I don’t know why Mao Li Ran came to my house.

Seeking revenge?

Itake Karuta remembered that

Mao Li Ran’s fighting ability was also well-known in the world of science.

However, since Mao Li Ran rang the doorbell instead of banging on the door to force her way in, Itake Karuta would not fight.

Even if a fight broke out,

Itake Karuta was not panicked at all. Itake Karuta walked down the stairs and walked out of the house.

The house is a three-story villa located in a residential area near the city center. It has a spacious front yard and an independent swimming pool in the backyard. It is surrounded by walls. It was purchased at a discount from a wealthy customer with connections. Itake Karuta walked to the front of his own hollow iron gate, looked at the girl with a haggard face outside the door, and said lightly:

“I have finished work today. If you want to check your fortune, please come early tomorrow.”

It is already dusk.

“I know I’m late……”

“I should have persuaded Shinichi to apologize earlier.……”

Mao Lilan grabbed the door, tears welling up in her eyes, and she was very emotional:

“But Mr. Itake, please tell me that Shinichi is not dead!”

“Shinichi…he is not dead……”

“Woo woo woo……”

Mao Lilan couldn’t accept it.

She had gone to Dorobiga Amusement Park with Kudo Shinichi yesterday.

Although Kudo Shinichi said that he had something to investigate and left temporarily, she never expected that when she woke up today, she would see a death notice in the newspaper.

The childhood sweetheart who had known each other for many years was gone just like that. No one could remain calm.

Seeing Mao Lilan’s excitement,

Itake Karuta smiled slightly:

“I can tell you the answer, but it’s a paid service.”

People who are emotionally agitated are the easiest to manipulate.

As long as they gain trust, they will do whatever you say.

“What business?” Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment.

“1 million yen,” Itake Karuta explained:

“Pay me and I’ll calculate it for you”

“Let’s see whether Kudo Shinichi is dead or alive.”

Ran Mao Li was delighted and burst into laughter:

“You mean… Shinichi is still alive?!!!”

Because of Kudo Shinichi’s death, Mao Lilan was extremely sad and could not accept the reality. She did not dare to see the body and ran over to vent her emotions.

After all, in her eyes, Kudo Shinichi had a quarrel the day before yesterday, which angered the god believed in by Itake Karuta, and that’s why he suddenly met with an accident.

Itake Karuta shook his head,”I don’t know whether he is dead or alive.”

“You need to ask the gods to know the exact answer.”

“This kind of business is generally not open to the public.”

“But you, beautiful lady, I can make an exception.”

After saying that, Itake Karuta opened the door and turned back without caring whether Mao Lilan agreed or not.

Mao Lilan gritted her teeth and quickly followed her steps and walked into the house.

Although 1 million yen is not a small amount, the money of the Maori family is managed by Mao Lilan, so it can still be taken out.

As long as Itake Karuta can give that answer,

What is 1 million yen!

Although there is a high probability that it will be the sad answer…

But at least, before the answer is given, there is another possibility…

Soon,

Itake Karuta led Mao Lilan to the reception room on the second floor.

This is where they usually meet clients, and it is also the place to observe fortune and ward off disasters.

The floor is covered with tatami, so you can sit on the floor, and there are also cushions for kneeling, which is more suitable for the habits of the people of Sakura Country.

The room is very empty, with basically nothing in it.

Only on one wall, there is a two-meter-high scroll painting.

There is only one person in the painting, standing in it.

You can’t see his face or clothes clearly, and you don’t know whether he is a man or a woman.

Looking closely, the brushstrokes on the paper are clear, the lines are delicate, the nose is a nose, and the eyes are eyes, but when you try to piece them together, your mind can’t remember. You only vaguely know that there is a person in the painting.

“Ordinary people cannot see the appearance of gods clearly.”

Itake Karuta spoke lightly, awakening Mao Lilan who was fascinated by the painting.

Mao Lilan was stunned by the mysterious painting, and quickly retracted her gaze and knelt down on the cushion obediently.

Itake Karuta closed the door, turned his back to the painting, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

Mao Lilan, who was sitting opposite, felt that after Itake Karuta sat down, he vaguely merged with the person in the painting.

“Before you ask the gods, tell them your name.”

Itake Qingtian spoke slowly, with a hint of majesty in his voice, but it was very natural, as if it was supposed to be this way.

“Maori…Lan……”

Mao Lilan was a little nervous and felt that Itake Karuta was not simple.

“Mao Lilan,” Itake Karuta said:

“Are you willing to pay 1 million yen as a tribute to ask the gods about Kudo Shinichi’s life and death?”

Ran Maori nodded repeatedly:”Yes, yes!”

As soon as the voice fell,

Itake Karuta opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of darkness, without a trace of white, dark and deep, as if all light would be attracted to them.

Maori Ran’s eyes met, and her heart trembled immediately, and she was too scared to speak.

“Kudo Shinichi is still alive.”

Itake Karuta’s voice also became extremely low and majestic.

Then,

Itake Karuta blinked, his eyes returned to normal, and his voice also returned to normal.

“The gods have answered your question. Now, please choose a payment method.”

But Mao Lilan was still sitting there in a daze, obviously shocked by what she had just seen and heard.

Seeing this,

Itake Karuta was not in a hurry.

After all, this was a method he specially arranged.

Ordinary people would be more or less frightened when they saw it for the first time, especially those who were flustered and weak-willed.

Even if you have real skills, if you don’t calm the situation, it is easy for customers to refuse to pay or even cause trouble.

This is the experience Itake Karuta gained as a transporter for many years before he traveled through time.

As for the person in the painting hanging on the wall, it was actually Itake Karuta himself, but he used some tricks to make it difficult for ordinary people to remember and see clearly.

“What?! Shinichi is still alive?”

Ran Mao finally came to her senses, her face full of shock and disbelief,”Is this true?!”

Itake Karuta said calmly:”Of course it is true”

“Miss Maori, don’t think about defaulting on your debt.”

“Otherwise, you know the consequences.”

His calm tone made Mao Lilan respect him.

“I dare not, I dare not, I am just too happy for a moment……”

“Tomorrow morning, you must bring 2 million yen!” With the previous experience of Kudo Shinichi and the mysterious experience just now,

Mao Lilan dared not doubt it at all.

Since Itake Karuta said that Shinichi was still alive, it must be true!

“Where is Shinichi?”

Mao Lilan asked eagerly in delight.

He took the bait!

Itake Karuta smiled secretly in his heart and said calmly:”This is another price.”
