On the day that Poirot Café opened, many people came, including the Mori family, Mori Ran's childhood sweetheart Kudo Shinichi, and Mizuo Sosuke who was good friends with the Mori family. In addition, there were the young couple Date Kou and Natalie, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji, and even Chizuru from next door came with Hiroki.
Morofushi Kagemitsu has now mastered the art of cross-dressing, but his sense of shame has been beaten by Kogoro Mori's enthusiastic flirting every time they meet, and it has been so low that even Miyazaki Ren gives him a thumbs up.
When Date Kou saw Morobushi Kagemitsu dressed as a woman for the first time, he was stunned for a moment. He felt that she looked familiar. Her upturned blue cat eyes looked like a friend from the same period who had disappeared for a long time. But when he saw her gentle smile, her curvy figure, her model-like steps, and her melodious voice, he felt that this could not be a friend.
Although Natalie believed her boyfriend, she still felt angry when she saw him staring at such a beautiful woman. “Does she look good?”
At first, Ida Kou didn't react. He nodded absentmindedly, and then was punished by his girlfriend. The soft flesh on his waist was pinched hard. "Hiss", he sucked in a breath of cool air in pain, and then he reacted and shook his head quickly.
"It's okay. If it's nice, just look at it for a while longer," Natalie said "considerately."
Ida Hang's head was shaking like a rattle. "No, no, I just thought that Miss Midorikawa looked familiar, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances at her."
As he said that, he took out his phone, pulled up a photo of several people, enlarged the photo, and showed it to his girlfriend, "Look, don't Miss Midorikawa and Jingguang look alike?"
Morobushi Kagemitsu's makeup skills are very good, and only people who are particularly familiar with him will think that Midorikawa Hikaru is somewhat similar to Morobushi Kagemitsu, but for people like Natalie who don't often come into contact with them, they are not that similar.
Natalie held the photo and compared it to Morofu Jingguang who was not far away for a long time. Her face turned black and she asked, "How are they similar?"
"Hahaha." Noticing that his girlfriend was in a bad mood, Yi Dahang laughed and laughed. Maybe he was really wrong. He scratched his head and said, "Maybe I was wrong~"
Natalie was furious and suspected that her boyfriend was just being perfunctory.
At this time, Morofushi Kagemitsu came over with a cup of freshly made coffee, "Mr. Ida, come in, miss, the coffee you ordered."
"It smells so good!" Yi Dahang took a sip and immediately gave a thumbs up in praise.
"Huh? It's hot?" Natalie was a little surprised. She ordered iced American coffee, but Morofu Jingguang brought her hot coffee.
Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled sheepishly, "Because Miss Raiken is not suitable for drinking cold things at this time, I took the initiative to change it to hot coffee."
Natalie suddenly realized and blushed, "Ms. Midorikawa is so gentle." She was indeed on her period today, but, "How did Miss Midorikawa find out?"
"Because the lady covered her belly and frowned several times before coming, so I had some guesses." Morofushi Jingguang knew all this from someone's cup of brown sugar ginger tea. Out of curiosity, he looked up the recipe of brown sugar ginger tea and found out that it was a must-have drink for women during their special period. Although Japanese women don't care about this, they would rather believe it, so he still served a cup of hot coffee.
"What an amazing observation~" Natalie praised. She moved closer to Morobushi Kagemitsu and held his hand intimately.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's body stiffened. He leaned sideways to pull his elbow away, but then realized that doing so seemed impolite, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.
Fortunately, Natalie was a gentle person. She was quick to notice that Miss Midorikawa didn't like close contact. She naturally dropped her wrist and changed the subject, "Are Miss Midorikawa and Mr. Miyazaki a couple?"
"No, no!" Zhu Fu Jingguang almost choked on his own saliva and quickly waved his hands to deny it.
"Oh my, Miss Midorikawa is too excited. Relax, I'm just gossiping." Natalie was amused by her awkward look and considerately found a new topic.
