Chapter 2114 2122 [Cooperation]
On the opposite side, Mrs. Asahi's attention was not on Hashimoto Maya at all, but was concentrating on looking at Jiang Xia.
Mrs. Xun was her distant cousin, and the two of them didn’t have much interaction. They only gradually resumed contact after Mrs. Xun married into a wealthy family.
Mrs. Asahi had been in Tokyo for a long time and was well-informed. She had only met them twice out of courtesy, but she had guessed the secrets of the Tatsumi family from the looks of Tatsumi Seimaru and Tatsumi Ryunosuke, as well as the personality of her cousin.
So as soon as the head of the Xun family passed away, she received the news.
Mrs. Xu happened to be very interested in Jiang Xia, a detective who was involved in murder cases, so she casually chatted with Mrs. Xun about Jiang Xia, wanting to use this cousin to do a small experiment. Sure enough, Mrs. Xun was soon tempted and brought her fake son over with an attitude of trying her best.
"I didn't expect that they had been traveling together for such a long time and none of them were fine, but they died as soon as they returned to Xun's house."
Mrs. Xu thought to herself, "And both mother and son are dead. So it seems that I gave up too hastily before - maybe my wish to use detectives to defeat business rivals can really come true?
"Anyway, next time you encounter an annoying opponent, invite Jiang Xia to his house and give it a try. If it works, you'll make a profit. If it doesn't, there's no loss."
Across the street, Hashimoto Maya came back to her senses from the land issue and saw Mrs. Asahi's gaze. She was secretly alert: Last time this woman was interested in Jiang Xia, she could have said that she wanted to ask Jiang Xia to take over the commission. But this time...
Hashimoto Maya thought suspiciously: "Could it be that she is also my colleague?"
Fortunately, perhaps Mrs. Asahi was good at disguising herself, or perhaps Wuzo really did not have that many minions. After noticing his gaze, Mrs. Asahi finally withdrew her gaze with dignity.
Then the widowed rich lady picked up her purse and stood up gracefully: "I have a meeting later, so let's leave it at that for today - we'll meet again when we're free."
…
After Mrs. Asahi left, Jiang Xia looked at Hashimoto Maya's contract and politely expressed his curiosity: "This piece of land... I remember there was an explosion before? What do you want this for?"
Hashimoto Maya's face twisted: "It's to do some small business."
This is a lie.
The truth, of course, is that it was used to open a theater in the sea for Uzo.
For his little hobby, Wuzo really spared no effort. If there were no closed conditions for "Snowstorm Villa", he would create them. Who knows how many unlucky people will be trapped to death when this isolated island in the sea is built.
However, when this was mentioned, Maya Hashimoto couldn't help but worry: the land was obtained, but the theater could not be built directly on it.
Because Wu Zo specifically wanted the theater on the isolated island, he had to follow his boss's instructions and move the theater brick by brick, intact, and even the soil three meters underground had to be transported here.
"Why did Uzo choose that theater? It would have been much better to just build a new theater. But now the workload has doubled..."
Hashimoto Maya didn't quite understand her boss's hobby, but she had to do as she was told: "Come to think of it, I remember that the island belongs to the Suzuki family, why not just let Suzuki Sonoko give the island? This minion has a lot of money, he should be happy to contribute a small island to Usa."
But he soon figured it out himself: "Although the organization is very secretive, it is not small after all. There are always some institutions that can notice it, and the forces related to the organization are also easy to attract investigation. It may be that Uzo deliberately asked me, an 'outsider', to bring the island here through formal channels in order to hide his relationship with the Suzuki family."
Next to him, when Jiang Xia saw Hashimoto Maya distracted, he knew that the sensible new younger brother was filling in the details himself.
So he stopped asking questions and waited patiently for this capable Irish former confidant to take care of the theater affairs.
There was a unique earthbound ghost in the theater. Jiang Xia had sensed it before on the island, but he couldn't catch the ghost. He could only vaguely sense that it was hidden in the entire theater.
It seemed that the new ghost liked the theater very much. In this case, as a respectful psychic, Jiang Xia could only work harder and drag the entire theater back to Tokyo to express his sincerity.
Now that half of the goal has been achieved, it should not be long before new ghosts are added to the account.
…
Perhaps it is because the last-in-first-out system is really suitable for stimulating the potential of subordinates, or it may be that the goal has been half achieved, making people feel that victory is in sight.
In short, Hashimoto Maya's efficiency suddenly became higher. He talked to Jiang Xia, his considerate boss, and successfully asked Jiang Xia to help him make an appointment with Suzuki Sonoko.
"Want to buy an island from my sister?" Suzuki Sonoko quickly remembered which island she was referring to. She looked at Hashimoto Maya with a strange look in her eyes. "Is it the theater island we stumbled across a while ago? What do you want this for?"
In Suzuki Sonoko's view, what happened on the island was simply inhumane: her friend's drama club was almost wiped out, and Taro Izuka and Mr. Kurosawa Kazuma, who were on the island at the time, also died one after another, as if they were cursed by something terrible.
...Hmm? Curse.
Suzuki Sonoko looked Hashimoto Maya up and down and said, "Are you possessed by the ghosts of your two friends? Or do you want to buy the island to commemorate them? I understand your feelings, but aren't you afraid that you will be cursed after buying the island?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…” How dare you say Uzo is a curse? You are so brave!
...He is a magnanimous man and doesn't have the habit of telling tales behind others' backs.
If you didn't know the inside story, Maya Hashimoto would indeed be scared when she mentioned the island.
But the problem was that he knew very well: there was no curse or bad luck at all - even if there was, it was actually a concrete person, Uzo.
And now, to be honest, he, Hashimoto Maya, has become a member of Lord Usa's team.
As long as you work hard and don't make some obvious mistakes, it shouldn't be a big problem... well, probably.
Therefore, Hashimoto Maya was not afraid at all. He just felt that Suzuki Sonoko, his scheming colleague, was secretly tripping him up again.
So he insisted: "This world is materialistic. There is no curse, and there are no ghosts. I just like the design of the theater very much. I happened to have some spare money recently, so I wanted to buy it as a souvenir."
Suzuki Sonoko: "Well... okay then." It just so happened that her sister was also frightened by what happened on the island, but she had been too busy recently and had not had the time to deal with it. Now that someone is offering help, she should be happy.
She thought about it and said, "My sister is planning to go out with us soon. I'll ask you to come along."
