Chapter 41: The Cafe Incident Part I
Kogoro and Koran were very happy today, and got up early in the morning to clean up. Because today is the weekend, Xiaolan and Conan don't need to go to school.
After a rare look of dressing herself, Xiaolan turned to look at Kogoro. At this time, Kogoro, who was wearing a black suit and dark blue tie, was standing in front of the mirror and refused to leave for a long time.
Of course, it's not that he's narcissistic or anything, but he's been nervously combing his hair, making sure there's nothing wrong.
Kogoro made an appointment to meet with Concubine Eiri at a café at noon today, this was the first formal appointment since they separated, how could he calm down.
Xiaolan also dressed up a little bit today, and then turned to Kogoro, looking at him who had been repeating this action, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and at the same time a burst of sadness and amusement.
It's just that my parents met once, but it became like this. As soon as she thought of this, she directly pushed Kogoro out.
Kogoro, who was forced out of the door, only set off with anxiety and expectation. He first had to go and pick up the gifts he had prepared, and then he felt that the café was fine when it was almost noon.
And after he went out, Conan opened his mouth curiously. "Sister Xiaolan, who is he going to see today?" "Dad, he's going to see Mom!" Conan was even more puzzled when he heard this.
Regarding the separation of Kogoro and Concubine Yingli, he had heard Xiaolan nagging in front of him before. But looking at the way it is now, are the two of them going to reconcile?
Before he could ask a question, Xiaolan looked at him embarrassedly. "That Conan, will you stay home this morning?" "Why!? Sister Xiaolan, are you going out too? ”
"Well, because my mother is usually very busy, I haven't seen her for a long time, so I want to take advantage of her free time today to meet her." "That's right!"
Conan fell silent as he spoke, he was embarrassed to follow in this situation, after all, it was a matter of three of them, how could he get involved.
In the end, Xiaolan also went out, and compared to Kogoro, she naturally arrived first. But because it was too early, after she found a place to sit down, Fei Yingli still didn't arrive.
This made her a little nervous, looking at the time on her watch, and then staring at the door.
The first to come was a woman with sunglasses, her temper was a little not good, and after choosing a seat, she unhappily ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter.
After her, the second one who came in was a college student, who said he had come to write his graduation thesis, and he didn't look anything special.
The next person to come in was Fei Yingli, with long brown hair coiled high. She wears a pair of glasses, a string of pearl necklaces, and a long, fuchsia dress.
After seeing her, Xiaolan suddenly stood up and took a few steps to greet her. "Mom, why do you still have these things with you today!" Xiaolan looked at the briefcase in her hand with a little dissatisfaction.
"Well, I can't help it! There's so much work to do, but there's no way to deal with it if you don't hurry up. As she spoke, she sat down with Xiaolan.
"By the way, what about that guy?" She looked up and looked around. Xiaolan suddenly showed a smile and opened her mouth lightly. "Dad, he said he was going to bring you a present, so he won't come until later."
"I know how to bring gifts! I don't know what I've been doing for so many years? Fei Yingli said disdainfully, but it was difficult to hide the expectation in her eyes.
This made the smile on Xiaolan's face even more obvious. Before they could say anything, another man walked into the café.
It was a stout middle-aged man, with gauze wrapped around his left ring finger, as if he had been injured in some way, and he came in and walked straight to the counter.
Xiaolan then talked to Fei Yingli for a few words, and someone walked in. It was a young man with shoulder-length hair, a little handsome, but his speech and actions were a little frivolous, which made Xiaolan a little dissatisfied with him.
He tied his hair up with elastic bands and started talking on the phone. "I made an appointment with a girl to meet at a café. It was a girl I met last time on TV. ”
"It's rare to see a girl as innocent as her now! A girl like her, as long as she coaxes her, she can get her hands on it. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing his words, Xiaolan felt that it seemed to have something to do with her, and when Concubine Yingli went to the bathroom, she glanced at the young man a few more times, but she didn't have any impression.
Soon after Fei Yingli returned, the man entered the toilet, and then his huge screams were heard, and everyone immediately rushed towards it.
After entering the toilet, I saw the man sitting on the ground with a frightened face, pointing to the outermost compartment inside, and I saw a pool of blood flowing out from under the compartment.
At this moment, Kogoro and Conan appeared at the door of the toilet at the same time, and before Kogoro could say anything, Conan rushed over. When he found that the door could not be opened, he jumped up and hung on the top of the door frame using the leg strength booster shoes invented by Dr. Asasa.
He propped himself up and immediately saw what was going on inside. The girl who came in after Xiaolan entered the coffee was curled up and lying in horror and helplessness, obviously dead.
Kogoro was holding a gift box in his hand, so it was not convenient to go over to check it, so he just walked to Fei Yingli's side. "Yingli! What's going on? ”
After hearing that it was Kogoro who was asking, Fei Yingli glanced at him quietly, and then opened his mouth to tell him what he knew.
"That's right! In this way, if the murderer is a person in the store, it is certain that the people who came in later. Kogoro was thinking about it when he was interrupted by Fei Yingli.
She whispered beside Kogoro and said, "This is Shinichi's child!?" "Yes, that's him!" Judging from this, it is obvious that Fei Yingli also knows Conan's true identity.
"It's really like a child, and I don't know how to converge at all. Didn't I hear Xiaolan say that he was going to stay at home? "I don't know about this, I met him at the door of the café."
It turned out that after Xiaolan left, Conan was still not at ease, so he immediately followed. After finally coming to the café, he stayed outside the door and watched Xiaolan and Fei Yingli inside.
It wasn't until a moment before the long-haired young man screamed that Kogoro came here with a gift, and when he saw Conan wandering outside the door, he didn't say anything, and took Conan straight inside.
"Daddy! How did Conan end up with you? Xiaolan looked a little angry, what did her parents do with a small light bulb for a rare meeting.
