Chapter 28

After working in the cafe for a whole day, when it was almost time to get off work, Xingchuan and Ming finally regained some of the feelings of being a waiter in their memories.

Fortunately, I could easily recall the technique of brewing coffee, and I quickly found the feel of it after just two attempts.

As expected, customers who come here are full of praise for the coffee brewed by Xingchuan and Ming.

"Today's sales have increased again. The boss will be very happy when he finds out. As expected, with Mr. Amuro's excellent cooking skills and Hoshikawa's craftsmanship in making drinks, the café's business will definitely get better and better!"

After checking the sales figures on the computer, Azusa Enomoto's mood suddenly became very good, and even the fatigue from a busy day was relieved a lot.

The cafe only has one computer, which is placed next to the cash register, so that Azusa Enomoto can keep accounts and check revenue every day. As the only clerk in the store with the least leave and the most stable attendance, she is also responsible for managing the accounts.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki was sorting out the cooking utensils. When he heard Azusa Enomoto's joy, he curiously came over to take a look, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Azusa Enomoto.

"No, Xingchuan, please don't go near this computer. If it breaks down again and you take it to be repaired, it will take at least a day to get it back, and it will be very troublesome for me to sort out the accounts."

Xingchuan Heming then remembered that he had a strange physical condition that made him the nemesis of electronic products, and he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.

"What's wrong? Did the computer suddenly break down? I happen to have some experience in repairing computers."

Upon hearing this, Toru Amuro, who was arranging the dishes, came over immediately. He looked eager to try, as if as long as Azusa Enomoto nodded, he would rush over to fix the computer.

Azusa Enomoto quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, it's not broken yet. I just told Hoshikawa not to get close to the computer, so as not to damage it."

Amuro Toru was even more puzzled: "Is there any inevitable connection between the two?"

In the end, Xingchuan and Ming explained helplessly: "It's actually my physical condition. I don't know why, but whenever I use electronic products frequently, they always break down for no apparent reason. It's probably because there's a mismatch between me and electronic products."

"...all electronic products?" Amuro Toru looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki in surprise.

Xingchuan and Ming also nodded and said, "Yes, at least that's what it looks like now."

"Oh, I see." Amuro Toru nodded, looking thoughtful.

Hoshikawa and Ming were a little surprised by Amuro Toru's reaction when he found out about this.

If other people heard that there was such a strange physique, they would either find it interesting or express disbelief. But I had never met someone who was so thoughtful as him before.

At this moment, the phone at the cashier counter suddenly rang. This was the landline of the cafe, which was usually used by Azusa Enomoto to communicate about matters such as purchasing and delivery.

It's just that it's already time to get off work, and no one should call me at this time.

Azusa Enomoto guessed, "Could it be that the boss called to ask about sales?" At the same time, he reached out to answer the phone in a panic.

However, after only one sentence, she handed the phone to Xingchuan and Ming. At the same time, she whispered with some worry:

"But don't let the phone break, or it will be very troublesome to contact the delivery person."

Amuro Toru couldn't help laughing when seeing this.

Xingchuan and Ming took the microphone: "Moximoxi?"

However, the voice that came from the other end of the phone was actually Date Kou's voice: "Hishikawa? Why didn't you answer the phone? I was so scared that I was still worried that something had happened to you."

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

Hoshikawa and Ming were about to say something stupid like "I'm on the phone right now," but then they suddenly realized that Date Kou was probably talking about their own cell phones.

He took out his old cell phone from his trouser pocket and pressed it, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, Ida-sama, for making you worry. But I can't help it. I didn't expect the phone to break down so quickly this time."

Hoshikawa Kazuaki only knew from his memory that he was the nemesis of electronic products. This was the first time he personally experienced the power of his unique physique.

As far as I can remember, it had been less than a week since I last had my cell phone repaired, and this old-fashioned but very durable model of phone stopped working again.

No wonder I never put my phone in my pocket before, but put it directly on the shelf far away from me. It turns out that it was to extend the usage period.

"So, Brother Ida, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xingchuan and Ming asked quickly, so as to avoid breaking the coffee shop's phone if they kept talking for too long.

"I just want to tell you, don't leave in a hurry after get off work, wait for me to pick you up."

"Hey? Didn't you say that you would probably work overtime tonight and let me... ahem, let me go with my colleagues?" Xingchuan Heming almost let the cat out of the bag, and hurried over to correct it while Ida Kou didn't hear clearly.

After all, Ida Kou had emphasized many times before that I should not go out alone. But I really didn't want to trouble others because of such a small matter.

He had secretly planned in his mind that if Ida Hang didn't come after get off work, he would go back alone.

"I knew you would want to go home alone, so I just finished my work early and came to pick you up. I'm almost there now. The area around here is a little unsafe recently, so you'd better wait for me to pick you up."

As they were talking, Xingchuan and Ming could already hear the sound of a car engine in the microphone.

After Hoshikawa and Akira put down the phone as if it were a fragile item, Amuro Toru suddenly asked:

"Could it be that Xingchuan is involved in a murder case where the murderer is targeting you and has never been caught?"

Hoshikawa Kazuaki was just stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised. Instead, Enomoto Azusa looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki in surprise, and then asked Amuro Toru worriedly:

"Why do you say that, Mr. Amuro?"

