I rely on cooking to dominate the ghost killing team

The Suzuhara Wine Shop, which has been open for more than ten years in this small town, is a wine shop that only opens at night.Before dawn, the proprietress will close the store and invite the drunk customers out of the store with a smile.

Because the wine at Suzuhara Restaurant is really delicious, the guests who are greedy for the aroma of the wine also acquiesce to this unwritten rule, and only disturb Suzuhara Restaurant at night.

The Suzuhara Winery in the past was not like this.At that time, the old lady of the Suzuhara family was still in charge of the store, and the store was open during the day, and it was often open all day long.

Now that the old lady has passed away, the Suzuhara Restaurant is run by the daughter-in-law alone—that is, the woman Giyuu and Wuyue met.

She came out from behind the counter, holding the account book in her hand, smiling slightly, but she was kind.

"Is this the first time you two have come to my restaurant?"

Her tone of voice was soft when she spoke, and she didn't have any very dangerous aura on her body - but even if there was, Wuyue probably wouldn't be able to feel it.

Because May doesn't have any very sensitive intuition.

"Yes." Yi Yong answered.

The proprietress of Suzuhara Restaurant still had a smile on her lips, and she led the two of them to sit at a square table in the corner.

The small shop was filled with the smell of alcohol, and the drunken customers shouted and shouted from time to time, which made Wuyue feel extremely uncomfortable.She shrunk subconsciously and moved closer to Yi Yong.

The staggering drunk passed through the narrow gap between the wine tables and slammed into May, startling her.

"Mr. Canahara, why did you drink too much tonight?" The proprietress gently pulled the drunk man aside, "Are you going to go back now?"

The drunk man let out a long belch, laughed a few times, and said inarticulately, "Little Suzuhara, I'll come over for a drink tomorrow!"

"Okay. I will definitely keep the best wine for you." She smiled, turned her head to Wuyue and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kurahara is such a reckless person. Have you been hit ?”

May shook her head in a daze, but didn't answer.

"I guess you're not very old?" She said with a friendly tone, "then try the plum bar, a small glass is fine, you won't get drunk. But don't always come to drink in the future ——The place of the wine shop is somewhat messy. Even my family's wine shop is the same. "

When she said the last sentence, she deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was only whispering to Wu Yue.

May [-]st was a little dazed, and sat down at the table in a daze.

Wine was served promptly.

Small celadon wine cups, one is purple plum wine, the other is clear and transparent sake.

But May doesn't care about plum wine, let alone sake.She turned her head quietly, and looked at the proprietress of Suzuhara Restaurant.

The woman called "Xiao Suzuhara" by the drinkers looks young, about 30 years old, and always has a smile on her mouth, which is very popular with the drinkers.

Even though she was wearing a complicated and heavy Furisode kimono, Xiao Suzuhara was still able to shuttle between the drinkers briskly, with ease in every step.

Xiao Suzuhara noticed May's gaze, smiled at her, and sat down behind the counter again.Covered by the counter, Wuyue could only see her bun.

She looked away.

"She doesn't look like a ghost..." She said to Yi Yong in a low voice, "Could we have found the wrong one?"

"A ghost won't tell you it's a ghost."

When Yiyong said this, Wu Yue understood.

She knew that this was the truth, but subconsciously she still didn't think that Xiao Ling would be a ghost.

...because she looks so sweet.

But friendly ghosts also exist.she thinks.

Use kindness as a mask to cover up all hunger and hysteria - ghosts can also be such creatures.

May's heart seems to be sinking gradually, uncontrollably.She tapped the edge of the wine cup lightly with her fingertips, creating circles of water waves.Giyuu's wine cup is empty, maybe she should drink it too...

……Wait a moment!

She pushed the wine in front of Giyuu.

"Mr. Yiyong, can you please drink this glass of wine for me?"

"why?"

Under the righteous and doubtful eyes, Wuyue looked righteous and awe-inspiring: "I'm not yet of age - minors are not allowed to drink alcohol!"

In fact, it's okay to drink, and it is estimated that no policeman will suddenly rush out and throw her into the police station under the name of "underage alcoholism".

But no!May, who aspires to become a good citizen, will never break the rules she sticks to in her heart for such a small glass of plum wine!

"Oh--"

So this is ah.

Giyuu nodded suddenly.That being the case, it is indeed necessary for him to help Wuyue solve the problem of plum wine—even though he doesn't want to drink it much anymore.

He picked up the teacup and drank the wine in one gulp.The sweet and sour plum wine does not have the thrill of alcohol rushing to the head instantly.

However, Yiyong really didn't like the taste of wine very much, and his consciousness was a little confused by the stimulation of alcohol.He sat silently, waiting for his consciousness to become clear again.

May, who was on the side, held his head and stared at Yiyong for a long time.

I don't know why, Wuyue always feels that Yiyong's movements of drinking and drinking milk tea overlap.

That's right, it's the feeling of being stuffy, it's exactly the same!

...Could it be that in Mr. Yiyong's heart, drinking milk tea and drinking alcohol are on the same level?

The mood in May is a bit complicated.

"Okay, let's go."

Yiyong stood up and wobbled a little, but quickly stabilized himself.May also stopped thinking about other things, obediently followed behind Yiyong.

When she stepped out of the shop, May heard Xiao Suzuhara say goodbye to her.But by that time she had already reached the street, and it seemed too slow to respond, so she pretended not to hear and continued walking.

After leaving the restaurant, they went straight to the police station.

