Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 350. Akiba Reiko's Dinner Party!

"Is someone following you?" Kitahara Natsumi asked knowingly. "Did you call the police?"

The two walked into the apartment building together and were waiting for the elevator on the first floor.

After entering the apartment building, Akiba Reiko finally felt relieved.

After all, she moved in because of the building's security; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to move.

However, what Akiba Reiko didn't know was that although the apartment building's security seemed impressive, it was actually riddled with loopholes.

After all, Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend had infiltrated the area from outside and was planning to kill her.

If it weren't for Kitahara Natsuhiro, Okino Yoko would probably have been reincarnated by now.

However, Yoko Okino has been too busy and hasn't been able to come back to stay much lately, which is a pity!
"Call the police?" Akiba Reiko shook her head: "It's useless. There's no evidence that someone is following me. The police won't handle these kinds of things."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and said, "That's true, but I know Inspector Megure from the Criminal Investigation Department. Maybe he can help."

He knew that someone was following Akiba Reiko, and he also knew who was following her, but he hadn't seen any of this and couldn't say it outright.

Even if you tell them, they might not believe you.

After all, this person has many connections with Akiba Reiko.

"Inspector Megure from the Criminal Investigation Department?" Reiko Akiba paused for a moment after hearing the name. "Is he the chubby detective who's always on the news, wearing an orange suit?"

It must be said that Inspector Megure's image is really very vivid; once you've seen him a few times, it's hard to forget him.

Sure enough, Akiba Reiko also knows what Inspector Megure looks like.

“Yes, that’s him. I’ve known him for a long time, like an older brother. I can ask him for help,” Kitahara Natsuyu said.

Inspector Megure was indeed his older brother, since Inspector Megure always called him Kitahara-nii (brother Kitahara) when they met.

Inspector Megure is a Devil Fruit user, my brother!

"Is it okay? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?" Akiba Reiko hesitated.

If she had someone she knew in the Metropolitan Police Department, it might be possible, but she was also a little worried, since it was a favor to ask someone to do it.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. After all, you really were being followed, even though there’s no evidence,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “Let me ask around for you first.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Kitahara.” Akiba Reiko bowed slightly.

Kitahara Natsuyu waved his hand: "It's nothing. After all, we're neighbors, and neighbors should help each other."

Ding Dong
At that moment, the elevator arrived at the first floor, and the doors opened.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Akiba Reiko went inside, and at that moment he took out his phone and dialed Inspector Megure's number.

Toot toot.
After ringing for a few seconds, the call was answered.

"Hey Kitahara, it's been a long time since we last talked." Inspector Megure sat on the sofa, watching TV while enjoying the fruit his wife was feeding him.

Inspector Megure's wife is named Midori Megure. Midori met Inspector Megure when she was still in high school, and she even became bait for the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, this bait was taken voluntarily by Midori Megure.

But in the end, both of them were injured, and Inspector Megure was wearing a hat because he had a wound on his head.

In the end, Inspector Megure won the heart of his beloved, and the two eventually got married.

Although they didn't have children after getting married, they lived a very happy life and were considered a model couple in the Metropolitan Police Department.

“Yes, Inspector Megure.” Kitahara Natsuyu smiled, but at the same time, he heard a strange sound and was startled for a moment before realizing what was happening: “Inspector Megure, is there someone else with you?”

He heard other sounds over the phone, such as soft breathing and chewing.

All of this proves that there were other people around Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure paused for a moment after hearing this, then turned to his wife, who was dressed in casual clothes, and coughed lightly twice: "Ah, I was just watching TV, nothing."

Although Megure is his wife, he couldn't tell outsiders that his wife was feeding him, so he could only say that he was watching TV.

Upon hearing this, Megure covered his mouth and laughed, then opened his mouth and uttered a few silent words: "We're an old married couple, what are you still shy about?"

Inspector Megure understood what he meant and couldn't help but blush.

There was nothing he could do; after all, he was still on the phone.

After teasing her husband, Megure got up and left the living room, leaving it to him to talk.

Inspector Megure was satisfied with his wife.

After all, with such a gentle and considerate wife, what more could he possibly want?

After Midori left, Inspector Megure finally spoke up, "Brother Kitahara, is there something you need?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro calling at this time definitely means he doesn't come without a reason.

But that's normal. If there's nothing wrong, why would I call him late at night?

Young people these days really want to enjoy their own nightlife.

Even he himself is living his own nightlife.

“There is indeed something I need Inspector Megure’s help with.” Kitahara Natsuhiro said frankly, “A friend of mine feels like someone is following him, so I would like to ask you to investigate.”

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure said, "Following? There's no evidence, so no case was filed, right?"

Because there is no evidence, even if someone is caught stalking, they can only say a few words, which is meaningless and will only embolden the stalker.

“Yes, that’s it.” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “My friend has already moved once because of this, and now that he’s moved here, he’s being followed again.”

"So I'd like to trouble Inspector Megure to investigate this."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, no problem, I'll have someone investigate."

"But you still need to tell me about your friend's personality and some other information."

“Okay.” Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at Akiba Reiko beside him.

Akiba Reiko nodded after meeting Kitahara Natsuhiro's gaze.

Immediately afterward, Kitahara Natsuhiro informed Inspector Megure of Akiba Reiko's information.

Upon learning that Kitahara Natsuhiro's neighbor was Akiba Reiko, he immediately stood up from the sofa and exclaimed, "Your neighbor is Akiba Reiko, the soprano's family?!"

Reiko Akiba is quite famous in Japan; she is a regular performer at any major concert.

It must be said that Reiko Akiba is quite talented; otherwise, she wouldn't have received invitations to various concerts.

