Chapter 258: Melancholy Tom Cat
Actually, in the case of the art museum, Xia Ruo originally just wanted to watch the play, after all, some people are going to die in the world of Conan.
In the final analysis, Xia Ruo is just an outsider, and Xia Ruo still has a feeling of being out of place in this world, and living in it does not have much real feeling.
However, looking at Conan's careful search for clues because of his words, Xia Ruo couldn't help but help Conan once in the end and saved the person who was supposed to die.
For Xia Ruo, it's just a gesture.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen today, the curator seems to be such a good person," Mao Lilan said in a low tone.
Maori Kogoro shook his head, "There is nothing impossible, many murderers, in fact, they can't look like murderers on the outside, Xiaolan, you still have to learn more from me." ”
Xiaolan ignored her father's braggadocio and set her eyes on Xia Ruo.
"Thanks to Teacher Xia Ruo today, otherwise, someone would have had an accident, but I didn't expect Teacher Xia Ruo to appear there in such a timely manner."
"It's okay, it's just luck," Xia Ruo replied with a smile.
It's not luck!
Conan looked at Xia Ruo's figure, and Conan was extremely wary of Xia Ruo at this time.
This guy obviously saw through at a glance that Mr. Curator was going to do it.
Obviously, he has always had strong reasoning skills, but he has always used luck as an excuse.
After this incident, it is impossible for Conan to continue to treat Xia Ruo as an ordinary person. In Conan's heart, even if Xia Ruo is not a detective, his profession is definitely not the profession of ordinary people, especially the action of taking away the long sword, not only the reasoning ability, but also the strength of this guy is far beyond ordinary people.
Xia Ruo has always had a deep layer of fog in Conan's eyes, which he can't see through, and as for the matter of finding the murderer through murderous aura, Conan feels that it is just Xia Ruo's excuse, because there is no scientific basis for murderous things at all.
"What the hell is this guy doing, but I have to be careful in the future, so that he can't see through my true identity."
Conan thought silently.
At this time, Conan still thought that he was not exposed.
Because of the murder, Xiaolan did not want to continue visiting the museum, and the group returned to the Maori office.
The Maori office is definitely a good place to relax, and as soon as Xia Ruo came back, she lay down on the sofa.
Even Xia Ruo felt that Maori Kogoro was really a person who would enjoy it, and when he didn't have a commission, he would rest all day, and when he had a commission, he would go to the scene, sleep and take the money and leave.
……
"By the way, what about Tom? Why didn't you see it," After returning to the Maori office, Xiaolan searched for a long time, but did not find Tom.
"Maybe it's somewhere to hide and rest," Xia Ruo also turned his head to look, but found no trace of Tom.
Because pets are not allowed in the museum, Xia Ruo did not take Tom with him this time, and when he left, Tom was still on the sofa in the Maori office, and disappeared when he came back.
"Eh, where's my beer? Who stole it, and where the hell did the thief steal my beer," Kogoro Mori shouted angrily after opening the refrigerator.
"There's cat hair and cat paw prints near the refrigerator, maybe Tom stole it, after all, it's the only one at home," Conan reasoned after observing it at the scene.
Boom!
Kogoro Mori knocked Conan on the head.
"Why are you hitting me?" Conan was beaten, tearful and somewhat aggrieved.
Mori Kogoro glanced at Conan with disdain, "Children can't reason, don't learn adults to reason, how could a cat steal my beer, use your brains a little." ”
"Huh."
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched.
He wouldn't have believed it before, but when he went to the toilet at night, he saw it with his own eyes, and the cat named Tom opened the refrigerator and took a sausage for supper.
But Conan didn't explain it.
After touching his head and thinking about it, Kogoro Mori gave Conan some change.
"Maybe I'm mistaken, I ran out of beer in the morning, and you go to the convenience store across the street to buy some for me."
Conan took the change given by Maori Kogoro, a little speechless, he was beaten by this uncle, and he had to buy him wine, I really don't know how this uncle who gets drunk every day gave birth to an excellent daughter like Xiaolan.
……
Tom seems to have gone out and didn't come back until late at night.
It's just that Tom walked staggering when he came back, and he seemed to be drunk, and Xia Ruo probably guessed that it should have drunk Maori Kogoro's beer and went out to do something...... There is a high probability that I am looking for a little female cat.
Looking at Tom like this, Xia Ruo always felt that Tom was a little lower than usual.
Tom, do you miss Jerry?
Now Tom and Jerry haven't seen each other for a long time, although Xia Ruo usually asks Tom to go back to visit his relatives and see his friends, but the relationship between the two is indeed a little too good, and they often don't see each other, and they still miss a little.
Xia Ruo felt that although Tom was living a good life under his own care, he might still miss the days when he was with Jerry.
Tom has been following Xia Ruo for a long time, and looking at Tom's appearance at this time, Xia Ruo is also a little uncomfortable.
Isn't it better to think more about Tom's thoughts?
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, Xia Ruo suddenly thought of a good idea.
……
A few days later.
In the past few days, the Māori office still has no commissions, so it is still a free day.
It's just that today, Xia Ruo is not in the Maori office, it seems that he has gone out because of something.
"Have you heard? Teacher Xia Ruo bought the café downstairs, and now the owner of the café downstairs is already Teacher Xia Ruo. ”
Xiaolan said to her father and Conan.
"Sister Xiaolan, is that the Poirot café downstairs?" Conan asked at Xiaolan, that café, he used to go to a lot.
"Yes, that's it, I heard that the owner of that café is not there all the year round, and then Mr. Xia Ruo contacted the other party, negotiated the price and transferred it to him, these days, Mr. Xia Ruo has been busy with this matter," Xiaolan said to Conan.
"Huh? Are you sure? ”
Maori Kogoro also heard Xiaolan's words and put down the newspaper in his hand.
He glanced up at Xiaolan, "I also know the owner of that café, I don't usually see a few people, can it be profitable?" But Xia Ruo doesn't seem to care about the money, it's a good thing to buy a café, and you can drink coffee in the future, hahahaha. ”
"Uh," Conan couldn't help but wipe his sweat as he listened to Mori Kogoro's laughter.
"Even if you think so, you can't say anything like drinking coffee for nothing."
……
Xia Ruo did buy Poirot's Cafe.
Because of the 100 million yen last time, Xia Ruo had a lot left in addition to some commission fees to Kogoro Maori.
Although this Poirot café doesn't look like a café that can make a lot of money, after all, it has a good location, just below the Maori office, and it is also the location of some plots after that, so it is not a loss to buy it.
The general decoration of the café has not changed much.
However, the name of the café was changed, and Xia Ruo gave it a new name.
"Dimensional Cafe."
