[Wen Hao] I worked hard to restore the health of the protagonist group
Chapter 275 Skyline Casino
Tiaoye Caiju smiled brightly.
“Yes, we are conducting visits and inquiries on the case.”
He was thinking of something now, the smile on his face faded, and he spoke in a serious tone.
"Come to think of it, Manager. The vicious terrorist organization that's making a lot of noise right now, the Armed Detective Agency, seems to be located above this store."
Before the store manager could answer, Xie Shuyi spoke first, "Yes, I often come to this store to buy cakes, and I occasionally saw them in the store before."
He tucked the loose hair behind his ears, and a hint of fear appeared on his face, which was decorated with delicate makeup. "It's really scary to think about it, Grandpa Manager."
The store manager frowned slightly. He had no recollection of having met the woman in front of him before, but she gave him a familiar feeling.
Facing the woman's words, the store manager just smiled and said, "Yeah, that's really unexpected."
The answer seemed flawless, but his team seemed to have already been biased.
Tiaoye Caiju seemed to be interested in Jie Shuyi who kept interrupting, and he took out a photo from his bag.
"Do you like the desserts here? Then see if you recognize this person?"
Xie Shuyi took a quick glance and covered his mouth in surprise, "Huh? It's the waitress in the store."
After exclaiming, she quickly adjusted her manners like a lady and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Mr. Officer? Did something happen to the waitress?"
Tiaoye Caiju looked at his reaction. Whether it was his breathing or heartbeat, even the body temperature of Jie Shuyi that Tiaoye Caiju could feel was normal.
He had never seen anyone who could control his body so perfectly.
But it's so perfect that it makes people feel weird.
Tiao Ye Cai Ju's tone suddenly changed and he handed the photo to the store manager.
"He really is an employee of your store."
The store manager did not pick up the photo, but just took a quick look and confirmed the identity, "Yes, but she is off today. May I ask what happened to her?"
Seeing that no one was looking at him, Xie Shuyi continued to taste the cake with his head down.
The taste of the new mousse cake in the store was indeed average. It was not because the store manager's craftsmanship had deteriorated, but because Jie Shuyi could taste the maker's impatience and anxiety from the cake.
The recent events at the detective agency have had a great impact on the store manager, Grandpa.
In fact, the store manager is very good at controlling his emotions. For an ordinary person, he does very well.
Jie Shuyi took a sip of the sweet tea, but unfortunately there was a wild chrysanthemum in front of him.
It will be exposed.
"According to the intelligence we received, she has a very close relationship with the Armed Detective Agency. We believe that she may have provided assistance to the Armed Detective Agency's escape."
Hearing what Tiao Ye Cai Ju said, the store manager paused while washing the cups. He sighed softly, "She is not going to be of any use as a miscellaneous employee."
Tiao Ye Caiju did not answer. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the latte, feeling the aroma of coffee exploding on his taste buds. He curled his lips in enjoyment.
"awesome."
"I have so much respect for people who can make great coffee that I'd like to recruit you to my business facility."
Tiao Ye Cai Ju was generous in praising the store manager's craftsmanship, and the latter relaxed his guard a little, but soon Tiao Ye Cai Ju changed his attitude.
"But there's just one problem..."
The smile on Tiaoye Caiju's lips grew wider, and her voice became hoarse, like the devil's whisper.
"That is... you are a despicable liar."
The store manager was obviously stunned, "Swindler?"
"I can tell from the sound of your breathing. You just said that the detective agency wouldn't hire a handyman to help. But that was a lie because you knew she had supernatural powers."
The store manager lowered his head and continued to wipe the cup in his hand. "What are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
“You seem to buy half-year-old coffee beans at once, but the aroma of this cup of coffee is so fresh. Why is that?”
Xie Shuyi knew that Tiao Ye Caiju was a bad person, and he just wanted to expose the store manager's lies bit by bit, in an attempt to see the store manager's grandfather broken.
He gently put down the spoon in his hand.
Although it is slightly different from what I originally thought, it is a good thing to focus on myself earlier.
Xie Shuyi didn't want to admit that he would do something that would affect his life for the manager of a dessert shop who often went there.
