Persona: Devil Summoner

Chapter 469: Cheating Investigation

Detective, this job can probably compete with the public for the title of "the most familiar unfamiliar profession".

The reason why we say it is familiar is that the detective profession has become well-known to everyone through the derivative works of various literary and artistic works.

The reason why we say it is unfamiliar is that most people are paying attention to the twists and turns and thrilling plots in literary works, but as for what the detective profession actually does before a murder occurs, people do not have a particularly deep understanding of it.

So, what is the main job of a detective? After all, murder cases, from a practical point of view, are basically the scope of the police's work. Moreover, even if you really want to ask a detective, it is difficult to find so many murder cases except for the works of Gosho Aoyama.

In reality, the most common commissioned work for detectives is... infidelity investigation.

Bai Zhongzhidou was staying in her low-rent apartment at this time, staring at a stack of photos in her hand. This was the result of her work during this period.

Moreover, the results are very gratifying.

The man in the photo had close relationships with different women (even a funny art guy) on multiple occasions, which clearly went beyond ordinary friendship.

If his wife files for divorce on the grounds that her husband cheated on her, then the photo in Bai Zhongzhidou's hand will definitely be a fatal blow. At that time, I'm afraid the man will have to leave the house with nothing.

However, there are three issues involved now...

The first is that the man is not actually married.

The premise of cheating is that the person must first have a spouse in the legal process. It feels like if you want to run away from an accident, you must first have a car. Without a car, the most you can do is hit and run.

Even if you don't end up getting married, even if you are boyfriend and girlfriend, in this case, cheating can only be criticized at the [moral] level, and it is difficult to confirm it as cheating in the [judicial process].

Secondly, no one actually commissioned Naoto to conduct any cheating investigation. Since no one asked him to investigate, his investigation was not in compliance with the rules and was not legal. Such evidence would not be accepted in the judicial process.

Yes, the law is a serious matter.

The third thing...that is, this man is none other than his assistant, Jiang Tianwei - this man, he, he must be just a blockhead, it is impossible for him to be really unfaithful!

"Should I be happy? I have obtained a lot of evidence of cheating, but I can't be happy at all."

Baek Jong Naoto threw the file bag full of photos on the table a little disappointedly, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the old and faded ceiling with a bit of depression.

Among Jiang Tianwei's intimate interactive characters, there are gentle and considerate teachers, gentle and lovely junior schoolmates, heroic and valiant senior schoolmates, graceful doctors, a shogi player who has recently been in trouble, a ghost girl who has just regained her body, and even other gangster ladies who are well-matched with him and a famous detective who solved a cheating case but is sulking alone.

Judging from the intelligence she had just collected, even if Jiang Tianwei was not a playboy, he was definitely a man who had picked countless flowers in the flower garden. However, Bai Zhongzhidou was still subconsciously trying to exonerate him, insisting in her heart that "he had no problems with the legal system", as if she was not a detective but a lawyer.

"Kokoko, isn't that a good thing? This just proves that the person you admire is a hero who is capable of attracting many beautiful women."

Suddenly, another woman's voice was heard in the empty room, and the tone was as gentle as the cry of a lark, but the face that made the voice had no beauty at all. It was a cold skull, with red silk sand scattered on the skull and fine gold ornaments decorated on it, with an exotic style from Central Asia and Persia.

Without a doubt, Baekjong Naoto only knew one demon who could display both beauty and terror at the same time. That was the Great Woman of Babylon.

She had cleverly deduced from clues that there was a demon around Jiang Tianwei, and used a somewhat dangerous method to force her to show up in front of her.

Finally, she successfully used her rhetoric to establish three rules with the Big Woman of Babylon, ordering her not to interfere with Jiang Tianwei's life.

However, here, facing the contract with the demons, Jiang Tianwei sneered. Although he was grateful to Zhidou for helping him solve this big problem, he firmly believed that the words of these demons could not be trusted. Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. Every failure makes you wiser!

As for the Babylonian woman's own thoughts, of course she was prepared to play some dirty tricks, but there are many kinds of dirty tricks, and directly tearing up the contract would be too unaesthetic. She did make three rules with Zhidou, agreeing not to interfere with Jiang Tianwei, but... this agreement did not include a stipulation that she should not harass Bai Zhongzhidou, right? .

But, could the great Detective Baek Jong not have expected this?

