Chapter 4 Familiar City, Stranger

When you come out of the 'Mask X Cleaver X Meat' office, just walk down the metal stairs, and you can see the second-hand electrical appliance store across the road.

'Rock Electric'.

The signboard looks like a light box, with a white background and black characters.

The corners have long been broken, but they can still be used, and the boss has not replaced them.

There are old washing machines and TV sets on both sides of the store entrance, and they are placed together with the dilapidated signboard, and there is no sense of abruptness.

The boss is an elderly man, sitting sideways in a chair in the shop, watching the TV placed in front of the door.

The TV was an old color TV with its own antenna. The screen was bulging, and the screen was full of snowflakes, but the old man watched it with relish.

"Jason, good afternoon."

"do you need anything?"

The old man greeted Jason with a natural and enthusiastic expression.

acquaintance?

Jason frowned secretly.

What he worries most now is meeting acquaintances.

Without any memory of 'self', he could only choose to nod vaguely.

"I need a TV."

Jason said so.

"television?"

"Of course there is! If you are single, you should have gotten one for a long time, even to relieve your loneliness!"

"How do you like this one?"

The boss pointed to the TV he was watching, and said with a smile: "I received it a week ago, it is 80% new, it has its own antenna, and I can watch five TV stations stably, and..."

Saying that, the boss lowered his voice.

"It's a good match for your profession!"

"Um?"

Jason looked at the mysterious boss who came over in surprise.

"Its previous owner said that a well will appear on this TV inexplicably, and a woman with long hair in white will appear from the well, and then, little by little, will climb out of the TV."

The owner of the electrical store lowered his voice and pretended to be gloomy.

As he spoke, the owner of the electrical appliance store took a pose, put his hands on his chest, bobbing up and down, and kept whispering in his mouth: "I hate it, I hate it so much."

Jason shrugged.

No food taste.

As a result, Jason became expressionless as he looked at the pretending to be mysterious and eerie electrical boss.

It is definitely not a pleasant thing to be stared at by a strong man with a height of 2 meters + and a rough face.

The same goes for electrical store owners.

Soon, the boss let out bursts of dry laughter under Jason's gaze.

"I also heard from the previous guest."

The other side explained.

"What about the guest?"

Jason asked as he checked the TV in front of him.

Although for Jason,

This kind of TV is really an antique, but it is no longer easy to learn to adjust the station. After all, the rotary button above has already indicated everything.

"do not know."

"Speaking of which, the other party doesn't seem to be from the Silver-11 block."

"I haven't seen him at all before."

"Don't worry, the formalities are complete anyway, and there are invoices from the department store. There must be no problem with the source of the TV."

The electrical appliance owner pondered, but quickly shook his head.

"Rich?"

Jason asked after checking.

"200."

The electrical owner quoted a price.

"100."

Jason returned a price.

Suddenly, the electrical appliance owner jumped up from his chair.

That sensitive reaction is not what an old man with a white beard should have.

"How can you do this?"

"How can there be bargaining, cut in half... Wait!"

"Don't go!"

Jason ignored the boss's shouting at all, turned around and left.

"120!"

"At least 120!"

"I took it at 110!"

The electrical owner stopped Jason and explained it directly.

Jason stopped, looked inside the store, and finally stopped on a radio.

"120 is fine, it's a head start."

Jason pointed to the good-quality radio that played the news.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"I can't...we can talk."

"Really, we can talk!"

Seeing Jason who was leaving again, the boss stopped him again.

In the end, Jason got a used TV and a used radio for 125.

It should be a price that is stuck in the heart of the electrical appliance owner.

Jason uses eight times the perception of ordinary people and listens to the heartbeat of the electrical appliance owner to judge his price.

Seeing the back of Jason holding up the TV and radio, the electrical appliance owner shook his head.

He obviously looks big and three thick, why do you bargain so much?

Shouldn't he not bargain and let him earn a sum of money directly?

Just as the electrical appliance owner was thinking about it, he suddenly saw two figures. Suddenly, the electrical appliance owner shrank his head and hid back in the shop.

