Chapter 127: Do you know what you’ve done?

Since the woman in blue had no intention of leaving the pedestrian street immediately, Xiang Kun did not rashly approach her to place the ballpoint pen bead in her bag. Instead, he continued to follow her at a distance until her friends arrived and they went to a dessert shop together.

Xiang Kun entered the imported snack shop next to the dessert shop. With a basket in hand, he pretended to choose snacks while keeping a close eye on the woman in blue and her friends.

The woman in blue seemed to be living and working locally, which allied with Xiang Kun’s decision from yesterday. Combined with other information, it could be determined that she was the local contact for ‘Kasumi of August’. Their relationship was not familiar, but was a straightforward employment relationship.

He had made several alternative plans in his mind, considering how to extract information from the woman in blue once he was sure no one else was following him, or at least, learn about the contact method and the way she was hired.

These included pretending to be an official investigator, chatting her up as a fortune-teller, investigating her identity and profession before getting in touch, etc. All of these methods had their risks. He was still considering whether there was a better plan.

However, the woman in blue’s friend arrived, and she began to explain the circumstances in a torrent of words…

“Damn it, the moment I heard what he wanted me to do, I knew it wasn’t good. Initially offered 1000, trying to fob me off? I demanded 5000 straight away and finally got him up to 3000, plus 200 for clothes, 200 for a taxi and 100 for drinks!”

“Just this dress, obviously didn’t cost 200.79! And I spent 52 on two drinks, and 20 for the taxi fare! I ended up earning 3349!”

“It’s definitely something shady! To that café, the one on the eastern side of the pedestrian street, the Long Time No See Cafe! Wear a blue dress, go after two o’clock, buy two drinks and tell them someone is coming to see me. After they arrive, just tell them one thing.”

The woman in blue cleared her throat, and recited in standard Mandarin: “What you want to know is all in **Town.”

“I waited from two to three, but no bloody soul showed up! So glad I got the money first, otherwise that bastard might have said I didn’t do the job and not paid me!”

Then she lowered her voice and told her companion: “I suspect they might be spies or drug traffickers!”

The companion seemed a little shocked and whispered: “And you still dared

“I’m not afraid! That fool wearing sunglasses, thought I wouldn’t recognize him because he’d never contacted me before. That idiot had contacted Xiaoqin many times before, he’s the Certification Guy on * *Street, lives on the second floor above the watch repair shop! His real name is Zhang Jinan, everyone on the street calls him ‘Certification Guy’. If the police or anyone else is looking for me, I’ll hand him over!”

“If you can’t reach me at any time, go find Brother Hua, if Brother Hua isn’t around, find the police. I have a recording.”

Xiang Kun involuntarily leaned a bit more towards the wall of the dessert shop, pretending to study the products on the shelves closely.

“Sir, this is imported from Korea, you see, the expiry dates are all the newest, if…” The shop assistant came over enthusiastically to introduce.

Xiang Kun raised his left hand to stop him: “Stop! I’ll look for myself!”

In the dessert shop, the woman in blue played a recording for her companion. The recording was not very clear, and it was not telephone conversation, but face-to-face conversation recorded secretly, but the content could still be heard.

“…Sir, our charges are standardized, 2000 is the baseline. It’s not that going to the cafe for a drink should necessarily reduce the price. According to your means, this is a customised requirement, and an additional fee is required. We don’t concern ourselves with the privacy of the customer, only the quality of the service…” The woman in blue’s voice in the recording spoke standard Mandarin, with her soft voice and steady speed making it very comfortable to listen to.

“…This…just two drinks, sitting around for the afternoon, although not the whole afternoon, but just for a while… this wouldn’t cost 5000! That’s too expensive!” Another voice was male and sounded a bit anxious .

“Sir, I have a discount for old customers, but this seems to be your first time contacting me?”

“First time…not…no…this has nothing to do with the first time, a simple thing, if you don’t do it, I can find someone else…”

The voice of the woman in blue was still unhurried: “Sir, you are sure to know that our service is the best and that we value privacy the most. Well, this is after all a customized service, and you at least need to add a 50% charge on top of the basic price, 3000 in total. Also, expenses for other activities need to be reimbursed by you. What do you think about this arrangement? If you don’t accept this price, you will have to look for someone else, but whether others can be as professional as we are, hehe…”

“Well…3000 then, but you have to at least stay until 3 in the afternoon, and remember what I want you to say…”

“Rest assured, ‘what you want to know is all in * *Town’, guaranteed not to skip a word. And by the way, sir, I need to make it clear that we don’t care about things outside of our service and we will not pry into the privacy of customers. However, what we do must not be against the national laws and regulations.” “Don’t worry, it’s just a meaningless phrase, no big deal.”

After the recording was over, the woman in blue said to her companion: “I’ll send you the recording. If I ever go missing, you can go to Brother Hua or the police and report that bloody fool!”

Xiang Kun, who was pretend-shopping for snacks next door, strained to hide his laugh.

The character of this Miss Blue, is just…too awesome!

She promptly saved Xiang Kun a lot of trouble.

However, from the information she revealed, the person who asked her to go to the ‘Long Time No See Cafe’ is still someone who lives and works locally.

That said, this person is certainly not the vampire behind ‘Kasumi of August’.

Xiang Kun located the place on the map using the keywords * *Street and watch repair shop that Miss Blue had mentioned. He then followed the directions on the map, taking a bus directly there.

He found the watch repair shop and the small building, but Xiang Kun did not rush to find the ‘Certification Guy” Zhang Jinan. Instead, he strolled around the area, observed the locations of all surveillance cameras, and unleashed his senses to perceive the information around him, assessing if there were any other hidden stalkers.

Around 6 0’clock in the evening, Xiang Kun stood in the shadows of a small alley by the watch repair shop, allowing himself to blend into the darkness.

Through his keen senses, he knew that there were four people living in the watch repair shop’s building, from the second floor to the fourth floor. On the second floor, there was only one man in the room on the right. He was busily typing on his keyboard. There were all kinds of messy smells in the room, clearly it was rarely cleaned.

And judging from the scents that Xiang Kun carefully distinguished, this man was definitely not a vampire, and his health was in a terrible condition.

Xiang Kun had already formulated several plans to extract information from this Zhang Jinan. After some brief contemplation, he decided to go for a quick solution.

At 6:50, Zhang Jinan’s online food order arrived. After watching the delivery man leave, Xiang Kun pulled down his duckbill hat and then entered through the back door of the watch repair shop, with his head bowed. He went straight to the second floor and knocked on Zhang Jinan’s door, then said in a somewhat urgent voice: “Excuse me, I’m the delivery man from before, I think I forgot one of your side dishes…”

“What side dish? I got everything I ordered…” A sleepy voice responded from inside, and then the door was opened.

The moment the door opened, Xiang Kun swiftly pushed it open, and his body slid in. With one hand over the man’s mouth and the other holding the man’s arm, Xiang Kun pushed him against the wall and closed the door with a sweep of his foot.

“Stay still! Zhang Jinan, do you know what you’ve done?” Xiang Kun whispered into Zhang’s ear from behind him..
