Chapter 120 Sushi Restaurant
Vodka thought he might be dazzled, otherwise why would he feel that a bucktoothed chef looked a bit like Rum Boss?
He leaned in front of Gin and whispered, "Brother, I know what you're looking at. That cook looks a bit like Boss Rum, doesn't he?"
Gin glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curved, and he said sarcastically, "Hasn't it ever occurred to you that this is him?"
Vodka was stunned and stammered, "Huh? No way?" How could Rum be a chef? And with buck teeth!
He was still confused when he saw the bucktoothed chef come out with a plate. He put the plate down with a smile on his face and said in a long voice, "A special plate of sushi. Please enjoy!"
"Heh~" Gin was silent for a moment, then chuckled.
Rum gritted his teeth secretly, wanting to slap the plate on his face.
When he saw Gin enter the store through the kitchen window, he had a bad feeling. This must be directed at him.
He had originally thought of just staying in the kitchen, but the manager was frightened by Gin's aura and said no one dared to come out to serve the dishes. The other employees didn't dare either, so they pushed him out. He didn't want to give up this position yet, so he had to do as he was told.
But as soon as he put down the plate and said that, he regretted it.
Working as a waiter for Gin?! When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
It’s okay to serve dishes to ordinary people, but not to Gin!
The store manager and employees were all watching from the kitchen window, fearing that Wakita Kensuke would get angry and start a fight with a customer.
Fortunately, Rum was also a good actor. He controlled his expression, put down the plate, and prepared to leave.
At this time, Gin raised his chin and said, "Wouldn't you like to introduce yourself?"
The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense.
Wakita Kensuke slowly turned around, took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "The sushi in our restaurant uses carefully selected high-quality Penglai rice, which is washed eight times and cooked with firewood..."
He talked incessantly, but Gin didn't react at all. He just picked up the sushi and tasted it, completely treating his words as background music.
After Wakita Kanenori finished speaking, he asked, "Sir, how does it taste? Is it as delicious as I said?"
Gin swallowed the sushi in his mouth and commented, "Well, it's okay."
Wakita Kensuke twitched his lips and said sarcastically, "That customer must have eaten too many good things and looked down on our small shop."
"Maybe." Gin nodded.
Wakita Kanenori became even more angry. "Then please enjoy your meal, sir." Then, regardless of Gin's reaction, he turned and went back to the kitchen.
When Vodka saw Rum leave temporarily, his tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and he dared to stretch out his chopsticks.
He hadn't even dared to breathe, let alone eat. Perhaps only his eldest brother dared to act on Rum's nerves.
He took a piece of sushi and was immediately dazzled. It tasted surprisingly good! Boss Rum even has this kind of cooking skills?! Our organization is truly full of talented people!
One portion of premium sushi wasn't enough, so they added more, and each time, it was Wakita Kensuke who brought it out. Perhaps because he'd been serving dishes so many times, Rum's acting had become more mature; by the end, he didn't look angry at all.
But Gin didn't tease him again.
After Gin was full, he put down his chopsticks, sipped his tea slowly, and waited for Vodka to finish.

In the detective agency, Maori Kogoro sat at his desk, quickly counting a wad of money. After counting it all, he fiddled with it, listening to the sound of the bills and saying with great pleasure, "As expected of a top executive at a big company, you're so generous. This is such a big reward for just a few photos. It's worth all my time spent on the rooftop catching an adulterer."
Conan Edogawa twitched his lips. He often felt that his uncle's skills were misplaced. He shouldn't be a detective, he should be a paparazzi! With his skills in catching adulterers, the entertainment industry was the place where he could fully utilize his talents.
However, he would not discourage his uncle's enthusiasm. Instead, he leaned on the back of the sofa and praised him, "Uncle is amazing! He really deserves to be called a famous detective!"
"Hahaha~" Kogoro Mouri laughed arrogantly.
Then Conan changed the subject: "Since uncle has made a lot of money, can we go out for a good meal tonight?"
Kogoro Mouri's laughter stopped abruptly.
He looked at Edogawa Conan, and the child gave him a cute smile.
Mouri Kogoro:......
He struggled and said, "Xiaolan has already bought vegetables..."
"It's okay, you can save it for tomorrow." Mao Lilan said with a smile, "I want to be lazy too."
Maori Kogoro clapped his hands with a wad of money and compromised, "Alright. Money is meant to be spent anyway. I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."
"Great!" Edogawa Conan raised his hands and cheered.
Mao Lilan suggested: "How about we go to the Western restaurant on the top floor of the Beihua Building?"
Maori Kogoro's face changed. It was too expensive! Every time he went there, his wallet would shrink by one-third!
He immediately said, "It's too far to go there, and I'm hungry. Let's just have sushi downstairs!"
Two children: ...
Edogawa Conan was speechless: "What kind of feast is this?"
Mao Lilan was also dissatisfied and said: "Dad, you are a bit stingy."
"What's wrong with sushi? Premium sushi is expensive too!" Maori Kogoro decided to defend himself. He pointed downstairs and said, "Look, there are people driving luxury cars to eat here! It means the sushi restaurant downstairs is very famous!"
