Because the chipped wine glass had lost its role as physical evidence, Ma Peiqu didn't pay much attention to it and put it casually in a locked drawer.
Seeing this wine glass and recalling the scene at the Shun Hotel, Jiang Xinyu suddenly realized that it was probably the broken porcelain fragments that had splashed on him and brought him back to the detective team unintentionally.
Although I don’t know how the broken porcelain pieces fell into Ma Peiqu’s hands, one thing is for sure, I must have been exposed!
Jiang Xinyu was secretly surprised. Fortunately, Ma Peiqu had no evidence, otherwise he would have faced Hattori Hikoo today!
After wiping off the fingerprints on the wine glass with a handkerchief and putting it back in its place, Jiang Xinyu gently closed the door and returned to his office.
Ma Peiqu didn't dare to sue him without evidence. The question was why this guy acted uncharacteristically and not only pretended that nothing happened, but also made up a suspected target...
He must have a new clue!
definitely is!
What could it be?
Jiang Xinyu lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Amidst the smoke, he suddenly remembered the scene of Ma Peiqu and Mao Yonggui downstairs, and his heart suddenly became enlightened!
If you want to find new evidence, you can't do it alone. Ma Peiqu needs helpers. The only person in the entire detective team who dares to investigate the captain for him is Mao Yonggui!
"Ring ring ring ring!" The phone on the table rang.
Jiang Xinyu calmed down and reached out to pick up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Xinyu, are you still busy?" Hattori Mina's voice came on the phone.
"I'm leaving now, is there anything wrong?"
"Brother is not coming back. I want to have dinner with you."
"...Okay, I'll pick you up now."
"Well, I'll wait for you!"
Half an hour later, Jiang Xinyu's car stopped outside Hattori's house, and he reached out and blew the car horn twice.
After a while, Hattori Mina walked out quickly, opened the car door, sat in, and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Xinyu drove slowly along the street and said, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine. Actually, I have something to discuss with you!"
"What's up?"
"Brother is going to let me continue studying. What do you think?"
"Go back to Japan to study?"
Hattori Mina coquettishly said: "Stupid, we are getting married, how can we go back to Japan? We are in the German class of Ijinjin Shinman Girls' High School, and we graduate in half a year!"
"You want to learn German?"
"Yes, my brother said, let me learn German well and have the opportunity to work in the consulate in the future."
"When Japanese women get married, don't they always stay at home to take care of their husbands and raise children? Why would Major want to let you go out to work?"
"I don't want to stay at home all day. The newspapers say that new women should think independently and create their own lives!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Okay, I support you!"
"Do you agree with me going out to work?"
"You just said that new women should have independent thoughts. It doesn't matter whether I agree with it or not. The main thing is you."
Hattori Mina held her chin and thought for a while, then said: "Forget it, I don't think about it so much anymore, go to school first, and let's talk about the rest later!"
The car slowly stopped in front of a restaurant. Hattori Mina glanced at the sign and read: "Cyclamen Restaurant."
Jiang Xinyu: "This hotel has just been opened a few days ago and the environment is not bad."
The two got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.
The boy came up to him enthusiastically: "What do you two want to eat?"
Jiang Xinyu looked around and saw that 60% to 70% of the guests were sitting on the terrace on the first floor, and said, "Is there a private room?"
"Yes, please come upstairs."
Going upstairs along the wooden stairs, there is a row of private rooms by the window on the second floor. Jiang Xinyu has been here once and is very familiar with the environment here. He knows that the private rooms are all located by the window.
After entering the private room, Jiang Xinyu glanced out the window. He knew that the Maoji grocery store opposite belonged to Mao Yonggui's family and was run by his parents.
Many goods are placed in front of the grocery store. As long as there are no special circumstances, Mao Yonggui will help his parents carry goods to the store around eight o'clock every day when he comes home from get off work.
"Would you two order now?" The waiter was waiting aside with a smile on his face.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the menu on the table, glanced through it, and said: "Steamed sea bass, stir-fried shredded pork with pickled diced pork, a dish of fresh shrimp soup, a pot of white rice, and two bowls of white rice, that's all."
"Wait a minute, you two, we'll be here soon!" The waiter ran downstairs quickly and shouted: "Steamed sea bass, stir-fried shredded pork with pickled diced pork, a dish of fresh shrimp soup, two bowls of white rice, and a pot of white rice!"
Hattori Mina looked at Jiang Xinyu and complained: "They are all my favorite dishes, but you didn't order anything yourself."
Jiang Xinyu looked at Maoji Grocery Store out of the corner of his eyes and said, "I don't have a particular favorite taste when it comes to food. Everything I eat is the same."
It was the middle of winter, and there were very few people on the street. Occasionally, there were customers picking at the door of Maoji Grocery Store and then going inside to check out.
The steaming hot meals were served quickly, and the waiter said, "The dishes are all here, you two can eat and use them slowly."
Jiang Xinyu poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Mina, would you like some?"
Hattori Mina shook her head like a rattle and said, "I can't drink white wine, it's too spicy!"
Jiang Xinyu took a mouthful of sour diced and said: "Sour diced and white dry are the perfect pairing for Yanjin people to drink!"
The meal lasted for more than an hour, and it was already past eight o'clock, but Mao Yonggui did not show up.
Jiang Xinyu knew that Ma Peiqu most likely sent Ma Peiqu on a mission. Otherwise, no matter what happens, he would come back and collect the goods before going out. This man is relatively filial to his parents.
As soon as the stairs outside sounded, several people came up and stared. One of them said in Japanese: "Mr. Kato, you must drink a few more drinks today and go back having fun!"
Another voice said: "Mr. Ning, I hope our cooperation will be pleasant this time!"
There are thousands of Japanese in Yanjin, and it's not strange to see them anywhere, so Jiang Xinyu didn't pay attention and continued to chat with Mina while eating.
"Mr. Kato, please take a seat."
"Mr. Ning is too polite. It doesn't matter where you sit. We Japanese don't have so many particulars."
"No, no, no, you'd better take your seat."
"Everyone, please take a seat."
Judging from the sound, these people entered the adjacent private room, which was only separated from Jiang Xinyu by a wall. The wall in the private room was very thin, and they could hear each other if they spoke louder.
The waiter stood at the door and said, "Would you like to order now?"
Mr. Ning said: "What are you asking? Just bring your signature dishes and two bottles of Fenjiu!"
Waiter: “There are four of you, six hot dishes and two cold dishes, do you think that’s okay?”
Mr. Ning: "Okay, let's put snacks on the stove. If Mr. Kato eats well, I will give you an extra reward!"
