Chapter 184
"Hey, the check is so light, it doesn't feel real," Weisu flicked the paper, "Is this the money for me to change hands twice..."
Unlike Weisu, who has no sense of reality, the income of 2000 million US dollars is enough for Fitzgerald to become a flawless statuette in Ruoke's heart. At the moment when he got the final payment, Ruke has almost felt the slight California sea breeze and The extremely cold air from the Antarctic was brushing his cheeks...
[kp: It's hot and cold, it's not An Mixiu, beware of catching a cold. ]
[Liu Ke: You don’t understand kp, this is 2000 million US dollars, even if it hasn’t become the number in my account, it’s exciting enough just looking at it! ]
[Ru Ke: To put it succinctly and clearly, this may be money that I will never get in my life, and it is in my hands now!It's in my hand! ]
[kp: ... If you don't cash out the loot on hand, you'll have—]
[Ru Ke: I'm so excited that I'm so excited! ! ! ]
[kp: ... Please don't speak in such a disgusting vague tone, I'm off. ]
"Francis Dana is really generous," Rick took out the waterproof hard plastic bag containing Atsushi Nakajima's deed, and carefully put the check into it, "But it really doesn't matter, even though I also think that my work is done very well, But the amount agreed before was a single digit less than this. You don’t get paid for nothing. I guess a smart Francis Dana would not give us so much money for this level of achievement. To be honest, I was a little anxious. "
Atsushi Nakajima: If you didn't mention it after putting away the money, I would really believe it.
"As expected of a detective," Fitzgerald applauded. "The original reward for entrusting you is 100 million. It is not impossible to give another 100 million as a reward. The rest is your second commission. Get the first one, that's the point."
"I don't remember that we have accepted the second commission, so let's just treat it as the reward for the first commission, so I will feel more at ease when I put it away," Liu Ke thought for a while, "If you don't mind, you can tell me the first commission now. Is it the content of the second entrustment?"
Atsushi Nakajima: It means "whether you finish it or not, you don't plan to pay back this reward", right?
kp: hit all!
Fitzgerald didn't think much about it, and was straightforward as always: "The second commission requires you to find a special ability user for me. Originally, I planned to offer a joint reward of 70 billion with two other interested people. I didn’t expect that the investigator’s ability was beyond my imagination, and it directly saved me a lot of expenses. After all, in the black market, you have to pay a 20.00% deposit, and if you fail, you will not be able to get it back, and there is a risk of meaningless time loss. As a result, you've saved me quite a fortune."
Weisu was shocked: "70 billion! Doesn't it cost 14 billion to pay the deposit!"
Liu Ke interrupted suddenly: "Francistan gave up the reward, the other two didn't give up, right?"
"That's right, I've seen them offer a reward of 50 billion on the black market, and this is the one I'm looking for." Fitzgerald pointed his fingertips at Atsushi Nakajima who was full of bewilderment. A boy with a white tiger!"
Liuk regretted: "Sure enough, I knew that when Ellis asked Brother Dun for help, I should have asked him to see if there was any reward on the black market, 50 billion!"
Atsushi Nakajima didn't bother to be shocked by the bounty offered to him, and dared not say anything to Ruoke: "Mr. Ruke, are you actually planning to exchange me for a bounty?!"
This person clearly said that I belonged to him, but can I still change hands——
"Ruke probably wants to dance with a fairy." Weisu patted the petrified Nakajima Atsushi on the shoulder and comforted him.
Atsushi Nakajima was not comforted at all, and said, "That's right, one day I'm valuable, so Mr. Rick won't let me go..."
"You reminded me, Brother Dun," Rick snapped his fingers, and excitedly communicated with Fitzgerald, "As you can see, Brother Dun is working with me now, I don't know what price you need It is common sense that the starting price of a person with supernatural powers will not be less than [-] yuan, but Brother Dun is an employee I cherish, so I need to pay more."
[Weisu: Wow, this strong smell of scum rushed to me. ]
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
"You," Fitzgerald was speechless for a moment, then looked at Atsushi Nakajima, "Can Mr. Ruke really represent you?"
Atsushi Nakajima nodded bitterly: "... yes."
It was written clearly in the deed of sale that if he denied it, he would be dragged out to sell his organs.
Atsushi Nakajima: Even if you are mentally prepared, but... the second contract is too black-hearted! ! !
The first one used as a cover was just a normal contract, with a big hole in it, but the second one was full of holes, not even a place to stay!
Even now, Atsushi Nakajima's heart hurts when he thinks about it.
