Taoyuantai Town.

A business van parked on the side of the road.

"Thank you, Mr. Dojima!"

In the passenger seat, Yuki Watanabe put down his cell phone and stared at the road outside the car window.

This road is a must-pass place to return to Tokyo. Dojima Gin just said so much on the phone, but only revealed the license plate number of the sports car to her, expressing some meaning in a vague way.

In fact, Yuki Watanabe almost interviewed Xia Yu last night, but was stopped by Gin Doshima and could not get close.

Before long, a red sports car arrived.

"Follow up--"

Yuki Watanabe said excitedly, greeting the driver.

It just so happened that they were going to return to Tokyo from the expressway. Yuki Watanabe was eager to know the identity of the mysterious chef, such a young "quasi-" super chef. If he agreed to publish his personal introduction and recipes in Taste Weekly, Yuki Watanabe could already imagine how the subsequent magazines would be sold and attract the attention of Quan Niong.

The tracking of the business car may not arouse Ryoko Lina's alertness. The two cars, one in front and one behind, slowly drove into the old shopping street of Amiyoko Town about 2 hours later.

"This place... is so desolate!"

With his eyes passing through the car window, Yuki Watanabe stared at the scene outside the window.

As soon as the car drove from the new block into the old block, a desolate atmosphere came to my face.

There are few passers-by on both sides of the street, but the key is that the shops along the street are closed in eight out of ten.

Yuki Watanabe has been here before, and even has two pretty good ramen restaurants and izakayas. He has been on the Tokyo special recommendation column of "Taste Weekly".

It seemed like two or three months ago.

In less than half a year, has this old street full of cultural customs not yet fallen to such a level? Watanabe Yuki feels regretful.

The red sports car ended up parked in front of a three-story building.

"stop--"

Yuki Watanabe asked the driver to stop, looked down the car window, saw the sign hanging on the floor of the small building, and subconsciously read it: "Xia Chinese Cuisine Store?"

"Do you want to go down?" the driver asked.

"Wait." Yuki Watanabe said. In her vision, a man and a woman walked down from a red sports car about twenty meters away.

Of course, Yuki Watanabe knew the slim woman dressed in white shirt and jeans. She had a hint of excitement in her eyes. Unexpectedly, she was really the heroine of the IGO Neon Club, Ryoko Lina, the idol of countless neon female chefs!

As for that male...

Yuki Watanabe looked at it and gasped.

Last night at the lakeside, the light was not very good, so she could only vaguely observe that Xia Yu was very young, but he never thought that this "young" was actually a minor!

"It seems like a high school student, right?" Yuki Watanabe couldn't help thinking.

Ryoko Lina obviously discovered the car and gave a glance at it. Yuki Watanabe shook and knew that she had been discovered.

Xia Yu actually discovered the car.

In the entire block, there was only Ryoko's car and that business car, and he couldn't help but not pay attention.

Without thinking too much, Xia Yu found the key and got out of the car and opened the door.

"Bang!"

He pushed open the store door that had been closed for a week, but a little shadow slipped in before him. Seeing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "This little thing misses home too!"

The store was still neat and kept in its original state a week ago. Xia Yu casually stroked his fingers across the table and chairs, then raised his hand and looked at it. His fingertips were clean and there was no trace of dust.

"Meow--"

Suddenly, a somewhat shrill call came from the second floor.

What's wrong?

Xia Yu's face changed slightly. He walked quickly across the store. When he passed by the open kitchen, he glanced at the kitchen through the glass window, and then was shocked as if struck by lightning.

chaos!

The cabinet doors were all opened, bottles and jars were either dropped on the kitchen counter or broken on the ground, and glass scraps were covered with ground.

The cat sound is on the second floor, is it also affected on the second floor?

He didn't bother changing his shoes, and rushed to the living room on the second floor.

Sure enough, the doors of the two bedrooms were opened wide, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and the sight was in a mess. Anywhere there were cabinets or places where things might be hidden were turned over.

"Break into the house?"

Xia Yu took a deep breath and took out his cell phone to call the police.

He didn't move anything, waved to the cat with his head raised and shouting, and carried the little thing downstairs.

After a while, the sirens rang out throughout the old shopping street.

Several police cars from the Taitung District Police Department were parked outside the door, and policemen in uniforms were in and out.

A middle-aged man in a coat bowed slightly to Ryoko Lina, then took out his pen and notebook and asked Xia Yu.

"Mr. Xia, our police officers have checked that your shop has not lost any valuables, computers, and laptops, so the possibility of 'stealing property' is temporarily ruled out..."

The middle-aged man said slowly, staring at Xia Yu, perhaps because of his nationality, and asked in particular: "Do you have any cash or jewelry losses?"

Xia Yu shook his head straight.

"I don't have the habit of storing cash at home. As for jewelry, there is no!"

"How is that..."

The middle-aged man hesitated.

Xia Yu didn't expect that this time he called the police, which alarmed a police department. This police department should be the third criminal lesson of the Taitung District Police Office to manage theft cases.

About half an hour later, the police officer searched the police department leading the team and summarized the situation.

"The suspect opened the lock from the side door and entered the house. We did not extract suspicious fingerprints from the door handle. Moreover, when searching for things indoors, the prisoner did not leave any hair or other evidence."

"I have retrieved the nearby surveillance video. Have you gained anything?" the middle-aged police department frowned.

"No, the street video shows that everything is normal."

Finally, several police cars left.

Xia Yu returned to the store and asked Ryoko Lina to help clean the kitchen together.

He lifted a large bag of garbage to the door, Ryoko Lina turned her back to the kitchen and asked, "Who do you think caused such a theft case?"

"It can only be said that it was an attempted theft, I didn't lose anything."

Xia Yu shrugged, as if he was calm, but in fact he was suppressing his anger in his heart.

Thinking about it all over the place.

Who else has offended the most ruthless person he has offended recently? Apart from the group of people in the "Food Club"?

But is the burglary of the "Food Society" trying to find something from his house? Wouldn't it be even better to vent anger and create an accident and burning house directly?

Contacting Tokyo Sanhu Construction Company, a subsidiary of the "Food Club", and in a large-scale acquisition of shops in the shopping street, Xia Yu vaguely felt that the "Food Club" was probably not willful and wealthy, but with some unknown intention.

"By the way!"

Slapping his forehead and watching Ryoko Lina lift a bag of garbage into the store. Xia Yu quickly turned around and looked at the large water tank in the corner of the kitchen.

The kitchen has been renovated and this thing is in the corner and is inconspicuous.

The water was very cold, so Xia Yu shivered.

"So cold-"

Soon, a smooth pebbles-like egg stone was found from the water tank, and Xia Yu looked relieved.

One of the incredible things in Xia’s restaurants cannot be thrown away.

"System, has this stone been identified?"

Beep.

The information pops up.
