Chapter 8: Observation

"To be honest, I am not a fan of classical music, but I can also hear that lady's piano skills are superb, and there is some sadness in the music! To be honest, this is the first time I have felt the emotions of the performers from the music, and her performance has given me an experience that I have never experienced before......

Lin Xiuyi introduced to Shohei Kono. As a child who grew up with his grandmother, Lin Xiuyi never had the opportunity to enjoy a solo piano from a distance.

"Are you sad? I see that the two ladies over there seem to be having a good chat with the man I just met!" Kono Shohei turned his head and observed for a while, and then asked Lin Xiuyi with some suspicion.

"Words and expressions can hide people's true thoughts, but when playing music, it is a rare opportunity to open up to others...... Lin Xiuyi said seriously.

"But I've heard that 'Ghost of the Night' is originally a sad song, isn't it the influence of the music itself!" Shohei Kono asked Lin Shuichi for advice again.

Lin Xiu smiled and did not answer the question raised by Kono. This kind of feeling is really not something that can be explained clearly in words. However, from the time when she was enjoying the music in the lounge, the girl named Sakura aroused Lin Xiuyi's interest enough.

Actually, it's not just Sakurako, but also her companion, the girl named Erika. In the lounge just now, while most of the audience was listening carefully to Sakurako's performance, she kept looking at her phone absentmindedly. But that doesn't tell the whole story.

In addition to these two beautiful ladies, the man who came to talk to him also aroused Lin Xiuyi's curiosity. Is it really good to pick up a strange girl on a train in a place like Cassiopeia?

On top of that, the girl named Erika seems to be very enthusiastic about matching her friend Sakurako and the strange gentleman, and meets a man on the train who is in love, and starts a romantic love affair, which is a common episode in manga, but if it happens in real life, it will make people feel very surprised.

At this moment, on top of this luxurious dining car, almost all the passengers on the train are gathered. Lin Xiuyi was talking to Kono while secretly looking at the passengers on the train. Everyone should have a good life, after all, Cassiopeia's fares are almost uncompetitive compared to low-cost airlines in terms of speed and cost-effectiveness.

He swept his gaze to the corner, and one of the passengers he had just met in the lounge nodded to him as a greeting. When he was in the lounge, Lin Xiuyi once asked the other party if Sakura played the "Ghost of the Night" suite, and got a positive answer from the other party, so it can be judged that the other party seems to have some understanding of this song.

"Do you know that gentleman over there?" Kono noticed Lin Xiuyi's actions, he was already a sociable person, and as a civil servant, Kono had been seizing every opportunity to expand his network, and he took the initiative to come to meet Lin Xiuyi for this purpose.

If there were other people Lin Xiuyi knew on the train, Kono naturally hoped that Lin Xiuyi would introduce the other party to him. After returning to Japan, he heard from alumni of the Ministry of Justice that Shuichi Hayashi visited Minister Ando shortly after the new Minister of Justice Nobuko Ando took office. Therefore, Kono believes that Hayashi Shuichi and the Minister of Justice are likely to have some close personal relationship. Therefore, he was extremely attentive to Lin Xiu.

"I can't talk about acquaintance, it's just that we just had a relationship!" Lin Xiu turned around and explained to Shohei Kono.

"Shuichi-kun, have you noticed his cufflinks, Deakin & Francis's solid gold custom, it wouldn't be much if it was just like this, but the JR logo on it shows the identity of the other party very well. If my guess is correct, the other party should be a senior executive of the East RB Railway Company......" Shohei Kono said half-jokingly.

"Your observation skills are good!" Lin Xiuyi said with some surprise.

"The basic skills of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs bureaucrats are just that, not worth mentioning! By the way, Shuichi-kun, it's a pleasure to meet you, and everyone will have to keep in touch often when they return to Tokyo in the future!" Kono looked at the time, the two had already drunk about the same, plus everyone had just met, and there were not many common topics, so they simply separated, and they would just find opportunities to interact with each other in the future.

After separating from Kono, Lin Xiuyi returned to his box, and he drank coffee for a while in the tea room on the second floor. About an hour later, Lin Xiuyi walked into the bathroom, and after putting the hot water on, he soaked his entire body in the hot water.

The experience of bathing on the train is so rare. Lin Xiuyi soaked in warm water for a long time and felt the feeling of relaxation and comfort that he had not felt for a long time. He wondered if he could drink a cold bottle of chocolate milk after he got out of prison (PS: see "Daytime Bathhouse Wine")

The train is expected to arrive in Aomori City at 8 o'clock the next morning, and Lin Shuichi came out of the bathroom and lay in bed to pass the time on his mobile phone. It's probably been a long time since he went out, Lin Xiuyi, who was lying on the bed, never felt sleepy, so he simply watched the latest published "Girl Criminal" for a while to pass the time, just like usual, Lin Xiuyi fell asleep not long after.

Although "Girl Criminal" now has a certain degree of popularity, and it is no longer the small street when it first came out, it still does not have the appetite for Lin Xiuyi, for Lin Xiuyi, the hypnotic effect of Girl Criminal is comparable to sleeping pills. Even at the most stressful moment of the Tokyo subway bombing, Lin Shuichi was able to sleep peacefully with the help of "Girl Criminal", of course, this kind of thing can never be told to Miko.

……

After dark, Cassiopeia galloped under the moonlight, and the lights of most of the boxes on the car had been extinguished. Many passengers have fallen asleep, and the lights in the corridors are starting to dim in the carriages.

Sakurako, who has something in her heart, tosses and turns in the box, can't sleep at night, and thinks that tomorrow she will say goodbye to this country forever, farewell to her own hard work, Sakurako's heart is dripping blood. He Feng Lan was like her child, and she really couldn't tolerate that He Feng Lan would collapse after she left.

"Maybe I should explain it to Erika, at least there is hope that Hefeng Lan will continue to operate in her hands. Thinking of this, Sakurako rolled over from the bed, put on her yukata and left the box.

She walked to the door of the next compartment and wanted to knock on the door, but saw that the sliding door swayed back and forth with the inertia of the train, and did not seem to close. The curious Sakurako gently pushed open the sliding door of the Erika-chan box.

"Ah......h

A terrible scream resounded through the quiet carriage, and the peace on the Cassiopeia seat was completely broken.