Fitzgerald shook his glass in embarrassment: "The original plan was to offer rewards to people and tigers, and make the best use of everything after getting it... Well, it is not impossible to use formal employment channels now, and money-related issues are for me. It’s okay, but it’s a little troublesome…”
"What exactly do you want Brother Dun to do?" Ruke blinked, "He has no academic qualifications and no special skills. He has nothing but turning into a white tiger."
Atsushi Nakajima: It's true, but it hurts when you say it out of your mouth...
"Perform a ceremony," Fitzgerald didn't hide anything, "I'm looking for something, and the news says it's in Yokohama, but a specific ceremony is required to find that thing, and the ceremony requires the cooperation of humans and tigers. Ability will lead me to that."
"Can you tell me what you are looking for? We have been in Yokohama for a while, maybe there will be clues."
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
Fitzgerald: "Maybe you are well-informed. You have heard an urban legend in Yokohama. There is a rumor about a 'book'. It is said that there is a book in Yokohama. Everything written on it will become a reality."
Liu Ke was stunned: "Is it a universal wishing machine? A local person mentioned it to me, and I thought it was just an urban legend, didn't it?"
"It is indeed an unbelievable legend, but it has been accurate to the actual operation method here, and it is worth trying. Moreover," Fitzgerald glanced in Rang's direction, "there are also some legends similar to Mr. Rang. I have actually seen that miracle, so I will spend money on it.”
——People only desire what they have seen.
"Well, that's really interesting, but urban legends are nothing more than mirror-like things. Wishing machines are always synonyms for 'fraud'. Even if there are real stories, there is a possibility of forgery," Liu Ke was puzzled. "Once you live a rich and comfortable life, and you have a group of people with supernatural powers to escort you, it is not impossible to spend a lot of money to pay IQ taxes. Do you have any wishes that must be pinned on the illusory and need to be realized?"
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
For the first time, Fitzgerald didn't answer directly: "No one likes to open their wounds again. You might as well guess."
"Humans are very simple animals. What they pursue for wishing machines are the four major items of 'immortality', 'return to youth', 'wealth,' and 'resurrection'."
"If you're still young among the rich, and you've taken good care of yourself, and you don't lack life expectancy, health, youth, and money, then there's only one answer," Rick said, looking at Fitzgerald's expressionless face. Tan said, "The most common possibility is that once an important family member dies, and once you have to resurrect the family, but once you are a self-made, persevering person, generally speaking, you will not be overwhelmed by this, nor will you be overwhelmed by the past." If you stumble, it should be..."
Rick's eyes were bright, and he put forward his answer intently: "The most important person to Dana is mentally broken because of the death of your common family member, so Dana is looking for a miracle of bringing the dead back to life, and wants to restore everything to its original state. I guessed it right. ?"
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
"..." Fitzgerald withdrew his redundant expression, "If Alice hadn't been following you all the time, I know you haven't checked my family, otherwise I would sue you for violating privacy right now Court."
Liu Ke sneered: "Let me go, American lawyers are better at robbing than bank robbers, I don't want to go to prison to pick up soap."
"But how do you know it's our 'common family' who died?"
"The fact is clear at a glance, if it is not your 'common family', the other party will not be able to be cared for by you after a mental breakdown, and you will not let you do your best to restore it," Rick raised his eyebrows and said, "It's Dana. kid, right?"
"Really," the blond man smiled brightly, "I heard that 'excellent detectives can read minds', isn't that a lie?"
Fitzgerald's wife suffered from a severe mental disorder due to the accidental death of their daughter. Her cognition was stuck at the moment when her daughter went abroad to study, she refused to acknowledge the fact of her daughter's death, and did not care about everything other than her daughter, including her husband's Fitzgerald, she just kept cycling through her memories, paralyzing herself with the past.
Fitzgerald, who loves his wife deeply, will do his best to revive his wife, as long as there is an opportunity within his reach, no matter how low the possibility is.
Wei Su held his face together: "Mr. Fitzgerald really loves his wife."
"That's right," Fitzgerald graciously accepted Rick's praise, "although I failed to find a way to revive before, and my assets have quadrupled by accident, but this time I have a hunch, Just like the premonition of a hundred-fold profit every time I come back—'This time I will definitely triumphantly'!"
[Weisu: Is this person showing off that he can also get a pile of gold by throwing empty space? ]
[kp: Please don't look at people with lemon eyes. ]
"Is painting cakes a must-have skill for every capitalist..." Ruoke muttered and put on a cheerful expression, "Oh, I'm getting excited too, if that's the case, how much money does Francis Dana want to spend to hire Don? Bro?"
Fitzgerald raised his glass with a smile: "What about the wish letter, I just want my daughter to be resurrected, and I don't care if I give you the rest."
"You really know how to joke." Ruker waved his hand, "It's a lie to say that I'm not interested in that book, but trying to trick me into working for you with a blank check...it's really quite a capitalist's approach."
