It was 7:45 p.m., and it was rare for me to get back to my residence before 8 p.m.

After leaving the Mori Detective Agency, Fujiwara Yu bought a blueberry cheesecake that Miyano Akemi liked on his way home. This shop has a very good control over the sweetness of desserts. Even though he doesn't often buy desserts, he thought it tasted good.

Password, open the door, take off your shoes.

After hearing footsteps coming from the front, Fujiwara Yuu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Miyano Akemi who appeared in front of him wearing an apron, and said the lines he always had to say after returning home. He enjoyed the feeling of saying this:

"I'm back."

"You're back. I tried making garlic cream shrimp pasta today based on a recipe. Come wash your hands and try it." Miyano Akemi walked to the door to greet him as usual. She was quite curious why Ayou got off work at this time. If she hadn't received the email, she would definitely not prepare dinner for him so early.

After Fujiwara Yu went into the bathroom to wash up and change into home clothes, he did not choose to sit in the restaurant and wait for Miyano Akemi to serve the food. Instead, he walked into the kitchen to help. After putting the mashed potato salad as a side dish on the plate, he ate with her.

The shrimp oil fried from the shrimp shells is paired with garlic and light cream. I have to say that the sauce made in this way cannot be bad.

The juicy shrimp, coated in a rich sauce, are paired with pasta, offering a subtle spicy kick. The tiny red particles in the white sauce reveal the addition of chili powder, a savory tang that perfectly complements the creamy texture, allowing diners to devour the entire plate without a fuss.

"This recipe is pretty good. Of course, your cooking skills are even better." Fujiwara Yu picked up his favorite iced lemon tea with satisfaction, and praised his girlfriend's cooking skills without hesitation. He found that Mingmei's cooking level was even better than before, and she had a strong learning ability. She could basically replicate the dishes made by others easily.

Sometimes, I even make some innovations to make the food taste even better.

Akemi Miyano smiled and took a bite of the blueberry cheesecake in front of her. The rich and dense cheese taste paired with the sweet and sour blueberry jam was so delicious that she could tell it was a flavor that Shiho would like. She would definitely buy it for her to enjoy after she left the organization.

"I have to stay at home for a while and learn some cooking skills. I'm thinking of opening a coffee shop in Beido Town in the future." Miyano Akemi expressed her thoughts. After all, she has not yet mastered the skills of voice changing. In order to prevent the people in the organization from recognizing her voice, she has to stay away from public as much as possible.

Coffee shop?

An idea suddenly flashed through Fujiwara Yu's mind. Not only would this allow Akemi to do the job she liked, but she could also help him keep an eye on the Mori Detective Agency. Now, the most likely place for Kudo Shinichi to appear was probably there.

"Is it okay if it's not Haido Town?"

"Um?"

"Actually, I have something I want you to help me with. Do you have any impression of the name Kudo Shinichi?" Fujiwara Yuu didn't want to hide everything from Akemi. They were in a relationship now, and he was happy to talk about topics that were not in the confidentiality agreement.

Because he knew in his heart that as long as the organization was not eradicated, neither he nor Mingmei could live a peaceful and good life. They had long been in the same boat, so there was no need to deliberately hide some things.

Miyano Akemi was a little surprised when she heard the name. She nodded and said:

"Of course I remember that. Didn't we go to Dorobiga Paradise together before?"

"Yes, as a high school detective, he's naturally curious about certain things, which is why he's now being targeted by the organization." Fujiwara Yuu frowned seriously, put down his glass, and explained, "My informant in the organization told me this. Kudo's whereabouts are currently unknown, but I can only confirm that he's safe for now."

Miyano Akemi quickly thought of the phone call she had received that morning, and she answered with understanding:

"So how can I help you? Should I become a teacher at Teitan High School?"

"He probably wouldn't be so brazen as to return to school, so I want to start with the people around him."

"Do you want me to get close to Mouri Ran?" The smart Miyano Akemi reacted very quickly. The girl's appearance appeared in her mind. It was not difficult to imagine how worried and concerned Mouri Ran was about Kudo Shinichi's "disappearance".

Fujiwara Yuu didn't rush to answer. Instead, he opened his phone's photo album and selected the photos he had taken before leaving. He pointed at the Polo Cafe in the photo and said with a slight smile:

"Well, there happens to be a coffee shop below the Mori Detective Agency, and I've also found out that the manager is often away from Tokyo, so if I offer him a suitable price, maybe I can successfully acquire it."

"Can't you just go and work?"

"Only the boss can choose the employees, right? I don't want any random people to run into the store." Fujiwara Yu was worried that someone in the organization had the same idea as him, and sneaking into the coffee shop would undoubtedly put Mingmei in danger, so he planned to acquire Polo Coffee Shop, and all employees had to undergo detailed background checks.

"Then you make the decision. I'm happy to be able to help you."

After finalizing the acquisition of Polo Coffee Shop, Fujiwara Yu thought of the girl who was busy in the coffee shop. To be on the safe side, he used his position to investigate the girl's background information. After all, he was in a state of "not being able to afford to lose" now.

If you want to stay in this world, you have to be more cautious than before.
