Chapter 190 190. Five hundred thousand yen commission

Rina Yonoki came to the office very early in the morning, waiting for the computer she ordered to be delivered to her door. Then she had an unexpectedly fulfilling day.

In the morning, I installed the computer and installed the commonly used software. Before I could even start a game, I received a client.

She is in her twenties and thirties, with neatly combed hair, plain clothes, and typical attire that makes her look like a housewife.

There was some hesitation in knocking on the door, but after sitting down, he firmly took out a bulging envelope from his bag, "Detective Yono, here is five hundred thousand yen. I want to entrust you to find someone."

Upon hearing this amount, Yonoki Rina, who was sitting opposite the client, straightened her back subconsciously and took the commission more seriously.

In addition to the high commission fee, other details observed also made Yonoki Rina interested in this commission. She felt that there should be a very complicated story behind it.

She also found the client of the firm. This lady was completely different from the previous diplomat's wife. She behaved with the arrogance of a superior person. She looked much simpler.

Although the bag in my hand is also a luxury brand, in this country where luxury goods are common and many working-class people take out loans to buy luxury goods from the beginning of their work, such an ordinary luxury backpack with a classic style means nothing at all.

Instead, this lady behaved somewhat unconfidently when she entered the house. Her neatly trimmed hands showed that she needed to do housework frequently. It shows that even if she has a good family background, her family status will not allow her to spend half a million yuan easily.

Therefore, the act of taking out the five hundred thousand yen as soon as he sat down was not at all the arrogance of a rich man, but more like an act of worrying that he would regret it.

In addition, the look on the client's face is also quite strange. If you are looking for someone to entrust and pay such a large amount of money, generally speaking, it is either a relatively urgent matter, or it is someone who has been looking for a long time but is very important. Then the client will naturally look a little anxious and expect to find someone.

But this client gained some inner satisfaction after taking out the commission money and speaking the opening remarks. She gradually got rid of the hesitation and uneasiness she felt when she entered the door, and was replaced by an obvious sense of relief.

Yonoki Rina pushed the envelope containing the commission money a little closer to the client. "You'd better tell me the content of the entrustment first. The fees can be discussed later. I'm really worried that you will betray your trust."

"You are the best female detective in Tokyo. I think as long as you are willing, there will be no one more suitable for this commission than you."

At this time, Sakurai Mei came over with freshly brewed tea. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this an incident related to women? Is it domestic violence?"

"Maybe, I don't know what the truth is, and the part I know is actually quite difficult to summarize. You'd better listen to me and say it from the beginning." Speaking of this, the client's hand rubbed uneasily. Clicking the cup handle a few times, "I'm sorry I don't have an appointment. The story is not long. I will try not to waste your time?"

Yonoki Rina smiled reassuringly at her, "Well, it's okay, you said, we don't have any plans today."

The red-haired woman's smile was bright, vivid, and highly contagious. The client opposite also curled her lips in line with her expression. She relaxed a little, stopped moving her hands, and began her story.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Maoma Yanghu. The person I'm looking for is a former colleague of mine. Her name at that time was Ruri Kusama, but that should be her pseudonym."

While making a brief introduction, Maoma Yanghu took out another photo from her bag. It was a photo of her younger self and another girl in front of Disneyland. "Liuli and I met five years ago. When she first came to the company, she was taciturn and had no communication with her colleagues at all. However, we are a small company. The president and employees are basically young people, and everyone has good relationships. Very good. Later, Liuli gradually became familiar with us."

Probably because he hadn't told anyone about these things for a long time, Maoma Yanghu didn't go straight to the topic, but recalled the details from quite a long time ago.

"We also roughly know that she ran away from home and came to Tokyo, and her accent sounds like she is from Osaka. But she didn't take the initiative to mention the specific situation in her family, and we didn't know anything about it. It's not something that is unspeakable. It is not easy for a young girl to live so far from home alone. Before coming to our company, she had had many odd jobs, so she had just arrived at the company. She was withdrawn and restless at that time, which didn't seem very special at that time. Later, after getting to know her, she was no different from other people of her age. We would hang out and go shopping together. This photo is from our trip to Disneyland four years ago. Taken while playing.”

"But not long after she went to Disneyland, about a month ago, she said that her driver's license had expired and needed to be replaced, because she needed to return to her hometown to apply for a driver's license replacement. She was very worried and hoped that I could accompany her. Because she knew about it before. She ran away from home, so I agreed to accompany her to Hyogo Prefecture without much thought."

Hearing this, Rina Yonoki and Mei Sakurai became a little more nervous. Because of the domestic violence mentioned before, they already had an ominous premonition. They thought this was where the incident started.

The subsequent development was not too beyond their imagination. In Hyogo Prefecture, several people who claimed to be Kusama Ruri's family took her away.

"There was a young girl in that group. She said her name was Hua. Sorry, I can't remember her name. In short, she said she was Liuli's sister. They did look alike. And Liuli saw them I was very scared, but when they said they were my family, I didn’t deny it. They just said, ‘Thank you for accompanying me here. You can go back quickly and don’t worry about things here anymore.’”

Even though a long time has passed, Maoma Yanghu still has obvious stumbling when talking about the details of this incident.

Obviously, even four years later, those things still brought a huge sense of oppression to her. When she continued to talk about her actions at that time, the detectives and detective assistants who listened to her story were not surprised.

"Those people were in front of me...I was too scared. I thought...they and Luli are family members, so they shouldn't really do anything to her."

At this point, the client rubbed the cup, and those nervous little movements began to appear again, completely displaying her mental activities in front of the two delicate ladies in front of her.

"About a month later, I saw Luli again in Tokyo, and that was the last time. She seemed a little thinner and not in good spirits. She was with those guys who claimed to be her family members. They were cleaning up Luli's house. . Liuli secretly thrust a Hermès gold watch into my hand and said, 'Hide it, they will take away all the valuable things.'"

"Perhaps because I'm in a more familiar place, or maybe because this month has been too difficult for me. I don't know where the courage came from. I said to Luli, I'm going to call the police now. This is Tokyo. I thought Even if her family is really a gangster, it's just a small place like Hyogo. Calling the police in Tokyo would be useful, but Liuli was so scared when she heard it. I can't forget the look in her eyes. There must be fear or despair, but maybe there is something else. Very complex and intense emotions are in her eyes, but she seems to be unable to express any expression on her face. Some expressions are impossible to express. Her expression was dull, and then she gave me a very unpleasant smile and told me not to worry, it was just that her family wanted her to go home and there was nothing more I needed to do. "

At this point, the client seemed to find it difficult to face the two pairs of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. She lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I backed down again. Later, I sold the gold watch for 500,000 yen." ”

***
This case is an adaptation of the Amagasaki Manipulation Murder Case in Japan. There are almost no major changes except for the client. It is normal to have a sense of immediacy. After struggling for a while, I considered that I would not be able to finish writing about the case quickly, so it would be better to just report the name of the original case. If you are interested in the case, you can read it.

I didn’t update on Saturday because I was a little stuck. I would have found this chapter boring to write, but it seemed like I had to write it this way. The main reason was that I wasn’t capable enough and couldn’t write it vividly.

Anyway, I’m just going to update this now. I really want to write about the Miyano sisters’ party and the Amagasaki case, so I’ll work hard to update it.

But, as expected, you still treat me as fate. 17:01 If there is no day, there is no day.

Also, I have added Xiao Ke’s reasoning sketch in the last chapter in the comment area. If you are interested, you can take a look.
