Chapter 187: Dinner
Chapter 187: Dinner
I'm a high school student detective Shinichi Kudo, and when I went to an amusement park with my childhood sweetheart Xiaolan, I witnessed the scene of the dark organization's transaction. At that time, I was only interested in peeking at the deal, but I ignored the other accomplice who came from behind, I was poisoned by that person, and when I woke up, my body was smaller! If they knew that Kudo Shinichi was still alive, not only would my life be at risk, but also my loved ones would be threatened. So I concealed my identity under Dr. Agasa's advice, and when Ran asked for my name, in a hurry, I assumed the name Conan Edogawa. In order to collect information about those guys, he lived in his father's Xiaolan's house as a detective, yes, it's this foolish uncle, but now he has become a detective, as for why, I believe everyone knows it, right?
This secret has to do with two props that Dr. Asasa invented for me, the watch tranquilizer gun, which can make people fall asleep instantly. The bow tie voice changer, which can be transformed into the voice of various people, with these two sharp weapons, I have helped my uncle solve countless cases, in addition to the foot strength enhancement shoes, which use electric current to stimulate acupuncture points, which can instantly increase the foot force several times, and when tracking prisoners, there is also a solar skateboard. Its built-in turbo engine can increase the speed to the point where it can be as fast as a car. Finally, there is a convenient thing, a telescopic suspender. As long as you press the button, you can make the sling retract and pull up hundreds of kilograms, which is very practical and convenient.
(Conan: You're water again? There's no free chapter this time.) Dian Niang closed the free chapter. οΌ
(Kaoru: Iconic words, you can't save it, who will let the little mother pit.) Anyway, your perspective, it's your fault)
(Conan: ...... You're ruthless. οΌ
Although the Man in Black is still a mystery, the case does not stop happening. A detective whose mind is as clear as it is when the body gets smaller, and who knows everything. There is only one truth!
βββββββββββ Detective Conan's Fourteenth Targetβββββββββββββ
"Kaoru, you've been absent-minded since just now. What are you thinking?" In the Aviation Museum, after a long wait, the Doctor finally arrived, and after arriving at the museum, the children began to admire the various airplanes. Conan and I were behind. Conan was here too many times as a kid, and I was because I had flown these planes too many times.
"Nothing. "I didn't give Conan a positive answer.
"Do you care what you said on the console just now?"
"Nope. I gave Conan a displeased look. "It's okay, don't keep trying to guess me. I don't have that many things that interest you. β
"Hey...... Angry?" Conan looked at me amusedly. "Looks like you're right. β
β...... I suddenly wanted to call Xiaolan and tell him about Shinichi Kudo. β
"Yes, I also wanted to call Aunt Eiri and tell him about Kaoru Maori's whereabouts. β
"Damn, when did Kudo learn so well. I looked at him with surprise.
"Hello to each other. Hahahaha. β
"Cut...... Hahaha. β
In a few simple words, Conan and I both laughed. It seems like I haven't laughed like this in a long time. In the past, I was dealing with strangers to members of the organization, but now, I am facing my childhood companions and friends.
"Eh, why are you two so happy? "From the sidelines admiring the plane of Mitsuhiko looks like us.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just remembering some interesting things about me and Kaoru before. Conan explained.
"Ahh Seems to be curious about our things, or about Conan.
"No, it's just that Conan did stupid things when he was a kid. Not to mention this, there seems to be something interesting in front of you. I digressed from the subject.
"Eh, is it?Wow~ It's a simulated helicopter pilot!" Motota seems to have discovered a new continent.
"Unfortunately, you can't do it until you're five years old. Conan picked up the manual beside him and said.
"Hey...... It's boring. Ayumi deflated.
"It's a shame, but I had a good time playing it when I was in the fifth grade. Conan whispered in my ear.
"yes, I was already throwing up in a real helicopter when I was ten years old. β
β......β
"In that case, let me tell you a story. The Doctor snapped his hands. "...... in Greek mythology"
"It's riddle time. Dr. Asasa was interrupted by Mitsuhiko as soon as he spoke. It may be that the doctor's story has to be heard for a long time, so the children are unwilling, so they come forward to interrupt. But it doesn't matter, Conan and I have diverged anyway. It doesn't matter what you say.
"On New Year's Day, April Fool's Day, children born on Children's Day meet together. What is that? Hint: It's an animal that can fly in the sky like an airplane. β
"Hey. As soon as Mitsuhiko finished speaking, he saw Conan smile softly. When I saw him, I knew there was an answer. Although I want to stop him and give the children this opportunity to use their brains, I think about it and let him be in the limelight. The kids got used to it anyway.
