Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

That kid Long exposed their identities so quickly.

But this is good, it saves him a lot of trouble.

Shiraishi Osamu had already figured out how to deal with this situation.

If they simply say they're from the Navy, Shaki probably can't do anything to them.

Shaki frowned and said, "I don't want to get involved in your navy's affairs. If you want to know the whereabouts of Shiki, you should ask someone else."

“That won’t do. I know you must know the whereabouts of the Golden Lion,” Shiraishi Xiu said.

Judging from Shaki's tone of voice, you could tell that she knew the whereabouts of the Golden Lion.

Shiraishi Xiu didn't want to give up on this matter, so he could only ask Xia Qi.

“I don’t want to tell you,” Shakky said.

If Shiraishi Shu wasn't a Marine, Shaki might consider telling him about Shiki's whereabouts. (553)

But after learning that Shiraishi Osamu was a Marine, let's just forget about it.

She had no interest in getting involved with the navy.

"Then how can you tell me the whereabouts of the Golden Lion?" Shiraishi Xiu asked Xia Qi.

She knew the whereabouts of the Golden Lion but didn't speak up, probably because Shiraishi Xiu hadn't given her enough benefits.

Shiraishi Osamu believed that as long as the benefits offered were sufficient, Shaki would definitely tell him about the Golden Lion.

"Ten million Berries."

Without blinking, Shaki said to Shiraishi Xiu, "Give me ten million, and I'll tell you where the Golden Lion is."

Anyway, the person in front of me is a major general, so he must have a lot of money on him.

Chapter 0064: Guilty Heart

心虚

Shakky would be willing to tell Shiki the whereabouts of the Golden Lion if Shiraishi was willing to give him ten million Berries.

Shiraishi Xiu smiled after hearing Xia Qi's words.

So Shaki just wanted money? If he had said so earlier, things wouldn't have been so complicated.

“Okay, I agree,” Shiraishi Xiu said.

"I'll talk about it after I see the money," Xia Qi said to Bai Shixiu.

Ten million Berries is no small sum, and Shaki was a little suspicious that Shiraishi agreed so easily.

Is he really able to afford that much money?

Moreover, Shiraishi Shu didn't bring anything with him, so how did he come up with ten million Berries?

“My money is on the ship,” Shiraishi Osamu said. “Even if I don’t have that much cash, I can use other valuables to pay off the debt.”

"I do not believe."

Xia Qi still didn't believe it and said to Bai Shixiu, "Pay me first, then we'll talk. My rule here is that you exchange money for information."

“You still don’t trust Major General Shiraishi Osamu? He doesn’t need your money at all. You should tell us about this first.” Long said to Xia Qi.

Long Du felt a headache coming on about this matter.

She relayed the message directly to Shiraishi Osamu, so they could leave.

I feel suffocated talking nonsense here.

"Pay me first, then we'll talk," Xia Qi said.

In any case, all Shaki cares about is money.

She didn't care about anything else at all.

"You woman..."

Shiraishi Xiu instantly felt a headache coming on. Judging from Shaki's expression, he clearly knew the whereabouts of the Golden Lion.

However, she needed to see the money before she could tell Shiraishi Osamu the news.

But where would Shiraishi Osamu get ten million? He just made that promise on a whim.

"You don't actually have the money, do you?"

Seeing that Shiraishi Xiu hadn't taken out the money yet, Xia Qi asked suspiciously.

This put Shiraishi Xiu in an awkward position, but after a moment's thought, he said to Xia Qi, "As you know, I am a rear admiral in the Navy. I guarantee in my own name that I will definitely give you this money. If I don't, you can go to Navy Headquarters and ask for it!"

After hearing what Shiraishi Xiu said, Xia Qi thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Navy personnel generally care a lot about their reputation, and since Shiraishi Osamu has said so, Shaki has no reason to doubt it.

“Okay, I’ll trust you this once,” Xia Qi said.

"The Golden Lion is not far from here, healing his wounds. His exact location is..."

Shaki quietly told Shiraishi Xiu the location of the Golden Lion.

Shiraishi Osamu became more and more satisfied as he listened. Sure enough, Shaki knew the location of the Golden Lion.

If this location is correct, then Shiraishi Osamu will definitely be able to find the Golden Lion.

