Chapter 2052 2060 [Uzo's Evaluation]
Xun Zhuangping handed Jiang Xia a business card without even looking at his adopted nephew next to him.
Jiang Xia replied easily.
Xun Zhuangping glanced at the occupation listed and smiled enthusiastically: "It's you, after all. You are very famous in our legal community."
Mrs. Xun looked at this scene in surprise. This brother-in-law always had a bad temper and was even more indifferent to her, his step-wife. She didn't expect that he would be so polite to Jiang Xia.
...that's a bit strange.
Just as he was thinking, Xun Zhuangping turned his head and looked at Mrs. Xun: "I originally arranged for a detective to come here to discuss the commission, but the guy was arrested for being involved in a theft case and stood me up - you are Mr. Jiang Xia's current client, right? If your case is not urgent, why don't you let me have the person first?"
Mrs. Xun nodded: "I'm not in a hurry, but..."
Xun Zhuangping turned to Jiang Xia and said, "Let's go. My office is over here. I have a commission and would like to ask you for help."
Although he tried his best to show his enthusiasm and politeness, he obviously did not give others room for refusal.
Jiang Xia looked at him and followed him decisively.
After taking two steps, he remembered something and turned to look at Curacao: "Ms. Jingzi, this Mr. Xun Zhuangping is a senior in the legal field. Don't you plan to ask him for an autograph or something?"
Curacao thought of the high school girl next to Uzo who had collected a stack of rare autographs, and his eyes twitched slightly: "No, thank you. We lawyers don't care about autographs, we prefer to keep the admiration in our hearts."
Lawyer Xun was very pleased to hear this, and his eyes towards the group of people became a little friendlier. Just then the elevator arrived, and he said, "You guys want to go upstairs too? Let's go together."
As the elevator ascended, Jiang Xia and Attorney Xun chatted casually: "Will you discuss your client at the hotel?"
Lawyer Xun nodded: "I rented a suite in this hotel for a long time and used it as an office. I usually have many guests coming from all over the country. Setting up the office here is just right for them to discuss business as soon as they check in, which saves a lot of time."
Maya Hashimoto yawned and looked at the expensive five-star hotel. She thought that being a lawyer could be very profitable if one did well.
When talking about his career, Maya Hashimoto couldn't help but feel sad: although it was tiring when he followed Ireland, as a member of an organization walking in the dark, he always had a bit of a carefree attitude in his heart when he was busy.
But now that he has a more powerful boss, his life safety has become a big problem. He lives in fear day by day, and now he just wants to be an ordinary civilian away from disputes.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." If he had known this would happen, he should have studied hard and worked in any industry. It would be better than falling into Uzo's hands now.
Just as I was thinking absentmindedly, there was a ding sound and the elevator arrived.
The first room we arrived at was Mrs. Xun and her husband's.
Hashimoto Maya has also been living here recently on a commission basis. He was about to sneak down with his three companions in a low-key manner. Just as he was about to take a step, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
Hashimoto Maya: “!”
Jiang Xia introduced the lawyer, "This is the assistant from our detective agency. Let him stay with us."
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
Xun Zhuangping stared at the mixed-race man, frowned, and looked him up and down very critically.
After a moment, I felt it looked familiar.
He thought about it carefully, and he actually remembered that he had seen something about Hashimoto Maya when he happened to be watching the news. It seemed like she was a heroic co-pilot. How did she become a detective again?
Although he was a little confused, since Jiang Xia said so, Xun Zhuangping did not forcefully refute it.
He pressed the elevator door close button and continued walking towards the floor he reserved: "Then let's take a look together."
…
The elevator quickly reached the floor where Xun Zhuangping was.
Xun Zhuangping opened the door, revealing a spacious and bright business suite with floor-to-ceiling windows.
It was obvious that he had lived here for a long time. When he came back, he felt as relaxed as if he were home. He entertained the two guests: "Would you like something to drink?"
Seeing that he was planning to have a long talk, Hashimoto Maya didn't want to get involved with the commission: "No need, we'll leave after listening."
"Haha, don't be nervous." Xun Zhuangping looked at his watch. "The commission is not urgent. We can talk about it slowly. It would be too boring if we don't have something to drink to kill time."
As he said this, he picked up the receiver of the landline phone in the entrance hall, ordered room service, and asked the hotel to send up coffee.
Hashimoto Maya looked at him and gradually felt something was wrong: when this man was looking for Jiang Xia just now, he looked very anxious, and he kept looking at his watch from the time he went upstairs until now. Why did he become less anxious after entering the room?
And from what he said just now, it seems that Lawyer Xun had made an appointment with another detective in advance, but that person was unable to show up due to force majeure, so Xun Zhuangping hurriedly looked for Jiang Xia again - as if what was important was not the detective or the commission, but finding a detective to find a commission at this time.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." One case the day before yesterday, two cases yesterday, and another case this morning. It won't come again so soon.
What exactly did Wu Zuo want to do? Was he trying to show his new subordinate what a true king of rolls is?
As Hashimoto Maya thought about it, she broke out in a cold sweat, and some bad scenes gradually emerged in her mind: for example, when he went to report to Uzo, Uzo was sitting behind a large desk with his legs crossed, flipping through the case reports of that period in his hands.
Then the boss suddenly threw the thick stack of reports at him and said, "You've read a lot during this period, so you should have learned everything. From now on, this job is handed over to you. Continue to create cases at this frequency and quality. If the quantity is not enough...you will do it yourself."
Hashimoto Maya's eyes went dark.
He suddenly recalled the time in the five-story pagoda, when Jiang Xia had asked him to fast forward to solving the case before he had even found a few clues.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” The Tokyo version of Sherlock Holmes and the organization version of Moriarty do have similarities. It’s like to their subordinates, they are all devils.
Of course, the nature is different. Jiang Xia is sincerely creating opportunities for employees, but unfortunately he is an undercover agent whose identity cannot be exposed.
On the other side, attorney Xun felt that this detective assistant was a little strange. But it was too late to change the client now.
He looked at his watch and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. Please go ahead."
He entered the bathroom, and within two seconds, the phone in the entrance hall rang.
"Why did you call at this time?" Lawyer Xun complained through the bathroom door. "Can you help me answer the phone? Just say I'm busy and will call back soon."
Jiang Xia nodded and patted Hashimoto Maya.
Maya Hashimoto stared at the ringing phone, took a deep breath, and moved over in small steps.
