The auto repair street at Koyanagi-cho 2-chome. The last time I came here was to investigate a kidnapping case.
After passing the two auto repair shops, we came to a motorcycle shop that was still open. The graffiti on the shop sign was very novel, and the combination of blue and yellow looked quite nice. It can be seen that the person who designed the sign has a certain artistic talent.
Fujiwara Yu, who is very interested in art, subconsciously fumbled in his pocket, only to remember that his mobile phone did not have a camera function - what a pity, he could only use his eyes to remember.
As soon as I pushed the glass door open, I heard a strange creaking sound from the machine placed at the door, as if it was trying to express: Welcome.
Well, it's obviously broken.
Monobe Sanju, a male employee wearing a red baseball cap turned backwards, politely said after seeing the four people enter:
"Welcome. Are you planning to buy a motorcycle, or would you like to inquire about motorcycle-related matters?"
Matsuda Jinpei has always been direct and impatient. He walked straight to the counter, without even looking at the motorcycles in the store, and said lazily with one hand on the counter:
"Hey Mr. Clerk, could you give us the information about the man with the goblet tattoo we saw in your store earlier?"
"Why?"
Monobe Sanjuu showed a surprised expression, looking up and down at the handsome young men in front of him. But as they say, you can't judge a person by his appearance, and he might not be a good person. He hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head.
"cannot."
"Huh? Why don't you tell us? That man with the goblet tattoo is a regular customer of your store, right?" Matsuda Jinpei expressed his incomprehension. It was nothing to just tell a customer's information, and they didn't look like bad people, okay?
Fujiwara Yu originally wanted Hagiwara Kenji, who had full social skills, to explain the reason, but he didn't expect that he was already enthusiastically choosing a motorcycle and had no intention of helping at all.
After hearing what the naturally curly customer said, Monobe Sanju frowned and said helplessly:
"Then let me ask you, why are you guys looking for that man?"
"Hey, Zhufu, tell him quickly! Why on earth are you looking for that guy?" Matsuda Jinpei narrowed his eyes and said with a somewhat impatient tone.
But who would have thought that Morofushi Kagemitsu would react so strongly after hearing these words, his body couldn't stop shaking. This behavior made the unsuspecting Matsuda Jinpei very confused. He didn't understand why he felt afraid. Could there be something he didn't know?
Fujiwara Yuu couldn't help but recall the tragic death of the couple in Nagano Prefecture. He reached out and patted Jingguang's shoulders twice to comfort him, then tried to raise the corners of his mouth and said as gently as possible:
"Excuse me, we are actually students from the police academy. We are here to investigate a case. I wonder if you can provide the identity information of the customer?"
"You're just students at the police academy, right? If there's a real case, let the police handle it. I'll then provide the information." Mononobe Sanju sighed and explained, "As a store clerk, I can't give you customers' personal information without reason. If my boss knew I violated a customer's privacy, he'd definitely fire me."
After hearing this, Fujiwara Yuya knew that it was impossible to get the information. He was about to say something, but was startled by the scream of Hagiwara Kenji who was looking at the motorcycle.
The three of them turned around in tacit understanding and saw Hagiwara Kenji with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and he said to them:
"I remember now!"
"ha?"
"Didn't the squad leader mention his father today at the martial arts gym?" Hagiwara Kenji frowned and continued, "I suddenly remembered a time when I was a kid and my sister and I went to a convenience store and saw a thug beating someone with a bamboo sword. The man with thick eyebrows who was being beaten looked a lot like the squad leader."
Hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei's expression became serious, and he said seriously:
"Hagi, please explain this matter in more detail."
"Well, let's talk about it outside. After all, we can't disclose the class monitor's privacy~" Hagiwara Kenji looked at the clerk with a smile, and it was obvious that he was saying it on purpose for him to hear.
Monobe Shuzo, who was curious, was speechless. He could only stare with his crescent eyes at the four people who walked out of the motorcycle shop. He felt bitter in his heart: I am just a worker, why are you making things difficult for the poor workers who work the night shift!
As soon as he walked out of the motorcycle shop, Zhu Fujingguang, who was thinking about how to divert their attention, immediately asked:
"What happened then? Why was the squad leader's father beaten by the gangsters? If I remember correctly, the squad leader's father seems to be a former criminal police officer, right?"
Fujiwara Yuu's gaze lingered on Morobushi Kagemitsu for two seconds, and he knew that he was the type who didn't want others to worry about him, so he had no choice but to help change the subject:
"Could it be that he was afraid of confronting the criminals head-on and chose to beg for mercy?"
Hagiwara Kenji recalled the scene at that time, sighed helplessly, and smiled bitterly:
"Yes, it's just as you think. I saw the squad leader's father kneeling down and begging for mercy from the criminals. He seemed to say, 'I'll give you all the money, don't hurt anyone.' But then something seemed to happen. The criminals suddenly took a bamboo sword and beat the squad leader's father repeatedly. He was seriously injured and had to be taken away in an ambulance."
"If this is true, it's no wonder that Captain Ida thinks his father is a coward." Matsuda Jinpei took out a cigarette box from his pocket with a little annoyance, shook out a cigarette and put it in his mouth without any intention of lighting it.
It’s not that he didn’t want to smoke, he just forgot to bring his lighter. This time he was going to the convenience store to replenish his stock and get a lighter at the same time.
