Chapter 532 Boss, what's wrong with you, Boss? (Anti-theft extra update)
Suzuki Ayako held the teacup elegantly and answered:
"In the upstairs bedroom. Mrs. Torakura wants to see him."
"Oh..." Suzuki Sonoko responded and sat on the sofa.
Then he recalled Mrs. Torakura's strange reaction to Jiang Xia when they entered the villa, and suddenly became alert: "...Bedroom!?"
She glanced upstairs again and again.
Then he stood up lightly, pretending to go to the bathroom. When he reached the fork in the road, he turned slightly and went upstairs lightly.
...She didn't want to eavesdrop. She was just worried that her innocent classmate would be deceived by outsiders - she heard that the circle of rich wives was very chaotic, and as a righteous high school student, she couldn't just sit back and watch a strange situation happen to Jiang Xia!
…
In the upstairs room.
Mrs. Torakura brought a pot of tea, poured three cups, and pushed two of them in front of Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru.
Then she picked up a cup herself, stroking the silver cup with her slender fingers for a while, gritted her teeth, and said the request that was difficult to say:
"It's like this. My husband is looking for a detective to find evidence of my infidelity... So I hope you can help me think of how to cover it up - even if we get divorced, I must at least get the Yoshida Dyeing and Weaving Company under his name. As detectives, you should be familiar with the methods of detectives investigating infidelity."
Toru Amuro: "..."
Jiang Xia: "..." The style of this lady is different from those ladies who were looking for cats...
Seeing that Tokura Etsuko's eyes stopped on him, Jiang Xia thought for a moment and gave a suggestion that would definitely work:
"If you cut off all contact with your lover from today and destroy any emails and letters you may have had before, Ms. Gunda won't be able to get any evidence. She has a bottom line and won't fabricate evidence just to get the commission."
However, Torakura Etsuko shook her head: "When Torakura Daisuke was drunk, I saw his diary once. He planned to have someone monitor him until he found evidence, no matter if it was one year, five years or ten years... I can't wait that long."
At this point, Etsuko Torakura was silent for a moment, finding it difficult to speak.
But remembering the high level of confidentiality of private investigators… she said with neither reason nor confidence, but firmly: "In fact, I already had a lover before I married Torakura Daisuke.
"But eight years ago, when I just graduated from university, Daisuke Torakura secretly made trouble for my father's company and pushed it to the brink of bankruptcy. Then he came to my house as my father's friend and said that he could help us through the difficult times on the condition that I marry him...
"If the company goes bankrupt, countless employees will be unemployed. I often went to my father's company to play since I was a child. Those employees were like elders and family to me... So in the end, I agreed to marry him, and then..."
Then, she was unwilling to bury her love and married a man 20 years older than her. So she began a thrilling life in which she and Torakura Daisuke were a loving couple on the surface, but still had an affair with her lover behind her back.
...Perhaps, living in a thrilling environment all the time is one of the reasons why her mystery novels are so popular.
After listening to this long speech, Toru Amuro pressed his temples and understood what Torakura Etsuko meant - she didn't want to be caught cheating, but she also didn't want to stop cheating.
“…”
When I hear this kind of commission, I want to refuse it.
But the unspoken rule in the industry is that private detectives should not be picky about commissions, especially when they have already heard the client's privacy - unless it is too illegal, such as the client asking for a forged alibi for a homicide case. Otherwise, if they refuse because it is "unethical", then they are tantamount to rejecting most of the work that could obtain useful intelligence.
——The clients also have their own small circles. Once the agency is labeled as "troublesome", this reputation will slowly spread...Amuro Detective Agency is also a registered intelligence point in the organization. If someone in the organization who is suspicious and troublesome hears rumors like "Amuro Detective Agency has a high moral character and refuses to accept missions", it always feels that it will be very troublesome.
...If it's any other commission, I can use the excuse that I'm busy and refuse it directly.
But now, Torakura Etsuko just wanted them to provide advice on how to deal with other detectives, which wouldn't take too long.
Toru Amuro sighed in his heart and soon came up with an idea.
——Accept the commission first and deal with it perfunctorily to ensure that Torakura Etsuko will not be exposed during the short time they are at Torakura's house.
After that, when the road was reopened, he left quickly on the pretext of having an urgent matter and asked Torakura Etsuko to find other detectives who were willing to take on the commission.
In addition, Amuro Toru thought about it and felt that this kind of immoral case was not in line with Jiang Xia's style, and it would also affect the reputation that Jiang Xia had worked so hard to build... It would be better for him to take it.
He has no reputation anyway - what does what Amuro Toru did have to do with him, Furuya Rei?
Moreover, because of his undercover identity, he would deliberately avoid being published in newspapers. In general, in the eyes of the general public, "Amuro Toru" is just a stranger on the street, and anything he does is very appropriate.
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru leaned back on the sofa, put his arms on the backrest, looked at Torakura Etsuko who was looking at Jiang Xia, and interrupted like an experienced veteran: "I am actually better at this kind of thing - you should have come to me directly just now."
Then he looked at Jiang Xia and started to chase him away: "Get out, it's time for the adults to talk."
Jiang Xia: "...Oh, okay."
…I always feel like the boss has awakened some strange attribute. Is it because the plan has not been carried out smoothly these days and he is too depressed?
He stood up and walked out.
As soon as Toru Amuro finished recruiting for the job, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Two seconds later, he suddenly understood and grabbed Jiang Xia who was passing by him and heading towards the door.
…He almost forgot that he was monitoring this employee who was low-level suspected to be “Uzo”.
Jiang Xia was forced to stop and turned around, looking at him in surprise.
Etsuko Torakura on the opposite side also looked puzzled: What happened?
"..." Amuro Toru calmly changed his tone, "You should stay. Think about it carefully. You will receive similar commissions sooner or later anyway, so why not learn from them in advance."
“…”
…
When Toru Amuro summarized his experience in detecting cheating.
In the hall downstairs.
After finishing his work, Toshiya Tadokoro sat on the sofa and played cards with the guests.
Shuichi Hamura looked upstairs from time to time. Finally, he stood up, pushed open the door of the corridor, and went to the underground library next to the collection room to check the documents.
Editor-in-Chief Doi didn't know what he had eaten, but he suddenly had a stomachache and stayed in the toilet for a while.
——Except for Suzuki Ayako who had been sitting on the sofa, the group of people all dispersed and left for a while.
