Chapter 42 Section 42

It was already past nine o'clock at night when we arrived at Azabu Juban Station.It's already so late, it is estimated that there will not be too many customers in the store. The closing time of "KONAMO" is ten o'clock at night. Approaching the building, Kusanagi looked up at the overhanging staircase.A man and woman who looked like a couple were coming out of the store.After they went downstairs, Kusanagi began to climb up the stairs. Kusanagi opened the store door and looked into the store.The young clerk next to the cashier seemed to be about to say something, but swallowed it back.It seems that he still remembers Kusanagi.

"I'm so sorry, I'm interrupting again." fine.After speaking, the young clerk glanced at the back room.Masao Muroi was walking towards Kusanagi wearing a red apron. "My work here will be finished soon, could you please wait for me a moment?" "Well, you don't have to worry about me." Kusanagi sat down at an empty table beside him. There are three groups of customers left in the store.It seemed that the three groups of guests were all company employees.Every table is filled with draft beer bottles and sauce dishes. Kusanagi recalled the previous call to Yukawa.He and Tang Chuan had a total of two phone calls today.The first time Kusanagi called Yukawa in the evening.When Yu Chuan called last time, he told Kusanagi a cell phone number, saying that if he wanted to find him, he would call this number.From the looks of it, the cell phone probably belonged to someone who would often be with him.Kusanagi tried to hit it.After a few rings, it was Yu Chuan who answered the phone.

Kusanagi told Yukawa that Setsuko and Naruto seemed to be living in Ogiki when Shigeharu Kawahata went to Nagoya alone.As for the crime scene of Xianbo handsome, Kusanagi had already mentioned it to him during the previous phone call. "This is interesting. No matter from the point of view of time or location, the Kawahata mother and daughter and the Senba case happened roughly at the same coordinates." Yu Chuan expressed his opinion in his unique way. "I can't find out the current situation of Kawabata's family here. Can you find out the relationship between their family and Senba?"

"I can't tell, but I can try. Senba's wife and Shigeharu Kawabata are fellow villagers. If you simply think about it, it is very likely that the two know each other. But judging from what I heard just now, the case of Senba When it happened, Kawabata Shigeharu should not be in Tokyo. From this point of view, there may be a connection between Kawabata Setsuko and Senba.” "Very likely. What kind of person is Kawabata's wife?" "If you think she is a rustic aunt, then you are very wrong. Although she rarely puts on makeup, she doesn't feel the slightest bit of rustic flavor. Moreover, she looks younger than her actual age There are many. It is said that she left home very early and was wandering alone in Tokyo before she got married."

"A young woman wandering alone in Tokyo...wouldn't be working in a romantic place?" "Even if she's not in the Fengyue place, she must face all kinds of customers when she goes to work." "OK, then I'll leave it to you." After saying that, Kusanagi hung up the phone. Then, two hours ago, Yukawa called Kusanagi again. "I heard that I work in a snack bar." As soon as the connection was made, Tang Chuan immediately said. "snack bar?" "Before getting married, Setsuko worked in a snack bar in Tokyo, and it seems that she met Shigeharu Kawabata there. That shop seems to be a glass-style snack bar. It is estimated that Shigeji also wanted to try his hometown dishes. That's why I ran to that store."

"Hometown food..." Kusanagi followed suit.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and let out an ah. "What?" Tang Chuan asked. Kusanagi licked his lips and said, "Although I'm not as good as you, but sometimes I wake up to something." "Oh? Then I really want to hear what you have to say." "I'll let you know after confirmation." After finishing speaking, Kusanagi hung up the phone.Kusanagi wanted to come to "KONAMO" immediately, but because of the time, there should be a lot of customers in the store at that time, so Kusanagi has waited until now.

Masao Muroi walked towards Kusanagi while taking off his apron. "I kept you waiting for a long time." "I'm sorry to keep coming here to disturb you. I heard something yesterday, so I wanted to come over and check with you." "Uh, what's the matter?" "Yesterday you said that the late Miss Miyake and Hidetoshi Senba would often go to restaurants that serve local dishes. According to this, would they go to restaurants with glass flavor?" "Glass?" Muroi put his hand on his forehead and thought for a while.Afterwards, he slapped his thigh vigorously and said: "Yes. There is a glass-flavored restaurant over there in Ginza, and the two of them do go there often. The local products that Xianbo brought back that time seemed to be dry noodles and the like s things."

"Dried noodles? Could it be seaweed udon?" Kusanagi asked.After talking on the phone with Yukawa, Kusanagi immediately looked up glass souvenirs online. "Ah, that's right. It's that thing." Muroi's expression suddenly became cheerful. There is no doubt that Hidetoshi Senba will often go to the store where Setsuko Kawabata works.Not only Xianbo, but Nobuko Miyake who was killed by him may also know Setsuko. At this moment, someone sent a text message to Kusanagi's cell phone.The sender is Kaoru Utsumi.After opening the text message, Kusanagi couldn't help but widen his eyes.The text message said: I have found the hospital where Xian Bo was admitted.I'll go back right away.
