"Of course."
Maruden Jirou nodded, then pulled out a stack of envelopes from behind him and handed them to Fujino. "Thank you so much this time, Detective Fujino. You helped me investigate that bitch so quickly..."
Ding-dong, ding-dong!
At that moment, the doorbell rang urgently again.
"You should hurry up and go receive your client."
Fujino took the envelopes and nodded. "My commission is complete now."
"If I have any more commissions in the future, I'll come to you again."
With that, Maruden Jirou walked out of the room.
"Five hundred thousand yen secured."
After Maruden Jirou left, Fujino stretched lazily and stored the money in the system space.
Current Balance: 1.3 million yen
After glancing at the system balance, Fujino opened the mission interface.
Detective Profession Mission: Antique Collector Murder Case Mission Objective: Solve the antique collector murder case by any means necessary Mission Location: Maruden Jirou's residence Mission Reward: 500,000 yen, 50 Detective Reputation
"It's time to collect the remaining five hundred thousand yen and fifty Detective Reputation."
Setting those thoughts aside, Fujino pulled out a Wooden Sword from his sports sling bag. "Fifty Detective Reputation... once I finish this mission, my detective level can rise..."
"Now that I've paid back the money, you can return that sword to me, right?"
In the side room, Suwa Yuji, dressed in a black suit, sat kneeling at the low table and stared at Maruden Jirou, who was counting money with a sinister expression.
"Oh, that sword?"
Maruden Jirou put away the money and said casually, "I already sold it. Tch, it wasn't worth much anyway."
"Since things have come to this, just consider the money from selling it as interest..."
Of course, he had not sold that sword.
Kikuchiyo was, after all, a famous blade. As
