Chapter 2054 2062 [Loyalty]
Lawyer Xun nodded. He searched in his bag, took out a photo, and pushed it across the table in front of Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was a photo of a woman alone. The person in the photo was young and beautiful, and when she was placed with the bearded lawyer Xun, they did not look like a couple, but more like father and daughter.
Lawyer Xun: "This is my wife, Kazumi."
Jiang Xia handed the photo to Hashimoto Maya and asked him to take a look at it.
Hashimoto Maya took over. Catching cats and catching mistresses are the basic tasks of detectives. Moreover, compared with murder cases, he, who switched careers from an organization, is actually better at this.
Under normal circumstances, Hashimoto Maya would have taken the initiative to accept the job. But now he felt that there was something fishy going on, so he asked cautiously, "Any more detailed information?"
Lawyer Xun nodded and gave his wife's name, address, places she often went to and where she worked.
Jiang Xia looked through the information and asked for details: "Have you already determined that she cheated on you and want to find the specific person she cheated on you with, or do you only have suspicions in your heart and have never had any conclusive evidence?"
Lawyer Xun pondered: "Although I haven't seen it, I feel that she must have it."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” So is there or not?
Jiang Xia: "So do you want to find out the identity of the person you cheated with, or get detailed evidence of your wife's cheating?"
Lawyer Xun: "In fact, she may not have really cheated on me. I still believe her."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Then why are you looking for a detective!
Jiang Xia took a sip of iced black tea, sat calmly, and continued to ask: "Assuming that she really cheated, what kind of feedback do you want to get?"
Lawyer Xun: "Well... Actually, I would rather hear that she didn't cheat on her husband. If she did, it shouldn't be her fault."
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
After a lot of repetitive conversations, Lawyer Xun seemed very confused. After an hour or two of hesitation, they finally finalized the contents of the commission.
——It seems that Lawyer Xun obviously knows about his wife's affair, but he doesn't want to admit it. He still wants to maintain this marriage, so he asks Jiang Xia not to expose the investigation of Mrs. Xun, as long as he finds out who the mistress behind the scenes is.
After finishing the conversation and leaving Lawyer Tatsumi's room, Hashimoto Maya was already a little dazed: Such a small matter could be discussed back and forth for nearly two hours, is this really something a famous lawyer can do?
Love brain is really scary.
...No, it's still unclear what this guy's purpose is.
…
Since Jiang Xia is currently accepting other commissions and Lawyer Xun seems to be struggling internally, this hesitant client did not directly request to start the investigation now.
Instead, he was very kind and gave Jiang Xia enough time, agreeing to wait until the matter between Mrs. Xun and Xun Zhengwan was over before conducting the investigation into the infidelity.
Jiang Xia was not in a hurry to check this. But when the two of them finished their discussion and returned to the floor where Hashimoto Maya's room was, they saw Mrs. Tatsumi and Tatsumi Maru walking out together, as if they were going somewhere.
"Are you done talking?" Mrs. Xun was stunned for a moment when she saw them, then smiled and said, "It's almost noon, we plan to go eat, let's go together."
Jiang Xia nodded, but then he remembered something: "Where is Miss Jingzi?"
Mrs. Xun: "She said she's not hungry."
Jiang Xia showed a worried expression: "If you don't eat, your body will collapse. I'll go and call her to come along. Besides, she is the one who keeps the will of the Xun family master and is vulnerable to attack. We should try to act together in the future."
As he said that, he walked towards Curacao's room.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." For some reason, Curacao is clearly in the same group as Uzo, but she doesn't seem to want to get involved in these cases. Could it be that Uzo kept the script so secret that even she didn't know the plot, so she was worried about being accidentally injured?
Having said that, this kind of scenario of leaving the team and acting alone should be prone to accidents. Is she quite courageous, or is this actually Uzo's request?
…
Jiang Xia ignored his new subordinate who was secretly speculating behind his back, and quickly went to Curacao's room and knocked him out.
Curacao: “…”
...This person is really annoying!
Of course she knew that flying solo could easily lead to trouble, but she actually intended to take this opportunity to temporarily leave and completely avoid the area where Uzo was, and then wait until the day when the will was made public to go directly back to Xun's house, thus avoiding a lot of trouble in between.
...Unfortunately, before I could put my idea into practice, this guy Uzo came to me persistently.
"I haven't been involved in any of your cases, so why do you have to take me along?" Curacao couldn't help but whispered, "Aren't those two enough?"
Jiang Xia was a little surprised, and said as if he was doing it for her own good: "You are usually busy with work, and it is a rare opportunity to have fun with public funds. Why don't you go?"
Curacao: “…” There have been four murders in just two days. The only people I come into contact with every day are police officers. You call this fun?
Her fists hardened.
Jiang Xia took a breath of the fresh air and left the room: "Okay, stop hanging around. If you continue like this, I'll find Rum and report you for slacking off."
Curacao: "..." You went to look for rum? Do you know what it means to throw a meat bun at a dog?
But I suddenly remembered what happened in the park, and Rum who was still confident despite having his hand injured by the explosion...
Curacao was silent for a moment.
...Or maybe it's a dog-eat-meat bun?
Suddenly a voice sounded beside him: "Are you cursing me in your heart?"
Curacao: “…I didn’t.”
Jiang Xia: "Then you are cursing Rum."
Curacao felt guilty.
She walked out the door as if nothing had happened, interrupting the conversation with her actions: "Okay, hurry up and work, aren't we going to have dinner with Mrs. Xun?"
…
Thanks to the efforts of the detective who loves unity, the small five-person tour group was finally reunited.
The three of them went to have lunch and then went shopping.
Maybe yesterday's trip to the amusement park was too tight, and apart from the case in the morning, nothing else happened today.
Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but lag behind a few steps and muttered beside Curacao, "One case the day before yesterday, two cases yesterday, and I thought there would be three cases today. But now it seems there is only one?"
Curacao looked straight ahead, only moving his lips slightly: "I'm not interested in these."
Hashimoto Maya: "Stop pretending. You are here to help that demon... ahem, my wise and resourceful boss."
Curacao: “…”
For a moment, she didn't know whether to refute from the point of "her wisdom and bravery" or to start from the point of "she is in cahoots with Wuzo".
...By the way, since Hashimoto switched to Usa's team, he has become more and more daring, and he has even started to ignore her, a truly wise and capable cadre.
