Chapter 389 The coffee bookstore run by Chiyo Hasegawa
Lidu City, Xiaotian District, near a low-rise building.
The sun was shining brightly, and a black car slowly parked on the street next to the building.
The rear door opened and Satomi stepped out.
She is tall and tall, wearing a slim-fitting black suit. The belt tied around her waist highlights her slender curves. She has long hair shawl, a slender neck, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. Her steps are elegant and free, exuding a confident and generous temperament.
She walked slowly towards the low-rise building. There was a row of spacious and bright windows on the second floor, and a gray plaque hung above it, which read Guangchuan Detective Agency.
Satomi's eyes were fixed on the plaque of the office——
Yes, this detective agency was founded by Guangchuan Gu Xing.
As Gu Xing's assistant, Satomi knew that he had two ideals since he was a child. One was to open a themed bookstore, and the other was to open a detective agency like Mouri Kogoro in the anime Detective Conan.
When the Lidu Police Headquarters invited Gu Xing to join the Special Investigation Section as an investigator, Gu Xing clearly stated several very clear conditions.
One of them is that the police headquarters must allow him to open a detective agency in his own name, and every time Gu Xing completes the investigation of a bizarre incident, he will come to the detective agency for about a week. This is considered a vacation, and the headquarters is not allowed to interfere.
"No matter how many times it is," Satomi stared at the bright glass on the second floor and murmured to herself, "I always want to open a private detective agency. I am really persistent."
She continued walking forward.
The building in front of you has three floors. Judging from the architectural style, it was built in the 1970s and 1980s. It originally belonged to a private detective who had no business skills. Due to his poor business skills and few stable customers, he really could not continue.
The management was then transferred to Gu Xing.
"Mr. Guangchuan," when the two parties signed the agreement, the detective reluctantly signed the contract, "It is my dream to open a private detective agency. I reluctantly took action because you are very passionate about this industry. You
You must continue this dream on my behalf!”
"I know," Guangchuan Gu Xing replied at that time: "Aren't these all written in the contract? If I don't run the detective agency, you can take back this building at any time."
Gu Xing's detective agency is located on the second floor.
On the first floor is a coffee-themed bookstore called "Kaitan". The owner is Gu Xing Guangchuan, but the specific business operations are handed over to a beautiful woman named Chiyo Hasegawa.
Gu Xing often visits Weird Bookstore. If there is nothing specific about the detective agency, he often orders an iced Americano and spends the whole day there.
There are several independent apartments on the third floor. In addition to the one where Gu Xing lives, Rimi and Chiyo also own one in the name of tenants. The rent is very low, which is considered a friendly price provided by Gu Xing.
In fact, Gu Xing never urged the two of them to pay rent. Every time it was time to pay rent, it was Rimi and Chiyo who took the initiative to mention it, as if he didn't care at all.
"Hello Chiyo-sama!"
When passing by Kaidan Bookstore, Chiyo Hasegawa was reading a book on the seat by the window. Satomi waved to her and said hello.
"It's Satomi, wait a minute."
Chiyo said, quickly walked to the counter, picked up something, and ran out, "Take this."
Satomi took the things and found a piece of chocolate cake in a delicate paper bag. "You remember to try my newly developed cake."
"Thank you, Sister Chiyo, you are the best to me!" Satomi said with a smile.
"How do you feel after eating it? Don't forget to give me feedback."
"So you're using me as a guinea pig!"
"How can you say that?" Chiyo stuck out her tongue, "I'm still very confident."
"By the way," Rimi looked inside the bookstore, "Didn't my adults come to the bookstore today?"
Chiyo pointed upstairs, "I heard that he read too late yesterday and slept late. He called just now and asked me to prepare a snack for him. He will come down soon."
"That's it,"
Rimi thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll wait for him here."
Walking into Kaidan Bookstore, Satomi found a copy of "Snow Country" by Kawabata Yasunari from the bookshelf, and sat quietly in the corner. Chiyo brought a book of coffee to Satomi, and she said thank you.
At this time, there were not many customers in the bookstore, and the sun slanted in through the bright windows, casting a bright golden color on the tables and floors of the bookstore. Satomi felt that the years were quiet and peaceful.
