Upon learning that the beauty in front of him was about the same age as himself, Kogoro Mori fell into ecstasy.
After all, the other party is of the same age, and the chances are actually greater if the conditions are similar.
So at this moment, Maori Kogoro's style suddenly changed. His eyes were bright and sharp, as if he had become the starry eyes of a male god in a girl's comic. "Excuse me, what are your daily hobbies?"
"Well, let me think..." Ikebo Jinghua pondered for a moment and said, "It should be about the field of kendo..."
"No, I'm asking about yours."
"Ah?" Ikebo Jinghua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I like needlework, knitting sweaters and the like..."
"Oh~~ This hobby is really good. You are such a virtuous person~" When Kogoro Mouri heard the other party's hobby, he immediately showed a lustful look on his face.
But her happiness didn't last for more than three seconds, as Xiaolan came over with tea and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, your hobby is the same as my mother's~"
Maori Kogoro was of course unhappy after being disturbed by Xiaolan, so he immediately changed the subject and counterattacked: "In that case, you should be good at cooking too, right?"
"No, no, I'm not good at this at all." Ikebo Shizuka waved her hand, revealing the Band-Aid on her hand and said, "Look, I accidentally hurt myself yesterday. I haven't used a kitchen knife for a long time, and my thumb, index finger, and even ring finger are injured..."
"It's no big deal if you can't cook!" Maori Kogoro quickly saved the situation: "No one is perfect. Being not good at something actually makes people more attractive and wants to be around you."
"That's why Dad loves Mom so much." Xiaolan naturally would not give Maori Kogoro the chance to sweet-talk him, and immediately came up to finish off all of Maori Kogoro's attacks.
"But I really have a lot of shortcomings...that's why I'm still alone at this age..." Ikenami Shizuka said with an embarrassed smile.
"What! You are not married yet?" Kogoro Mouri almost got close to the other person's face and said with joy.
"Well, I'm not married..." Shizuka Ikenami was startled by Kogoro Mori approaching, and replied intermittently.
"How could such a beautiful woman like you go unnoticed? The men around you are truly blind!"
"Ikeha-san, you're really great."
Xiaolan praised and looked at her father with a playful look: "She really looks like my mother. I just don't know what was going on in the head of the person who left her aside. Maybe he was blind..."
"I'm talking to you..." Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri turned his head helplessly and looked at Xiaolan, but in the end he didn't say much.
But Ikenami Shizuka, who was standing beside her, started coughing.
"Ms. Ikenami, do you have a cold?"
"Ahem... I don't have a cold... I'm just a little sensitive to dust. My bronchial tubes have been in bad condition since I was a kid..."
"Xiao Lan cleaned the place before, maybe that's why." Tang Ze suggested, "Why don't we continue at the Polo Coffee Shop downstairs?"
"I'm so sorry to bother you." Ikenami Shizuka apologized with a cough.
Tang Ze frowned as he watched the other person coughing continuously, and exchanged glances with Conan who was thinking about something beside him.
Arrived at Polo Coffee Shop.
A few of them found a seat in the cafe and sat down, then continued their conversation about the office.
"photo?"
After further questioning, Kogoro Mouri also found out the purpose of Ikenami Shizuka looking for Mr. Shibata.
Of course, it was not because of some bloody plot like "first love", but because she wanted to get the photos back.
The photo showed Shizuka Ikenami winning a prize in a summer competition when she was in her third year of junior high school.
Some time before, her grandmother made a mistake and lost her medal, so she wanted to retrieve the only photo she had as a souvenir.
As for why the photo was with Mr. Shibata, it was because she used it as a bookmark.
I found it in a book I borrowed from Mr. Shibata, but I forgot to take it out when I returned it. By the time I found it, he had already moved.
"So you met Mr. Shibata just to get the photos back?" Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately became excited and asked with a stupid look.
"Yeah...that's right."
"Hmph!..." Xiaolan clenched her fists behind her back, looking unhappy with her father.
"And then? Are there any other clues related to Mr. Shibata?"
After Maori Kogoro heard the news, his mood immediately became cheerful and he immediately became full of energy to work. "Hobbies and interests, what I want to do when I grow up, all of these are fine."
"Well..." Ikenami Shizuka fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Meanwhile, Azusa Enomoto, a waitress from the Polo Cafe, came over with a menu. "Have you decided? What would you like to order?"
"I'll have a cup of coffee."
"I want iced lemon tea."
"black tea."
“REIKO…”
Just as Mouri Kogoro and the other two had chosen their drinks and Conan was looking at the menu, hesitating about what to choose, Ikenami Shizuka suddenly spoke.
"kindness?"
"REIKO? Who is this? It sounds like a girl's name." Kogoro Mouri asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, he just keeps calling me that..." Ikenami Shizuka said with a smile, "Because I seem to resemble a female character with that name in the book he lent me..."
"Conan-kun, have you chosen what to drink?" Azusa Enomoto asked with a smile as she looked at the troubled Conan.
"Well, I've chosen it. A cup of iced coffee." Conan handed the menu back to Azusa Enomoto.
"Then I'll be the same as this kid." Ikebo Jinghua smiled and agreed.
But when the drinks came, Ikenami Shizuka still hadn't thought of any key clues. For a moment, Maori Kogoro was also a little headache. "This is troublesome. I only have the name, age and a photo of a boy from more than 30 years ago as clues..."
"If that's the case, could we please hear that person's opinion?" At this moment, Ikenami Shizuka suddenly spoke up.
Maori Kogoro: "Huh?"
"I once heard from a friend that the famous high school detective from Kanto, Kudo Shinichi, often comes in and out of your office..."
"ah?"
"Shinichi?"
When Kogoro Mouri and Ran heard what Shizuka Ikenami said, their faces were full of confusion, while Karasawa frowned slightly.
Once Kudo Shinichi is involved, he is definitely not a simple person, but why do I have no impression of this person?
No, maybe I have an impression of him, but I just haven’t matched him with the person in my memory yet.
Tang Ze searched his brain frantically, comparing Ikenami Shizuka's characteristics with the people he knew one by one.
Finally, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chi Bo Jinghua with a look of sudden enlightenment.