"I need to be accompanied by a friend on my way to and from get off work, and in the morning, Officer Date, a police officer, reminds me not to go out alone. In this case, in addition to suffering from certain diseases, the most likely reason is that I was caught up in a case and became a target of the criminal."

Seeing Enomoto Azusa looking at the receiver suspiciously again, Amuro Toru laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Ms. Xiaozi. It's not that the call was leaked. I just deduced this from the conversation between Hoshikawa and Officer Ida this morning and what Hoshikawa said just now. However, since that officer is with you now, we don't have to worry about Hoshikawa's safety."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Dahang pushed the door open and walked in.

Amuro Toru still had his standard professional smile on his face, and Date Kou didn't even glance at him, but walked straight towards Hoshikawa Kazuaki.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki noticed that Date Kou was holding a somewhat old computer bag in his hand, and it looked very familiar.

"So, Brother Ida came all the way here just to give me a laptop?"

"There's nothing left to check in the technical department, so please let me bring it to you."

Datehang pushed the computer bag to Hoshikawa Kazuaki and urged:

"Hurry up, I have to pick up Natalie after I drop you off. Oh, that's the girlfriend I told you about."

Xingchuan and Ming were about to make fun of the smell of cigarettes on the computer bag, but they immediately shut up when they heard it and speeded up their work.

Just kidding, if I missed the date between the squad leader of the police academy and his girlfriend to see the world famous painting because of me, my reputation in the forum would definitely go down to negative points.

So five minutes later, Hoshikawa and Akira successfully got into Date Kou's favorite car and drove away without a trace of dust.

Thanks to Date Kou for obeying the traffic laws and not learning the fantasy driving skills of his peers who either jumped over bridges or drove their cars onto walls. Even when rushing, Date Kou's car was still stable.

At the same time, Xingchuan and Ming also noticed that he was looking at the signs of roadside shops intentionally or unintentionally along the way.

"Brother Ida, what store are you looking for?"

"Ah, did you find out?"

It was rare that Date Kou actually looked a little shy, but he still answered without disguising himself:

"I actually wanted to buy some pastries to bring back for Natalie as a midnight snack. So I wanted to look for a dessert shop that was still open at this time. But it seems that it is difficult to find one."

"You two have such a good relationship!" Xingchuan and Ming sighed, and then he suggested enthusiastically:

"It just so happens that I often enjoyed eating pastries during my recovery period, so I am very familiar with the dessert shops near my home. I remember there was one that was open very late, and it should not be closed yet."

Yi Dahang's eyes lit up, and he quickly urged Xingchuan and Ming to show him the way, and then suddenly increased the speed of the car.

Xingchuan Heming had a bitter face. He now just wanted to take back his previous comment on Date Kou's steady driving.

When they arrived at the place, the dessert shop that Xingchuan and Ming remembered was still open.

Date Ko went in alone to pick out pastries, while Hoshikawa and Akira stayed on the side of the road, enjoying the evening breeze to relieve the discomfort caused by speeding.

In his hand he was still holding the computer bag that Date Ko had returned.

He had smelled a strong scent of fresh cigarettes on it before, and he didn't want to bring the smell home, so now was a good opportunity to blow some air out of it to get rid of the smell.

Just when Hoshikawa and Akira were thinking about how to reject Date Ko's escort plan tomorrow, a passerby who was passing by suddenly raised his fist and punched Hoshikawa and Akira in the face.

Fortunately, Xingchuan Heming's body had previously learned the basics of fighting, and even before he could figure out a countermeasure, he was able to make the appropriate evasive action in time.

At this moment, another pedestrian suddenly reached out from the side, and this time his target was no longer Xingchuan and Ming's noses, but the computer bags in Xingchuan and Ming's arms.

Could it be that they are a duo who are here to rob?

Xingchuan Heming was feeling depressed and his movements began to lack strength.

After all, he had just suffered a serious illness. Although he has recovered now, he still needs careful recuperation and his body is far from recovering to its previous condition.

The previous move had already cost him a lot of energy. If he didn't finish it next, he was afraid he would really crash here.

The next moment, Date Ko's voice came from the direction of the dessert shop behind him.

"Stop it! How dare you rob people in the street?"

Hoshikawa and Ming were immediately cheered up, thinking that Date Kou had arrived at the right time.

However, Xingchuan Heming was not expecting him to come and help him out, but it suddenly occurred to him that he could use this opportunity of a fair fight to let Yi Daxing realize that his fighting ability was actually quite good.

This way, he could make up an excuse for other reasons and he wouldn't have to run back and forth so hard every day.

Seeing that Date Kou was about to arrive here, at this moment, Hoshikawa Heming suddenly came up with a very practical move in his mind.

Without thinking, he first punched the robber's weak spot, then used his skillful grappling with the opponent's joints to directly turn around and bend the opponent's arm backwards, pinning him to the ground.

At this time, the other robber had also been subdued by Yi Dahang using the same method.

Xingchuan and Ming stood up panting.

Although the overly strenuous exercise made his body very tired, he was still satisfied with his performance.

Looking up, Hoshikawa and Akira were even more satisfied when they saw that Date Kou had an obvious expression of surprise when he looked at them.

However, Date Kou's next words left Hoshikawa and Ming stunned.

He was surprised and asked:

"Xingchuan, who taught you the police arrest technique you just used?"
