Chapter 3: Character
The girl is called Quantum, Akagi Quantum.
At least that's what she said herself.
Anyway, it's just called quantum.
Quantum is a fan of Kudo Shinichi, because of his identity as a detective, he thinks it is very powerful.
And today, she encountered an incident, a little child she knew, who was kidnapped.
She didn't have much to do on her own, and calling the police wouldn't work, so she thought of Shinichi Kudo and wanted this detective to help her get the kidnapped little boy back.
But Shinichi Kudo hasn't heard much these days, and she doesn't know where to look.
So I came here, because I heard that Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan were childhood sweethearts.
Originally, I was going to go to the detective agency to ask Mori Kogoro for help, but I suddenly found that there was a coffee shop here.
I remembered that I had heard about the legend, so I ran in and ordered the signature coffee.
Originally, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that this coffee shop is a legendary coffee shop, and the owner can really help people make their wishes come true.
Well, I don't know if it can be realized for the time being, anyway, now, Qingming is going to help her realize her wish.
In business, what is important is integrity, since he himself spread the news, and now that someone has drunk three cups of "Meng Po Soup", he should naturally fulfill his promise.
"So, you want me to help find the kidnapped boy?"
"No, I'm asking you to help find Shinichi Kudo."
“……”
Yes, Shinichi Kudo.
Quantum, the girl's wish to come true, is to find Kudo Shinichi.
No matter how many times Qingming asked, it was always such an answer.
This made Qingming very helpless.
"Why do you have to look for Shinichi Kudo? Wouldn't it be easier for me to help find the kidnapped little boy? ”
Sitting by the window, Qingming asked.
I couldn't stand on the side all the time, so I decided to sit down and talk.
Mao Lilan also sat down and sat with Quantum, she was also a little curious about this girl who kept saying that she was looking for Kudo Shinichi.
If it weren't for the fact that she just wanted Kudo Shinichi to help, she might wonder if this girl had something wrong with Kudo Shinichi.
And for the girl's insistence, she is also a little helpless.
Then he took a sip of the coffee in front of him......
"Poof...... cough cough cough ...... Sorry, ahem......"
The coffee was sprayed out as soon as it entered her mouth, and the smell was really unbearable for her.
hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and Enomoto Azusa over there also came over to help clean up.
At this time, Mao Lilan realized that the coffee in front of him turned out to be "Meng Po Soup", the kind of magic coffee that no one wants to drink.
Then again, one cup is refreshing, two cups are never tired, and three cups are immortal......
Is it true?
But thinking about the fact that Quantum has just drunk three cups of such coffee, I can't help but be a little admired.
What is the structure of this child's stomach?
Quantum didn't care about Maolilan's mistake, but opened his eyes wide, looking like he took it for granted.
"Because Shinichi Kudo is a detective, shouldn't you find a detective for this kind of case-handling thing?"
If you have a problem, go to the detective, it sounds like it makes sense.
Or in this world, many people do this, and the image of the police has been greatly damaged because of many cases, low detection rates, etc., and it has also made the people feel distrustful.
With the improvement of the status of detectives, it is natural that many people are willing to trust detectives, especially capable and famous detectives.
This seems to be a kind of common sense, after all, even the police are happy to ask for the help of some familiar detectives.
"That's right, but real common sense...... Isn't it right to go to the police when something happens? ”
"Mr. Shopkeeper believes the police?"
Quantum asked rhetorically.
Then Qingming stopped talking.
The neon police are really hard to trust, after all, they will also ask detectives for help.
Kudo Shinichi is also said to be the savior of the neon police.
After a moment of silence, Qingming spoke again.
"Even if that's the case, why don't you just let me help you solve this case, why do you want to find Kudo Shinichi?"
"You're a detective?"
"No, I'm just a coffee shop owner."
"That's not it."
Quantum is still a matter of course.
I said that I was a coffee shop owner, so how could I do what a detective did?
When she thought about it, she felt that it made sense.
"So let's go find Shinichi Kudo, Mr. shopkeeper, you can help me find Shinichi Kudo, since you know this Miss Maoliran, you must also know Shinichi Kudo, right?"
“……”
Acquaintance is acquaintance, after all, it is also a classmate.
Although I have been in the same class for more than half a year, I haven't met many times, and I haven't said many words, so I can't talk about familiarity, but I still have a little friendship.
Because of Maoriland.
But to say that he can't do what a detective does is not to say that he is not as good as that showy reasoning gangster?
Joke.
Who is he Qingming?
A person who has mastered superpowers, a Taoist priest, has no problem catching ghosts, let alone just catching a prisoner.
Just because you don't want to do it doesn't mean you can't do it.
In fact, if you have mastered such abilities, how can you still do anything troublesome like reasoning?
Unless it's out of interest.
After all, why are there Taoist priests in the world? Why are there fantasies about superpowers?
Because you want to be strong?
Wrong.
It's just because I'm lazy, because I don't want to do troublesome things.
Because I don't want to walk, I don't want to walk long distances, so I have the illusion of shrinking the ground into inches, walking thousands of miles, flying and other abilities, so that I won't be tired and can save time.
And now, that's one of the reasons why cars appeared.
In the final analysis, human beings are a lazy race, and the development of high technology is just to be lazy for the better.
Taoist priests are similar.
Because I want to be lazy, I invented all kinds of Taoism.
Reasoning about this kind of troublesome thing, unless it's a hobby, not many people really want to do it.
Therefore, Qingming does not become a detective not because he can't do it, but because he feels troublesome, so he doesn't do it.
He also has the ability to find out the culprit, but by unusual means.
But it doesn't matter, it's the result that matters.
As long as the result is good, then it's OK.
But before the results come out, we have to talk about the conditions.
"Don't say anything else, I'll help you, you have to promise me one condition."
"Conditions? What conditions? Do you still need qualifications? ”
Quantum was stunned, indicating that he didn't quite understand.
Isn't it said that after drinking three specific cups of coffee at once, you can help make your wish come true? How can there still be conditions?
"I've never heard of it!"
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, does it? I'm not a nice person, so I certainly can't help you for free. ”
Qingming shrugged.
He didn't say he was a good person, at least not the existence of Kudo Shinichi's sense of justice.
But hearing him say this, both Quantum and Maolilan seemed to look at him a little dumbfounded, as if they knew him on the first day.
Although Quantum is indeed the first day to know him.
Maolilan didn't expect this to be the case.
She always thought that Qingming would be a good person, but now she said that he was not a good person......
Well, I haven't seen him do anything bad, though.
The worst thing to do is to deliberately make that kind of coffee for people to drink.
That's a double whammy of sight and taste.
Or is it a little ...... Black-bellied?
