"Police Department, this should be the closest restaurant to Hamada's house!"

"Ah...... It's a nice looking Italian restaurant, and there's a great set menu in the evening! It's rare that we've all come here, so why don't we have dinner here!"

Lin Xiuyi smiled and suggested to Miki. After the search of the last Tokyo bombing, Miki learned that Lin Shuichi had a habit of eating near the place related to the case. It's not just about eating. This is because this restaurant is located near the location of Hamada-sen's house. And it seems that the business is also doing well, so it is very likely that Hamada visited this restaurant during his lifetime. Taking the opportunity to eat, I took the opportunity to ask the service staff here if they had left an impression of the land of Hamada, which is also a good thing.

Miki nodded in agreement with Lin Shuichi's suggestion, and the two walked through the open-air dining area outside the restaurant, where passing waiters bowed to the two from time to time along the way to welcome their arrival.

"Welcome, are you two here for the first time?"

"Well, I just happened to pass by here, and when I saw that it seemed to be pretty good outside, I came in unconsciously!"

"Do you have any seats you would like to sit in?"

"Is it okay to sit by the window?"

"Of course, then please come here!"

The waiter who came to greet Lin Shuichi and Miki enthusiastically brought the two to the position by the window. Then pull out a chair for Miki so that she can sit down conveniently.

"Excuse me, do you have anything you want to eat?"

"Ah...... Today is actually our first time here, so why don't you tell us about the dishes that are suitable for couples and couples?"

"Well, our top dish today is goat's milk dumplings and chicken fried ham rolls, and our meat sauce lasagna and beef with red wine sauce are also popular, as well as the fresh Hokkaido sea urchin ...... today."

"Since it's so rare, let's have two steamed eggs with sea urchin, and then ask for a risotto, and a beef with red wine sauce!

"No, that's all!"

The waiter carefully recorded the dishes that Lin Shuichi and Miki said. Then he poured a glass of aperitif for Lin Xiuyi and Miki respectively, and then retreated.

"Police, why did you just say that you want dishes suitable for couples or couples?"

Miki asked Lin Xiuyi in a low voice, with an embarrassed flush on her face.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to find a chance to talk to the waiters here and see if they know anything about Councilor Hamada. I always feel that the one who disappeared in the house should have a very close relationship with Hamada-sen!"

"Do you mean that they are cohabitants?"

"It does seem like this, remember the hint that the medical examiner Tanaka gave us? The murderer and the victim should have a very close relationship. However, whether it is this cohabitant or not, we still need to prove. Now, the first thing we're going to prove is that someone has actually seen a close relationship between Hamada-san and a woman, and I think the staff here should be able to give us the information we need. Look at the man and woman sitting behind me, it seems that this is the kind of restaurant that couples especially prefer......"

Lin Xiuyi and Miki whispered about things related to the case for a while. It didn't take long for the waiter who was in charge of receiving Lin Xiuyi and Miki just now to come over with the prepared dishes and start serving Lin Xiuyi and them.

"You two's sea urchin steamed eggs, please use them slowly!"

"Hmm...... It smells like the sea! Looks like I was unexpectedly choosing the right restaurant today, right, Miki-chan!"

"Hey...... It looks really delicious, so I'll start first!"

"It's good that the two guests are satisfied, and it's not a shame, the sea urchin is the freshest in this season, and almost every guest who orders this dish will be full of praise for my sea urchin steamed eggs!"

"But I'd like to notice that most of the people who come to your restaurant seem to be couples, isn't the atmosphere here more suitable for men and women in love to dine together?"

"To be honest, there are indeed quite a few couples or couples who come here to eat! But for this reason, it will make some guests who simply want to come here to eat feel a little uncomfortable. Over time, we rarely have a single guest here!"

"Oh, but you're in Minato, and there are a lot of celebrities and celebrities living around, and I'm a little curious, haven't you ever met a couple like them who sneak around on a date?"

"This ...... Guest, this kind of thing, honestly, we don't talk about it?"

The waiter said to Lin Xiuyi with some embarrassment, and it could be seen that the other party should be a cautious person. It is very rare to be a waiter in this kind of place and know how to help guests keep secrets!

"Sorry, I was a bit abrupt in ask......ing! We're here today to ask you, have you ever seen this man and lady dining here?"

As soon as Lin Xiu spoke, he took out the photo of Hamada Dadi from his pocket, put it on the table, and then asked the other party:

"This ......"

Lin Xiuyi quickly got an affirmative answer from the other party's surprised eyes. However, the waiter still cautiously asked Lin Xiuyi:

"Excuse me, what is your identity?"

"Sorry, I just asked you a difficult question!"

As Lin Xiuyi spoke, he quietly took out his police account and showed it to the other party vaguely.

"You ...... You're a police officer?"

The waiter almost screamed in surprise, but fortunately, Lin Xiuyi reminded him with his eyes, and the other party didn't make any gaffes.

"So...... Now you can tell us with confidence!"

"This ...... Actually, I don't know if I should say it or not. However, this guest has been here twice in the last few days?"

"Chartered, so he didn't come alone?"

"Yes, her female companion seems to be a very great person, and when she comes, she comes in a very high-end car. ”

"So, do you know this female companion?"

"I know her, and I often see her news on TV. By the way, the other party seems to be a high-ranking government official, what's that called!"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard the waiter's answer, he looked at Miki in surprise, and then he took out his mobile phone and searched for a photo of Nobuko Ando!

"Is that what you're talking about?"

"Yes, that's her!"
