Chapter 85

Ryo Nagata once brought back news about Hoshikawa Kazuaki!

Everyone present was shocked.

Nagata Ryo resigned three years ago, right? That was also the time when Hoshikawa and Akira left the orphanage and went to high school in Beika City.

They never imagined that Ryo Nagata, who had been secretly monitoring Hoshikawa and Akira, would come back here again just to bring back a message after knowing that the other party had left.

What serious news could that be?

The chef raised a finger in front of him, smiled mysteriously at them, and said:

"I heard from him that Xingchuan and Ming felt that they were being dragged down by the orphanage, so they wanted to sever ties with the orphanage!"

"Crunch"

Suddenly, there was a sound from under the table, as if the crossbeam of the table was breaking.

The chef looked around in confusion, but saw that the people sitting at the table all had unchanged expressions, as if they had not done anything like breaking the beam.

When Maori Kogoro heard this so-called "news", he immediately burst into laughter, and then said confidently in a tone that showed he had seen through the other party's trick:

"I knew that this Nagata Ryo must have seen the development potential of Hoshikawa and Akira and wanted to get some benefits from him. But he was afraid that the welfare home would snatch it from him, so he used this statement to alienate the relationship between Hoshikawa and Akira and the welfare home.

As long as the welfare home believes his words and the relationship with Xingchuan and Ming becomes bad, then all the benefits of Xingchuan and Ming will belong to him, Nagata Ryo? Hahaha..."

Several people present suddenly began to cough violently.

The chef suddenly understood:

"Is that really the case? That's terrible. The welfare home is now... I mean, could it be that Ryo Nagata has taken over?"

The coughing of several people became more intense.

Mao Lilan thought they were coughing because of dry throats, so she quickly took the kettle from the shelf not far away and looked around for some cups.

Seeing this, the chef bent down and took out a large box from the drawer. Inside was a dozen or so teacups that were exactly the same as the simple teacups he used.

"Come on, drink some water to moisten your throat. I was so busy chatting that I forgot to pour you a glass of water."

As he spoke, he distributed the teacups, which had obviously just been unpacked, to everyone.

At this time, Conan, who had been lying on the table without saying a word, noticed that the label on the box was still new, but the number of teacups did not match the number of grids in the box, so he asked curiously:

"Uncle, are there a few teacups missing from this box?"

The chef looked at Conan in surprise and praised:

"What a clever kid! Yes, these are the teacups I just bought yesterday. But right after I opened them and before I could use them, Sakai took away three of them."

After saying that, he pinched the rim of the cup with his fingers and turned it a few times before taking a sip.

Conan watched his movements, and suddenly pointed at the simple teacup in the chef's hand and asked:

"Uncle, why do you keep turning that teacup?

The chef put down the cup and said with a smile:

"I learned this from Sakai. I can't let him take my teacup for nothing, right?"

As he was talking, the chef's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and took a look, then suddenly realized:

"It's already this late? Well, I won't chat with you anymore. It's almost lunch time. I have to go prepare in advance."

Having said that, he put away the teacup and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that the other party finally left, Xingchuan Heming immediately jumped up from his seat next to Date Kou and limped back to his chair.

In order to prevent the chef from noticing his appearance, he had to curl up his legs and huddle behind Ida Hang to block the chef's sight. He was so tired that his whole body ached. At this moment, he lay on the table and didn't want to move at all.

Soon, children came into the cafeteria one after another, and it seemed that they had just returned from the study room. Then, a welfare worker who looked like a teacher came in, and when he passed by the children, he smiled and said hello to them. It seemed that the teachers and students got along very well.

Seeing that people were starting to enter the cafeteria, Maori Kogoro sat up straight immediately:

"It's almost noon. Is my fan coming here soon?"

As he spoke, he quickly adjusted his clothes and hairstyle, and after he stopped, he immediately looked full of energy.

His voice was not small, and immediately attracted the attention of the teachers and students at the table next to him. The young man who took the initiative to speak first looked at Maori Kogoro's outfit with great interest, and then said to the adult man sitting next to him:

"Mr. Inoue, this is the first time I've seen an uncle who likes to dress up more than you do!"

The man called Inoue pretended to be angry and said:

"What do you know? This is called the charm of a mature man. This kind of profound thing is not something that a little kid like you who can't even express his feelings clearly can understand."

The boy's face froze, and he immediately retorted in panic:

"Teacher Inoue, how did you know? No, no, we were just fooling around last night, we weren't really saying goodbye... Wait, what are you talking about, Teacher Inoue? I'm not stuttering, okay? I'm super handsome!"

