Chapter 128 After the Case is Closed
Chapter 129 After the Case is Closed
The next morning, Xiaolan called me from outside the door. According to her, I had missed two days of classes, so I couldn't be late today, so Xiaolan pulled us out of bed early. Although my sleep time in the organization has never been stable, at least I can sleep until I wake up naturally every time, even if Jingliu wakes me up every day to go to training. After all, I can rest early the day before, so my sleep time is guaranteed. Of course, chatting with Shiho until dawn and then staring at dark circles to go to class is another matter. But to be honest, I feel uncomfortable when we quarreled for the reason of going to school. But when I think of going out for a morning run with Xiaolan every day before the age of six, I feel relieved. After ten years, Xiaolan still keeps the habit of getting up every morning to run. This also makes me feel sad every morning when I see Xiaolan going out for a run.

After washing up and having breakfast, Conan and I went to school with our schoolbags on our backs. Of course, Xiaolan went with us. But speaking of schoolbags, although I had a necklace which was very convenient, in order to prevent the great detective from being curious about my actions, I still bought a schoolbag obediently. I stuffed a bunch of unknown books called textbooks into it.

At a street corner, Xiaolan met her best friend Yuanzi. I think this is where Xiaolan and Yuanzi agreed to meet in the morning to go to school. But just when we met, before we even said hello, Yuanzi's not-so-full chest once again overwhelmed me.

"Wow! This kid is so cute!" Sonoko's eyes were full of stars, and she kept kneading my face. "Hey, Xiaolan, let's temporarily foster this kid in my house." Seeing Sonoko's persistence, Xiaolan could only smile awkwardly. Conan hid aside and covered his mouth to suppress his smile. As for me... I have long been accustomed to the magnificent offensive of the quiet flow, and I am basically immune to such small attacks. After saying goodbye to Xiaolan, Conan and I embarked on the road to formal elementary school.

"You'll see three classmates in two more intersections." Conan said calmly.

"kindness?"

"Ah, they are three little ghosts who have a good relationship with me." Conan smiled softly, "They are three very interesting little ghosts."

"Oh, Kudo, you are actually interested in children?" I teased.

"How is it possible..." Conan narrowed his eyes. "I mean, they formed a very interesting team, the name is..."

【So Thank You For Everything，ここから変わり开める．真っすぐな道などないと気づいた强さ见つけた. . . 】

A moving piece of music interrupted Conan's words. My cell phone rang. I took out my cell phone and found that the caller was Shoulang. I raised my eyebrows, hung up the phone, and then I started to fool Conan. "The boss who provided me with information yesterday is here to collect the debt. I'll go and take care of it. You go to school first."

"Debt collection? Did you buy the information about Nagato Group?" Conan was surprised.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" I squinted my eyes and continued to talk nonsense. "How could you find such detailed information for me without spending money?"

"How much did you spend on this information?" Conan fell into the trap.

"Not much, maybe tens of millions of yen. I once saved this boss's life when I was on a mission, so I shouldn't have any problem giving him a 10% or 20% discount."

"Tens of millions? And that's after a 10% or 20% discount?!" Conan said in shock.

"Come on, great detective, the Nagato Zaibatsu is a large conglomerate that is on par with the Suzuki Group. Do you think their information is easy to get?" I said unscrupulously. "If a rival company gets a few hundred million yen to get a zaibatsu, they will be so happy."

"Hehe, hehe... The power of hackers is so terrifying." Conan said with a twitching mouth.

"Hey~~ Conan. Over here~" Conan and I just turned the next corner when a young female voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a little girl in a pink puff-sleeved dress waving happily at Conan, and behind her were two little boys. Looking around, aren't these the members of the Junior Detective Team?

"It seems you are quite popular, great detective." I chuckled, "You go ahead, I will go to school after I am done."

"Hey, aren't you afraid of being late?" Conan looked at me puzzled.

"Compared to being late, I would rather not delay my boss. Maybe I will have to buy a lot of information from him in the future." I shrugged and said, "You go first. I will rush to school before school is over in the afternoon." After saying that, I picked up the phone again, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"Hey, hey..." Conan narrowed his eyes. "If Xiaolan knew, she would definitely kill you and me at the same time." Seeing me turn the corner and go back, Conan sighed and ran to the three children.

"Hey, Conan, who was that child next to you just now?" the little girl asked, tilting her head.

"He, he is the transfer student who should have come to our class three days ago." Conan said unscrupulously.

"Transfer student? So it's him. I really want to get to know him~"

"But why is his hair pale blond? Has it been dyed?"

"Humph, dyeing his hair and skipping classes, he must not be a good kid, let's just ignore him. Let's go, or we'll be late." The three little brats chattered non-stop, and then walked towards the school, completely ignoring Conan who was frowning behind them.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

On the other side, I turned a corner after leaving Conan, took out the phone again, and called back. "Ah, Mr. Liufeng, you are really busy." As soon as the phone was connected, the ugly voice of the skinny wolf came into my ears.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm in a hurry. Where is she?" I said coldly.

"She's been fished out and is right next to me. Do you want to say something to her?" Skinny Wolf said with a smile.

