Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

"Let's choose this 'clown'. Is this guy from the United States?" asked Taro Jouno thoughtfully.

"Yes, I searched the other party's registration location on the Internet. It is said that it is a place with simple folk customs and outstanding people." Xiaobai said while operating the account of "clown". Soon, this long-forgotten account changed its owner.

"Can I accept the task now? How are bounty hunter tasks usually released?" Taro Jouno was a little curious.

Xiaobai explained: "Most tasks are posted on special online platforms or dark webs. The publisher will explain the task content, requirements and bounty amount in detail. Bounty hunters can choose the appropriate task to accept according to their abilities and interests."

"I understand. List the tasks in Japan for me, preferably in the Tokyo area." Taro Jouno was too lazy to select them himself, so he asked Xiaobai to do it directly.

Xiaobai responded and immediately listed dozens of related tasks, and carefully classified them.

Taro Jouno began to pick and choose. First, he eliminated the dangerous tasks of murder and arson, then skipped the troublesome tasks of protecting others. In the end, only intelligence gathering and arresting bounty-bearing people were left.

He first looked at the intelligence gathering tasks, but soon gave up. Those tasks were either to investigate the secrets of large conglomerates or to collect evidence of crimes of violent societies. He was really not very interested.

So, the last thing left was the task of arresting bounty-bearing people.

As soon as he opened the bounty list, Taro Jouno unexpectedly found an "acquaintance" - Kaito Kid.

Provide identity information, the reward is 15 million yen; arrest and hand over to the police, it is as high as 50 million yen.

Seeing this, Taro Jouno's eyes lit up. He was very familiar with Kaito Kid. There are three generations of Kaito Kid. The first generation is Kuroba Toichi, the second generation is Kuroba Toichi's butler, and the third generation is Kuroba Kaito, the son of Kuroba Toichi.

Although Kuroba Toichi has disappeared, there are still two Kaito Kidd active. If you catch any of them, you can get 50 million yen. This deal is really worthwhile.

Moreover, with Kaito Kidd's skills, he will definitely be able to escape from the police, and maybe he can "harvest" the bonus repeatedly. Thinking of this, Jionno Taro wanted to set off for Ekoda immediately.

But on second thought, he calmed down again. Kaito Kidd's methods are not covered. He has only acquired his abilities for less than a day. Except for fire control, everything else is related to magic.

The other party, one old and one young, are both outstanding in the magic world. He was just showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong. Apart from making people laugh, he would not gain anything at all.

Thinking of this, Jionno Taro suddenly lost interest in looking at other bounties. After all, who can have a bounty but has not been arrested yet is easy to mess with?

He decided to hide for a while, get involved in murder cases around Edogawa Conan, and improve his emotional armed level first.

He stretched out his right hand, focused his attention, and a flame ignited from the palm of his hand. Under his efforts to control it, the flame slowly moved to the top of his index finger.

Looking at the small flame that could go out at any time, Jionno Taro couldn't help but start to imagine: If one day, this small flame can turn into a raging fire, he will first use the "Orochi Nagi" move, and then the "Dustless" move, and even Kaito Kidd will have to admit defeat!

…

At 12 noon the next day, Jionno Taro suddenly woke up and found that he had overslept.

Last night, he was too devoted to practicing the ability to control fire, and he fell into a drowsy sleep until midnight. And this ability to control fire is quite mentally exhausting. He fell into a deep sleep a second after lying on the bed, and even the alarm clock in the morning couldn't wake him up.

He hurriedly washed his face, picked up the coffee beans that Xiaobai had processed next to him and walked out. When he arrived at the Polo Coffee Shop, it was already 12:30.

"Manager, good afternoon." As soon as he entered the door, he saw Azusa Enomoto greet him with a depressed face.

"Uh, sorry, I overslept." Jouno Taro apologized insincerely, and then quickly changed the subject, "Miss Azusa, how was the business this morning?"

When Azusa Enomoto heard this, the depressed look on her face became even stronger, "Very bad, except for a few regular customers, almost no one came. I guess it's because the murder that happened yesterday hasn't passed yet, and everyone is avoiding it."

Jouno Taro was not surprised by this. Although Poirot Cafe is named after a detective, not many ordinary people know the meaning behind this name. Most people treat it as an ordinary cafe.

A murder happened in the store. Normal people would definitely choose to avoid it to avoid bad luck.

"Well,Then I will play the role of a customer today and try Miss Xiaozi's cooking skills. I'm still hungry now. "Jiono Taro grinned, knowing that the two plague gods living upstairs were not easy to deal with, and he had already prepared himself mentally.

Especially that Edogawa Conan, who was simply a big plague god. With him, he and Enomoto Azusa were lucky to be safe and sound. As for the customers, he didn't care if ten or eight died.

"Okay, I'm hungry too, is pasta okay?" Enomoto Azusa readily agreed to the proposal of his store manager, after all, it was time for dinner.

"Sure, prepare another cup of lonely caramel latte for me." Jiono Taro handed the bag of coffee beans in his hand to Enomoto Azusa.

"Manager, where did you buy these coffee beans? The coffee tastes really special. "Azusa Enomoto took the coffee beans and asked curiously.

A month ago, Taro Jouno took over the coffee shop. Azusa Enomoto didn't care too much at first. After all, it was just a change of boss. As long as it didn't affect her work, it would be fine. However, the special coffee beans brought by Taro Jouno caught her attention.

As a junior barista, Azusa Enomoto has a certain understanding of coffee beans. The coffee beans brought by Taro Jouno have nothing special in appearance, and are even a bit ordinary, but the coffee made after grinding has a unique flavor.

So far, Taro Jouno has brought three magical coffee beans.

The first kind of black coffee, in addition to the conventional fragrance, sweetness, mellowness, sourness and bitterness, also has an indescribable bitterness, which makes people involuntarily fall into contemplation and recall the various aspects of life.

Unfortunately, not many people love to drink black coffee. Although this kind of beans is deeply loved by Azusa Enomoto, the sales are not satisfactory.

The second kind of coffee The beans are even more magical. The latte made with them can make people feel drowsy.

At first, Azusa Enomoto thought that Taro Jouno added sleeping pills to the latte to increase sales, but after she personally washed the coffee beans, made them and tasted them, she had to admit the magic of these coffee beans.

However, this effect is not popular with most coffee consumers who seek a refreshing effect.

The third type of coffee beans was launched by Taro Jouno after learning from the experience of the first two types. The caramel latte made with this coffee bean will give the drinker a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Azusa Enomoto was also very surprised by this, but she is no longer surprised by such things now.

But the fate of this new coffee is quite bumpy. Just the second day after it was put on the shelves, it encountered a murder case, and both the murderer and the deceased drank this coffee. Azusa Enomoto kept muttering in her heart, this won’t be a bad omen.

"Hehe, this, but it’s my business secret. "Jiono Taro rejected Enomoto Azusa's inquiry without hesitation. After all, these coffee beans were made by Xiaobai with emotional particles. Even if she was told the source of the raw materials, she would not be able to make that special taste.
