v8 Chapter 22: Return to Umegakiya

From the time Kiseko's house left on the eve of Echizen, even Takashi Kanai shattered his last illusions. He dragged his heavy footsteps, followed behind Aizawa and Hanakata, and walked towards the parking place of the car. At this moment, Aizawa suddenly received a message from Lin Xiuyi.

"Find out where the drug with this label can be purchased!"

Aizawa hurriedly zoomed in on the picture he received on his phone. He managed to recognize from the top that it was a swab that had been torn apart and then spliced ​​together. The letters displayed on it seemed to be zopiclone. A sleeping pill ingredient found?

A curious Aizawa hurriedly called Lin Xiuyi.

"Moses Moses!"

"Police, have you made any new discoveries over there?"

"I don't know if it's a discovery. I found this swab in the trash at Fujiki Mina's house. I was curious, and I wanted you to help track it down to see where these medicines should come from. How about you? How's the investigation on Echizen Eve?"

"Just about to report this to you, we have already met Echizen Eve himself. She seems to be a middle-aged woman with no scheming, and she has no money. And she seems to have a good relationship with the deceased. I don't think she should be. The murderer of Professor Noguchi. Most importantly, Echizen also mentioned a rather strange thing. According to her description, when she said goodbye to Professor Noguchi, Professor Noguchi seemed to be very happy about something. It further proves that Professor Noguchi has no motive for suicide..."

Aizawa reported to Lin Xiuyi on the other end of the phone, and Lin Xiuyi was a little surprised when he learned that Echizen Eve seemed to be someone, because he always thought that Fujiki Mina and Echizen Eve should be the same person. But now there is new news from Hokkaido that the two suspected cleaning women are actually two completely different people. This made Lin Xiuyi's inference untenable.

Lin Xiuyi digested the latest information from Aizawa. Now, the suicide of Professor Noguchi in Hokkaido may seem completely untenable, but there is still no clue about the bombing in Tokyo.

After finishing the call with Aizawa, Lin Shuichi and Miki continued to sit in the guest room, analyzing the situation they discovered during the day. The swab thing seems to have to wait for a while to come to a conclusion. But apart from the swab, Lin Xiuyi was actually more interested in the man sitting in the attic smoking a cigarette.

"Police, what do you think of the son of Minato Fujiki?"

"I don't know, but didn't the neighbors say that he was a squat? Since she also brought a son and moved from Tokyo, I think someone in Tokyo might know something about them."

Because there was no direct evidence, Lin Xiuyi couldn't directly rush into Minato Fujiki's home to conduct a search. However, according to the analysis of the existing intelligence, both Fujiki Mina and Echizen Eve had very sufficient evidence of alibi at the time of the crime. This made Lin Xiuyi feel as if he had just found some eyebrows but was blocked by another barrier. Could it be that this was all pre-arranged? If so, the case is likely to be far more complicated than I imagined.

"Miki, do you remember the recipe that Fujiki Mina used to clean the bath? That recipe shouldn't be learned casually, right? I think we might be able to trace some clues from this aspect."

"Police, have you already thought of a way?"

"Miki, do you still remember the female general of Umegaki House in Buddha Village? Maybe we should visit Boss Umegaki, maybe there will be some unexpected harvest..."

The next morning, Lin Shuichi left Miki to continue to observe the whereabouts of Fujiki Minato in Hayakawa Town, while he drove to the Buddha Village to visit Umegaki Mariko, who had not seen him for a long time.

Because they are located in two places in Yamanashi Prefecture, the time spent on the road is not long. When Lin Xiuyi arrived at the Umegaki House, it happened to be noon. The waitress who was welcoming the guests in front of the door saw that the person who got off the bus was Lin Xiuyi, and immediately ran in the door in surprise to inform the female general of Umegaki.

"Officer Lin, long time no see!"

"You too, Madam Boss, your style is still the same!"

Lin Xiuyi and the female general Mei Yuan greeted each other, and then the female general Mei Yuan let Lin Xiuyi in.

"Officer Lin, it's been a long time since we last saw you. Is everything going well in Tokyo?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine, but I always think of your craftsmanship, Madam Boss, from time to time, which is so nostalgic."

"Officer Lin is really good at joking. It's just some wild side dishes that can't be served on the table. Can't there be delicious food in Tokyo?"

"I'm not flattering you, and I just didn't have lunch, but in addition to coming to taste your craftsmanship, I came here to visit you today, and I want to ask you for another thing."

"If Officer Lin has time, he might as well take a break in the guest room below. I'll cook a few side dishes for you first, and we'll talk while eating..."

"Then take your troubles..."

After Lin Xiu nodded and thanked him, he was taken to a resting place, while the female general Mei Yuan retired first and went to the kitchen to prepare meals for Lin Xiuyi. Waited for about ten minutes. The waitresses of Umegakiya walked in with a tray, and then served Lin Xiuyi two special dishes made by Boss Umegaki.

"Please give it a try. This is the new dish that I came up with the most..."

"Is this fried sweet snapper meat? It tastes really good, and the texture is great. It's crispy and not greasy. The lady boss's craftsmanship is really eye-opening..."

"Officer Lin~lightnovelpub.net~ You're joking again. If it's so delicious, why haven't you come to visit us for so long?"

After the lunch was over, the maids served the female general and Lin Xiu with hot tea and then left. Only then did Lin Xiuyi tell Boss Mei Yuan about the special cleaning agent he encountered in Qingyun Pavilion.

"Ms. Boss, do you know the kind of cleaning agent for cleaning wooden bathtubs? It seems that a suitable cleaning agent needs to be prepared on the spot according to the material and conditions of the wood before it can be used to clean the wooden bathtubs. Otherwise, it will bring harm to the precious wood. Does it hurt?"

"Hey, there is indeed such a thing, but why did you suddenly care about this issue?"

"So, have you heard of artisans who make detergents out of caustic soda and earthworm powder?"
