so after the scene where Daisuke threw his cigar away, and grinned. “To find a good match.”, i forgot to mark the scene where Daisuke already met the 4th suspect. sorry about that!
“No. I didn’t notice it. I did something wrong.” After saying that loudly, Daisuke also whispered to Sakamoto. “I don’t bet money for something so careless. So apologies, I’ll have some sake.”
“Oh, sorry.” Sakamoto slovenly grinned. “But this is a member-only club."
Sakamoto rounded his eyes as he looked around the luxurious interior of the elegant and quiet club he came with Daisuke. "And the club has very strict rules when it comes to memberships.” As expected of a bartender, Sakamoto slightly mumbled. “I’m in this kind of business too.”
“How?” Daisuke asked with a face pretending not to know, while about to take a sip of brandy soda. “You also run something like this?”
“No, not something as fancy as this.” Sakamoto cleared his throat, stared and immediately changed to an expression that looks like he’s challenging Daisuke. “I’ll definitely have a store like this one day. Ah. I’m sure of it.” He took a gulp of brandy. “I’ll also have a billiard table in my store. Like a foreign club.” Sakamoto continued to speak as if it’s already the alcohol that’s being talkative. “At a billiard place, you can’t just have a glass in one hand. The police are troublesome.”
“There’s a way to do it right now.” Daisuke said. “You can just come to my house. There’s a home bar inside our ball (billiard) room. You can make your favorite liquor and drink while playing games.”

“It looks like Hatano’s in your house.” Detective Tsuruoka told Daisuke when he returned to the investigation headquarters. “Is he still obsessed with inventing new toys?”
“It seems like going well.” Daisuke nodded. “The reason he comes up recently is he have a patent application.”
“Hm,” In his seat, Detective Kojima made a hateful note. “So what do you know? Just investing money to him invent is not enough for an investigation.”
“Other than that,” Daisuke said in a relaxed tone. “He seems to have fallen in love with my father’s beautiful secretary.”
“I can’t help but understand that.” Detective Nunobiki overtly sneered.
“I was invited to go to Hatano’s house.” Tsuruoka said. “I wonder if the paint can was still in his lab.”
“I haven’t seen it.” Daisuke shook his head. “I’m sure he has already used it to paint his some inventions.”
“Wasn’t it used for the crime?” Tsuruoka rebuked. “Then, you’re saying Hatano is not the culprit?” After hesitating a little, Daisuke nodded. “Yes.”
“I think (Tsuruoka) Izuku-san’s conclusion is better,” said Captain Fukuyama.
“On the contrary. Kambe seems to think that Suda is not the culprit, either. ” Nunobiki told Fukayama and asked Daisuke, “You took him last Sunday to your house. On the contrary, have you finally been liked by your Oden shop relatives?”
“Why do you think Suda isn’t the culprit?” Captain Fukuyama frowned. “It seems a little early to judge.”
“No, not until the time we know who’s the criminal.” Daisuke rushed. “However, he seems to be a man with a strong sense of justice.”
“Also, what did you found out?” Fukuyama looked at Daisuke like he’s seeking for help.
“Oh, besides that, he apparently also like my father’s secretary.”
“Did he fell in love?” Kojima smiled. “That’s trouble. What do you do to make the suspects fall in love with your father’s secretary? Hayakawa seems to go to your home’s clay shooting range often, but to think even Hayakawa will fall in love with her?”
“Hayakawa really hates losing, so I haven’t said anything to him so far but he’s showing that he seems to fall in love.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Fukuyama began to draw infinity symbols with his finger on the desk, even more frustrated. “Is there any way to get them spend money?”
“That’s it for now.” Daisuke scratched the his head. “There’s only two months left.” Fukuyama groaned.
Saruwatari is back. “I heard that Sakamoto caught a millionaire patron at his bar.” he laughed. “I’m going to have Mr. Kambe give me some money and have my own store.” Daisuke tilted his head in confusion.“But he’s just talking to me like he already has his own store.”
“Erm. Having said that, that would be suspicious.” Saruwatari is glancing at Fukuyama who deliberately stayed alone.
“Wouldn’t it be an excuse to have your own store with the robbed 500 million yen?” Tsuruoka asked Daisuke a speculative question.
“Kambe-kun, The name of your father’s secretary, uhm”
“It’s Suzue. Hamada Suzue.”
“So I wonder if Sakamoto is also in love with Suzue?”
“Ah. That man is also a womanizer. Anyone can see it in his eyes.” Daisuke laughed. “Of course to Suzue-san. Especially since he thinks she’s a daughter of an upper class family. I think for him it’s intriguing.”
“Well,” Tsuruoka turned to Daisuke after thinking again. “All four of them could use it to make Suzue-san fall in love. It’s a way Cap said earlier to make them spend money.”
“That’s right,” Daisuke striked his lap and stood up. “I have a good idea.”
OK. EVERYONE FALLS FOR SUZUE! LOL. Part 9 by Sunday/Monday.
