After nightfall, everyone who had been out for an afternoon returned to the hotel one after another, intending to taste the well-received Western food together. The reason why I chose to eat Western food instead of Japanese food is mainly because it is rare to have a very good Western restaurant in the hotel, and if I choose to eat Japanese food, I will waste such a good opportunity. Therefore, under Lin Xiuyi's proposal, everyone finally chose to dine in the restaurant of the Prince Hotel.

Just as she was about to return to the hotel, Miki suddenly asked Reina to accompany her to a nearby boutique women's clothing store. Originally, Lin Xiuyi planned to go with them, but Miki and Reina politely refused Lin Xiuyi's follow. At this time, Lin Xiuyi could only go back to the hotel alone to change clothes, and when he returned to the cabin where everyone lived, he didn't wait long to meet Urashima and Fumiki, who had returned from the White Silk Waterfall.

"How's the afternoon going?"

"Hmm...... It's still quite rewarding, and I took a lot of good photos. Eh...... Where's Miki-senpai and Reina-chan? Didn't you go out together?"

"They went shopping together, and said let's go to the restaurant first and wait for them, and they will be there in a moment. I've already changed my clothes, what about you, do you want to go over first?"

Urashima and Fumiki agreed, and then each took out a coat from their luggage and put it on their bodies. Although the restaurant does not require guests to wear formal dress to enter, most people still wear a jacket to avoid being too unusual. However, for Lin Shuichi and Urashima, the so-called coat is just a jacket for a suit.

After coming out of the room, Lin Xiuyi, Urashima and Wenji came to the Western restaurant in advance. Once they had chosen a seat for six people, the waiters in the restaurant brought them water, bread and a menu.

"Can you wait a minute, we still have companions yet!"

"Oh...... Ok sir, feel free to contact me if you need it!"

After returning the menu to the waiter, Lin Xiuyi casually asked about Urashima and Fumiki's experience when they went to Baisi Waterfall in the afternoon, and although Urashima was full of praise for it, Fumiki scoffed at Urashima's statement.

"It's just a frozen river, I really don't know why someone would go to such a cold day!"

……

Just when Lin Xiuyi and the others were chatting, Ling Nai ran to Lin Xiuyi's side from somewhere, and bent down to greet him at any time:

"I've kept you waiting, Ernie Sauce!"

"Uh...... Aren't you going shopping with Miki?

"Sister Miki, I'll just say that Ernie sauce won't recognize you!"

As she spoke, Ling Nai pushed a lady beside her in front of her, and then happily introduced to Lin Xiuyi:

"How's it going, Ernie-chan?"

"Won't it?"

"Miki-senpai?"

"Oune-chan?"

……

"What's wrong? Is it because I'm wearing something weird?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi and Urashima, even his younger brother stared at him in surprise. Miki looked at her body a little puzzled, it didn't seem to be a problem!

"The police department, it's the first time I know that Miki-senpai looks so good in a skirt......"

"Urashima-kun, it seems that it is the first time I have seen her dressed like this, and it feels like a different person!"

"Don't talk about you, even my own brother doesn't know that she still has such a side, Oune-chan, Saigao!"

……

After experiencing the initial amazement, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly got up and opened the seat for Miki. After Miki was seated, Lin Xiuyi greeted the waiter in the restaurant.

"Excuse me, we can order!"

……

Taking the menu handed over by the waiter, Lin Xiuyi asked for a salad with shrimp and red kidney beans sweet and sour, a truffle lobster soup, and lamb shank baked in hollandaise sauce and red wine stew. After everyone had finished ordering their favorite dishes, Lin Xiuyi asked the other party what red wine was worth trying in the restaurant.

"Excuse me, do you have the Château Margaux that I saw on the wine list now?"

"Hey...... Do you really want to ask?"

Just as Lin Xiuyi was about to confirm with the waiter, Miki suddenly grabbed him, and then shook his head a little embarrassed.

"The police, the ...... It's too expensive! 180,000 yen a bottle!"

"Don't worry, the Americans gave us a lot of bonuses for the previous human smuggling case? Since it is difficult for everyone to go on vacation, we can also enjoy it!"

Lin Xiuyi said comfortably to Miki, and then said affirmatively to the waiter:

"Please open a bottle of Margaux for us!"

……

Although Lin Xiuyi rarely opened a bottle of good wine, among the five people present, Ling Nai and Wen Ji did not reach the legal drinking age, plus Lin Xiuyi and the others were all law enforcers, so naturally they would not do anything that violated the law. When the dishes were served one after another, everyone tasted the dishes on the plate, and couldn't help but feel a sigh while talking about the cases they had handled in the past year.

"The police department...... Speaking of which, it's really a pity that Ryo Chiba really died!"

Hearing Miki mention Chiba Ryojin, Reina couldn't help but be a little curious, after all, she had met each other a few times before, although there was no more in-depth interaction, but a person she knew passed away like this, Reina would still be more or less concerned.

"Ernie-chan, why did Chiba-kun choose to commit suicide? I read in the magazine that he seems to have directed and acted in this kidnapping case!"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard Ling Nai's question, he put down the fork in his hand! He picked up the napkin, wiped the stains on the side of his mouth, and then sighed and said to Ling Nai:

"Although I and Chiba-kun's position is not moving, but I don't think he is a bad person, the reason why Chiba-kun chose to commit suicide, in addition to the guilt of Nana Kobayakawa, there is a more important reason is that he is very ashamed of his betrayal of the HORIPRO office, about this, which is also clearly mentioned in Chiba's suicide note. In the final analysis, when Chiba chooses to help his friend get out of trouble and make up for the guilt of his lover, I am afraid that the only thing to do is to betray his own office. ”

"Huh...... I can't imagine that Chiba's predecessors are such a person! It seems that the name of the little prince of the scandal before is completely a misunderstanding, and it's a pity that so many people believe that statement. ”

Ling Nai heard Lin Xiuyi's explanation and said with feeling.

"Although people who violate the law are not necessarily bad people, no matter how noble the excuse is, it is not a reason to violate the law! It is precisely because many people do not understand this truth that there will always be those regrettable cases!"

After Lin Xiuyi finished saying this, he immediately picked up the tableware again and tasted his dishes seriously.
