Shuangye stared at the man in front of her for a long time, and the other party still met Shuangye's gaze without evasiveness. When the four eyes met, the timeline seemed to be infinitely delayed into a long eternity.

I don't know how long it took, Shuangye suddenly thought that she had figured something out, and pressed down on Dazai's finger that she secretly thought was making small movements that she didn't notice.

"I understand--"

I saw Shuang Ye staring at the black-haired young man solemnly, and stated in a tone like solving a case: "Do you want me to pay for your wine?"

It's no wonder she came to such a conclusion, it's because Shuangye's vigilance is too strong, and she has a psychological shadow after being cheated of money by a man.

Hearing this, Dazai, who didn't expect that he would flirt with a girl and overturn his car, subconsciously let out a questioning particle: "...Eh?"

The two stared at each other for a long while before Dazai suddenly let out a 'poof'.

He smiled from the bottom of his heart, and this kind of smile made the face of this pale and thin black-haired young man a bit more youthful and childish.

"I'm serious."

Dazai said so helplessly, then took out a card from the inner pocket of his suit, pressed it with his fingertips, put it on the table and moved it in front of her, "So you should be able to believe it?"

What appeared in front of Shuangye was a black and gold high-end credit card. She picked up the black card to observe, and the surface of the card immediately flowed with a special texture under the light.

Doesn't look like a fake.

"I want all the wine on the display rack behind you tonight." Dazai crossed his fingers and propped his chin, and said to her with a smile, "It's yours."

She couldn't imagine the happiness of a rich man at all. After hearing this, Shuang Ye's face collapsed, and she reminded him seriously: "Do you know how much these wines cost?"

"I know." Dazai didn't have the slightest psychological burden on this. He clearly showed his identity as a rich man, and raised his eyebrows here to signal her reassurance: "Don't worry, I can afford it. If it's not enough, I can pay it from someone of mine." deducted from the wages of a subordinate."

Shuangye: "...that subordinate of yours is really difficult."

Having said that, Shuangye snapped her fingers, and called another waiter to swipe the card quickly.The black gold card draws a string of amounts on the POS machine, and the results indicating that the transfer is successful also indicate without exception that what the man in front of her said is true——

He is really rich.

This time, Shuang Ye's attitude changed instantly, and she gave the black-haired young man a high look.At the same time, my heart is also aching - because of the one hundred million I lost because I didn't get it in the hospital.

The more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he became, and this mentality was naturally reflected in Shuangye's expression.She couldn't help but looked at Dazai blankly, and asked tentatively, "It looks like you're doing a good job, right?"

As she said that, her eyes wandered quietly on the other party's clothes for a while.

"Hmm..." Dazai put his index finger against his lips, as if thinking about a reply.After a while, he carefully raised his eyes to look at Shuangye, and replied jokingly: "Probably...an employee of a port trading company or something."

Shuang Ye glanced at him indifferently when she heard the words, and didn't express any opinion about it.

At this moment, Dazai's black coat suddenly rang a bell, causing the smile he was currently wearing to gradually fade from the corners of his lips.

"Sorry, take a call."

He took out his mobile phone, looked down at the number displayed on the screen, and pressed the answer button on the spot, regardless of Shuang Ye's existence: "It's me."

Dazai listened quietly to the report on the other end of the phone the whole time. Just by looking at his calm expression, he couldn't read whether the information coming from the feedback was good or bad.At the end, he said in a deep voice, "Wait for me to deal with it when I go back", then hung up the phone and turned to look at Shuangye.

His eyes were full of emotions she couldn't understand.

Shuang Ye seemed to be aware of his intentions, and while she was working as a bartender on the inside of the bar, she was the first to ask, "Are you leaving?"

"Hmm." Dazai made a simple nasal sound, then got up from the bar chair, and the empty and slender black coat fell behind him by the way.

Shuangye had no reason to stop the guest from leaving, let alone a man whose name he didn't even know.

But before Dazai turned to leave, he suddenly turned his head to look at her, then leaned over the bar, and brought his lips to the ears of the bartender lady inside.

"I lied to you just now." He said, "I'm a mafia."

The breath she exhaled was on the side of Shuangye's ear, but her expression was not shaken at all, she just turned her head to look at the dangerous man who said these words to herself.

"Why are you telling me this?"

The slender young man in a black coat slightly lowered his brows and eyes, and a illusory and hazy smile like a May butterfly appeared on his lips.

"Probably because...【Compared to the person who is deceived, the person who deceives others is tens of times more painful.】"

"And I've suffered enough."

……

The strange black-haired young man who made Shimeba inexplicably sad never appeared in the bar again, as if the memory fragments drifting past in his mind about that night were just a figment of imagination.

Shuangye didn't care about this either, regardless of whether that person was a mafia or a rich second-generation clerk, the purpose of her coming to work in Lupin was for another target.

In the past few days, she has been busy calmly coping with the work in the bar. In addition, she will visit Odasaku in the infirmary of the detective agency during the day. There are still some strong medicinal properties in his body, and he will return to him soon. Need to sleep and rest for a while.

So Shimoba lived a life of going to an armed detective agency during the day, working part-time in a coffee shop in the afternoon, and working in a bar at night.

