Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"That's because..." Honma Kyou looked troubled and softened his voice, "You gave me so much money, and I was worried that you would get into trouble because of that money. I wasn't sure if I suddenly came to you. It causes you trouble, so I want to observe your situation first..."

Midorikawa Saki was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a dumbfounded voice, "Are you suspecting that I have embezzled public funds?"

Seeing that Midorikawa Saki was not nervous when speaking, Honma Kyoumei nodded hesitantly and admitted, "When you went to the store before, the stories about embezzlement of public funds that Shenji told you were indeed the experiences of the two previous customers, but I heard them discussing privately that the two guests were discovered not long after they embezzled public funds. Shenzhi told you that there were ways to avoid being found out. He was simply lying to you. After you gave me the money , the more I think about it, the more worried I become..."

"Are you worried that if I believe Shenji's words, I will use the methods he said to divert the company's money for my own use?" Midorikawa Saki laughed.

"Yes..." Honma Kyou was a little embarrassed, but she still explained to Midorikawa Saki seriously, "I came to you just to ask if you have embezzled public funds. If so, I want you to take the money. Go back and return it to the company, otherwise if this kind of thing is found out, you will definitely be prosecuted! "

Midorikawa Saki looked at Honma Kyou, "So, the reason why you haven't taken the initiative to talk to me in the past two days is because..."

"I'm worried that when I look for you, someone will notice me, and you will be found out about misappropriating public funds, so I want to observe the situation around you first, for example, see if any company employees are watching you, and wait to confirm that I I won't talk to you until I show up and won't cause you any trouble..." Honma Kyou said, bowing to Midorikawa Saki apologetically, "I know it's wrong to follow, but I really didn't I'm sorry for causing trouble to you!"

"Since you are not malicious towards me, forget it, I won't take it to heart, but I am a little curious, have you gained anything in the past two days?" Midorikawa Saki asked with a smile, "What do you think of the situation around me? How is it? Is someone watching me?"

"Actually, there are a lot of people around you who are paying attention to you." Honma Kyoshi stood up and turned to look at the coffee shop across the street. "Last night, after you and your colleagues went to dinner, that person said a lot to you at the door of the izakaya. By the way, the man in the brown suit that night always followed you out of the office building for the past three days. The day before yesterday at noon, yesterday at noon, and today at noon, after you went to the coffee shop, he would quickly walk out of the office building and do the same. In that cafe, his eyes were always on you. I think he must be paying attention to your movements. However, I'm not sure whether he has a crush on you, wants to get in touch with you, or for something else. The reason is spying on you..."

Midorikawa Saki raised her eyes and looked at Honma Kyou's side face before looking at the cafe across the street.

It seems that Boss Lark was right. This kid does have potential...

Although the tracking skills he showed before were very immature and could not be fooled by professionals, he was very patient and observant, and his brain was not too slow.

"In addition, there is a middle-aged woman with permed curly hair. She is the person you met and chatted with on the street yesterday morning when you came to work. She must also be your colleague, right? She is imitating your dress. Style, the clothes you wore yesterday, she wore a similar style today, I think she should be paying more attention to you, but she seems to just want to learn your dressing style, it doesn’t look like she has any malicious intent," Kyoshi Honma He withdrew his gaze and looked at Midorikawa Saki with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "Then there is the middle-aged man who talked to you outside the building this morning. After you walked into the company, he stared at your back for a long time. He doesn't look good, I'm not sure what's going on with him, but he doesn't seem to like you very much..."

"You are observing very carefully," Midorikawa Saki smiled, thinking that Chi Feichi was still sitting in the car listening, so she took the initiative to explain the identities of the three people, "The man in the cafe is my colleague , he seemed to have some affection for me. He would see me from time to time during work hours and would look for opportunities to spend more time with me. He would follow me and go to the cafe I like to go to for lunch. This should be the reason, the one with the curly perm. The middle-aged woman is also my colleague. She really likes my dressing style and has been imitating it recently. However, she has no ill intentions, so it doesn’t matter. As for the middle-aged man, he is my boss and my distant uncle. , thanks to his care, I am able to work here. In fact, he usually takes good care of me. It’s just that I didn’t take my work seriously before, and I always went to Cowherd’s shop to spend money. I had a fight with him two days ago, and he seemed like Still angry with me..."

