Chapter 4: The Cassio-Seat Train
"Passengers traveling on RB Airlines flight JL521 are kindly aware that we apologize to inform you that we had to cancel this flight due to weather conditions at Aomori Airport, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused......
"Eh, how can you ...... like this?" Erika rushed to Narita Airport, only to be notified of the cancellation of her flight, ruining her long-awaited vacation plans. Erika immediately put all the loss on her face.
A subtle hint of panic flashed across Sakurako's face, but it was only a momentary thing. Sakurako is going to leave Tokyo today no matter what, and the later she leaves, the more dangerous it becomes, and the body hidden in that high-rise apartment in Ginza won't go unnoticed forever, because the body will decompose and emit a smell big enough to attract attention. And Sakurako must make herself disappear completely before this happens.
What if there is no plane, there is also the Shinkansen, the Shinkansen that goes directly from Tokyo to Aomori. Why do you have to go to Aomori instead of flying directly from Tokyo to South Korea? On the one hand, Sakurako considered that she and Erika had plans to go to Aomori before, so that leaving Tokyo would not be too sudden, in addition, it was Sakurako's huge money, she had to deal with the 100 million yen in the country, otherwise she would be confiscated by South Korean customs when she got off the plane with so much cash in South Korea, and the money was all legal income, and it should not be difficult to transfer it abroad through the bank, but what Sakurako lacks most now is time.
"Eri-chan, how about we take the Shinkansen, I feel like I've been flying for the past few years, and I haven't taken the Shinkansen for a long time, so there's nothing wrong with trying it once in a while!" Sakurako turned her mind and began to encourage Erika. "It's not impossible to take the Shinkansen, but it's too long, it takes more than ten hours, and I'm most afraid of this kind of trip that takes hours to sit on a chair, it's too long. But you reminded me that I have a better suggestion......"
Erika said as she began to look up something on her phone, and it didn't take long for Erika to hand her phone directly to Sakurako.
"Sakurako-chan, how about we take the Senhouza train to Aomori, I've always wondered what kind of experience is it like to travel in the train box...... Super awesome!"
Sakurako doesn't even think about the travel experience right now, and for Sakurako, being able to leave Tokyo a moment earlier is the most important thing. As long as you can leave Tokyo early, even if it's a long-distance bus, it's acceptable. But Sakurako would never dare to make such a suggestion to take a bus, because it would make Erika suspicious of her, after all, everyone is not a person who is short of money, so why choose the poor way to travel?
So for Erika's suggestion to take the Senhoua train, Sakurako agreed almost without thinking. Although Sakurako is not a fan of railways, she still knows a little about the Cassio-Seat train. After all, Sakurako's job is to accompany those dignitaries to drink and chat, and some topics must be talked about according to the other party's interests whether they are interested or not.
The Senhoua train is a super luxury sleeper train under the JR East RB umbrella. Running between Tokyo and Hokkaido's Hakodate, all seats on the train are double-occupied, with separate showers and toilets, making it the most luxurious presidential suite on the Shinkansen, and the Senhoua train costs about 30,000 yen for a one-way trip, but since they are all double rooms, you will have to pay double the price even if you ride alone. That's the equivalent of a round-trip flight between Tokyo and Hakodate plus an overnight stay in a luxury hotel. It's definitely not something that ordinary wage earners can afford.
After receiving Sakurako's affirmative answer, Eri-chan quickly booked a ticket for the Senhoua train to Aomori, and at Sakurako's insistence, the two did not choose to live together, but each asked for a separate box. Because the ticket price of the Cassiopeia train is expensive, even if there are still a lot of tickets left on the same day, the two of them easily booked tickets for the departure in the afternoon of the same day.
Perhaps for most ordinary people, traveling in Cassiopeia is a luxury, but for Ginza female publicists like Sakurako and Erika, who earn more than 100 million a year, tens of thousands of yen are not taken to heart at all.
At the same time that Sakurako and Erika chose the Senhou train, the Lin Xiuyi Police Department also booked a box on the Senhoua train. Because it was too late to book a ticket, the Forest Police Department could only choose to travel by Shinkansen, but because the Forest Police Department had suffered several serious injuries in a year, it was beyond Lin Xiuyi's body to take a dozen hours of train travel and be unable to move. So Lin Xiuyi reluctantly chose to buy an expensive Xianhou ticket, hoping that his trip to Aomori could be more comfortable.
The Cassio-Train's regular compartment with two single beds, a writing desk, and a separate bathroom is a luxurious mobile apartment, but that's not all the benefits of the Cassio-Train, as the restaurant on the Cassio-Train and the specially made Senhoua Railroad bento are also well-known.
In fact, in a country as small as RB, long-distance travel by train is a popular form of leisure. Rather than arriving at your destination by plane, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, taste the special food of RB and collect various souvenirs sold at each station, which makes the connotation of rail travel rich and attracts a group of railway enthusiasts.
Lin Xiuyi is not a railway fan, but he also wants to try the different experiences brought by a luxury cruise ship on land like Cassiopeia, although Lin Xiuyi went to Aomori to attend the funeral, but after years of separation, Lin Xiuyi has almost no impression of his father. According to RB's usual funeral customs, after the death of the deceased, he had to wait for 7749 days before being buried, and Lin Xiuyi had time for him to calmly rush to Heinai Town. And Lin Xiuyi also needs some time to think about some things after his father's death.
The Senhoua train departs at 4:20 p.m. at Ueno Station in Tokyo and is expected to arrive in Aomori City at 9 a.m. the next morning. Lin Xiuyi's salute was not much, except for the formal clothes to be worn at the funeral, there were only some changes of underwear. He arrived at the station early and spent most of his waiting time at the café near the station. Lin Xiu walked towards the station with his own salute, but saw a beautiful red Porsche sports car speeding through the street beside him.
Maybe it was because of his love for cars, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but glance at the car, and at the same time noticed the two ladies in the car.
"It's very temperamental, maybe it's the eldest lady of a rich family!" Lin Xiuyi secretly guessed.
