Chapter 21 Section 21

"The store is not big, but there are so many pillars. When I was a child, I thought these were quite in the way, and I thought that customers would not like them. Once, I saw an interesting scene." Jing Nai, who is pure and full of interest, stares at Xing Cheng intently. "A young couple came to dine. That day, I was having dinner at the counter, and I inadvertently cast my eyes on the couple, and saw the man start to move around for some reason. Looking carefully, I found that he seemed to be holding a small The box was hidden under the table. After a while, he looked around in a panic, and slowly brought it to the table. It was a ring box."

Imagining this scene in her mind, Jing Nai nodded.A bridge that often appears in TV dramas. "Actually, I couldn't see his face clearly from my position because there was a pillar in the middle. Therefore, he didn't notice me from the beginning to the end. If there is no pillar, he must be aware of my sight, maybe There is no such romantic move. At this moment, I understand the role of the pillar." "Really nice experience." "At that time, there were many pillars in the 'Togami Pavilion' just because the previous store decoration was inherited intact. There was insufficient funds and no money to remove the pillars. It can be said that it was wrong. But, for me, this episode is unforgettable. I took over by myself When I was in the store, I always thought about how to let couples exchange gifts without being watched by others."

Looking at Xingcheng's nose fluttering and saying these things, Jing Nai couldn't help sighing: This man really likes this job.No, I really like to let people have a good time at Western food restaurants.The mind is full of these.Whatever you see or hear, you will definitely think of this.She really envied such a person who lived a simple life without evil thoughts. A staff member approached and whispered something in Xingcheng's ear.Xingcheng put away his smile, and looked at Jing Nai after explaining a few words. "Sorry, excuse me a little bit." "Please feel free." Jing Nai replied.

Watching Xingcheng and the staff discussing while pointing to the flat design drawings, after a while, Jing Nai looked at the store again, imagining the appearance after completion and the appearance of customers.Although it is not yet clear how the interior decoration and lighting will be handled, she designed it herself and drew a blueprint in her mind.Xingcheng wants to create a store that couples can visit easily.So, what kind of atmosphere is better? Walking along the wall, she thought about what kind of paintings to hang.Regardless of the solemn and solemn paintings, it is better to see the paintings that will make you feel at ease...

Thinking of this, Jing Nai stopped in her tracks. "What the hell am I doing!" she asked herself.I don't know what will happen to this store, but if Xingcheng's business fails, it will be a good thing.These are not the things that should be considered now. After Koichi perfectly reproduced the "Togami-tei" or "Ariake" diced beef with rice, the three discussed their future plans. "In short, we need to find evidence." Gong Yi said. "On the night of the incident, 99% of the man Taifu witnessed was Togami Masashiyuki. However, the police will not take action just because they look similar. We must find evidence that the guy is the criminal."

"But, that guy should have stolen 'Ariake''s recipe, shouldn't he? Just use that as proof?" Facing Taifu's questioning, Gong Yi shook his head. "It wasn't stolen, it couldn't be stolen." "why?" "The thing that memorizes the recipe is the notebook I'm holding. It's unique. If the guess is correct, Togami should have directly asked Dad 'Ariake' how to make rice with diced beef." "It's also possible. Then, Togami Masashiyuki and Dad should know each other. That man is the murderer I witnessed with my own eyes. Isn't that enough?"

However, Koichi didn't nod. "Even if the taste of the diced beef rice is similar, we have no evidence to prove that they knew each other. The use of that bottle of soy sauce may be justified as a coincidence." "Is there such a coincidence? And the taste is not similar, but exactly the same!" "I don't think it's such a coincidence, but that's all, the police won't arrest him." "What is the evidence that proves that Togami is the criminal, for example?" Shizuna asked Koichi. Koichi folded his hands in front of his chest and whispered:

"Let me be clear, it is very difficult to find evidence now. Anyway, it has been 14 years. I have tried to investigate the alibi. Even if I find Hu Shen without an alibi, I can't insist that he is the murderer. Plus Above, the police did not find any fingerprints or leftover items of the prisoners." "Then, just raise your hand and surrender?" Taifu's voice became sharp. "I haven't given up, and there will definitely be a way. In short, first investigate what Togami Masashiki did 14 years ago. As you said just now, Togami must be related to 'Ariake'. First, aim at this breakthrough." As he said that, Gong Yi looked at Jing Nai sharply, "It all depends on Jing Nai."

Jing Nai nodded silently.Needless to say, she is the closest to Togami Masashiyuki among the three. "What if the evidence is found?" Taifu asked, "Give it to the police?" For this question, Gongyi did not immediately answer.He frowned and fell into a brief silence. "elder brother……" "It depends on the content." Koichi said, "It depends on the evidence we find. If it is evidence that makes it clear that the criminal is Togami Masahiro, we can send an anonymous letter to the police." "What if you can't find it?" Jing Nai asked, "What if it's not conclusive evidence? Tell the police too?"

