As time went on, the dishes on the plate gradually became smaller.
After eating and drinking his fill, Hattori Heiji leaned comfortably on the back of the dining chair. He patted his slightly bulging belly and burped without any image. He really enjoyed his meal today.
Sakata Usuke's fighting spirit was undeniable, so they both ended up ordering an extra sweet-scented osmanthus rice cake as a dessert. Of the eight rice cakes, only half remained after Fujiwara Yuu returned from the restroom. This half, he'd broken off from Hattori Heiji's mouth; if the kid's mouth had been bigger, he wouldn't have been able to get a single bite.
"Brother Toji, where are we going to go shopping later? I feel a little full." While saying this, Hattori Heiji glanced at the plate of fried crabs in the typhoon shelter on the next table, which also looked very delicious.
Fujiwara Yuu held his chin with a completely exhausted expression. He answered with a hoarse voice:
"Tokyo's nightlife has nothing to do with a minor like you. Just go back to the hotel and get some sleep."
"I have no interest in that kind of place. Could it be that... Brother Touji, do you often go to that kind of place to play?" Hattori Heiji had a teasing expression on his face. After getting familiar with Touji Sosuke, he also began to dare to make jokes.
"Get out, I'm not interested in that kind of noisy environment." Fujiwara Yu said unhappily.
He leaned back deliberately, and his head collided with Sotaro Goji who was drinking behind him. The wine in the glass spilled directly onto his white shirt, which made Sotaro Goji unhappy and he lifted his sleeves and looked back.
But when he saw the purple-haired young man's appearance clearly, his anger instantly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Hmm? Isn't this Officer Takashi? I didn't expect to see you here. I see you on the news all the time."
Fujiwara Yuu didn't expect that his fame had become so great that even Sotaro Goji knew him. He had originally wanted to deliberately create some trouble to get the other party to notice him, but now, the other party already knew him.
He lowered his gaze to the white shirt he had soiled, and his tone was naturally apologetic, pretending to take out his wallet.
"Excuse me, sir. How much is your shirt? Let me pay you."
"No, no, Mr. Takagi, it seems you have no impression of me." Soutarou Goji smiled and waved his hand. He had heard of Takagi Sosuke from people around him. It would be troublesome if he was targeted by this guy. He had to behave well in front of him.
Hattori Heiji was quite familiar with this kind of thing. He stood up and walked to the side of Takashi Sosuke, and whispered a reminder:
"Brother Yingsi, he is a member of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly. I saw him on the news on Osaka TV before."
Fujiwara Yu pretended to understand, and after Goji Sotaro introduced himself cheerfully, he did not forget to pick up the expensive bottle of wine and invited Takashi Sosuke to have a drink with him.
"I'm sorry Mr. Goji, I drove here so I won't drink."
"Then come sit down and chat for a while. Look, this is Ms. Reina Mizunashi from Nichimi TV. I came to Tokyo this time at the invitation of the TV station. I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet you, Mr. Takashi."
Fujiwara Yuu naturally would not refuse this invitation. When he looked at Hondou Eikai, his expression was very calm. After all, the several interviews he participated in were organized by Nichimi TV. As a result, both Fujiwara Yuu and Takagi Sosuke were acquainted with Mizunashi Rena.
At the enthusiastic invitation of Sotaro Goji, he had no choice but to go to the next table and chat for a while, until the other party got a little drunk, and then ended this hypocritical exchange meeting.
After paying and arriving at the nearby parking lot, Hattori Heiji did not forget to ask:
"Brother Yingsi, does that host named Mizunashi Reina like you? Why does she always flirt with you?"
Fujiwara Yuu glanced at Hattori Heiji speechlessly, and in his heart he admired Hattori's observation skills. He had magnified the subtle expression and movement of Hondou Eikai just now. He reached out and rubbed his head, saying calmly:
"She was just being grateful to me. It was obvious during our conversation that she had been coerced into eating by the township councillor. As a police officer, sitting next to me naturally gave her a sense of security."
"Tsk, that bald guy really doesn't look like a good guy. Besides, he likes to suck the soup off the dumplings with his mouth while eating. It's really a torture to eat with him." Hattori Heiji complained with disgust on his face.
Fujiwara Yu just smiled and didn't reply. Before getting in the car, he checked the content of the email. It was indeed sent by Hondou Eikai. She was indeed confused about her appearance here today.
Hondou Eikai: Isn't it too bold for us to communicate via email now? Won't the organization notice?
The email address was secretly slipped into Hondou Eikai's coat hanging on the back of the chair by Fujiwara Yu before he left. He had previously exchanged information in person, but now his mobile phone number had been encrypted by Sawada Hiroki, so there was no need to worry about any problems with email exchanges.
[Fujiwara Yuu: Don't worry, this is safer than meeting in person. Also, don't overthink it. It wasn't my intention to be there today. I have some things to take care of here. From now on, use this address to communicate.]
After replying to the email, Fujiwara Yu opened the car door and got in, driving Hattori Heiji and Sakata Usuke to the Beika Hotel where they were staying. The hotel was not far from the restaurant, and even in a traffic jam, the drive would take less than ten minutes.
"Brother Takagi, don't you want to go up and sit for a while?" Hattori Heiji asked another question after getting off the car. It can be seen that he wanted to stay with Takagi Sosuke for a while, no doubt wanting to ask about the details of the cases recently solved in Tokyo.
Fujiwara Yuu naturally saw through Hattori Heiji's little trick. He yawned lazily and refused:
"No, I've been a bit busy lately. I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department to prepare materials for tomorrow, so I won't be going up. You two should get some rest early. I'll arrange for someone to take you to the station tomorrow."
"Okay, then take care of yourself."
"Thank you for accompanying us, please drive slowly on the way back."
Fujiwara Yu nodded and watched them enter the hotel. He didn't leave the hotel parking lot, but waited in the car for a while. He recalled the content displayed on Sakata Yusuke's phone and sent him an email without hesitation.
[Fujiwara Yuu: Go downstairs.]
After reading these two simple words, Sakata Usuke actually breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Hattori Heiji, who was lying on the bed with no intention of sleeping at all, and said:
"Heiji, I'm going to the convenience store downstairs to buy some drinks. Do you want anything to drink?"
"Hmm? Then bring me a Coke. I want Coca-Cola."
"OK."
After leaving the hotel room, Usuke Sakata hurried downstairs. After returning to the hotel parking lot, he saw Sosuke Takashi sitting in the car with the window rolled down and looking at him. He understood what he meant and immediately got into the car.
Before the car door was closed, the other party asked directly:
"You're not here to travel in Tokyo this time, are you?"
