I'm Not a Detective

Qingjian Liuli was troubled all the way home, shouted "I'm back" at the entrance, kicked off her round-toe leather shoes, ran back to her room without even changing her slippers, and started rummaging through the cabinets, even the piggy bank she had used when she was a child. I found them all and smashed them up. In the end, a pile of coins and a few banknotes made up about 4,000 yen.

Her family conditions are good, but Mom Qingjian Xiangzi manages the household well and teaches her daughter well. She doesn't have much pocket money for a little girl, and she doesn't have the habit of saving. She is basically the goddess of moonlight, and she can find things in the room. She had so much loose money thanks to her informality and often throwing it away.

Four thousand yen is far from enough. It only covers about 10% of the debt. Where can I find the remaining 90%?

Do you really want to be called "liar Liuli classmate" or "deadbeat Liuli" for three years?

Qingmi Ruri began to think about his old books, old comics, trinkets and toys again, and considered selling these things as second-hand goods. He didn't know how much they could sell for, but how to transport these things was another problem.

If my mother finds out, I will definitely ask questions, and most likely I can't hide it. Not only will I not be able to solve the debt problem, but I might even be punished by my mother again.

Otherwise, just say that the school has to pay tuition fees and get some money from my mother to help with emergencies?

No, that would really make you a "liar Liuli", and you absolutely cannot do such a thing! You still have to be upright as a person so that you can look anyone in the eye.

How to pay back the money?

That big bastard who deserves to be burned in the fire of hell for a thousand years actually asked a girl for a debt. He has no grace at all. It's really annoying!

Qingjian Liuli was depressed and beat up Takeshi Nanabahara with her pillow. She stayed up until dinner time and came up with an idea that was not an idea. At this point, she could only spend money and ask her mother to advance half a year's pocket money. Leave it to that bastard.

Of course, this matter can't be forgotten like this. After paying off the money, I will break up with him, then hide in the dark, observe him all the time, and give him a fatal blow when I find the opportunity. I must also trick him once, otherwise there will be something wrong. I can’t stand this bad breath!

Yes, just do it!

Qingjian Liuli finally thought of a solution that was not a solution. Like a house slave who was about to pay off the thirty-year mortgage, or the most miserable group of house slaves who took over the high-level house in Japan in the 1990s, he felt that most of the pressure in his heart suddenly dissipated, and the air became more intense. It feels fresh, the energy-saving lamps are brighter, and even life is transcendent.

Now all that's left is to take care of mom!

She was not impatient and patiently ate dinner and waited for her unlucky sister to watch TV. Then she sneaked into the kitchen and found her mother peeling peanuts while reading a recipe.

She quickly stepped forward, put on the cutest smile in her life on her little face, and said sweetly: "Mom, are you peeling peanuts? It's really hard, I'm here to help you." As her mother said, when you ask for help, Behave better, be sweeter, and now you can apply what you have learned.

Well, her learning ability has always been very strong.

Qingmi Xiangzi glanced at her and said thoughtfully: "Are you in trouble at school again?" The wise daughter Mo Ruomu usually does some housework. This daughter either makes a lot of excuses or runs faster than a rabbit. How is it possible? Suddenly changed your temper?

"No, I just want to help!" Qingjian Liuli was speechless. What does "again" mean? Mom, what image do I have in your mind? But she didn't dare to complain, after all, she was begging for help at the moment!

"Didn't you get into trouble?" Qingmi Xiangzi felt the same way. She had only been in high school for a few days, so she didn't get into trouble so quickly. She probably hadn't even called her parents yet.

She thought for a while and asked, "Do you have something to ask mom?"

Qing Jian Liuli hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was of little use to do all those fancy things to her mother, so it was better to just go ahead and rub her directly, and said in a tired voice: "Mom, there is something wrong, um... can I advance some pocket money? , It doesn’t need to be too much, just half a year in advance.”

"No." Qingmi Xiangzi answered decisively without hesitation.

"Huh?" Qingjian Liuli said dissatisfied, "You just said you can't do it without asking why?"

"If you can't, you can't." Qingmi Xiangzi is a full-time housewife with an account book, and the pocket money given to her daughters has exceeded the social average. She does not want her daughter to develop the bad habit of spending money lavishly from an early age - 90 At the beginning of the 1990s, the average monthly pocket money for high school students in Tokyo was only 4,126 yen. She gave each of her two daughters 6,000 yen per month, which was enough. In theory, it was completely sufficient. How could she agree to an advance?

