"exist."
The corner of Jason's mouth curled up, and he gave the answer.
For those who 'deliver goods to their door', even if the other party's motives are not pure, Jason will always show tolerance.
[Kayafa Seal] in the room has not been lifted.
Jason just stood up and walked to the door.
When the door was opened, a man appeared in front of Jason.
Compared with the slightly older voice just now, the other party's face is well trimmed. Although the clothes look simple, if you look closely, the material is not ordinary.
At least, Jason could tell that the button was made of sterling silver.
Leather shoes should be the kind of handmade.
rich people.
This was Jason's first impression of the other party.
Then, there is exhaustion.
Even after careful care, the other party's dark circles and tired expression can't be hidden no matter what.
Especially when the other party looked at Jason, his eyes were bloodshot.
Obviously, the other party hasn't had a good rest for a long time.
This makes the opponent's state very bad.
Even, the spirit appeared in a trance.
So much so that the other party knocked on the door first, but when Jason opened the door, the other party was still taken aback.
The opponent took a step back first.
Then, he quickly realized that it was rude to do so.
"Feel sorry."
The middle-aged man bowed apologetically.
Jason frowned.
Not because of the other party's faux pas.
Instead, I feel that the opponent should not be a 'chess piece' or something like that.
First of all, the clothes of the other party indicate that the other party should have a fairly good income and a considerable family background.
Second, the other party's way of expressing apology in a calm manner when they make a mistake is not a temperament that can be formed in a short period of time.
Third, the opponent has not undergone any training and should maintain some fitness and running habits, but he has absolutely never been exposed to combat training or firearms.
Such a person should obviously be born in the upper class and inherit the wealth of his parents. He doesn't need to run around for a living, and he doesn't have too much ambition.
In the same way, such a person will not become someone else's 'pawn'.
Of course, there are no absolutes.
Everyone has something to care about.
That is his weakness.
Starting from weakness, the impossible becomes possible.
As for having no weaknesses
impossible.
That can only mean that you haven't found it.
Therefore, after making a preliminary judgment, Jason remained vigilant.
After all, it is possible for professional actors to confuse real ones with fake ones.
And with the influence of the Huakai family, it is not difficult to find a professional actor within a few hours.
Therefore, Jason did not invite the other party into the room, but just stood at the door and looked at the other party.
"Hi, is this Your Excellency Jason?"
The other party didn't feel any annoyance, but after looking at Jason for a while, he confirmed again.
"Um."
Jason nodded.
Then, Jason keenly noticed that after he admitted his identity, the other party was obviously relieved.
It was such a relief.
After that, the other party said very simply.
"That's great."
"I've been here several times, but every time you're not here."
"Mr. Rock said that you must have received some big task, and asked me to wait patiently, but something like that happened at home, I really can't wait any longer..."
The middle-aged man said happily.
There is some nagging feeling.
However, Jason could feel that the other party was venting.
Vent your inner fears.
"You know Boss Rock?"
Jason has a pretty good impression of the boss of the opposite 'Rock Electric'.
Passionate and sticks to his bottom line.
The new TV in his room is proof of that.
There is also the incident of 'Cursed Videotape Killing', which is also proof.
It is obvious that he can hang up high that it has nothing to do with him, but the other party launched an investigation.
"Yes, I used to be a business partner with Mr. Rock. This time something happened at home. It was Mr. Rock who informed me of your existence, Mr. Jason... Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my lord Uesugi."
With that said, the middle-aged man bowed again and took out his business card.
Jason took the card.
Uesugi Winery.
winery
brewing
Jason thought, just turned sideways.
"excuse me."
The middle-aged man said very politely, and then walked into the room.
However, there were no slippers in the empty corridor, which stunned the middle-aged man.
"I don't have spare slippers here, please feel free."
Jason said so.
The middle-aged man nodded, walked through the corridor, and sat on the sofa with a little restraint.
"what do you need?"
"Coffee? Water? Juice?"
Jason asked as he walked towards the window.
"Just plain coffee."
