Chapter 643 Shimabukuro Kimie: Master, could you be a lazybones...?
"I didn't mean to bother you this early,"
Kimie Shimabukuro smiled and said to the person on the other end of the phone.
"But I saw your phone was online, and I just happened to run into some things, so I called you..."
"Oh?"
Lin Jiayou raised an eyebrow slightly as he listened to Shimabukuro Kimie's words.
"About your studies?"
Although he said it was about his studies, Lin Jiayou didn't really think that way.
Generally speaking, when Kimie Shimabukuro calls, it's most likely about academic matters. However, since she's now left the Kurosawa Detective Agency, she shouldn't have any academic assignments.
In addition, she said something happened...................
"Hmm... actually, it's not really like that,"
Shimabukuro Kimie stroked her chin, hesitated for a moment, and then continued speaking.
"I only officially arrived here yesterday, so I spent the whole day yesterday organizing things in the office."
"It wasn't until last night that I finally finished tidying up all the mess in the office..."
Kimie Shimabukuro continued talking.
Lin Jiayou felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
Although this Kurosawa Detective Agency was created by himself and still uses Gin's surname, however...
I haven't actually been there much myself.
*Ahem*, it's definitely not because I'm lazy. It's just that the organization's work is so busy that I simply haven't had time to go there...
Yes, that's definitely how it is...................
"continue."
Lin Jiayou spoke calmly to Shimabukuro Kimie.
Kimie Shimabukuro nodded.
"Yes, that's how it is. I saw that everything at the office was sorted out today, so I went out for a walk and had some breakfast this morning without any worries."
"Of course, it's still done using your looks."
Shimabukuro Kimie was afraid that Lin Jiayou would think she was being lazy, so she quickly added another sentence.
Lin Jiayou nodded without speaking, but gestured for Shimabukuro Kimie to continue.
"Then, after I came back,"
Kimie Shimabukuro continued speaking.
"It suddenly occurred to me that in TV shows, many clients send their requests to their inboxes."
"So, after I finished breakfast and my walk, I checked our firm's inbox, and then..."
Shimabukuro Kimie stopped talking at this point.
However, Lin Jiayou could hear rustling sounds coming from the other end of the phone, sounding like someone was taking something out...
"Then, I found more than twenty letters."
When Shimabukuro Kimie said this, her voice sounded somewhat helpless.
When she first saw so many letters in the mailbox, it was really hard not to wonder if her mentor had even checked the office's mailbox at all...
"Oh, it's a letter."
After hearing these words, Lin Jiayou roughly understood why Shimabukuro Kimie had called.
"Is there a letter inside inviting you to do something?"
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Kimie Shimabukuro nodded repeatedly, but then smiled and corrected her.
"But it's not for me, it's a letter inviting you, Master, to come over for something..."
"......Okay, consider it an invitation."
Lin Jiayou was speechless for a moment, then nodded and said directly,
"Ignore these letters, just pretend you didn't see them."
These letters inviting detectives to come and do this or that will most likely lead to one case after another once they arrive.
He himself was too lazy to go. While Shimabukuro Kimie had the time, her crime-solving abilities were questionable, and sending her would risk damaging his reputation. So he simply pretended not to see it.
"Um, Master, is this alright...?"
Shimabukuro Kimie's lips twitched as she listened to Lin Jiayou's words.
A strange feeling stirred within her; had she perhaps discovered her master's true colors...?
The thought had barely formed when Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head repeatedly, banishing it from her mind.
How could that be? Master must be too busy to deal with such a thing.
In addition, he was worried that he might not handle the situation well and was afraid of causing trouble for the organization, so he said that.
Yes, that's right. Master must have been too busy, and also wanted to protect himself, so he turned down these things...
"There's nothing wrong with it,"
Lin Jiayou casually replied,
"Didn't I tell you before that if someone comes to your door asking you to solve a case, you should just refuse?"
"The task you are undertaking this time is to impersonate me and live undercover for a long period of time."
"Solving cases is not within your scope of duties..."
As he spoke, Lin Jiayou couldn't help but remind Shimabukuro Kimie in a somewhat lecturing tone,
"In the future, you should also have this mindset when you go on missions."
"If it's a colleague in the organization you know well, that's fine. You can help them appropriately while completing your own tasks, but you must also ensure their safety. Never agree to a request whose safety is unknown..."
"However, if it's someone you've only met once and are just hanging out with because of a mission, don't cause any trouble, no matter what they ask you to do."
"Remember, doing more doesn't add points; doing your own thing well is more important than anything else..."
He wasn't just saying that casually; he was genuinely reminding Kimie Shimabukuro.
Within the organization, many members, for various reasons, helped others with tasks or acted on their own initiative, and as a result, things really went wrong...
A prime example is Calvados from the original timeline; this guy helped Vermouth cause trouble, and ended up getting himself caught up in it...
He certainly didn't want his young apprentice to end up like Calvados, rushing in like a sycophant and losing his life in the process...
Of course, Lin Jiayou didn't think Shimabukuro Kimie was a simp like Calvados; the girl's mind was probably very pure.......................