Furthermore, Domoto Gakuin has recently been preparing for its own concert, and the position of soprano is also being considered for Akiba Reiko.

“Yes, it’s Akiba Reiko, the soprano.” Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, “It seems you know Inspector Megure too.”

“How could I not know that?” Inspector Megure said, “My wife is a big fan of Reiko Akiba, and she goes to all her concerts, although tickets are very hard to get.”

At that moment, Akiba Reiko picked up her phone, typed in a few words, and showed them to Xia Yu.

I can give you tickets to Inspector Megure's concert.

She heard everything Inspector Megure said.

After all, there were only the two of them in the elevator, so it would be hard not to hear. However, asking for favors always comes at a price, and concert tickets were far too easy for her.

She always has a few spots available for each concert, which she can bring along her family and friends.

However, she is a rather cold and aloof person with few friends, so all her talents are wasted.

Since Inspector Megure's wife enjoys going to concerts, there's no harm in giving her a few tickets.

Anyway, she's just getting the organizers' money for free.

Xia Yu nodded: "Inspector Megure, I can get tickets to Akiba Reiko's concert."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure immediately became excited: "Brother Kitahara, leave this to me. I will definitely find out who is following Ms. Akiba Reiko."

Since Kitahara Natsuyu has said so, he has no choice but to help.

After all, he had already explained the benefits, and the investigation and surveillance were just things he did incidentally.

This posed no difficulty for them.

Just like how Akiba Reiko could easily get concert tickets.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Inspector Megure. I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Okay, that's settled."

Kitahara Natsuhiro exchanged a few more pleasantries with Inspector Megure before hanging up the phone.

At this moment, the two of them had already come out of the elevator and were on their respective staircases.

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Natsuhiro put away his phone and looked at Akiba Reiko beside him: "Ms. Akiba, the matter has been settled."

"Inspector Megure will have someone investigate who is following you."

Upon hearing this, Akiba Reiko bowed slightly to Kitahara Natsuyu and said, "Thank you so much."

"If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done."

In the original story, Akiba Reiko was also followed and ambushed.

The purpose was to prevent Akiba Reiko from participating in the Domoto Concert.

But now, the person who was following Akiba Reiko has arrived earlier than expected, so something else must have happened!

This led to the change in the plot.

However, Akiba Reiko is not without options. If she uses her influence to pressure the Metropolitan Police Department, the department will be forced to open an investigation.

But Akiba Reiko is not that kind of person, which is why she turned out this way.

The person following them seemed to know this, which is why they continued to follow them without restraint.

Unfortunately, Kitahara Natsuhiro is not one to follow the rules.

Since you're following me, I'll send someone specifically to deal with you.

The Metropolitan Police Department is quite professional, isn't it?!

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the person who was following Akiba Reiko will definitely be found; it's just a matter of time.

As for what happened next, that was easy to handle.

"Don't say that," Kitahara Natsuyu said. "We're neighbors, so if I ever need your help in the future, please don't refuse."

Upon hearing this, Akiba Reiko smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I'll definitely help you when the time comes, as long as you don't mind."

"how could be."

As they talked, the two arrived at their respective doorsteps.

Just as Kitahara Natsuyu entered, Akiba Reiko spoke again, "By the way, Mr. Kitahara, when do you have time? I'd like to invite you to dinner, is that alright?"

This is to express my gratitude to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Upon hearing the invitation to dinner, Kitahara Natsuyu naturally wouldn't refuse: "Of course, you know I'm a PE teacher, I don't have many classes, I have plenty of free time."

"That's good," said Akiba Reiko. "But what kind of food do you like?"

Japanese cuisine? Western food?

Kitahara Natsuyu hesitated for a few seconds: "Anything is fine. Actually, I'm not a picky eater, as long as I don't have to eat green peppers."

"Green bell pepper?" Akiba Reiko paused for a moment, then realized what she meant and covered her mouth with a laugh. "Is it because green bell peppers are bitter?"

"Yes, I can't stand the smell."

"Alright, then there definitely won't be any dishes with green peppers." Akiba Reiko said, "I'll go back and pick some out first, and I'll let you know when I've chosen."

"If there's anything you'd like to eat, you can tell me so I can prepare accordingly."

“Okay.” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “It’s getting late, you should get some rest.”

"Okay, you too."

After saying goodnight to each other, they each opened their own doors and went inside.

Bang!
As Akiba Reiko closed the door, she leaned against the doorway, stroking her chin, and asked, "So, what should we invite Kitahara-san to eat?"

"This is really a headache."

After all, deciding what to eat has always been a difficult question.

However, thanks to Kitahara Natsuyu, she had one less worry, so it's okay to be troubled!

Moreover, she was also curious to know who was following her.
Are you in the same industry?

It's understandable that she's envied because she frequently performs at major concerts.

After all, there are only so many seats; if she goes, no one else can go.

Therefore, many people are jealous of her, and if someone is following her, the most likely culprits are her colleagues.

After all, competitors are rivals!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." Akiba Reiko shook her head: "As long as Inspector Megure finds the person who's been following me, I'll know who it is."

"Making wild guesses now will only drain your mental energy."

Afterwards, Akiba Reiko went to the bathroom to take a bath.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro also began to take a bath.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Akiba Reiko's neighbor, Judy Starling, was sitting in the living room, playing with a pen and scribbling on a piece of paper.

"Lately, Amuro Tooru seems to be making a lot of moves."

"Is it because of the organization?"

"I wonder how Xiu's investigation is going? I haven't seen Xiu in a long time, and I wonder how he is doing now," Judy sighed.

They haven't seen each other since their last meeting, and have only kept in touch by phone.

She sensed that Xiu was hiding something from her!
