval."
Hashimoto Maya's eyes twitched slightly: "But didn't your president pass away?"
Employee: “Yes.”
“…”
Hashimoto Maya stared at the repeater that moved with every poke, trying her best to be patient: "Then can we let someone else take charge of the approval?"
Employee: "Of course, we can, but our company has a clear division of labor, and job transfers require the approval of the president."
Hashimoto Maya: "...You should know that your president has passed away."
Employee: “Yes, I’m so sorry.”
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
The desire to kill suddenly arose.
...and held it back with difficulty.
He took a deep breath and smiled: "Excuse me."
Then he turned and left.
…
There is a cafe downstairs of this agency. There are many such small office buildings, and this one is no exception.
Ten minutes later, Maya Hashimoto pushed open the door of the cafe, found a seat in the corner, sat down, and took out the laptop she had just taken.
He pushed up his sunglasses and typed on the keyboard for a while, but hesitated after finishing:
It's not difficult to get the contact information from the agency upstairs. With their broken system, there's no need to find a professional hacker. Hashimoto Maya can hack into it herself, but...
"But after that, how can I explain where I got the information from?"
Hashimoto Maya suddenly became worried.
With Jiang Xia's insight, the only reason he dared to hang around this detective was that he had not committed any crime recently. Even if Jiang Xia suspected him, he would not be able to find anything.
But stealing information is obviously illegal. Although Jiang Xia seems to only deal with murder cases, but... what if?
Maya Hashimoto's face changed several times. After hesitating for a moment, she silently turned on the computer.
Forget it, forget it.
That piece of land does not belong to the agency. Now that the agency is gone, the seller may soon find someone else to handle the matter.
——Anyway, there is more than one task to be done, so let’s start with the island of Suzuki’s family. If after we deal with that one, the seller here still doesn’t upload the information, we can think of other ways then.
If all else fails, he can also find an agent and ask the agent to find a way to contact the seller. After all, those agents are professionals and certainly have more connections than he does, so they might be able to contact the seller quickly.
Maya Hashimoto regretfully stopped her hacking activities, packed her bags, and prepared to find another agent in despair.
…
On the other hand, unlike the busy members of the organization, Jiang Xia had a very comfortable day today.
After finishing the business at the cinema and completing the statement at the police station, the three children were about to sneak away.
However, just as they reached the door, a hand came across and stopped them.
The three of them froze, then slowly raised their heads, and saw Jiang Xia standing in front of them with a smile: "You must not have had a good time today after encountering something like this. Can I take you somewhere else to play?"
Three children: “…”
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya reacted the fastest. He glanced at his watch and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Jiang Xia, but no need for that...homework! Yes, we still have homework to do."
The other two kids came to their senses and nodded frantically.
Huiyuan Ai: "..." Homework? Where did the homework come from?
But thinking about today, Jiang Xia's friendship with the three children has already had a good start, and it should be progressed step by step. She sighed and did not expose them.
Jiang Xia thought of something else: There has been a case today, and the possibility of another one is not high. Children, if they want to go back, they can go back. Go to bed early and get up early to have good energy and continue next time.
So he didn't stop them and waved goodbye to the three children.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief: "They were so well behaved today, which is really unusual." There is always a sense of suspense that one would expect naughty kids to make trouble, but they never do. After all this trouble, he feels more tired than usual.
Jiang Xia seemed to notice his tiredness and asked the two fake kids, "You have nothing to do anyway, why don't you go back and take a walk?"
Conan remembered that he passed by a bookstore on his way to the movie city, and he was tempted: "Okay, let's go see if there are any new mystery books."
——Originally he wanted to watch that movie, but Jiang Xia spoiled the plot before he even entered the theater... He didn't believe that Jiang Xia had also read the mystery book he bought this time.
Jiang Xia looked at Huiyuan Ai again: "Let's go."
Huiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment and nodded: Hashimoto Maya just scared her, but it was a false alarm. In this case, it should be okay to go shopping, as I haven't been shopping for a long time.
The three of them hit it off immediately. Since their previous stroll was interrupted in the commercial street, they went there again and started their stroll again.
On the way, Jiang Xia passed by a real estate company that was not doing well. He suddenly felt something and turned to look over there.