He would rather attribute the reason to...actually he himself was too impatient.
"Because the store manager grandpa will store the coffee beans in her special power room. The special power space can slow down the passage of time, and even if there are a lot of beans, they can still stay fresh."
Jie Shuyi held up his head and interrupted Tiao Ye Caiju's words. His behavior was very impolite, but surprisingly, Tiao Ye Caiju did not show any displeasure on his face.
On the contrary, I am very happy to see it happen.
"It seems like you are very familiar with the store manager. You have tried to speak up for him several times."
Xie Shuyi's behavior was ostensibly to help Tiao Ye Caiju expose the store manager's lies, but in fact it cut off the store manager's opportunity to speak and prevented him from revealing more flaws.
A very aggressive charging style of play.
"I just like the cakes here. If the police officer embarrasses the store manager, I will be very distressed."
Tiaoye Caiju chuckled. Faced with Jie Shuyi's warning, he became even more excited.
He stood up straight, resting his hands on the bar counter, leaning forward slightly, staring at the manager intently.
"You just said that Miss Lucy only took a day off today? Ha, that's also a lie. She took an indefinite leave."
Like a provocation to Jie Shuyi, every word of Tiaoye Caiju hits people's hearts directly, and her sharp words leave people no chance to refute.
"Because she didn't know if she could come back, yet you allowed her to leave. Because you knew that only she could save the Armed Detective Agency."
The manager couldn't even refute after hearing this. He maintained his previous action and wiped the clean cup countless times.
"That's a headache. Your crime is being an accessory after the fact to terrorism."
Tiaoye Caiju no longer stared at the store manager, but glanced sideways in the direction of Jie Shuyi. He smiled sinisterly and spoke in a light tone.
It was a threat to the store manager, but it was more like a provocation to Jie Shuyi.
"If you still want to hide her whereabouts, you will never be able to make coffee again in your life."
Jie Shuyi inserted the spoon into the ice cream that he had not yet eaten, and after leaving it there for two seconds, he slowly stood up, and in front of Suehiro Tiechang's surprised gaze, he pulled open Tiao Ye Caiju's collar.
The latter's long speech came to an abrupt halt as the cold spoon slid down the back of his neck and across his back, instantly making the white shirt underneath wet.
"Ah!!" Tiaoye Caiju lost her calmness in an instant, jumping and waving her arms and legs, trying to take out the spoon.
He looked at Jie Shuyi in disbelief, "What are you doing?"
Then he looked at Suehiro Tetsuji with a look of betrayal, "Why don't you help stop them?"
"It's your bad habit to deliberately tease your opponent and take pleasure in making him anxious. Ice can help you calm down." Suehiro Tetsuchang took small sips of coffee.
He did not notice that Jie Shuyi showed murderous intent. Facing a willful girl, Suehiro Tiechang had no reason to choose to take action.
At this moment, Xie Shuyi has returned to his seat.
Facing the store manager who was currently under threat, he could have said something comforting.
You can denounce the police officer in front of you for having no evidence.
It can also comfort the store manager that he can keep making coffee.
But when the words came to his lips, Xie Shuyi's voice fell silent.
He has no right to say these words.
Because the store manager is also a warrior charging for the detective agency.
Those perfunctory words are disrespectful to the store manager.
"The store manager's cake is delicious, I like it very much." Xie Shuyi took out some change and handed it on the table.
When he handed the booklet back, he could clearly feel the manager's eyes staying on him longer.
He did not deliberately raise his voice when he said this just now. It was the fresh and clean voice of a young boy. Anyone who was slightly familiar with Jie Shuyi would be able to guess his identity.
Jie Shuyi chose to reveal his identity at that moment just to give the store manager some peace of mind. No one, whether it was Lucy or the detective agency, gave up.
Please rest assured, store manager, and be firm in what you trust.
The store manager seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he just put the crumpled paper money into his pocket and watched Jie Shuyi leave.
Rather than continuing to torture the store manager's mind, Jyouno Caiju was obviously more interested in the stranger who suddenly appeared. After saying hello to Suehiro Tetsuji, she hurriedly ran outside.
