Hayakawa is located on the southwest side of Yamanashi Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture. It is located in the heart of the Hida Mountains, known as the Japanese Alps. Surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery, it is a mountain town that feels like a paradise.

Hayakawa is the least populated town in Japan, but it is a unique tourist destination due to its beautiful natural environment and abundant hot spring resources. In addition, the Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan located here is a living fossil of Japan's traditional ryokan industry due to the two Guinness World Records for the world's longest operating company and the world's most abundant hot spring.

Founded in 705 A.D., Keiunkan has been a famous hot spring resort since ancient times. As a traditional ryokan, Keiunkan has welcomed guests from the imperial family to the common people in its more than 1,300 years of operation. Its business philosophy and service standards have long been the object of learning from ryokan operators.

Unfortunately, Shuichi Hayashi and Miki didn't come here to experience the living fossils of the hotel industry. The only connection between the two cases that occurred in Hokkaido and Tokyo is the clue of the cleaning company, so of course Lin Shuichi will not relax the pursuit of this clue. After completing the transfer procedures with the Hokkaido police, Shuichi Hayashi and Miki immediately rushed to Hayakawa Town overnight to investigate Minato Fujiki, a female worker at the Asuda Housekeeping Company.

An Infiniti sedan with a Shinagawa license plate exited the tunnel and sped west along the elevated road in the mountains along Futefuki Route 104, entering Route 52 and heading north. Although the road in the mountains is tortuous, thanks to the well-developed road network around Tokyo, it took Hayashi about three hours to rush from the bustling city of Tokyo to the quiet Nishiyama Onsen.

This is a hot spring inn located on the banks of a river. Except for Keiunkan, there are no other buildings in the surrounding area. Because of this, this is clearly not the kind of hot spring inn that pleases all guests. For those who prefer to enjoy the hot springs in peace, Keiunkan is the perfect choice. Across the road from Keiunkan is another newly built ryokan. It is the Penglai Annex, which was built a few years ago on the basis of a newly discovered hot spring spring. Because of the large amount of water, it can accommodate more customers, which also makes the business of this thousand-year-old store more and more prosperous.

When Shuichi Hayashi and Miki arrived at Nishiyama Hot Springs by car, it was already close to dinner. Because there is too little information in hand at the moment, plus there is still a need to investigate the relevant situation of Minato Fujiki. Therefore, Lin Xiuyi believes that now is not the best time to conduct a public investigation of key suspects. After some discussion, Lin Shuichi and Miki had to stay in this hotel as a couple.

"Welcome, is it the first time for you to come to Keiunkan?"

The innkeeper dressed in traditional work clothes saw Lin Xiuyi and Miki getting out of the car, and quickly greeted them and asked about their needs. She welcomed Lin Xiuyi and Miki into the Qingyun Pavilion, and then asked about some of the preferences of the two!

"Yes, I've heard of the name of Keiunkan for a long time, and Miki-chan and I have always been curious about what the inn that has been open for 1300 years is like. Now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary!"

Lin Xiu said to the hostess of the inn with a smile on his face, with a compliment in his tone. The reason why he did this was just to establish a good relationship with the staff in the hotel as soon as possible, so that he could also learn about the situation of Minato Fujiki.

The waitress responded to Lin Xiuyi's compliment with a sincere and subtle smile, and then took the luggage in Lin Xiu's hand. After everyone removed their shoes at the entrance of the store, the waitress in the store immediately sat on the floor and saluted Lin Shuichi and Miki.

"Welcome, where did the two guests come from?"

"We came from Tokyo on the recommendation of a friend, and we have heard of the daimyo of Keiunkan for a long time, and today I finally had the pleasure of experiencing the hot springs here!"

"Guests come from afar, and we should serve both of them with our hearts. Shoes please leave at the door!"

Lin Shuichi and Miki glanced at each other, and then placed the shoes in the entrance according to the store's request. After the staff took Lin Xiuyi and Miki's shoes, they immediately put them away carefully. Led by a hostess. Shuichi Hayashi and Miki came to the check-in counter and checked in together.

"What kind of rooms do you like for your husband and lady?"

Lin Xiuyi was just about to make a decision, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he immediately handed over the decision to Miki behind him.

"Miki-chan, it's up to you to decide!"

"Eh, me, I......"

"Madam, we have a total of 50 rooms in Qingyun Pavilion, except for the rooms that have already been occupied by guests, you can choose the room according to your preference!"

"Is there a room where you can soak in the hot springs and enjoy the view?"

Miki put forward her thoughts with some restraint, and at the same time glanced at Lin Xiuyi, as if she was asking for the opinion of the police department.

"How about Daigo, although it is located in the southwest corner of Keiunkan, it has a wide view and a separate courtyard! Many guests who have stayed there are very satisfied with the view!"

"Yes, but can we make a request?" Lin Xiu nodded happily, and then made a new request.

"Hi Woo, guests can ask for anything, we will try to meet your needs!"

"May I ask if the bath in the room is that kind of big wooden bath?" As soon as Lin Xiu's words came out, Miki immediately understood what the police department meant.

"Hey, don't you like this kind of bath, if you're not satisfied, we can change your room......" The hostess hurriedly explained to Lin Xiuyi.

"Ah...... We just prefer to bathe in the freshly cleaned bath. Can you clean the bath thoroughly for us before dinner? Of course, the cost is not a problem!"

Lin Xiuyi smiled and made his request to the hostess of Qingyun Pavilion. Since Mina Fujiki was hired here to clean the baths. Then after making a similar request yourself, you should be able to meet this questionable woman!

"Hey, we'll arrange it for you, please go to the room for a while, it's still a little time before dinner, the two guests might as well wait in the room for a while, and by the way, you can also experience the special refreshments made by Qingyun Pavilion......"
