white night syndrome

Chapter 76
"I don't quite remember what the school rule they were arguing about, and I can't remember the name of the dean, too. I'm very sorry."

The expression on Yukiyo's face was a little awkward, as if he felt guilty and guilty for not remembering his master's past clearly.

But having said that, the relationship between these two people, from the very beginning to the current servant and master, feels a bit strange no matter how you think about it, but I can't tell why it is so strange.

"That's all the information I can provide. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If not, please keep your mouth shut."

Li Ming's face was a bit ugly, he spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression.

"Very well, then I will assume that you have no problem. If there is any progress in the case I entrusted, please notify me immediately. I will not set a time limit for the investigation. In short, the sooner the better."

Yukishiro leaned forward, his slightly protruding body came close to Li Ming's eyes, with a playful expression, his white fingers slid across the desk surface, leaving a finger mark.

"The sooner I get the truth, the more I will pay. Do you understand? Of course, I am not urging you to complete the progress. The speed of your investigation is entirely up to you, but if it exceeds a time limit in my heart , then the deposit I just gave you will be greatly reduced, and you may even be asked to pay compensation."

Then, what Ms. Yukishiro means is that the deposit she just paid, at least before the investigation is completed, has not completely become Li Ming's property.

"Okay, I understand." Li Ming pursed his lips and nodded silently.

"Very good, very good, I just like a smart kid like you." Yukiyo laughed wickedly, and casually lifted his hair. At this time, he no longer looked like a maid, but more like a noble young lady , it always gives Li Ming a sense of instant vision of Kurosawa dense flowers, and even the voice has some changes.

Li Ming stood up and bowed slightly towards Miss Yukiyo.

In fact, to be precise, this was the first time he saluted the client. 50 yen was really not a small amount, not to mention that it was still a deposit, even though the deposit was not currently his property.

But treat those who give great help to survive. This is the rule of every industry, just like the phrase "customer is God" in the catering industry or service industry.

"I will give you feedback on the progress of the case at any time in the future. You can rest assured that although I am not a high-level private investigator, I will definitely do my best to treat your commission, Ms. Yukiyo."

"That's the best." Yukiyo raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with contempt, "I hope I won't pay for my choice, Mr. Li Ming."

After watching Yukiyo leave the office, Li Ming flipped the office's door plate to read "Closed Business する", and closed the door.

Although this entrustment was a clue given by the Baimeng incident, no matter how low the entrustment fee she paid, she had to accept it according to the instructions, but there was something strange about this case that Li Ming couldn't describe.

After returning to his seat, Li Ming, whose body was limp, looked at the thick stack of brand-new Japanese yen bills that he had sorted out by himself, with a complicated expression on his face, even a little pale.

In this kind of case where the rich were framed by others, nine times out of ten the murderer came for the money, but the question is why did the murderer want to kill all the rich family members so cruelly?
If it was really framed by the murderer, then it was obvious that Ms. Yukiyo was about to become the murderer's next target.

but.

Li Ming thought of another possibility——

Regarding the relationship between Ms. Yukiyo and Mr. Shirai Kuranosuke, if you can spend 50 yen to investigate the case, then the relationship between the two of them is extraordinary. In addition, Yukishiro’s original words "Before, Mr. Shirai said he wanted to marry me." .

Of course, he didn't mean to belittle women, but Miss Yukiyo's behavior and character are not incapable of doing such a thing.

For example, if he wants to usurp the throne, he will wipe out all the family members of Shirai Kuranosuke in a real sense, so as to achieve his goal.

Anyway, it's still pretty weird.

But after all, he had accepted her commission, so out of responsibility and courtesy, he had to investigate.

In addition, did Ms. Yukiyo say that the place related to the case is in Ikebukuro?

This is the place with the most people from his hometown. Although Li Ming has few friends, there are still a few who live in Ikebukuro. Let's get in touch after all the cases are sorted out.

Thinking of this, Li Ming was planning to record his guess just now in the notebook at hand, when the door of the office was pushed open, and what appeared in front of him was a tall and familiar figure.

　Tired, I don't know why I feel so tired.
