The kitchen in the Nanahara family was brightly lit, and the faucet sang a song as it flowed. Kiyomi Ruri, wearing a large apron, unconsciously washed the dishes. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a second reason and gave up directly. She turned her head and asked, "I can't think of it. What other reasons are there?"

Nanahara Takeshi smiled slightly, "Do you want to buy a Q&A service?"

Are you kidding me?

Kiyomi Ruri raised her wet and foamy hand in disbelief, unable to control her soul's questioning. "I am your assistant now, and I have been working hard for you. You still want to charge me for asking you questions. Do you still have any humanity left?"

If she had a driver's license, she would go find a muddy truck now, crash into Nanahara Takeshi and kill him. If the speed was lower than 220, it wouldn't be surprising if she wasn't human.

"Just kidding, why are you so anxious!" Nanahara Takeshi said with a smile. He admired her expression on her face and found it amusing. It added some interesting elements to his difficult life of time travel. But he was indeed joking and had no plans to take advantage of her for now.

Currently, she owed about 400 hours of debt, and with two or three months of hard work, she could pay it off. With her honest and trustworthy personality, she would definitely work honestly and diligently. However, if the debt increased, for example, if it increased to a point where it would be difficult to pay off in seven or eight months or even one or two years, then it would be uncertain. She would most likely give up on herself, threaten him to exempt her from the debt by choking his neck, or even jump into a well together.

Therefore, everything needed to be done in moderation and not rushed. He had to abstain from being "greedy" in his line of work. If he caught a fat lamb and took advantage of it as he pleased, it would definitely lead to a big problem. It wouldn't be surprising if he lost his life one day.

Of course, there was no need to worry about her running away after paying off her debt. With her impulsive and curious nature, she would definitely dig her own grave, jump into it, and bury it herself. He just needed to stand aside and watch, without needing to do anything.

With the wool preserved, Kiyomi Ruri's mood improved slightly. She didn't put on a fake smile and immediately asked, "Besides the fact that the police can't solve the case, what are the other two reasons?"

Nanahara Takeshi smiled and hinted, "The mishandling of the Odacho public referendum case would definitely give the prosecution and police a headache, but it's not a big deal. They can just drag it out. What's terrifying is that the reporters catch wind of it and make the matter bigger. The prosecution and police will definitely be cautious and try to act like nothing happened. The people involved in the Odacho case will also voluntarily keep quiet to avoid ruining the situation. So, who else is left?"

Kiyomi Ruri suddenly realized, "So the police want to come to us, commission us, and make us half of their own people, to make sure we keep our mouths shut and not go around showing off?"

"Yes, if this case can be solved, it's good for the police station. They were planning to hire people anyway. If it can't be solved, the commission fee is like a 'gag fee' and compensation for their hard work. They won't ask for it back. It's an unspoken agreement." Nanahara Takeshi finished with a smile, touching the hidden pocket in his clothes, preparing to increase the food budget later. He didn't need to say it directly. He discovered that he wasn't an ignorant high school student, so there was no need to say more. And he indeed wouldn't go around shouting, and he could also control Kiyomi Ruri's mouth.

Now, he was controlling her mouth, reminding her to be careful and cautious, even though she had a good nature and wouldn't intentionally harm others by revealing information.

Kiyomi Ruri listened in a daze, feeling that the adult world was so complicated. She thought the police were just simple fools who came to find helpers, but she didn't expect there to be such intentions behind it.

These guys, they didn't do their job well, but they were good at these cunning and worldly matters. Their reactions were extraordinary. Most likely, they had just decided to drag out the case and immediately came to seal it off. Could it be that the Japanese police organization was already completely bureaucratized, just as the news said?

The difference between the real world and detective novels was huge. She had to be more careful and not accidentally harm others. When she went back, she would black out those pages...

She thought for a while in her mind, and her confidence in the Japanese police decreased. She didn't expect them to be so cunning and not at all passionate. They were all sly foxes...

While washing the dishes, she thought to herself. The real world was indeed very different. The Japanese police had many hidden thoughts and were not hot-blooded at all. They were all slippery.

She could hear that Nanahara Takeshi was just trying to deceive her, wanting her to help him with the housework. But it didn't matter. Some of the things he said were right. This was indeed a good learning opportunity and a bright future. She could follow him, slowly learn his skills, and then...

Hmph, at that time, she would overthrow him. Kick him down, become the boss herself, and make him serve as Nanahara Watson.

This guy was too arrogant. How dare he underestimate me? Did he really think I was a big fool?

I'm not that simple. Even with the same tricks, they won't work on me a second time!

Yes, that's right. Let's do it like this. First, be a good assistant on the surface, serve him well, so that he can't find any faults. In reality, slowly learn his skills, and when I have learned everything, find an opportunity to seek higher positions.

At that time, I will also deceive him and make him shine my shoes, cook, and wash dishes. If he dares to be unhappy, I will scold him to death!

The kitchen work was almost done, and it was getting late. If she stayed here any longer, Kiyomi Kako would start to suspect and might ask her to leave soon. "Alright, you've finished your work for today. You can go home."

Kiyomi Ruri snapped back to reality and wiped her hands with the apron in surprise. "Don't we discuss the case?"

"There's no need. The police haven't found anything, so we have to rely on ourselves." Nanahara Takeshi could handle the case himself, and there was no need for her to meddle. But he couldn't say it directly and pointed to the brown paper bag from earlier with a smile. "Take it home and read it slowly."

She could also study it herself. Kiyomi Ruri took off her apron, picked up the brown paper bag, and left with a determined spirit.

She could tell that Nanahara Takeshi was just trying to convince her to help him with the household chores, but it didn't matter. Some of the things he said were right. This was indeed a good learning opportunity and a bright future. She could follow him, slowly learn his skills, and then...

Hmph, at that time, she would overthrow him. Kick him down, become the boss herself, and make him serve as Nanahara Watson.
