Zhou Yan and Lin Xi both turned around in confusion, and then they saw a little girl running towards them.

The short double ponytails and clean dress are Shizuka.

She seemed to be running behind for a while, so she was a little panting.

"Uh...Is there anything wrong?" Zhou Yan asked at Shizuka.

Shizuka slowed down and took a few breaths.

"May I ask, Nobita... did you give you that precious card?" she said.

This sentence made Lin Xi and Zhou Yan slightly stunned.

"You... are detectives." Shizuka asked again.

"..." Lin Xi was silent. She frowned and looked at the quiet little girl in front of her: "How did you know?"

"Because Nobita cannot crack Kofu's technique, he is not so smart." Shizuka replied naturally.

Zhou Yan's head hangs!

Oh my God, can Nobita's IQ be regarded as decisive evidence if he said such a firmly?

If Nobita himself heard you say this to him, he would probably have collapsed throughout his childhood.

Lin Xi was also slightly surprised: "So...you've seen a long time ago that we are detectives?"

"Not that," Shizuka said: "It's just that Nobita's performance is too obvious."

Zhou Yan couldn't help himself: "Then you praised Nobita and hugged Nobita before, just to comfort him?"

Shizuka lowered her head: "No, it's just that I think... Da Ao was in pain at that time. I wanted to help him, but I didn't know how to speak."

"Uh... children nowadays are a bit unexpectedly precocious." Zhou Yan shouted in his heart.

"So, what are you looking for us now?" Lin Xi asked.

"I want..." Shizuka lowered her head and hesitated for a while: "I want to ask you, can you return that card to Nobitao? It's his most precious thing. Last time, Ji An wanted to grab that card, but Nobitao protected him tightly. I've never seen him as strong as he."

Lin Xi seemed to have thought of something. She smiled and looked at the little girl in front of her: "You just chased us all the way because you wanted to help him get the card back?"

"Yes." Shizuka nodded.

"But...Nobita lied to you." Lin Xi said again.

"I know...but...I don't blame him!"

"Why?"

"Because..." Shizuka hesitated for a moment: "Because Nobita is such a person. He is timid, cowardly, has no ambition, and... is stupid.

He is not a hero, and he will tremble when he sees wild dogs. He is not a child who loves to study. He always sleeps in class! His luck is still bad, and this is not good, and that is not good.

But this is Nobita.”

"Uh..." Zhou Yan rubbed his nose a little confused. He felt that Shizuka's comments didn't sound like an exaggeration.

But then again... Yes, who stipulates that a child must have all kinds of perfect qualities like the protagonist in the novel?

Is only those children with light all over their bodies worthy of people's liking?

Do a child have to be brave, or do he have to love studying? Or have he held passionate and lofty ideals since childhood, so that people can appreciate it?

Quality is cultivated, not imposed.

Escape and cowardice are not necessarily shameful. In the face of difficulties, not everyone can have the courage to move forward.

Even lying...that is an inevitable behavior that a person has in his life.

Even if all parents are warning their children that lying is not possible and will never be allowed.

But...so what.

No matter how obedient a child is, they will eventually lie.

Of course, this does not mean that we have to indulge, but no one can escape.

In contrast, people like Nobita who are not immersed in lies after lying, are actually a rare quality.

"So... please give the card back to Nobita." Shizuka continued, then bowed deeply: "Actually, it's all my fault. I was very curious yesterday and always asked Nobita what Kofu did.

Nobita just wants to solve the puzzle for me.

Anyway, if it weren't for me, Nobita wouldn't have bet on that card at all."

Shizuka spoke sincerely, and even ended up taking the mistakes on herself.

However, Lin Xi shook his head: "I'm really sorry. Although I can see that Nobita is a kind child, you will never hope that he lied, but he didn't have to pay any price.

Besides, someone will have to pay the entrusted money.”

Shizuka still kept bowing: "I can pay the entrusted money for Nobita."

"Huh?" Zhou Yan frowned: "I said, don't take the money from your family privately, we won't accept it."

"No, no, no." Shizuka quickly waved her hand: "I don't have money, and I won't take my family's money privately. Actually... I want to use another commission to pay this commission."

"Uh...what does it mean?" Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand.

However, Lin Xi's eyes seemed to lit up, "Oh? Are you saying, do you have a better client?"

"Yeah!" Shizuka nodded.

In fact...it is not particularly rare in this world to use commissions to pay the ‘entrust fee’.

The specific process is that after a detective helps a person solve the incident, the person does not have to give the detective money, but introduces another client's case to him and let the detective deal with it.

The reason for this operation is actually because of the hierarchy of the detective agency.

Fame, the type of case to be resolved, the social status of the client, and the number of commissions to be resolved.

All of these factors affect the level of the detective agency.

To give a few examples, just look for missing children... This kind of thing is not difficult, but if there is a detective agency that is particularly good at finding children, then its reputation in the field of [Looking for People] will be particularly high.

Therefore, even if it never takes over other types of cases, its detective agency level will continue to rise.

Also, the benefits that you will bring will definitely be different if you help the old lady in the next door find a cat and help the mayor find a cat.

This does not mean that the mayor is superior to others...but after solving the mayor's problem, the chances of being interviewed are higher, and the chances of being exposed by the detective agency are even higher.

In short, a good case can bring benefits to the detective agency not only money, so a good commission will often attract the covetousness of a group of detective agencies.
