Chapter 38: The Flower Cage
"Police Department, this is it, this is the last place where the deceased appeared that night!"
Sitting in the car parked on the side of the road, Lin Xiuyi followed the direction pointed by Miki's finger and cautiously looked at the drunken club opposite-Ginza Flower Cage.
Seeing the limousines that stopped at the door from time to time and the female public relations who stood at the door to warmly welcome the guests, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a headache in his heart.
"This is not a place where office workers like Lin Xiuyi should come!"
"What should we do? Should we go in and investigate? For example, who did Kogi have met here that night, and what problems did he talk to others! If we don't go in, we will have to ask the special manager of the Takeshita Works Store!"
Urashima was a little embarrassed and analyzed the case in a whisper. Although everyone is very aware of these situations, I am afraid that inexperienced people will be able to see through the high-end clubs in Ginza.
Lin Xiuyi and Pu Dao glanced at each other, and when they saw the other party's innocent look, they couldn't help but dispel the idea of sending Pu Dao out. So Lin Shuichi and Urashima couldn't help but look at Miki's body.
"I ...... I'm a woman, and I can still help if it's a cowherd shop!"
Miki said to Lin Shuichi and Urashima a little helplessly.
"Forget it! Otherwise, I'd better go in with Urashima-kun, I knew that there would be a situation like today, I should have gone with the people from the Life Safety Class to clean up the custom shop a few times, maybe I wouldn't be as nervous as I am now!"
When Lin Xiuyi and Urashima finally made up their minds in the car, the two took a deep breath, then pushed open the car door and bravely walked towards the flower cage house across the road.
……
When Hayashi Shuichi and Urashima walked across the road, a young woman in a high-end kimono quickly stepped forward and greeted them:
"Welcome, is it the first time for the two gentlemen to come to the cage house?"
"Huh?"
"Ah...... We are a members-only club, if you are not members, please forgive us for not being considerate......"
"That...... We were introduced by the special manager of the Takeshita official store, Mori Seiichi, and the Mori special manager still has some official business that needs to be dealt with, so let us come over in advance, why, did the Mori special manager not inform you?"
Lin Xiu was calm and said casually making up a reason.
The female publicist standing in front of the door looked Lin Xiu up and down, wearing an elegant custom-made suit, it looks like it should be handmade by a high-end dress shop in Marunouchi, the silk tie around her neck seems to be the most popular style in Paris this year, although the tie clip used is a little ordinary, but the Rolex she is wearing on her hand is worth a lot of money, it seems that the guest in front of her has a very high taste!
"It's really rude, since the two of you are friends with the forest manager, then please go in and take a rest. Excuse me, should the consumption of the two of them be recorded in the account of the general manager of the forest?"
"No, please put it on my account!"
……
When Lin Xiuyi was brought to the club by the female public relations who was in charge of welcoming guests at the door, the two couldn't help but look at everything here with a curious and voyeuristic gaze. In the huge club, there are many fashionable and tall girls sitting in their seats, toasting and chatting with the guests here.
Lin Xiuyi and Pu Dao were sent to a vacant booth, and just when the two of them just sat down, the other two tall women in evening dresses gently walked to where the two were, first saluted, and then sat beside the two, and asked in a gentle tone:
"It's the first time you've come here, what do you like to drink on weekdays?"
"Beer...... Beer!"
Urashima replied to the other party with some restraint.
"Huh...... That's really not easy, we only have whiskey and wine here!"
Although he knew that a glass of wine here was worth a lot of money, Lin Xiuyi still responded stubbornly:
"Then a bottle of whiskey, what do you want to call the two ladies?"
Hearing Lin Xiu order a bottle of whiskey, the two public relations officers then picked up the cup from the coffee table, took an ice cube and put it in the cup. After a while, a waiter brought a bottle of expensive whiskey and opened it in front of Lin Xiuyi, and then placed it on the table in front of everyone.
"My name is Erika, she is Hana-chan, it's a pleasure to meet two gentlemen, what kind of work do you do?"
……
After the girl named Erika poured the wine, she immediately picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lin Xiuyi. Immediately after that, the two had a drink together. When Lin Xiuyi put down the wine glass, the other party immediately approached Lin Xiuyi, and then casually praised Lin Xiuyi's watch for being very consistent with his own temperament.
Lin Xiuyi and Urashima briefly communicated with the two girls for a while, and at this moment, San, the mother of the flower cage house, suddenly came to the two and greeted them. Then he sat down familiarly and asked Lin Xiuyi:
"I heard that you two are friends of the forest manager, right? It seems that the two of you are coming to our flower cage house for the first time, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality! By the way, the proprietress Aki is here, and I hope that the two of you will support us a lot in the future. When did you make an appointment with Sen Shogun?"
"That...... We're here today to ask you about Mr. Naobu Kogiso, who is a regular visitor here, and I've heard that he met with Mori at your place a few days ago, right?"
Seeing that Mama Sang here came to ask in person, there was a hint of confidence in her eyebrows. Lin Xiuyi felt that the other party might have communicated with Sen Chengyi, and even had seen through his lies. So Lin Xiuyi no longer hid it, he straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming here today.
"Oh...... Are you Mr. Policeman? That's really disrespectful! You see, we are just a place where guests drink, and although we talk to our guests about topics that are of interest to our guests, we don't really know much about things between guests? As for Mr. Kogiso, you said...... He's a regular visitor to our place, but he brings a lot of guests, so it's not convenient for us to ask!"
Mother Sang Yaji whispered a few words to Lin Xiu, and then stood up and generously instructed the waiter:
"This is the first time the two officers have come to us, this bottle of wine will be on my account, I hope you two have a good time here tonight!"
