Joseph Seeley Bank.
This is a physical bank registered in the UK. In addition to the functions of an ordinary bank, it also provides storage for items. In theory, as long as the deposit is large enough to pay the annual storage fee, the items can even be kept for hundreds of years.
The inheritance that the Quan couple want to hand over to their daughter is in this bank.
Yokohama is a concession city, so this bank, which is backed by the most powerful country and has extremely good security and confidentiality facilities, has become the first choice of many dignitaries.
The security guard at the door was a person with supernatural powers. Qian Ye and Quan Jinghua walked in side by side, and they were welcomed into a small room. To retrieve the items being kept, you not only need a token, but also need to answer some questions. The token was found under the small pond in the Quan family's old house just now. It was a special metal product that looked like a crescent moon.
After verifying that everything was correct, the staff went to get the items, and they were the only two people left in the room.
There was no monitoring equipment in the room, and the air-conditioning blowing from the central air conditioner above made the room feel like a refrigerator. Qian Ye, who was wearing thin clothes, felt a little cold, but Quan Jinghua, who was sitting opposite him, seemed a little absent-minded.
"They said it should be 30 million. Three million is a donation. I will donate it to the orphanage where Nakajima-kun is. Two million is my reward. The rest is yours. You have questions about this. What?" Qian Ye asked.
Izumi Jinghua thought of the token that was taken away by the staff just now. The token was used to open the safe, and it was very likely that it would never return to her hands.
"I've seen it." Quan Jinghua answered the question, "My mother told me that this was something left for me. That night, I only had time to take away my mobile phone and never went back."
Mainly because she didn't know where the token was placed. And just a token is not enough. The couple did not tell it the function of this token before they were alive.
"This is not enough." Quan Jinghua raised her head and looked at Qian Ye. "Let me see them, and since it's your job, I'll pay whatever the price is."
After saying that, she added: "But if I find that you are lying, I will not let you go."
Her "not letting go" was a sentence of death for Amamiya Qianye.
Qian Ye noticed her clenched fists when she said these words. He didn't mind Quan Jinghua's threat. Because of this side job, he often heard similar questions and threats and was used to it.
It should be said that if the customer trusts him too simply, he will feel that something is wrong with him.
It is a heart-wrenching thing when someone important to you, a close relative or friend dies. If someone comes out and uses them to deceive your trust and fool their feelings, it is natural for them to be retaliated to death. Bar.
"Please don't be nervous." Qian Ye said, "If you want to see them, of course you can, but please agree first, my fees are not cheap."
"...As long as what you say is true, if 25 million is not enough, I will raise the remaining money as quickly as possible." Quan Jinghua thought that she could go to the president and others to borrow money and work harder. work reimbursement.
"One million yen." Qian Ye said.
Izumi Kyoka:?
Her body swayed slightly, and Qianye said before she spoke: "Let's make an agreement first. This treatment will only be given for the first time. If you need to summon again later, you will have to restore the original price. The price at that time will be comparable to It’s much more than one million. Oh, by the way, please don’t tell others about this price. If you tell others, there will be no second transaction.”
"...Why?" Quan Jinghua asked him.
"Why..." Qian Ye thought for a while, then smiled as if he was troubled, "Just think of this as a self-righteous adult's pity and sympathy for the child."
He said: "I have indeed seen some deceased people who still miss their children after death, and I have also seen children who are willing to pay high prices just to see their parents again... But what should I say? You have received a large inheritance, but It’s quite rare for a child to spend it all, or even take on an unknown amount of huge debt.”
Qian Ye's eyes fell to the side and in front, unable to tell what scene he was recalling at this time. "There are many parents who are willing to give everything for their children, but there are very few children who are willing to give everything for their parents. Human nature is like this. Once you see it more, you will feel... no matter how advanced human beings are, they are still just animals in nature. Reproduction and caring for the young are the instincts of living things. The selfless dedication of the elderly to the young is also an instinct evolved to continue the development of the race..."
"Mr. Qian Ye?"
Quan Jinghua's words interrupted Qian Ye's thoughts that were diverging to unknown directions. He suddenly woke up and realized that he had said some unnecessary words. He scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything. Because I've reached a bottleneck recently and it's always easy to think wildly."
"bottleneck?"
"Don't look at me like this, I can still be considered a novelist..." Qian Ye added, "A novelist who has never published a single novel is not even considered a moderate novelist."
Quan Jinghua nodded and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Maybe it's because I think... you are a person who can keep secrets. You won't tell others what I said, right?" Qian Ye looked into Quan Jinghua's eyes with gentle eyes.