"Do you know why I didn't tell you not to harass me? It's because no matter when you come, I'm sure I can refute you."

Bai Zhongzhidou glanced at her coldly with a bad tone. When people are in a bad mood, their attitude will be bad, especially now that Bai Zhongzhidou is looking at the beauties surrounding Jiang Tianwei, his mood is even worse.

Based on the conclusions she had drawn from studying love through watching so many movies and TV shows, she was not in love with the little assistant, but why did she feel so anxious?

Bai Zhongzhidou's eyes were cold and full of hostility. The big woman of Babylon was neither anxious nor shouting. She just used a teasing tone and deliberately dragged out the sound and said: "First of all, your anxious mood has nothing to do with me."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Baek Jong Nak Dou and gently pressed her beautiful fingers on Baek Jong Nak Dou's chest. Just as she was about to tease him, there was a thud, and Baek Jong Nak Dou shot her hand without hesitation!

The Babylonian woman had no reaction at all, and her fair palm was opened into a bloody hole by this brutal modern technological weapon. However, for the demon, such a small cut was not even considered an injury, but just an attitude expressed by Bai Zhongzhidou.

"Haha, you're so cute. You can judge everything with reason and logic, but you don't know that love is the only thing that doesn't require reason and logic."

Bai Zhong Zhidou did not comment and even looked away from her.

Facing this kind of devil's temptation, the best way is to ignore it. Bai Zhongzhidou knew this very well. But the wind does not stop when the tree wants to be quiet. Bai Zhongzhidou wanted to stop the topic, but the big woman of Babylon knew very well: if she was not shaken in her heart and afraid of being persuaded, she would definitely not take this attitude.

The Big Woman of Babylon knew herself very well: in terms of combat power, she was indeed among the top demons, but it was impossible for her to deal with a monster like Jiang Tianwei.

Rather, it has been impossible to defeat him since he defeated the Matador and the Hell's Angels. Even if he cannot win, he can rely on his extraordinary nerve reaction ability and top-notch speed to play kite and wait until the end, when the enemy's magic power or physical strength is exhausted, he will go up and fight in close combat.

Therefore, if you want to defeat Jiang Tianwei, you can't do it by force. The only one who can possibly defeat him now is the ultimate demon who stands above all the demons.

And don't forget that the Babylonian woman has no interest in his body. She just wants to get Jiang Tianwei's soul. For this reason, her purpose is different from other demons from the beginning. She just needs to seduce Jiang Tianwei's soul to fall.

As of now, the results are very encouraging.

Reproduction is an inevitable instinct for any living thing, and the love that results from it is a sweet trap that countless people flock to.

Regardless of whether there is this demon himself or not, Jiang Tianwei will be deeply trapped in love and will have countless emotional entanglements. Now, the Big Woman of Babylon is just adding fuel to the flames.

She hid her figure and watched Bai Zhong Naoto frowning as he looked at the photo on the table. She held a special seat ticket for Kujikawa Risa's concert in her hand and looked at it over and over again.

Seeing this, the great woman of Babylon kept laughing in her heart: (It’s almost there, it’s almost there. This little girl who claims to be rational, when her lust overwhelms her rationality, she will become a beast of desire who can’t control her emotions. By then, everything will be a natural outcome - you think you are calm? Haha, love doesn’t talk to you logically. You haven’t noticed yet, from the moment you tried your best to deny the chaotic relationships between men and women around him, it means that you have fallen hopelessly in love with him... hehe... when the love net around him is spread, then it will be my victory...)

She thought so happily as she looked at Bai Zhongzhidou's distressed expression.

But Bai Zhongzhidou was thinking about other things in his mind...

(No matter what, he is my assistant, and he is also half of the retainer of the Baizhong family. I can't just watch him go further and further down the wrong path... Yes, this is definitely not out of bored jealousy, but just to make him realize his mistake. When someone you know goes astray, it is right to do everything you can to save him!)

Bai Zhongzhidou made up his mind, took out his cell phone, and quickly dialed a number...

Chapter 470 The dove takes over the magpie's nest?

There is an idiom called "the cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest", which means that a house clearly has an owner, but is later occupied by another person.

Although he didn't mean to, Wu Jianmiao sometimes wondered if he had become the dove in the story. Now, a stranger with a surname other than Jiang, like himself, had moved into Jiang Tianwei's house, and he felt like he was becoming the head of the family.

