As he walked toward Jiang Xia's group, the middle-aged man reassured himself: "..." Relax, don't panic. There are just a few more people here to join the fun. It's no big deal.
—Young detectives were always too impulsive. Whenever something happened, they liked to take risks alone. As long as he seized the opportunity and guided things properly, the plan would not go too far off course.
Thinking like this, the middle-aged man smiled at Jiang Xia and introduced himself. "Hello, my name is Haitang Yota."
He pointed to the side. "This is my wife, Haitang Chizuru. She's been writing Mystery Novels and has seen many reports about you. She greatly admires you!" —Praise him first. Praise him hard, until he lost himself in it!
At that, Haitang Chizuru lumbered forward on her two-hundred-pound steps and shook Jiang Xia's hand as well.
Then she withdrew her chubby hand and pointed at the low-key young female assistant behind her. "This is my assistant, Shimura Sachiko. While you're visiting my home, just tell her anything you want to eat or drink, and she'll arrange it."
Shimura Sachiko, who had been hiding in the back as an inconspicuous extra, froze at the words. She had no choice but to force a smile and step out. "That's right. Just give me your orders."
Haitang Yota: "..." He had deliberately ignored Shimura Sachiko earlier because he was afraid she was too stupid and Jiang Xia would spot a flaw, so he had tried to lower her presence. Yet this yellow-faced woman had forcibly pushed her right in front of the Detective... Hmph, a woman's heart was the most poisonous. He would kill her tonight and rid the people of a scourge.
The Haitang couple led their visitors on a brief tour around the Villa.