"Let's start the video call. This will be more convenient." As I said that, I turned the call into a video call, and Skinny Wolf did the same. Soon, a familiar figure appeared in front of me.

"Xiao...Xiaoxun." A timid voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ah, Sister Hinata, it's good to see you again." I smiled at Hinata on the other side with my little white teeth bared.

"Yeah, me too." Hinata responded somewhat at a loss. "But, Xiaoxun, can you tell me what's going on?" Through the video, I saw Hinata's panicked face.

"Well... didn't you say that you wanted to start a new life?" I laughed. "So I will help you fulfill your wish."

"But why. Why do you have such great power?" Hinata was puzzled. I am just a child. Why can I bail her, a murderer, out of prison so easily? Just last night, a few hours after I called Xiaoxun, two policemen told me that I was released on bail. I walked out of the police station. A luxury car was already parked at the door waiting for me. Although I didn't know why, Hinata still got in the car and went all the way to a private airport in eastern Tokyo. Then I took a plane to this somewhat desolate island. Although there was nothing on this island, looking at the rows of temporary public housing and dormitories, Hinata understood that a huge project on this island should be underway. Following the driver who had just led the way, Hinata soon met Shoulang. After being arranged in a luxurious room to rest for a night, this morning, Hinata finally met the instigator.

"How could I have such great ability? This was all done by the person next to you."

"Mr. Koga?" Hinata looked at the man with a cane next to him in surprise.

"Ah, I just have a good relationship with Mr. Koga, so I asked him to rescue you, Hinata-nee." I laughed. "As for the rest, there is nothing I can do to help you. I can only give you this much freedom."

"No, this is enough for me, thank you, Xiaoxun." Hinata said gratefully. "But, Xiaoxun, I still don't understand why Mr. Koga called you Ryufu just now..."

"A.secret.makes.a.gentlemen.more.style." I said devilishly. "I'm just an ordinary kid, don't think too much about it, Hinata-nee. Give the phone to Koga, I have something to tell him."

"Well... well, finally, please allow me to express my gratitude to you. Thank you, Xiaoxun." Although Hinata didn't know the reason behind this, she could already conclude that from the confident smile of the child on the other end of the video, this child must be extraordinary.

The video was switched to a call again. After Hinata Yuki left, Shoulang took the phone and said in embarrassment, "Mr. Liufeng, we owe the government another favor this time."

"Keep calm, in a few days when things are stable here, I will take over some tasks from you. Those people in the government must have a lot of headaches. We owe them once, and then we will make them owe us more. In return, you, Skinny Wolf, will have more chances to clear your name." The corners of my mouth rose slightly.

"Yeah, that's true." Skinny Wolf thought about it and then felt relieved. "But I don't understand, Mr. Liu Feng, why do you want me to save such a person? I have investigated her information privately, and she is just an ordinary person."

"Well... I just do some good things occasionally." I laughed. "Besides, this woman is Nagato Michizo's secretary, so she must be capable. Keeping her by your side can give her a chance to start over. In the process of clearing your name, you will always need someone to take care of some trivial matters for you. She is a good candidate. Try not to let her get involved in any shady business, but you can trust her with all your public businesses."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Liufeng really took care of me, Skinny Wolf." Skinny Wolf laughed heartily, but his voice and hearty laughter sounded scary.

"Well... we have been working together for so many years. You have always shouldered all the responsibilities alone. Now that you are going to clean up your mess, I will have to find more helpers for you. Besides, my island still needs you to build it, so I will do what I can. Okay, I will leave Hinata Yuki's problem to you. I have other things to do here. I will go get the new phone later, and when you are ready, send me the task list for the past month. Um... I want the mercenary task list."

"Ah? Mercenary task list?" Shoulang was stunned. As a master ranked fifth on the assassin list, he actually wanted to be on the mercenary task list? Wouldn't this lower his own value? You should know that the first 100 tasks on the mercenary task list are undoubtedly assassinations, and all of them will be put on the assassin task list. Relatively speaking, the tasks that are not on the assassin list are those low-level, non-assassination tasks that will appear on the mercenary task list. Even things like protecting national leaders are at most A-level, and there are very few of them. Besides, asking a killer to be the leader's bodyguard is not in accordance with the rules. Only the leaders of small countries do not have professional bodyguards around them. However, the most crucial point is that there is no formal ranking on the mercenary list. After all, the mortality rate of the mercenary profession is much higher than that of assassins.

"Ah, I can't take on big orders recently, so give me the mercenary task list. A mosquito leg is still meat, right?" I said awkwardly. It's not that I don't want to take it, but I don't have much chance to kill people now. Don't forget that there is always a great detective following me.

"Okay. I don't have anything to do here, how about you?" Skinny Wolf asked me.

"I don't have much left. I will repay the government's favor as soon as possible. You should also hurry up and make those two clothes. I may need them soon."

"I understand. I will hurry up. At the same time, I will also arrange Miss Hinata's affairs, please rest assured. Then Mr. Liufeng, I will hang up first. I wish you good luck in martial arts."

"Hu..." I hung up the phone and let out a long breath. A helpless smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. The government's favor must be at least an A-level mission to repay. I shook my head slightly, found an empty street, and drew my sports car from the necklace. I sped all the way to my villa four blocks away.
