v12 Chapter 46: Sakura no Sato Cafe

"Next is Lin Xiuyi from the Special Investigation Department of the Police Department's Search Section 1. Excuse me... Is Mrs. Yonezawa's condition better?"

Putting down the flowers in his hand, Lin Xiuyi first handed his business card to the relatives of Mrs. Yonezawa, the victim of the pension fraud case, and then looked at the patient in the room.

"Mother-in-law... She's still like when she first moved in. She is asleep most of the time, and only wakes up occasionally!"

The daughter-in-law of the Yonezawa family introduced her mother-in-law to Lin Xiuyi and Miki cautiously, seeing the slightly haggard face of the other party and the somewhat sloppy hairstyle because she had no time to take care of it. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart.

"Actually... we're here today. It's mainly for the fraud case. Excuse me... When Mrs. Yonezawa woke up, did she mention this?"

"We don't dare to talk about this in front of our mother now. Money doesn't matter anymore, it's enough to just hope that my mother can be as well as she used to be!"

Having said this, the daughter-in-law of the Yonezawa family couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this situation, Lin Xiuyi sighed involuntarily, then he bowed to the other party, and then said goodbye:

"Today... we won't bother you any more. When it's convenient for you, I'll be visiting you and Mrs. Yonezawa!"

The daughter-in-law of the Yonezawa family gave Lin Xiu a surprised glance, and then returned a salute. After saying goodbye to the other party, Lin Xiuyi took Miki and Urashima out of the hospital where Mrs. Yonezawa lived.

"The police department... It seems that we are going to come back without success today!"

"Well... the situation of the victim is really not suitable for us to inquire. It seems that today, we can only get here!"

"So... Police Department, where are we going next? Are we going to visit other victims?"

Hearing Miki's question, Lin Xiu raised his wrist consciously and looked at the time on the watch.

"It's almost the end of work, and there is a new coffee shop opened by my friend nearby. Let's go and have a rest!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's proposal, Miki and Urashima nodded happily. Now that the work is over, it is too late to visit another victim.

After everyone got back into the car, Lin Xiuyi drove all the way in the direction of Yoyogi. It took less than twenty minutes on the road, and their car soon arrived at the Sakura no Sato coffee shop in Yoyogi Park.

"Uh...has it changed a lot?"

Lin Xiuyi looked at the coffee shop in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"Is it here, police department? It looks like a new shop!"

"Well... it is indeed a new store. When I came last time, the decoration has not started here. To be honest, if I hadn't been here a few times before, I really wouldn't have recognized it! Come on, let's go in. talk later!"

As soon as Lin Xiu spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the store door. Just as the three of them entered the store, a pleasant voice suddenly said:

"Welcome, Officer Lin?"

"Ah... Sakurako-chan, long time no see, has this place changed a lot?"

"Well... Hey! Thanks to you, the business has been opened successfully. Did you bring new friends over today?"

"Well... this is my subordinate in the special search department, Miki Nakayama and Yuu Urashima!"

"Ah... Welcome, please take care of the shop in the future!"

Sakurako bowed politely to Miki and Urashima, and then brought them to the bar. On the way to the bar, Urashima whispered to Lin Xiuyi:

"The police department, what a rare beauty!"

"Police, I won't admit it wrong, is this... the one on the Cassiopeia..."

Miki asked Lin Xiuyi in surprise, Lin Xiuyi nodded calmly, and Miki stopped talking. Only the curious Urashima was left waiting for the two to uncover the mystery for him.

When Lin Xiuyi sat on the seat, he raised his head and glanced at the customers in the store, and then said to Miki:

"It seems that the business is not bad. After all, it has just started business!"

"Hey, I'm so relieved! What would you like to drink, please?"

"Do you have any recommendations, Madam?"

"How about a cup of expresso first, we just have some sun-dried Geisha baked in the morning!"

"Is it the same coffee as last time? That's really exciting!"

"How about a small cup first, I have two new varieties I want to hear from you!"

"Oh...then it was a coincidence that we came here!"

After getting Lin Xiuyi's consent, Sakurako picked up three small coffee cups from the bar, first cleaned them a little with a spray gun, then he picked up three coffee handles and set them aside.

With the coffee powder slowly flowing out of the grinder, Sakurako peeled off the excess coffee powder with her fingers, and then used a powder press to compact the coffee powder. At this moment, there is still a roasted aroma in the air.

After the handle was placed on the coffee machine, as Sakurako pulled the handle on the side, the brown liquid slowly flowed into the coffee cup below.

"Excuse me, may I ask... what kind of coffee do the three over there want?"

A customer sitting on a seat near the bar suddenly smelled an inexplicable aroma, and could not help but curiously stopped a clerk and asked.

"Uh... Those three guests seem to be friends of the store manager, and they may be drinking coffee made by the proprietress in private!"

"Um... can you give me a cup of the same, it smells special, it doesn't feel like normal coffee. Ah... it doesn't matter if it's more expensive!"

"Eh? That... I can only ask you for help!"

The clerk agreed with the customer with some embarrassment, then walked to the bar and conveyed the customer's request to Yingzi.

"Manager, the customer over there also wants a cup of coffee that you are making!"

"Eh? Maybe you want to try it? Well, then I'll prepare another cup. If it costs, don't count it, because it's not the coffee on the menu after all!"

Sakurako happily agreed to the request of the other party~lightnovelpub.net~ Soon, she made another cup of expresso.

When Miki and Urashima took their cups and took the first sip of expresso full of coffee fat, an unprecedented experience suddenly opened everyone's taste buds.

"Oh... I really didn't expect Japan to drink such delicious coffee?"

The guest who made the request just now said excitedly with a surprised look on his face.

"Is it really good? Excuse me, can you get me a glass of the same?"

"Sorry, I want a cup here too!"

"If it's convenient, can you give me a drink too!"

...

Hearing the sound of customers ordering orders one after another in the store, Sakurako looked at the few coffee beans in her hand with regret, and couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
