Chapter 24 Section 8

Above the ring-shaped magnet, there were several small stone-like things wrapped in aluminum foil floating, and white smoke rose around it, which was formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air. The small rocks are actually superconductors, which are made by cooling the superconductor with liquid nitrogen and then wrapping it with insulation and aluminum foil. Wearing a white coat, Yu Chuan pressed the superconductor on the magnet with tweezers, released the tweezers, and the superconductor floated above the magnet again. Keeping this state unchanged, Yukawa grabbed the magnet with his fingertips and turned it over, but the superconductor kept its original distance from the magnet.No matter how Yukawa changed the angle of the magnet, the superconductor seemed to be fixed by an invisible metal, and the distance between it and the magnet remained unchanged.

"This is the special effect of superconductors. To put it simply, it uses magnetic force to fix space. It seems to be applied to linear motor traction trains." Yu Chuan said while putting magnets and superconductors on the table. "Scientists can really think about it." Kusanagi said admiringly. "It's not so much that they thought it out, it's better to say that they discovered it. In this sense, scientists often play the role of pioneers. Don't think that those who have been hiding in the laboratory are scientists. Big misunderstanding." "So, did you find anything?" Kusanagi threw Yukawa's coat that was on the chair towards him.

"I can't find anything here." Tang Chuan replied. Kusanagi wanted Yukawa to visit the bathroom where Kunio Takasaki died, so he came to Teito University again.The cause of Takasaki's death is still a mystery to the police, and it is the last hope to come to Yukawa. Letting Yukawa sit in the co-pilot's seat, Kusanagi drove his beloved car towards Koto District.But on the way, he seemed to suddenly remember something. "Can I make a detour?" "Are you going to the drive-thru in MacDonald Street?" "It's turned into a porn scene." What Kusanagi wants to go to is the house of Kawai Asami, the waitress they first met at the Bizarre bar.He wanted to find out about Satomi Naito, so he found out about Asami's residence from the "weird" proprietress.

"I'll wait for you here." Yukawa said when he arrived at the door of Asami Kawai's house. "Don't, don't, you go with me. Compared with me, that waitress may have a deeper impression on you." "If he knew you were a policeman, he would be on guard." "That's why I asked you to come with me." Asami Kawai happened to be at home.She answered the door in a T-shirt and jeans, her face looked younger without the chemical animal husbandry. She still remembered what Kusanagi looked like.When she knew that he was a criminal policeman, she was a little angry.

"Didn't you say you are an ordinary salaryman?" "Doesn't a detective earn a salary? He's an associate professor at a university, that's a fact," Kusanagi pointed at Yukawa, "Actually, we came here to ask you about Satomi's situation." "Why, have you taken a fancy to Satomi?" "It's not that I fell in love with her. Does she really owe a lot of debt?" "Well, I heard some too. She also said that it was difficult to pay back the loan or something." "Is she still on now?" "I don't know, but she seldom mentioned this matter recently, maybe she is trying to find a way to pay it back."

"Did you borrow money from your bar?" "Our lady boss is not good enough to advance wages to girls who work." At this time, a gray kitten ran out of the house. "Ah, it's a Russian blue cat." Tang Chuan said. "Teacher, you understand quite well." Asami Kawai picked up the cat. A brooch-like thing hangs from the cat's neck.Kusanagi said, "Don't look like it's a cat, it's wearing something very fashionable." "This one is from Satomi." "She gave it?" "It seems that there is a man in her unit who has been chasing her. This brooch was made by that man. She thought it was too tacky, so she gave it to me. I don't want to wear this kind of thing, so I made it for my 'Neon' jewelry."

"Neon" is the cat's name. "Ah! What a dexterous person." The pin is a round sheet of metal with the profile of a woman carved on it. "Sorry," Tang Chuan reached out to touch the brooch, "This is a silicon chip." "Silicon wafer?" "It's a semiconductor material, such a hard material, but it can be carved so lifelike." "It must be some tool. There should be a lot of processing machines in the factory." "That's true." Speaking of this, Tang Chuan's eyes suddenly shone.No, Kusanagi seemed to be glowing.

"Well," said the physicist, "I see, the mystery of the strange death has finally been solved." "Really?" "Almost, if we go to that factory, we may find evidence." "Then let's go and have a look. Ah! Today seems to be Saturday, are they going to rest?" "It's possible for the job site to go to work on the rest day. Let's go and see. Then," Yu Chuan glanced at Asami Kawai, "Can you lend me this brooch first?" "Ah, take it." Kawai Asami untied the brooch from the cat's collar, "Then, what's going on?"

"We have another new discovery." Tang Chuan replied.