After playing all afternoon, in the evening, Conan and I went home, and when we walked into the house, we saw that Xiaolan had already changed into formal clothes early. And my dad was still wearing a tie slowly, with impatience written all over his face.
"Ahh Xiaolan saw us walk in, so she beckoned.
"Hmm. We're back. Conan responded. "Why isn't Uncle ready?"
"He played mahjong and didn't come back until now. Slowly, of course. Xiaolan said angrily.
"Really...... Why do you have to eat with Eiri? Dad complained while putting on his tie.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be verbose, hurry up and clean up. Xiaolan was dissatisfied. Seeing this, I also smiled lightly, and the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of my family came naturally.
"Today, the casino, located near Tokyo Bay, opened. Remember to visit Mr. Asahi Shengyi's home for an interview and bring you first-hand information. He was talking. A break on the TV caught Conan's attention, but the TV was quickly turned off by Ran as we had to change our clothes immediately. It's close to dinner with mom in the evening.
βββββββββββ Detective Conan's Fourteenth Targetβββββββββββββ
"Sorry, Mom, we're late. "We were at a western restaurant at about eight o'clock in the evening. As a result, Mom has been sitting in it for a long time. Seeing her mother, Xiaolan ran up to apologize as soon as possible, but her mother smiled very casually and said that it didn't matter, anyway, it must have been because her father played mahjong and delayed the time. I didn't say much about it. It's just that after saying hello, my mother walked over to me.
"Kaoru-chan, it's been a long time, are you okay?"
"Hmm...... Well, it's been a long time since I've seen Aunt Yingli. I said a little nervously. Sure enough, my mother is still suspicious of me, but I don't know where she is going to start digging up my information. "I'm fine, Auntie?"
"Hehe, Auntie is also very good. As she spoke, my mother reached out and touched my head. "Then, go in and sit, Auntie has already ordered food for you. β
"Hmm~"
Without further ado, our family of four plus Conan is like walking inside.
"Yo, isn't this Mr. Maori? It's been a long time. "Just took a step. A male voice came from the door. Looking back, I saw a man in a high-end suit walking in with two girls in his arms.
"Eh, isn't this Mr. Hiroki Tsuji?" Dad was surprised when he turned around and saw the visitor.
"Who's Maori?" a girl asked Mr. Tsuji.
"It's Detective Kogoro Mori. β
"Hey~ that's the detective. The two girls around Hiroki Tsuji were also excited to see the new celebrity. It made my father a little confused, but considering that there was still his family behind him, he hurriedly introduced it. β
"Ahem, Mr. Tsuji, may I introduce my family. As he spoke, Dad stretched out his hand to introduce Mr. Tsuji. "Neiren Yingli, and my daughter Xiaolan. There are also Kaoru and Conan, who are temporarily living in my house. β
"My surname is Tsuji. And Mr. Maori met on the golf course. Hiroki Tsuji talked to us generously.
"I remember next week is the day of the Mr. Tsuji Golf National Open, right?" Dad thought with his chin dragging his chin in mind.
"yes, I've been practicing for this tournament and I'm aiming for the top 10 this time. β
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it. Dad said politely.
"Well...... But once in a while, you need to relax. As he spoke, Hiroki Tsuji hugged the two girls he had just brought with a relaxed face. "So I'm going to take them on a good flight tomorrow. β
"Fly?" I wondered.
"In fact, Mr. Tsuji has his own private jet. There is also a pilot's license. Dad explained.
"By the way, there will be a flight next Sunday, so if it's convenient, you can come along. β
"Eh, really?" said Xiaolan excitedly.
"Well, that sounds pretty good. Mom smiled. "Kaoru is going?"
"Well, if everybody goes. I said lightly.
"Ah...... I guess forget it, I'm a little allergic to flying. Dad retreated. "So let's find a chance next time, aha, ahahaha. β
After a few words, we separated from Hiroki Tsuji, and although my father was disappointed, it didn't affect our eating together.
"Eh, Uncle seems to know the waiter who poured the wine?" Conan and Xiaolan whispered at the dinner table.
"Yes, that person's name is Mr. Sawaki, and my parents have known him since they were young. β
"Hey...... That's right. Conan stared at Sawaki. "What's that grape-shaped golden brooch?"
"That's the mark of a sommelier, and a sommelier is a person who, like Mr. Sawaki, selects and blends the most suitable type of sake for his guests. β
"What about the little saucer around your neck?"
"It's a tasting-tasting utensil. β
"Oh? You know that very well. Dad looked at Xiaolan in surprise with his hands on his hips, a girl would know so much about a sommelier.
