Did I fall off the horse with Touzi today?

"Mr. Amuro, the guests at table three would like two ham sandwiches."

"Ok."

Amuro Toru, who completed the infiltration and search work, returned to the Polo Coffee Shop today after two days to start a day in the life of Amuro Toru, a coffee shop clerk.

The aroma of hot brewed coffee lingers around the side of the coffee machine, and the ingredients for the sandwiches ordered by the guests are placed on the countertop——

Cheap bread after discount, cheap ham that lacks fat, and the most common lettuce and various prepared seasonings.Amuro Toru's original ham sandwich has already become one of the signature features of Poirot Coffee Shop. During the time when Amuro Toru came to Poirot to work, he has made many of them.

But even though he has already mastered all the steps by heart, Toru Amuro still does every step as seriously as he did when he tried to make it for the first time at home.

It's as if it's dealing with a case.

It is indeed a case.

"It's a case..."

"what?"

The voice that suddenly appeared in the ear caused Amuro Toru, who was obsessed with restoring the case while making a sandwich, to subconsciously show a dazed reaction.After all, Miss Azusa's words just now were exactly the same as the question she was thinking in her heart, making Amuro think that she accidentally said the question in her heart.

After all, that question had been stuck in his mind for several days.

The matter started from the second morning when he sneaked into the banquet.

After dating for so long, this is actually the first time he slept with his girlfriend.Although Nana had been tossing and turning the night before, and fell asleep in his arms after tossing for a long time, Nana was very quiet after falling asleep, neither talking cute dreams nor kicking the quilt, and fell asleep peacefully When it was dawn, he didn't even notice that he got up.

With such a confused and dull girlfriend, Toru Amuro has been worried that she will be bullied in the workplace.

After washing up, Toru Amuro borrowed the key that Nana had dropped on the coffee table in the living room the night before to go out and buy some ingredients. By the way, he went to a nearby convenience store and bought her an ointment for mouth ulcers.

Although Nana didn't say anything the day before and ate all the dinner he made, Toru Amuro still noticed his girlfriend's uncomfortable expression from time to time when she was chewing.

Recalling that when Nana first dated her, she mentioned that she often suffered from oral ulcers, Toru Amuro immediately guessed what was going on.

Actually everything has been fine so far.

The problem is, when he returned to Nana's house, he found a pair of leather shoes in the entrance.

A pair of men's leather shoes.

When he was brought back by Nana the night before, it wasn't that he didn't see these shoes. Although he was puzzled at the time, because some women who live alone usually put men's shoes at the door in order to prevent harassment and protect their own safety. Shoes, and some clothes of the opposite sex were mixed in when the clothes were drying, so he didn't feel anything.

I even feel that Nana's sense of self-protection is very good.

But later he found the man's razor and shaving water in the bathroom, the long bright orange hair that does not belong to Shane, the ingredients that Nana doesn't like to eat in the refrigerator, and other details of this family told Amuro Toru this fact ——

The shoes at the door may not be a blindfold.

The person who shares the rent with Nana is most likely a man.

Although this didn't explain anything, Toru Amuro felt slightly sour when he discovered this.

He somewhat forgot what state he was in when he wrote the message on the tissue that day; he also forgot what kind of mood he was in when he kissed Nana's forehead who was still sleeping before leaving Nana's house.

For the next two days, he was busy dealing with the case of "Se Yui" and Jungle between the police and the organization, trying not to think about what he found at Nana's house that day.

But today, when he returned to work at the Poirot Coffee Shop as Toru Amuro, the relatively leisurely and relaxed daily life made Toru Amuro have to think about the relationship between his girlfriend and the man who lived with her.

Azusa Enomoto, who mentioned the word "case" just now, is standing beside him at this moment, looking solemnly at the ingredients in the freezer.

Toru Amuro woke up from the memories for a while, raised his smile as "Toru Amuro" again, and asked his colleagues if they were in any trouble, "Did something happen, Miss Azusa?"

