Chapter 17 Section 17

Xingcheng confirmed the seating chart and led her to the seat.A table in the corner. "Please enjoy it slowly." "That..." Zuo Xuli looked around and said in a low voice, "Do I look strange? I came here alone." "Nothing, please don't worry about it." "However, everyone came with their companions, and it was a bit embarrassing for only one person to eat alone." "Is that so..." Looking around, Xingcheng thought for a moment, although he thought it was okay to eat alone, but young women might not mind it. "Mr. Hugami, have you eaten yet?" Saori asked.

"Not yet, I will have dinner together tonight. If you don't dine in the same environment as the guests, you won't be able to find the problem." As he said, Xingcheng suddenly realized, "If you want, can you dine with me? ? Anyway, I planned to dine alone. Of course, if you have no objection." Saori's expression brightened instantly. "Is this okay? I feel more at ease now, and I don't need to feel embarrassed." "Well, I'll ask the clerk to move the seat over later." Leaving Zuo Xuli's seat for a while, Xingcheng thought about whether his proposal was too brazen.Worrying about whether she was really happy, or whether it was difficult to refuse his request.

It was six o'clock, and after the manager's brief opening remarks, it was time for the meal.The first thing to serve is a variety of cold dishes.Each portion is small, aiming to allow everyone to taste as many dishes as possible. Zuo Xu nodded slightly as he savored the dishes, thoughtfully.This attitude made Xingcheng very fond of it. "Is there anything you care about?" Xing Cheng asked. "No, it's very delicious." "It's hard to tell the truth in front of me. After the meal, we have prepared a questionnaire, so please write down your feelings frankly there. No matter how sharp criticism is, it's fine."

"Sharp, how is it possible..." She nodded with a smile, "However, it's rare to invite me to participate, and I will express my opinion directly." "please." Xingcheng bowed his head in thanks and sighed sincerely: She really is not an ordinary woman.Other women usually use cliché social phrases.He felt that instead of saying the old-fashioned scenes, it showed her inner strength and honesty. "Your father wasn't here tonight?" Zuosuri asked. "Yes." Xingcheng replied decisively, "Tonight's tasting session is planned for myself, and has nothing to do with my father. The guests I invite are also decided by me."

"That's it." "Do you have something to do with your father?" "No, no." She shook her head and looked up at Xingcheng, "The original store of 'Togami Pavilion' was in Yokohama?" "Well, it's located between Sakuragi Town and Hinode Town." "At that time, have you ever been to Yokosuka?" "Yokosuka? Oh, I haven't been there. What's the matter?" "Nothing, I have friends there." "That's it." Xingcheng nodded, thinking about why he asked Zhengxing, why he suddenly mentioned Yokosuka.

In order to discuss things with the store manager, he got up and left.At this time, a woman stopped him, a regular customer from early on. "Hey, who is that lady? She is really a beautiful lady, Mr. Xingcheng's lover?" Xingcheng shook his hands in a panic. "Nothing, just a guest." "However, it's not like that to stand aside and watch. Mr. Xingcheng, it's almost time for you to fall in love. Your mother and I also mentioned this." "No, it's really not like that. Please forgive me." Breaking out in cold sweat, Xingcheng ran away from the woman.However, he was not in a bad mood.Is it possible for a woman like her to develop further?Such thoughts flashed through my mind.

Dishes were served on the table one after another, and finally came the last dish of beef diced rice.Xingcheng felt a little nervous and watched the guests present, he didn't want to miss the appearance of the guests when they were tasting. The response from guests has been fantastic.Occasionally heard: "This is the first time I have eaten such delicious diced beef rice." The stone that Xingcheng was hanging on fell down, looking around the audience, he was stunned for an instant. Saori looked a little abnormal.His face was pale and his expression was stiff.His bloodshot eyes stared blankly, tears began to overflow uncontrollably.

After stopping the mobile game, Taifu confirmed the time.It's almost eight o'clock.It has been two hours since the tasting session started, and it should be almost over.Thinking about it, he turned off the game and threw the phone on the passenger seat.Leaning on the driver's seat, he looked at the building diagonally ahead—the building where the Hiroo store of "Togami Tei" was located. As before, he was waiting for Jing Nai to come out.In case she and Hushen Xingcheng still have arrangements, he plans to follow.However, there is probably no show tonight.According to Taifu's experience, there are two types of men who alienate women.First, I am unpopular, and no matter how hard I try, I will not be favored by the opposite sex; second, I am devoted to other things with enthusiasm, and have little contact with the opposite sex.

Generally speaking, the former is quite aggressive towards women who approach them proactively.I didn't have the courage to take the initiative to invite, so I had to wait with a cheeky face.To catch this type of man, for Shizuna to pinch the snail with three fingers and close her eyes, there will be no mistakes.It is also quite simple to cheat the money, without much effort. However, Hugami Xingcheng clearly belongs to the latter.Tonight, he took the initiative to invite Jing Nai out of work needs.Although he doesn't dislike her, he is afraid that he will stubbornly limit this feeling to the scope of work.I'm afraid he never thought of inviting her after the tasting or anything.Of course, it is impossible for him to think that he will be invited by her.There was no room for these thoughts in his mind.