There was nothing sensitive about the topic this time, and the two of them were chatting very happily. Date Kou stood aside and could not get a word in. The more he looked, the more he felt that Midorikawa Hikaru and Morobushi Keimitsu were alike. Although the two had different voices, genders, and appearances, and their behaviors were very different, the gentleness and thoughtfulness revealed in their every move always made him feel that the person in front of him was the same person who had disappeared for a long time.
"Excuse me, does Miss Midorikawa have a brother?" Ida Hang asked suddenly.
Morofu Jingguang raised the first-level alarm, "No, I'm an only child~"
Ida Hang wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard an abrupt voice, "Catch her!"
Under conditioned reflex, he subdued the woman who suddenly rushed over in an instant. Morobushi Jingguang also wanted to take action, but he remembered his identity, so he pulled Natalie to hide aside, and trembled artificially, as if he was afraid of the sudden change.
This dispelled the thought that Ida Kou had. If it was Kagemitsu, he would definitely not be slower than himself. It seemed that he was overthinking. How could Miss Midorikawa be related to Kagemitsu? They were of different genders.
After getting rid of this thought, Ida Ko quickly discovered the differences between the two people. Looking at Miss Midorikawa's curvy figure and her feminine manners, everything showed that she was a beautiful lady.
The woman who rushed over was an employee of a nearby convenience store. She had a crush on the convenience store owner, but the owner liked Morifushi Kagemitsu, so she held a grudge against him. At the scene, she saw Morifushi Kagemitsu talking happily with Date Kou and ignoring the convenience store owner's courtesy. Therefore, she felt more and more that this woman was keeping the boss hanging and wasting the boss's kindness. In anger, she was ready to scratch that hateful face.
Unfortunately, Mizuo Sosuke was present. Although he often claimed to be a third-rate novelist, his detective ability was unquestionable. He quickly discovered that something was wrong with the woman and spoke out to stop her, which allowed Date Kou to prevent the accident from happening in time.
Date Kou and Mizuo Sosuke are old partners. As soon as Mizuo Sosuke's voice rang out, he moved as if it was an instinct engraved in his genes.
"Are you okay?" Miyazaki Ren looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu with concern. I think his hidden message was not exposed just now.
Morobushi Kagemitsu nodded and said, "It's okay. Thanks to Mr. Mizuo's reminder and Mr. Date's help." The subtitle was don't worry, nothing has been exposed.
Miyazaki Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and Matsuda Jinpei, who was hesitating in the distance, also felt relieved. His love at first sight lasted less than an hour, and although he had already gotten over it, the memories had left a mark, and Midorikawa Hikaru was always different in his heart.
The police arrived soon and took the criminal away. The team was led by the dedicated Inspector Megure. When he learned that this coffee shop was actually a partnership between Miyazaki Ren and others, he vowed to come more often to patronize the business in the future.
Apart from this incident, the opening ceremony of Café Poirot went smoothly and the guests enjoyed themselves very much.
"Damn it, Sosuke-san is still so sharp, and he lost again!" Kudo Shinichi waved his fist unwillingly, "Next time, next time I will definitely win."
Mizuo Sosuke put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Haha, kid, you're still a long way off~"
With two vests present at the same time, Miyazaki Ren was inevitably a little tired and wanted to go home and rest early, but...
"Miyazaki-nii," Hiroki called out to him as he was about to slack off, "I have a business opening present for you."
"What gift?" Miyazaki Ren asked, rubbing her swollen temples.
"It's this." Hiroki took out his phone and looked around, then tugged at the corner of Miyazaki Ren's clothes. Miyazaki Ren bent down and said, "Let me introduce you again. This is my friend, Noah's Ark~"
"!!!"
......
The appearance of Noah's Ark distracted Miyazaki Ren from the opening ceremony, but fortunately it was over. After saying a few words to Morofushi Kagemitsu, she hurriedly left with Hiroki and returned to Miyazaki's house.
