Chapter 2008 2016 [Beauty is a disaster in Curacao] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Next to him, Curacao picked up the coffee that the waiter had just put down, took a sip, and hid the expression on his face.
She noticed at a glance that what Mrs. Xun said was both true and false, and there were also some subtle signs of performance.
——If it were another serious detective, upon hearing about Mrs. Xun’s tragic life story and her firm determination, he might be deeply moved and risk his life to protect her.
But Uzo...
Well, he might also be deeply moved, and then feel that this lady has admirable spirit, so he would be merciful and let her get her wish.
However, Curacao did not intend to intervene, as it did not conflict with her goals anyway.
"I have already accepted this mission, and there is no way I can withdraw from it. And what's the point of running away when I see Uzo? I'm not afraid of him, I just simply don't like this guy."
Curacao pressed his forehead and thought to himself, "If you think positively, being next to Uzo does have its advantages. For example, with his killing spree, he might kill my target in a blink of an eye. This saves me a lot of planning and aftermath."
Of course, everything has two sides, and there are disadvantages behind every advantage: the disadvantage is that you must always be careful and not let yourself be solved by him.
Curacao thought to himself while watching the development of the situation with a cold eye. He saw that Jiang Xia was indeed somewhat moved: "Leave it to me. I have several classmates who like to travel and go out. I often go to various places with them. I know which places are crowded and lively. I will definitely bring you the best memories of youth."
Mrs. Xun burst into laughter and said, "Thank you very much."
"Mom..." Xun Zhengwan felt very sad when he saw her looking like she was about to die.
He patted his mother's hand soothingly, then turned to Jiang Xia: "You saw the threatening letter, right? In fact, there is no need to check. The other two people in the family are not threatening. Only the eldest son is a bastard. The threatening letter must have been done by Ryunosuke. He is almost driving us to death. Since you are a detective, can't you just go and arrest him?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "I'm just a detective, not a policeman."
Xun Zhengwan snorted coldly: "Waste."
Curacao's fingers trembled, and she almost lost her grip on the cup. Fortunately, she was agile and quickly regained control of the cup. The others were now focused on Jiang Xia and Xun Zhengwan, and no one was paying attention to this side.
But there was one exception.
After Xun Zhengwan finished scolding Jiang Xia, he secretly glanced at Curacao out of the corner of his eye.
Xun Zhengwan usually lived in the old house, and the people he met were either ladies from wealthy families like his mother, or female classmates who were about his age and still wet behind the ears. After graduation, he did not go to work and stayed at home to accompany his mother.
Therefore, when this professional woman who called herself "Shirai Akiko" came into his sight, she immediately aroused his strong interest - she had a fascinating sense of mystery and reliability, as if she could do anything. In fact, it was Xun Zhengwan who suggested to his mother that Curacao come with him this time.
He originally thought that if someone dared to attack him while he was out, he would show his masculinity and let people see the strength of the next head of the family.
Who would have thought that after coming here, Miss Jingzi has been staring at Jiang Xia vaguely - there are usually many people in the family, but Miss Jingzi always comes and goes in a businesslike manner and has never looked at anyone more than once. How come today, it's as if she fell in love at first sight, and her eyes seem to be glued to the detective.
Xun Zhengwan: “…” What’s so good about a pretty boy detective?
While thinking, he stared at Jiang Xia seriously for a few seconds.
...Damn, it's really pretty.
Xun Zhengwan was forced to recognize this fact, and looked at himself in the reflection of the coffee. He put down the coffee cup with a thump, and suddenly became even more angry: these superficial women only know how to look at faces. He will soon be the head of the family, isn't he more prestigious than some little detective?
Next to him, Mrs. Xun saw his distorted expression, frowned, and gently hit him: "How can you talk to others like that? What did your mother teach you?"
Xun Zhengwan took a deep breath and forced a smile towards Jiang Xia: "I'm sorry."
Mrs. Xun also apologized to Jiang Xia: "This child used to be very polite, but recently my husband's will was published after his death, and he was very emotional... Although his words were a bit harsh, he is actually a good child and didn't mean it."
Jiang Xia obviously didn't take it to heart: "It's okay, I understand."
Hashimoto Maya silently lowered her head and drank coffee. She could guess why Xun Zhengwan was so arrogant. As the child of the second wife, he had no blood relationship with the head of the family, and he didn't look like a very capable person. This kind of person usually behaves submissively at home, but who would have thought that he would turn over and become the next head of the family. It's normal for him to be a little arrogant.
However, Hashimoto Maya always felt strange: usually these big families pay great attention to seniority, why did this family pass the throne to someone who was not related by blood? Could it be that Mrs. Xun was the true love of the previous head of the family?
Although the matter was strange, Hashimoto Maya had no intention of delving into it further.
——Is there any need to think about it? There must be some dark hand behind this! If we really investigate it, we might end up digging out a superior... He doesn't want to see such a scene.
It would be better to leave all the puzzle-solving work to Jiang Xia, and just be a brainless follower.
Maya Hashimoto's eyes and mind were empty, and she was trying hard to adapt to her wonderful new position.
…
Amidst everyone's different thoughts, the commission was negotiated very smoothly.
"Our luggage is still in the car. We will drop it off at the hotel later." Mrs. Xun stood up and said to Jiang Xia, "Since you are willing to take on the commission, I will book a room for you and your assistant when I book a hotel. Sorry to bother you tonight as well."
Jiang Xia responded, "There are still a few cats in the office that haven't been released yet. I'll let Mr. Hashimoto follow you for protection - I'll come right over after I finish dealing with things over there."
After a pause, remembering the sightseeing trip he had promised Mrs. Xun, he sent an email to Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran.
Then I got a reply quickly.
Jiang Xia received the remote guidance and looked up to Mrs. Xun and said, "It just so happens that there is a mermaid show at an aquarium today. Put down your luggage and take a rest. I will take you there when the time comes."
Mrs. Xun smiled gently: "Okay, I haven't been to an aquarium yet. Thank you for your help."
The five people quickly discussed the itinerary and left.
And after they left.
far away.
A luxury car that was parked quietly in the corner also restarted and drove towards Mrs. Xu's mansion.
Mrs. Xu, who was supposed to have "left" after completing this commission, was now sitting in the back seat with her legs crossed.
Seeing that the commission was being negotiated smoothly, she slowly raised the corners of her lips and was in a good mood.
