Recently, due to the enforcement of the road traffic law, the police supervision is very strict and annoying. Although Takehachi Sochii was impatient, the police had already stopped the taxi. The policeman greeted the passenger, then asked the driver to show his driver's license and told him that speeding was not allowed.In fact, this is the responsibility of Takeuchi Sujii who is eager to track down. The policeman looked at the driver's license and handed it back to the driver. The driver kept nodding his head in apology. When the driver started the car again, many cars were blocked in front and could not continue to track.

"Guest, I can't follow the car in front anymore." "No way, bad luck." "Yes! I'm so sorry." "No, it's my fault. I told you to drive quickly. Fortunately, there was no fine." "Recently, if you speed a little bit, your driver's license will be revoked and you will be fined 10,000 yuan. There is nothing you can do." The road traffic law adopts strict punishment, which has a bad impression among drivers. There is a red light ahead, you can't go forward.Where did Okase Masahira's car go? "Driver, please turn right to Kagurazaka."

Because there are few vehicles there.We passed Waseda Street in Kagurazaka. "Guest, where are you parked?" "This..." Takehachi Sujii thought about it. "Guest." The driver shouted urgently: "The one coming over there is the one that was followed just now." Takehachi Sochii looked forward, and there were five or six cars in front of him, among which were green medium-sized cars. "That's it, that's right. It's Donghe Taxi's car. The customer got off the car, and it's empty now." "Did you remember the car number?"

"Wait a minute, you'll see the license plate in a while," after following, "That's right." The driver said while reading the license plate number. "Hey! Tell that car to stop." Takehachi Sotsui ordered the driver. The driver honked the horn twice hastily. The green car in front came to a sudden stop when it just missed the car.The driver stuck his head out of the car window with a puzzled look on his face. Takehachi Suzui stretched out his hand from the car window to signal to the other party to stop.He hurriedly paid the fare to his driver, and of course he didn't forget to pay for the drink.

Takehachi Sokui goes green taxi: "Excuse me, master driver." Takehachi Suijing smiled and asked the thin-faced driver in his thirties: "Did you just come here from the Fuchu Racecourse?" "yes." "Where did the guest get off?" "It's at the turn towards Shamen." The driver got impatient. "Which house did you get off in front of?" "have no idea." Takehachi Sochii hastily took out three 1,000-yuan bills from his wallet and stuffed them into the driver's hand. "You are very busy, I missed your business, I am sorry."

"No need for this." The driver was a little more polite, and his tense face relaxed. "Which house did the visitor enter?" "The guest crossed the sand gate and walked in the direction of the restaurant. I don't know about it later." Takehachi Sochii hurried through the sand gate and turned into an alley.He reckoned that Masaaki Okase might be nearby. The restaurant street is brightly lit, what a city that never sleeps. It was good luck to meet Okase Masahira's car and know where he was going, and this luck may come again.You might run into him again if you're nearby.

But luck seemed to be playing a joke on Takehachi Suijing. He wandered around and met irrelevant people. What is the purpose of Okase Masahira here? Maybe he wants to relive the old dream of that "golden age"!But he doesn't necessarily have to come to the restaurant here.Yes, most likely a bar or a nightclub. Takehachi Sochii was tired from walking, but Okase Masahira was still nowhere to be seen, so he had no choice but to take a taxi back to Arai Yakushi's dim sum shop. Back at the snack shop, I looked out through the hole in the door, and saw that the opposite grocery store was dimly lit, and only the bald uncle Eijiro Okase was on duty in the store.There is no light on the second floor, which means Okase Masahira has not returned yet.

Takehachi Sochii and the editor-in-chief Yamazaki agreed that they must report once a day. He went downstairs to make a phone call and reported what happened today. When it was very late, there was still no light on the second floor opposite. Due to going to bed late last night, Dijing didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next morning.He hurriedly looked to the opposite side, Okase Masahira was busy doing business in the store in work clothes as usual. When did he come back last night? He seemed to be full of energy. If he had just returned this morning, he would not have been so energetic.

When he went downstairs to buy food and came back, he saw Okase Masahei changing into a suit, holding a small travel bag in his hand, talking to his uncle Eijiro in front of the grocery store. Takehachi Sochii seemed to be a firefighter who had received an order from the fire alarm. He hurried back and put on his suit, ready to go out. When he came out again, Okase Masahira and his uncle had disappeared. When Takehachi Sujii reached the street corner, he saw Okase Masahira boarding a taxi thirty meters away.He had to turn back.At this moment, Eijiro Okase was standing in front of the shop!It was too late to avoid it.

Sokui Takehachi had no choice but to go straight to Eijiro: "I'm an old friend of Okase Masahira, is he here now?" Eijiro didn't know Takeuhachi who had been peeping across from his house for a long time. "Look for Zhengping! He's gone to Iizaka now..." "Iizaka? Iizaka is..." "It's Iizaka Onsen in Fukushima Prefecture! Masahira's ancestral grave is nearby. His mother's is also there, and he went to worship the ancestral grave." Eijiro thought Sotsui was a friend of his nephew, so he explained the situation in more detail.
