Act 272: Amuro Private Detective Agency (2)
In the Amuro private detective agency, the three of them are chatting hotly. Talking about what had happened in the virtual game world before, Amuro stared straight at Glen Lewe's face, his lips slightly open, and he listened in fascination. I have forgotten the question of time.
When the sun shines through the window on the backs of the people, the sun rises three poles. I felt hungry, and it was time to eat.
Glenlevy knew his craft, so he spoke first: "Today, the detective agency opens, you should invite this lunch." But it's hard to reconcile, I don't know what you've got in store for us? ”
"You can rest assured." Amuro hooked the corners of his slender and good-looking mouth, and replied: "Even if you are picky about food, you can only surrender in front of the hot pot." I don't think you two mind, right? ”
Only this guy can think of the choice of this ingredient.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Glen Lewe's face, pursed his lips, and said arrogantly: "So, I don't know if there is anything I can do to help?" ”
The studio is slightly smaller than the Maori Detective Agency, and when you look up, you can see the ingredients already prepared by the stove.
He put one hand on his chin, stared and thought for a while, and muttered: "There is no shortage of meat and vegetables, but I seem to have forgotten to buy hot pot base, I wonder if you can help me go downstairs to buy a pack?" ”
"Oh, that's right." Gran Levi agreed without thinking about it, "I know, then you prepare first, and I'll be back soon." ”
He flicked his black trench coat back and slammed it over his arms. Then he straightened the placket and neckline, pressed the doorknob, and opened the door.
It wasn't until the cold wind he had brought with him as he walked gradually subsided that Toru Amuro withdrew his gaze from looking at the door, walked to the knife holder and took out a small, slender kitchen knife.
Each slice of pork he cuts is almost the same thin. Staring at the work in his hand, he said seemingly casually, "Can Hoshino-sama help me take out a piece of fat beef from the refrigerator?" ”
Hoshino Satsuki hadn't spoken since she entered the door, and this time she only responded with a stunned "um".
I don't know if it was to save space, the only refrigerator in this room placed a blue and white porcelain vase with an intricate pattern. Satsuki stopped in front of it and looked surprised for a while before opening the refrigerator door.
"Beef ......"
She flipped through the various types of lean meat wrapped in plastic wrap above the partition. Because I didn't have any cooking habits, I just took a piece of meat that I thought was like a fat cow.
"Isn't that it?" She finally retracted her head into the refrigerator and said with the piece of meat in one hand.
"Oh, yes. That's it. Amuro glanced at it faintly, and his tone was extremely calm.
Hearing that he had got it right, Gao Yue casually pushed the refrigerator door. Unexpectedly, after the muffled sound of the refrigerator door that was closed by the inertia of the magnet, the blue and white porcelain vase at the top began to crumble and fell directly to the ground.
"Bang-" This crisp sound made Satsuki suddenly stupid, and subconsciously looked at Amuro Toru.
Amuro's action of cutting through the meat suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned his head without saying a word.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Glancing at the wrinkles in his eyebrows, Gao Yue was at a loss: "How much is this vase, I will pay you." ”
"This is a vase left to me by my grandfather from the Yuan Dynasty in China!" Amuro's face immediately darkened, he squatted near the wreckage, picked up one of them, and said excitedly, "It's not a question of how much money you spend, but there won't be a second one in this vase at all!" ”
"I ...... I'm sorry. Gao Yue opened her mouth and stammered, her eyes trembling slightly. A frightened fawn: "Then what can I do to express my apologies." ”
Amuro was squatting on the ground with his back to Hoshino Satsuki at the moment, and she didn't know anything about the joy, anger and sorrow on his face. After hearing this, the corners of his mouth hooked a meaningless smile, but it was fleeting.
He straightened up and stood up, and after managing his expression, he turned around solemnly and said, "In that case, I want you to do me a favor and pass this vase." ”
"Is it that simple?" Gao Yue thought for a while and said, "Okay, if it's within my ability, I'll definitely help." ”
Toru Amuro has been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and he can't help but snicker in his heart.
"I heard that Miss Hoshino is working as an assistant to the sleeping detective, Mori Kogoro. For so long, I believe you have developed the basic abilities as a detective. "As he said this, he walked around Satsuki, pacing." And my new private detective agency is in need of manpower, so I want you to come and help me. ”
Although this is not a difficult thing for Gao Yue, she is uneasy in her heart: it is like a game arranged in advance, waiting for herself to jump in.
Who would have put such an expensive vase on the fridge?
But the matter has come to this point, and it is indeed because of his own reasons that he has broken other people's things, so he has no confidence to argue.
She compromised, "Well, I'll talk to Uncle Maori." ”
At this moment, the lock cylinder outside the door was opened, and Glenlevy walked in from outside the door with a white plastic bag in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the two people in front of the refrigerator door and smelled embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" He threw out a sentence lightly.
"Oh, that's right...... Amuro said first, "Miss Hoshino just broke my bronze vase. As compensation, I want her to resign from the Maori Detective Agency and come to my detective agency to help, I wonder what you think? ”
Anyway, the two are a couple in front of people, so Satsuki is still looking forward to him solving the siege for himself.
Glenlevy only caught a glimpse of the debris on the ground and knew what Amuro was thinking.
Judging from the fact that he had been tracking himself and Gao Yue before, he must have made a lot of preparations for today. In addition to the fragments of the vase on the floor, there were two peanut beans scattered around. How could a man as careful and clean as Toru Amuro make such a low-level mistake?
Just put these two peanut beans under the vase seat, and whoever closes the door of this magnetic refrigerator will shake the vase off. That's why I deliberately didn't buy the hot pot base and pushed myself apart.
In that case, the antiques that Amuro talks about are probably things that can be bought for a few hundred yen at a roadside stall.
If Glen Levi is right, Toru Amuro kept Hoshino Satsuki by his side in order to know his movements as soon as possible and grasp his weakness.
He thought for a while, and when he raised his eyes to look at Gao Yue, he stopped talking.
Even if Amuro finds out anything, he is not a threat to himself at all. Instead, he can take advantage of this opportunity to let him restrain Satsuki's actions and reduce the connection between her and Shuichi Akai.
So he replied lightly, "Then do it, after all, this vase is unique to Bourbon." ”
"Huh? Isn't it......"
Satsuki couldn't believe that Glen Levi would agree that he was connected to the people of the organization, and when he wanted to say something, the two of them had already laid out the table and had a long talk.
"The hot pot base I bought is a little spicy, I don't know if you can eat it?"
"I don't care, I can ......"
