Chapter 77 Section VII

Imameda realized that there was someone beside him, he came back to his senses, and then the aroma of coffee wafted into his nostrils.A woman in her twenties, wearing an apron and a tight-fitting T-shirt underneath, served her coffee on a tray. "Thank you." Imae reached for the coffee cup.In such a place, even the aroma of coffee becomes stronger. "Are the three of you taking care of this store?" "Yes, roughly. However, our boss often goes to another store." The woman in an apron answered with a tray. "Another one?" "In Daikanyama." "Oh, it's amazing, there are two stores at such a young age."

"We are also planning to open a children's clothing store in Jiyugaoka." "Opening a third one? It's really admirable. Does Miss Tang Ze have a cornucopia at home?" "Our boss is really hardworking. We all doubt whether she will sleep or not." After she said this in a low voice, she glanced inside, said "please slow down", and then backed away. Imaeda drank the coffee without sugar or creamer.It is better than ordinary cafes. Imae thought, maybe this woman named Karasawa Yusui is the kind of person who values ​​money more than appearance, otherwise she would not be so successful in business.And, he speculated, she must have developed this trait while living in Yoshida's apartment.After losing her biological mother, Yukiho is adopted by Reiko Karasawa, who lives nearby, and is Yukiho's father's cousin.

Imaeda went to see Reiko Karasawa's residence. It was an elegant Japanese-style house with a small courtyard, and the doorplate of "Senke of Tea Ceremony" was hung on the door. At Tang Ze's house, Xuesui learned from her adoptive mother several skills that are beneficial to women, such as tea ceremony and flower arrangement.The femininity exuding from Xuesui's body now must have been cultivated during that period. Reiko Karasawa still lives there, so she can't inquire about the news without any scruples nearby, but there seems to be nothing unusual about Yusui's life after being adopted, and the local residents only remember "there was a very beautiful and quiet girl." ".

"uncle." Hearing someone call, Imaeda raised his head.Eri Sugawara stood there in a black velvet dress that was so short that it made your heart beat faster, showing her beautiful legs. "Do you dare to dress like this to work?" "Can't you?" "How about this one?" The woman in white took out a western-style jacket with a blue base, only the neckline was white. "It goes well with skirts or pants." "Hmm..." Eri pondered, "I seem to have something similar." "Forget it then." Imameda said, then looked at his watch, it was time to go.

"Uncle, can you come again next time? I don't even know what clothes I have." Eri said the words they had prepared in advance. "I really can't do anything about you, so let's do it next time." "I'm sorry, I didn't buy after seeing so many items." Eri apologized to the woman in white. "Where, it doesn't matter." The woman replied with a friendly smile. Imaeda stood up and waited for Eri to change back into her clothes.At this time, Tang Ze Xuesui came out from behind, "Your niece doesn't seem to have found the clothes she likes."

"I'm sorry, she's half-hearted, it's nerve-wracking." "Where, please don't take it to heart. It is actually very difficult to find something that suits you." "Seems." "I think that clothing and accessories are not used to cover up a person's interior, but to set off. Therefore, I think that when we choose clothes for our guests, we must understand the interior of the guest." "Oh." "For example, if someone with temperament and education wears it, no matter what kind of clothes it is, it will look elegant and extraordinary. Of course..." Yukiho looked straight into Imao's eyes, "and vice versa."

Imae nodded slightly, and turned his face away.Is she talking about me?This suit doesn't fit?Or is there something unnatural about Eri? Eri changed her clothes and came over. "Awaited." "We will send you an invitation letter, may I trouble you to fill in the contact information?" Xuesui handed a piece of paper to Eri.Eri looked at Imaeda anxiously. "Isn't it more convenient to write where you are?" Hearing what he said, Eri nodded, took the pen and began to fill in. "Your watch is really good." Yukiho looked at Imae's left wrist again.

"You seem to enjoy it." "Yes, it is a limited edition of Cartier. I only know one other person who owns this watch besides you." "Oh..." Imae hid his left hand behind his back. "Please come again." Xuesui said. "Sure." Imagi replied. Leaving the boutique, Imaeda drives Eri back to her apartment.The hourly fee is 10,000 yuan. "I can earn another 10,000 yuan trying on high-end women's clothing. This job is not bad." "It's just tantalizing, next time you must buy something for me." "If there is a next time." Saying that, Imeda stepped on the accelerator, he thought there would be no second time.I made this trip today not to investigate, but to see with my own eyes what kind of person Tang Ze Xuesui is.Besides, it's too dangerous to approach this store.This woman, Tang Ze Xuesui, may be more difficult to take lightly than he imagined.

Back at the office, he called Shinozuka. "How is it?" Shinozuka immediately asked when he heard the caller. "I understand more or less what you mean now." "you mean……" "She's really confusing." "No!" "However, she is really a great beauty, no wonder cousin Ling fell in love with her." "……yes." "I will continue to investigate." "sorry to bother you." "By the way, I want to confirm one thing, which is the watch I borrowed from you." "Please say." "Did you really never wear it in front of her? Did you ever mention it to her?"

"No, it shouldn't be... What did she say?" Imameda briefly described what happened in the store, and Shinozuka murmured. "She probably doesn't know." After saying this, Shinozuka continued in a low voice, "It's just..." "what?" "Strictly speaking, I used to wear this watch when she was present. But she would never see it on that occasion, and even if she saw it, she probably wouldn't remember it." "What occasion?" "Wedding banquet." "Oh? Whose?" "It's theirs. That's the watch I wore when I attended the wedding banquet of Gao Gong and Miss Xuesui."

"what……" "However, even though I was by Gao Gong's side, I hardly ever got close to her. The closest time I got was probably when the candles were lit. It's really hard for me to imagine that she would remember my watch." "Lighting candles... Am I worrying too much?" "probably." Imaeda nodded while holding the receiver.Shinozuka is a smart person, since he said so, he should remember correctly. "I'm really sorry, please such troublesome things." Shinozuka apologized to him. "Well, this is also a job. Besides," Imameda continued, "I have also become interested in her personally. But please don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean that I like her. I think there seems to be something behind her." "Detective instinct?" "Well, so to speak." Shinozuka fell silent, perhaps thinking about the basis of this intuition.After a while, he said, "Then I will trouble you." "I will investigate carefully." Imaeda hung up the phone.
