Chapter 41 Social Relationship Screening
"It's really unexpected, it seems that the life of an artist is not easy!"
After leaving Ryoshin Chiba's apartment, Shuichi Hayashi immediately said goodbye to Mr. Kusakabe of the HORIPRO office. Lin Shuichi and Miki plan to visit Nana Kobayakawa who once had an affair with Ryoma Chiba to see if they can find out anything from her.
Shuichi Hayashi and Miki drove away from Shirokane Takanawa and headed for the Roppongi area, where the Kenne office was located. Along the way, the two chatted about the income of artists, and they couldn't help but feel a little incomprehensible.
The car drove all the way to the northeast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the destination of the trip, and when Shuichi Hayashi and Miki came to the front desk of the office to explain their intentions, they didn't expect to meet Aizawa and Hanagata here.
"You ...... Why did you get here?"
Lin Xiuyi asked Aizawa and Hanagata in surprise, and the two of them were also very surprised to see Lin Xiuyi appear here,
"Police, you ...... Could it be that you also made a special trip here for the case of Ryo Chiba?"
"Hmm...... Miki and I just came from Ryojin Chiba's residence, so ...... Is it now the Shenmu seniors of the Seventh Department who are officially taking over this case?"
"Uh...... This!"
"The police department...... Miki senior...... You're here so soon!"
Just when Lin Xiuyi's question was just spoken, before Aizawa and Hanagata could answer, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Kamajima-kun, aren't you following the phone in the identification class?"
Lin Xiuyi asked his subordinate Urashima Yongdou with some surprise.
"Yes, I just met Hanagata and Aizawa seniors in the identification class, and they saw me come over with a mobile phone, so they asked me whose mobile phone it was, so I told them roughly what happened, and as soon as the two seniors heard that one of the calls was from Nana Kobayakawa, they immediately became enthusiastic, and they had to take me over to ask each other......
Aizawa and Hanagata, who were standing next to Lin Xiu, desperately gestured to Urashima, signaling him to stop talking. After all, using the opportunity of work to satisfy his gossip heart, and then finding a chance to meet the lovely Nana-chan by the way, this kind of thing is really a bit embarrassing for the police if it is said directly! It's a pity that Urashima, who is bent on reporting to Lin Shuichi, didn't understand Aizawa and Hanagata's prompts.
"Excuse me...... Are you the same police gentlemen who came to Nana-chan?"
Just as Lin Xiuyi listened to Urashima's introduction and looked at Aizawa and Hanagata with a serious face, a professional woman in her thirties, who looked very fashionable, walked up to everyone and asked everyone with some uncertainty.
"Hmm...... Yes, I'm Lin Shuichi from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, these are all colleagues who came with me, we have some questions I would like to ask Nana Kobayakawa of your company, I don't know if she is here now!"
"A search lesson? may I ask...... What are you doing for ......?"
"Let's wait until we meet Ms. Kobayakawa!"
After listening to Lin Xiuyi's explanation, the lady who came to receive them was a little surprised, but still took them to the reception room, and then served tea. After about twenty minutes of waiting, when the door of the reception room was pushed open again, a young woman who looked quite familiar quietly walked in.
"Excuse me...... Are you the same police gentlemen who came to me?"
Seeing that the other party had walked into the room, Lin Xiuyi and the others hurriedly got up and replied:
"Hey!"
"That...... What the hell are you looking for me?"
Nana Kobayakawa had a nervous look on her face, and a pair of charming big eyes swept over Lin Xiuyi and the others from time to time.
When everyone sat down, Lin Xiuyi raised his head and carefully looked at the girl sitting opposite him. The skin that can be broken by blowing can be blown away, and there is a faint ruddy in the whiteness, and the flaxen-colored hair is combed into a twisted braid and lightly tied behind the head, and the whip is naturally placed on the bare fragrant shoulders. The whole person looks as seductive as the cute girl next door.
Since sitting down, Nana Kobayakawa has stopped talking, just lowered her head a little nervously, and her hands are a little uncomfortable on her skirt. It gives people a feeling of pity.
"We're here today mainly to ask you about it, are you dating Ryoma Chiba, an artist from the HORIPRO office?"
Lin Xiu thought for a moment, and when he thought of the pregnancy test stick that he didn't know who it belonged to, he felt a burst of embarrassment in his heart, if it was just himself and Miki present, it would be better to say, there are a total of five policemen present now, four of them are men, let a teenage girl really have so many strange men being asked if they are pregnant, this is too embarrassing!
Hearing Lin Xiuyi's question, Nana Kobayakawa raised her head and glanced at Lin Xiuyi, and then she lowered her head again and avoided Lin Xiuyi's gaze a little shyly. After a moment of silence, Nana Kobayakawa finally nodded and acknowledged her relationship with Ryoma Chiba.
"Are you really dating? Excuse me, have you been in touch lately?"
After Lin Xiu repeatedly received Nana Kobayakawa's response, he immediately looked at Miki, who had already recorded the conversation between Nana Kobayakawa and Lin Shuichi with a pen.
"We ...... Because of work...... Only the occasional contact!"
Nana Kobayakawa raised her head and replied to Lin Xiuyi with some hesitation.
"And what do you usually talk about with each other......? If it's inconvenient, forget it!"
"This ...... Sometimes he talks about work, sometimes he talks about school, and occasionally he ...... Sorry, can I not say it?"
"Then have you noticed that Chiba-kun has been in trouble or unhappy lately, or has he talked to you about similar topics?"
"This ...... Sorry, we don't seem to have talked about anything like this between us!"
"Well, just an hour ago, you just talked to Chiba-kun on the phone, if it's convenient, can you tell us what you talked about on the phone?"
I heard Lin Xiuyi suddenly ask about the phone call an hour ago. Nana Kobayakawa raised her head in some surprise, and asked Lin Xiuyi with a panicked expression.
"You...... How do you know?"
