After finishing all the work, they still missed their off-duty time. It was already past six o'clock when they left. Miyamoto Yumi, who came to have a meal after getting the news, was already tired waiting downstairs.
"Congratulations, Miwako, now you have removed a piece of your heartache."
When Yumi Miyamoto saw several people coming out, she rushed forward and hugged Miwako Sato, feeling sincerely happy for her.
"Thanks to the Gumeimen Police Department, I still find it a bit incredible that the case that has troubled me for eighteen years was actually solved so smoothly." Sato Miwako smiled with bright eyes.
"I'm afraid you'll be worried about the food money for a while, but I'm very good at eating." Shizuo Komemon joked.
"Speaking of which, where is the treat that the Gumeimen Police Department agreed to treat?" Yumi Miyamoto asked with a wink.
"Definitely next time."
"Forget it next time. I finally caught you once. After we finish dinner, we will go to the izakaya for a drink. The Gumeimen Police Department will pay the bill."
Miyamoto Yumi looked like she couldn't believe it.
"Okay, okay, as long as you can still eat by then, it's no problem." Shizuo Komemon smiled and nodded in agreement.
The group did not drive because they would definitely have to drink today, so they took a taxi.
On the way, Shizuo Fumimon sent Ayako a message and briefly talked about the dinner party with colleagues tonight. Ayako seemed a little surprised, but expressed support for it.
After all, here in Japan, it is simply unimaginable for men not to go out to socialize after work and not keep in touch with colleagues.
Shizuo Komemon even comes home from get off work on time every day and rarely works overtime. In this regard, he is also an outlier among outliers.
Everyone arrived at Liushui Pavilion chatting and laughing. After entering, on the left side of the entrance is the front desk, and directly opposite is a very short red wooden bridge.
The meandering water flowing under the bridge surrounds the eight boxes built around the atrium.
"The unique feature here is this indoor water channel. When delivering food, the wooden boat sets off from the kitchen pier and stops automatically when it reaches the window of the room. It can be called the perfect combination of technology and classics~"
Miyamoto Yumi seems to be quite familiar with this place and introduced the features of Ryushui Pavilion to everyone.
Shizuo Komemon smacked his tongue slightly, it was indeed quite avant-garde. Even if this thing were to be used twenty years from now, it would still be a popular internet celebrity restaurant.
"Okay, it's seven o'clock soon. Go in and sit down first. Let Takagi stay here to order. If we don't serve food, we will starve to death."
Shizuo Komemon patted Takagi Wataru on the back and asked him to quickly confirm the reservation and order with the front desk.
There are a total of eight private rooms in Liushui Pavilion. There are three small private rooms on the right side of the atrium, two large and one small on the left, and two large and three small on the opposite side. The room names go from one to eight counterclockwise, but they don't have any elegance.
Komemon Shizuo and his party booked the large box No. 4, which happened to be in the right front corner.
However, I originally thought that there could be two windows in the corner to view the meandering water cup, but it turned out that there was only one side, which was a bit disappointing.
After sitting down, Takagi Wataru came back and talked about the dish he had just ordered, "The specialty here is puffer fish caviar."
Shizuo Komemon suddenly felt bad, "Fugu? Is it too dangerous for a new store like this to make this thing? I'm fine, mainly you, and then..."
It is too easy for homicides to occur.
"Ah? This should be no problem..." Takagi Wataru scratched his head, "This dish is the signature dish here."
Miyamoto Yumi immediately raised her hand, "Don't be so timid, Takagi, let's have one for each of us!"
"This thing is quite expensive. One portion per person seems a bit..." Takagi Wataru scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.
Miwako Sato smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We don't eat it every day. Today is indeed worth a big meal. Just enjoy it."
"If it weren't for the fact that this thing is not suitable for eating too much at one time, I would have planned to eat it up and go bankrupt. Otherwise, I would be sorry for all the brain cells I spent today."
Komemon Shizuo joked, not wanting to spoil the fun anymore, at most he would try the poison first.
"I think you have suffered from financial constraints before, so you just want to see me in the same embarrassment." Sato Miwako rolled her eyelids angrily.
While we were chatting, the dishes were being served one after another. It was a rare gathering for a meal, and everyone was enjoying themselves. The scenery was really good, and the water in the Qingshui River was also very clean and clear, not as dirty as some Internet celebrity restaurants.
"You guys, are you still a man? You drink fruit wine that only girls drink. It's outrageous!"
Miyamoto Yumi, who poured herself a glass of soju, looked at Furumon Shizuo with disdain.
"Are you sure you want me to drink soju?" Shizuo Komemon glanced sideways at her, "If I get drunk, this store will close down."
"..." A drunk Gomera suddenly appeared in Miyamoto Yumi's mind, and just thinking about it made people shudder.
She cleared her throat, "Ahem, pretend I didn't say anything, please continue."
The crowd burst into laughter.
By eight o'clock, everyone was satisfied, and Yumi Miyamoto was already making noises about going to the izakaya, when suddenly a scream came from outside.
Shizuo Komemon put down his chopsticks calmly, "Okay, it's expected. It's unusual not to encounter a case when you go out to play. Get up and prepare to work overtime."
Everyone smiled helplessly for a moment, but didn't complain much.
As soon as Miwako Sato stood up, she began to stagger and became a little unsteady. Seeing this, Shizuo Furumemon said to Yumi Miyamoto:
"You and her can continue to rest here. By the way, call Chiba and I'll take Shiratori and Takagi to deal with it. It will be done soon."
After leaving the box, he saw a bunch of people standing in the atrium looking towards box number eight. Shizuo Komemon followed everyone's gaze and found a familiar figure - Mao Lilan.
"It seems Detective Mori is here, so it's easier now." Shizuo Komemon and Shiratori said.
Shiratori Rensaburo shook his head, "That gross profit elimination method can't always be error-free, right?"
"You'll know after you try it." Shizuo Komemon chuckled.
Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Rensaburo were assigned to maintain order at the scene, while Komemon Shizuo walked directly towards the crime scene.
"Huh? Gumeimen Police Department, why are you here?" Mao Lilan looked surprised after seeing him.
"Dinner party." After finishing Shizuo Komemon's words, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Lan Sang, don't you think something is wrong? You just encountered a case last night, and you encountered it again today."
"It's a bit too frequent..." Mao Lilan tilted her head and smiled bitterly, "But when it comes to the Gumeimen Police Department, you are the same, right? Sonoko told me about Izu."
"..."
Shizuo Komemon didn't know how to refute for a while. Indeed, Conan and others did not go to Izu, but a case still happened, and everyone was talking to each other.
"Forget it, let's deal with the case first. We need to confirm the suspect first." Shizuo Komemon held on to the door frame and looked into the room.
"Detective Maori, please work with the Shiratori Police Department to maintain order, collect eyewitness testimonies, and identify people related to the case."
