Takehachi Sokui came out of that restaurant.I thought it was obviously a lie to say that the waitress was sent out to cover up what she had said to me.Maybe someone in the store heard her answer and told her to go away immediately.Why do you want to do this? Takehachi Sochii walked towards Iidabashi through the lively Kagurazaka. Those who do business don't want to cause trouble for their own shops, so they called the waitress away.It can be inferred that Yamazaki Jiro must have had some dealings with this restaurant, so they regarded Takei Suhachi as a plainclothes policeman. It seems that Okase Masahira took a taxi to this restaurant, otherwise why would Yamazaki also go?Okase Masahira has been to this restaurant in addition to going to the Fuchu Racecourse since he was released from prison.Which means he was with some woman here before he went to jail.

But why did Yamazaki Jiro, who followed this clue, suddenly disappeared?This is a strange thing.It is unclear what connection Yamazaki's disappearance has with this woman. If there is a connection, it is no small matter.Yamazaki is looking for the hidden huge sum of money, and this is related to the killing of Masayoshi Okase. As Suijing Takehachi was walking, he unconsciously turned around and looked back, he was worried that someone was following him. Although the shopkeeper interfered with the waitress's answer, there was still a way, because the bottom well had memorized the teller's name and address.

It is also possible that the waitress knew that the cashier knew Jiro Yamazaki, so she showed the photo to the cashier, and the article is here. Ryoko Miyabe's residence is Kameido 2-408, Koto-ku.Maybe not 408, can't remember exactly.But she must get on the train at Kameido Station when she goes to work, as long as she persists in front of the station, she will be able to wait for her. But it was difficult not knowing what time she went to work.That kind of shop is divided into morning shift and evening shift. If you don't know when she goes to work, you can't bear to wait in front of the station for two or three hours like a fool.How can I know her working hours?

He considered various options and decided to call her.He felt that a man's voice was inappropriate, so he should entrust a woman! Dijing walked into a snack bar and ordered a small bean porridge.He called the waitress over: "I have something to trouble you, please call me for me, that's all." He told her what he was about to say.The saleswoman in the white hat happily complied. "Wait a minute, you can't make a mistake, I'll write down the essentials of the call for you immediately." He hurriedly took out his notepad and wrote quickly with a pencil. The phone number is known from the matchbox of the souvenir given by the restaurant.The saleswoman went to call, and he listened attentively.

"Hello! Ask the teller to listen to the phone." There came a woman's voice: "Ah! The cashier is back." The saleswoman kept her ears on the receiver and glanced at Takeuchi Sukui at the same time. This was what he expected, because when he came out, the teller was clearing the bills and preparing to take over. "I went to your restaurant for dinner today." The female clerk followed Takehachi's instructions and said, "When I paid, I mistook the 1,000-yen note for 500-yen." The other party seemed to say something.The clerk said: "Then shall I check with the cashier tomorrow? What time does she come to work? ... What? Eleven o'clock? Got it." She put down the receiver.

Sochi Takehachi felt relieved.The saleswoman cooperated very well. "You've worked hard!" He hastily stuffed two 1,000-yuan bills into the hands of the female clerk: "She said you should go to work at eleven o'clock in the morning! Thank you!" In this way, he didn't have to wait in front of the station. up. The next morning, Takehachi Sochii arrived at Kameido Station by ten o'clock. The cashier, Ryoko Miyabe, is on the eleven o'clock shift, and it should be her time to go to work now.He tried his best to find someone like Yoshiko Miyabe in the crowd.In order not to attract the attention of others, he went to the small parcel depository, where he could see the people coming out of the station from the side.

Crowds were coming in and out of the station, and he focused only on the young woman. About ten minutes later, a woman in a white top and a light blue skirt came across the side street.The outline of the face is very similar to Ryoko Miyabe.Although she still couldn't see her nose and eyes clearly, her judgment was generally good, and Shi Jing moved forward. The woman hurried to the station.Takehachi Suijing had already seen clearly that this woman was indeed Ryoko Miyabe.But she didn't notice it, and took out the monthly pass from her handbag and walked towards the ticket gate.Takehachi Sochii followed closely from behind and also entered the ticket gate.

On the platform, Ryoko Miyabe looked towards Ichikawa.The high-speed tram has not come yet.There was a person between Takeuhachi Sukui and her, but his eyes were fixed on her.Although the rush hour for work has passed, the crowd is still chaotic.He wondered how he could strike up a conversation with her.If you don't make it right, saying something unreasonable will waste all your previous efforts.Find a natural and reasonable excuse. The tram is coming.Takehachi Suchii followed Ryoko Miyabe into the tram.He saw an empty seat in the middle of the car, so he squeezed over and sat down.He hoped that Ryoko Miyabe could come to him.But Yoshiko Miyabe pulled the ring and stayed far away from him.

