"What are you doing?" After looking at Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"I won't make you braised pork tonight."
"Come here, Komekami, and keep an eye on that scumbag senior!" said Doma Mai hatefully.
"Monitor me?" Yushan Heren was a little confused. What was there that needed to be monitored?
"I'm keeping an eye on you to make sure that the scumbag senior doesn't cook bitter melon dishes." Tsuchima Mai snorted and said.
There was not much point in sitting there and reading comics, so Doma Mai thought it would be better to go to the kitchen and be on guard against Yushan Kazuto secretly adding bitter melon into the dish.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but give Domama a blank look. He said he couldn't cook bitter melon, so he couldn't cook it. Why didn't Domama trust him?
"Then stand further away and don't get in the way." Yushan Heren said involuntarily.
Tsuchiya blinked slightly, nodded, and stood a little further back.
Yushan Kazuto opened the refrigerator, took out the bitter melon, and shook it in front of Domama.
Chapter 1788 Sudden News
"That scumbag senior clearly said not to cook bitter melon!" Tsuchima couldn't help but say.
"I didn't say I was going to cook it. I just showed it to you." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Doma puffed up her cheeks. Just looking at the bitter gourd caused her physical discomfort.
"I don't know who discovered bitter melon and cultivated it as a vegetable. Why can't they find some more delicious vegetables?" Domama Mai couldn't help but say.
"Then which vegetables do you think are more delicious?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Doma Mai.
However, Doma Mai blinked slightly. In fact, she didn't like most vegetables.
"For example, yam!" After thinking for a long time, Domama Mai finally spoke.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Tsuchima and said, "That's the only one you can come up with."
"Hello, remember, I think I bought some yam this afternoon!" When mentioning yam, Domama's eyes flickered.
"We're not eating yam today, let's eat winter melon!" Yushan Heren glanced at Domama.
"Ah? Why?" Tsuchima couldn't help but ask.
Winter melon can be said to be one of the most hated vegetables in the garden, second only to bitter melon.
"Winter melon is easy to cook, but I have to use a pressure cooker to stew yam." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
Tsuchiya couldn't help but pout and stared at Yushan Kazuto.
"If you don't want to eat winter melon, eat bitter melon." After looking at Domama Yui, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
"Then, then it's still winter melon."
Although Domama also doesn't like eating winter melon, if she has to choose between winter melon and bitter melon, she will choose winter melon without hesitation.
……
After dinner, Doma Mai fell on the sofa.
The reason for entering the kitchen was actually premeditated.
Doma Mai had already made up her mind that after dinner, she would be able to lie freely on the sofa and read comics without being threatened by Yushan Kazuto.
After dinner, Doma Mai decided to come clean and stop pretending.
"Why are you lying down again?" Looking at Domama Yui's actions, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Lie down and be more comfortable." Doma Mai turned around and glanced at Yushan Kazuto.
"So do you think bitter melon tastes better when fried or squeezed?" Yushan Heren asked.
"None of them taste good. Kouma-chan doesn't want to eat bitter melon!" Domama-chan couldn't help but say.
It’s not enough to stir-fry the bitter melon, but there’s even bitter melon juice. What a devilish way of eating it.
"That's not something you can decide. If you don't sit up, your lunch box tomorrow will be a bitter melon lunch box." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"Ah~" Doma sat up with a bitter face.
"Usually, that scumbag senior doesn't care about Kouma-chan, why is he so strict today?" Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but say.
After looking at Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Yushan Heren had no choice but to take out his cell phone, take a look at it, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Without paying any further attention to Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto went straight back to the room and closed the door.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but pout slightly, stood up, walked to the door and wanted to go in, but found that the door was locked by Yushan Kazuto again.
Seeing this, Tsuchima Mai had no choice but to return to the sofa in a huff and picked up "Weekly Shonen Jump".
However, Yui Doma was always thinking about Kazuto Yuyama, and she no longer had much interest in her favorite comics.
I flipped through it casually, but didn't pay any attention to the plot or content.
Putting "Weekly Shonen Jump" aside, Tsuchima Mai turned her head and glanced at Hayama Kazuto's room.
Unfortunately, the door was still locked, and Tsuchima could only stand outside the door, imagining what Yushan and the others were doing in the room.
[Anyway, it's about those two suitcases again, right?]
Tujian Mai couldn't help but frown and thought to himself.
[I don't know what's in the suitcase. Why is the scumbag senior always hiding it like this? Could it be something really weird? ]
Several things flashed through her mind and Tsuchiya couldn't help but shake her head, clearing all the thoughts from her mind.
……
However, this time, Doma Yui guessed wrong. The suitcase that Yuyama and others brought back yesterday did not contain anything strange, but a pair of mechanical arms.
The main reason why he didn't want Doma Mai to know was that he didn't want to expose Fujinomiya Ningzi's physical condition.
Facts have proved that Yushan Kazuto's choice was not wrong. During class today, Fujinomiya Ningzi peeked at Yushan Kazuto many times.
However, the other party's expression was not as interested as usual, but instead revealed a hint of worry.
From the other person's expression, Yushan Kazuto could tell that Fujinomiya Ningko probably didn't want too many people to know about her illness.