"I can't find ice cream."

Azusa Enomoto raised her head and looked at Toru Amuro very troubled, "Does Mr. Amuro know where it is?"

"Maybe it's all used up. The weather has gotten warmer these two days. There are a lot more customers ordering ice cream for dessert after cooking. Has anyone ordered ice cream?"

Miss Xiao Zi lowered her head and nodded, "I didn't expect the ice cream to be consumed so quickly recently. The guest at table four ordered ice cream balls just now."

"Then I'll buy it. It just so happens that the sandwich ordered by the guest at table three is ready," Amuro Toru said while assembling the sandwich in his hand and carefully cutting it in half with a bread knife.

"I'll trouble Miss Azusa for the plate, do you need anything else besides ice cream?"

"Orange juice and milk don't seem to be much, and I need some eggs." Miss Azusa checked the refrigerator and freezer, and told Amuro Toru the missing ingredients, "Because the guests at table four ordered ice cream, so Mr. Amuro, go to the nearby supermarket to buy."

Although the nearby large supermarkets are very cheap, most of the customers who go there are shoppers who go to buy goods. Everyone fills their shopping carts to the brim, so even if the line does not look long, the line will take a long time. .

If it is usually the first choice to buy goods there, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up at this moment.

Toru Amuro took off his apron, picked up his coat, and nodded at Azusa Enoki with a smile, "I see."

Before coming to work at Polo Coffee Shop, Toru Amuro had already explored all the nearby stores and routes, especially as a coffee shop employee often needs to go to the supermarket to replenish goods, so Toru Amuro has always paid attention to the discount time of the surrounding supermarkets. Have a certain understanding.

Quickly filtering out the supermarkets with discounts and peaks at this time in his mind, Toru Amuro turned and walked towards a supermarket in [-]-chome.

[-]-chome is a little closer to the commercial area, and there are occasional supermarket discounts at this time, but the housewives who aim for discounted products and fight for their lives in the supermarket are not keen to come here to fight.

Because usually the target customers of this supermarket, whose prices are slightly higher than other supermarkets and which focuses on organic food, are white-collar workers who go home to cook after get off work.

In other words, there are very few customers in this supermarket at this point in time!

After getting the task of "going out to buy", Toru Amuro, who immediately sorted out the most effective solution, rushed to the organic food supermarket. As expected, he saw that the supermarket was almost empty and there were not many customers.

Amuro walked to the refrigerated area in a familiar way, and picked out eggs and milk.

"So what do you think about this?"

"Tch, your handling method is still so troublesome, if you want me to say it directly..."

"It's Chuya, your method is too rough!"

Familiar voices and names that seemed to have been heard sounded far behind him. Amuro, who had just picked up the milk, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking towards the cashier.

The slightly taller person should be a woman in terms of body shape, but unfortunately she was wearing a thick coat and hat, and Toru Amuro couldn't see her appearance and hair color clearly.

On the contrary, the young man who was slightly shorter, about 1.6 meters tall, had bright orange hair under the very familiar top hat, and Toru Amuro instantly recalled the scene he saw at the banquet that day.

He suddenly remembered that the red-haired woman in kimono who greeted his girlfriend that day also mentioned that name——

"Zhongye".

That was the name of Shana's companion at the dinner party, and Toru Amuro remembered that man who was also about 1.6 meters tall and also had long bright orange hair.

And the few long hairs he found in the bathroom of Xia Nai's house...

It's also bright orange.

Various fragmentary clues have pieced together a relatively complete truth.

Although Toru Amuro doesn't know what the relationship between Shana and that "Chuya" is, but Shana's partner that night is her cohabitant, so it should be a certainty.

Totally lost the thought of comparing the milk in front of him which was more cost-effective, Toru Amuro quickly put the things needed in the store into the basket one by one, and quickly followed.

It's a pity that when he came to the cashier, those two people had already settled the bill.