Izumi Jinghua realized that the reason why this man said this was actually to appease herself. Just like the other person said, he had strong pity and sympathy for his own experience.
It's not like she hasn't encountered similar people. After her parents died three years ago, she began to wander. Before joining the port mafia, she was once taken in by a kind person.
After learning about her experience, some people expressed sympathy for her.
But... there is always an invisible line between people with superpowers and ordinary people. As a half-time superpower who couldn't control Yasha Baixue, after seeing Yasha Baixue, those people without exception withdrew their pity and turned it into fear and rejection.
She was like a dove that had lost its beacon, flying crookedly under the gray sky, looking for its own habitat. Before, she thought her habitat was the Port Mafia, but later she discovered that her habitat was an armed detective agency.
Atsushi Nakajima, who introduced her to the Armed Detective Agency, was her guide.
Quan Jinghua lowered her head, feeling guilty and not looking into Qian Ye's trusting eyes. Because she knew... there was a bug stuck in the cuff of her kimono.
The staff brought a safe and a bank card. The storage fee has to be paid every year, but the Izumi couple paid it twenty years in advance during their lifetime, so the 30 million yen in the card remained untouched, and five years of storage fees were refunded.
This money and the contents of this safe were deposited by Quan and his wife when Quan Jinghua was one year old. Just as the other party said, it was specially prepared for my daughter.
Even Mr. and Mrs. Quan, who had been involved in bloody battles for many years, probably never expected that they would die so early or at the same time.
Human beings are easy to yearn for beautiful things, and are full of imagination about a beautiful future. It may be because the arrival of their daughter makes them feel that they have touched the threshold of happiness, but they forget that accidents are always so caught off guard.
The safe cannot be taken out of the bank. There is a pink leather bag inside. Quan Jinghua touched some of it and guessed that it contained some information. She opened the zipper, revealing only a small opening, and saw something similar to a photo album.
Including the summoning fee, Quan Jinghua transferred 6 million yen to Qian Ye's card without blinking an eye. He hugged the leather bag tightly with both hands and stared at Qian Ye with a pair of big watery eyes.
Qian Ye looked away in embarrassment: "Um...please don't keep staring at me."
Quan Jinghua was confused: "Why?"
Qian Ye: "...because it's cute?"
"cute?"
"...Like a hungry little animal, it's hard to refuse." Although Qian Ye prefers potted plants to pets, the eyes of these small animals staring at him will make him a little...that... If you refuse, you will be haunted by an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
So the best thing to do is not to look at it.
"I understand." Quan Jinghua's eyes returned to their previous dull state. She used this trick to get the president to take her in, but now it seems that it doesn't work for everyone.
Qian Ye: "..."
You understand that nature is a good thing, but why do you feel like you've been swiped in the face by a heartless kitten's tail.
...You just gave up when you found out that you couldn't do it for free, right? It would be too soon to give up!
Quan Jinghua did not ask to see her parents now, but asked Qianye to take her back to the dormitory first.
Qian Ye was not surprised by this. What happened today was too much information for this child, and the contents of the bag also needed time to digest.
And...even if you miss him again, it is normal to feel timid when the time comes. It is estimated that Quan Jinghua still needs to do a lot of psychological construction.
They agreed to summon her the day after tomorrow, and that day happened to be Izumi Kyoka's holiday.
After recording the time in her work schedule, Qianye sent her back to the dormitory building and drove away without stopping.
Izumi Kyoka stood there holding her purse, waiting for the car to disappear around the corner. She heard approaching footsteps, and without looking back, she called out the other person's name: "Mr. Dazai."
Dazai: "Thank you for your hard work, Kyoka-chan."
Izumi Kyoka shook her head. She turned around and looked up at Dazai: "I don't think Mr. Qianye is a bad person." She took out the listening device from her sleeves, gave it back to Dazai, and trotted back to her with her head lowered. The dormitory where I live with Atsushi Nakajima.
Dazai looked at the bug lying in his palm, thoughtfully.
Dazai is not surprised by Izumi Kyoka's judgment. As a person who has experienced it personally, Quan Jinghua has her own feelings.
but……
Dazai slowly clenched his fist and tightened the listening device in his hand.
——As expected, it is too difficult to trust a human being.
He exhaled a long breath, looked around, and suddenly discovered... that the tree in the yard had quietly grown into a lush, tall and tall tree without him knowing it.
——At first glance, it looks like a good place to hang yourself!
