Chapter 3339 3351 [The Cat Hitchhiking]
Dr. Agasa wanted to persuade him again, but Conan stopped him: Haibara Ai's worries are reasonable. Although Gin and Vodka are unlikely to be so idle as to go shopping in the mall - but what if?
"If I remember correctly, these two guys once went to the amusement park to observe before a transaction. What if they try the same trick again this time and try to use this tall building as a lookout point, then run into us in the elevator on their way upstairs?"
"That would be troublesome. On the other hand, if Haibara sleeps in the car, she won't run into those two guys again. Gin and Vodka probably wouldn't even look at an ordinary car."
Conan originally wanted to explain to Dr. Agasa like this, but when he saw Jiang Xia next to him, he didn't dare to tell him about the Black Organization.
Fortunately, Dr. Agasa’s advantage is that he doesn’t like to ask too many questions. Seeing that Conan and Jiang Xia had no intention of forcing Haibara Ai out, the old doctor didn’t say much.
After giving some instructions to Huibara Ai through the window, he left the underground parking lot with the other two and took the elevator upstairs.
In the car.
As the footsteps faded away, Haibara Ai lay down on the chair, her hand on her hot forehead, and gently exhaled a breath of hot air.
She did not feel nervous about being alone, but rather felt more relaxed than before - she was actually more worried about others being implicated than being discovered by the organization alone.
"This illness came at the worst possible time." Haibara Ai was somewhat helpless about her body failing at the crucial moment. "When I should be staying at home, I have to run around outside... I hope the god of luck will bless me for once and not let me encounter those terrible guys."
As she was muttering to herself, she suddenly heard a rustling sound in her ear, as if a living creature was moving in the car.
"?!" She was startled, sat up suddenly, and grabbed the anesthetic needle in her pocket.
Then, turning around following the sound, I saw a familiar-looking cat crawl out from under the passenger seat, stand up, and shake its fur gracefully.
After smoothing out its slightly messy black and white fur, the dark cloud snow cat raised its face and looked at her.
"It's you." Huiyuan Ai's expression softened. She bent down and held the cat on her lap. "You scared me. Come to think of it, why did you hide in the car again? - Don't go to places like this in the future. It's too dangerous."
Although she said that, Haibara Ai had no intention of opening the car door and letting the cat out - this was an underground parking lot, the place where it was most likely to be bumped into.
"Let's put it down when we get home." Huiyuan Ai planned in her mind, holding the soft cat in her arms with confidence and falling back into her seat. "By the way, let it have something to eat. I just learned a new way to make cat food."
…
"Is Xiao Ai okay in the car?"
In the elevator, Dr. Agasa felt a little worried, but soon, the rumbling sound of his stomach forced his thoughts back to the present.
Dr. Agasa touched his stomach and said, "I think Ai is hungry too. Let's quickly buy some scrambled egg porridge and bring it back to the car for her to try."
Jiang Xia pressed the button for the floor where the food court was located, and the elevator started moving quickly.
Not long after, the elevator door opened, and a busy corridor appeared in front of the three people.
They walked down the elevator with other passengers and looked at the store in front of them.
"Kyoto-style ramen, Western food, Italian food, Chinese food... Hmm? What kind of restaurant is that? There's such a long line!"
Without looking for too long, Dr. Agasa's attention was drawn to the super long queue that stretched for dozens of meters.
Jiang Xia glanced at the name of the shop: "Zun Ya Ting... Looks like this is the shop that sells scrambled egg porridge. It's really famous."
As he spoke, he stood in the team.
Conan looked back and forth at the team twice in a daze and estimated the number of people.
After a moment, he walked over to Jiang Xia and backed off a bit: "This line is too long."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just that I have to kill two hours before I can see the doctor? It's easier to queue here than to wander around."
Conan: "..." But why do I feel that this long line will not end even after two hours? Unless the customer ahead can't stand the long wait and chooses to give up.
While thinking, Conan looked forward, trying to see which customers had good potential to give up queuing.
As he looked around, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.
"Hmm?" Conan poked Jiang Xia, "Look ahead—aren't those the Porsche owners we just met?"
Jiang Xia took a look.
The time when the two sides left was actually not much different, so the four people were now lined up less than two meters ahead of them.
At this moment, the driver of the silver Porsche suddenly remembered something and dug into his pockets: "Oh no, I think I forgot my phone in the car."
He said to his companions, "I'm going back to the car to look for my phone. You guys wait in line first. If I'm in line before I get back, you guys can go in. Don't worry about me."
As he said that, he quickly ran towards the elevator.
Conan watched him leave. At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind: "Jiang Xia!"
"?" Conan turned around and saw three other familiar figures behind him - Ran Mouri, Suzuki Sonoko and Judy.
These three people obviously came for the scrambled egg porridge at Zun Ya Ting. They joined the queue very naturally and stood right behind Jiang Xia.
Conan looked at them in surprise: "..." They just went out together a few days ago. How come these three are together again so soon?
And if I remember correctly, wasn't Xiaolan suspicious of Teacher Judy? Why was she...
Before Conan could think about it, a shadow rushed over, stopped next to Jiang Xia, and instantly bounced Conan away.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Jiang Xia, then at the long line in front of her, and said happily, "You guys come and have some scrambled egg porridge too."
Jiang Xia nodded: "This store is very popular recently."
"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko pointed at Mao Li Ran, "Ran said that you and Xiao Ai both have colds, and she planned to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients to make medicinal porridge for you. Then I thought, why not just take away this shop's scrambled egg porridge! In the reviews of previous diners, some people said that their scrambled egg porridge is hot and healthy. After a few mouthfuls, the cold is almost healed."
Mao Lilan nodded and smiled sheepishly, "Although that evaluation is a bit exaggerated, but after looking at the ingredient list they published, this porridge is indeed very nutritious..."
As she was talking, she remembered something and quickly pointed at Judy next to her: "Yuanzi wanted Teacher Judy to taste authentic Japanese food before returning home, so she invited her to come along."