"That's amazing, Hiroki! You're really great, I like this gift very much!" After testing Noah's Ark, Miyazaki Ren confirmed that this was the artificial intelligence in the original book that grew at a speed of five years in one year, and happily lifted Hiroki up and spun around.
Hongshu was so embarrassed by the straightforward praise that his neck and ears turned red.
After being happy, Miyazaki Ren put on a serious face, "Hiroki, you are really amazing. This is an invention that can change the times, but you are too weak now, so you must keep it secret and don't mention it to anyone. If you want to introduce it, just pretend to be an intelligent AI."
The smart Hiroki quickly understood the deep meaning of Miyazaki Ren's words. He nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked hesitantly, "Can't Dad tell me?"
Miyazaki Ren was a little hesitant. He wanted to use Noah's Ark to find Karasuma Renya's lair, so the fewer people who knew about Noah's Ark, the safer Hiroki would be. But it would not be good not to tell his father about such a great invention. Kenmura Tadaki was not a bad person, but if he told him his intention, it would be very troublesome to explain. For a moment, Miyazaki Ren was hesitant.
"Don't frown, Miyazaki-brother. Then don't tell dad yet~" Hiroki is a gentle and sensible child. Seeing the troubled Miyazaki Ren, he said considerately.
What a little angel! Miyazaki Ren couldn't help but lift Hiroki up and spin him around in circles.
"Hongshu, I need Noah's Ark's help with something."
"Well, as long as it's about Brother Miyazaki, Noah's Ark will definitely help~" Kenmura Hiroki replied. He always thought that his neighbor Brother Miyazaki was a magical person who knew a lot of things and was involved in all aspects. He also often funded his research. Although Brother Miyazaki was an ordinary policeman on the surface, he must have some other identity behind the scenes, such as Batman in DC, who silently guarded the world's safety in the dark.
"I need Noah's Ark to help me catch someone."
"Is that a bad guy?"
"Yes, he is a bad guy, a very bad guy, but Hongshu has to keep this a secret for me, okay?"
"Of course, Miyazaki-nii." Kenmura Hiroki waved his fist in joy. As expected, Miyazaki-nii is the Batman who silently protects the world. Now he recognizes me and wants me to participate in his plan? Then isn't I the Robin Boy of Batman?
Thinking of this, Kenmura Hiroki became even more excited and decided to go home and order a set of Robin Boys uniforms so that he could wear them when he went out with Miyazaki brother in the future!
......
The early appearance of Noah's Ark made Miyazaki Ren happy, as it meant that his chances of getting rid of Karasuma Renya had greatly increased. Unfortunately, a phone call ruined his good mood.
"Brandy, I have something to ask you to do." After Rum confirmed the time he could return to Japan, his lost mind seemed to come back. He realized how much he had gone too far during his time in Brazil, and that gentleman must have noticed it, so he prepared to please that gentleman.
"Yes, sir, please go ahead." Miyazaki Ren quickly recalled the recent events at the brewery. There shouldn't be anything wrong with Rum, so who was he trying to trouble?
"There is a place called American Island near Tokyo, Japan. There is a legend about mermaids there. I need you to go and confirm whether it is true or not." The gentleman was most interested in immortality, so Rum decided to cater to his interests.
Miyazaki Ren understood immediately that Rum had finally come to his senses and was ready to flatter him! However, in the original novel, there was also an organization investigating the Mermaid Island, which also involved the main plot, and buried a lot of foreshadowing. "I will follow the instructions of Mr. and complete the mission."
"I'm looking forward to your performance, Brandy. By the way, there will be a celebration on the American Island. You should go there during the celebration. If there are any dignitaries, remember to write down their names."
"Yes, Mr. Rum."
