"I'm sorry during my busy schedule." Bai Yuan said, "What do you want to drink?" "No, I just drank coffee. Speaking of which, what's the matter?" After the two looked at each other, Hagimura spoke. "About your father's foreign food shop, does he have any contacts with his colleagues?" "Coming together? Do you mean people from other restaurants?" "No, someone who runs a restaurant like your father." "Is it a foreign restaurant...?" Gong Yi thought for a while, "I heard that he complained about other stores, so I don't know if he has any contacts."

"Complain? How do you say it?" "It's so unpalatable and the price is so expensive. I can only see whether it's edible or not. Sorry, I don't remember clearly." "Is there a store named 'Togami Pavilion' among them?" Hearing Hagimura's question, Koichi's heart beat faster.Finally, the police knew of Togami Masashiki's existence.However, he pretended to be calm and shook his head. "Hushenting... No, I haven't heard of it." To be honest, Hagimura was very disappointed when he heard Koichi's answer.But after thinking about it, there is no way to do this, after all, it has been fourteen years.In addition, he was only a primary school student at the time, so it was rare to have a clear understanding of his father's circle of friends.

"Have you only heard him complain about other foreign food restaurants? Did you mention the address of the store, the staff there, etc.? It doesn't matter how small the details are." Hearing Hagimura's words, Kou folded his hands in front of his chest, looking thoughtful.Suddenly, he looked at them in disbelief. "This is related to the case? Is the prisoner a colleague?" No, no, Hagimura waved his hands in a panic. "It is impossible to say for sure at the moment, but it is very likely that it has something to do with colleagues. That's why we want to ask you."

"Have you found a new clue?" Koichi looked back and forth at Hagi Village and Kashiwahara and asked, "Can you tell me?" This is a difficult question for the police.Personally, Hagimura also wants to inform the victim's children of the progress of the case.However, he cannot guarantee that these children will not leak information. It may be more convenient for them to use the power of the media to find criminals. However, the police must prevent the children of victims from harming suspects. "Speaking of which," Koichi continued. "The last time I saw a gold watch, it was written to celebrate the opening of the new store of 'Ariake'. What did you find?"

Just as Hagi Village was thinking about how to answer him, "That's right." Kashiwahara replied. "That watch was stolen from somewhere. The question is why there is this watch in that place. Trying to investigate the relevant personnel there, I found this foreign food shop. It is not clear how it is related to the case. Maybe they It has nothing to do with it. We are interested simply because it is a western restaurant. I can’t tell you the details yet.” Hagi Village couldn't help admiring Kashiwahara's exquisite explanation.That is, the key parts are hidden, and the search process is conveyed.

After Koichi frowned and pondered for a moment, he stretched his expression and looked at Hagi Village. "I just mentioned the transfer of Shenting. I haven't heard of this name from my father. So it's this store that the police are investigating now?" Hagimura nodded. "However, as Mr. Kashiwara said, it is still unclear, and it may have nothing to do with the case. So don't have strange ideas. Trust us, just wait for us to bring the criminal to justice." Gong Yi smiled wryly. "It's not trying to get ahead of the police. I just want to understand the purpose of these questions so that I can think carefully... that's all."

"I see," Hagimura said. "Well, what's the matter. Ah, yes, I just asked Dad if he mentioned other foreign food restaurants." Gongyi rested his chin and pursed his lips, as if he was searching for the memories of that long childhood. "Did you mention the characteristics of other stores?" Hagimura asked. "feature?" "For example, are there any strange services provided?" After hearing Hagimura's words, Kou shook his shoulders and smiled. "How does a foreign restaurant provide strange services?" "It's just an analogy."

Service, smacking the word, Gong changed back to a serious expression. "Speaking of it, it seems that I mentioned a food delivery shop." "Deliver food?" "My family doesn't deliver food because there are not enough people. The place my father frequents has been ordering food. Maybe I ate the unpalatable diced beef rice there. My father will definitely criticize me mercilessly." Hagimura thought to himself while listening: It doesn't seem to be saying "Togami Pavilion".The diced beef rice bowl there is very popular.Moreover, if Ke Zhiyun came, he would not have the time to deliver food at all.