Once the Golden Lion is captured, Shiraishi Xiu can continue to claim credit.

"Okay, I understand, thank you." Shiraishi Xiu said to Xia Qi.

"Um, what about the money? When will you pay me?" Xia Qi asked Bai Shixiu.

"Well... let's talk about this after I find the Golden Lion," Shiraishi Osamu said guiltily.

"No! Take whatever you can now, and give me an IOU for the rest."

"An IOU, how do you write that?" Shiraishi Xiu asked.

"Just write that you need to gather ten million Berries for me within three days," Shakky said.

Shiraishi Xiu shrugged and asked Long, "How much money do you have on you right now?"

"I didn't bring any money!" Long said, scratching his ear.

"(Li Lihao) Xia Qi said."

“Me too,” Shiraishi Xiu said.

It seemed that neither of them had brought any money with them when they came out. Long had some money on him, but he forgot to bring it in his haste.

Chapter 0065: Bringing it to you

Xia Qi overheard Shiraishi Xiu and Long's conversation and immediately felt like she had been tricked.

These two people in front of me have no money at all, yet they promised ten million Berries!

"What exactly do you mean?!"

Xia Qi roared at Bai Shixiu.

“I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to say that I could give you an IOU, but right now I don’t have a single penny to give you,” Shiraishi Xiu said.

"You bastard!"

After realizing that Shiraishi Xiu was playing a trick on him, Shaki said to Shiraishi Xiu, "Don't you believe I'll report this to your Navy Headquarters?"

"I believe you, of course I believe you," Shiraishi Xiu said. "But I really don't have any money right now. If you don't believe me, ask him. 557"

Bai Shixiu was referring to Long, but now Long and Bai Shixiu are on the same side, so of course Long would speak up for Bai Shixiu.

Long also said to Xia Qi, "Our Major General Bai Shixiu won't be short of your money, but we can't do anything about it right now that we don't have any."

What Long meant was, they're broke right now, let's see what Shaki can do to them.

He knew the whereabouts of the Golden Lion, but didn't want to tell them, saying he would only tell them after they paid him.

Given Long's personality, he was unwilling to pay this money, nor did he want Shiraishi to pay it.

"Are you trying to renege on your promise?" Xia Qi asked Bai Shixiu.

"That's roughly what I mean," Shiraishi Xiu said. "If it doesn't work out, I'll just owe you for now and send it to you when I have the money later."

If Bai Shixiu isn't willing to give them a single penny now, how could he possibly give them money later?

Anyway, Xia Qi didn't trust Bai Shixiu anymore and said to Bai Shixiu, "I want to see the money now!"

"There's nothing we can do about it, I can't come up with it right now anyway," Shiraishi Xiu said.

He's broke now, let's see what Shaki can do to him.

Xia Qi was truly at a loss with Shiraishi Xiu this time. Seeing Shiraishi Xiu's stubborn and unyielding attitude, he seemed like a rogue.

"No, you have to give me an explanation right now," Xia Qi said.

“What can I say to you? Why don’t you go to our Navy Headquarters and talk to our Fleet Admiral about this?” Shiraishi Osamu said.

After hearing what Shiraishi Xiu said, Xia Qi became even more furious.

She knew perfectly well how far it was from the Navy Headquarters, so how could she possibly go to the Navy Headquarters?

And even if Shaki went, how could she explain this to the people at Navy Headquarters?

If I told them I told them where the Golden Lion was, would they give me ten million Berries in return?

She felt that the navy might also deny responsibility, and she probably wouldn't be able to get the money back.

But that's just Shaki's personality. If you discuss this matter with her properly, she might feel that everything is still negotiable.

But things had escalated to this point, and Xia Qi felt that there was no way to negotiate anymore.

"You still expect me to come up with the money within three days? I think that's impossible," Shiraishi Xiu continued to say to Xia Qi.

On this matter, Shiraishi Osamu no longer wanted to say anything more.

Shiraishi Osamu definitely won't give me that money.

If Shiraishi Xiu really gave the money to Shaki, he felt that things would become meaningless.

"So you mean you're not going to pay anything, not even a single penny?" Xia Qi asked Bai Shixiu.

"That's roughly the idea," Shiraishi Osamu said with a dry laugh.
