Special Effects: I, the greedy one, become a god through desire

Chapter 343 Zenkuji Sumiko!

Philip of Fuuto Detective "How about this, why don't you let me be Shotaro Jin?" Philip suggested with a smile.

Shotaro almost sat up when he heard this.

But in the end, he failed and could only barely raise his head and look at him with a puzzled look.

"Philip, what do you mean?" Asuka was a little confused.

"It's just about swapping our usual tasks. Shotaro will be the armchair detective, and I'll be the one who goes out for action. This is quite in line with the...cold and hard... school!" Philip said, imitating Shotaro's usual tone of voice and exaggerated movements.

"That's a good idea! Maybe if Philip were to take over, the case would be easier." Yashuzi nodded seriously.

"Stop talking... nonsense!" Shotaro protested on the bed, looking a little panicked.

Everyone also found it funny.

"Ding dong!"

At this time, the doorbell of the office rang. Asuka trotted over to open the door, and was shocked to see several burly men in black standing outside.

But when she thought of the two Kamen Riders and a super big BOSS behind her, her confidence suddenly came back.

She put her hands on her hips and asked, "Who are you? Are you the bad guys who are here to seize the land?"

The bodyguards were also confused by her expression changing three times in a second.

Just as those people were about to step into the room, a calm female voice stopped them.

"Everyone wait outside. It's enough for the young lady and I to go in!"

The owner of the voice seemed to be of high status, and several strong men went out obediently.

A woman in her fifties walked in.

From her attire, one can tell at a glance that she must be a servant of some prominent family, and her identity is probably the maid of the "lady" behind her.

"Excuse me." She bowed. "I came to your house because I have an important matter that I would like to ask your firm to help me solve."

"Oh, I see. Come in then." Yashuzi suddenly realized and invited the two in.

Shotaro was not feeling well, so Philip, as his partner, naturally had to welcome the client on his behalf.

The so called young lady was very pretty.

The facial features are as straight and beautiful as a statue.

Her outfit was not particularly luxurious or fashionable, she just paired small accessories with a simple white dress.

However, her whole body seemed to be permeated with a certain radiance from the inside out, making her look particularly beautiful and charming.

Her appearance was dignified and harmonious, except for her eyes, which were extremely aggressive and were looking Philip up and down.

Philip also lost his judgment for a moment after looking at her.

But he quickly recovered and tried to explain to the other party that the detective from his own firm was on sick leave.

"How disappointing!" But the other party's words made him frown.

"Excuse me, this lady..." Philip glanced at the waitress.

"Zenkongji Sumiko." The waitress understood what he meant and introduced.

"Ms. Chankongji, what do you mean by that?"

"I heard that the founder of this firm, the well-known detective (referring to the uncle), is not here at the moment."

"But I heard that he has an outstanding young successor, so I decided to come here. But I didn't expect that this successor would be a weak child. Frankly speaking, I don't think this place can complete my commission."

She said with a hint of contempt.

Mavis also understood.

It seems that he mistook Philip for Shotaro.

Seeing his partner being humiliated, Shotaro struggled to sit up from the bed, but was pushed back by Mavis. "It would be counterproductive if you stood up in such a sickly state, and you are usually unreliable... Forget it, just leave it to Philip." Mavis patted his shoulder and said.

Shotaro rolled his eyes to the sky when he heard that.

"Ah, come to think of it, someone did call and said he wanted to find my dad and make a request. But when I told her that Shotaro was in charge of the relevant matters now, the other party hung up. Could it be you?" Asuko suddenly thought of something.

The waitress nodded. It was she who had made the call.

On the other side, Philip's face looked a little unhappy when he heard these impolite words, but he quickly found a way to deal with it.

He raised his hand and made a "please" gesture. He said, "In that case, please leave. Anyway, your business doesn't look very important. I think you can find a better employer."

"What do you mean?" Zenkongji Sumiko's face changed.

"You are able to hire so many strong bodyguards, which shows that you have both financial resources and connections. There is no other reason why such a person would knock on the door of the Minghai Detective Agency, except that he encountered a case that cannot be solved by ordinary strength."

Philip said confidently.

In addition to dealing with incidents involving doped bodies, the Minghai Office also does things like finding cats and dogs.

It's impossible that the other party came to your house in such a threatening manner just because he couldn't find the cat, right?

Do you think you are Sonosaki Ryubei?

"It is very impolite to judge my value by my appearance. So now it is not a question of whether you want us to complete the commission for you, but whether we are willing to accept your commission!" Philip said lightly.

"But if you apologize for your rudeness now, I am not opposed to listening to your so-called request. If you don't want to, please turn around and leave. Oh, remember to close the door."

He sat back on the sofa and looked indifferently at the master and servant in front of him.

But his mind was not at peace at all.

"Oh my god, Philip, it's so handsome? I've taken a picture and I'll show it to Wakana and Saeko when the time comes." Mavis' teasing words were heard.

"Stop it, brother. You can't be weak now." Philip's expression almost couldn't be tightened.

"It's really interesting. This is the first time I see you like this."

Zenkongji Sumiko was also shocked by Philip's sudden counterattack, and her face showed hesitation.

Finally, after thinking about it, she looked directly into Philip's eyes, and finally bent down at an imperceptible angle.

"I see. I don't think there is anything particularly rude about my opinion. You look like a child, and your behavior doesn't seem to be steady and generous at all..."

"But from what you just said, I can still tell that your knowledge and insight are indeed extraordinary. So I will just apologize to you for not realizing this before."

"That's a very unique apology. But never mind, I'll just forgive you. What's the commission?" Philip saw her lower her head and stopped being aggressive.

It’s not that I have completely forgiven the other person. After all, it’s basically hard to win their favor if you treat them with such an arrogant attitude when you first meet them.

He was just curious about what kind of commission could make such a young lady come in person.

……

"Hey, Xiao Yashu, come here for a moment."

While the two were discussing what happened, Mavis pulled the director to sit next to her and whispered something in her ear.

"What~? Will it really get to that point? I've never heard of such a thing! And she looks so arrogant..." Asuko almost screamed, but Mavis quickly covered her mouth.

Several people who were discussing the case were also attracted by the noise and turned around to take a look.

"I just don't know. Just think of me as someone who can predict the future. If you see any signs, just give him a hand. That kid is just standing there in a daze. Don't let him get away!"

"I see. I understand." Yashuzi nodded with shining eyes.

"Then my brother's future happiness will be left to you?" Mavis said with a smile.

"Understood, sir. I promise to complete the mission!" Akiko saluted the chief of Fuuto Detective Station in a funny way (her name is actually Zenkuji Kasumi, but it's the same name as Manjo's wife, so she changed it a little. No picture, you can imagine it yourself)