In particular, Jiang Tianwei has to go to school on weekdays, and after school he either works as a thief or sings songs about youth. But now that he is on vacation, it seems that this kid is even busier than when he was in school. He is not home all day long. At least 60% to 70% of the time, Wu Jianmiao lives in this house.

(She is just like the hostess of this house.)

Wu Jianmiao thought so, picked up the slightly cold coffee, took a sip, and used the caffeine to activate his already alert brain.

There was nothing wrong with living in Jiang Tianwei's house. The bedroom in Wu Jianmiao's own clinic was not much better than Jiang Tianwei's home. But sometimes Wu Jianmiao still missed that small space filled with the aroma of medicine.

It's not that she has any special memories, but because the equipment for research is complete. Now the blood of a researcher in Wu Jianmiao's body is burning. The time when she was crazy about the antidote for Eden disease has quietly emerged from the corner of her memory and rekindled the research soul in her body.

As a doctor, she is at least a half-biologist. Seeing Jiang Tianwei, a monster that does not conform to the characteristics of a conventional biological being, she is of course very curious.

However, if you want to study this unknown field, you can't do it without equipment. Wu Jianmiao's previous clinics could not meet her needs. Even the equipment of the top hospital in Oyamada was slightly insufficient. If you want to study a monster like Jiang Tianwei, you need a national-level precision laboratory!

And you can't just rely on yourself, you also need a whole set of suitable researchers.

By the way, in the scientific research industry, people in various laboratories occasionally jokingly refer to newly graduated graduate students and doctoral students as "consumables", which shows how inward-looking this industry is.

"If only he could bring out some demon like Aladdin's lamp, or just give me a perfect laboratory."

Wu Jianmiao muttered this and turned his attention back to Jiang Tianwei's cells in the culture dish...

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Although Jiang Tianwei had many friends, not many of them were close enough to visit him. Of those who would come to visit him, almost none were. The hasty knock on the door reminded Wu Jianmiao of a very rude senior prosecutor. A hint of displeasure flashed across her brows, but she still walked over quickly to open the door.

Surprisingly, the person standing outside the door was not Senior Prosecutor Niijima.

Not surprisingly, the girl dressed as a man outside the door is also a criminal investigation practitioner. She calls herself Baek Jong Naoto and says she is a detective.

"I'm sorry, but we don't have anything that requires the detective's help."

Wu Jianmiao said this in a bad mood and was about to close the door. But unexpectedly, Bai Zhongzhidou got his foot stuck in front of the door first, and his leather boots easily hindered Wu Jianmiao's movement.

Bai Zhongzhidou took the opportunity to step forward, approached Wu Jianmiao, and whispered: "I am not an outsider. I am a member of the Phantom Thieves. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Jianmiao was startled, and in that moment of distraction, Bai Zhongzhidou had already slipped under her arm and entered the house. Since he had already come in, a weak woman like Wu Jianmiao could not force him to leave. She could only change her mind and look at Bai Zhongzhidou who was sitting directly on Jiang Tianwei's bed, saying, "So, why did you suddenly come here today? If you are his companion, you should know that he is not at home today, right?"

Yes, today Jiang Tianwei was asked out by someone as usual and was not at home.

Bai Zhongzhidou shrugged and showed an indifferent smile: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if he's not here. I'm here to see you, Doctor Takemi Tadashi."

"I?"

Wu Jianmiao didn't quite understand. Thinking about it carefully, Prosecutor Niijima's previous words were also very roundabout. Could it be that everyone in their industry speaks like that?

Bai Zhong Naoto smiled very confidently. People who knew Naoto would immediately know that Naoto had everything under control. Then, Naoto listed Takemiya's resume as if he was naming a dish. As soon as Takemiya heard it, he knew that this great detective had conducted a considerable investigation on him.

"So, Great Detective, you came here today just to tell me these things about myself?"

The unhappiness on Wu Jianmiao's face became more and more obvious, while Bai Zhong Zhidou's professional smile became more and more fake.

"No, I have good news for you."

Bai Zhongzhidou mysteriously took out a brown paper bag from his arms. It was bulging with documents.

When Takemiya opened it, the first thing that caught his eye was the words "Kirijō Group".

The Kirijo Group is such a super enterprise that even if Takemiya is unwilling to understand it, he will eventually be influenced by it.

