"It's this necklace, that's right." Xiao Chuan said with a straight face after seeing the photo that Wei Fang took out.It was obvious that he wanted to end the conversation as quickly as possible, he was tired of it. Ogata of the Tamagawa Police Station came to SIRUKI with his young colleague Sang Ye, and they were greeted by Manager Ogawa.Ogawa did not hide his indifference to the police who were not guests who visited during the peak dining hours. "It must be Qingjiang who came?" "I remember this name...wait a moment." Xiao Chuan walked inside and quickly brought out a slip, "Yes, it's Shinichiro Aoe. Ask him to write down his name and contact information."

Wei Fang looked at it, and it was indeed Qing Jiang's name. "When did Qing Jiang forget the necklace here?" "It should have been two weeks ago. It fell to the ground and was discovered by a clerk." "The clerk is..." "His name is Yoshioka." "Are you there now? If it's convenient, I want to ask him some questions." Ogawa's face stretched even longer. "Now?" "Please." Wei Fang bowed his head deeply, and Sang Ye next to him hurriedly followed suit. Ogawa sighed and asked the waiter next to him to call Yoshioka. "What happened? What happened to that necklace?" he asked impatiently again.

"Something." Wei Fang was vague.This seemed to make Xiao Chuan even more unhappy, and he twisted his mouth. A young waiter came over, who looked about twenty years old. "He is Yoshioka. Can I go?" Ogawa asked. "Sorry, I still have something to ask you." Ogata crossed his hands and gestured to Ogawa, then turned his gaze to Yoshioka. "It was you who found this necklace?" He took out the photo again. "Yes." Yoshioka nodded. "When was it discovered? We'd like to know the exact date, if we can." "Uh..." Yoshioka scratched his head and looked at the calendar above the cashier next to him, "It should be on November 18th or 19th."

"I heard it was dropped on the floor. Do you know who dropped it?" "Impossible to know." Xiao Chuan interjected, "Many guests come every day, if it falls on the table, it can be guessed that it was left by the guest who just left." "I found it when I swept the floor after closing the door." Yoshioka said. "You said it was the eighteenth or nineteenth of last month?" "Ok." Seeing Yoshioka nodding, Wei Fang turned to Xiao Chuan and said, "Can you confirm that one of the days, Qing Jiang visited your store?" Xiao Chuan showed embarrassment. "There will be a lot of customers visiting every day, and it is impossible to remember the faces one by one."

"Then, where's the name of the person making the reservation? This kind of shop usually requires reservations, right?" "Ah, this is... you can check the names of customers who made reservations in advance." "Excuse me, can I trouble you to check?" "Now?" Xiao Chuan was full of reluctance. "Please." Wei Fang bowed his head again. "Wait a moment." After saying that, Xiao Chuan disappeared into the room again. Taking this opportunity, Oo asked Yoshioka. "Do you know Shinichiro Aoe? I heard he is called a super beautician."

"Qingjiang...ah, I've heard of it." "Qing Jiang who left the necklace is him." "That's it." Yoshioka was not too surprised. "With such a celebrity coming, I think it will become a topic of discussion for you." Yoshioka smiled wryly: "Our store often comes to artists, so it is impossible to always make a fuss. Moreover, I know he is a super beautician, but I don't know him." Wei Fang was a little disappointed to be pushed back so easily.He thought that maybe he was the only policeman who was confused by the media all day long.

Ogawa came back with the folder. "I didn't make an appointment under Qing Jiang's name, maybe his companion made an appointment." "Can I take a look?" Without waiting for Xiao Chuan to answer, Wei Yi grabbed the folder and quickly browsed through the rows of names.Soon, he discovered Xinhai's name. Wei Fang pointed and asked, "Do you remember this guest?" Xiao Chuan only glanced at it, then shook his head: "As I said just now, our shop has many customers." "Is this person not a regular visitor?" "Maybe." Ogawa's answer was vague.

After thanking them, the two left the hotel, came to the road, and walked towards the subway station.Tail smacked his lips irritably. "Isn't it Qingjiang? It's so strange. Could it be that there really happened to be a necklace that was exactly the same as the one that fell on the scene? That's not something popular." "But he did find it." "Yes, but..." At noon today, Qing Jiang called and said that he had found a necklace with skulls and roses.Taiga immediately went to MON AMI.With a victorious expression on his face, Qing Jiang took out the necklace and said that it was left behind at SIRUKI, a restaurant in Roppongi that he visited on Saturdays.Weifang and the others came to check immediately, and it seemed that Qingjiang had not lied, and indeed said that he went with Xin Haimeidong.

"It's impossible to unify everyone's caliber, right?" Wei Fang blurted out. "One voice?" "The people in that restaurant, as well as Meidong, don't they all want to protect Qingjiang, so they say that the necklace they bought from somewhere was left in the restaurant two weeks ago?" "No, it's unlikely." "It's hard to say. Now that the economy is in such a downturn, it's not easy to tell a lie or two as long as you give money? Even if Qingjiang doesn't have that ability, Xinhai can definitely do it." "you think too much."

"Really?" Before going down the steps of the subway station, Wei Fang looked back, "Anyway, there is no reason to pursue Qing Jiang anymore. This will definitely become an unsolved case, I have a hunch."