"Thanks."
The middle-aged man named Uesugi looked around curiously as he spoke.
Where Jason lived was simply too simple.
No refrigerator, coffee maker, or water dispenser.
How do you prepare coffee here
Just as Uesugi was thinking, Jason opened the window and shouted down—
"Hui Lijing, bring me a cup of coffee and a glass of water."
The voice is loud.
And with a fairly powerful sense of penetration.
Hui Lijing, who was trying to figure out the sword skill 'Push', could hear it clearly.
The tall female detective frowned.
No one likes to be interrupted while concentrating.
Hui Lijing is no exception.
But at the same time, Hui Lijing believed that Jason was not someone who would disturb her for no reason.
Coffee is the best proof!
Jason doesn't drink coffee.
Hui Lijing is quite clear about this.
So it could only be that there were guests.
And what kind of guests will come to the firm of 'Mask X Machete X Meat'
They are all related to the 'mysterious side' and are inextricably linked to the 'inner world'!
Therefore, Hui Lijing immediately sheathed the dagger in her hand, put it in her boots, and then responded with a little excitement.
"Understood, come right away!"
For female detectives who have already been exposed to the 'mysterious side' and 'inside world', and have begun to come into contact with 'mysterious knowledge', at this time, their 'interest' in the 'mysterious side' 'inside world' has officially reached a peak level.
It's like an adolescent boy has mastered a certain skill, and he can't wait to show it in front of his beloved girl every day.
Lick the dog
No!
It's not dog licking.
To be precise, it is a peacock with its tail open.
Under the stimulation of hormones, people, things, and things you like will be put on filters, and everything will become so beautiful.
And when the hormones fade
Good still.
There are both responsibilities and habits.
They stand there firmly, allowing you to experience life like never before.
At this moment, Hui Lijing seems to be feeling the initial beauty, which is also the most fascinating part.
As for after
Right now, she hasn't thought about it that much.
After all, you can't expect a detective with dreams of being a barista to think that much after a career in the barracks and a few stints in the field, can you
Hui Lijing quickly appeared in the office on the second floor with coffee, water, and some biscuits and dried fruit.
After seeing Uesugi, Hui Lijing's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, there are guests!
Another mysterious event
With speculation in her heart, the female detective brought the coffee to Uesugi and the water to Jason.
"Thanks."
Uesugi thanked the female detective very politely, and at the same time, quietly looked at the female detective.
so tall!
Are all exorcists this tall
Uesugi looked at Hui Lijing standing side by side with Jason, and couldn't help thinking.
"This is my assistant."
Jason introduced Hui Lijing's identity.
This is the identity that the two reconfirmed after reaching the second step of cooperation.
With Jason's 'fame', the original setting was no longer appropriate.
In this regard, Hui Lijing has no objection.
She is a rookie, a rookie.
It's just right to be Jason's assistant.
"Hello, Miss Hui Lijing."
"My poor Uesugi."
There is no need for Jason to introduce the name, the voice just now let Uesugi know the name of the female detective.
The female detective who took the business card said almost subconsciously when she saw the words on it.
"Are you the Uesugi whom Boss Rock said?"
"If no one has been so unlucky lately...it should be me."
Boss Uesugi said with a wry smile.
Then, the middle-aged man narrated his own affairs.
Boss Uesugi's winery is a family business, which can be traced back to the Warring States Period, and even a prince.
When he said this, Boss Uesugi was quite proud.
But, immediately, the boss sighed.
"But with the passage of time, the Uesugi family has already declined, especially in my generation - I am an incompetent person, and I have no ambition at all except to guard the only ancestral property."
"Fortunately, none of my parents, wife, or daughter disliked me because of this."
"On the contrary, he was very accommodating to me, so I lived a very happy life."
"It's just that something strange happened during the renovation of the ancestral house about two months ago."
"A figure of a girl keeps appearing in my dreams."
"At first I thought it was because I didn't rest well."
"But for a week, I dreamed about this girl."
"Then, my wife and daughter also dreamed."
