The second floor of the high-end western restaurant is decorated with more care than the first floor, which can be seen from the large and small ornaments.

Before entering the staff lounge, Fujiwara Yu did not forget to look at the private box next door, and the open door could see that the wall inside was a soundproof wall, which was indeed a private space enough, and he couldn't know what was going on outside.

In order to ensure that the normal operation of the restaurant was not affected, Seishi Ichihara, who was the manager, also actively cooperated, and he walked into the lounge with the restaurant staff after a busy day, and finally under the hesitation of a waitress, she nodded her head to indicate that she had an impression of Maeda Fumika.

Fujiwara Yo and Takagi Wataru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, they almost thought that this clue was going to be broken.

"Then have you noticed that the boy who walked with her should be about 1.8 meters tall and dyed with silver medium-length hair." The female clerk thought carefully for a while, she shook her head and denied: "No, I have the impression that she came alone, because she booked a private box, so we can't see guests who enter the box through the special passage." ”

"Special passage?" Fujiwara Yo Wei frowned, looked at Ichihara Seishi and asked, "Store manager Ichihara, can you explain it for me?" Ichihara smiled and led the two police officers to the door of the box next door, he pointed to the hanging picture hanging on the wall, and said: "Actually, this box is a design that I am proud of, the underground parking garage of our restaurant is connected to the apartment building next door, so I came up with a brilliant idea, set up a private box, install an elevator inside the box, guests can come up directly from the underground parking garage, and the meal will not come into contact with any customers and employees in the store, Wait until the end of the meal to make a phone call and open the box door, this design is very popular with people in the entertainment industry~" Fujiwara Yu walked to the front of the painting, as long as he walked in, he could easily tell that the painting was engraved on the elevator door, and there were also hidden squares on the wall next to it, as long as the lower block was pressed, the elevator located on the basement floor would come up, so that it could successfully avoid the monitoring of the store.

It seems that it is not so easy to find Seonta, and the monitoring may not have the content I want.

But for the sake of caution, he and Wataru Takagi still felt that it was necessary to investigate the surveillance, and it was not possible to say that the man was a regular customer of the Western restaurant - but when they got an answer from the manager of Ichihara, they were surprised.

"Officer Eagle Division, I'm really sorry that there is a problem with the memory card where the surveillance video is stored, and all the surveillance video cannot be viewed." Ichihara Seishi took out the memory card that was artificially broken, and said apologetically.

Why did the killer destroy the memory card? This is the doubt in Fujiwara's heart. You must know that the murderer was not witnessed by the employees in the store, which means that he came up on a private elevator, as for Maeda Fumika, she came to this Western restaurant for the first time, and she must have come in from the main entrance of the restaurant without a reminder from Nishiyong Zenta.

It is impossible for the surveillance to photograph Zenta Nishiyong, why did he destroy the entire memory card directly? Wouldn't that be too much?

Seeing the two police officers bowing their heads in contemplation, Ichihara asked cautiously, "Well, is there anything else the two officers need help with?" If not, I still have some things to take care of on my side, so I'll go first. ”

"Oh, it's okay anymore, you go get busy." Fujiwara Yo and Wataru Takagi didn't linger at the restaurant any longer, and now that the trail is completely broken, all they can do is check the nearby road surveillance to see if they can find footage of Fumika Maeda leaving the restaurant.

If not...... Then you can only use the stupidest way to investigate all the vehicles that appeared in the road monitoring after half past eight in the evening on January 10, and check them one by one from the owner.

"Huh? Wait a minute! Fujiwara Yo paused to push the door, turned his head to look at Wataru Takagi, who was parked in front of the store, and followed his gaze to the staff hanging on the wall, and when he saw someone smiling brightly in the center, his eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Silver, medium-length hair, 1.8 meters tall, and thin build. The person who fully meets this condition is the store manager Seishi Ichihara, who is surrounded by employees in the middle!

Wataru Takagi leaned into Sosuke Takaji's ear and whispered his thoughts: "Police Department, did you say that the manager of the store in Ichihara dyed his hair color after committing the murder?" Employees generally don't point the finger at their store manager, and I think Ichihara's store manager seems to be a pretty good person on weekdays. ”

"Most likely, it also makes sense why the surveillance video in the store was vandalized." Fujiwara glanced vaguely at Seishi Ichihara, who was chatting and laughing with customers with a bottle of white wine, and said in a deep voice, "He doesn't want us to find out, his previous hair color was silver." Takagi, you have good insight, and you almost missed an important clue. ”

"Hehe, it's all the police department that you taught well, I often see you pay attention to the details of the eucalyptus scene, so now you have developed the habit of not letting go of any details." Wataru Takagi smiled embarrassedly, and his mood after being praised by his boss was naturally very good.

However, he also knows very well that he can indeed enjoy this praise now, but he can't be proud of it, and he has to work harder!

Fujiwara Yo smiled hoarsely, and after the two returned to the car, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Yuji Hashimoto as soon as possible.

The name that asked him to investigate this time was not without many clues

"Nishiyong Zenta", but has a well-known western restaurant in Chiba Prefecture

"Makoto Ichihara". Yuji Hashimoto on the other end of the phone quickly found the information of Seishi Ichihara, and when he saw the property under his name, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, he is indeed a rich man, there are six properties in Chiba Prefecture alone, and there are also properties in Tokyo city and Hokkaido." The police department, do you want to send you all the property addresses? ”

"No, you can help me check what car I have under my name, as well as the road monitoring near the Ichihara Western Restaurant, after half past eight in the evening four days ago." If you want to quietly take people away from the box when you leave the restaurant, there must be transportation.

"Okay, give me a little time." Soon there was a crackling keyboard on the other end of the computer, and Fujiwara Yu pressed the hands-free mode and waited quietly for the results of the investigation.

Yuji Hashimoto was very efficient, and after comparing it, he quickly locked on a white Maserati sports car with the license plate Matsudo 100た7327.

"The car was heading south, and the road surveillance only captured the two ends, so I think it should have parked nearby." After adjusting Makoshi Ichihara's property in Chiba Prefecture, Yuji Hashimoto continued: "Near the place where the surveillance screen disappeared, there happened to be a high-rise apartment building with a residence in his name, and I thought I could go there and investigate. ”

"Well, give me the address of the apartment."

"I'll send you the location directly?"

"Positioning?" Fujiwara Yu was stunned for a moment, when the mobile phone could send the location, why didn't he know.

Yuji Hashimoto's puzzled voice soon came from the phone, and he asked seriously, "Haven't you bought a Pomme smartphone yet?" As a police officer, I still recommend buying it. ”

"That's right! Hurry up and buy one for the police department, or we won't take you with the line group of special search seven! Yin Dahang's slumpy voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that he had also changed to a new mobile phone.

Oh, I almost forgot that technology was advancing by leaps and bounds.

“…… I know, I'll change it when this eucalyptus is over. ”
