Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

Hearing what Jouno Taro said, Enomoto Azusa shrugged and didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was indeed a business secret.

After Enomoto Azusa's inquiry was rejected, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Enomoto Azusa silently cooked pasta and brought a portion to Jouno Taro, and the two of them buried their heads in eating.

"By the way, Miss Xiao Azusa, when are you going to take the statement?" Jouno Taro found a topic to break the silence.

"Hmm?" Enomoto Azusa was stunned for a moment, thought about it and replied, "I plan to go on my day off."

Poirot Cafe takes a few days off every month. After all, there is only Enomoto Azusa as a formal employee in the store. Although there are occasionally college students who come to work part-time, they are not professional after all.

Jouno Taro smiled and made a suggestion, "Since there are not many customers today, I will take care of the store in the afternoon. Miss Xiao Azusa, you can take this opportunity to take the statement."

Enomoto Azusa was stunned again when she heard this. She didn't expect Jouno Taro to be so reasonable and allow her to handle such matters on weekdays.

She looked worried, but Taro Jouno quickly saw her concerns and smiled and comforted her: "Go, this is also part of the clerk's job. You should rest well on your days off and don't make yourself too tired."

Azusa Enomoto was moved and finally nodded, "Since you said so, I'll go. But, is it really okay for you to run the store alone?"

Taro Jouno laughed awkwardly. It was impossible to say that it was completely okay. After all, no matter before the time travel or the original body, he was not a barista. "Well, although I'm not an expert, watching the process of making coffee, I feel that the basic operation should not be difficult. Isn't it just based on espresso, adding some milk or water?"

"..." Azusa Enomoto rolled her eyes speechlessly when she heard the words of Taro Jouno, a layman, "Manager, don't let other baristas hear you, otherwise they will definitely have a debate with you."

"Really? But I think it looks quite simple." Taro Jouno was a little puzzled.

"There is a lot of knowledge involved. For example, although both latte and cappuccino have espresso, milk and milk foam, the amount of milk foam determines what kind of coffee they are, and the taste is completely different." Enomoto Azusa explained patiently.

"Is that so?" Only then did Jouno Taro realize that coffee making was much more complicated than he had imagined.

Jouno Taro nodded, with an awkward but polite smile on his face, "It seems that I am an outsider. I will have to learn more from you in the future, Mr. Xiao Azusa."

Enomoto Azusa was amused, "Manager, you are too polite. Let's learn from each other. However, are you really sure you want to run the store alone? If you encounter something you don't understand, remember to call me."

"Don't worry, I'm not a child, I can handle it." Jouno Taro patted his chest and assured.

After dinner, Enomoto Azusa simply packed up and prepared to take notes.

Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Taro Jouno a few words, "Manager, remember to call me when there are customers, and don't break the coffee machine."

"I know, I know, you go quickly." Taro Jouno waved his hand impatiently.

Looking at the back of Azusa Enomoto leaving, Taro Jouno couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Although he said it was okay, he was actually still unsure. After all, he knew nothing about coffee making, and if he encountered any emergency, he really didn't know what to do.

However, since he had already promised Azusa Enomoto, Taro Jouno decided to bite the bullet. He walked behind the bar and carefully observed the operation interface of the coffee machine, trying to remember the function of each button.

Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Taro Jouno was startled and looked at the door nervously. A man in a suit walked in, looking like he was here to discuss business.

"Welcome." Taro Jouno greeted calmly.

The man smiled and nodded, walked to the bar and sat down, "Excuse me, do you have any recommended coffee here?"

Taro Jouno's heart skipped a beat, how could he know what recommended coffee there was? However, he quickly calmed down and decided to go for the killer move, "We have a new coffee bean here, and the lonely caramel latte made from it is very popular. Now it is in the recommended period, and there is a half-price discount. Do you want to try it?"

The half-price discount obviously touched the man, "Then let's have a cup of lonely caramel latte, what a strange name."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Taro Jouno said, and began to operate the coffee machine in a hurry. He followed the steps in his memory, first grinding the coffee powder and making espresso, then squeezing caramel sauce into the bottom of the cup, adding espresso, and finally adding the whipped milk foam.

Although the process was a bit bumpy, fortunately the last cup lookedThe caramel latte that looked pretty good was finally out, but the caramel pattern on top was a little ugly.

Taro Jouno took a long breath and brought the coffee to the man, "Please enjoy."

The man didn't care much about the latte art. He took a sip of the coffee and then fell into deep thought, "The taste is okay, but I always feel an indescribable feeling."

Hearing this, Taro Jouno finally felt relieved. Although my skills are not good, the material is special. He smiled and reminded: "Think about its name again."

The man suddenly realized, "Yes, after drinking this coffee, I feel lonely and desolate. It's really wonderful."

Taro Jouno was happy and began to promote his coffee with all his strength, "If you like it, come often, and introduce it to your friends. Even the murderer praised my coffee."

The man was stunned for a moment, "Murderer?"

"Yes, there was a murder here yesterday." Taro Jouno didn't hide anything and simply told what happened yesterday.

"What?!" The man looked at the coffee in front of him in surprise, and was puzzled by Jyouno Taro's self-exposure. "Why are you telling me this? Shouldn't ordinary stores avoid such things?"

"Hehe, my store is not an ordinary store." Jyouno Taro explained with a smile: "My store is named after a great detective. It's normal for a detective to encounter a case?"

"I see." The man smiled and said nothing more. He finished his coffee and paid the bill and left.

After leaving the cafe, the man found a hidden corner, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to a number with an empty note:

[Today's information: There is a "Poro Cafe" in Beika-cho 2-chome, which has launched a very magical coffee - "Lonely Caramel Latte". After drinking it, you feel lonely and desolate. The manager said that even the murderer praised it for its taste. 】

This information was passed down layer by layer, and finally fell into the hands of a man wearing a black windbreaker, a black hat, and long silver hair.

Looking at the information about the Poirot Cafe in his hand, Gin's face darkened instantly, and he couldn't help but snorted.

The black-clad burly man sitting in the driver's seat turned his head with a puzzled look: "Brother, what happened?"

Gin glared at Vodka unhappily: "Drive your car properly! Today's peripheral members are getting more and more unreliable. They even report the information about a new coffee in a cafe. We need to give them a good beating!"