Speaking of this, Uesugi's face was a little more sad.
Undoubtedly, this middle-aged man is very concerned about his family, his wife and children.
"Where are your parents?"
Hui Lijing asked.
"This is something to be thankful for. My parents traveled outside the island. Otherwise, at their age, I am afraid they would not be able to endure such torture."
"I should have let my wife and daughter go with me if I knew."
"But my wife is worried that I have no one to take care of me, and my daughter is still studying."
"well."
Uesugi sighed as he spoke.
"What does that girl look like?"
Hui Lijing continued to ask.
As a detective, Hui Lijing obviously understood what the assistant should do.
It is not the privilege of Ryosuke and Urashima to inquire and observe alone.
In the detective world, such a thing is almost a routine.
And Hui Lijing believed that Jason could see something.
Although Jason kept twitching his nose, she was a little puzzled.
It's not smelling food, why do you have to twitch your nose
"That girl can't see very clearly, but she must be pretty?"
"Like a princess!"
"Although I can't see it, my instinct tells me that's it, and she shouldn't be malicious."
Uesugi answered truthfully.
"oh?"
"and you?"
Hui Lijing's words were not finished, but the meaning was already obvious.
Since there is no malice, why did you come here to find Jason.
Uesugi replied immediately.
"She's begging me for help!"
"Help?"
Hui Lijing frowned.
It was an answer she hadn't expected.
In her perception of what happened in the "mysterious side" and "in the world", most ordinary people are victims.
Why did it turn over this time
The existence of the "mysterious side" and the "inner world" is asking ordinary people for help
"Yes, help."
"She kept saying help me."
"But after I asked, she disappeared."
"It's like this every time."
"It's the same when my wife and daughter ask."
Facing Hui Lijing's doubts, Uesugi nodded, and said with certainty, then, the middle-aged man just stood up, threw himself on the ground, and said to Jason: "Your Excellency Jason, Please save her and save my family."
Hui Lijing blinked.
This time, the female detective did not speak again.
She left it entirely to Jason to decide.
This is the self-consciousness of a newcomer and a rookie.
It is also a valuable experience that Hui Lijing has learned from the battlefield.
Don't believe people with such experience
Most of them will always maintain the status of rookies and rookies, and then... were pierced by bullets, or smashed to pieces by shells.
Simply put, this is an experience in exchange for life.
Hui Lijing will naturally abide by it.
"Um."
Jason nodded.
Uesugi raised his head happily.
"Thank you so much."
"Thank you very much."
The middle-aged man said again and again, and then continued bluntly: "The little girl didn't hurt us, but some kind of power is hurting her. If she is killed, we who are in contact with her are naturally very It's hard to escape—so, please don't think that I have any sense of benevolence and righteousness, I'm just purely protecting myself."
"Because of this, please tell me the truth about what remuneration you need."
Uesugi said, saluting again.
Seeing Uesugi in this appearance, Hui Lijing's impression of him went up to a higher level again.
Really a polite, honest guy.
She has seen too many intrigues, guys who care about every cent for a penny.
There are too few people like Uesugi.
Subconsciously, Hui Lijing wanted to help Uesugi speak.
However, the female detective wisely restrained herself.
"Take me to your ancestral home."
"After reading it, let's talk about the reward."
Jason ended the conversation with these words.
After the three of them left the office, Jason walked towards 'Rock Electric' on purpose, and Jason got into the car only after the rock boss confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Uesugi in front of him.
Hui Lijing was still driving.
Follow Uesugi's car.
"Jason, you are really too careful."
"It's worth my study."
"Are you suspicious of him?"
The female detective naturally understood the meaning of Jason's actions just now.
"Having never experienced life and death, it is doubtful at any time."
Jason talked about his ideas.
In this regard, the female detective did not refute.
She also approves of such words.
And just when the female detective was about to say something, she suddenly noticed that Jason's eyes were looking behind him.
Subconsciously, the female detective looked in the rearview mirror.
Immediately, she had a discovery.
Huh, stalker
