Upon opening the suitcase I see 3 sets of clothes a toothbrush, toothpaste and a lot of other useless stuff.
???
Where's the money!?
I then start ripping open every zipper on the suitcase. But I can't find a single penny!
Could he have given the wrong suitcase to him, No, that can't be right the Death Note stated that the suitcase must have money! Money is hidden somewhere in it. I immediately unravel the knife hid with the jacket and start ripping the suitcase apart.
But after ripping the suitcase to shreds I find nothing! Could it be that the man didn't have any cash so the Death Note didn't didn't work! No, that can't be, why would he chase after the suitcase that has only normal things then?
I then look towards the only thing that I didn't touch which where the things stuffed in the suitcase at the time.
There was:
3 sets of clothing
1 toothbrush
1 toothpaste
1 bar of Soap
1 bottle of shampoo
1 mini hair-gel bottle
1 Set of playing cards
I flip the pockets of the clothing but don't find any money.
The tooth brush most likely can't hide any money but just in case I start pulling at the brush and that's when something happened, the brush popped off and inside it was a rolled up Japanese bill...
I knew it! There really was money.
I looked at the rest of the items
I opened the cap of the toothpaste and squeezed out all of it and finally found nothing in return for my hard work.
I just wasted a completely good tube of toothpaste.
Is that bill all the cash he hid in his suitcase!?
No that can't be! I don't believe that you would fill a suitcase to the brim just to hide a single 10,000 note in here.
I grab the bar of soap next and start feeling around it and found a certain part cave in after I touched it.
I look towards the heavens and laughed. See no one under the heavens can hide anything from this monkey king's eyes of truth.
I then look towards the shampoo and once I opened the cap I found a folded up 1000 yen note hidden there but why only a 1000 yen when he was hiding 10000 yen before? There must be something hidden within this bottle of shampoo and he was using the 1000 yen to make the shampoo look like the money had already been found if it ended up in the hands of someone other then himself.
I take the shampoo into the hotels bath tube first and then took the knife and cut a slit in the case of the shampoo. The shampoo started coming out after I pulled the 2 sides apart and inside the poor dissected shampoo case was a plastic bag with a roll of cash inside. When I looked at the shampoo case again I found out that I only need to twist the top cap of the shampoo bottle and the cap would've come off and a string attached to the plastic would've pulled the cash out, this means I dissected the poor shampoo for nothing...
I looked towards the hair gel and then took off the cap by twisting but there was nothing in there this time...
Then the last place that could have hidden anything was the deck of cards and when I open the deck of cards I find that there is a credit card hidden in it.
But I can't use it. So this mans hidden stash was in this card. Sigh.
I can't risk using the card as I might be traced. I take the card and start bending it back and forth. It eventually splits apart and then I used the knife to shred it.
I started to count the amount of money I found and the result was
10,000 in tooth brush
10,000 in soap
1,000 in the shampoo cap
100,000 in the plastic wrap hidden in the shampoo bottle.
So 121,000¥ = 1,121 USD
That was totally not worth it.
There was probably money to be found in the card but since I couldn't use it, it's as good as nothing. Killing someone over a thousand or so dollars...
Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
Back on Earth money was never a problem for me. I had been born in a rich family. I was a rich second generation.
But here I need to kill people to earn a thousand dollars... sigh.
Life sure has its ups and downs.
I have never had any problems with money before. I even laughed at those who fought in underground tournaments with there lives on the line just to get a couple hundred to thousand of dollars.
But when I look back at that now I'm in disbelief. I killed someone just to get a suitcase having just a little over a thousand dollars and there will probably be even more problems and implications with this.
I need a more efficient way of earning money and getting the stuff I need without relying on the death note. Meaning I need to rely on this system. It needs to be able to help me earn money fast.
I open up the system status panels.
