[Master K] The bad one next door

Ikebukuro, Tokyo. 71st Street.

A doctor in a white coat and a tall brunette walked out of the gate of the headquarters of the Li Nan Society.After walking across the road, the two stopped.The woman turned around first, and stretched out her hand to the doctor: "Thank you very much this time, Dr. Kishitani."

A commercial smile appeared on the doctor's delicate face.He held the woman's hand and replied calmly: "No, Miss Qi Mu, please don't be so polite, this is my job."

"You are too polite, Dr. Kishitani, your superb medical skills are impressive—" The woman curled her red lips, and raised a bright smile towards the blond man who followed silently and had a very different appearance, "You say so, Mr. 'Fujiwara'?"

……

The time in the upper left corner of the video is fixed at "11:23AM".

Maki closed the laptop with a "snap" and let out a soft breath: "This is the surveillance on July 7."

No one answered for a while in the spacious female dormitory.The other three present were silent for a while, and Qiqi turned their eyes to Yazawa Maya who was sitting upright in front of the coffee table and watching them quietly.

Hirobe said uncertainly, "That blond hair... seems to be Kota Fujiwara?"

"Yes." Maya nodded, pointed to the brown-haired woman on the screen, and said softly, "This woman's name is Qi Mulisa, and that white coat is a secret doctor from Ikebukuro."

"Wait, Lisa Qimu?" Zhui Tian frowned, "Isn't that the current boss of Qiuben Group?"

"Huh? Does May know her?"

"Ah, she is very famous in Zhenmu in the past two years, but you may not know about it when you go to Ikebukuro, Mami." Zhui Tian explained, "You should know the tall Qiuben Building in Zhenmu Commercial Street, right? That is The location of the Qiuben Group, and after the previous chairman Yusuke Qiumoto abdicated, Saiki, his niece, took over the Qiuben Group and became the new chairman."

Miya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Is she that powerful?"

"I don't know how good it is. After all, I'm not in that industry. It's you, Mami. It's strange that you have heard of Saiki but don't know that she is the chairman of the Qiuben Group."

Hearing this, Mami couldn't help but fell silent.

She didn't know how to respond to her friend's question.

Fortunately, Zhui Tian didn't intend to pursue it, and quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why did Qi Mu Lisa get involved with Fujiwara? And there are things like secret medicine mixed in..."

Shinya came back to his senses for a while, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "I am also very concerned about this point—my guess is that Fujiwara's escape from plastic surgery has something to do with her."

Kaida and Hirobe were stunned.

"...Hey, isn't it, these days a company boss can become the mastermind behind the scenes, and the water in the town is too deep."

After being dumb for a while, Hirobe couldn't help but make a half-joking noise, but no one could laugh in this situation.Chaita looked at Miya seriously: "Maki, are you sure? If Saiki is really Fujiwara's accomplice, we must tell the teacher about it, but if she did not do such a thing, our charges will be Caused a lot of trouble—do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand what you mean." Zhenya nodded, sat up straight, and showed a serious expression, "I know that the best choice for us in this situation is to ignore her, but this surveillance video is not fake, since it is true Yes, then Fujiwara must be inseparable from Saiki. If she is left alone, a more serious situation may develop—”

——Having said that.

In fact, a small part of wanting to intervene in Qi Mu's affairs is out of her selfishness.

Since I saw this video yesterday, a question has been stuck in my heart, and now it has become a thorn in my heart that cannot be pulled out.

——That is: if Qi Mulisa is doing this kind of business, will Dad be implicated?

"--and many more."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted her explanation coldly.

The one who spoke was Izumi Liang who had been silent since the very beginning.

The young man in a white coat raised his head, looked straight at her with deep black eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Since Fujiwara's case is over, what does Qi Mulisa have to do with us?"

The indifferent speech made the three present feel a little stunned for a moment.

Mami was a little overwhelmed for a moment.She pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to meet the other's creepy gaze: "I... care very much."

"..."

"However, having said that, if you don't want to do it, I won't force you. After all, it's just my own wish." Maki took a deep breath, showing firm eyes, "For some reasons, I have to I didn't get involved in this matter, but I didn't want to involve everyone... I am very sorry if I caused trouble to everyone."

After finishing speaking, she bowed deeply.

There was silence in the dormitory.After finally reacting, Zhui Tian stood up anxiously: "What are you talking about, we are a small team, how could I let you do this kind of thing alone! Hey Quanliang, what do you say? Bar?"

"...?" Izumi, who was suddenly named, was taken aback for a moment, dazed for a moment, and had to nod silently under the stare of the short-haired girl.

"Eh, eh? But, but there's really no need to force yourself..."

Seeing this, Mami also panicked.Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Hirobe couldn't help sighing heavily, and knocked on the table with his knuckles to attract everyone's attention: "Yazawa-chan, calm down first, this matter has nothing to do with We're not unrelated."

"……what?"

"If...that woman is called Qi Mu, right? If she is really Fujiwara's accomplice and has the ability to ask a secret doctor to help him with plastic surgery and provide him with a hiding place that cannot be discovered, those of us who are arrested There will be no good end for the guy from Fujiwara."

Not only Maki, but the others were also stunned.

Just now everyone has been arguing over the choice of "intervene" and "not intervene", but ignored this most critical issue.Only Hirobe, who is usually the most unreliable at first glance, can clearly see the situation they are facing.

"Besides, instead of worrying about whether Ms. Qi Mu is behind the scenes, it is better to investigate first and then weigh the issue of 'intervene' and 'not intervene' - anyway, we will be free after the mid-term exam." Hirobe said Then, he glanced at Mami, "Speaking of Yazawa-chan, have you figured out where we are going to start?"

