Chapter 5 We are finally meeting, W!
at the same time.
Some corner of Fengdu.
Narumi Detective Agency.
The city became much more desolate due to the disappearance of the famous detective Shokichi Narumi.
Akiko Narumi followed the address in her hand and came here.
Walking into the office door, there is a simply decorated room inside.
Shotaro Zuo was wearing a shirt and vest, sitting sideways in a chair, reading a collection of detective stories in original English.
On the wall next to him hung several dress hats, of the famous Winscale brand.
Seeing a guest coming in, he slowly closed the book.
"A female high school student? What can I do for you?"
Akiko walked up to Shotaro and asked, "Are you the half-boiled detective that the sign at the door says?"
"It's hard-boiled! Tough guy! Do you understand? Have you learned English? Tough-boiled detective!" Shotaro seemed to care about this and immediately corrected him.
"What a mess... Really, my dad has hired some weird employees." Akiko took out a property ownership certificate and placed it in front of Shotaro. "You freeloader, please move out of this office immediately. I am the owner of the property here!"
Shotaro looked at the property ownership certificate written in black and white and spat out the coffee he had just drunk.
"Narumi Akiko..." Shotaro saw Akiko's full name, "Could it be that... you are the uncle's daughter!"
He looked at Asuko's face, and his mind unconsciously recalled the night of the beginning.
Especially the scene where Shokichi Narumi was unfortunately shot and killed.
When he saw Shokichi's daughter, Shotaro was at a loss for a moment.
"By the way, where is Dad?" Yashuzi looked around.
"Uncle, uncle...can't come back for the time being." When asked this, Shotaro's eyes immediately became evasive and looked away.
Just when Asuko wanted to continue asking questions, the door of the office slammed open.
A mature woman wearing a pink top and a short skirt walked in.
Shotaro looked at the person and felt that she was familiar. After a moment, he recognized that she was his childhood sweetheart: "Marina Tsumura!"
"Ah! Sho-chan! Long time no see." The beautiful girl named Marina also called out happily when she saw Shotarou.
Then, her expression became pitiful: "Xiang-chan, I really don't know what to do. I heard that you were a detective, so I had to come to you!"
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Shotaro asked hurriedly.
Marina nodded and took out a photo.
It turned out that a week ago, her boyfriend Togawa Yosuke mysteriously disappeared.
Marina is very worried, and this time she comes here hoping that Shotaro can help her find someone.
After understanding the situation, Shotaro immediately agreed: "Don't worry, this city is my backyard, I will never let anyone cry!"
He didn't know how to deal with the sudden appearance of Asuka, and Marina came at the right time.
So, he said a few words to comfort Marina, then quickly put on his coat, left the office, and started working on the case.
Shotaro grew up in this city and is familiar with everything in Fuuto. He also has several specialized sources of intelligence.
He rode his beloved motorcycle and asked around with a photo of Togawa Yosuke.
Finally, one of his sources, Little Christmas, who often dresses up as Santa Claus and sells souvenirs, claimed to have seen Togawa Yosuke. At that time, Togawa Yosuke was in contact with a mysterious man in a black suit on the street.
The man in the suit had a unique temperament, holding a suitcase in his hands and wearing a white tie around his neck.
And in the middle of the tie, there is a bright red spot like blood!
Arriving at a windmill on the street, Shotaro sat down to rest for a while. He already had his own guess: "Sure enough... another incident related to Gaia's memory..."
"Someone in this city is secretly circulating Gaia Memory!"
At this moment, a green slipper fell from the sky and hit him on the head!
"Damn, that hurts!" Shotaro covered his head and looked back.
It turned out to be Asuko, she was shaking a pair of slippers in her hand with a proud look on her face.
"Hey, what are you following me for?" Shotaro shouted.
"As the owner of this firm, I have the obligation to supervise whether you are doing your job well!" said Yashuko.
Although she had never handled a case before, she had always been curious about her father's work. Now, of course, she would not miss the opportunity to get close to the incident.
"Report to me quickly if there is any progress." Yashuzi ordered.
Shotaro had no choice but to explain helplessly: "Togawa Yosuke was originally an employee of Winscale Company. He was recently fired and lost his job."
"His disappearance may be related to this."
"Several of Winsky's branches have recently suffered explosions. I'm afraid... it's not a coincidence..."
Yashuzi pondered for a moment: "You mean, the explosion of Winscale Company was revenge by Togawa Yosuke!"
"Can he make his own bomb?"
Shotaro didn't explain in detail, he didn't want Akiko to be involved in the strange events here.
Kaya Shuzi continued, "I just saw a flyer. There's a museum opening near the building over there."
"That museum seems to have a partnership with Winscale, which has sponsored a lot of souvenir clothing and hats to promote itself."
"If Togawa Yosuke really holds a grudge against the Winscale Company, he must be keeping an eye on the company's movements at all times and will never allow such a promotional activity to go smoothly!"
“That museum might be his next target.”
Shotaro's eyes lit up: "Indeed, you are worthy of being the uncle's daughter."
He quickly got on his motorcycle and took Akiko to the newly opened museum.
I saw that the place was already crowded with people from all walks of life who were interested in culture and history.
Shotaro carefully observed the surroundings and sent a message to Philip via the communicator: "Philip, if my guess is correct, this incident has something to do with Dopant (dopant) again."
A young man's lazy voice came from the communicator: "Ah, I've been ready for a long time."
After hearing this, Ya Shuzi looked puzzled: "What doping body? Who are you talking to?"
Shotaro didn't have time to respond, because in the chaotic and crowded crowd he vaguely caught a glimpse of a young man with dyed yellow hair standing in the distance, staring at this place fiercely.
"Togawa Yosuke! He's here as expected!" Shotaro said in his heart.
At this moment, in the museum's management office, Fang Yi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the upper floor, silently looking down at the movements below.
He noticed Shotaro and Akiko, and also saw Togawa Yosuke over there, with a calm expression:
“So many important people came on the first day of opening.”
"Looks like we're finally going to meet officially, W."
