第 55 集: 花村尋求在車禍後贈送米果的神秘救援者。

55

Hanamura and her friend are returning from a ski trip when their car slides off the road and ends up stuck in snow. A passing driver stops and pulls them back onto the road, and before leaving, gives Hanamura a bag of senbei rice crackers. Hanamura tells of her adventure at the office and claims that when she saw her rescuer it was "love at first sight" but the man never told her his name. The office staff thinks the senbei Hanamura brought are uncommonly tasty and Kurita and Tabata suggest finding the store that sells them might help in tracking the man down. However, wherever they look, they can't find a place that sells this kind of senbei. Yamaoka thinks the soy sauce the senbei are flavored with is not mass-produced but made by a small traditional brewery. He contacts a soy sauce maker called Kimura-ya in Gobō. They sold their sauce to a store in Asakusa and when Hanamura goes there, the proprietor, called Mitani, is the man she was looking for. (Source: Wikipedia)