"Eh?" Maya, who was stunned for a while, suddenly heard his name, and hurriedly raised his head, "Look, ask the students from the detective department and the intelligence department...?"

"...So you haven't thought about it at all?"

"……sorry."

Seeing the black-haired girl lowering her head in aggrieved manner like a small animal, Hirobe couldn't help but want to pat her on the head in a good mood, but was forced to withdraw his hand by the warning eyes of Oita: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Well, I thought of a way."

"Huh?" Mami, who was completely unaware of what happened just now, raised her head in surprise.Hirobe turned his head to look at Zhui Tian who was still staring at him displeasedly: "Student Zhui Tian, ​​you just said that Qi Mu is the boss of Qiuben Group, right?"

"Ah, what's the problem?"

"I heard that there will be activities at the Qiuben Building recently." Hirobe raised an index finger and shook it in front of him, with a consistent smile on his face, "Let's take advantage of that day to go to the Qiuben Building— 'Sneak in and search'."

<<<<<<

At the same moment, Barbara Bar.

As soon as Misaki Hatta pushed open the door of the bar, she heard noisy voices coming from inside.Seeing a group of people bustling around the bar, he was a little puzzled: "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Hatta, it's just in time." Akagi stuck his head out in the middle of the crowd and waved vigorously at him, "Come here quickly! I'll show you something!"

"Huh? What is so mysterious..."

Hatta muttered inexplicably, put down his skateboard and walked towards the opposite side.When he squeezed his way through the crowd, he found that everyone was discussing in full swing around Chicheng's computer.

"You can actually get two places, Chicheng, you are really lucky!"

"I heard that the video of the event will be broadcast exclusively on station n? Hahaha, I must see how you look when the time comes!"

"You guys..." The good-tempered Chicheng smiled wryly and shook his head, as if he had nothing to do with them.Hatta was stunned when he heard that: "Huh? What quota?"

Everyone turned their heads.As always, Chitose was smoking a cigarette, and said casually: "This weekend, Qiuben Building will hold a checkpoint event. Last time Chicheng bought a product from that company, and it turned out that two contestants were selected in the lottery—well, Qiuben Building, as you know, is the one you blew up last time."

Hatta: "..." His memory is not so bad that he can't even remember this kind of thing clearly, okay? !

But he was also aroused interest: "Oh, really? So who are you going with, Chicheng?"

The young man wearing the peaked cap suddenly showed a embarrassed expression: "Originally, he was looking for Xiaosan...but he had to go back to his hometown to visit his grandmother that day, so he couldn't go."

"Little San" is Bando Santaro, which is Akagi Shohei's nickname for him.The two have been friends since childhood. Although Bando was extremely resistant to this title when he first joined the Barbara in Chicheng, he had to get used to it later.

So habit is a terrible thing.

Seeing Akagi's expression, Hatta understood everything: "...Isn't that the weekend? None of you are free?"

Chitose shrugged: "Unfortunately, I had an appointment with a girl that day, and I probably won't be back for a whole day."

In this case, saying such words to stimulate single dogs will undoubtedly attract hatred.Bando punched him on the shoulder enviously and jealously, making him stagger, then turned his head and explained to Hatta: "Brother Kusanagi wants to visit the store, and Anna and Brother Shishu can't go. Kamamoto was called by Xiaobu Going to the concert, Brother Zun is not interested in such things at all... In short, everyone can't go for various reasons."

"—So Hatta, are you free that day?"

"Me?" Hatta thought for a while, then nodded, "I don't have anything else to do, so I'll go with you."

"Really?!" Akagi's eyes became brighter, he opened the webpage excitedly, and pulled Hatta over, "Then let's take a look at the event details! Ah, the rules are——"

<<<<<<

Someday a long time ago.

"—'rules' means 'no rules', just try to live."

The faint sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkles on the floor of the office.The brunette woman was sitting upright behind the desk, looking at the flushed face on the computer screen leisurely and contentedly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "I say so, you should understand to a certain extent, right?"

"Qimulisa, you are simply crazy!" The bald old man on the screen slapped the table hard and made a deafening sound, "The committee will never agree to this kind of thing! Do you really know what you are doing?!"

Even after being scolded severely, the curvature of Qi Mu's mouth remained unchanged.

"Of course I know."

"Then you still-"

"I know that this will expose myself, but it is precisely because of this that I made this decision." Qi Mu interrupted him, sat up straight, and picked up the teacup beside him, "Mr. The experimental products around are far from enough - their quality is too uneven, without any screening, so there are so many failed products."

"But you are making too much noise! ​​Now that the Zhenmu Qingzu and Chizu are booming, are you doing this to destroy the achievements of the entire Qiuben Building?!"

"What my company produces is for this day, not just for display. Even if it is destroyed, it has fulfilled its due responsibilities, and is worthy of the life it was developed in."

The old man in the video was rendered speechless by her sharp words.

"...Anyway, that's what happened. Mr. Heiyuan, I'm not applying to you, but I'm just reporting to you out of necessity, that's all. See you later, then."

After finishing his speech, Qi Mu ignored the furious shout of "Wait, Qi Mu!" coming from the computer, and simply turned off the video call.

The old man's voice was interrupted.

There was silence in the office.The soft sunlight revealed a sense of peace, as if the dispute just now had never happened.Qi Mu closed his eyes and took a sip of the cold tea.

……

——The fate of the city of Zhenmu began to deflect at this point, stretching in an unknown direction.

The boy and girl in the whirlpool don't know about it at all.
