As night falls, the wind outside is still bitingly cold, but inside this Western-style restaurant it is as warm as spring.
Men and women were sitting at the tables covered with red tablecloths, and young men and women in white waiter uniforms were walking around with smiles, serving delicious food to the guests.
"This restaurant is pretty good." Ayako said with a smile after tasting the restaurant chef's cooking.
"If you can say it's good, then it seems to be really good."
Tang Ze cut a piece of steak and said with a smile: "It's mainly because it's fresh. Although the quality of this beef is not top-notch, it's fresh."
As a guy with a keen sense of smell, he is different from Ayako, the rich girl. He relies not on accumulated experience, but on his nose.
This is why he always has high requirements for restaurants.
He was a little obsessed with cleanliness to begin with, and after gaining a super sense of smell, it was like having an extra "microscope", and he became even more demanding about cleanliness.
This is also the reason why he often goes to Yukihira's restaurant with Ayako. The food is delicious, needless to say, and cleanliness is also a major factor.
"Aren't we a little early?" Ayako looked around. "Why haven't we seen Chiba and the others yet?"
"They should be here soon." Tang Ze looked at the time, then heard the voice at the door and subconsciously turned his gaze towards the door.
But when he saw the people who pushed the door open, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are they here?"
"Ah, Xiaolan and the others are here too."
After hearing what Karasawa said, Ayako subconsciously turned her head to look at the door, and saw Kogoro Mouri, Ran and Conan walking towards the restaurant.
Their actions naturally attracted the attention of the three people opposite them. Xiaolan smiled and walked over quickly after seeing this. "Sister Ayako, Detective Tang Ze, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you also chose this day to come to dinner?"
"I didn't expect you to come back..." Tang Ze greeted the three people with a smile, but he became alert in his heart.
After all, he met the "classic combination" of Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan at the restaurant, so he had to be more cautious.
"I heard you recommended this to Xianyi?" Ayako on the other side didn't know what Tang Ze was thinking. When she saw Xiaolan, she smiled happily and said, "It tastes very good."
"I'm glad you like it, Sister Ayako." Xiaolan was very happy to hear that. After all, it was a place she recommended, so it was normal to be happy that it was popular.
"Then we won't disturb your date."
Maori Kogoro looked around and said with a smile: "But this kind of place seems more suitable for young people like you, or for holding social gatherings or something."
"Uh..." Tang Ze and Ayako looked at each other and laughed.
"Sister Ayako, why are you two suddenly laughing?" Conan was confused when he saw the two people suddenly laughing, and couldn't help but ask innocently.
"To be honest, the two of us came here today not only to try the restaurant recommended by Xiaolan, but also for a social gathering." Ayako said with a smile.
"Eh? A social gathering?" Xiaolan was surprised. "What's going on?"
"Let those two explain this."
Tang Ze raised his cup and waved it towards the back of the crowd. When Oda Mori, Kogoro and the other two turned around, they saw Chiba and Takagi walking towards them.
"Isn't this Mr. Maori? Good evening." Qianye greeted everyone with a smile after seeing them. "I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you here."
"Detective Chiba~" Xiaolan greeted the newcomer with a smile, "Even Detective Takagi is here too."
But unlike Chiba's calm and composed manner, after seeing Mouri Kogoro and his companions, Officer Takagi kept hiding under Chiba's broad figure.
Unfortunately, you were seen by Xiaolan, who greeted you without noticing.
However, this greeting made Gao Mu panic and his face turned green, and he felt that something was wrong.
It was already shameful to come to the social gathering, but what was even worse was that I actually ran into acquaintances there.
Moreover, this acquaintance also has a good relationship with Sato Miwako.
It’s really killing me!!
Unfortunately, the more he hid, the more he attracted Conan's attention.
At this moment, he ran up to Takagi with the question Ayako had asked earlier and asked curiously, "Detective Takagi, Ayako just asked you about the social gathering. What's going on?"
"ah!?"
Gao Mu was startled when he heard Conan's childish voice, and was so flustered that he couldn't even speak clearly: "I, I...that..."
"You two grown men would come here to eat?"
Maori Kogoro had obviously seen through everything, and with a teasing look on his face, he said, "Ms. Ayako just said that they were here for a social gathering. Are you guys here for a social gathering?"
"Ah, that's right." Qianye smiled and said, "We are indeed here to participate in the social gathering."
"Eh? A social gathering?" Ran asked quickly, "What's going on? Does Detective Sato know about this?"
Takagi looked at Xiaolan in panic and found that she looked at him as a "scumbag". Even the little kid Conan looked at her in the same way, which made him even more panicked.
"That's not the case. I was just pulled here by Chiba to make up the numbers!"
Gao Mu hurriedly explained, but no matter how he spoke, there was a hint of guilt in his words: "Qianye dragged me here, and I couldn't refuse!"
After saying that, he quickly grabbed Qianye's shoulders and said repeatedly: "Is that so? Is that so? Is that right?!"
