Chapter 13 Section 6

Although the sun has set, I'm not going to turn off the air conditioner yet.From a distance, the sound of the engine of the motorcycle was getting closer and closer, and then stopped.I put the microphone back and swallowed the mineral water I bought from the convenience store on the first floor.Accompanied by a burst of noisy footsteps going upstairs, the door of the office was pushed open by Banping. "I am back!" "Well, hard work!" Hearing my voice, Hanhei made a strange expression. "What happened to your voice?" "nothing." As long as you don't speak too fast, it won't cause too much burden on the vocal cords, but because of this, my speaking speed becomes very slow.

"Because... I made too many phone calls... my voice... lost my voice." "Really? I've never had a hoarse experience! It turns out that talking too much really makes my throat hoarse!" "Because... I haven't talked much...for the past six months..." "What?" "So... my voice became... uncontrollable." Banping said sympathetically: "Then stop forcing yourself to speak!" I nodded and took another sip of mineral water.Then he waved to Banping, wrote a line of words on the note paper with a pen, and handed it to him—— "After the report."

"yes." Ban Ping began to report his harvest from the whole day.Including that he took photos of the original manuscript of the ancient document, including that an amateur historical researcher named Jiang Ma Changguang also investigated the origin of the ancient document, including that he is dead but his works still exist, including and Ema Tomotsu, who belongs to different research fields, also knows the history of Kobushi Town very well, including that this Iwamo Takashi is a teacher at Yamakita High School and so on. Banping made the following comments on the Yanaka area—— "It's so rural, and I can compete with Liu Sang, who I was born in. There must be no one in that kind of place at night, and there may not even be a street lamp."

I thought to myself, isn't this nonsense? In the process of listening to his report, I frowned twice in succession.The first time he was describing how he used a flash to take pictures of ancient documents.This kind of age-old stuff, especially paper, is the most sensitive to light. Many museums strictly forbid taking photos with flash.But forget it, it shouldn't matter much once or twice!I'm too lazy to correct him one by one, especially since everyone is so old, and besides, just talking is painful for me now. Another thing that made me frown was that after Banping left the Kobushi Town Board of Education, he came back directly.I scribble on paper—

"Why don't you just go to the library?" "No, I did! It's a pity that today happens to be the day for organizing books." "On Friday?" I remember that libraries and barbershops all over the country are closed on Mondays.But Banping has already said that, and asking further questions is just a waste of each other's time. "How would I know! The library has to be tidied up once a month, right? And isn't it the second Friday of every month? Anyway, if it's not open, it's not open!" I see.Who told me that I didn't know what kind of person Banping was, so I had no choice but to ask about the same thing!I tried my best to squeeze out my voice:

"Do you...know how to use...the library?" But Banping didn't seem to understand what I was asking him. "I don't understand what you mean. Does the library have any regulations on usage or quantity?" "I mean do you know how to find the books you need? How to grab the data you need?" I guess for a person like Banping, the only book he has read in a whole year is probably the manual of the mobile phone!Although I know that you can't judge people by their appearance, this is the kind of person you look at. Banping stared at my face for a long time, maybe he sensed that I doubted his ability!Suddenly smiled at me:

"It's no problem! I can still read books. Isn't there an interesting book recently? Uh...what's it called? It's about the field catcher..." "You mean Sullinger's work?" "Huh? Isn't that my song?" Banping stared at me blankly, and I looked back at him foolishly.Then he said: "Ah! I remembered, yes!" My throat was getting more and more painful, and I squeezed out the last bit of strength and said, "It's really chicken and duck talking!" Forget it, since the matter has been explained to him, he has no choice but to deal with it as he likes.For the sake of my own throat, I'd better stop asking.But, there is one thing I have to remind him.So I wrote on paper:

"If you're going to see that teacher tomorrow, it's best to make an appointment with him today." "reserve?" Banping made a strange sound. "Your so-called appointment, isn't it the... um... what time do I have to see you, please spare me the time? Do you have to make an appointment first?" "It's not necessarily true, but it's the basic common sense of being a human being." "Ah... I see!" Ban Ping seemed a little upset. So, he turned to me and asked, "How about you, Minister? Is there any progress?" How can I react other than shaking my head?

Whether it was a call to Kanzaki of "Cron Gooth" or a call to Asako Sakura, it was just a reconfirmation of what I already knew, and there was no other gain.Although this behavior is not unimportant, it is not constructive after all.Although Kanzaki's words made me feel strange, but just based on this, I still can't deduce where Kiriko is now.My purpose is just to find Tongzi, as to what difficulties she has, honestly, it's none of my business. As for the other Keiko Watanabe, who might know where Tongzi often goes, he searched for a long time but couldn't even find a shadow.Unexpectedly, just finding Keiko Watanabe would be a seemingly simple but difficult task.Whenever I managed to dial a phone number and asked the other party: "Is there a Ms. Keiko Watanabe in my house?" I always got the answer: "No." , I can continue to ask: "Then do you know Ms. Watanabe Keiko?" It's just that I haven't counted one thing, that is, when people know that this is a wrong call, their attitude is very bad, and they are often It is completely unimaginable when communicating face to face.My throat was fucked between repeated instructions and repeated requests, and no further information was asked at all.

After a long period of inhuman treatment, my respect for the job of telephone operator was overwhelming.Just that point of indomitable perseverance makes me admire so much.There is also the endurance of the throat.But then again, whenever I get a sales call, I usually just don't take the person too seriously. Ban Ping smiled and said: "That won't work! Even if I don't get anything, I still have my nightly income, but the minister gets a daily salary, right?" I don't need you to tell me.I am not very satisfied with the results of the first day, and even a little bit unconfident.

For the case of searching for Kiriko Sakura, I proposed a daily salary of how much money a day, plus a one-time payment for success, plus the necessary expenses for investigating the case.Although the daily salary is very low, if there is no gain at all, it is embarrassing to charge too much money.And every three days had to report to Sakura Keji.So this Sunday I have to report what I have found so far to Kazuji Sakura. On the other hand, the investigation of ancient documents is a one-time payment method after the acquisition is completed, and at most the expenses that must be paid during the investigation are added.It was also agreed that as long as Baidi did not take the initiative to ask, he would not be obliged to report the progress of the investigation to him.Because how long is this investigation going to take?How likely is it to succeed?At the time of signing the contract, there was no conclusion at all.Generally speaking, in order to save personnel costs, the firm does not want the investigation to take too long, but the salary I pay Banping is based on a commission system, so it doesn’t matter whether it takes him a year to solve it or just one day, There is not much difference in the finances of "Konya S&R".Even if the investigation still fails to find out why, the loss is only Banping. I resignedly wrote a line on the note paper—— "I will continue to work hard." Then I suddenly remembered another thing, and continued to write—— "I think your working hours are set from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Is it possible to work in time?" "I see. It's too late! Part-time work doesn't start until ten o'clock." I continued to scribble—— "Don't get tired!" "Don't worry! My own body..." "If you want to collapse, wait until the commission is completed. Also, I don't provide labor and health insurance here, so please take care." After Banping read what I wrote, a wry smile appeared on his face. "Minister Konya, you are basically ruthless!" Maybe it is!But maybe I just forgot how to be considerate of others.Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't say it out loud, and of course I didn't write it down. The hour hand happened to come to the off-duty time I had just set. -------------------- Notes:
