When he walked into the interrogation room, Yamazaki knew that he had made a mistake, so he cooperated with Karasawa and the other two's inquiries.
According to what he said, Otsuga Yuyuki had no contact with him, but he just happened to meet him on the street.
At that time, Yuyuki Otsuga was standing in front of a restaurant with his wallet, but after looking at the money inside, he left in embarrassment.
Yamazaki has a criminal record and cannot apply for a second-hand store business license. He needs someone who is particularly short of money and has no criminal history.
Then he chased after him and struck up a conversation with Yuyuki Otsuga.
Later, he learned that Yuyuki Otsuga actually had public health-related qualifications. A guy with such high credibility was very popular for them.
So in exchange for applying for a second-hand store qualification, he paid the other party a sum of money and promised to cover all food, clothing, housing and transportation during this period.
Otsuga Yuyuki was hesitant at first, but then he agreed.
After confirming this incident, Karasawa immediately found Mitsui Matsu and asked him to help investigate what Yuyuki Otsuga had done in his name.
After some inquiries, it was discovered that Yuyuki Otsuga had even sold out his "name and reputation".
Such as marrying a foreigner, second-hand store management rights, joint guarantors, small business companies, contracts written when applying for financing from small and medium-sized enterprises, etc.
Step by step, he stepped into the abyss.
When Tang Ze inquired about the black market of "name" sales before, he knew how circulated the information of this group of people is. If someone sells his or her "name", people who want to buy "name" will soon come to his door one after another.
That's why he helped Sakurada Saburo introduce jobs, because he knew that once the name of selling started, it would almost be like drinking poison to quench his thirst.
However, Otsuga Yuyuki knew the word "miserable" written in capital letters, but the two of them still gained absolutely nothing about why he died.
But at this moment, Uncle Demi from the forensics class brought over a form.
"I then investigated the victim's mobile phone and found this."
Hearing that there was another clue, Tangze perked up and immediately looked at the printed calendar. Under the calendar, a different location was noted for each day.
"These are all restaurants and snack bars." Takagi wondered after reading it: "Why did Otsu-san record so many places to eat..."
But when Tangze saw this, his eyes froze, and then a smile appeared on his lips, "Let's go, Takagi-san, let's go investigate these shops."
"Eh?!" Takagi looked at the densely packed shops above and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are these all?"
"Don't worry, if my reasoning is correct, these stores should all be in the same area and can be reached on foot." Tangze said without a smile on his lips, "The last piece of the puzzle is here!"
……..
When we came to a restaurant that Otsuga Yuyuki often visited, after showing the photo, the other party quickly recognized Otsuga Yuyuki.
According to the waiter, she did meet him a few times, but they were always in the food tasting hut nearby.
That's where their restaurant provides tastings of new products. Most of them are packaged breads and other foods for people to try. If you like something you like, you can buy some back, as they all have a longer shelf life.
Of course, they will also give away some free porridge and other things, which has a pretty good effect. It can be regarded as a means of selling bread and snacks.
After that, the two went to a supermarket not far away again and found a tasting place where they could taste wakame and herring roe for free.
Including the places where you try out the fried steaks in the supermarket, all of them, without exception, have an impression of Tomoyuki Otsuga.
"If it's not as expected, restaurants and supermarkets around here provide a variety of free food and tastings. This is what Otsuga Yuyuki noted at the bottom of his mobile phone calendar."
After the two left the supermarket, Tangze said with emotion: "It seems that our speculation is correct. The closer we get to now, the harder his life will be."
"In this case, there is an explanation for the lack of consistency in the food in Otsuga Yuyuki's stomach." Officer Takagi sighed: "He travels to so many places just to eat. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to find a job."
"And in order to try the food, he must ensure that he is clean. Even if the bathroom in the Internet cafe is cheap, continued consumption will be a waste for him."
Karasawa looked at the memo in his hand and seemed to see Otsuga Yuyuki's daily rush: "At the same time, these free foods cannot be enjoyed frequently. The more times you visit, the more likely the store clerk will remember your appearance.
That's why there is this memorandum of where to eat every day, but in this way, Otsuga Yuyuki has to go from one restaurant to another in order to have a full meal.
During this period, the consumption of walking made me hungry again, and I had to go to another restaurant to eat."
It can be said that this is a vicious cycle. He can only live every day to avoid starving to death, and has no energy to do other things.
The two of them talked and hurried on, and finally arrived at the store where Otsuga Tomoyuki was presumed to have arrived last based on the date.
A donut shop.
"How about~ Come and try it? It's just baked~"
Stopping in front of the donut shop, the waitress outside immediately handed over the donuts with toothpicks, "Please try it~"
After buying two donuts for dessert, the two of them started talking to the waitress.
"Ah, I remember him."
When Takagi showed Otsuga Yuyuki's photo, the waitress immediately said in the affirmative.
"You remember it really clearly." Tang Ze looked at the other party and said with a smile, "Did something happen?"
"Actually, it's because it's the third time." The waitress looked at the two people and said, "He has been here before to try the food. To be honest, such people are very rare.
It’s generally rare for a grown man to come here specifically to try some desserts, but then doesn’t buy them after eating them, right?”
Speaking of this, the waitress was a little angry and a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, he came here yesterday, but I couldn't get angry at the time, so I said some unpleasant words."
“If you think it’s good, please buy some to support it.”
The waitress at the time held up a piece of donut and looked at Yuyuki Otsuga and said this.
But even the waitress didn't expect that the sarcasm would arouse such a big reaction from the other party. He actually snatched away all the donuts that the waitress had put in the frame.
"But even so, we can't take away all the tasting products." The waitress said a little aggrievedly: "Obviously he only eats but doesn't buy anything, but I'm just telling him that grabbing things is too much."
After asking Otsuga Yuyuki about his escape direction, the two began to move forward along the other party's escape route.
Finally, the two stopped somewhere.
ps: Actually, I wrote this case to supplement the subplot of selling "names" and to let everyone know some information about this aspect.
