Chapter 41: Reina's thoughts
Just like Lin Xiuyi expected, Mr. Tomosaka did not have a history of theft. This also means that if Tomosaka-sensei is the real murderer, then there is no way to explain the theft before the disappearance of Tomomi Yano and Arisa Ninomiya.
Originally, I thought that Sousuke Tomosaka would be the real prisoner, but in the end it was still empty, which also made Miki have great doubts about her ability. Not only that, but Miki also felt extremely guilty for misleading Lin Xiuyi's judgment by her reckless actions.
"Eat something, you've been running for a day too!"
Just as Miki looked at the case file on the table in a daze, a warm tonkatsu rice bento and a cup of fragrant black coffee were placed in front of Miki. She raised her head, but saw that it was actually Lin Xiuyi who handed him food.
"The police department?" Miki stood up in surprise, not knowing what to say.
"Do you remember what I said, you have to eat delicious food, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to catch the real suspect?" Lin Xiuyi kindly reminded Miki. He then handed Miki chopsticks and sauce. These things were all things that Lin Xiuyi had just bought from the convenience store downstairs. Since he left the interrogation room, he has never asked about Sosuke Tomosaka's interrogation. Because he had already determined through the interrogation that Sosuke Tomosaka did not have much in common with the person he was looking for.
"I'm really sorry, police department, I disappointed you this time!" Miki slowly lowered her head after taking the chopsticks and sauce, and suddenly, a few tears fell on the lunch box.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu hurriedly comforted: "Don't be sad, in fact, you did a good job......
"Police, I know that I took reckless action without a clear investigation, and now I have not only wasted your valuable time and those of my colleagues, but also almost wronged Mr. Tomosaka......"
Miki said as she bowed deeply to Lin Xiuyi. But even so, Miki didn't feel any better.
"Waste of time, haven't you already found the relics of Tomomi Yano and Arisa Ninomiya? Actually, we are very close to the truth!" It was already seven o'clock in the evening, but the Metropolitan Police Department building was still lit up. But Lin Xiuyi put on his coat and turned his name brand to the side of going out.
"Let's go back early and rest after eating, and let's go to Suruga Juku every day to see ......."
Lin Xiu waved his hand without replying, leaving only such a sentence.
It still only took forty-five minutes to return to Kichijoji Station from Sakurada Gate, and Lin Xiu didn't want to think about work at all after work. Like most office workers, Lin Xiuyi is used to using his mobile phone to pass the time spent on the road.
Since then, Miko Fukuda's new work, "Reasoning After Dinner", has finally completed the planning and preparation, and has begun to be serialized in Shueisha's magazine. Lin Shuichi also began to focus on this work after Fukuda Miko won the award.
With the aura of a Silver Tiara Grand Prix winner, Miko's new work was inevitably compared with the work of several other winners of the same period as soon as it was released. However, the female author who can create mystery themes in the comic industry is really a rare animal, and because of this. Although Miko's new work is not the best among the winners in the same period, it has indeed won the appreciation and praise of many industry insiders.
Because it had just started the serialization, Lin Xiuyi finished reading the content that had just been launched before the train arrived, and then Lin Xiuyi began to chat with Yuzi all the way on the hatsapp. And when he got home, Reina, who was supposed to be in the cram school, had been waiting at home for a long time.
"Why is it so early today, aren't you going to tutor?"
As soon as Lin Xiu saw Ling Nai at home, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
"Brother, don't you know that the search lesson blocked the Suruga school, and if you knew that I wouldn't be in a hurry to pay the tuition fee!"
Reina replied a little helplessly, anyone who just finished teaching tuition fees but found that the cram school was closed by the police, I'm afraid it won't be good.
"Oh, that's it!"
Lin Xiuyi then remembered that the blockade of Suruga Juku was still his own order.
"Brother, will you eat first or take a bath first?"
Ling Nai casually took Lin Xiuyi's briefcase, and took it out of the shoe cabinet and took off her shoes and handed them to Lin Xiuyi.
"Let's eat first, I haven't tasted the craft of Reina-chan for a long time......"
……
Today's dinner is stir-fried pork liver with leeks, Jinping burdock and steamed clams with wine, after washing his hands, Lin Xiuyi sat down at the table, and Ling Nai served him a large bowl of white rice. Lin Xiuyi, who took the rice, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then ate it with a big heart.
The pork liver is tender and tastes like it doesn't smell fishy, and it is obviously fully marinated before it is fried. Paired with freshly broken bean sprouts and leeks, it balances the taste and enriches the nutrients. It is indeed the best accompaniment to rice. The crispy Jinping burdock plays the role of a seasoning agent, if stir-fried vegetables are the best partner of rice, then refreshing side dishes are an indispensable accompaniment to stir-fried dishes, although the burdock has been slightly stir-fried, but still retains the crispness and fresh taste of the ingredients, which is incomparable to stir-fried dishes. As for the steamed clams, they can be used as a dish to serve with rice, and they can also be used as a soup to replenish the water needed for the meal.
"Brother, is it delicious?"
Ling Nai looked at Lin Xiu's hearty eating, and felt very happy in her heart. Although Reina was upset by the seizure of Suruga-juku, it was a good thing to be able to have dinner with her brother.
"Of course it's delicious, it's a taste you can't eat in an izakaya!"
Lin Xiuyi praised without exaggeration.
"But brother, something happened at school recently, and I'm a little uneasy!"
Reina sat opposite Lin Xiuyi and casually talked about what happened at school.
"What's wrong!"
Hearing Ling Nai say that Yu Xin was uneasy, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little curious, could it be that she did something sorry for her friend?
"There was a girl in the same class, who didn't have a good relationship with me, and I don't know why she suddenly didn't come to class! And her former friends also began to distance themselves from her, and I think this matter has something to do with me, so I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing. To be honest, I don't like her as a person, but I don't want her to stop coming to school because of me......"
