6:50 p.m., 4-chome, Rice Flower Town.

In front of the Shimada Family Restaurant, a taxi stopped, and then a man with a sketchpad on his back got out of the car and hurried to the restaurant.

Seeing this, the waiter at the door hurriedly opened the door of the restaurant, bowed slightly and said, "Hello sir, welcome, how many of you are?"

"Both, I've made an appointment to meet here. As he spoke, the man looked at the seats in the hall, and when he saw a man in a beanie in the corner, his eyes lit up, and he nodded to the waiter, "I've seen my friend." ”

"Need me to show you the way?"

"No, I'll just go over by myself. ”

The man finished and walked towards the position of the man in the beanie.

On the seat, the man in the beanie was eating curry, and when he saw the person coming with him, he gently put down the spoon, pointed to the opposite position, and motioned to sit down and talk.

The man with the sketchpad on his back nodded and sat down, then smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Akai, I have already brought those two paintings according to your request. ”

"Really? Akai Shuichi nodded slightly, his tone a little hurried, "Mr. Manaka, can you show me the painting first?"

"Absolutely. Daijiro Manaka answered, took the drawing board off his back, took out the two sketches he had drawn in the afternoon, and handed them to Shuichi Akai, "The one above is the female ghost that the police lady saw last week, and the one below is the ......one she met earlier."

Shuichi Akai took the two sketches, and when he looked at the "female ghost" on them, he suddenly lost his mind for a while, and was silent for more than ten seconds, with complicated thoughts in his heart, and whispered: "It's her...... It's her ......."

Manaka Daijiro looked at Shuichi Akai's appearance, his heart suddenly felt a little hairy, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, and then took out a tape from his clothes and said, "Mr. Akai, this is a recording of the conversation I recorded, do you feel satisfied?"

"Hmm......" Akai Shuyi came back to his senses and nodded, "Very good." ”

"That's good. Daijiro Manaka asked with a dry smile, "Then you should ...... the rest of the reward?"

"Don't worry, I've got you covered. Akai Shuichi said, took out an envelope from his coat pocket, and handed it to Daijiro Manaka, "Mr. Manaka, the curry at this family restaurant tastes very good, do you want to have one, I'll treat you." ”

Daijiro Manaka took the envelope, felt the thickness of the envelope, shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, I have other things, so I won't bother." Also, Mr. Akai, if you have something like this in the future, you can contact me, and I will definitely help. ”

After Manaka Daijiro finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye and left, and Akai Shuichi picked up the tape left by Manaka Daijiro, took out a Walkman, put on headphones, and fast-forwarded to the section about another "female ghost", eating curry and listening to it.

About five or six minutes later, Shuichi Akai finished eating the curry and squinted slightly: "The last time that policewoman met Akemi and this female ghost was also in Kakudo Town, the time was at night, it was raining, and there was a fire in a biological research laboratory that night...... Wasn't that night when Pisco was killed and Akemi......'s sister disappeared?

Akai Shuichi guessed in his heart, picked up two more sketches, looked at the portrait of Akemi above, and was stunned.

At the same time, at the door of the family restaurant, the waiter looked at the beautiful little Lori wearing a red dress and carrying Prada's new small bag, and asked, "Children, are you here to find your father and mother?"

"No, I'm here to eat. Little Lori Gray Yuan replied coldly, and walked towards the empty seat in the hall, "I want a curry, and I'll eat it here, preferably a little faster." ”

"Uh...... Good. ”

The waiter replied and watched Ash Yuan walk away.

Gray Yuan carried a small bag, slowly walked into the hall, and was about to find a vacant seat nearby to sit down, when he saw Akai Shuichi in the corner, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and then he squinted, and slowly walked to the position next to Akai Shuichi and sat down, and his ice blue eyes peeked at Akai Shuichi's position:

"What is this man doing here? Is he eating? In his hand is ...... Portrait of his sister? Did he draw it himself? I didn't expect him to have this skill......

Loriai was thinking wildly, and in the position next to her, Akai Shuichi suddenly flipped aside Akemi's sketch in his hand, revealing the sketch below.

Gray Yuan saw Chengshi's sketch clearly, his expression changed instantly, and he suddenly became solemn, a little incredulous: "That's ...... Sketch of Mr. Snarimit? Although there are a few places that are different, it should be! But how can this guy have a portrait of Mr. Sung Sil? He must have never seen Mr. Sung Sil at all, right......

Loriai's thoughts were spinning, and while she was thinking, she suddenly heard a "boom" explosion outside, followed by a shaking of chandeliers, charms, tables and chairs in the family dining room, as if there was an earthquake.

In the restaurant, the guests who were eating were startled, turned their heads to look out the window together, and opened their mouths wide in surprise, looking at the scene outside the window and discussing:

"Oh my God! What's going on? Why is there such a big fire all of a sudden?"

"It's a gas station! It can't be an explosion, right?"

"Why did it suddenly explode? Also, that was a tanker, right? Why did it catch fire?"

"There seems to be a taxi in front of the tanker truck, which was hit by the control cabinet, so miserable. ”

"At this time, there should be a lot of people in the gas station, which is really ...... right now"

“......”

In the corner, Loriai and Akai Shuichi listened to the chatter in the restaurant, and they all stood up curiously, looked out the window, and sure enough, they saw a raging fire at the gas station, and a burning tanker truck was flowing to the ground, and the flames were spreading at a terrifying speed, and the cars that were refueling in the gas station drove away from the inside......

Shuichi Akai looked at the accident outside, frowned slightly, quickly packed up two sketches and a walkman with both hands, and left the Shimada family restaurant after checking out.

Loriai watched Akai Shuichi leave, glanced at the surveillance camera in the restaurant, walked quickly to a waiter, pretended to be a poor little Lori, and wept:

"Hello sister, I left just now, and I can't find my sister. She was sitting here just now, can I take a look at your surveillance and see when she left?"