After hanging up the phone, Miyazaki Ren pondered Rum's intention. In addition to confirming the authenticity of the mermaid, this list is also very important. It will be the organization's reserve for recruiting people. The organization has never stopped trying to recruit high-level government officials, either by temptation or threat.
Most threats are based on scandals and family members. The baits of temptation are more numerous, including money, sex, power, and even the core secrets of the organization and immortality! How many of the senior officials who hold power and are already in their twilight years can resist the temptation of youth?
All of these politicians who went to the American Island went there because of the legend of the long-lived mermaid. They were simply the organization's targeted customers. The organization used longevity as bait to lure them, and it always worked!
Miyazaki Ren irritably took a big sip of ice water, trying to calm herself down.
Japan's political arena is rotten, with all kinds of factions and gatekeepers. The class stratification brought about by hereditary succession has allowed many parasites to occupy high positions and eat for free. Moreover, Japan has always been dirty in this regard. These senior officials don't care about whether human experiments are illegal. They will only be excited about their achievements and don't care about the lives of ordinary people.
Wait, wait a minute, these people, who appear bright and beautiful on the surface, only dare to hide in the dark and stir up trouble. When the plot begins and the time is ripe, he will definitely drag these stinky and rotten guys out to the sun and completely tear off their hypocritical masks!
Because of Rum's phone call, Miyazaki Ren has been in a bad mood these days and has a sullen face. Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei keenly noticed that something was wrong with him. After asking him to no avail, the two decided to invite him to go out and relax.
"Isn't the legend about the American Island very popular? The festival is coming soon, why don't we go together, what do you think, Miyazaki?" As a 5G surfer, Kenji Hagiwara knows these new things best. He is very curious and invited enthusiastically.
Miyazaki Ren, who was originally going to the American Island, went with the flow and said, "Okay, let's go together. Call the monitor and the others, and I'll ask Midorikawa. How about a group tour?"
Jinpei Matsuda thought of his aborted secret love and felt a little embarrassed, "Is Ms. Midorikawa going too?"
Miyazaki Ren was amused by his behavior and her depression of many days was relieved. "She should go too, why is she so quiet? Is it you?" She smiled meaningfully at her friend.
"What are you laughing at!" Matsuda Jinpei glared at him. "I just felt that I was a little rude at your house last time, so I was thinking about whether I should go and apologize!"
"It's okay. Xiao Zhenping didn't do anything rude, and she didn't take it to heart at all."
"I don't take it seriously..." Matsuda Jinpei muttered to himself, took a long breath, and completely let go of the thoughts in his heart, "Damn it, were you laughing at me just now!" As he said this, he swung his fist and was about to hit someone.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha." In response to his threat, Miyazaki Ren gave an arrogant laugh.
.....
Before going to the American island celebration, Miyazaki Ren received a request for help from Miyano Akemi.
Miyano Akemi put on decent makeup, but it still couldn't hide her haggardness. Miyazaki Ren thought she was heartbroken, but as soon as Akemi opened her mouth, he knew he was wrong.
"This time I came to see Miyazaki-kun because of Shiho. I haven't seen Shiho for two months." Miyano Akemi sighed sadly. She was worried about this matter with all her heart. Men are worthless in front of their sister.
"Because Shiho's current research is very important, that gentleman has given an order, so her security level has been increasing, and her personal freedom has naturally been restricted." In front of Akemi, Miyazaki Ren still calls Miyano Shiho Shiho, not Sherry.
"Shiho, in the end, has taken the same path as her father and mother." Miyano Akemi stroked the hot coffee cup, as if trying to draw some strength from it. "When my parents were doing research, I rarely saw them, and then I heard the news of their death. Now Shiho is like this again, and I have been powerless to do anything. I am really too weak..."
"Well, if Akemi wants to meet Shiho, I have an idea." Miyazaki Ren looked at the sad Miyano Akemi and suggested, "That gentleman restricted your meeting for two reasons. One is that Shiho is very important and he is afraid of problems. As for the second one, I think it's because he doesn't see your loyalty to the organization and is afraid that you will lead Shiho astray. All you have to do is do this..."