The police station here has received favors from the Ubuyashiki family in the past.Originally, when I heard that they wanted to browse the case records in recent years, the police chief was full of displeasure and wanted to throw them out, but when Giyuu took out the handwritten letter written by his lord, Yuya Miyayashiki, the police chief immediately changed his mind. He changed his attitude and put on a flattering smile, as if he regarded them as guests.

The contrast of attitudes before and after was too stark, which made May want to laugh out loud, but fortunately she held back in time.

"A lot of people died this year." The sheriff's tone seemed to be complaining. "This year is not over yet, and the number of people who died is more than twice that of last year. There are still many people missing, alas... ..."

"Hmm... many people in Suzuhara's family..."

Wuyue pulled out all the records related to Suzuhara's family, and found that not only the death file, but also a record of reporting the crime was sandwiched in it.

But the record of this report is not complete, it seems that only a few sentences were written casually, and then thrown into it.The content of the text is also intermittent, and the semantics are unclear, even Wu Yue can't understand it.

"The Suzuhara family?"

Hearing what May said, the sheriff began to mutter.

"This year's family is miserable. Just after the new year, the old lady fell into the river. When she was fished out, most of her body was eaten by fish. The old lady's only son was also eaten by wild animals on the mountain within a few days. There is only a skeleton left."

Yiyong and Wuyue were silent.The sheriff, not realizing what their silence meant, continued to babble.

"My mother-in-law and her husband are both dead, leaving Xiaolingyuan as a daughter-in-law and her only child. But I heard that even Xiaolingyuan's daughter has disappeared recently. Alas! What do you think is this!"

"'Gone'?" The word was used very delicately, which made Yi Yong feel a little strange, "Is it dead, or..."

"I don't know about that." The sheriff spread his hands, "The little girl used to be up and down every day, but she hasn't come out these few days. Whether it is day or night, she doesn't see anyone at all. Everyone guesses that the little girl He died too, Xiao Lingyuan was afraid of affecting his own restaurant, so he deliberately didn't tell everyone."

When narrating the affairs of Suzuhara's family, the sheriff's tone always had an airy feeling as if it had nothing to do with him, which made Wuyue feel uncomfortable.

The sheriff seemed to have finished talking about the dead.Before he could say anything else, Wu Yue immediately stepped in and put the incomplete case record in front of the sheriff.

"What is this? I saw Suzuhara's surname written on it." She pointed to the ink on it, "There are also words like 'beaten by her husband'. Do you have any impression of this?"

The sheriff leaned over, squinted his eyes, and stared at the contents of the paper for a long time, then he let out a clear "Oh", and fell back into the chair, the fat on his stomach was pressed out. gully.

"It's about this year. At the beginning of the new year, Xiao Lingyuan came to the police station to report the crime, with a bruised nose and a swollen face. She said that her husband had been beating her for more than ten years. She couldn't take it anymore, so she asked us. Can you help me?"

May stood up abruptly.

"Did you help her?"

She was so excited suddenly that the sheriff was startled.He rubbed his stomach uncomfortably, and said, "What can we help? Isn't this a family matter of Suzuhara's family. Besides, Xiao Suzuhara will be beaten by her husband, she must have done something wrong." Besides, it’s not a matter of course to be beaten for doing something wrong..."

Hearing this, May was dumbfounded.She felt that her three views had been greatly challenged, and her whole sanity was about to collapse completely.

"What kind of righteousness is this? Is there something wrong with your thinking?"

She yelled and banged the table.

She obviously didn't drink a drop of wine, but she seemed to be more outspoken than when she was drinking.

The sheriff was a little flustered by her stare, and mumbled a few words, but they were all words to defend himself.

He didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with him.This can't help but make Wuyue even more annoyed. She wanted to say something more, but was grabbed by Yiyong.

"We say goodbye."

After leaving this sentence, Yiyong took May and left, no matter how the police chief chased after him and said some things like treating guests to dinner, he didn't look back.

But even after walking away, May is still resentful.

"That sheriff..."

Yoshiyuki interrupted her: "There's no need to spend too much time with that guy who doesn't understand. We know how stupid he is, and that's enough."

"……it is good."

Very helpless, but there is really no way to change it.In fact, Wu Yue knew very well in her heart that it was absolutely impossible for that kind of stubborn guy to change the stereotype in his heart just because of a few simple words of his own.

"Hey...where are we going next, Mr. Giyong?"

The hustle and bustle tonight is not over yet, and the streets are still crowded with pedestrians.Yiyong was basically sure that Xiao Suzuhara was the evil spirit entrenched in this small town, but there were still so many drinkers in the Suzuhara Winery, so he couldn't rush there rashly for the time being.

"Wait till dawn breaks?" May asked.

Giyuu nodded.

"Let's ambush near the Suzuhara Winery for the time being."

"Understood!"

In front of the wine shop, I found a small corner that would not be noticed and hid.She should have been concentrating on the movement in the restaurant, but Wu Yue's attention was all attracted by a middle-aged man with odd-colored pupils walking past her.

That eye color is too cool.She thought secretly.

And he also noticed May.

As if frightened, he jumped up unexpectedly, then walked quickly a few steps, walked around in front of Wu Yue, stared at her up and down, his cat-like pupils narrowed sharply.

"Oh... oh oh oh oh?"

He grabbed May's sleeve and shouted in surprise.

"Takine Wuyue, shouldn't you be studying in Qingyuan, why did you come here!"
