There is nothing more embarrassing in the world than seeing an acquaintance halfway and needing to say hello, and what is more embarrassing than being forced to say hello is to find out that you have recognized the wrong person after saying hello.

Toru Asada didn't recognize the wrong person, but now the scene where the two look at each other is like a classic scene of failed pickup-

The ugly one leaned up and asked earnestly, "Where have we met?" and the good-looking love replied and thought about it for a long time, and finally spit out a sentence of "who are you" slowly.

The sense of déjà vu was so strong that he wanted to throw off the sentence "I don't know" on the spot, and then pull his legs and leave.

Toru Asada moved slightly, and Yuzu Tsuji on the opposite side probably pulled out some memory fragments from the non-recyclable part of the brain, and then nodded strangely: "It's you, Chiyo and Mr. Police Officer from Izakaya." ”

Yuzu Tsuji said this in a particularly crisp tone, suggesting that she should not be standing in such a boring meeting room with papers in her hands, but should lean against the mossy stone wall and spit out a lady's cigarette.

"That's a coincidence." Yuzu Tsuji bent the corners of her eyes slightly.

Who would have thought that a few months later, one of the police academy students who had solved the incident appeared in front of him again, and the person opposite had probably officially become a police officer at this moment, and his speech and demeanor had not changed in any special way, revealing a subtle sense of familiarity.

There is also a temperament that is incompatible with this kind of venue.

This is really unfortunate, the brown-haired officer had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, but he secretly pursed his lips in his heart, and turned over all the polite words in the world, ready to choose the most polite sentence or two perfunctory.

After all, Toru Asada and Yuzu Tsuji are not familiar at all, and there is no plan to make deep friends when they meet in Pingshui.

He just looked at the venue several times, and no important clues were found, but if he didn't leave, the tea break on the side of the venue was almost eaten by the Maori detective alone.

Especially Kenji Hagiwara, this guy has been by Maori Kogoro's side, and he didn't eat less of the refreshments on the table, at most his posture was much more elegant than that of the detective who was immersed in eating, and it did look like he was taking a break for a few minutes after socializing, and he was smiling and chatting with the Maori detective while picking up the plate.

This kind of occasion is really understood by Hagiwara Kenji, and the social skills exercised by lingering in the flowers are really no problem with a middle-aged uncle.

This is also the fact that Kenji Hagiwara took two more plates in order not to let the Maori detective eat too abruptly alone, and if the two big stomach kings of Tian Jinping and Shigu Zero came over, it would definitely be a combination made in heaven to get together with the sloppy detective, and the entire tea break area would have to turn into a tornado crossing, and the two pastry chefs hired by the president of Minakami for this unveiling ceremony are estimated to be too busy at all.

…… Stay in the brain.

Yuzu Tsuji, who was standing opposite Toru Asada, didn't know that the brown-haired officer's mind flew all the way to the tornado destroying the parking lot, and she choked on a casual greeting from Toru Asada asking how the work was going well, her eyes swept over the disgusting current boss, and then thought about the disgusting former boss for a few seconds, and finally sneered nonchalantly.

"It's all millennium kings who have lived into essence, if you ask me which soft-shelled turtle is better to boil into soup, I may be able to tell you." Yuzu Tsuji clearly gestured to the two presidents who were talking in front of her, and her words were still ruthless.

But now this bastard boss is probably more advanced in her heart, and she is also a bastard who can pay wages when rounded.

Anyway, President Yamagata can't hear it.

"Yuzu Tsuji-what are you doing?!" A little farther away, there was a reprimand from President Yamagata.

Yuzu Tsuji rolled her eyes at Toru Asada's thin eyebrows, shrugged her shoulders impatiently, and then turned her head to a serious expression.

"I'm so sorry, I'll go now!"

Tsuji Yuzu really hasn't changed at all, Toru Asada looked at the direction Tsuji Yuzu left and secretly slandered himself, changing his face so fast that he could apply for intangible cultural heritage, and his personality was so magical that he put more chili peppers and soy sauce at the same time when God created man.

The unveiling ceremony has not yet officially begun, and this waiting time is the best time for major merchants to talk about cooperation, and the sound of conversation and light laughter around them is endless, accompanied by the flickering sound of magnesium lights.

Toru Asada took a few steps and stood on his feet, looking up at the person in front of him, his words full of stomach aches like eating ramen and vomiting.

“...... Sister Pear, do you have a meeting with acquaintances today? ”

The person in front of him in a light yellow dress is Riko Hidaka, and it's not surprising that Yuzu Tsuji, a secretary, followed President Yamagata over, and it's outrageous that the proprietress of the ramen shop can appear here.

From Kenji Hagiwara at the beginning to Riko Hidaka in front of him, the density of acquaintances at the venue today is surprisingly high, as if even the address book from hundreds of years ago has been pulled out of the soil and then sent an invitation to the meeting with one click.

If it weren't for the fact that his address book had been burned to ashes and turned into smoke, and he had changed one stubble after another, he might not have been able to fight back in the daytime, and he almost felt that someone had made a joke.

Obviously, Hidaka Riko didn't expect to meet Toru Asada here, and she was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and then returned to a warm and soft smile.

"Yuzu invited me over."

I almost forgot, Sister Pear grabbed a handful of grapefruit candy in her pocket, and it was not strange to be invited over to play by the real Yuzu - a ghost.

Yuzu Tsuji came here for work, Sister Riko, what are you doing here-President Minakami finally found out that his tea break was eaten by Kogoro Maori, so let you come over and make two bowls of ramen to make up for it.

Toru Asada barely suppressed his desire to complain, and after a few idle words, he was ready to slip away, but fortunately, Riko Hidaka probably had something to say to her friend, and walked in the opposite direction after laughing and chatting a few words.

Fortunately, he slipped away quickly, otherwise judging from the fact that Sister Pear pounced on the three layers of foundation today and the three layers outside, he really wanted to complain to his face that this makeup was really ugly.

…… If he really said this, he would be made into char siu in ramen by Riko-sama.

On the other side of the venue, two children shuttled through the crowd, a boy in a small suit ran fast in front, and another little girl with rounded and sharp horns on her head chased behind.

"Shinichi! It's time for us to go back, Daddy is going to be angry! There was a sense of urgency in Maolilan's voice.

"Then you go back first-" Kudo Shinichi's voice sounded from the front, his eyes roving, "I remember that police officer brother who just saw the president of Minakami!" ”

His inquiry was interrupted inexplicably, and he had been thinking about asking President Minakami again, but after the friendly meeting between President Minakami and President Yamagata ended, he disappeared into the crowd, and he couldn't find it.

Damn, there were still too many people in the venue, and he couldn't move at all as a child.

"Let me see—ah, I found it!" As soon as there was a case, the little detective who left his girlfriend behind was patrolling the venue for a long time, and then his eyes lit up and he just wanted to rush over, but he was pulled by the back of his neck.

The voice of the brown-haired police officer sounded behind Kudo Shinichi: "Policeman-kun, you have been standing at the door of the bathroom for more than ten minutes, is the president of the water club constipated?" ”
