"So this is ah……"

Yuanzi chuckled and nodded, her face full of joy.

I was so happy to be praised by my seniors for my beauty!

Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time in her memory that someone of the opposite sex has seriously praised her for her good looks, right?

"By the way, Senior, do you have time this weekend?"

Fujino thought about Suzuki Sonoko's question for a moment and asked in confusion: "Sonoko-san, what's the matter with you?"

Yuanzi's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "It's like this, I plan to invite Xiaolan to our mountain villa to play this weekend... If you have time, can you come with me?"

"villa?"

Fujino was stunned when he heard this, "If it won't cause trouble to you, Sonoko, then of course there's no problem."

"In that case, it's a deal!"

When Yuanzi heard this, a smile broke out on her face.

"Remember to call me on the weekend morning... I'm afraid I won't be able to get up and waste time."

"understood!"

This weekend, she must get Fujino!

Chapter 37: Shibasaki Mieko's Request

After school, at Fujino's house.

[Detective Occupational Mission: Bandage Monster Incident

Mission objective: Solve or prevent the murder

Mission-limited countdown: Within 24 hours after the death of the victim

Mission Reward: 500,000 yen bounty, 50 detective reputation points]

"A murder case involving a bandaged man?"

Fujino stood in front of the balcony, looking at the new system tasks that appeared on the system interface, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his deep eyes.

If Fujino remembers correctly, this case should be related to Suzuki Ayako.

Ayako Suzuki founded a film club when she was in college.

After all the members of the club graduated, the members of the film club agreed to get together again every two years.

This time, the gathering was held at the Suzuki family's forest villa.

As for why the murder occurred...

It was all because of the popular writer Ikeda Chikako who was also in the club at the time.

Tomokako Ikeda plagiarized the idea of a girl named Dunzi, and won the Best Newcomer Award of the year for "Blue Kingdom" written based on the plagiarized idea.

Unlike Ikeda Chikako who became a popular female writer in the future, Dunzi, whose ideas were plagiarized, hanged herself in depression because she had no way to appeal.

In order to avenge Dunzi, Takahashi Ryoichi, who had always been secretly in love with her, brutally dismembered Ikeda Chikako at a party a few days later at the Suzuki family's villa in the woods...

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted Fujino's thoughts.

"Is it another client?"

Fujino was stunned when he heard the voice.

There are too many commissions for the weekend.

There are more commissions than what we can accept on normal working days...

Gathering his thoughts, Fujino slowly stood up.

He walked past the 100-square-meter bedroom, reached the door, and pushed it open.

What caught my eye was a girl with a tuft of red hair in front of her bangs.

Fujino looked at the girl in front of him and was stunned.

"Excuse me, are you Detective Fujino?"

The girl spoke first.

Fujino gave a professional fake smile out of politeness and asked, "It's me. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, Detective Fujino. I was introduced here by an acquaintance..."

The girl greeted him politely and told him how she knew about this place. Then, she asked stiffly, "I wonder if Detective Fujino would accept commissions to find out who the girl your boyfriend likes is?"

"If it's a request like this..."

Fujino was about to speak but stopped himself, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Being a detective does not rely on fighting and killing, but on the human relationships.

Every client has his or her own circle. If you can deal with the client, then everyone in that circle will be potential customers.

The reason why the girl found Fujino was most likely not because of his fame, but because she heard about him from friends in the circle.

To be honest, Fujino really didn't want to take on this kind of commission that stank of sour love.

But after all, he was introduced by an acquaintance, and he is very polite, so let's get to know him first.

After all, people cannot be judged by their appearance.

What if this girl is a rich woman?

After entering the house, the girl first took off the baseball cap on her head, revealing a tuft of non-mainstream red hair in front of her head, and then stated her purpose.

The girl's name is Shibazaki Mieko, she is only two years older than Fujino. She joined the band after graduating from high school and is currently a guitarist in a popular rock band...

As a guitarist, she has always had a crush on the lead singer of her rock band: Tatsuya Kimura.

Just a while ago, she couldn't hold back her restless heart anymore and finally confessed her feelings to Tatsuya Kimura.

But the result was obvious, it was rejected outright.

When rejecting, the guy also said that he already had a girl he liked and he would wait until that girl came back.

Heartbroken Mieko wondered what made her inferior to that girl.

That's why he specifically found Fujino and asked him to find out who Tatsuya Kimura likes.

"So, Ms. Shibazaki Mieko wants me to find out who the girl that Kimura Tatsuya likes is?"

"Yes."

Shibazaki Mieko nodded as she listened to Fujino's explanation. "If possible, it would be best to ask Detective Fujino to conduct a secret investigation without being discovered."

"I remember that Kimura Tatsuya seemed to be a very popular idol, right?"

"To investigate an idol of this level, the commission fee is much higher than usual, about 500,000 yen."

"I'll pay 500,000 yen."

When she heard Fujino offer a price of 500,000 yen, Shibazaki Mieko agreed without any hesitation.

"That's the best thing..."

Fujino was very satisfied with Mieko's straightforwardness.

Although she is not a rich woman, this girl is also a high-quality customer.

Fujino nodded and poured her a cup of black tea: "I accept your commission. I promise to investigate secretly and not be discovered by anyone."

"I wonder when I will give you the commission money?" Meizi took the black tea and asked, "If possible, I can pay the full commission money now."

"No rush, no rush."

"As for the commission, usually a tenth of the deposit is paid when the commission is placed, and the remaining commission is paid after the commission is completed."

Fujino chuckled and found Mieko more and more pleasing to the eye.

"So that's it."

Mieko nodded and took out her credit card: "Can I pay the deposit by credit card?"

Fujino: “…………”

This seems to be the second time, right?

Don't people carry cash anymore?

"Ahem."

Fujino coughed lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash. We can settle the bill together when the time comes. I believe Miss Mieko is a person of her word."

"Oh."

Mieko nodded, "In that case, thank you for your trust."

Fujino watched her take back the bank card and sighed.

Then he said to Mieko, "But there is one thing I still need to remind Miss Mieko in advance."

"what's up?"

"Based on my extensive experience in investigations, love investigations like this usually don't end well."

In Mieko's surprised eyes, Fujino continued to speak seriously: "After knowing who he likes, Miss Mieko, are you sure you can accept the reality?"

Hearing this, Shibazaki Mieko couldn't help but be dazed.

yes…………

She hadn't thought about what to do after finding out who Tatsuya Kimura liked.

Maybe she'll try to change...

But what if that person is someone she cannot replace?

As she thought about it, she clenched her jeans that covered her thighs with both hands, and the expression on her face gradually became depressed, and finally turned into a little lonely.

"Thank you Detective Fujino for the reminder."

After thanking Fujino, she made up her mind: "As long as I can find out who Tatsuya likes... I will be satisfied."

"In that case, I will accept this commission."

Chapter 38: Rice Flower Suicide Squad

“These things all came together.”

Fujino stood on the balcony, watching Shibazaki Mieko's departing back, and couldn't help but sigh.

If he remembered correctly, Mieko Shibazaki should be the person involved in another karaoke murder case.

The victim was Tatsuya Kimura, whom Mieko had commissioned to investigate.

However, the murderer was not Mieko, but Mari Terahara, the band's manager.

The person that Tatsuya Kimura told Mieko that he liked was actually Mari Terahara.

But due to some misunderstandings, the two were slow to reveal their feelings.
