Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"The fact that you haven't returned to the store yet proves that point." Miwako Sato also agreed with Inspector Megure's reasoning.

"Okay! Set up the restricted area line immediately."

"Oh! Oh! Haven't you been fooled enough?" Bai Quanyi shook his head with a helpless tone.

"What!?"

"Have you forgotten? The situation in the room." Bai Quanyi reminded.

"What's the situation with the landlord?" Sato Miwako paused.

"The bathroom was clean, but there was a rechargeable electric shaver but no charger, no toothbrush, and no underwear or socks among the clothes."

"What...what does this mean?" Inspector Megure was puzzled.

"Isn't it obvious? Cleaning the bathroom and taking away the toothbrush are all to eliminate the traces of having lived here."

"The electric shaver wasn't charged because I didn't need it, and there were no underwear or socks in my change of clothes to hide my gender. Now you understand!"

"No... Impossible! Could it be 'Hammer Man'?!"

"A woman!? The one who delivers the motorcycle courier!?"

"You're right. As for underwear, women's socks are smaller than men's, so they have to be hidden to avoid being exposed. The person living here is a woman."

After Shiraizumi Masu's detailed explanation, Inspector Megure was quite touched.

"Indeed...indeed, although he was called 'Hammer Man,' none of the victims said the culprit was a man."

"Because the murder weapon was a hammer and the method was brutal, the media might have just made up a random name. 'Man So-and-so' would have been more appealing."

"Although the person renting this house is a man, he also said he was moving in with his girlfriend."

"That means it was the man who disappeared from the room, but the woman continued to live here."

Seeing that Inspector Megure and the others had finished speaking, Shiraizumi continued, "And look, this pair of leather-padded shoes I just found makes it clear at a glance."

"This is for protecting your shoes when you're pedaling the gearshift pedal on a motorcycle. There's only one of these shoes in the shoe box; the others are unworn."

"This means that the owner of the shoes does not live here. He is a motorcycle courier. He is the man who was knocked to the ground." Inspector Megure understood.

"I guess she took her clothes, shoes, and underwear along with them! They were placed in the bag that the motorcycle courier was going to pick up. I'm afraid it also contained the platform shoes she wore to make everyone think the criminal was a man!"

"Oh, I see! It was once popular!" said Miwako Sato, touching her chin.

"If I don't come back, the police might become suspicious!" Bai Quanyi said.

"Okay, go set up a cordon immediately," shouted Officer Megure.

"There shouldn't be any need for that now." Bai Quanyi shook his head.

"Eh?" Inspector Megure looked at Shiraizumi Masu in confusion, "If we don't chase her now, she's riding a motorcycle."

"If she wanted to escape on a motorcycle, she wouldn't have left her shoes with leather pads in the closet! In other words, she probably wanted to change out of that outfit quickly. It's hard to get a taxi in that outfit, and the best place to change clothes is in the bathroom. Going to the bathroom inside a family restaurant would be too conspicuous, and her appearance and outfit might be seen after she changed clothes, so she had to go to a bathroom to avoid it."

"The toilet in the park." Sato Miwako was surprised.

"Is this the Beika Park near here where the incident happened last night?" Inspector Megure was also surprised.

"They're investigating the scene right now, so..."

……

Later, the Hammer Girl was arrested by Shiratori who was there.

At the same time, because Takagi made such a stupid mistake this time, he was severely criticized by Inspector Megure, given a serious warning, and asked to write a letter of responsibility, which was really hard for him.

Although the incident was resolved, Baiquan Yi was not idle. He threw the remaining work to his subordinates and went to have lunch with Xiaolan and Sonoko.

On the weekend, Xiaolan and Sonoko were left without their boyfriends, so they had to go shopping together. Upon learning of this, Shirazumi decided to act like a boyfriend.

383. Date Xiaolan and Sonoko at the same time

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Bai Quanyi finished lunch with Xiaolan and Sonoko.