"It seems that even Jing finds it a little tricky this time." Before going out, Taifu said to Gongyi. "Maybe." Gong nodded in agreement. Koichi seems to have been to Yokohama a few days ago.Went to the origin of "Togami Pavilion" and collected some information about the Togami administration. "As expected." Gong Yi said.When the incident happened, Masayuki Togami was supposed to be busy with the store, and there was no reason to go to the western restaurant in Yokosuka to break into the house and kill people.And there is no trace to show that "Togami-tei" and "Ariake" are involved.

Taifu believes in his brother's investigative and analytical abilities.Since my brother said so, it must be true. However-- That night, that place, the shock of seeing Togami Masahyuki's face still lingers in Taisuke's chest.Indeed, after 14 years, the memory will be a little blurred and people will change.He understood all of this, but he still couldn't separate the murderer's face from Togami Masashiki's face, there was no slight difference between the two faces, they were astonishingly similar as if they were copies. Taifu shook his head, deciding not to think about it at this time, if he is uneasy, it may hinder Shizuna's hind legs. Looking at the building again, Togami Yukinari appeared.Taisu jumped up in surprise.Jing Nai stood beside Xing Cheng, and his hands touched Jing Nai's back back and forth. The light turned green and the two began to cross the road.Taifu thought: If it was just a gift, there would be no reason for Xingcheng to stay with him. Jing Nai kept her head down, looking listless, she didn't look like she was drunk. Crossing the road, Xingcheng waved his arms.A black taxi pulled up and the back door opened. "No way." Taifu started the engine while thinking.He guessed right, Xing Cheng followed Jing Nai and got into the back seat of the car. As soon as the taxi moved, Taifu followed closely behind.He grabbed the mobile phone on the passenger seat with his left hand, and kept looking around to see if there was a patrol car. "What's wrong?" Gong Yi asked unexpectedly.He never expected to receive a call from Taifu at this time. "Jing and Xingcheng left the store together. Moreover, the two took a taxi." "Only 2 people left the store?" "Well, I didn't see anyone else. That guy Xingcheng has been touching Jing's back." "That's weird." "What's strange. Jing finally captured this guy." "However, the other guests haven't left yet, isn't it strange? Xingcheng should wait until the tasting session is over to do these things. It's impossible for him to leave earlier than the other guests." The analysis makes sense.It was really calm.Taifu admired. "Where is the car going?" Gong Yi asked. "We've arrived at Roppongi. We're headed for Tateike." "Keep following, and never get lost." "Understood. If you want to go to a HOTEL or LOVE HOTEL, use the old method." In such a situation, he would call Jing Nai and inform her that her parents were in an accident.Hearing this, no one should try to keep her. "It can be. But I don't think this will happen." Gong Yi said, "Anyway, follow carefully." "Understood", Taifu hung up the phone. The taxi Shizuna and the others took passed through Uchibori Avenue and Kaji Bridge Avenue to Shinohashi Avenue.Seeing the situation, Taifu guessed seven or eight points.The taxi was obviously heading towards Nihonbashi, and Shizuna's residence was in Nihonbashi Hamamachi. Cross the intersection in front of Shuitiangong and turn left.The destination seemed beyond doubt.Xingcheng intends to take her home. The taxi stopped in front of a dark gray building.Xingche got out of the car, and afterward, Jing Nai also got off.Taifu stared at the two of them.If Xingcheng wants to enter her room, he must take corresponding measures. However, Xingcheng and Jing Nai said goodbye, and took the taxi again.After watching the car go away, Jing Nai walked into the building. Taifu parked the car by the side of the road, turned off the engine, got out of the car, and walked quickly to the building. Just in case, Taifu prepared the key to the door of Jingna's apartment.He unlocked the latch and stepped inside.Shizuna's room is on the fifth floor.While waiting for the elevator, he paced back and forth non-stop. When he reached the door of 503, he kept ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door.He doesn't have a room key. Shizuna was sitting in the middle of the floor of the one-room room, her coat still on.Hearing the sound, she turned to Taifu with a pale face. "Ah, brother Tai..." "What happened?" Taifu took off his shoes and walked into the room, "Why did Hushen send you back, are you uncomfortable?" Shiina shook her head. "No. I'm sorry, I let the plan go awry." "Frozen? What's the matter? Explain carefully." Taifu sat down casually beside Jing Nai, staring at her face, he said in surprise, "Jing, have you ever cried?" The makeup on the corners of her eyes was a little faded. "I tried my best to bear it, but I still couldn't help crying. I'm really sorry." "What happened? Answer me." Taifu kept tapping his knees. Jing Nai frowned, biting her lips.Seeing this, Taifu became more and more anxious. "Quiet, that's enough!" "Rice with diced beef." "Eh?"
