Two-face detectives Chapter 2 "Start"

"To gather these three people in one place at the specified date and time. That's the test." .

Nachino said so while spreading three photos on his desk, and began to tell Nishiko the details.

"Let's start with the woman on the left. This is Yumi Kuhara. Last year, I received a request to get her to withdraw from sugar dating. So I punished her, but lately, she seems to be doing the same thing again. Someone wants me to punish her again, so I don't know if it's a parent or a teacher, but I'm receiving a request."

Nishiko puts her hand on her chin and listens intently to the details.

“The woman in the middle is completely innocent. Her name is Saki Suzumori, but she has a lot of perverted fans. I’ve received a request and its reward amount is huge, but I'm completely reluctant just because of the reason. I thought it was an insurance policy in case the management of the office got really bad, but it was incidental. Put it together.”

“And the woman on the right is a hostess named Yoko Matsui. A few months ago, there was an embezzlement incident at the store, so I've been ordered to take some kind of joint responsibility. It's just the right opportunity, so kidnap her this time.

After the explanation was finished, Nishiko asked some questions.

"I understand. How much information do you have about things like their current whereabouts and living schedule?"

Quickly, Nachino replied.

“The only thing I know is where they are now. Basically, I ordered the detailed investigation beyond that to Seijiro-san.”

"Okay. Then, please tell me the information about their residence later. By the way, regarding Ms. Matsui, if there is such a situation, I think she will come to the place without much trouble. For example, if you can't call out directly, can't you ask someone who has a connection with her to do so?"

Nachino replied, "Yes."

"--As for the latter two, I’ll do a background check and then work out a plan. I may ask for cooperation only when I can't help it, but basically I'll do it by myself."

Nishiko said so,and picked up a photo of the three of them and stood up from the sofa.

"Well, I'll show you the results in a month... no, in two weeks. I can't let my grandfather's name be tarnished. We'll be contacting you on the dedicated number you gave me earlier, and we'll be in touch."

After Nishiko said that, she slowly left the office. Once again, Nachino was alone in the office.

―Even after Nishiko disappeared, Nachino remained sitting on the sofa for a while. Then, slowly, she took a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. He slowly inhales the smoke and exhales it into the air.

"She’s Seijiro-san's granddaughter…"

For a while, Nachino continued to watch as the smoke danced up toward the ceiling and eventually disappeared.