Although the work schedule is tight and busy, she feels that her life is rarely leisurely.And this freedom is undoubtedly based on the premise that her ex-boyfriend and the people and tasks in the organization no longer harass her.

The omnipotent Shuangye has excellent craftsmanship, and soon gained a foothold in the bar, winning the appreciation of the boss.The boss deliberated for a while, and then decided that the row of the main bar facing the stairs would be her exclusive position. She was usually in charge of mixing drinks for the guests in the store, and the waiters would deliver them to the guests' table in person.

After a few days of hard work on the sidelines, she finally saw the face shown in the intelligence document in the bar.

"Miss Ogiwara, table 4 said to order a glass of 'Pretty in Pink'... I ask you to deliver it." The waiter came to Shimoba with a tray, and whispered in her ear with a very embarrassed expression.

Shuang Ye couldn't help but followed his words and looked in the direction of that table. At the end of the field of vision, sitting at table No. 4 was a man in a red suit with a swollen face and several valuable gold rings on his five fingers.

Seeing her eyes locked on him, the man couldn't help but raised his glass to signal her, and at the same time showed a greasy smile that he thought he was handsome.

Before she could do anything, the other party came to the door first.

It seems that his personality is indeed as bad as shown in the information, and he does not forget to indulge in sensuality and lust everywhere while doing shady deeds.

But the cocktail of 'Pretty in Pink' is not only bright red and beautiful, but also fragrant. In the end, it depends on whether the person who drinks this drink is happy to drink it.

Facing this kind of man who took the initiative to kill, Shuang Ye slowly evoked a polite and fake smile in that direction.

"Okay, let me go."

At two o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night, in a remote dark alley somewhere in Yokohama, the painful wailing of a man being mercilessly beaten could be heard quietly.

It’s not far from Lupin’s bar, it’s located at the end of the alleyway, the terrain is narrow and remote, and the debris is piled up everywhere, no passerby will pass by here at all.

The man who tacitly followed Frostleaf after the bar closed was now covered in bruises, and several transparent rectangular spaces nailed him to the ground like spears of judgment. Dirty dust, crumpled up like a rag.

The man's bruised nose and swollen facial features did not show any trace of handsomeness at all.

His limbs and joints were artificially removed, and he fell weakly on the concrete floor. In order to survive, he could only beg for mercy with a terrified expression: "Please let me go—otherwise the people behind me will never let go." Pass yours!"

And the object of his begging for mercy and threatening, at this time, was leisurely leaning against the wall one meter away with his slender legs crossed.

She had already taken off the restrictive bartender uniform, and changed back to her own white windbreaker, which was casually worn on her shoulders.Faced with the threat of the man's sternness, Shuang Ye just casually lit a cigarette, and then lightly exhaled a puff of smoke from her lips.

"The person who met you at the bar tonight is actually an overseas mercenary—where have you sold all the valuable goods that you stole from the Hong Kong gangsters in collusion with the mercenary group? Or in other words... About the book inside You should be able to tell me the whereabouts of [Book]?"

What Shuangye was referring to was naturally the scene he had just met in the bar.

After serving the man a cocktail and coping with his teasing perfunctorily, the man finally welcomed his partner in the store.

Even though he was well-dressed, the inadvertently exposed details, such as the huge size of the other party and the way his hand would hang down where it was easiest to pick up the gun when walking, were exactly the same as the rude mercenaries in Shuangye's memory.

The man was suppressed on the ground in embarrassment. He didn't expect to show a surprised expression after hearing this sentence, and then gradually turned into anger of being betrayed.

"You, how do you know, obviously this matter is well kept secret... I know, did that guy Oda betray me?! He told me that Lupine is the most secret that will never be discovered of the trading place—"

Shuang Ye was not interested in his suspicious rebuttal, so she raised her fingertips slightly, and the divided space wrapped around the man's index finger in an instant and rotated, forcibly breaking the joint of that finger.

The man let out a scream immediately.

"answer my question."

The street lights couldn't shine into this dim alleyway at all, and in the entire cramped world, only the end of the cigarette held by her fingertips and the flickering fire guided everything.

"I, I said..." The man who was tortured trembled and broke out in cold sweat, "You want that book, right? I've already sold it to an old man who wrote a book—"

Shuang Ye couldn't help raising her hand thoughtfully when she heard the words, the man thought she was going to silence her, and immediately added in a panic: "No! Please don't kill me first! After I told that old man, there will be more The good ones will be sold to him, and I can help you get the books back—”

"When and where will your next transaction be?"

"At 8 o'clock tomorrow night, at the back door of the old factory next to the fork in the road near Guoyao Temple!"

Shuang Ye was satisfied with getting the information she wanted.She glanced at the man on the ground, then extinguished the cigarette in her hand, and took a step closer to him.

"One last question for you, Tsushima—what is your purpose for leaving such a message in the forum?"

Shuangye thought that men would be recruited truthfully after being beaten like this, but she didn't expect that the other party's reaction was different from what she imagined.

"Tsushima? What Tsushima? I'm Horii!"

The man named Horii but with the face of 'Tsushima' cried bitterly: "What do you have to do with Horii and Tsushima?!"

Shuangye: "...?"

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.
