Chapter 20: Blind Date

"This is a gift from Kyoto, and I hope you don't dislike it!"

As he spoke, the supervisor of Yuan Zhizhu, who had not been masked for a long time, handed a box of dim sum to Lin Xiuyi. Lin Xiuyi felt a little surprised and took the other party's gift, and then looked down at the packaging outside.

"Is it the yokan from Toranya Ryao? I really didn't expect the overseer to bring us such famous Japanese sweets! So...... Have you finished your official business in Kyoto?"

Lin Xiuyi thanked Yuan Zhizhu gratefully, and then asked about the other party's affairs in Kyoto.

"There's still a bit of trouble over there! I think...... I'm going to be there for a few more days. The reason why I came back today is actually because of another thing, by the way, Xiu Yijun, I don't know if you have time at night?

No wonder the overseer would bring us such a precious gift, if I'm not mistaken, this should be from the head office!"

"It's not a secret, there is indeed a little help today that needs your help, the so-called courtesy to others, there must be something to ask for is this truth, that ...... Xiu Yijun should have time tonight!"

"Huh?"

"If it's convenient, if it's convenient, I can't go to a party with me? To be honest, I really can't find a suitable person for a while except you!"

"So...... May I ask what kind of party it is, whether it's a work or a private one!"

"The nature of the private nature, in fact, is like this, a few days ago a good relative of my family introduced me to a lady who was on a blind date. I couldn't get away with it, so I had to rush back from Kyoto. But...... The other party seems to be a shy lady, and it is said that there will be another lady to accompany you when you meet for the first time. So...... I thought maybe if I called you, it would make the night time less difficult!"

"Phase...... Blind date, Ombudsman, haven't you married yet?"

Hearing Gen Zhizhu's explanation, Urashima couldn't help but ask him with some surprise.

"Alas...... But the lady I met this time had an extraordinary relationship with my relative, and I only went to meet him because I couldn't shirk it. So, Xiu Yijun just needs to sit there and enjoy the food tonight. ”

"Since there is such a good thing, then I really can't excuse myself, then, I wish you a successful blind date, and I can also take this opportunity to taste tonight's food...... By the way, it's inconvenient for the county to disclose that the place where you and the other party met at night was ......"

"That relative of mine has already booked a place for us at Yamadaya in Nishiazabu, by the way, Shuichi-kun, fugu or something, you should be fine!"

"Fugu, I don't think I've had a chance to eat such high-end food!"

……

When the day's work was over, Lin Xiuyi said goodbye to Miki and Urashima and went straight to the underground parking lot, just when he just stepped out of the elevator, a beautiful Tesla Model X sports car slowly stopped in front of Lin Xiuyi, and then the door slowly rose.

Seeing Yuan Zhizhu change to another car, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he still got into the car without hesitation, and then saw the car door above his head slowly descend.

"The Ombudsman has a new hobby?"

"No...... I just thought that I might inevitably have some alcohol in the evening, so I picked a car that could take me home, and that's it!"

When Lin Xiuyi fastened his seat belt, the car started slowly, and then drove out of the underground parking lot of the Metropolitan Police Department, heading in the direction of Salap Platinum.

When the car drove onto the main road of the city, Yuan Zhizhu turned on the automatic driving mode, and then chatted with Lin Xiuyi with confidence.

"That...... Akemi's new drama seems to be very popular, Shuicchi-kun should have already seen it!"

"It's a pity that I missed the day of the broadcast for some reason that I couldn't refuse, so ...... I haven't seen that series yet......! The reason why the Ombudsman asked me to accompany you on a blind date was because I already had a sweetheart?"

"Oh...... I didn't think about it like that, I just thought that if I went to the banquet alone, the scene might be very embarrassing! So, if I could, please find an excuse to help me get out in a while. ”

"Well, what do we use as an excuse to leave in a moment?"

"Uh...... Why don't you just use official business as an excuse!"

"Okay!"

Just after Yuan Zhizhu and Lin Xiuyi agreed on an excuse to retreat for a while, the car was almost ready to reach its destination. As soon as the car pulled off the main road, Gen immediately canceled the autopilot function and took over the car again. As the destination gradually approached, Yuan Zhizhu controlled the car and slowly parked on the parking space on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car, Yuan Zhizhu looked at the time on his wrist, and then walked into the Yamada Residence with Lin Xiuyi. Although the restaurant is famous in Tokyo for its three-star Michelin rating, Yamadai is actually just a low-key shop tucked away on the side of Nishiazabu Street, and when Hayashi Shuichi and Genji Taketsuyoshi walked into the restaurant, they immediately spotted two ladies by the window.

"Li...... Miss Catherine, why are you ......?"

"Oh, Officer Lin, long time no see!"

"Wait a minute, Xiu Yijun, do you know each other?"

"Eh, isn't it the Inspector that the object of your blind date is Miss Li Fan?"

……

When everyone met, everyone couldn't help but feel stunned. Li Fan was embarrassed by the situation in front of him. Originally, I just reluctantly came to participate in the blind date because I couldn't shirk it. But I didn't expect to meet Lin Xiuyi here, which is really embarrassing!

Lin Xiuyi saw Yuan Zhizhu's somewhat surprised expression, so he hurriedly introduced to him:

"Ah, Inspector, let me introduce you! This is my classmate in college, Riho Kirishima! Lifan, this is my boss and colleague in the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Genzhizhu, and the lady next to her is Lifan's good friend, Miss Catherine!"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi knew all the people present, Yuan Zhizhu couldn't help but bow his head in surprise, and then said to Li Fan politely:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lifan. My name is Yuan Zhizhu, I am a colleague of Xiu Yijun, I am meeting for the first time, please take care of me!"