Urashima hurriedly followed behind the senior, the chief Ryosuke.

Seeing the man walking fast in front of him, Urashima couldn't help sighing.

As a senior, this man is not very qualified, so far he has not learned anything.

As a senior officer, this man is even more unqualified.

Just like this case.

The well-known supervisor, Ichiro Aijo was murdered.

Also, the head is gone.

According to the investigation, the last person the other party saw was a man named Jason.

The other party lives in Yin-11-101, and there is an exorcism office called "Mask X Machete X Meat".

According to the procedure, he will come here to inquire and take notes for this man named Jason, instead of Ryosuke, who is the manager.

But in the face of Liang Jie, who is an administrator, how could he refuse an ordinary inspection?

Hope there won't be any big mess.

Thinking of what his superior had done, Urashima couldn't help but pray.

However, everything was a little unexpected.

Ryosuke stopped when he was two meters away from Jason.

Dangerous guy!

When Ryosuke saw Jason, a shudder rose in his heart.

That was the feeling he only had when facing very few people.

But among the very few people, no one can give him the same strong feeling as now.

How many people did this guy kill?

ten?

twenty?

Ryosuke thought, and subconsciously put his hand on his waist.

That's where the guns go.

However, Ryosuke did not draw the gun.

He knew very well that in the face of a guy like Jason, once he drew his gun, he would really be immortal.

And he?

Not sure to face Jason.

Even with a gun in hand.

Thinking of this, Ryosuke put down his hand.

Since it is useless, then stop doing useless work.

To deter a tiger with a stick can only anger the tiger.

Thinking of this, Ryosuke spoke directly.

"I'm Ryosuke, a detective, and I hope we can talk about Ichiro Aijo, who was murdered."

When Ryosuke said this, he kept staring at Jason's eyes.

However, what made Ryosuke frown was that Jason's eyes were very calm, without any waves.

Neither surprised nor panicked.

Very bland.

It seems that everything is irrelevant.

Again, everything seemed to be expected.

In fact, it is.

Who will believe the scum's oath?

Others may be willing to believe.

Can Jason?

Absolutely don't believe it.

For Jason, if the scum's oath can be believed, there will be no lightning and thunder for no reason.

The oath you swore, I'm going to get in the rain?

Jason would not be such an innocent and honest person.

As for Aijo Ichiro's death?

Jason can guess that it should be the hand of the girl in the tea bowl.

After eating shriveled here, with all the subconscious manifestations of the other party, it will not rest in peace.

"what do you know?"

Ryosuke stared at Jason and asked.

"do not know anything."

"I've been here before."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask."

Jason answered.

Ryosuke winked at Urashima, and the young detective immediately took action.

During this period, Jason and Ryosuke did not stand on the side of the road.

The two walked to the downstairs of the 'Mask X Machete X Meat' office, White Bear Cafe.

"What do you want to drink, I'll treat you."

Ryosuke said.

Suddenly, Jason glanced at the middle-aged policeman.

Short hair, thin face, with the slightest stiffness, as if he had been injured, making his face look very fierce, his body straight, seemingly thin, but with considerable explosive power, sitting at that time, the waist and back also maintained. An optimal force posture.

Jason would have a hard time believing that someone like Ryosuke would be a policeman if he hadn't read the other party's documents.

It's more appropriate to say thugs.

Do not!

Are outlaws!

Moreover, some of the other party's habits are also similar to the outlaws that Jason is familiar with.

Even on the other side, Jason smelled a little bit of the residents of the "city that never sleeps".

It's faint, but it does exist.

Of course, the sizing ends here.

What Jason cares more about is what the other party said... treat.

"Ten caramel lattes first, and twenty ice cream balls, with a muffin base."

Jason glanced at the signature menu behind the cafe bar and said naturally.

Ryosuke was stunned.

The owner of the cafe was also taken aback.

But, right away, the cafe owner got into action.

The action is quick and the technique is skillful.

Ryosuke's stiff face became more and more stiff.

He always felt as if he had just said the wrong thing.

