Chapter 903 Surveillance Video (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

Just as they were told, Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano split into two groups. Miss Miyano went straight to the fast food section, while Sakaki Makoto came to the back door of the supermarket.

Because he lives in a scenic area and doesn't have to worry about passenger flow, Uncle Takeda did not choose chain supermarkets like 711 and FamilyMart. Instead, he set up his own business and opened a private supermarket.

Purchase channels, store management, product selection, quality control and even market research.

It all fell on him alone.

fortunately

Uncle Takeda used his connections to build the convenience store into a special supermarket unique to Hakone. In addition to the ubiquitous drinks, puffed food, cigarettes and other nationally unified foods, the convenience store is also a special supermarket.

Almost all other products sold in the convenience store are Hakone specialties, including handmade bread, sandwiches and other products made on the same day.

Sakaki also saw the name and introduction of Takeda Convenience Store in the travel brochure he received for free at the hotel.

Convenience store business is booming.

When Sakaki Makoto came to the back door, Uncle Takeda was unloading the drink box from the train with another young man. He had a sweat towel on his shoulders and was covered in sweat.

"Uncle Takeda!"

"Xiao Cheng?"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Uncle Takeda turned around and his eyes lit up:

"Why are you here?"

"I came here to take a look and help out."

Taking out the cigarette case, Sakaki took out a cigarette, then rolled up his sleeves, bent down and lifted a box:

"Uncle, please go inside and rest for a while."

"Hey, how can I let you do it!"

Uncle Takeda put the cigarette to his ear and said quickly:

"I'll come, I'll come."

"No, it's not much anyway."

When Sakaki Cheng arrived, half of the goods in the car had been moved, and the remaining dozens of boxes were completed in ten minutes by two people.

The last box was piled into the backstage warehouse. Uncle Takeda threw a bottle of energy drink and patted Sakaki's shoulder. The two sat on chairs outside the back door, facing the park.

"Your kid suddenly came to see me today. Is there something wrong?"

Those who open convenience stores have seen countless customers of all kinds and have long developed a pair of keen eyes. Uncle Takeda is no exception. He smiled and lit up his cigarette:

"Say it, don't be embarrassed."

"Um"

Straight to the point, Sakaki didn't hide anything:

"I want to see the surveillance video inside the store."

"Surveillance video?"

Uncle Takeda said doubtfully:

"What are you looking at that for?"

"A program crew came to Hakone yesterday. Uncle, you know that, right?"

"Of course I know. I heard that Yoko Okino is here too! I'm her fan!"

Speaking of this, the fatigue on Uncle Takeda's face disappeared. He first looked into the store and then said excitedly:

"I've been busy here and didn't have time to go there. Also, your aunt never lets me watch those young girls dancing, singing and twerking, but it suffocates me to death. Is there something wrong with the program team?"

".right."

Sakaki nodded dumbfounded:

"In the early hours of this morning, a thief broke into Miss Yoko's room."

"What?!"

With a tremor, Uncle Takeda stood up directly:

"Is Ms. Yoko okay? Has the thief been caught?"

"She was fine. After being discovered, the thief jumped out of the window and escaped."

"No wonder you came to my store to check the surveillance video."

Uncle Takeda suddenly realized:

"I received a report from the police station last night, saying that a habitual burglary criminal escaped to Hakone. Could it be him?"

"It's possible, but it's not certain yet."

"Well, I understand."

Throwing away the cigarette butt, Uncle Takeda said:

"Originally, the surveillance in the store cannot be shown to outsiders casually. After all, we have to protect the privacy of our customers, but..."

"If it was to catch a thief, the situation would be different."

"Follow me."

After saying that, Uncle Takeda stood up, opened the back door of the supermarket, and took Sakaki Makoto to the store manager's office.

“Our supermarket has 6 cameras, 4 in the shopping area, and 2 in the warehouse, 360° with no blind spots, absolutely safe!”

While proudly introducing the supermarket's protection system, Uncle Takeda entered the login password on the computer and called up the surveillance screen:

"Come, sit down and watch slowly."

Six square grids were arranged on the screen according to numbers. Miss Miyano appeared in surveillance area 3, staring blankly at a row of plum rice balls.

According to the date, Sakaki pulled up the surveillance video of August 23, which was the day, and directly dragged the timeline to 11 a.m., the time when the program team was free to move around.

After a brief lag in the slightly blurry picture, Miss Miyano disappeared and was replaced by a group of unfamiliar customers.

In order to save time, Sakaki turned on 2x speed playback, and the time bar in the upper right corner accelerated, and the picture suddenly began to look a little weird.

At 11:05, a group of tourist groups entered the supermarket and went shopping frantically. Nearly 20% of the goods on the shelves disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"These customers are very generous."

Seeing this scene, Uncle Takeda sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"They were probably going to take the afternoon bus back, so they bought a lot of snacks and drinks."

At 11:10, the tour group gradually left, and the supermarket welcomed another group of customers.

"Huh?"

Sakaki suddenly hit the space button, paused the video playback, pointed at a woman who had just walked through the door and said:

“Isn’t this Momoe Takenaka?”

"Yes, yes, it's her!"

Uncle Takeda also recognized the other party:

"She is the cleaning staff I saw at your door last time!"

With a frown, Makoto Sakaki adjusted the speed back to normal playback and continued to watch the video.

On the screen, after Baihui Takenaka walked into the supermarket, she looked around first, then walked to the freezer, took out an ice cream, and took a bottle of spring water from the shelf. Finally, she went to the fast food area, took two tuna rice balls, checked out and left.

The shelf where the rice balls were placed was facing the camera in the corner, so Makoto Sakaki could only see where she went, but could not see her body movements.

Makoto Sakaki glanced at Uncle Takeda faintly:

"360° without dead angle?"

"Ahem."

Uncle Takeda blushed and said awkwardly:

"It's enough. It's a waste of money."

Shaking his head, Makoto Sakaki continued to watch the video.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to 11:20. After 10 minutes, the rice balls on the shelf were sold out. The young man who had been seen at the back door came to the shelf with a box and put fresh rice balls on it.

"This stinky boy!"

For some reason, Uncle Takeda suddenly got angry when he saw this scene:

"Tuna rice balls should be placed on the left! Plum rice balls on the right! You are distracted again!"

"Is there any difference?"

Sakaki Makoto asked.

"I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. All the same products in the supermarket are arranged by color."

Uncle Takeda pointed to the surveillance video and said:

"The wrapping paper of tuna rice balls is red, and the plum rice balls are green. Wouldn't it look awkward if they are mixed together?"

"No."
