Chapter 231 Detectives don’t ask me for monthly tickets ()

"Nine, nine..." Mouri Kogoro racked his brains for a long time and said hesitantly, "'Nine' couldn't be thought of for a while, but I thought of 'Eight' - I have a sommelier friend, his name is Sawaki Fair. .”

“Then let’s go find him first.” Mumu Police Department sighed, “Everyone who can be saved counts.”

 A group of people went to Sawaki Taira's house in a hurry.

Jiang Xia quietly blended into the team.

No one came to stop him. On the contrary, after seeing him, the Mu Mu Police Department breathed a vague sigh of relief, looking forward to "the case will be solved soon."

 …

Sawaki Kohei lived alone in a two-story villa. When he saw a group of people coming to the door, he was surprised to welcome them in and served tea thoughtfully.

　　Then a group of people sat across from each other on both sides of the coffee table. Mr. Sawaki glanced at the police and detectives, and said gently: "What happened?"

"That's it." Megure Police Department was not in the mood to drink tea at all. He sighed, "There has been a series of attacks recently against Mr. Kogoro Mori."

He briefly explained the previous cases: "After calculation, the next person to be attacked should be 'Nine', but we couldn't think of the person with 'Nine' in his name, so we came to you first."

"So that's it..." Kohei Sawaki seemed to be more cooperative than Hiroki Tsuji, "So I am 'eight'?"

"That's right." Memu Police Department nodded, "In the near future, please try to avoid going out alone."

 “Avoid going out alone?” Sawaki listened carefully and then showed a troubled expression:

“But I’m about to go to a very important appointment. You know Xu Shengyi—the famous industrialist.

"Recently, he built a large-scale marine entertainment facility in Tokyo Bay - Aqua Crystal Restaurant. After he heard about my plan to open a store, he was interested in giving me one of the stores to run. So we made an appointment at three o'clock this afternoon Discuss in detail.”

Jiang Xia repeated thoughtfully: "Xu Shengyi?...Xu?"

Megure Police Department was startled and looked at Mouri Kogoro: "Do you know this person? He has 'Nine' in his name."

Mouri Kogoro hesitated and said: "Asahi Shengyi entrusted me to help find a cat before, the cat with a heart on the side... But apart from this commission, we have no other intersections - can this also be included in the sequence? Attack? The author is too careless."

"Indeed." Jiang Xia sighed, "However, there is no other 'Nine' at the moment, and Mr. Koji Sawaki must go to the appointment..."

After hearing what Jiang Xia said, the Mumu Police Department made a final decision: "In this case, let's go with Mr. Sawaki! Anyway, we can't find Jiu so far, so let's try our luck."

　　Sawaki Hiroshi smiled. He looked at his watch and stood up gracefully: "Okay, I'll trouble you."

 …

The group of people soon drove to Tokyo Bay.

 The weather is sunny, the wind is calm, and the water is blue. A long cable car track protrudes from the shore and extends all the way into the center of the bay.

Jiang Xia got out of the car, put up a pergola with her hands, looked along the track, and found that at the end of it was a building on the sea that looked like the Sydney Opera House.

 —This is the “Water Crystal Undersea Restaurant” that was completed not long ago.

"There is an unmanned cable car set up upstairs. We have to take that one." Kohei Sawaki looked down at his phone, seemingly checking the email Asahi Shengyi sent him in advance. He quickly looked at the small building next to him, " Let’s go.”
