"Um...."
On the long square table, Kidd put his chopsticks together and pushed the bowl forward, indicating that he was full:
"Strange, when did the set meal at the cafe downstairs become so delicious?"
He picked up a toothpick and put it in his mouth, then asked thoughtfully:
"Did they change the chef?"
Sakaki Makoto also felt that something was wrong.
Before they set off for Osaka, they thought the set meals at Café Poirot had a savory and salty taste. After all, they had just eaten it and the memory was still fresh.
Can...
After returning from Yokosuka, I ordered delivery from them again in the evening. It was the same pork chop and eel rice, but the taste was obviously different.
Sweet.
If it is the same chef, the cooking style should be similar. Even if the performance is not good occasionally, the taste of the dishes should not be so different.
perhaps...
Like Kidd said, did they change the chef?
As a cafe that also serves food, changing the chef is understandable, and Makoto Sakaki didn't think much about it.
He checked his phone and found that it was already 8:35 p.m., and estimated that after a while...
Suddenly asked:
"Brother Kidd, it's almost time. When are you going next door?"
"Don't worry..."
Kidd smiled maliciously and raised his eyebrows:
"Kudo Shinichi wants to arrest me, but also wants me to save the situation..."
"Where can so many good things come from in the world?"
"You're not going to come over?"
With his eyebrows twisted into a "川" shape, Sakaki Makoto disagreed:
"If Kudo's identity is exposed, the risk will increase greatly!"
"Of course I'll go, but..."
Holding the toothpick in his mouth, Kidd leaned back, put his hands behind his head, and lazily showed his headphones:
"The savior always appears at the last moment."
"rest assured."
"I installed a bug on Conan."
............................
Next door, on the third floor of the office.
Conan stood on tiptoe, put the cleaned dishes into the sink, wiped his hands, and trotted back to the living room:
"Ran Nai-chan, I'm going back to my room to sleep..."
Mao Lilan looked out the window, holding the injured white dove in her arms, and said without turning her head:
"I have something to tell you."
The sound of the dripping rain and the last chill of the summer breeze blew in through the window, and the pigeons cooed, looking a little restless.
As...
Conan now.
As expected...is the real purpose finally revealed?
Conan walked up to her and tried his best to look innocent:
"Rannai-chan...what do you want to say?"
“Sometimes I wonder…”
After putting the pigeons into the bamboo basket, Mao Lilan stood up, leaned on the window sill with her hands behind her back, and smiled silently:
"Conan, you are really mature."
"Mature..."
"Not like a little kid."
Conan: “…”
"Before you came, Dad could only take on some family emotional disputes, and almost never involved in murder cases, let alone the title of Sleeping Kogoro."
"I have been paralyzing myself, saying in my heart that Conan is just a smart kid..."
Conan: “…”
"But you and Shinichi have so many similarities. You like the same people, have the same attitude towards cases, and have the same birthday..."
"Ah..."
Crystal tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and Mao Lilan wiped them away quickly:
"Why am I crying..."
Conan clenched his fists, lowered his head, and said nothing.
He feels heartbroken now.
Every word that Mao Lilan said was like a sharp arrow, piercing his heart.
He doesn't want to deceive Mao Lilan!
He also wanted to tell the truth...
He also wanted to resolve all this as soon as possible and return to his original body...
But...
Kudo Shinichi...no, Conan.
Do you have the ability to protect Mao Lilan after telling her the truth?
The person sent by the Black Organization to monitor Sakaki Makoto is next door. If the way Mouri Ran treats him changes, will it arouse the other party's suspicion?
Once my identity is exposed, then...
It's not just the Maori family that's in trouble.
Makoto Sakaki, Shiho Miyano, Dr. Agasa, Heiji Hattori, Kid...
These people will be included in the organization's assassination list and executed as soon as possible.
A single move can affect the entire body.
A strong feeling of powerlessness surged from the bottom of his heart, Conan gritted his teeth, and couldn't say anything.
"Shinichi...Conan..."
While murmuring, Mao Lilan asked with a trembling voice:
"You're not alone...right?"
"orchid..."
Conan closed his eyes and seemed to have made a decision:
"I..."
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the office suddenly opened, and a young man in the uniform of Teitan High School appeared.
He was covered in rain, his hair was wet, and he was smiling:
"Lan, long time no see."
"Shinichi?!"
Mao Lilan opened her mouth in shock. The sudden change made her a little overwhelmed.
She looked at Conan, then looked at Kudo Shinichi standing at the door, dumbfounded:
"You...he..."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you daydreaming about?"
Kudo Shinichi walked towards her, his steps slightly graceful:
