After bidding farewell to the supermarket couple, Fujiwara Yu and Matsuda Jinpei rushed to the famous Joban Hotel in Nishitama City without stopping.
The Joban Hotel is indeed unfamiliar to the two of them, but through the introduction of the supermarket couple, they learned that the Joban Hotel is under the name of the Joban Group, and the Joban Group has a great influence in Nishitama City, and the chairman of the group controls it.
She is also a strong woman in her thirties.
After arriving at the open-air parking lot in front of Joban Hotel, Matsuda Jinpei opened the door and took off his sunglasses and looked up at the skyscrapers in front of him. He turned to look at Fujiwara Yu and joked with a smile:
"Takaji, how many years do you think we have to work at the Metropolitan Police Department before we can buy the first floor here?"
"The price per square meter in Nishitama City is almost 600,000 yen. If you want to buy this floor, you need to prepare at least 1 billion yen. Based on your current salary, you will need to go without food or drink for 222 years... Congratulations
.”
There was a smile in Fujiwara Yu's tone at the end, especially the last "congratulations". He couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth from rising. After all, no one can live for more than 200 years, let alone what the world will be like after more than 200 years.
Yes, will housing prices increase rapidly with economic development?
Matsuda Jinping rolled his eyes. He put on his sunglasses speechlessly and walked forward with a figure-footed step:
"Then I really thank you. Please, can you have a sense of humor? I just sighed casually. You guys are still calculating for me seriously. It's really... Hey, let's go quickly. It's important to investigate the case.
, don’t use your brain cells on such boring things.”
"This kind of thing does not consume brain cells, it is just a simple calculation."
"you shut up."
Fujiwara Yuu raised his hand to make a zipper gesture. He followed Matsuda easily. The two of them arrived at the door of the Joban Hotel. Before the hotel doorman could speak, he directly showed his police ID.
The doorman glanced at the face of the man in sunglasses, and then at the purple-haired man's hair. He didn't know much about the police, and after letting them in, he took out his walkie-talkie and whispered:
"Hey, this is Yamada. Two suspicious people claiming to be police officers have entered the hotel. Please pay attention to security."
Fujiwara Yu and Matsuda Jinpei didn't know that they were suspected by the doorman as suspicious persons. They calmly passed through the revolving door and arrived at the front desk of the hotel. Before they could open their mouths, footsteps could be heard behind them.
Matsuda Jinpei looked sideways and found several burly men in suits standing behind him and Fujiwara. He probably guessed the reason. He raised his hand and took off his sunglasses and looked at the security team in front of him coldly, and said in a serious tone:
"We are not suspicious persons. Didn't we all show our police ID to the doorman just now?"
The front desk of the hotel felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, so she quickly spoke up to help explain:
"Mr. Arai, you have misunderstood. These two are indeed police officers."
"Watanabe, how did you know they were the police? Do you know each other?" The short-haired man named Arai frowned and asked.
Watanabe nodded and shook her head. She raised her finger to Takashi Sousuke with some embarrassment:
"No, I have seen this Mr. Takaji in news reports. He is a criminal police officer at the Metropolitan Police Department. He solved a big case some time ago and is quite famous in the police community."
"So that's it." Arai bowed to the two policemen and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry to disturb your work. If there is anything you need us to cooperate with, just ask."
Matsuda Jinpei clamped the sunglasses on his hair, smiled and waved his hand:
"It's okay. It's good if you treat them more strictly. There are many bad guys pretending to be police officers in this society."
"thank you for understanding."
Fujiwara Yu took out a photo of Matsuoka Chie from his pocket and handed it to Miss Watanabe at the hotel front desk first. After all, she was the hotel front desk and should have a more profound impression on the guests staying at the hotel.
Watanabe at the front desk took the photo with both hands. After examining it carefully, she shook her head:
"Sorry, Mr. Takaji, I have no impression of the girl in the photo, at least I haven't met her during my time on the job."
"Never once? She has the keychain of your hotel, and there is more than one. She must have checked in several times." Matsuda Jinpei frowned and asked.
After Watanabe at the front desk stared at the photo and looked at it carefully, she still shook her head. She really had no impression of the girl in the photo at all. Her memory is not bad. If she had really received a customer, she would still be able to remember it.
"Can you show it to me?"
Hearing that security guard Arai wanted to see the photo, Fujiwara Yu handed the photo to him. Arai lowered his head to check the photo for a few seconds and bluntly stated that he had seen this girl.
"Really? Where? When?" Matsuda Jinping looked excited. Progress in the case meant that he was not far from the truth. He must find those beasts and give each of them a pair of police limited editions.
Silver bracelet.
After security guard Arai thought for a moment, he pointed in the direction of the elevator and recalled:
"On May 1st, because that day was my girlfriend's birthday, I was very impressed. I happened to be getting off work that day, and I bought a cake in the hotel to go home to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, but it was right at the elevator entrance.
Bian met the girl in the photo.
I lowered my head to reply to my girlfriend's email and didn't notice her. After accidentally knocking her down, I quickly put the cake on the ground, trying to free my hand to help her up and apologize. But the girl's reaction was very loud and she was very resistant.
After pushing me away, he lowered his head and said sorry as he walked towards the hotel door.
I originally wanted to catch up and apologize, but my girlfriend called me again, so I took the cake and took the elevator to the underground garage to go home from get off work."
Fujiwara Yu took out his diary and opened it. When he found the diary on May 1, he knew that Arai was not lying.
【May 1, 2002, Shui Yao Day】
[The annoying person is here again. His mouth smells so bad. It’s really disgusting. I washed it several times today. Hey, what’s the point of such a life... But for my parents, I can do it. I will definitely be able to hold on.
In the past, I met a kind person in the hotel today who wanted to help me, but I treated him like that. Now that I think about it, I’m glad that I didn’t damage his cake.】
This scene is recorded in the diary, including the detail of "cake". It can be determined that the girl Arai met at that time was Chie Matsuoka, so she came to the hotel on this day and encountered such a thing.
"Mr. Police Officer, is this girl...what happened?"
Arai was still very concerned about the girl. She was in a very strange mental state at the time. In addition, the police came to the door. Could it be that something bad happened to the girl in the hotel?
Thinking of this, he felt a little complicated. If he caught up with him, he didn't know if he could change anything.
Matsuda Jinpei noticed the change in Arai's expression. He raised his hand and patted Arai's shoulder. It was rare to hear some comforting words from his mouth:
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much. If you want to help, just give us the hotel's surveillance video."
"Well, I'll ask the manager to contact the president. Only the president has this right."
