Chapter 43 Section 43

Kashiwahara looked around and sat down casually at the small table. "Aren't you going to marry that woman?" Gong Yi smiled wryly and shook his head. "Let's not talk about me first, the other party probably hasn't considered these things." "How old is the other party?" "Twenty-three... No, twenty-four. We've only known each other for about half a year." Gong Yi took out a bottle of oolong tea from the refrigerator and poured it into two glasses. "Well, maybe it's too early to talk about marriage." Bai Yuan continued to look around the room.

There was no trace of Taifu staying in this room.They have been cautious ever since they engaged in fraud.In this case, even if the police come to hunt Taifu, Koichi can lie that he doesn't know his brother's whereabouts. Koichi concealed from Kashiwahara the fact that he lived with Taisuke and met Shizuna frequently.He never wanted the two of them to have anything to do with the police. "Speaking of which, what's the matter?" Gongyi asked, putting the glass of oolong tea on the table. "Thank you." Bai Yuan said and took a sip. "Did you get in touch with your brother later?"

Sure enough, I came here for this matter, Gong thought about it. "Not yet. Although I intend to find him, there is still no news." "I don't know if I have a good life." "Who knows." Gong Yi said. "That guy is always fooling around. I don't think he will work hard. I blamed him several times for this, but he cut off the news in a fit of anger. Maybe he was worried that he would be reprimanded again when we met." "Because you have been their protector since childhood." Bai Yuan sighed. "Do you need his testimony?" Koichi asked.

"Perhaps. It's too early to say." "A few days ago, I heard that the investigation seemed to be progressing a bit. What happened next?" Bai Yuan wrinkled his face and whispered, "Hmm..." "We did find a lot of clues, and we searched around them. But we couldn't find any key evidence. After all, it's been fourteen years." "Anyone suspicious?" Bai Yuan did not simply nod. "It's not easy to say, it's just a reference stage. I haven't found the relationship between him and 'Ariaki' yet. To be honest, there is nothing I can do."

"If there is such a person, why not try to search the house?" "Search the house?" Bai Yuan's eyes suddenly became serious, "Why?" "Maybe he secretly hid evidence related to the case. Is it easy to find this soon?" Kashiwahara's sharp eyes fixed on Koichi.Then, he quickly narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth slowly. "It still makes sense after the incident. At this time, I don't think the criminal will keep evidence. I'm afraid it has been disposed of long ago." "What if it can't be dealt with? For example, something valuable to the prisoner."

"Value? Money, gold jewelry, or something?" "More than that... Isn't the value of items different from person to person? Things that are worthless to others may be regarded as treasures by some people. Therefore, it is not impossible for the criminal to steal this." However, Kashiwahara still hesitated to speak. "What's going on?" He thought to himself. Gong Yi was a little anxious, and the search work seemed to have really come to a halt.Only an active police investigation would have been able to find such evidence. After taking a deep breath, Gong Yi opened his mouth.

"The last time we met, you asked me if I knew 'Hushen Pavilion'." Bai Yuan raised his head, "What do you remember?" "No. After that, I was a little concerned about that store and did some research on my own." "Hey, hey, please spare me. You must have taken care of me at that time. I don't know if it's related to that store. Don't feel strange, and leave it to the police." Bai Yuan's words were full of superfluous to Gong Yi. blame for things. "No big moves, just searched on the Internet and went to the store to eat once."

After listening to Koichi's explanation, Kashiwahara eased his stern face. "There's no point in doing this. When we need your help, we'll speak up. So, don't bother." "I know. I don't want to interfere with the search. I just want to say one thing, that is, my impressions of dining at 'Togami Pavilion'." "How do you feel?" Bai Yuan was a little surprised, "What do you care about?" "I had diced beef rice bowl at the main store in Yokohama. It was very similar." "And what?" "The taste of my restaurant is very similar to the diced beef rice bowl made by my father. Although it is not exactly the same, I think it is only slightly adjusted."

These feelings are, of course, lies.Gong went to the main store of "Hushenting" in Guannei to eat rice with diced beef.The slight adjustment of the "Ariake" diced beef rice bowl at the earliest restaurant in Sakuragi-cho is just Koichi's guess. "That is to say, the diced beef rice bowl is connected with your store and 'Togami Pavilion'?" "Exactly. But maybe I'm thinking too much." "Well, rice with diced beef..." Bai Yuan's eyes wandered away. So, there may be a recipe for "Ariake" hidden somewhere in Togami's house.Although Koichi wanted to point out that, he still held back.