Qingjian Liuli said anxiously: "But I really don't have enough pocket money now..."

"If you don't have enough, learn to spend less, learn to buy only necessities, and learn to be moderate." Qingmi Xiangzi did not give in. "How to use money effectively is also a required lesson in life."

"Just this once, okay?" Qingjian Liuli started to act coquettishly and rubbed her mother hard, "I'm sorry, mom, please give me six months' pocket money in advance. If you can't give it five months, you can do it."

"If you say no, you can't."

"Think again, Mom, I'm really short of money, please help me. Am I not your most beloved biological daughter?" In order to tide over the difficulties, Qing Jian Liuli temporarily lost her face and started acting coquettishly + moving. Out of love, she rubbed herself against my mother as hard as I could.

Well, it's better to suffer some damage to your image in front of your mother than to be called "Liar Liuli" by that bastard Takeshi Nanahara every day.

"The most beloved biological daughter? I didn't expect that you would find out after all..." Qing Jian Xiangzi's hand peeling the peanuts trembled, and she was stunned for a moment. She sighed softly, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes. Her acting skills were very good, and she left. He was only one step away from getting the title of "Rare Famous Talent". He said softly, "It was a snowy night. I had just arrived in Hirano with your father from Xiongshou Mountain. Passing by a dark alley, I suddenly heard something inside the trash can. There is movement..."

Qingjian Liuli was stunned when she heard this. She reacted after a moment and said in disbelief: "Mom, is this necessary? This is outrageous. I just want to advance pocket money. You can't turn me into a pick-up if you don't agree. ah!"

"Then you still want to advance?" Qingmi Xiangzi stopped "reminiscing" and asked.

Qingjian Liuli said angrily: "If I don't support it anymore, you will kick me out of the house!"

Seeing that her daughter was honest, Qing Jianxiangzi let her go and smiled gently, "What nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible? When your father went over and took a look, there was just a dog inside..."

The pocket money advance almost turned into adoption. Qing Jian Liuli was so angry that her heart ached, and she pouted and said: "It's really too much. Then I can't advance pocket money. Can I add two thousand yen per month? No, add one thousand five hundred yen." Just yen!"

If you can't pay off the debt at once, then it's acceptable to increase your pocket money. You can go back and discuss it with that bastard to see if you can repay it in installments, and at most he'll be charged a little more interest.

You've already said it's no use, but you still dare to pester me about pocket money? Don’t you really want to spend time at home?

This idiot daughter is so old, but she still can't see the good or bad at all, and has no eyesight. Qing Jian Xiangzi's gentle look disappeared instantly, and she said calmly: "Don't worry, what happened back then is not finished yet, your dad If you look closely, the dog has you in its mouth."

…………

Qingmi Liuli and her mother worked hard for most of the night but failed to earn a single yen. Not only did they also create the Qingmi family's family tree, they became adopted daughters. They almost couldn't control themselves and wanted to run away from home on the spot.

Of course, she didn't dare to run away from home. Her mother was not a good person. When she was her age, she was the dominant figure in Xiongshou Mountain. She could only give up in frustration and got up the next day with a depressed look, lost and lost. After finishing breakfast, he numbly put on his coat, put on his leather shoes, picked up his schoolbag and went out, ready to accept Takeshi Nanabahara's ridicule.

If he becomes a deadbeat, that bastard with no integrity and grace will definitely laugh at him. You can guess this with your buttocks.

The two of them went out at about the same time this time. Not long after, Qingmi Liuli saw Takeshi Nanabahara at the door of the convenience store. She was quite responsible. She didn't pretend not to see him and hid, but looked at him expressionlessly, waiting for him to collect debt—— There is no way, there is no way to avoid it, you will have to face it sooner or later, it is better to die early than to die late.

"Good morning, see you classmate Qing." Takeshi Nanahara first greeted him with a smile, as if nothing was wrong.

Qingjian Liuli took out more than four thousand yen, put on a hidden fox face, and said expressionlessly: "Pay back this much first." Anyway, she tried hard, but she couldn't get the money, so she could only pay in installments.

If Takeshi Nanahara had an opinion, she would say so. If he insisted on disagreeing, she would argue loudly with him.

Anyway, she is determined not to be a "liar Liuli", this is related to her personal dignity.

Takeshi Nanahara looked at the large handful of scattered banknotes and coins, his expression was very gentle, and motioned for her to go with him. As he walked, he asked softly: "Why, can't you get so much money at the moment?"

