Looking at the picture in the news, Nobunaga's hands trembled a little and he lit a hand-rolled cigarette.

Smoke one.

It's finally come to this.

Finish a cigarette.

Nobunaga found that the hand-rolled cigarette in the cigarette case was the last one.

Remove a can of tobacco leaves.

…………

This is a roasted storage tobacco leaf.

The roasted tobacco leaves are generally dry and fragile.

First spread the tobacco leaves, remove the impurities on the tobacco leaves, fill the watering can with warm water and spray it gently, spraying water on both sides.

Tobacco leaves indicate that there is water mist but no water beads as the standard. At this point, the tobacco leaves should be as soft and foldable as silk.

Next, Nobunaga used a silver-plated tobacco knife to shred the tobacco leaves......

"Ding! Nobunaga handmade cigarettes that entered the house. ”

Nobunaga Hato, while cutting tobacco and rolling cigarettes, lit a cigarette and smoked.

After smoking five cigarettes in a row, anxiety and uneasiness drifted away with the smoke, and the house was filled with a miasma......

………………………………

In the afternoon, Nobunaga was pushing the bicycle at the door, preparing to go to the school to look for Mei.

Preparing to ride, I met a girl wearing a high school blue and white sailor suit, and her skin was so fair that it glowed.

It's Kifu Taro's sister, Mei.

The two returned to the Yangquan restaurant, and the choking smell of smoke inside caused Mei to cough.

Nobunaga opened the window to ventilate and brought Mei a cup of hot barley tea.

Nobunaga asked, "Have you seen Gifutaro lately?" ”

Mei shook her head: "No." But in the mailbox at the door of the dormitory, there was an application fee left for me. The letter said that it was for me to participate in Keio University, the application fee for the comprehensive selection. ”

Keio University is a top private university in RB. There is a high registration fee to apply, and the exam registration fee is also an important source of income for RB universities.

Nobunaga was thinking about how to explain to Mei the news content in Hokkaido TV.

Mei took a sip of barley tea and continued, "Nobunaga-kun, did you see the news report this morning?" ”

Nobunaga was stunned and said, "I'm preparing to discuss this matter with you. ”

Mei's slender fingers gently brushed the arc of the teacup and said, "My brother once showed me two lock sickles. The kind of soft weapon that requires skill. I'm worried he's hurting himself. ”

"Surprisingly, my brother seems to be very talented in using that kind of unpopular weapon......"

The two chatted for a while, tacitly acknowledging each other.

"Mei, you move back to Yangquan Restaurant." Nobunaga Hatoshi proposed.

Nobunaga Hato, considering the Yoshida family's power in Yubari City, had to prepare for the worst.

The incident of Goro Kamado has proven the power of this family in the dark world.

If Kifutaro is exposed, Mei will definitely be in danger as well.

"Hmm." Mei looked at Nobunaga and nodded.

………………………………

In the evening of the same day, Mei moved out of the school dormitory and returned to live in Yangquan Restaurant.

Mei's room is next to Kifutaro's room on the second floor. After she moved out of her high school accommodation, her room was empty.

After the room was cleaned up briefly, Mei began to use an oil-based pen to sketch a network of relationships between the characters on the daytime shift in the room.

She cut the news content of the newspaper into tofu blocks, and took out a stack of reports full of labels, and pasted a magnet on the top of the whiteboard, and soon the whiteboard was full.

…………

Late at night, Mei's room was still lit.

Nobunaga went downstairs to get a box of Yanagizuki North Coffee Jelly and knocked on Mei's door.

Coffee jelly for a simple dessert.

Black coffee jelly, often drizzled with cream or vanilla ice cream. This kind of dessert is often found in an old café.

Coffee jelly is a thing, you can't make a good taste without good coffee.

If a café doesn't make good coffee, you don't expect to get a good jelly.

Yanagizuki North Cafe is famous for its high quality coffee in the Hokkaido region.

This is the famous and delicious Liuyue North Coffee Jelly.

…………

Mei loves desserts.

When Mei was in junior high school, when Mei was still living in Yangquan Restaurant, she had to eat a piece of Liuyuebei coffee jelly every day after school.

Hokkaido's Yanagitsuki North Coffee Jelly is a palace-grade coffee jelly made with iced drip coffee, and the Q bomb is tender.

If you eat it alone, the coffee has a strong flavor;

With cream and ice cream, the aftertaste is endless;

…………

"How's the investigation going?" Nobunaga asked as he handed the dessert to Ume.

"At present, the direction of the police investigation should still be the coal workers' autonomous group."

"But if the stupid brother takes action again, then the situation may be uncertain. On the one hand, the police will definitely raise their vigilance, and on the other hand, the stupid brother will definitely leave more clues and evidence. ”

Mei replied with a few sentences of investigation, pointed to the clue map on the whiteboard, and motioned for Nobunaga to look at it.

She tore open the packaging of Liu Yuebei's coffee jelly with her teeth, used her cherry-like delicate red and tender lips, leaned down to bite the black coffee jelly, squeezed it with her lips, and the tender Q elastic coffee jelly slid along the tip of her tongue, and the neck part was as white as snow, with obvious swallowing action......

Nobunaga was stunned and swallowed his saliva.

………………………………

Nobunaga looked at the data and analysis that Mei had put together.

On the whiteboard are dense pieces of paper, connecting lines, and remarks.

The small piece of paper contains the names of the people, the news reports cut out of the newspaper, and the financial reports of Yubari New Carbon Mining......

The area covers the Yubari City Police Headquarters, the City Council, the Yubari City Court, and the Yubari City Hall...... It's like a huge spider's web, enveloping the big shots of the entire Yubari City.

Twelve terms of municipal councillors, two terms of mayor of Yubari City, the Yoshida family.

The family heritage can be seen.

The core of the entire cobweb is the pillar of the Yoshida family.

Mayor of Yubari City, Hisashi Yoshida.

…………

Wait a minute......

Look at the materials on the whiteboard.

Nobunaga Hato, gradually feeling that something is wrong.

If Gifutaro is to be stopped, shouldn't the investigation revolve around the location where Gifutaro might be hiding?

…………

"Ume, ...... your investigative idea," Nobunaga Hato, after considering his words, couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?"

Mei, who was bulging in her mouth and holding coffee jelly, blinked her big eyes and looked at Nobunaga innocently.