After a while, Gu Xing walked into Guitan Bookstore.
He was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and jeans that fit his strong legs, making him look slender and strong.
His neat short hair, clear-cut face, and especially his bright eyes made several female customers who were reading in the bookstore involuntarily raise their heads.
The moment he walked into the bookstore, the sun shone right on his face, which was clean and refreshing.
Gu Xing looked around and found a copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Marquez, then walked straight over to Rimi, "Has the red and blue toilet paper case been sorted out?"
"I have already reported it,"
Rimi closed the book and looked at Gu Xing with excitement, "Guess who I saw today?"
Gu Xing: "He can't be the judge."
The judge in Dongdu who specializes in punishing evil and promoting good, and who has various problems with the plutocrats, has always been Rimi's idol, so it is not surprising that Gu Xing mentions him.
"I met Karasawa Makoto."
"oh."
Gu Xing opened "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and turned to a certain page at random.
As far as Rimi knows, Gu Xing has read this book at least twenty times. At this stage, as long as he can't think of what book to read, he will open "One Hundred Years of Solitude" again, randomly open a page, and try his best to
Discover details you hadn't noticed before.
“I really don’t know what’s so interesting about this book,”
Satomi frowned, "Oh that's it? Isn't Karasawa Makoto your idol?"
"You can see it on TV every day,"
Gu Xing continued to flip through the book, "I just went to the cinema to watch her latest movie the day before yesterday - we both also added LINE friends."
"Meeting her in real life," Satomi was speechless, "is it the same as watching movies and TV shows? Furthermore, after you added her as a friend, have you ever chatted with her online?"
"That's not true,"
Gu Xing said: "It's not like I haven't seen her before. As an idol, it's better to keep a distance where you can watch her from a distance, otherwise it's easy to become disillusioned."
"cut,"
Satomi deliberately showed a look of disdain, "Today I passed by Tsutaya Bookstore and found a lot of people there. After asking around, I found out that Karasawa Makoto was signing books there."
As she spoke, she took out a book with a beautiful cover from her bag,
"Then, I went to queue and finally got Sister Tang Ze to sign a copy for me. Sister Tang Ze was very surprised when she saw me. She said, if you want an autograph, can't you just call me directly? How much do you want?
It’s all fine. I said, that’s different. What you want is the feeling of lining up to chase your idol.”
Gu Xing was surprised, "Karasawa Makoto still writes books?"
“Really fresh,”
Rimi said: "You are her fan, don't you know she writes books?"
"I'm a movie fan, not a book fan."
"Sister Tang Ze wrote a book "The Actor's Secret"."
"autobiography?"
"Novel," Rimi said, "it's about detective reasoning. I took a look at it while I was waiting in line. I didn't expect that Sister Karasawa's writing is so good, the characters are vividly drawn, and the plot is also very interesting."
"She is so busy and still has time to write a novel?"
"It's a hobby. We true fans all know that she has always liked reading Higashino Keigo's mystery novels. You are really a fake fan."
"You didn't ask for a signed book for me?"
"Oh, you're not a movie fan."
"What if this book is made into a movie in the future? I'll familiarize myself with the plot in advance."
"You want to queue up by yourself, but I waited in line for more than two hours to get it," Satomi shook the book in her hand, "By the way, Sister Karasawa said she was very happy to see me again this time, and she wanted to invite me to a picnic in the countryside on the weekend.
Let me say hello to you first. I haven’t seen you for more than a year, and I feel that Sister Tang Ze is even more beautiful."
"Having a picnic?" Gu Xing's eyes lit up and he raised his head, "I also like picnics."
"Yeah,"
Satomi gently touched the cover of "The Actor's Secret" and said, "Whenever I have the opportunity, I will take you for a picnic."
Gu Xing tapped the table with his index finger, "You guys are going to have a picnic."
Satomi: "That's not clear. Sister Karasawa said there won't be many people, and she only has a few good friends in the industry."
"Oh," Gu Xing picked up the book again, "Go ahead and eat happily, don't hold on."
"Right,"
Satomi called Chiyo over, "Sister Chiyo, do you want to go? She said that I can also invite a good friend to the picnic party organized by Karasawa Makoto."
