"Police Department, this is the starting point of the suspect's escape......"

As he spoke, Manabe pointed out the current location of the two on the map in Lin Xiu's hand.

"Then, after you found out, the suspect fled in that direction over there, right?"

"Hey!"

"And before that? Have you noticed anyone passing by on this street?"

"This ...... I'm so sorry, I can't remember!"

"Oh, forget it, I'm just asking!"

Lin Xiuyi saw that the face of the real pot criminal showed an embarrassed expression, and then stopped asking the real pot criminal. He held up the map again, taking a closer look at the surroundings of the area.

It is a residential area divided by highways and commercial belts, and most of the buildings are built on private land, large and small, with some apartments and commercial facilities. Other than that, there are only a few public facilities such as schools and parks. However, most of these public areas and commercial real estate are equipped with surveillance equipment, and they do not look like ideal hiding places for suspects at all.

"The police department?"

Seeing that Lin Xiu didn't speak for a long time, the real pot criminal who was standing on the side hurriedly asked Lin Xiuyi for advice.

"Ahh

Lin Xiu had always said a word to the real pot who was standing on the side, and then he was reincarnated and walked to a fork in the road next to him and left here alone.

Lin Xiuyi's plan was like this, he planned to take a rough look around this area first, and see with his own eyes if there was anything worth noticing here. Because there was no exact purpose, Lin Xiuyi was of course not so anxious.

Walking through the streets in late autumn and early winter, Lin Xiu felt a chill from time to time. At this time, it was probably the time to go to work, so there were few pedestrians on the streets. Most office workers should start working at this time, but housewives who have to get up early in the morning to prepare breakfast and bento boxes for their husbands and school-going children should take the opportunity to rest at home.

Lin Xiuyi walked forward while thinking, and before he knew it, he came to the vicinity of the park marked on the map. Because of the long walk and the cold weather, Lin Xiuyi suddenly wanted to sit down and drink something hot. Just then he saw a small shop selling croquettes on the side of the road, so he walked straight to it.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

"That...... How do you sell the croquettes made by Omi beef?"

"It's 300 yen for one, and 500 yen for two!"

"Then please bring me two croquettes, by the way, do you have any warmer drinks here?"

"Sorry, we don't have any drinks here, but there's an automatic drink machine over there, you can go there if you need to......! Need help separating it?"

"Is that okay? Then I'll have to separate it! Where's the sauce?"

"Over there, 20 yen a pack!"

"Oh, then I'll have another packet of sauce!"

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, the clerk immediately picked up two paper bags, put the freshly baked croquettes into different paper bags, and then put the croquettes into a larger bag along with a packet of sauce.

"Thank you for your patronage, 520 yen in total"

Hearing the price quoted by the store, Lin Xiuyi immediately took out 520 yen from his wallet and handed it to the other party. Then he took the croquettes handed by the other party.

After buying a refreshing can of cold beer from the nearest drink vending machine, Lin Xiuyi sat straight on the bench on the side of the road, and said to himself with some self-reproach:

"Alas...... Whether I'm here to investigate the case or have a picnic, forget it, since I've bought it all, it's better to eat it with peace of mind!"

As soon as Lin Xiu thought of this, he took out a croquette from the bag, then tore open the sauce packet and poured it evenly on it, and then carefully took a bite.

"Whew!"

The hot croquettes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. With the sauce and the taste of Omi beef, it is simply a supreme delicacy for Lin Xiuyi at this time!

"Smack!"

Pulling the tab of the beer, Lin Xiu took a big sip of the beer as soon as he lifted it. Although the weather is still a little cold, Lin Xiuyi still likes to use cold beer with hot croquettes. This is the only way to bring out 100% of the flavor of croquettes.

"Ah......! Sure enough, eating like this is the most correct choice!"

Lin Xiuyi put down the beer in his hand with emotion, and just as he picked up the croquettes to take another bite, he suddenly saw a man standing not far from him, who had just gotten up from the bench, staring at him with stunned eyes.

As Lin Xiuyi bit down on the second bite of the Coke cake, the man's Adam's apple couldn't help but tremble, it looked like he should be swallowing saliva!

"It looks like a vagabond! It's such a pitiful cold day!"

Lin Xiu, who was feeling pity, thought about it for a moment, and then took out another croquet in the bag and handed it to the man who was watching him.

"That...... If you don't mind, please eat it!"

"Eh, are you going to give it to me? No, no, no, that's embarrassing!"

Although the homeless man refused, his eyes were always fixed on the croquet in Lin Xiu's hand!

"You're welcome, this is a freshly cooked croquette, I've already eaten one, and if I eat the other, it's a bit reluctant, and once it's cold, it won't have that texture!"

"You're right, if that's a waste of your mind, then...... Then you're welcome!"

After accepting Lin Xiuyi's invitation, the man immediately stood up from the chair, and then walked over to Lin Xiuyi with some restraint, and then stood in front of Lin Xiuyi, bowed to him gratefully, knowing that after doing this, he took the croquet in Lin Xiuyi's hand, carefully tore open the paper bag, and then took a small bite gently.

"Huhu...... Delicious!"

"Oh...... There's some leftover sauce here, if you don't mind, please!"

"Thank you so much, do you have any beer left?"

"This ...... I've already drunk it, so wait a minute, I'll go buy you another can!"

"No need, just give me the rest of yours, I've already received a lot of favors from you, and then you can still break the bank......!" Yes...... I've forgotten when I had such a hot croquette!"

Seeing the happy expression on the other party's face when he ate the croquette, Lin Xiuyi suddenly felt that it was more happy to invite the other party to eat another piece of croquet than to eat it himself!