"I've read Mr. Jen's book recently. For example, red wine is good to drink in a greenhouse, while white wine and rose wine are better to drink over ice. β
Indeed, most people think so. Hearing Xiaolan's words, the sommelier named Sawaki interjected at the right time. "But the temperature of the wine is still a matter of personal preference. "For light red wines, it tastes better chilled. This is because chilling inhibits the greenness of the wine. β
"But ah, I didn't expect Xiaolan to be at an age where she was interested in this kind of thing. Dad sighed.
"yes, that's proof we're starting to get old. Mom said.
"That's right. Hahahaha. Dad laughed, but the smile was quickly suppressed by a sadness. "It's a pity, if it weren't for Kaoru, maybe we'd be ...... now"
"It's in the past, so don't talk about it today. Mom was also choked up by Dad's words. Then he turned to look at me. "And ......"
Feeling my mother's gaze, for some reason, I suddenly choked up when I was originally calm today. I can be 100% sure that my mom is suspicious of my identity. But I ...... Forget it, don't mention it.
"Brother......" At the mention of me, Xiaolan's eyes dimmed a little, and then she shook her head and smiled reluctantly. "No...... It's rare that the atmosphere is so good today, and I can't spoil the atmosphere of this family date. "Dad, Mom, don't talk about that, let's hurry up and eat. Xiaolan salvaged some of the atmosphere.
"That's right, let's order then, Mr. Sawagi, thank you for your recommendation. Dad smiled a little sadly, and then said to Mr. Zeki.
"Where, where. Sawaki chuckled. "However, the two new children we met today are your children?"
"Well, it's not. Dad smiled awkwardly. "Those two children, Conan Edogawa and Kaoru Akiya, are temporarily living in my house. β
"Well, forgive my rudeness. As he spoke, Sawaki looked at us. However, he paused after making eye contact with me.
"Hmm, what's the matter?Mr. Sawaki?" I asked, sensing Sawaki's slightly puzzled gaze.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. It was my rudeness. Sawaki withdrew his gaze. "For some reason, I felt the urge to make you a glass of wine after seeing you. β
"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Sawaki, don't be kidding. Dad scratched his head in embarrassment. "Kaoru is still a child, how can he drink. β
"Hehe, indeed. It was my rudeness. Ssawaki thought about it for a moment and finally gave up.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Sawaki. Conan suddenly stopped Sawaki. "I'd like to ask Mr. Sawaki what kind of sake you would prepare for Kaoru if she were an adult. Seeing Conan's evil smile on his face, I couldn't help but shake my head, forget it, let him play. It's not a big deal anyway.
"Oh, this one...... " Sawaki thought as he cupped his chin. "Then allow me to answer Conan-kun's if. If it's for Kaoru-kun to choose a glass of wine......" As he spoke, Sawaki looked at me intently, and I looked at him with a hint of playfulness. Otherwise, it's just a hypothesis, let him talk about it.
"I think icewine is the best wine for Kaoru-kun. β
"Huh?"
"Huh?!" Conan and I let out a surprised voice at the same time. It's just that Zeki doesn't seem to be finished yet.
"However, although icewine is the most suitable type for Kaoru-kun, I don't think this is the kind of sake that Kaoru-kun often drinks. Well. Maybe...... No, forget it, I'm too serious. Hahaha. Sorry for making you laugh. Halfway through the conversation, Zemu suddenly fell silent, but neither his parents nor Xiaolan said anything. Just a joke passed by. After all, my body is only seven years old now.
"Well, let's not disturb your meal. Forgive me for missing the company first. After saying that, Sawaki respectfully stepped back, and a waiter next to him walked over with a menu.
"I'm sorry, I think I need a menu of Chinese cuisine. After getting the menu and ordering a few meals, my mother suddenly opened her mouth for some reason.
"Mom, we're here to eat Western food today. Xiaolan was surprised.
"It doesn't matter, the restaurant here still serves Chinese food. I don't know why, but I just suddenly want to eat. Mom, smiled. Then he turned to me and Conan. "Conan, Kaoru-chan. I don't mind if my aunt writes about Chinese cuisine, right?"
"Ah, of course Aunt Yingli. I nodded first, and Conan nodded along with me.
"So be it. Mom said. Then he whispered to the waiter and pointed out two dishes on the menu. After clicking it, he subconsciously glanced at me. I watched a thriller. And this scene just happened to fall in Conan's eyes, only to see Conan shake his head slightly. He frowned and sighed.
"Feeling...... Something is going to happen tonight. (To be continued.) )