"So that's it, it seems I misunderstood," Honma Kyou looked relaxed for a moment, and then frowned again. Because he was not sure what the relationship between the person in the car next to him and Midorikawa Saki was, he deliberately kept his words vague. , "However, the money you gave me is too much...will there really be no trouble?"

In the car, Chi Feichi asked in a hoarse voice like raki, "How much did you give him?"

Listening to the hoarse and harsh voice, Honma Kyou looked at the window of the black car with some surprise. He quickly realized that showing surprise might not be polite, and quickly suppressed the surprised look on his face.

The hand that handed the mineral water out of the window was gloved, and the wrist was covered by a black long sleeve. It was difficult for him to judge the age of the person in the car through the hand. He could only tell that it was a male hand.

The voice is so hoarse...

Is the person in the car an old man? But even if he is an old man, it is unlikely that he can make such an abnormally hoarse voice, right?

Is it because of the injury to the vocal cords?

When Honma Kyo's attention was distracted by Chi Feichi's voice, Midorikawa Saki answered Chi Feichi's question frankly, "I gave him 6 million, enough for him to pay all the tuition fees for college. There should be some living expenses left after that, or there may not be much left. He can take time to go out to do odd jobs and earn some pocket money. This will be enough for him to support his studies and life until he graduates from college."

Honma Kyo was surprised again.

This kind of thing... Miss Midorikawa also told the people in the car directly?

"Since I'm going to help him, I think I should at least cover all his tuition fees," Midorikawa Saki looked at the car window that had not been raised and asked with a smile, "This should be okay, right?"

"I said before that you can arrange the money freely. Whether you spend it all yourself or give part of it to others, I will not object," Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice, "You don't need to ask for my opinion."

Honma listened attentively to the conversation between the two and realized that the money should be given to Midorikawa Saki by the people in the car. He began to be unsure whether he would cause trouble for Midorikawa Saki, and his mood became annoyed.

The best situation he could think of was that the people in the car were Miss Midorikawa's family.

If Miss Midorikawa had a good family background and was deeply loved by her family, then even if Miss Midorikawa took out 6 million at once to help a young man who had only met her a few times go to school, although her family might not necessarily understand Midorikawa Saki's behavior, they should not blame Miss Midorikawa too much. If it really didn't work, he could also return the money, so that Miss Midorikawa's family would definitely not embarrass Miss Midorikawa...

But the situation might not be as good as he thought.

The man in the car said he didn't care how Miss Midorikawa arranged the money. Did he really not care? Now that the other party knew that Miss Midorikawa had given him so much money, would it affect Miss Midorikawa's evaluation in the other party's heart and affect Miss Midorikawa's future interests?

Moreover, Miss Midorikawa never said that the other party was her family, and the two had not revealed their relationship to him so far. He had to think about the worst case scenario.

He had worked in a gigolo club before and heard a lot of gossip from customers. Some customers would become extramarital lovers of rich people and find ways to get money before spending at the gigolo club. Among the customers who did this, there were also young office women who looked glamorous. So he had to make the worst assumption - the man in the car was Miss Midorikawa's sponsor. After Miss Midorikawa got a large sum of money from the other party, she handed it over to him. The other party said that he didn't care, but he might have been very dissatisfied with Miss Midorikawa in his heart...

This is the worst case scenario. The facts may not be like this, but this possibility cannot be ruled out.

If this is true, his appearance here today is to harm Miss Midorikawa.

Really, he had been observing for three days but didn't take the initiative to talk to Miss Midorikawa. He was worried that his presence would cause trouble to Miss Midorikawa, so he wanted to talk to Miss Midorikawa about this matter when no one was paying attention. But now, he ran directly to the car of the person who got Miss Midorikawa's money, stared at Miss Midorikawa for a long time, and even told her about the money she gave him...

(╥﹏╥)

What a failure!