"Overeating is not good."

Ryosuke said so.

"Well, so, I usually only eat 70% full."

Jason nodded and looked at the lady boss of the cafe again... the signature menu behind him.

"Any steak?"

"Fry me ten servings, seven ripe."

Jason said.

"Okay, guest."

The female boss replied with a smile.

Although the fluffy, curly hair covered the corners of her eyes and most of her nose, after the corners of her mouth were upturned, the other party smiled like flowers.

Under such a smile, the person who was black and full of gloom also became brighter.

On the other hand, Ryojie's face became even more rigid.

The middle-aged criminal policeman wanted to say something, but seeing Jason staring at the cafe's photo menu eager to try, he wisely chose to shut up.

Even Ryosuke couldn't help but want to get up and leave.

He could now be sure that Jason and Ichiro Aijo's deaths had absolutely nothing to do with them.

Because, no murderer would 'blackmail' a policeman like Jason, even for a meal... well, a meal, just a meal.

Ryosuke touched his wallet and told himself silently.

While the female boss was preparing, Urashima returned.

"Sir, I have already investigated!"

"Mr. Jason has been on the Silver-11 block just now!"

"The owners of octopus balls shops, glutinous rice dumpling shops, dorayaki shops, taiyaki shops, etc. on the street can all testify for Mr. Jason!"

Urashima answered seriously.

"understood."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Ryosuke felt a little heartbroken inexplicably.

This is your Qicheng full?

Then, he walked quickly to the stage.

"Do you need anything else?"

"You can tell me directly."

The lady boss replied with a smile.

"No, I'll settle the bill."

Ryosuke took out his wallet.

If I stay, I really have to stay here to wash the dishes.

The smell of dish soap...it's really unpleasant.

"A total of 271 yuan was spent."

The lady boss quoted the price.

"Is there no discount?"

Ryosuke asked struggling with his wallet.

"No."

"If you don't have enough cash, you can go to withdraw money. There is a bank not far away."

The female boss smiled and pointed outside.

Only the eyes covered by the hair flashed an inexplicable light.

Not even hair can cover it.

Ryosuke is familiar with such light.

This is the light of vigilance!

The other party is worried about him... eating the overlord meal?

how is this possible!

It is absolutely impossible for me, Ryosuke, to do such a thing.

"no need."

Ryosuke said in a deep voice, then turned to look at Urashima.

"Urashima, you settle the bill first, pay the salary, and I will pay you back."

After speaking, Ryosuke strode out.

Even when passing by Jason, he didn't stop, on the contrary, he walked faster.

The female boss glanced at Ryosuke's back, and then her eyes locked on Urashima, who was at a loss.

"guest?"

"Any questions?"

"Do you need me to call the police?"

The female boss pointedly reminded Urashima.

"No, I'll just... I'll pay the bill, do you have an invoice?"

Urashima subconsciously wanted to say that he was a policeman, but he felt that it would be very embarrassing to say it. The words came to his lips, he swallowed them abruptly, and then he began to struggle.

Just like a fish that came ashore, it opened its mouth and began to breathe.

But……

There is no oxygen.

Only pain.

Urashima is also distressed for his wallet.

As a bachelor, he has to save money to marry a wife.

Therefore, the invoice must have.

This is evidence that Ryosuke borrowed money.

He was not worried that Liang Jie would not repay the money. As his senior and officer, Liang Jie's credit in this respect was no problem. What he was worried about was that it would not be his turn.

That's right.

Ryosuke is the kind of man who goes into debt to get by.

The pay day is the repayment day.

Empty in an instant.

So, you have to be reminded all the time.

"Have."

said the female boss.

Urashima breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike Ryosuke's departure, Urashima saluted Jason before leaving.

After that, it was the lady boss who served the dishes.

Coffee, ice cream, steak.

Jason had a great time eating.

craft?

not bad.

At least much stronger than him.

Looking at Jason, who was like the wind and the clouds, the female boss sat directly opposite Jason and asked in a familiar tone

"What happened to what you promised me?"