Miyano Akemi listened to his words and her eyes gradually widened. "Is this really okay?"
Miyazaki Ren took a sip of hot cocoa with a reluctant look, "Anyway, it can't be any worse than it is now, right?"
Gin feels that something is wrong with the organization recently. First, his right-hand man Rye broke up with his girlfriend, but somehow he fell in love with him and confessed his love to him anonymously. This means that no matter where he goes, people are secretly staring at him. Although Gin is domineering, he is not so domineering that he would kill someone if someone looked at him with gossip.
Secondly, after Rye, Sherry, who had always been picky about him, suddenly became warm and gentle to him. However, this was good news. Sherry's cooperation undoubtedly reduced a lot of burden for him. No one likes to work overtime for nothing, and Gin is no exception.
The third is that Rye's ex-girlfriend, Sherry's biological sister, a member of the grassroots organization named Miyano Akemi, passionately "confessed" to him in public. She said that after experiencing a scumbag like Rye, she discovered the good of the organization. Men can lie, but the organization will not, and neither will Gin. She is grateful for the organization's cultivation of her and her sister over the years, and wants to follow her to shine for the organization.
For Sherry's sake, and also because Gin wanted to know what was going on with Miyano Akemi, a woman who had always been as timid as a mouse, suddenly becoming so bold, so he acquiesced to her following him.
As time goes by, Gin is more and more sure that Miyano Akemi has bad intentions towards him. Although this woman is very bad at completing tasks and can't do anything big, she is really good at taking care of people. Compared with the careless Vodka, Akemi is thorough and takes care of every detail of Gin's life in detail.
Gin is a man who is both refined and rough. He is refined in cigarettes, alcohol and guns, but rough in life. But since Mingmei came, Gin's life has changed dramatically. Soft and comfortable clothes, clean and tidy home, delicious food, these are details that Vodka has never noticed.
Who would be so meticulous if they didn't have an ulterior motive?
After being corrupted by Miyano Akemi's sugar-coated bullets, Gin used his strong self-control to hold on to the last bottom line. He felt that he couldn't go on like this. He was not like Rye, the guy who would take advantage of women's feelings to do things.
Gin decided to have a good talk with Miyano Akemi. Although there were many people who admired him, he claimed that he was not a scumbag. Considering that she had been so hardworking these days, he decided to reject her directly.
"Miyano Akemi, what do you want?"
Miyano Akemi gave him a shy look and said, "I just want to stay by my brother's side and contribute my own strength to the organization."
"You can go to other positions and don't have to follow me."
Miyano Akemi said with tears in her eyes (or fog), "I have accomplished nothing. The only thing I am good at is taking care of people. Big brother is the backbone of the organization, and taking good care of him is the greatest contribution I can make to the organization!"
Gin felt a headache for the first time. He looked at this stubborn woman in silence, trying to use murderous aura to make her give up, but unfortunately Miyano Akemi remained unmoved.
After thinking for a moment, Gin said, "Your sister, Sherry, has recently applied for a life assistant. You can go and take care of her."
Miyano Akemi was overjoyed, her heart almost flying with joy, but she still followed Miyazaki Ren's instructions and said with difficulty, "But, I can't bear to leave... and as for Big Brother... I can——"
She spoke hesitantly, and Gin became more and more certain that this woman was indeed greedy for his body, so he interrupted Miyano Akemi impatiently, "Okay, Miyano Akemi, this is my decision, are you going to resist!"
Miyano Akemi could only bid farewell to her "respected" brother Gin with tears in her eyes, and was "forced" to take care of her younger sister Miyano Shiho.
That night, Miyazaki Ren received a large red envelope from Miyano Shiho and Gin, and she was beaming with joy. It was like killing two birds with one stone. What a great person!