"Where are you going?" Bai Yuan asked. "Ok?" "Your father, where is the place you frequent? If you open a store, don't you have time to go out often?" "That's right, but we have a rest every Sunday." As he spoke, Koichi seemed to realize something, and opened his mouth. "What's wrong?" Hagimura asked. Gongyi lowered his head, biting his lips in embarrassment. "What's wrong?" Hearing Hagimura's question again, he raised his head. "That's it, Jockey. I think he's off to gamble." "Ah... a gambling organization."

Gong nodded. "I didn't know it was this kind of store at the time. I remember it was my father who came back from betting on the horses and said it was about takeaway." Hmm, Hagimura nodded.When it comes to the gambling organization, he lacks interest. He found out four years ago that this case has nothing to do with the gambling organization. He looked towards Bai Yuan, startled.He stared at himself seriously, as if he wanted to convey something. "What's wrong?" Hagimura asked. "No, it's nothing. He's also very busy, let's call it a day. Let's think about the Western Food House."

"Ah...then, let's do this." Hagi Village sensed Kashiwahara's intentions.He seemed to have noticed an important clue, but he couldn't say it directly in front of Gong Yi. "Then, let's call it a day. Thank you very much." Hagimura said to Koichi. "Is that all right?" Gong Yi, who was suddenly interrupted, looked blank. "I will contact you again, but it is troublesome. Thank you today." Well, Gong got up and left while nodding his head. "Didn't you get in touch with your younger brother?" Bai Yuan asked, "Remember his name is Taifu. You said you haven't met now, do you know where he lives?" Kouichi showed a painful expression as if he had been stepped on a sore spot, and he scratched the back of his ear. "If you want to find it, there is no way..." "Never contacted once? Maybe he will be asked to assist in the investigation." "It's been fourteen years, that guy probably forgot the prisoner's face." "About this, I want to confirm." Gong Yi blinked in confusion, then agreed in a low voice. "I tried to find him. I just thought he might have changed his number." "Look for it. Besides, I think it's better for you." Hearing Kashiwahara's words, Gong Yi thought for a moment, then said "I'll go first" and left. "Why don't you meet your brother?" Hagimura asked as Koichi disappeared from sight. "When my younger brother came out of the orphanage, they lived together. However, he couldn't bear the fact that his younger brother was always not working seriously, so they parted ways. I don't know the details." "Where's my sister?" "I was not a parent in the first place, and I lost contact after leaving the orphanage." "That's it." The figures of the three of them when they were young appeared in Hagi Village's mind.The little girl who looked out of place, the younger brother who was stimulated to keep silent, and the older brother who tried his best to hold back his tears so that the two of them could not see his weakness.As he thought of what they had lost, the thought came to him: this case must not be let go. "Speaking of which, after hearing what you just said, what do you think of?" Bai Yuan asked. "A case of a gambling organization?" No... Mr. Kashiwahara, what did you notice? "Isn't the activity place of that gambling organization in Sakuragi Town?" "Sakuragi-cho...is that so? I just remember it's a coffee shop, but I can't remember the name. In Sakuragi-cho, it's next to that DVD shop." "Go and confirm." Bai Yuan stood up imposingly. When Taifu walked into Shizuna's room, she was gesturing in a blue dress in front of the full-length mirror. "What are you doing?" "Choose clothes to wear to Togami's house. Now, which one is better, a suit or a dress?" "It's all right. Speaking of which, is the date fixed?" "Wait for his notice. If you hurry up, next weekend." Tai Fu faintly felt that the title "he" was a bit awkward.However, he couldn't tell where the strangeness was. "My brother said as soon as possible. Just now, the Kashiwahara police called, and my brother went to see him. Probably the police have started to focus on 'Togami Pavilion'." "That's it, then, we must hurry up." Jing Nai threw the dress in her hand on the bed, compared it with the suit just placed there, and sat on the floor, "After going to Togami's house to complete the recipe battle, my task It's done too." "That's right. My brother said that I will hand it over to the police. Everything is going according to plan. My brother is really amazing." Jing Nai didn't answer, she compared the clothes placed side by side on the bed expressionlessly.Then she sighed and shrugged.