Tetsuji Suehiro was still sitting in the same seat. The purpose of their coming to the coffee shop this time was to get the next direction of the detective agency's actions from the manager.
Since Tiao Ye Cai Ju left because of selfish motives, he has to take on this task.
"Is it a sin to want to repay an important benefactor?" Suehiro Tiechang's voice was always calm, and even when he poked a hole in the window paper, he did not ask oppressive questions.
"I promise you that as long as you tell us where he is, we will not hold him responsible for any crime. We have the authority to do so."
And a world where the innocence of young girls is not betrayed is the world we should protect."
Only if Suehiro Tetsuji said such words would not arouse suspicion. There was no intrigue or calculation, and the emotions he expressed were so sincere.
The store manager also put down the cup in his hand unconsciously, "It's not just Lucy I want to help..."
Suehiro Tetsugu nodded, "The Armed Detective Agency, right? Then I promise you that I will give them a fair trial."
He half-knelt on the ground, placed the saber in his hand less than half an inch in front of him, took off the military cap on his head with clean movements, and knelt deeply.
"I swear to this sword that if I break my promise I will commit seppuku."
"please."
The store manager took a deep breath and said, "Lucy said that she doesn't care even if it means ruining the rest of her life. So..."
"Please, please save her life."
"Please, save the detective agency too."
The store manager also bowed deeply to Suehiro Tetsugu, who nodded solemnly, "I will, leave it to us."
The store manager took a deep breath and stared into Suehiro Tetsuji's eyes, trying to find any hint of deception in them, but in the end, he still came back empty-handed.
He already knew that the young man in front of him was not lying.
After hesitating for a while, the store manager finally said, "She was going to the Skyline Casino."
......
After Xie Shuyi left the coffee shop, he walked straight into the alley across the street.
As he walked further in, the roads branched off more and more. He finally reached a dead end and sat down on a pile of cardboard boxes without panic.
His slender white legs were dangling leisurely in the air. He was humming an unknown tune. Even when he heard the guests coming, he didn't even bother to look up.
"Since you invited me here, you won't even give me a cup of tea?"
Xie Shuyi seemed to have just noticed his presence and exclaimed, "Oh, isn't this the police officer? How did you get here?"
He stretched his neck pretending to be curious and looked behind Tiaoye Caiju, but he didn't see another figure and exclaimed in surprise again.
"I thought you really wanted me to watch the two of you fight it out. Why didn't the other police officer come?"
Tiaoye Caiju stood in an open space not far away and laughed, "He is interrogating the manager of the coffee shop just now. As I said, I suspect he is collaborating with the enemy and I plan to arrest him."
Xie Shuyi nodded, pretending not to understand. "Is that so? Then why did you come to see me, Officer? I am a good citizen."
"Really? You can't be trusted to know the supernatural powers of a waiter in a small coffee shop."
Xie Shuyi laughed and said, "Really? Haha, maybe you're overthinking it."
The wild chrysanthemums are still smiling.
"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you the psychic who just came to Yokohama?"
At this time, Suehiro Tetsuji also rushed over. After sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, his hand unconsciously immersed itself on the hilt of the sword, ready to fight at any time.
Xie Shuyi did not give a direct answer, "I am just a student who came to Yokohama for tourism."
He couldn't help but look at Suehiro Tetsuji, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the latter's clothes were still neat and tidy and there was no smell of blood.
It seems to work pretty well.
The attention has indeed shifted to myself.
"Oh? A student? I've never seen anyone as bold as you. I'm afraid we'll have to bother you to cooperate with our investigation."
After he finished speaking, Tiaoye Caiju pressed forward, obviously trying to pull him down from the pile of cardboard boxes.
Xie Shuyi nodded slightly, "No. I hate dealing with smiling foxes the most."
Before Tiao Ye Cai Ju could make a move, he jumped down and stood 5 meters away from the two of them.
Turn on your phone and dial the number on the top.
The phone rang within less than two seconds before the other party picked up the call.
Tiaoye Caiju watched his actions quietly, while Jie Shuyi just curled his lips and smiled.
"Your Ministry of State invited me to Yokohama, but how come a police officer wanted to interrogate me not long after I landed?"
