Chapter 2056 2064 [Thesaurus] Ask for monthly votes ()
Hashimoto Maya also looked at this colleague in confusion, secretly alert in her heart: This is not normal. Could it be that Uzo gave her some task, and she was busy setting up at noon, so she was exhausted?
…I guess I have to be extra careful next time I go back to the hotel. Maybe she has set up a deadly trap somewhere. I must not be careless.
…
Everyone got into the car with their own thoughts and rushed to the home of Etsuko Furukawa's mother, ready to discuss the attack on old lady Furukawa.
When the car was almost there, it passed by the mansion next door. Hashimoto Maya looked out the window and was startled.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” The detached house next door actually has a nameplate with the word “Xun” on the door. Could it be that the owner’s surname is “Xun”?
The surname Xun is not very common, so it can't be such a coincidence.
He hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and silently followed Jiang Xia and the others out of the car.
…
Jiang Xia also took a look at the house when passing by, but quickly looked away and concentrated on the upcoming commission.
He walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
The intercom doorbell soon buzzed, and someone answered, "Who is this?"
Jiang Xia: "I am the detective who made an appointment with Ms. Etsuko Furukawa."
Furukawa Etsuko had apparently mentioned this to her mother's family, and the young woman on the doorbell quickly said, "Okay, wait a moment."
As soon as she finished speaking, the electronic door clicked open, signaling everyone to go in.
Passing by the yard, Maya Hashimoto inadvertently looked up and found that a window on the second floor facing the street was wide open and there was no light in the room.
He hesitated for a moment, but didn't care: With so many rooms in a wealthy family, it's normal to forget to close one or two windows... well, probably.
As he was thinking, he saw Jiang Xia enter the house from the corner of his eye, and Hashimoto Maya hurriedly took a few steps to catch up. He had gradually figured out the trick recently: no matter what, the longer you stay next to the detective, the lower the probability of becoming a suspect. If conditions permit, following this nominal detective boss closely is the top priority to save your life.
Jiang Xia was too lazy to figure out the complicated thoughts of his new brother; he just needed to harvest the murderous aura from time to time.
Obviously, there were not many conditions that could cause him to show murderous intent now, so Jiang Xia did not look back, but walked into the entrance and looked around the hall.
In the spacious hall, there was only a young woman busying around. She was wearing an apron and must be a servant of the family.
Seeing the guests coming in, she quickly took out her slippers and bent down to put them on for them.
Finding Jiang Xia watching the hall, the maid apologized and explained why the owner didn't come out to greet the guests: "I'm so sorry, Miss Furukawa and Mr. Furukawa are not at home. The old lady is resting upstairs - she was attacked and injured three days ago, and her injuries haven't fully healed yet."
Xun Zhengwan was also about to become the president, and his family's company seemed to be involved in similar business. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine: "Is it so dangerous to be the president of a loan company?"
Curacao: “…” Other presidents are actually quite dangerous too.
Mrs. Xun comforted her son: "Because people often owe money and don't pay it back, the loan company sometimes has to take some tough measures, which can easily lead to retaliation - but it's too early to think about these things. The company will leave those matters to professionals, and you just need to learn how to handle them slowly."
Xun Zhengwan felt relieved, fortunately he had his mother as a reliable supporter.
The maid didn't want to discuss old lady Furukawa's family affairs, so she smiled and avoided the topic, going to pour them tea.
Jiang Xia glanced at the watch and found that it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.
The maid knew that they had an appointment with Etsuko Furukawa at 7 o'clock. Now Miss Furukawa was obviously late, so she tried to smooth things over: "Ms. Furukawa is usually very punctual. She may have something to do today and can't leave. Her company has been very busy recently."
"It doesn't matter. We have nothing to do tonight anyway." Xun Zhengwan waved his hand and took back the initiative. He looked at the TV in the corner of the room, "Where's the remote control? I'll watch TV to kill time."
The maid looked even more apologetic. "I'm so sorry, the TV didn't work this morning."
Xunzhengwan: "..."
When he was in a bad mood, he became a little picky: "Although it is hard for you to manage such a big house, since it is a job, you should be thorough - the TV that broke this morning has not been repaired yet, and there is a window on the second floor that was left open and forgotten to be closed. Is this how you usually go to work?"
The maid said awkwardly: "This..."
Before she finished her words, a arrogant laugh floated from the door: "How dare she close the window on the second floor? That is the bedroom of the great president of the Furukawa Loan Company, Furukawa Katsue. If the old woman wants to open the window herself, who can close it?"
Jiang Xia glanced at the door and saw a young man with an afro.
The young man was holding a cigarette and was about to walk in. But before he entered the room, he glanced at the sofa and saw a beautiful woman in a business suit sitting there. So he turned around and posed against the door frame.
Curacao: “…”
The actors chosen by Uzo are all very fond of acting.
So she had to do the opposite and reduce her desire to perform to a minimum... Fortunately, she didn't have that desire to begin with.
The organization cadre was silently taking notes in her mind, and next to her, Mrs. Xun looked at this familiar man and asked, "Are you Etsuko's brother?"
"My name is Furukawa Koji." The young man laughed. "'Etsuko's younger brother' is a rare title. People usually call me 'President Furukawa's son'. After all, compared to my mother who made a fortune by loan sharking, my sister who was on the verge of bankruptcy was not even worthy of being called presentable."
He approached carelessly and glanced at the maid provocatively as he passed by: "That window is opened for a while every night for ventilation, right, Xiaozi?"
Machida Azusa nodded, and dodged when he approached. It was obvious that he didn't like this young master very much.
Furukawa Koji didn't care. He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs skillfully, and looked at Jiang Xia: "Are you the detective my sister hired? She actually invited a celebrity, and her small film and television company can even afford the commission - Hey, don't blame me for not telling you in advance, you were used by her."
When Hashimoto Maya heard this word, her heart skipped a beat. Now he is allergic to words like "conspiracy", "secret", "trick", and "use" is of course in his stage trigger vocabulary.
But before I had time to think about it, the doorbell rang.
The maid hurried over, turned on the switch, and greeted him skillfully: "Hello, who is this?"
"It's me."
A somewhat tired voice came. The destined client I met while shopping in the afternoon, Furukawa Etsuko, came back.