"That's the only way to do it—right." Taifu asked his brother's consent. "It's not conclusive evidence. I don't know if the police will take action. Even if they do, it may be a warning." "Why don't we investigate further?" "No, it can't be like this." "why?" Koichi looked back and forth at Taisuke and Shizuna. "When the police received the tip, we had to get away from Togami's surroundings. Think about it. The police will definitely trace the identity of the whistleblower. It is speculated that the person is around Togami Masashiyuki. Then we will Suspect the young woman who recently appeared next to his son Xingcheng."

"This is bad?" As soon as Taifu finished speaking, Gongyi sighed in a daze. "What do the police think about women who approach Xingcheng with false names? And fake gem dealers." "We are the children of the victims! We approached them in order to catch Hushen's pigtail." "Then why did you notice Hushen?" "This, there is always a way." "Answer well. How are you going to explain to the police?" Facing Koichi's questioning, Taifu fell silent in a dejected manner.Gongyi continued: "Don't forget that we are fraudsters! I don't know when we will be targeted by the police. Why do we install warning lights on the entrance door, don't you know?" "I know everything. So, what should we do? If we can't find conclusive evidence that Togomi is the criminal..." "At that time...you can only use secret moves." Gong Yi said in a barely distinguishable voice. "Secret move?" Jing Nai asked, "What is that?" "It can't be said yet. This is the last resort, and I don't want to use it at this stage. In short, we only need to consider finding evidence now." Afterwards, Gong Yi stared at the two of them. "Let me reiterate to you that the plan has been completely changed. The prey is not Hushen Xingcheng, but his father's administration. The target is not the 10 million, but the evidence of the Ariake couple's murder. Needless to say, this is by far the largest The prey. A level, no, super A level. Only success!" The voice of Koichi swearing loudly still lingers in Shizuna's ears.The hatred that has been deposited for 14 years is finally expected to be cleared. "The first thing to investigate is the relationship between Togami Masashiyuki and 'Ariake'." Koichi suggested, "If we thoroughly investigate the events of 14 years ago, we will definitely find his connection with 'Ariake'." Jing Nai readjusted her mood.Can't follow the pace of Xingcheng.What should we do if we talk about this with him selflessly? After discussing with the staff, Xingcheng came back with a smile on his lips. "It's been a long time. The material of the counter seems to be different from what was specified." "Isn't that bad?" "No way. Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is not to repeat them. Right?" Looking at Xingcheng with a toothy smile, Jing Nai felt an inexplicable emotion floating in her heart.What exactly is it?She doesn't know either. When I walked out of the "Togami-tei" Azabu Juban store, which was being renovated, the sky had gradually turned dark.Walking along the road, Xingcheng suddenly remembered something and turned to Jing Nai. "Speaking of which, you said you wanted to listen to anecdotes about your father. The anecdotes about when your father first opened the store." Shiina smiled wryly. "Well. I was going to listen to you while visiting the new store." Xingcheng scratched the back of his head and looked up at the sky. "I'm sorry, I completely forgot. I was only thinking about myself... I'm really sorry." "No apologies. Still, I'm interested in those." "I'll tell you everything. Then, let's go back to the store." Xing Cheng turned around and began to circle up the stairs. "That... do you want to go back?" "Because we made an appointment to talk about this while visiting the store." "However, it has been looked at quite carefully in the shop." "Ah, it seems so." Xingcheng stopped and scratched the back of his head, "Then, what should we do?" Seeing the helpless Xingcheng, Jing Nai couldn't help laughing.Normally, she would definitely be restless, but for some reason, there is no such sign today. This man is really slow.She sighed again.Other than being comfortable at work, he has absolutely no idea how to build relationships. Dominate the situation yourself.Shiina judged. "Well, I think it's good to chat while eating." "Dinner? Ah, yes, that sounds good. When will it be?" "This..." (囧) "Hmm...let me think about my plans for this week." Xing Cheng frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face. "Mr. Hugami, do you have any plans for tonight?" "Tonight, no, nothing special..." He said, as if he noticed something, he looked at his watch, "Yes, we can go to dinner now. But, are you free?" "Ok." "Then find a restaurant to eat, it's almost time." "OK." "Then it's decided. Which store is better?" Xingcheng, who was walking down the stairs, walked forward while thinking, looking at Xingcheng's back, Jing Nai thought to herself: He is really a good person who troubles others, but she didn't feel any discomfort in her heart.