"No, it's just a small hope." Fitzgerald didn't care. "If I refuse, I can also give you a daily salary of 30... Well, what do you think of it as a salary for brother Dun to cooperate with the ceremony?"
Having deeply understood that there is no free tea and rice in this world, Atsushi Nakajima asked vigilantly, "Is there no sequelae? What kind of ceremony?"
"Deal, bring the contract." Liuke was fascinated by the amount gorgeously.
Atsushi Nakajima: "Mr. Rick!"
"Shh, Brother Dun," Rick pressed against Nakajima's lips, "Francis Dana has said all that can be said, and the rest is unspeakable, we still have to see this wink, Brother Dun .”
"Then my safety—"
"Doesn't that kind of trivial matter feel insignificant compared to a daily salary of 30?"
"No! Is my safety so worthless!"
"I believe in you, Brother Dun."
"I don't believe in myself!"
After Rick signed the contract, Atsushi Nakajima was summoned by Fitzgerald to carry out the ceremony. Each time he had to pay Atsushi Nakajima the corresponding physical expenses, 30 US dollars a day, and if it was less than a day, it would be settled at the cost of one day.
Atsushi Nakajima got his own credit card, and Fitzgerald looked at him and gave him a free one, with five thousand dollars in it.
In the next second, it was replaced by Liu Ke with a credit card with a balance of only 320 yen.
Atsushi Nakajima held the credit card given to him by Rick, tears welling up in his eyes: "One fifty percent of what was agreed..."
Liu Ke said grandly: "The credit card I gave you is more secure, and the money in it has never been stolen."
"How many shabby credit card thieves would steal this kind of money," Jean shook his head repeatedly. "It's better to look under the drink vending machine to see if there are hundred yuan coins."
Wei Su echoed: "320 yen, a bottle of Coke is also 500 yen."
Alice gave Atsushi Nakajima a plate of boiled broccoli: "Thank you for your hard work."
Atsushi Nakajima: "..."
"Don't spoil my reputation," Rick patted his chest, "What you are facing is the pinnacle of future consulting detectives."
Jean: "Do you still have a reputation?"
"You have no right to say that about me."
Rick felt that his personal reputation might not be as good as others, but it was more than enough compared to Rang.
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
"By the way, Mr. Ruoke." The golden Fitzgerald patted Ruoke's shoulder forcefully, "When my subordinate went upstairs, I met your male companion and brought him here for you. Don't be shy. I can even accept Rang Jun, why do you think I can't accept your twin male companion?"
After finishing speaking, Fitzgerald thoughtfully made room for Rick with his wine glass.
"Twin male companion?"
Liu Ke's scalp tingled as he watched two identical faces appear at the door.
Osamu Dazai: "Yo, dear~"
Number two: "I'm coming to the party~"
The investigators and members of the group looked at him with contempt, and now he could empathize with Rick.
Rick desperately tried to save his reputation: "I didn't invite them!"
No. [-] showed a melancholy smile: "Ruk, you really are, didn't you tell Atsu-kun in front of Odasaku and Atsu-kun this morning that you wanted to bring us to the party."
[kp: Dark cast? ? ]
Liu Ke's face changed: Oops, it seems that he really said it to No. [-]!But it's not for you to come here in this situation and in this capacity!And Osamu Dazai!Why don't you work hard at the detective agency and skip shifts? !
[kp: let real 901D100=66 success]
"So it's true," Jean raised the champagne and clinked glasses with the lemonade in Ruoke's hand, "I didn't expect you to have twins without saying a word. You are a scammer. In this respect, I am willing to bow down for the time being."
Rick: Please don't give up!The disdainful gaze behind me almost made a sound!
Osamu Dazai leaned over like a butterfly: "Surprised or surprised~"
Number two: "This is the result of you stripping us naked and stuffing us in the cupboard, dear Rick~"
The volume is neither too high nor too low, just enough for those present to hear clearly.
[Visu: I have begun to sympathize with him. ]
Fitzgerald kept his word, he didn't talk about other people's private life, but the rest of the group, especially that Margaret, hated Rick second only to Jean.
Rick: My reputation...is hopeless...
[kp: If there is no reputation, it will be gone. Another way of thinking, you can compete with Rang to see who has the worst reputation. ]
[Ru Ke: I thank you. ]

The author has something to say:
Missed 7777!
By the way, because Anna was not present, Fitzgerald directly used the electronic bank to transfer the money to her. In fact, he knew the bank card numbers of all the investigators. Online transfer is the most convenient, but he felt that it would be better to use a check, so he decided to use it. Check out.
Ellis also received money, but was bookmarked by Ellis.