She flipped through a few pages, and the contents of these documents, in a nutshell, were the specifications of the laboratory. They described in detail all aspects of the data of a super-large professional biological laboratory.

Wu Jianmiao snorted and asked sarcastically, "Why, is the great detective going to give this laboratory to me?"

"Yes. That's what I mean."

Bai Zhong Zhidou probably guessed that Wu Jianmiao would say this a long time ago. Perhaps, before coming here today, she had already investigated Wu Jianmiao's character clearly, so she deliberately led Wu Jianmiao to lead the topic here.

Yes, this is the content of the phone call that Bai Zhongzhidou made before, asking Kirijo Mitsuru whether he could provide a professional laboratory for Takemiya. It is certain that Takemiya is talented, and it is also certain that Jiang Tianwei is extraordinary. It is also certain that professional equipment is needed to study Jiang Tianwei.

It sounds like such a legitimate and natural thing!

(This is to solve the mystery of the assistant, there is no selfish motive to get Dr. Takemi out of here.)

Bai Zhongzhidou reaffirmed his own justice in his heart, and the smile on his face became even more determined.

Wu Jianmiao was also shocked when she heard this. The specifications of this laboratory were definitely the kind of top national research laboratory she had just imagined. If everything could go according to her arrangement, then the analysis of Jiang Tianwei would be very smooth.

Wu Jianmiao...is indeed a little moved.

After all, who wouldn't want to help their friends or lovers? Wu Jianmiao knew that Jiang Tianwei was doing something dangerous, but she could do nothing but pray for his safety. She also wanted to do her best to help Jiang Tianwei...

It's just that I am powerless now. If I had such a laboratory...

But, if I accept this laboratory...

Takemiya glanced at Bai Zhongzhidou, and the reserve of an adult told her that there is no free lunch, and if you want to get something, you must pay the corresponding price... Should she accept the proposal of this so-called famous detective?

This is really a problem...

Chapter 471 She Said She Was Your Wife

People always dream, and you can get a glimpse of this from the number of people who buy lottery tickets.

Wu Jianmiao is a human being, of course he also dreams.

When I was a child, I dreamed of having endless snacks. When I grew up, I dreamed of meeting my prince charming. When I was in senior year, I dreamed of having a good job and everything going smoothly. When I went to medical school, I began to dream of whether there would be any great medical discoveries.

It turned out that nothing was discovered, but a "major mistake" had occurred. From "major medical discovery" to "major medical accident", at least three-fifths of the dream was realized, which is not bad when you think about it this way.

Now, Wu Jianmiao had to admit that deep in her heart, she did have a dream of having a research institute of her own. However, as people grow up, they always become more and more realistic... Becoming realistic means not easily telling others about those unrealistic dreams.

Bai Zhongzhidou's analysis was very accurate, and Wu Jianmiao was indeed moved.

However, she was also well aware of the principle of "don't chase a desperate enemy", so she didn't force her to make up her mind. She just told her to think about it carefully, and then went back.

(If she is like what I think, then she will definitely devote herself to Assistant-kun and will definitely accept the invitation from the Kirijo Group. If she gives up this invitation for the sake of pleasure, it means that she is just such a superficial woman, and Assistant-kun will not have any true love for her.)

Until he left, Bai Zhong Zhidou was still analyzing calmly in his mind.

It's just that, just as you peer into the abyss, the abyss is also peering into you. Bai Zhongzhidou's calculations are very clever, and Wu Jianmiao is no fool: (Why did this detective disguised as a man suddenly come to the door?).

To outsiders, Baek Jong Naoto's disguise skills might be so real that they could be mistaken for real. The evidence is that when Jiang Tianwei first saw her, he didn't even notice that she was a woman, and a certain second-generation detective prince who failed to catch on didn't even know that his senior was a girl.

But for medical workers like Wu Jianmiao, they can determine the gender by simply measuring the body skeleton - otherwise, how do you think forensic doctors determine whether the deceased is a man or a woman through the skeleton?

Takemiya had never hired a detective, and even during the time when she was wronged by Ooyamada, she had never thought of this idea. So she had nothing to do with the detective.

Naturally, the same goes for the Kirijo Group. He has nothing to do with this huge and influential group in Japan. Think about it, if Takemiya has such connections, why would he go to that bastard hospital of Oyamada? Wouldn't it be better for him to work directly at the Kirijo Group?