He opened a weekly magazine, but his eyes were fixed on her back.Ten minutes later, the train arrived at Akihabara Station.There was an empty seat in the other corner of the carriage, and Ryoko Miyabe sat down. Maybe she got off at Iida Bridge?There is not much time left, and I must find a reason to talk to her. Takehachi Sochii stood up, walked up to Ryoko Miyabe and pulled the ring.But Ryoko Miyabe didn't notice anything, she closed her eyes. Looking at it from above, it is a lovely face, which looks a little tired due to continuous work every day.She is on night shift, and she closed her eyes to rest her mind due to lack of sleep.

From time to time there is the smell of perfume.Of course, a cheap perfume. The stations in order were Ochanomizu, Suidobashi... Takehachi Sotsui wanted to talk to her, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse.At this time, the tram arrived at Iida Bridge, and she got off. She walked from the platform to the ticket gate, still surrounded by a chaotic crowd. After exiting the ticket gate, she came to the sunny street and entered a teahouse. Takehachi Suzui thought: Maybe she had a date with someone before going to work!He also followed in. The shop wasn't very crowded, and there was no one else at the table she was sitting at.Takehachi Sokui sat at the table diagonally opposite her.She took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead.

She ordered a soda, as if to soothe her throat.Bottom well looked around, but did not find anyone coming to the appointment. Takehachi Sochii went straight to Yoshiko Miyabe with a straw in her mouth.She felt a person in front of her and raised her head.Takehachi Sokui gave her a flattering smile. "Miss, I seem to have met you somewhere, and it really is you." He sat down opposite her generously. Ryoko Miyabe was taken aback.I can't remember where we met.Suddenly remembered, this is the man who showed her the photo last night: "I was rude last night." She smiled and bowed her head.She made no sound, nor exchanged pleasantries. "I'll have a soda, too!" he said to the clerk. "Are the invoices issued together?" "We can drive together." When Ryoko Miyabe was about to say something, Takeuchi Suijing stopped him and said: "Please allow me to pay!" He tried to be as polite as possible so as not to upset her. "Are you also from Kameido?" Ryoko Miyabe stopped drinking, and was a little surprised to hear Takehachi's words. "I came here from Kameido by the same train as you. I still wonder why there are people so similar? So we met each other! I live in Kameido, too." "Really?" Ryoko Miyabe seemed to understand the reason for the encounter. "Then maybe we take the same train every day! Where do you live in Kameido?" "Second District 408." She whispered. "I live in the opposite direction from you. Do you go to work at this time every day?" "yes." "It's hard work to come back very late every day!" At this point the waiter brought the soda and the bill for two and put it on the table.He hastily held the bill before him.Ryoko Miyabe glanced at it, a little embarrassed. "Do you also take the tram back at night?" "yes." "It's already late at Kameido Station! Isn't it scary to be alone?" "No, I'm used to it." "But you work too hard." He tried to make her feel good about him. "How many days off does your store have?" "Two days a month." "Let's hurry up on vacation!" "yes." Takehachi Sokui wanted to change the subject: "I have something to ask you. I asked the clerk of your store yesterday. Ah! Her name is A Miao. I saw a photo." Takehachi Sochii said this plainly, but Ryoko Miyabe was still shocked. "The person in the photo is a friend I'm looking for. Recently, he has been out of business. I don't know where he has gone, and he is not doing work. The family feels difficult. I asked me to find out his whereabouts. We work in a company. " Takehachi tried his best to make the other party understand that he was not a plainclothes policeman. Yoshiko Miyabe seemed relieved.This did not escape Takehachi's observation. "It's this man." He took out a photo of Yamazaki Jiro and put it on the table: "You have seen this man too!" She glanced at the photo and remained silent.This is the photo she saw the waitress brought last night. "That A Miao said that she had seen this person. When I wanted to inquire further, A Miao was sent out to work, so I couldn't continue to ask her. This man once came with a woman. I want to know who that woman is? Let me know if you know." "..." Ryoko Miyabe didn't answer, her eyes moved to the side with a confused expression. "The people in the shop who sent A Miao out last night wanted to keep her away from talking to me. I can tell." He looked at her blushing face and said, "Actually, this is It's understandable that the store didn't want to cause trouble. But it won't cause any trouble to your store or you. I just want to know the whereabouts of my friend. So who is the woman with him? " "It's hard to handle!" she said, bowing her head. "What? It's hard to handle? Could it be the customers who often come to the store?" "..." "Or a woman who lives nearby?" Her eyes quivered.what!I see, it must be a woman nearby.Probably a geisha, Yamazaki went to find a woman Okase Masahira was close to.Shan Zhi finds an excuse and calls that geisha into the restaurant to talk! "Is that woman a geisha?" Takehachi Suijing wanted to further confirm his idea. "I don't know about that." Ryoko Miyabe stood up suddenly: "It's already time for work, excuse me, please give me the bill, and I'll pay mine."
