Hearing that Sotakuya and Gunda Ikumi came to see Asahi Shengyi, Asahi Shengyi's wife subconsciously curled her lips.
Then he replied: "He hasn't been home for a while."
"For this period of time, he has been preparing for the opening of a new restaurant in Tokyo Port, which is the Crystal Restaurant that has been heavily advertised in newspapers and TV."
"Crystal Restaurant?"
Sotakuya actually knew that this restaurant that was about to open was a newly opened underwater restaurant around Tokyo.
Now even Sotakuya, a person who doesn't read much TV or newspapers, knows about the upcoming opening of Crystal Restaurant. One can imagine how aggressive Asahi Shengyi's advertising was.
"Then Mrs. Xu, could you please tell me the contact information of Mr. Xu Shengyi? We have some situations that we need to find out from Mr. Xu Shengyi."
Xu Shengyi’s wife was very cooperative and picked up a piece of paper and wrote Xu Shengyi’s phone number.
"This is his phone number, but don't get your hopes up too much."
"I haven't contacted him for a while. Who knows which woman this old guy is fooling around with now." Xu Shengyi's wife was very dissatisfied, but her eyes suddenly lit up as she spoke.
"If you contact this police officer, can you help me find out if he is really having an affair?"
Faced with such a positive wife of Asahi Shengyi, Zong Takuya didn't know what to say for a while. He could only say to her: "If you suspect that Mr. Asahi Shengyi is having an affair."
"I personally suggest you find a detective to investigate. Mouri Kogoro from Yoneka Town is a very good affair investigation expert."
So Takuya did not hesitate to get a business from Kogoro Mori.
Usually, it's better to look for cats and dogs, follow the mistress, and investigate the affair than to just study the murder case, right?
When Sotakuya and Gunda Ikumi returned to Sabo's class, Sotakuya's expression gradually darkened: "Asahi Shengyi's wife said that she has been unable to contact Asahi Shengyi himself for a long time."
Gunada Ikumi and Sotakuya thought the same thing: "I'm afraid it's not that Asahi Shengyi doesn't want to contact them, but that he can no longer contact his family by himself."
"Let's go to the Water Crystal Restaurant!"
Sotakuya's car turned around and drove directly to the Crystal Restaurant in Tokyo Port.
After arriving at the Water Crystal Restaurant, because the restaurant will be put into use soon, there are people on duty inside the restaurant.
After Sotakuya showed his ID to the staff, he boarded the cable car to the inside of the restaurant.
"This restaurant is really unique. You have to take a cable car to get in and out." Sotakuya stood in front of the cable car door and overlooked the panoramic view of the entire restaurant.
I have to say that Asahi Shengyi, as an upstart in Tokyo’s catering industry, is indeed very clever.
For such a restaurant, even a layman like So Takuya felt that the business would be visibly good once it opened.
After entering the restaurant, Zong Takuya asked the staff for directions and went straight to Asahi Shengyi's office. After knocking on the door, there was no response.
Immediately, Sotakuya asked a staff member to open the door of the office. The inside was very clean, as if someone was cleaning it every day.
"Well, we do clean the president's office every day." The person in charge said to Sotakuya: "Because the president has some slight mysophobia."
"So there are staff members helping to tidy up and clean the president's office every day."
Sotakuya:
What the hell is there to investigate?
If something really happened to Xu Shengyi in the office, the staff would probably not leave any traces after cleaning it up like this.
So Takuya immediately called the staff responsible for cleaning the president's office, and learned from him that one day the president's office seemed a little messier than other times.
But he didn't see anything like blood, so he didn't take it seriously.
Indeed, after that day, Xu Shengyi seemed to have never used the office again.
He has been maintaining the office these days, and it is clear whether anyone has touched the things inside.
"Section Chief, Asahi Shengyi has probably been killed." Indeed, no evidence could be found in the office. So Takuya and Gunada Ikumi walked aimlessly inside the underwater restaurant.
"Yes, but where is Xu Shengyi's body hidden?"
Sotakuya and Gunada Ikumi thought the body was in the kitchen at first.
Although the restaurant is now in operation, the chef team hired by Xu Shengyi is not in place, and a large part of the kitchen has not yet been used.
If the body is thrown into the refrigerator, it will be difficult for anyone to find it.
——Under normal circumstances, ordinary employees will not go to the refrigerator without ingredients to play with it.
But the two searched for a long time, but did not find Xu Shengyi's body in the refrigerator.
Because you have to take the cable car in and out of the restaurant, and the cable cars at both ends are guarded by staff 24 hours a day.
If someone takes the body away from the cable car, it will definitely be discovered, and Xu Shengyi's figure is a bit fat. Packing it into a suitcase and taking it away is not an option.
Thanks to their status, Takuya Mune and Ikumi Gunda can move around inside the restaurant.
Because the entire restaurant is located underwater, it inevitably seems a bit depressing in the windowless corridor.
The two of them just walked into the restaurant that had not yet opened for business. The huge glass reflected the sparkling sea water, and the restaurant also couldn't see the colorful reflections of the sea water and the glass.
Looking at the fish swimming by So Takuya and Gunada Ikumi outside the window, their expressions changed greatly: "I remember there seems to be an aquarium in the Aqua Crystal Restaurant, right?!"
"That's right, Section Chief! I saw it on the restaurant map when I came in."
"Walk!"
After Sotakuya and Gunda Ikumi looked at each other, they rushed towards the aquarium.
Sure enough, at the bottom of the aquarium, the two found Asahi Shengyi, who was firmly pressed by a heavy object and impaled on the bottom of the water.
Judging from the appearance of the body alone, Xu Shengyi may have been murdered for some time.
"Send someone from the contact section. Mr. Asahi Shengyi, who represents the poker 'nine', has been killed." Sou Takuya sighed and stood up.
This can't be blamed on them. Judging from the performance of the corpse, Xu Shengyi's death may be ahead of Mu Mu Shisan's death.
The first person the murderer killed was Xu Shengyi.
This also proves Sotakuya's inference that the attack on Morai Kogoro and those close to him was just a cover. The murderer probably really wanted to kill Tsuji Hiroki and Asahi Katsuyoshi.
"Chief, wait a minute, I seem to hear some noises." Gunda Ikumi suddenly stopped Sotakuya who was about to leave, then closed his eyes and listened for a while, then walked towards the corner of the aquarium.
When the sundries piled in the corner were opened, Zong Takuya's pupils shrank suddenly!
That is a remote-controlled bomb that can be detonated at any time!
"Evacuate the staff and notify the headquarters to send all the people from the explosive ordnance disposal team over!"
"I'm afraid this is not the only bomb in this restaurant."
"It's the section chief, I'll go right away!" Gunda Ikumi left in a hurry, but Sotakuya started to think about the bomb in front of him.
Xu Shengyi, the owner of Water Crystal Restaurant, is dead, so this restaurant can be regarded as ownerless.
Zong Takuya didn't think Xu Shengyi's wife could keep this wealth.
Since Xu Shengyi's business territory will be divided up by others sooner or later, why not take advantage of his own people?
Just like Zou Takuya's career, one step is faster and the other is faster.
Sometimes you only need to get the news a few minutes earlier than your competitors, and the benefits you can obtain are completely different.
So Takuya immediately dialed Suzuki Shiro's phone number
