Tokyo Police

v8 Chapter 7: Cod Crab Dinner

Lin Xiuyi did not stop in Sapporo. After he made a complete copy of the information related to Professor Noguchi's suicide case, he directly booked a flight back to Tokyo the next afternoon.

"These are local specialties brought back from Hokkaido, Cod Crab and Matsuba Crab!"

When Lin Xiuyi pushed open the door of the house with a couple of large boxes of crabs, Reina obviously didn't expect Lin Xiuyi to come back so soon.

"Brother, you have worked hard, but you brought so many crabs back by yourself!"

"I finally went to Hokkaido once, how can I come back without some specialties? Although it's not the best season to eat crabs, as long as it's good, it won't taste too bad when you eat it, right!"

"However, how can only the two of us eat so many crabs? If we leave it for too long, such rare ingredients will be wasted!"

"It's okay, I've already informed Miko and Miki that we're going to prepare a crab feast tonight!"

As Lin Xiu spoke, he opened the fresh-keeping box at the top, and saw a huge and mighty cod crab lying on his stomach quietly in the fresh-keeping box. The appearance alone was enough to make people drool.

I heard that Shuichi Lin brought rare cod crabs and matsuba crabs from Hokkaido. Miko almost dropped the paintbrush and ran from the office.

"Where are the crabs, where are the crabs that Xiu Yi-kun brought?"

After Yuzi entered the door, he just took off his shoes and went straight to the kitchen of Lin Xiu's family. He couldn't wait to see the Hokkaido Cod Crab brought by Lin Xiuyi. I saw her walking to the safety box, leaning down, imitating the appearance of the samurai in the final battle in the Dahe drama, leaning down and saying gruffly to the crab in the fresh-keeping box:

"Although Your Excellency looks so majestic, it is a pity that Your Excellency is destined to become my dish today, draw your sword, King Crab!"

As soon as Yuko's voice fell, Rena was amused by her and laughed.

"Sister Yuko, you are so interesting!" Rena laughed and stood aside, praising Yuko, who was doing her best.

"Thank you for the compliment, then, we are eating charcoal-grilled cod crab tonight, right!"

"Hey, my brother said that charcoal grilling is easy and convenient, and it can still retain the taste of the crab itself. But if Yuko-san has any special cooking method that you like, I can cook it for you too!"

"Charcoal grilling is the only way to eat cod crabs, Rena-chan, I feel so hungry, how long until dinner starts?"

"My brother went downstairs to pick up Sister Miki just now, they should be back soon!"

As Reina spoke, she prepared some other side dishes for dinner. Crabs are delicious, but if there are only crabs, it will be a bit monotonous. When Yuko saw Rena's half-cooked dishes, she stopped playing tricks, rolled up her sleeves and started helping Rena cook dinner.

"We're back!"

As Lin Xiuyi's voice came from outside the door, Rena and Yuko quickly put down their work and walked out of the kitchen to welcome Lin Xiuyi and Miki.

"Miki-chan, long time no see!"

"Mr. Futian, it's really nice to see you!"

"Don't call my teacher such an outsider, just call me Miko-chan. By the way, Miki-chan, I heard Xiuichi-kun say that you are now the head of the inspection department. I'm so happy for you!"

"Actually, I was able to pass the exam so smoothly, mainly thanks to the words and deeds of the police department on weekdays..."

While Miki said that, she glanced at Lin Xiu with her eyes, and then gave Yuko a look that you understand. He didn't seem to take what he just said seriously at all.

Charcoal grilled cod crab doesn't require much preparation. All you need to do is set up an oven in the sky courtyard of the Lin Xiu family. Because very high-quality smokeless charcoal is used, there is no choking smoke when grilling crabs. Some are just the sound of the gravy contained in the crab meat sizzling in the crab shell under the action of the charcoal fire.

"Wow! It's so fragrant!"

At this moment, a huge king crab was dismembered into several parts and placed neatly on the grill. Because the crabs are so big, even one crab has to be grilled several times. Just the legs and claws cut from a cod crab is enough to cover an entire oven.

"Zi..."

Seeing the scorch marks appear on the crab shell, Lin Xiuyi immediately divided the crab legs and claws from the oven to everyone's plate. Immediately, everyone could not wait to pick up the scissors in their hands and start to deal with the hard crab shell wrapped around the crab meat.

Because the crab meat was just baked and the temperature outside was still very high, everyone moved with caution. As the crab shell was cut by sharp scissors, everyone raised the crab legs in their hands and took a big bite. down.

Each cod crab has only six legs and two claws. The part here is the essence of the cod crab. Because of its size, the cod crab is full of meat in one bite. That feeling is really amazing. Satisfying.

The dinners on weekdays are different. Today, everyone seems to be at a loss for words. Everyone is concentrating on tasting the crab meat feast on their plates. Even the beer on the side is rarely a concern.

It was not until the first crab was eaten that everyone relaxed with satisfaction.

"Thank you Shuichi-kun for the gift of bringing us back to the sea from Hokkaido!"

After Yuko put down the scissors in his hand, he said to Lin Xiuyi with his hands folded.

"You're welcome~lightnovelpub.net~ I've enjoyed the premium Matsusaka beef so many times, how can I not show it?" Lin Xiuyi saluted her like a royal son. Everyone laughed happily.

Everyone drank some wine, and then asked about Lin Xiuyi's experience in Hokkaido. Miki asked Lin Xiuyi curiously:

"Police! Why did you suddenly think of going to Hokkaido? Is it really for these crabs?"

"Ah... that's not true. In fact, I was entrusted by a friend to investigate a suicide incident in Hokkaido! When I came back, I felt that since I had come all the way, I would always bring back some local specialties. So I came here. I bought some cod crabs and Matsuba crabs at the fish market in Sapporo and wanted to bring them back to share with you all…”

"Suicide? Could it be that Xiu Yijun has another case of interest?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi talk about the case, Yuzi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's just entrusted by others. The Hokkaido police have determined that this is a suicide incident. For this, I haven't found anything particularly suspicious from the police's information!"