"Mr. Bai, you came out specially to accompany me and Yuanzi. Will it affect your work?" Xiaolan asked with some concern.

"Work is important, but spending time with my girlfriend is equally important," Bai Quanyi said matter-of-factly. If a man works all day and has no time to spend with his family, what kind of man is he if his only focus is on work?

"That's right - as long as I, Sonoko, am here, it doesn't matter whether you work or not, Baijun, I will support you." Suzuki Sonoko said domineeringly.

"Yuanzi, you don't have a source of income yet, right?" Bai Quanyi said.

"My pocket money is definitely much more than your salary." Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile.

Today, Xiaolan wore a pink corset dress with a casual thin jacket that can be worn in summer. She also put on some makeup, high-heeled sandals, and painted light-colored nail polish on her fingernails and toenails.

Sonoko is wearing a candy-colored short-sleeved shirt, the material is very soft and the color is very fresh. She matches it with a chiffon skirt with small floral patterns and a pair of very comfortable little leather shoes. She is not wearing a hairband, and her bangs naturally cover her bright forehead, making her look very similar to the grown-up Ai.

The first date of the three of them after Shiraizumi Mashi confirmed the relationship between Xiaolan and Sonoko seemed to be a little different from before.

How can I put it? The atmosphere seems to have become dull.

"Where are we going to play?" Xiaolan asked while standing on the pedestrian street.

"Yes. We didn't expect Bai Jun to have time to accompany us, so we didn't make any plans. Xiaolan and I were planning to go shopping in the mall. However, Bai Jun must not like shopping in the mall." Sonoko said.

"It's okay. Going shopping in the mall is fine. Besides, you are wearing skirts today, so they are not suitable for any intense activities," said Bai Quanyi.

"Vigorous activities?" Sonoko narrowed her eyes. "You don't want to be with me and Xiaolan during the day..."

"As long as Bai Jun wants, it's not impossible..." Xiaolan's voice became smaller and smaller.

"No, that's not it. The intense activities I'm talking about are things like playing baseball or bowling in the gym." Shiraizumi was a little surprised by the audacity of his two girlfriends. Is it true that once girls become women, they become uncontrollable?

Finally, the place where the three of them had their date was a proper date place - the Western-style "clubhouse".

A castle-like mansion that provides dating services specifically for couples.

In addition to Shirazumi, Xiaolan, and Sonoko, there are many other couples. It is rare to see a man like Shirazumi with two girlfriends.

Of course, there were other guests besides couples. However, Bai Quanyi was surrounded by two girls, each holding one arm. He looked like a two-timing scumbag. What was rare was that his two girlfriends had no objection and the three of them were able to get along harmoniously.

"Wow! Every place here seems to be perfect for taking photos, so great!" It was Xiaolan's first time to visit such a place.

Yuanzi looked calm. Although this place was big, it was nothing compared to her home.

The entire corridor was lined with paintings and decorations. As the three of us looked at these displays, we walked on the crimson plush carpet and arrived at a spacious cafe.

"There's actually a cafe here, that's amazing..."

"It seems to be the only place in this mansion where you can rest." Sonoko said.

"Oh, Bai Jun also likes coffee shops very much." Xiaolan said.

"I like places where I can relax. Of course, home is the most comfortable place, and the second place is definitely a coffee shop." Bai Quanyi issued a lazy dog ​​declaration.

But to be honest, this cafe in front of me is a different story.

A cafe that was bustling with couples was definitely not a place to relax.

Bai Quanyi likes the kind of cafe where he can see a few scattered customers and relax on his own.

"Then...should we go in and sit down?" Xiaolan asked.

"No... there are so many people and we haven't reserved a seat." Bai Quanyi said.

"Leave it to me." said Sonoko.

After a phone call, Yuanzi made a reservation.

Just like that, the three of them were taken by the waiter to a reserved seat, which was an open private room.

In this location, you are less likely to be disturbed by other guests nearby.

"Yuanzi, you are so awesome, you are worthy of it!" Xiaolan exclaimed.

