Chapter 18 third quarter

After reading this, I temporarily closed the book.The story was interrupted, and the American Star barista and I returned to reality. "...Don't trust financial institutions. Because they have a deposit limit protection system. Bankruptcy, do you know what it means? If the deposit exceeds 10 million or more, after the bankruptcy, the excess will be owned by them. If this If you keep it in your own hands, it doesn’t matter whether they go bankrupt or not, no matter if it’s 10 million, 20 million or 100 million, it has nothing to do with us. So, a rich person like me whose assets can reach the limit must Put the money in the safe under your hand. That way, if the bank goes bankrupt, the poor people there won't point and laugh at you: 'That old guy is ruined by bankruptcy'... By the way, I'm not an old man Where's the guy!"

Face it, I wouldn't want to come back if I could. "Also, put more money in your wallet frequently. Whenever you have the opportunity to strike up a conversation with young girls, let them see the money in your wallet quietly. Don't wait until you need to use the money before going to the bank to withdraw it. , This is too troublesome. If it were me, I would drive my Lexus car—of course the color is passionate red, and then stop the car next to the beautiful woman, pretend to ask for directions, and thank you when the question is about the same She opened the wallet. In this way, the girl will think: "This old guy is really generous", and her pupils will become heart-shaped... You have been silent since just now, some people especially like old guys, old guys It's really unbearable to call someone a guy."

"No, I have nothing..." "—You are the one who can't bear it!" Mei Xing walked around behind Uncle Mochuan unknowingly, lifted his peaked cap, and patted his cool-looking brain with a "snap".This action of hers made me quite emotional: she really looks more and more like a woman in Kyoto. "Are you embarrassing other reporters to know! Stop talking about useless things, you just need to answer other people's questions!" "I, I'm just answering the question seriously." "There's no need to answer a line of questions in hundreds of words like taking the college entrance examination. Do you understand?"

"Oh, sorry." Huh?Why is uncle so honest all of a sudden?Mei Xing said that it is good to understand, put his hat back, and went back to the bar. "He is very obedient today!" I whispered to Mei Xing quietly.She glanced at Uncle Mogawa. "That man wilts when he takes off his hat." There is still such a dead hole.Surprised and fresh, I stared at him intently.Seeing him happily put on the peaked cap that Meixing returned, I felt a little pitiful. It reminded me of the hero whose face made of bread can't use his strength once it gets wet-Anpanman.However, here, Meixing rescued the reporter who had been looking at us non-stop since just now, as if asking for help. She seemed to be closer to the role of a hero.

"Let's go back to the novel. Can you guess what's going to happen?" She answered my questions as she loaded coffee beans into the hand grinder across from me.Speaking of which, I haven't ordered anything yet. "I made a rough guess. It seems that there are a few flaws in the writing." I nodded and brought up the first place I thought there was a problem. “To fill a wooden barrel as large as a gasoline barrel, you need a lot of coffee beans. It’s not good to fry so many beans and store them for safekeeping, right?” Many coffee franchise stores put roasted coffee beans in wooden barrels for display.However, if a large wooden barrel is used to hold coffee beans, a large stainless steel bowl containing coffee beans is generally placed on the mouth of the barrel and displayed in a suspended form at the bottom.The vat is not easy to turn over, it is difficult to get the beans out from the bottom, and the coffee beans have already started to oxidize from the time of roasting, so it is impossible to roast so many beans in advance.

"In the article just now, a large stainless steel bowl appeared abruptly once. This is to indicate that this bowl is usually used to stand on a wooden barrel as a foreshadowing." After accepting Meixing’s supplement, I continued: "Besides, it's impossible to roast so many roasted coffee beans without selling them." In fact, from the moment the coffee beans are roasted, it means that they have begun to deteriorate.However, from the perspective of aroma, many people think that about two days after the beans are fried, the coffee will taste better after the changes in the ingredients during the roasting are fixed.It depends on when the coffee beans in the bucket are roasted.In any case, knowing that so many coffee beans can make delicious coffee, it is simply thankless to go to freshly roasted beans and make customers wait for 20 minutes.

"Mr. Aoyama, I agree with you. Are there any other questions?" I didn't get any negative from her, and I immediately regained my spirits. "There is also the point of putting the ground beans into the bag and sealing it. The author specifically mentioned the laminator as a tool, as if to emphasize that the bag is completely sealed. But if this is done, the bag is likely to be sealed. Explosive." Freshly roasted coffee beans release carbon dioxide.Especially after the coffee powder is ground, a large amount of gas will be released as the surface area increases.If it is sealed, the bag is in danger of bursting, so a small hole is usually made in the bag so that it will not oxidize too quickly; or a valve or something like that is installed.

From the beans that Meixing is grinding, there must be an invisible gas being released. "Since the owner of the shop is so particular about coffee that he roasts his own coffee beans, he ignores this common sense question. It's really strange. Based on the above points, didn't Mr. Aoyama come up with his own answer? Wanted to compliment you on 'Grinding Perfectly'." There is one thing left that I really don't want to say: "Unfortunately, I still have not thought well—" "Then I'll take the liberty of expressing my thoughts—the things stored in the wooden barrel may be corpses."

At this time, the reporter behind me who was talking to Uncle Sagawa probably heard the terrible words that Meixing uttered, and suddenly became speechless.Don't worry, it's just a story that happened in the world of speculative fiction.It is precisely because it is a mystery novel that it can sometimes inspire people. The barista takes out the ground coffee from the grinder and prepares to brew the coffee by hand. "The boss came back from the purchase and found that his beloved daughter was lying on the ground. Standing next to him was the male customer who was picking on her. The coffee the daughter drank was mixed with sleeping pills. That is to say, the man had calculated and was about to To plot against his beautiful daughter while the boss is away."

The author described the boss's daughter as a young and beautiful woman, which is also one of the foreshadowings. "Desperate to protect his daughter, the boss stabbed the man to death with an awl-like tool that is usually used to open coffee bean bags. He estimated that if the murder weapon was pulled out, there would be a lot of blood, so he had to insert the knife The body with the murder weapon was completely hidden. The boss carried the sleeping daughter into the house, and then put the body of the 'little' man into the barrel, and covered it with some coffee beans. Originally, this wooden barrel was probably made of a large The bowl is used as a lid, but the bottom of the bowl is right on the head of the corpse, so it can't be pressed down, which is more noticeable. I think he used coffee beans to cover the corpse. So, the boss can't sell wooden barrels The beans in the barrel. Because brewing one or two cups of coffee requires at least 20 grams of coffee beans, which can barely be provided; but if you only sell coffee beans, if you take 100 grams of coffee beans from the barrel Otherwise, the body may be exposed."

"The boss is probably sweating because he's busy with these things. However, it's okay to hide the corpse like this for a while, but he can still continue to operate, it's too nerve-wracking." .” "I don't think he planned it that way, maybe he just forgot to lock it... No, it was mentioned in the book beforehand that there is glass on the door, and anyone who comes in can see what's going on in the store, so he didn't care about it." You have to lock the door first, right?" "Well, but even if he just killed someone and saw his daughter fainted for no apparent reason, he should have thought of calling an ambulance first, right?" "If he guessed the reason why his daughter fainted, it wouldn't necessarily be the case. For example, the boss noticed that the man was holding a paper bag of sleeping pills or something. As long as the daughter didn't look so distressed, he shouldn't You want to ask for help at the risk of being found out that you have killed someone?" It turned out that I was so convinced that I opened the book again and turned to the next page.Afterwards, the development of the plot in the book does not need to be described again here. As long as it is the "truth" clearly stated in the book, it is exactly the same as Mei Xing's reasoning.