Taisuke picked up Shizuna near Tokyo Station.He drove the pickup truck towards the building in Monzen-Nakacho.Sitting in the passenger seat, she silently looked out the window. "Why are you so stern? The battle was successful, so let's be happier." Taifu, who was steering the steering wheel, said. "I'm just a little tired. Sneaking into the enemy's house will naturally make you tired." Jing Nai replied lazily. "That's right. I think you seem to have something on your mind." "No. Haven't said everything, everything is over."

Well, Taifu replied, closing his mouth.He couldn't think of what to say to break the deadlock. She is really in pain!He silently speculated.Not only would he never see the man he truly fell in love with, but he would also bear the infamy of trapping his family.I can't even put on a fake smile. Parked the car in the parking lot, and the two walked into the building.After stepping on three steps, the two faced the door of the room.Jing Nai remained silent. Stand at the door of Room 305.He took the key out of his pocket and approached the lock. Just about to insert it, Shizuna reached out and grabbed Taisuke's wrist. "Why." He asked, Jing Nai shook her head, put her index finger in front of her lips, and pointed to the door with the other finger. After seeing that, Taisu was startled.A light-emitting diode the size of a grain of rice lights up. Swallowing his saliva, he looked at Jing Nai.After nodding, the two tiptoed back to the corridor. "Interesting idea." Bai Yuan looked thoughtful, "As expected of a chef's son, he also pays special attention. No, it should be said that his tongue is also different from ordinary people. You said that diced beef is served with rice The taste is similar." Bai Yuan said in a teasing tone, but his eyes were full of seriousness. "Can it be used as a search clue?" Gong Yi asked. "Who knows. Taste is such a subjective thing." "Yes. The taste depends on the production process and the choice of materials. If there are similarities between the two, can it be speculated that there is a relationship? Even if it is beef diced rice, each restaurant makes it differently, and the taste is also very different. , Each has its own world. The most important part is the secret recipe. If the taste is so similar, does it mean that the secret recipe is also the same?” Gong Yi felt that he was telling the truth.Anyway, if Kashiwahara failed to understand this hint, things would be tricky. Bai Yuan clasped his hands in front of his chest and nodded slowly. "Understood. I will keep these words in mind first. Maybe there will be a breakthrough in the case in the future." The policeman replied with an ambiguous attitude. Gong Yi couldn't help being very anxious about this, but it would be too dangerous to go deeper. "However, I'm so sorry that you gave me some advice, but I'm really sorry. It's just that I'm a little confused about whether the current search is going in the right direction." Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Gong Yi frowned: "What's going on?" "I just said that we found clues. Not to mention that in the past 14 years, no matter how hard the police searched for clues, they found nothing. Due to an accident, we came to this point, and then evidence appeared one after another. So, we started to start again with great enthusiasm. investigative work. However, as the search progressed, I wondered whether these leads could be trusted." Gong Yi smiled and shook his head, feeling his facial expression become stiff. "That's strange. Weren't all these clues found by the police? Or did new witnesses suddenly appear?" "It was indeed found by the police. You know the Hagi village police, he was the one who found it." "So, you doubt the clues you found by yourself? This is too unreasonable." "You're right. However, I'm just doubting the ins and outs of the clues. I have a vague feeling that there may be someone behind the scenes guiding the police's actions." Bai Yuan's faint words made Gong Yi feel hot all over, as if he was about to sweat profusely. "a?" "I don't know. It might be someone related to the case, or it might just be for fun. Anyway, I can't deny this possibility." Kashiwahara looked at Koichi intently.Feeling the gaze on his face that seemed to see through him, Gong Yi turned his head away impulsively.However, doing so in this situation may be in vain, and he tried to look back at him. "Why do you think so? Is there any clear basis?" "Based? No, it's just a matter of experience. It's really unnatural to find so many clues before the statute of limitations. Isn't this explanation unconvincing?" It is indeed an unacceptable reason.As far as Yu Gongyi is concerned, in order not to make the police feel unnatural, he has tried his best. "Moreover, physical evidence is still needed in the end." Bai Yuan said, "Even if the clues we have found so far are true, we still can't arrest anyone. Without conclusive physical evidence, we still haven't broken it. So, your brother's testimony can't be a Conclusive evidence." Koichi opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Why? Is my brother's testimony unreliable?" "It's been too long. If the other party's argument is that they just look alike, it's hard for us to refute it. To determine the real criminal in the case, we must need specific and objective evidence." Said, Bai Yuan looked at his watch, got up and said: "During the busy schedule Excuse me. Your lover won't come today?" "Ah... I probably won't come today." "Well, it's a pity. I'm still looking forward to waiting for her." After Kashiwahara put on his shoes at the entrance, he turned to Koichi. "I don't think it's good for you to be stuck in past cases. You're young, and you should think about the future. I'm probably wasting my time talking." "You're right." Koichi replied, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to do it. Think about the future and wait until the dust settles."