"Yuanzi, how did you get the appointment? Do you have any advanced technology?" Bai Quanyi asked.

"This is a trade secret. You will know it when you come to work for the Suzuki family." Sonoko said mysteriously.

"Then I won't ask."

Even if it is just described as classic in style, the interior decoration here feels several times more upscale than roadside cafes.

The interior design is such that it seems like the place is packed with people who enjoy visiting cafes. Even though it's not even 2pm yet and it's located in a Western-style building where you need to buy a ticket, there are still quite a few people entering the store, which shows how popular it is.

The three of them each ordered a cup of coffee and didn't order dessert because they had just had lunch not long ago.

As Bai Quanyi sat down on the sofa, his body slowly sank into it, supporting himself in a perfect position.

“It feels so good to sleep here…”

As Baiquan Yi said this, he was pulled up by Xiaolan and Sonoko.

Xiaolan: "Bai Jun, it's rude to sleep on a date."

Sonoko: "Do you want to become a negative example like Kudo Shinichi?"

"I'm just saying, coffee is good for staying awake, so why would I want to sleep?"

After saying that, Bai Quanyi picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

The coffee is not high-end, but it is not bad either. It is freshly ground and roasted, and tastes better than the coffee in KFC.

After taking a few sips of coffee, Bai Quanyi felt that drinking only coffee was a bit boring, so he waved to the waiter and ordered a large pancake.

Soon, the pancakes arrived.

"Since you two are afraid of getting fat and don't want to eat, just watch me eat."

Bai Quanyi reached out and picked up the dinner knife.

A large plate of pancakes sat on the table. They looked odd, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, tilted yet perfectly balanced.

Each layer of the three-layer pancake has a different color, so you can taste different flavors.

The muffins are decorated with patterns made of syrup, which makes them look very appetizing.

"Bai Jun (Nono Zhao), you look good now. I want to take a picture of you!" Yuanzi smiled and took out her cell phone.

"Yuanzi, I can help you take a couple photo of you and Baijun." Xiaolan also took out her mobile phone.

"What a good idea! Why didn't I think of it, Xiaolan? I can also take a couple photo of you and Bai Jun later, as if we are each dating Bai Jun alone." Sonoko said.

"Kaka..."

After taking the photo, Xiaolan said excitedly: "I want to tweet it."

Sonoko said, "I want to tweet too."

"Wait, if you guys just post this on Twitter, I'll be considered a scumbag online."

"That's what you are." Xiaolan said bluntly.

"That's right, Bai Jun, just be honest with yourself, okay." Yuanzi didn't care and posted the couple's photo on Twitter.

In reality, Bai Quanyi wasn't afraid of being called a scumbag; he was one anyway. He was worried that his other girlfriends might accidentally see him, which would be disastrous, and he'd have to come up with an explanation, which would be a hassle.

384. Xiaolan's dog costume, Yuanzi's cat costume

Bai Quanyi snorted coldly, shook his head, picked up the knife and fork, and started eating the pancake.

When you put the pancake into your mouth, the elegant sweetness immediately spreads in your mouth.

"Soft and sweet...the muffins taste really good, don't you two want some?"

Sonoko and Xiaolan still shook their heads, saying that they would not eat such highly sweet foods after meals.

"Never mind, I'll just eat alone. Anyway, let's decide where we're going later."

No matter what, there's no way I could spend the entire day in this mansion.

"Okay, let's go find it!" Xiaolan said.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look."

Yuanzi took out her cell phone, opened the webpage and prepared to search for dating spots in the county.

After opening the bookmarks bar, the "Lazy Package" website popped up. From nearby to far-flung destinations, the site offers a wide variety of recommended spots for couples, categorized by genre. The website is regularly updated, featuring rankings and a list of the most recommended date itineraries.

"Xiaolan, is there any place in particular you want to go?" Sonoko asked Xiaolan beside her.

"No... I think it's fine to just sit here and chat." Xiaolan smiled innocently.
