Chapter 8 Section VII

As long as you know the school and name, the next work will be much easier, and you can find out where she lives the next day.She lives in a town two stops away and is a sixth grader at the local elementary school. The residence I found was a cement house with white walls, and the lace curtains on the balcony windows were shaking.There are two doors; one has a signboard saying "Shiratori and Ritsuko Mizue" and the other has a signboard saying "Shiratori Housekeeping Service". Although I don't know, it is said that the so-called "housekeeping service" is simply "cleaning contract".The service object is not for the company line number, but for the general family.

"It's an industry that's become popular recently," said Kayo Ko. "However, Shiratori's business seems to be not going well. This industry is considered a luxury industry, and it seems that it is not so profitable. It is said that the husband quit his job two years ago to start his own business, but now he has no business and is in a panic. " Kayo tactfully inquired about the neighbors of Shiratori's house (she excused that "Mr. Shiratori's main bank entrusted us to investigate"), but they talked freely, and the degree of cooperation surprised Kayo.

"For a while, the business was really booming. They said they had loyal customers, but that was not the case at all. In fact, Mr. Shiratori snatched those customers privately from the cleaning supplies rental company he used to work for. After the incident was exposed, nothing happened. The business is open, and I have never seen any customers come to the door." "The wife and husband in that family are very vain, and don't care if it will cause trouble to others. Seeing how they often dress up and show off, I really don't know where the money comes from." "Mizue is the same. She wears different clothes every day. According to my child, Mizue proudly brags everywhere that she has never bought an auction item."

After confirming that a dark blue car and an off-road motorcycle were parked in the shed of Shiratori's house, Kayo went back. "I thought about it for a while," Xiao Jiadai just opened his mouth, and the director rushed to continue: "Extortion?" Kayo nodded. "Although I don't know what the reason is, but it should be true. Mr. Uedao will pay the money obediently if he has a handle in someone else's hands. He took the money from the bank and sent it in a small package waiting for the depository. " "Why did he burn down the pumping house?"

"Could it be that there was a handle left there? Or Mr. Zhicao's worry was unfounded. I think he was too worried, so he set fire to the hut on purpose, never expecting that he would be arrested." "But how do we find evidence?" When the director asked, Kayo frowned. "Although I don't want to do this, I have no choice but to trouble Mimi." Mimi is one of the veteran investigators of Hasumi Firm. She is considered as a contract employee and will come to help when she is entrusted.Although his name is Mimi, he is not a young woman, but an uncle.The reason he has such a cute nickname is because of his specialty.

Mimi is an expert on eavesdropping. "It's a residential area, and the neighbors may be chatty, so there's no way to tamper with the phone line. Can I borrow Ah Zheng?" Mimi, who came over with a bag, quickly made a plan. First, Mimi took me for a walk near Shiratori's house.Then I jumped over the Shiratori carport, onto the roof of the dark blue car, and onto the hood, leaving a lot of footprints.Grab the bike by the way and scrape off a bit of the paint. "This guy doesn't know what he did, he suddenly went crazy." Mimi, who restrained me, humbly apologized to the Shiratori family.The next day, he packed some money, saying it was "cleaning fee", and went again with the cakes.Seeing this, Mrs. Bai Niao greeted: "Oh, don't stand in the porch, please come in." Let Mimi enter the house.

"It's ready." Mimi reported back to Hasumi's office. "The bug is behind the sideboard in the dining room, test it." Before capturing the conversation about the specific plan, Kayo and Mimi parked the car near Shiratori's house and stayed there for five days.The car was parked out of sight of Shiratori's house, and the nearby residents were also trusted with the excuse of "investigation commissioned by Mr. Shiratori's bank."Although I don't know what Kayo and the others are doing in the car, I heard that a housewife brought coffee for the two of them.Neighbors are really a race that cannot be ignored.

Kayo, who came back with the results of the battle, had a toothache on his face. "Those people are planning the next battle." "Combat? What are they going to do?" Xiaoxi asked. Little Kayo shuddered. "The closest way to say it should be the fairy dance..."
