He knew that Morimura was about to hold a formal wedding with his wife, and because of this, he was determined to make a contribution, but he did not expect that the ending would be separation.
"Mrs. Morimura is remarrying."
Superintendent Matsumoto poured Tang Ze some wine and said, "We tried to persuade her back then, but she said she hoped we could help Morimura get revenge and catch the criminal.
But time went on and on, and we still hadn't caught the criminal, so she said we had to wait until the statute of limitations expired...
I don't know what she is stubbornly waiting for, but some time ago I heard the mother-in-law in the hotel say that she has been secretly wiping away tears at night recently.
I know she was unwilling to accept that after so many years of waiting, she only got such an ending, but fortunately, you solved the case."
Inspector Matsumoto talked a lot and drank glass after glass of wine. Inspector Megure beside him did the same. He seemed not to care at all whether he would get drunk or whether he could go home.
Looking at the two of them, Tang Ze could only drink with them, one cup after another. He saw that they seemed to want to drink all the regrets and joy of making up that had been suppressed in their hearts for many years along with the wine.
Letting go is something worth celebrating, but this wine may also contain the reluctance and longing to say goodbye to good friends.
The next day, Tang Ze got up late.
Even Tang Ze couldn't handle the alcohol he drank yesterday. The last thing he remembered was that Nanatsuki Koshimizu drove him back.
Tang Ze shook his head, got up from the boat and walked towards the bedroom.
"woke up?"
When Ayako saw Tang Ze, she handed him a glass of honey water that she had prepared earlier: "Come and have a drink first, you drank too much yesterday.
Although you are still conscious, this is the first time I see you drunk."
"Sorry." Tang Ze took the cup and smiled apologetically: "I drank a little too much yesterday."
"I've heard Yue Shui explain the situation. I understand."
Ayako smiled and said, "I asked Yueshui to drive your car home. After all, it's not easy to get a taxi at that time.
Do you want to rest at home today, or do you want me to take you to the research institute later?"
"I solved a big case yesterday, so I'm given a day off today."
Tang Ze felt that since he had just solved a case, the next one shouldn't be so frequent, and he also had the holiday granted for his great contribution yesterday, so there was no need to be so diligent.
And he did drink too much yesterday, and he still felt like he had a hangover today. He felt a little unwell, had a headache, and felt groggy, not as clear-headed as before.
He's in this state, so I guess those two aren't much better. When he left yesterday, they couldn't even stand steadily and had to stay in the pub.
Fortunately, the hotel’s specifications included accommodation, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.
After deciding to slack off, Tang Ze was too late. He first put down the water to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then drank the honey water in one gulp.
The warm water with the sweet scent of flowers flowed into Tang Ze's lungs through his mouth, and his somewhat drowsy brain was also refreshed.
After drinking the honey water, Tang Ze felt much better. After eating the breakfast made by Ayako, even his stomach felt warm and he felt much more comfortable.
Today, Ayako originally planned to take care of Tang Ze, so she didn't go to the company directly. However, she didn't expect Tang Ze to wake up very early. After nine o'clock, the two had breakfast and had nothing to do.
After watching the news and discussing it, the two newlyweds, who had been separated for a short time, decided to go out and buy some ingredients to cook a good meal at home, in order to hold a belated welcome party for Tang Ze.
However, when Tang Ze was purchasing ingredients in the supermarket, he suddenly received a call from Suzuki Jirokichi, who asked if he was free in the evening and needed his help with something.
After learning that Tang Ze did not go to work today, he anxiously invited Tang Ze to his house and hung up the phone without waiting for him to ask anything.
"Did Uncle Jiroyoshi say what it was?"
Ayako, who was standing by, said worriedly after seeing Tang Ze hang up the phone, "This is the first time I've heard my uncle so anxious. Let's go over and take a look."
"Okay." Tang Ze and his companion had just arrived. After quickly paying the bill, they immediately drove to Jiroyoshi's house.
"What? Lupin is locked up?"
After arriving at Suzuki Jirokichi's house and learning the details of what happened, Ayako asked in surprise, "In that big vault called 'Iron Raccoon'?"
This Lupin is not the world-famous thief "Lupin the Third", but the yellow-haired dog raised by Suzuki Jirokichi, wearing goggles and a pilot hat.
Lupin was carefully trained by Suzuki Jirokichi. He even helped Suzuki Sonoko retrieve her bag that was stolen. He is very smart and sensible. Everyone in the Suzuki family likes him very much.
"Yeah, I was careless for a moment and didn't notice it wasn't out."
Suzuki Jirokichi put his hands on his head and looked devastated: "That was built by the mechanical master of the late shogunate, Sanshui Kichiemon, and it was said to be the strongest vault that no one could contribute to!
I tried many times and it just won’t open!!”
"But I remember that Uncle Jiroyoshi, you know how to open the safe?" Ayako asked in confusion.
"That's the problem." Suzuki Jirokichi said with an annoyed look: "I wrote the method to open the vault on the scarf around Lupin's neck..."
"Doesn't that mean you've also locked up the method to open the vault?" Ayako asked in surprise, "So what do we do now?"
"It's not that I didn't know that I asked Tang Ze for help." Suzuki Jirokichi looked at Tang Ze expectantly and said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Um...lock picking is not my specialty," Tang Ze said helplessly.