His attitude was beyond Qingjian Liuli's expectations. She expected him to laugh crazily and yell that she didn't keep her words, refused to pay back the money she owed, and was a big liar.

She couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, hesitated for a moment, followed Takeshi Nanahara and said honestly: "I can't take out that much at the moment, but don't worry, I won't default on the debt, and I will pay it back to you slowly with my pocket money. , but it may take a little longer, and you can add a little more interest.”

Takeshi Nanahara asked with concern: "Let's not mention the interest. I gave you all the pocket money. What should you do? It will be very inconvenient at ordinary times, right?"

"You forced me to pay back the money!" Qingjian Liuli felt extremely wronged. She didn't want to pay back the money like this. As a result, she couldn't even afford a bottle of drink and couldn't go out with friends. But there was nothing she could do.

Takeshi Nanahara hesitated: "Although you really should pay me back, we are friends. If you don't even have any money on you, I would feel uncomfortable."

Hey, why does your kid suddenly look like a human again?

Did you take the wrong medicine today?

Qingjian Liuli was shocked. She felt that Takeshi Nanahara was considerate for some reason, and she was a little touched. She said embarrassedly: "But I did promise to pay you, and the money should be paid back. I understand this, and I will not evade my responsibilities." You don't have to worry about me defaulting on my debt - I'm very happy that you can allow me to repay the loan in installments, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and decided to call her Zanghu from now on. She was indeed a fool.

He said seriously: "No, as your friend, I can't accept it. We should find a win-win solution."

"A win-win solution?" Qingjian Liuli asked curiously, "What solution?"

"If you can't come up with money for the time being, you can pay off your debts in other ways. You don't have to make yourself so embarrassed!" Takeshi Nanahara suggested actively and started filling the hole with soil - it would be best if she took the initiative, but she was very stupid. Unexpectedly, he can only say it.

Pay off debt in other ways?

Qingjian Liuli thought for a moment, then suddenly her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously grabbed her collar and asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?" If Takeshi Nanahara dares to make any request with a human face and a beast heart, don't blame her for breaking off his front teeth on the spot!

Taking a look at her expression, Takeshi Nanahara knew that she was thinking wrongly, and said angrily: "What good things are you thinking about? I'm not that kind of person! I mean, you can work for me to pay off my debt!"

That’s what it meant, it shocked me!

Qing Jian Liuli relaxed and thought about it, and felt that this was a good idea! If you ask Takeshi Nanahara questions and ask him to take you to solve the case, you should pay him, and then you can work for him, which will offset it, which is fair.

She immediately said happily: "I think it's okay, what do you need me to do?"

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said: "You should still be my assistant, and the hourly salary is 50 yen. In this way, as long as you work for me for 800 hours, we will be settled."

"800 hours?" Qingjian Liuli is not completely stupid. If a day is calculated as two or three hours, doesn't it take a year? She was very dissatisfied and said, "How come you pay 500 yen an hour and it becomes 50 yen when it comes to me?"

"Because people's abilities are different. My abilities are better than yours, so I'm worth a high price."

"No, at least it must be calculated according to the legal minimum hourly wage."

"That's impossible. The legal minimum hourly wage in Hokkaido this year is 712 yen. You didn't follow the law when you hired me before. You don't have to think about it now." Takeshi Nanahara said, "But I will give in and give you 60 yen per hour. Yen."

"No, 490 yen!"

"70 yen, I can't give in anymore!"

"If I don't do it, I can't be worth only one-seventh of your value!"

Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Qingmi went to school together, and they had a fierce bargaining on the way. In the end, Takeshi Nanahara refused to let go until she was given "100 yen". If the price increased again, he asked her to pay back the money immediately.

Qingjian Liuli hesitated for a while, even though she was unwilling to do so, she felt that she had no choice but to accept it.

The hourly wage is so cheap that even capitalists will cry when they see it. But I have participated in several cases and experienced happiness that I have never experienced before. I am already very profitable, so I should pay a little extra, just for this kid. Three to four hundred hours of work is nothing. As a high school student, what trouble can he have?

At least you don’t have to worry about how to make money. If you don’t lose, you will win. If you win, you will win!

She agreed and said in a very good mood: "Okay, we are friends. You have helped me before, so I should help you. I agree to be your assistant. The salary does not matter, as long as it can offset the debt." ."

Takeshi Nanahara stretched out his hand and high-fived her to express the deal, and said with a smile: "Then it's a pleasure to cooperate."

The word assistant, sometimes written as assistant, is pronounced as slave.
