Chapter 74 fourth quarter

Naomi Imeda's office-cum-residence is located in Nishi Shinjuku, on the second floor of a five-story building facing an alley.There is a bus stop next to the building, and it takes only a few minutes to get here from Shinjuku Station.However, this is not necessarily convenient for guests.Every time the route is mentioned on the phone, the guests will invariably groan hesitantly.In order to persuade the guests to come, Imaeda often has good words to say, but every time he hangs up the phone, the tiredness always sweeps over like a wave. He also knew it would be more advantageous to move to the station.On the way to the detective agency, the client is likely to have all kinds of troubles and doubts, and it is very likely that he will change his mind and decide to give up during the few minutes on the bus.

But as land prices rise, so do rents.Imaeda really didn't want to pay a staggering amount of money every month just to rent a small office.After all, the wool comes from the sheep, the rent is expensive, and the investigation fee will also rise accordingly.It is the purpose of his business to serve clients at a reasonable fee as much as possible. Kazunari Shinozuka called the office. It was a Wednesday in July.There was a slight drizzle outside the window, and Imaeda had given up his mind, thinking that there would be no guests that day.As soon as he heard the caller's voice, Imae's intuition immediately told him that he had a business call, because the client's voice had a unique tone.

Sure enough, the other party expressed that he wanted to discuss some personal matters, and asked if it was convenient to come and visit now.Imaeda replied, "I'll wait for you." After hanging up the phone, Imaeda tilted his head and thought, Shinozuka Kazunari should be unmarried, so maybe it's not an ordinary affair investigation.Also, he didn't look like someone who would ask someone else to investigate if he found out that his lover was abnormal. On the day when Makoto and Makoto met at the golf driving range, standing behind Sento Liu, who became Takamiya's wife, was Shinozuka Kazunari.The three of them met for dinner that day and met at the golf driving range.Naturally, Imeda would not participate in their party, but he had a good chat with the three of them while drinking instant coffee in a paper cup in the training ground hall.Shinozuka handed him his business card at that time.

Later, Imaeda met him again at the golf driving range, and Shinozuka's golf skills are also quite high.Shinozuka didn't seem to care much about the work Imaeda mentioned a little bit, but maybe he had already made up his mind at that time. Imaeda took out a Marlboro, lit it with a disposable lighter, put his feet on the desk where the documents were piled up, and leaned on the chair to breathe.Grayish-white smoke wafts from the dim ceiling.Kazunari Shinozuka is not an ordinary office worker.His uncle is the president of Shinozuka Pharmaceutical, and he is the future leader.In this way, the investigation he is commissioning may be related to industry.Thinking of this, Imae felt the blood flow in his whole body accelerate, which he hadn't felt for a long time.

Imameda quit his job at Tokyo General Research two years ago to start his own business.Tired of being exploited as a cheap laborer, he gained the confidence to venture into the world alone, and he also established contacts in various fields.In fact, his business is doing well.The entrusted work is quite stable, and it is not a problem to support myself.He has a small savings and the luxury of enjoying golf once a month. But it lacks a sense of accomplishment.Most of his current work is affair investigation, and the industry investigation he often contacts when he works for Tokyo General Research can be said to be insulated now.He runs around every day to track down the love and hatred between men and women.He didn't hate this situation, but found that he no longer tensed up like before.In the past, he once wanted to be a policeman, and even entered the police academy.However, he was disgusted by the meaningless strict discipline of the police academy, so he dropped out of school.This was when he was in his twenties.

Later he worked several jobs.One day, I saw an advertisement for recruiting staff for the Tokyo General Research Institute in the newspaper.If you can't be a policeman, be a detective.He accepted the interview in this half-joking mood. Although he was admitted, he was treated as a work-student student at the beginning, and it took half a year to become a full-time employee. As an investigator, he found that he was very suitable for this line of work.This job is not as exciting as the private detectives in the film and television at all, it just repeats the lonely and monotonous work blindly.Because they do not have the power of the police, not all places can be entered openly.In addition, they are obliged to keep the client's secrets, try their best to leave no trace of investigation, and at the same time, there must be no omissions.And when you get the coveted materials after untold hardships, the joy and sense of accomplishment cannot be experienced from other places.

Perhaps the excitement could be regained——Imaeda had such expectations when he received the call from Shinozuka.He had a good hunch.But he restrained himself and put out his cigarette in the ashtray.Forget it, the higher the expectation, the more disappointed it will be.It must be investigating the conduct of women again, and it is almost impossible to make a mistake.He stands up to make coffee when the clock on the wall says two o'clock.