Seeing that the boy was still not convinced, Mr. Inoue waved his hand and shouted to the other man at the next table:

"Hey! Bei Dao, come on, tell me, did we hear everything yesterday? This guy is obviously a guy who can't even confess his love. He is not as handsome as he said."

When Xingchuan, Ming and others heard the name "Bei Dao", they all became alert and turned to look over.

A man who looked much younger than the other employees turned around when he heard the words. His movements were slow and he blinked too quickly. Even when he was joking with an acquaintance, he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face.

Although the employee named Inoue dressed himself up very smartly, it was obvious that he did not get enough rest last night. Even his voice sounded soft when he was joking with the people around him.

Mao Lilan looked over there and couldn't help muttering to herself:

"It's the same as Ms. Arimori..."

Conan heard her words and couldn't help asking:

"Sister Xiaolan, what's the difference?"

"It's concealer, huh? They're using concealer to cover up dark circles, just like Ms. Arimori. But maybe they didn't moisturize their skin enough and didn't apply it evenly enough, which resulted in inconsistent skin tones. Some of the white areas have started to turn pink."

After hearing what Mouri Ran said, Conan looked at the three people and suddenly became thoughtful.

At this moment, someone shouted, "The vice president is here!"

Then, the originally noisy cafeteria suddenly became quiet. Soon, the serious deputy director, whom I had met when I first arrived at the welfare home, walked in under the gaze of everyone.

She walked to the middle of the cafeteria and stood there, looking around. When her eyes scanned Xingchuan, Ming and others, she paused for two seconds before speaking to the people in the welfare home:

"We have several guests at the welfare home today, and the director will be here soon. Everyone, please look at each other. Is there any teacher or student who is not here yet?"

Some people secretly looked at Xingchuan and Ming and the others with curiosity, while others were carefully counting the number of people.

"Huh? It seems, it seems that Mr. Sakai didn't come today."

"What's going on? Isn't Mr. Sakai always the most enthusiastic eater?"

"Did you forget to check the time again?"

Upon seeing this, the Vice President spoke directly:

"Go call someone!"

"yes!"

Someone hurried out of the cafeteria and ran towards the staff dormitory.

The vice-president still stood in the middle of the cafeteria with a stern face, looking dignified and imposing.

The rest of the kids sat quietly in their seats, but were actually kicking their feet under the table.

The employees were winking at each other, and some even lowered their heads and covered their mouths to laugh, but the serious-looking vice-president was completely unaware of this.

Hoshikawa, Ming and Kagano Satoshi looked at each other, and they both felt a strong scientific aura blowing towards them.

Satoshi Kagino: Not only is he not active in eating, but he's also just showing off his authority. Why does it look like something bad is about to happen?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Think about the formation of our gathering here today, two detectives, two policemen, and you as a hacker. So even if someone dies later, I won't be surprised at all.

Kagino Satoshi: Hey! What's wrong with hackers? I've never been involved in a murder case. But you, you went to the murder scene at the beginning, right? If I remember correctly, there was another suspect named Ryo Nagata at the time, right?

Kagino Satoshi looked at Hoshikawa and Akira proudly, but he saw that Hoshikawa and Akira were stunned for a moment, as if they suddenly thought of something, and it seemed that they stopped arguing with him, but touched their chin and began to think with their heads down.

Kagino Satoshi: Hey, Xiaoxing, what’s wrong with you?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: You just reminded me of this. I remember the dead man I met when I first entered the dungeon. He seemed to be the gangster who bullied me.

Kagino Satoshi: So what? Since the other party has bullied you, he must not be a good person. Do you still feel sad or something? Just kidding, don't think I don't know that your gentleness and kindness are all fake. It's good enough that you don't smile and stab me.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: ...You think too much. What I mean is, look at that case, the deceased was a bully. Two of the three suspects were bullied by the deceased, and the other one, Nagata Ryo, was the one who had instructed the bully to bully others.

Kagino Satoshi's eyes lit up: Are you suspecting that the death of Tyrant is likely related to Nagata Ryo? Is it to silence him? To sanction him? Or do you think he is useless, so you just kill his former subordinate?

Hoshikawa and Ming did not answer, but turned to look at Conan who was still in deep thought.

I think the famous detective Edogawa Conan must have thought of what I could think of. After all, he is the son of destiny who can support the operation of the entire scientific world by himself.

At this moment, the boy who had run out to look for someone came back again, but this time, his voice was clearly panicked.

"Help, help! What should I do? I think I saw Mr. Sakai lying on the ground, motionless!"
