"That person wouldn't be you, would it?" Ai asked, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the somewhat embarrassed Kousuke.
Faced with Ai's strange gaze, Kousuke could only scratch his head and laugh awkwardly: "It's a little embarrassing, but there's nothing I can do, my strength doesn't allow it."
The two entered the store and followed the staff to an empty seat. After sitting down, Kōyū said to Ài, "I'll go get the food. You should eat more today."
Then she got up to get the food, and Ai sat down and took out a fashion magazine from the side of the restaurant to read.
"You should eat more today." A clear, bell-like voice rang out, and a man and a woman sat down in the seats next to Kōyū and Ai.
The woman had long, wavy hair and wore a burgundy coat over a black camisole. The slightly tight camisole accentuated her mature and alluring figure, revealing a deep cleavage that was extremely captivating.
The woman wore a black pencil skirt that accentuated her curves, and she exuded a perfume scent, though it was masked by the fragrance of the store.
Opposite the woman was a shy-looking boy with ordinary black hair that covered his ears. He wore black-rimmed glasses and had an average face; you might not be able to tell him apart in a crowd. But it had to be said that the boy was quite well-groomed.
The boy's clothes were simple: a plaid shirt and a pair of ordinary jeans that looked like they had been washed many times and were already somewhat faded.
"Come on, let's get ready to eat." Guangyou returned to his seat carrying many plates.
The couple next door seemed to be arguing about something. The argument stopped quickly, but Guangyou still glanced at them, just a glance, the kind of glance he took because he was annoyed by the noise.
"Come on, let's eat." Guangyou snapped out of his daze and turned to the waiter to light the stove.
After turning on the stove and adding oil, Guangyou poured all the meat from the plate into the pan.
Although his obsessive-compulsive disorder made him very unhappy, this is the secret to eating at a self-service barbecue, otherwise the parchment paper underneath will burn quickly.
He picked up slices of grilled meat and put them into Ai's bowl one by one until the bowl was full. Then he took meat from several other plates before he started eating.
Dip it in his own secret sauce, and put a bite of meat in your mouth. The rich aroma of meat and the flavor of the sauce fill your mouth.
At the same time, a strong, unmistakable spiciness filled the mouth.
"Too much chili was added..."
Kōyū took a breath, drank some juice to ease the burning sensation in his mouth, and asked Ai, "How are you?"
"Not bad, the meat at this restaurant is pretty good too." Ai ate her meal in a very ladylike manner, and she replied slowly.
Guangyou nodded. After all, this store is located in Ginza. If it weren't doing well, it would have gone out of business long ago. The business here is better than last time.
After finishing all the meat he had brought back, Guangyou wiped his mouth and got up to get some more.
As he got up, Guangyou noticed that the atmosphere between the couple next door was a bit strange. He shook his head and continued to the food pick-up area.
After Guangyou finished eating and had a while, something happened to the couple next door, but this time the situation seemed a bit more serious.
Such a commotion naturally caught the attention of Guangyou and Xiao Ai. Guangyou turned around and saw that the woman was tightly gripping his throat, her eyes were wide open as if they were about to pop out, and her face was flushed red, even a little purple.
The woman got up unsteadily, stumbled and fell to the ground. The movement was so large that she even knocked over the dishes on the table.
One of the bowls of steaming soup was poured directly over the woman, making her look quite disheveled, whereas she had previously appeared very charming.
"My beloved son, my beloved son!"
The man shook his daughter's body, and after a while, seeing no response, he lay on her body and began to weep bitterly.
"Damn it, I have to run into this kind of case while I'm having a meal." Guangyou chewed on his meat, rubbing his forehead, looking very troubled.
Guangyou was also helpless, but he didn't go forward to help. He just continued to finish the meat in his bowl. He wouldn't be able to finish it when the police came. He was only a third full. The situation was very urgent.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Inspector Megure arrived at the restaurant with a group of police officers and medical personnel. A cordon was set up at the entrance of the restaurant, and tourists passing by stopped at the door, craning their necks to see what was happening inside.
Inspector Megure arrived at the spot where the woman had collapsed and immediately spotted Kōyū, because Kōyū was eating nearby and the woman was lying not far from his seat.
"Inspector." Takagi shook his head at Inspector Megure with a serious expression.
Inspector Megure nodded and said to Takagi, "Takagi, have someone clean up this place and send the body to the forensic department for examination."
After making the arrangements, Inspector Megure turned around and asked Mitsuyu with a hint of helplessness, "Mitsuyu, did you see what happened?"
Guangyou nodded and swallowed the meat in his mouth: "I saw it."
"Could you tell me?" Inspector Megure asked.
"The man standing next to this woman was eating with her, and then suddenly the woman grabbed her neck and collapsed. Before Inspector Megure and you arrived, no one except that man had touched her." Kōyū picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Inspector Megure's face darkened: "Kuangyu, why are you still eating...?"
I'm a little hungry.
"There's someone dying right next to you, and you're still eating..." Inspector Megure was speechless. Logically, he should have told Mitsuyu to stop and leave, but Mitsuyu was an eyewitness and needed his help.
Even Ai looked at Kousuke with a speechless expression, but Kousuke shook his head and ate his meat nonchalantly, saying, "Anyway, I'm used to seeing this since I've been following Uncle Mori around."
“...”
"It's that Mori guy again," Inspector Megure said, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.
"Why don't you sit down and have something to eat, Inspector Megure?" Kōsuke said, picking up a piece of meat and turning to Inspector Megure.
Inspector Megure naturally refused. After a while, Takagi returned with his notebook and said, "Inspector, the deceased's name is Komori Aiko, she is 24 years old and currently unemployed."
"The man's name is Mamoru Uchikawa, he is 23 years old and works as a programmer at a software company."
"Okay, I understand." Inspector Megure nodded. "So, what are the results of the investigation? Have the lab results come back yet?"
Not yet, but it will be soon.
Takagi closed the notebook and said in a serious tone.