"Luxury car?" Mao Lilan walked to the window doubtfully, looked down, and exclaimed in surprise, "Really! It looks so expensive! By the way, are they really here for sushi?"
"Of course, you wouldn't open this to eat sandwiches, would you?" said Kogoro Mouri.
Mao Lilan: "...Mr. Amuro will be angry if he hears this."
"Ahaha~ I was just saying that." Maori Kogoro rested his left arm on the windowsill, leaned sideways and looked down, saying enviously, "But, antique cars really look impressive. I'm afraid you can't buy this one even if you want it."
When he heard the word "antique car", Conan Edogawa got nervous.
Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "It looks like a Porsche. What model is it?"
Conan Edogawa panicked even more. He immediately jumped off the sofa and leaned against the window to look down. "Porsche 356A!" He gritted his teeth as he said this.
This is Gin's car! Why is he here?!
"Yes! That's it! I didn't expect you to know about cars, too." Maori Kogoro patted his head and said, "Look, even rich people like this come here to eat sushi. It wouldn't be embarrassing for us to go there, right?"
Seeing that Mao Lilan was about to be persuaded, Edogawa Conan immediately said: "If you want to eat sushi, we can also go to another place. We have been to this place several times!"
Maori Kogoro said, "Does anyone else drive a luxury car just to eat here?"
Conan Edogawa: ...Who knows what's wrong with Gin? Sushi is available everywhere, but why does he have to eat here?!
"Okay, it's settled. Let's go downstairs." Maori Kogoro stood up, straightened his collar, and said, "Let's see what this luxury car owner ordered. We'll have the same meal as him."
Seeing that her father had made his decision, Mao Lilan followed him out.
When the two were about to go out, Edogawa Conan immediately ran over and hugged Maori Kogoro's calf, saying, "I suddenly want to eat the sandwich made by Mr. Amuro. Let's go to Poirot for dinner!"
Kogoro Mouri said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so troublesome, kid? One moment you want a big meal, and the next moment you want a sandwich." He took out a banknote and put it in Conan's hand, "Then go eat by yourself. Or buy it and come to us next door." After that, the two went downstairs, turned left, and walked into the sushi restaurant.
Conan Edogawa was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurried to the Poirot Cafe to find Toru Amuro.
He opened the door and called out, "Mr. Amuro!"
The customers in the store looked at him one after another.
Amuro Toru quickly came over, gave him a look, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Conan. What do you want to eat today?"
Edogawa Conan put on a fake smile and said, "A ham sandwich, please."
"Okay. Please wait."
Conan Edogawa did not sit in the booth, but followed Amuro Toru to the island, lay on the platform, pretending to watch Amuro Toru cook, but actually whispered: "Did you see the car outside?"
"I saw it a long time ago." Amuro Toru said calmly, "I also saw Gin and Vodka get off the car and go to the sushi restaurant."
"Then why didn't you inform me?" Conan Edogawa asked anxiously.
Amuro Toru glanced up at him, then lowered his head to continue making his sandwich. "What good would that do to you? Would I have you rush down here? Run right into his gun?" He spread the sauce evenly with his hands. "If you rush in front of him, you'll be exposed. He's very sensitive to people's emotions."
Edogawa Conan frowned and asked, "Why do you think he came here?"
Amuro Toru fiddled with the side dishes and said, "Maybe they're just here to eat, so there's no need to be too nervous."
"But uncle and Xiaolan have already gone to the sushi restaurant, I'm a little worried." Edogawa Conan urged, "Hurry up, I want to go and watch them."
Amuro Toru paused, looked up at him and said, "Do you think Gin is a murderer?"
Edogawa Conan looked back in confusion, with a look in his eyes that said "Isn't it?"
Amuro Toru explained, "No matter how arrogant he is, he wouldn't attack ordinary people in a busy city for no reason. If he kills people over a disagreement, we have to clear out all the shops around here, otherwise there will definitely be witnesses. If that's the case, then the case will be too big for the organization to handle."
When Gin bombed Tokyo Tower, he did so when there were no other tourists inside and helicopters were readily available for escape. Furthermore, only one member of the organization died in the operation. That's why the Metropolitan Police Department was willing to let the matter go for now.
If Gin dared to directly bomb the Tokyo Tower which was full of tourists, he would arrest Gin even if he had to give up his undercover identity.
He also bombed the building and the amusement park remotely, and was not physically present at the scene. He had left himself a way out.
"Gin also has some concerns." said Toru Amuro.
Edogawa Conan felt that Amuro Toru's assessment was correct. While Gin was ruthless, he wasn't completely unsystematic. Back at the amusement park, Gin chose to poison him instead of shooting him, proving that he would proactively avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, even though he knew that Gin would not suddenly attack and kill people, he was still a little worried, afraid that his uncle and Xiaolan would accidentally reveal the news that "Kudo Shinichi is not dead yet." So, after Amuro Toru finished making the sandwich, he immediately ran to the sushi restaurant with the takeaway box.
Amuro Toru watched his hurried back, wiping his hands as he thought: I should go check on the situation later. Mr. Maori is indeed a little worrying.