Including Kato Megumi, everyone probably only had some guesses about Fujinomiya Ningzi's situation and had a vague understanding of it.
Even a close friend like Kato Megumi, Fujinomiya Ningzi didn't want her to get accurate information, so naturally, Fujinomiya Ningzi didn't want a friend who had a more distant relationship like Doma Yui to know the truth.
Kazuto Hayama chose to keep it secret, which coincided with Fujinomiya Ningzi's idea.
But the reason why Yushan Kazuto returned to the room was not because of Fujinomiya Ningzi's matter.
"Hui-chan, have you captured the other party's real-time surveillance video?"
Sitting in his seat, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
"Not yet. When Mr. Hei Dou called, he had already left." Hui Jiang said.
"Unable to read the storage files of the surrounding cameras?" Yushan Heren asked.
The image on the screen flashed, and a boy with his head lowered and a slightly messy hair appeared in the center of the screen.
The other party was standing in a corner opposite to Black Bean Ramen. Judging from the direction of his body, he should be secretly observing Black Bean Ramen.
Half a minute later, the other party hurriedly left the camera's monitoring range and turned into a blind spot.
Judging from the other party's slightly panicked reaction, he must have realized that Uncle Hei Dou had discovered him, so he left in a hurry.
Looking at the scene on the screen, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly.
[Have you entered a blind spot in the surveillance? That's a bit troublesome. ]
"Expand the scope and continue the investigation."
After thinking for a few seconds, Yushan Kazuto whispered.
Yushan Kazuto believes in Hui-chan's ability. As long as the other party's departure leaves any clues, Hui-chan should be able to find them out.
"No information yet." Hui-chan said after a few seconds.
"No information?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but be surprised.
The camera coverage rate in Japan is relatively high. Basically, cameras are installed in every street and alley. Generally, there are very few situations that the cameras cannot capture.
For a moment, Yushan and the others suspected that the other party was a criminal and deliberately walked around the camera.
Chapter 1789: Hard-won
However, after pondering for a moment, Yushan Heren calmed down and carefully analyzed the most likely scenario:
After leaving the range of the surveillance camera, the other party entered a closed space, so the other surveillance cameras could not capture the other party.
There are several possibilities in this closed space.
Maybe the person lived near the Black Bean Ramen restaurant and went straight home after leaving, thus avoiding other cameras.
In other words, the other party entered the vehicle after leaving. In this case, it is difficult for the surveillance camera to capture the other party.
The former is not a big deal. As long as we strengthen surveillance, we won’t have to worry about not being able to detect the other party.
If it's the latter, then it's a bit troublesome.
After all, according to what Uncle Heida said, the other party’s store does not seem to be in Tokyo.
Outside of Tokyo, cameras are not so prevalent, so if you want to spot the other person, you will probably just have to rely on luck.
"Can the other party's identity be completely confirmed?"
After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren finally spoke.
"Through communication with Uncle Hei Dou, it can be basically confirmed." Hui-chan said.
Yushan Heren blinked slightly and said, "Increase surveillance. If you find any trace of the other party, record it immediately."
Hui-chan responded, "Understood."
Although this is a very repetitive and extremely difficult task, it is still relatively simple for Hui-chan.
It's just possible that the energy consumption of the servers that Huijiang usually borrows may have increased slightly recently.
After arranging Hui-chan's tasks, Yushan Kazuto took out his mobile phone and opened the chat interface of Ebina Nana.
The chat history between the two still stopped on Saturday, when Nana Ebina wished Kazuto Hayama a happy birthday, and Kazuto Hayama sent an emoticon to express his gratitude.
After thinking for a long time, Yushan Kazuto still hadn't made up his mind to tell Ebina Nana about this matter.
After all, he didn't know when the next trace of Ebina Koichirō would be found. Now that he told Ebina Nana, it might only increase Ebina Nana's expectations.
Moreover, Hayama Kazuto was unable to confirm whether Ebina Koichiro deliberately avoided the camera's capture.
If it is the latter, then the situation is more complicated. Don't be in trouble if you find Ebina Koichiro later, only to find out that he has some special mission or even a criminal record.
After taking a deep breath, Yushan Heren put down his phone and leaned back on the sofa.
[After finding the other party and finding out the situation, tell Ebina. 】
……
Over the next few days, the search made no progress at all.
Although Hui-chan has been working hard, Ebina Koichiro seems to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace at all.
Every day when he returned home and listened to Hui-chan's report, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help feeling helpless.
Even when we were searching for information about Kayaba Akihiko before, we made progress every day and kept narrowing the possible range. We had never been in a situation like this, where we were at a loss.
"Any progress today?"
When they got home on Friday, Yushan Kazuto asked about Hui-chan's search progress.
"Not yet."
In the past few days, Yushan Kazuto has heard Hui-chan's answer several times.
"So, we should have left Tokyo that day?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but sigh.
If Ebina Koichirō still stayed in Tokyo, there would definitely be some clues left behind, unless he had not left the house in the past few days.
Kazuto Yuyama felt that this possibility was unlikely. Although according to the descriptions of Uncle Kurodo and Nana Ebina, Koichiro Ebina did seem to be a little introverted, he was not a otaku.