The petite man held a full paper bag in his hand, looking very relaxed, while the woman next to him in a thick coat only held a bottle of drink in her hand. She seemed to look at the time, and then pulled The man's sleeves went to the elevator.

Even the small movements are very similar to Nana.

Toru Amuro's thoughts were all on the two people who had already walked up the escalator. He was wondering whether he could catch up with them now, when he heard the cashier's sweet voice, "The total is 5719 yen. May I ask you what you need?" Receipt?"

"sorry to bother you."

……

Nakahara Chuya and Shana went straight to the parking lot after paying out the check at the supermarket. The stuffed shopping bag, which seemed heavy at first glance, was stuffed into the trunk by Chuya, while Shane held onto Chuya and stuffed it for her. Hot coffee directly sat on the co-pilot, and took off the hat on his head by the way.

The weather has gotten warmer recently, but Shane still can't stand the cold.

Zhong also closed the door when he returned to the car after putting away his things, and looked at Xia Nai while fastening his seat belt, "Okay, let's go."

Xia Nai, who was sipping black coffee, put down the drink in her hand. She nodded and looked at the coffee packaging. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the rice cake and red bean soup that her boyfriend handed her that night.

"It seems that sweet ones are also good?" she murmured.

Zhong Yuan, who had just stepped on the accelerator, almost drove the car against the wall after hearing this, "Huh? What did you say?"

He glanced at the black coffee in Xia Nai's hand, showing a frightened expression.

Isn't Shane the ultimate black coffee party?

Ever since she started drinking coffee, Xia Nai has basically insisted that "coffee with milk and sugar is a coffee without a soul", so why did she suddenly start changing her taste now?

However, Xia Nai did not answer Zhong Ye, she glanced out of the window, and then suddenly let out another low cry.

"--what?!"

"What's wrong this time?"

Casually asked Shana who didn't know why she suddenly became startled, and Nakaya didn't expect an answer at first.But when he found that Shana really didn't answer anything, Chuya couldn't help but glance at the people around him.

So he saw the scene where Xia Nai seemed to have discovered something, and looked out of the car window.

And the direction she was looking at seemed to be the supermarket they went shopping just now.

"I just...seemed to see my boyfriend."

Zhong Ye:? ? ?

What's the situation?

Xia Nai retracted her gaze, tilted her head and recalled the flashing shadow.She didn't give up, and took advantage of the red light to look in that direction again. Unfortunately, no matter how she looked this time, she couldn't find her boyfriend.

Zhong also didn't think such a coincidence could really happen, "Maybe it's a foreigner who looks similar, or someone with dyed blond hair?"

Although he had never seen a picture of Shana's boyfriend, he still heard Shana mention what her boyfriend looked like.

Xia Nai tilted her head and thought for a while, "Maybe...but I really think that's my boyfriend."

"You miss him, don't you?"

Chuya only thinks that Shana is still resenting what happened that night. It is said that after that day, Shana and her boyfriend seem to have no time to make phone calls except for a few text messages.

I don't know if these two people will finally lose their temper after dating for so long, or if they are really too busy to have time.

"I really miss him a little bit."

Xia Nai sighed, but compared to the loss of "today is still the day I didn't see my boyfriend", she was more at a loss.

"But I always feel that there is something wrong with Tou-jun and I's recent situation, as if..."

She thought for a long time before she found a suitable description, "It's like an untimely strand of hair appeared in our relationship."

Zhong Ye:? ? ? ?

No, what description is this again? ? ?

……

Toru Amuro didn't know about the conversation between Natsuna and Chuya.

When he finished the bill in a hurry and rushed upstairs with the paper bag full of heavy objects, the two people were nowhere to be seen.

"never mind……"

Holding the milk and orange juice in his hand, Toru Amuro whispered comforting words, "It may also be someone with a similar back. Nana should still be in Yokohama..."

The words of self-comfort stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.

A silver-blue antique car passed in front of him, and the familiar Yokohama license plate, rare color, and even rarer model almost confirmed the identity of the owner.

That's Shane's car.
