Chapter 6 Who's Lying
"Call the police?" Shibata Mika was a little surprised and said, "Call the police if you call the police. Anyway, I have a clear conscience."
Naoto Hara reminded: "There is a phone call in the coffee shop we made an appointment."
Yamamoto Natsuko hesitated for a moment and nodded solemnly. For some reason, she was very confident in Naoto Hara.
Naoto Hara nodded and went back to the coffee shop.
The waiter who had greeted Hara Naoto before saw that he actually brought two beautiful girls to the store. He was very impressed and gave the drinks list with great eyesight.
Naoto Hara had seen the drink list before and ordered the cheapest glass of lemonade and said, "I agreed that we will make AA, I will order it, you can watch it."
Shibata Mika glanced at Naoto Hara with contempt and said, "Hmph, what a stingy man! Give me a cup of cinnamon latte."
Yamamoto Natsuko had no money in her pocket, but she still ordered an American one.
As for the desserts, none of the three of them ordered it.
Naoto Hara spread the receipt flat on the table and smiled and said, "Is this receipt true or false or easy to judge."
Shibata Mika glanced at him disdainfully, and Yamamoto Natsuko opened her eyes wide and looked at the receipt nervously.
Naoto Hara asked, "It seems like this is an old magazine title page."
Mika Shibata nodded and said, "Isn't this very obvious? There was no paper at hand at that time, so Natsuko casually tore up a magazine's title page and wrote the receipt."
Naoto Hara smiled, the corners of his mouth bent and said, "Are you sure this receipt was written by Miss Yamamoto? She also tore this title page?"
Mika Shibata's face changed, her expression was a little panicked, and she quickly changed her words: "No, this receipt was a title page that I tore from the magazine when I paid back the money to Natsuko. The content was written by me and signed by her after confirmation."
Yamamoto Natsuko denied, "It's not like this. I don't know what's going on. Mika didn't pay me back the money. The previous few times I asked her to pay back the money, she ran away when she saw me. Later she found such a so-called receipt."
Naoto Hara nodded and said, "I understand. Since you have different opinions, it can only mean that one of you two is lying. So who is lying?"
Shibata Mika and Yamamoto Natsuko were about to speak and were interrupted by Naoto Hara.
"Actually, this is very obvious. I already saw it when I saw this receipt."
"You are the one who lies, Miss Mika Shibata!"
Naoto Hara was possessed by a two-point detective, and pointed at Shibata Mika and said the above words.
Not only Shibata Mika and Yamamoto Natsuko, but several guests sitting nearby all looked at Naoto Hara with curious eyes.
Yamamoto Natsuko applauded first and said loudly: "Wow, it's really amazing. She deserves to be the landlord Sang!"
Of course, Mika Shibata would not surrender because of a few words from Naoto Hara. She shouted: "Hmph, do you have evidence? No evidence is slander!"
Naoto Hara took a sip of the sour and sweet lemonade, and then smiled and said, "Of course there is evidence. According to your statement, you wrote the content and asked Miss Yamamoto to sign it. However, the signature and content of the receipt were written in different pens. It would not be that after you wrote the content, you would specially change a pen to sign it for Miss Yamamoto. This is unreasonable."
Shibata Mika argued: "What's wrong with this? The pen I used at that time didn't have ink. I changed one for Natsuko to use. Can't it?"
Naoto Hara nodded and said, "Of course it's OK. It's your freedom to use one pen or two pens. But Miss Shibata, can you explain why the difference between the receipt and the signature is more than half a year? Why did Miss Yamamoto write the receipt only after at least half a year after signing the receipt?"
Mika Shibata slapped the table, and she looked a little bit lusty. She said, "No, why do you think what I wrote is after signing it at a glance?"
Naoto Hara looked illiterate and said, "Ms. Shibata, if you are not educated, you need to read more. Do you know what handwriting identification means? In addition, Miss Yamamoto, I remember that you have the habit of collecting old magazines. If you find the magazine corresponding to this title page, if you only find traces of your signature on it, and there are no traces of the content of the receipt, I think it is enough to explain the truth."
Yamamoto Natsuko actually didn't know what handwriting identification is, and she didn't have the habit of collecting old magazines, because she was just lazy. The old magazines were probably cleaned only once a year. The magazine corresponding to the title page might have been thrown away, but she understood Naoto Hara's hint, so she nodded in cooperation and said, "My old magazines are here. I will go back and look them up and will definitely be able to find this magazine."
Mika Shibata stood up suddenly, tore the receipt apart with a ugly face, and she said, "Okay, no need, I admit it, this receipt is fake. I said, "Naya, isn't it just a little money? Are you as for it? If I had money, I would have paid you back long ago, and I still don't have money?"
Yamamoto Natsuko said bitterly: "But Mika, I also want to live. Osaka is not as good as Tokyo, but the cost of living is also very high."
Mika Shibata simply threw the jar and said directly: "I just don't have the money to pay you back. What can you do to me?"
Seeing the arrogant Mika Shibata, Yamamoto Natsuko was very angry, but she couldn't do anything about Mika Shibata, so she could only look at Naoto Hara for help.
Naoto Hara smiled and said, "Is this the commission from Miss Yamamoto? If so, I can take it."
Yamamoto Natsuko thought of her friendship with Mika Shibata, and then thought of Mika Shibata's arrogance before. She just hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "Get rid of it, landlord Sang, I am willing to take out half of the amount as the commission fee. Please help me get back this debt."
Naoto Hara nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accept this commission. The cost of Osaka is not low, but there are many opportunities to make money, especially for a young lady like Miss Shibata who is not bad in appearance."
Shibata Mika couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
Naoto Hara showed a mysterious smile and said, "I am just an ordinary landlord, but occasionally I will do some special part-time jobs, such as debt collection or something."
She clearly had a handsome and sunny smile, but in Mika Shibata's eyes it was like a demonic threat. She pointed at Naoto Hara and said tremblingly: "What do you want to do? I'll call the police if you believe it or not. Yes, I want to call the police!"
