Mao Lilan blushed and accepted the rose, "Thank you, Mr. Kurokawa."

Kudo Shinichi had a straight face and seemed a little unhappy.

At this time, a young lady wearing a cherry red kimono came over and greeted Sonoko with a smile: "Hello, Ms. Suzuki, I am Yoko. Nice to meet you."

Suzuki Sonoko quickly said: "Nice to meet you too."

The magician took out a red silk scarf from his coat pocket and gently slid it on his hand. In an instant, a bouquet of red roses appeared in the magician's hand. "Only bright red roses are worthy of you, Miss Yoko." Magician Kurokawa handed the red rose to Miss Yoko's hand.

Yoko happily took the red rose, thanked her gracefully, and reminded the magician Kurokawa, "You should conjure a bouquet of roses for all the girls present."

However, the magician Kurokawa turned around with a grimace, turned all his pockets out, and said helplessly: "I was not well prepared, so I changed without the props."

Yangzi pretended to be angry and said, "Why don't you hurry up and get ready? The performance will start soon."

Magician Kurokawa winked at Yoko playfully and said, "Yes, Miss Yoko, I'll go get ready right now."

After the magician Kurokawa left, Yoko looked at Sonoko with an apology on her face and said, "I'm sorry, how about I show you the backstage? There are many beasts backstage."

Mao Lilan's eyes were bright, "Is it really possible? Isn't this bad?"

"It's okay. This stage is sponsored by my family, so there's no big problem if I show you around. Just don't mess with those magic props. Although I don't know how to use many of the props, Every time I watch Aji perform, I will be very happy." Miss Yoko led everyone backstage.

"Aggie?"

Miss Yoko explained: "The magician you just met is called Kurokawa Yoshi. He will be a very powerful magician. I hope his achievements can surpass Kuroba Toichi."

Mingyue glanced at Yoko who was talking eloquently, and at Kurokawa Yoshi who was preparing props, and thought to herself, it would probably take a hundred years to surpass Kuroba Thione. After looking at the phone, the man wearing gold glasses seemed to have disappeared, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Kudo Shinichi saw that Ming Yue was sometimes paying attention to other places, so he folded his hands behind his head and said, "My parents were invited to the Metropolitan Police Department by Officer Megure early this morning. They said it was because some details needed to be discovered. Ask, so we won’t be followed today, and you don’t have to look for their traces in the crowd.”

Mingyue put away her phone, looked at Kudo Shinichi, and said with a smile: "Oh~ So you didn't find Aunt Yukiko yesterday, you only found out about it later."

Shinichi felt a little annoyed when he thought that he was startled by his mother and father, and then looked at Ming Yue, who was now smiling. Did you lose again this time? Irene is really a woman who makes Holmes feel embarrassed. He turned his head away from Ming Yue's smiling face, but saw Mao Lilan looking at Kurokawa Yoshi with curiosity. Kudo Shinichi's mood suddenly became very unpleasant.

A man wearing animal skins came over carrying several cups of milk tea.

Miss Yoko took the milk tea handed over by the man in animal skin, distributed the milk tea to Sonoko and others, and introduced: "This is the pearl milk tea specially provided for this fireworks display. The name is brilliant. It cannot be drunk elsewhere. , of course this is also a newly developed product of our company.”

Yuanzi shook the milk tea in his hand. The colorful little pearls in the dark milk tea were floating in it, like fireworks in the night sky. The taste in the mouth is clean and refreshing, and different colors of pearls have different tastes.

"What a beautiful milk tea! The taste is also very good!" Mao Lilan held the milk tea in her hands.

The animal-skin man chuckled and said, "The price is also very beautiful, it costs three thousand yen a cup."

"So expensive!" Mao Lilan was very surprised.

Yoko waved her hand, "If you like it, it's worth the price. Please tell me what you think after tasting it, Miss Suzuki."

"Yeah, okay." Yuanzi agreed immediately, even though she knew that the other party meant it as a compliment.

A man wearing clown makeup trotted over, "Miss Yoko, something happened, could you please come over?"

Yoko frowned. She saw a small woman appearing next to the magician Kurokawa. She was a little dissatisfied, but she looked at Sonoko with a smile on her face, "I'm sorry, I have something to excuse me first. You can take a look, our performance will start around one o'clock in the afternoon."

Yuanzi nodded, "You go ahead and take a look around. We're going to go out for a stroll later."

Several people watched Yoko and others go away, then strolled around backstage.

There are many cages in the background with various animals in them. There are also many magic props, including boxes that look like treasure chests, swords that shine with cold light, various boxes, and three or four magic props that are as large as a small room and covered with black cloth. There are more magic props in front of me, but I can't name them, and I don't know how to use them.

Several people are very curious about magic props.

Mingyue was very interested in the magic props that looked like a small room. Looking through the gaps in the black cloth, it seemed to be made of wood, but what kind of magic was being performed in such a big room? I walked around the magic house a few times and couldn't guess it.

While she was thinking, she found the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking towards her. Ming Yue was startled. When did this man appear? It's so elusive and impossible to guard against.

But at this time, Mingyue didn't know what the other party was thinking, so she could only stand still. After all, no one knew that that guy was the blue clown who escaped yesterday. Even if she pointed at him now and said he was the blue clown, there was a high probability that the other party would not admit it. On the contrary, it will alert the enemy.

Mingyue lowered her head and looked at the milk tea in her hand, thinking about it.

The distance between the two is still three meters...

There is still one meter...

There is still half a meter...

It's now!

The man with gold-rimmed glasses had just walked in front of Mingyue, but Mingyue seemed to be startled by the sudden appearance of the man. She accidentally spilled the milk tea in her hand towards the man with gold-rimmed glasses. The man with gold-rimmed glasses ducked aside, but was still thrown away. Some of it reached the body, and more milk tea was spilled on the wooden prop house.

Mingyue quickly apologized and expressed her willingness to compensate. But I was evaluating this man's skills in my heart, it seemed...

[Master, you can’t beat me. 】The voice of the prototype appeared in Mingyue's mind.

【Shut up! 】

The movement on Mingyue's side alerted the friends who were watching animals nearby. They followed the sound and saw Mingyue apologizing to a man wearing gold glasses.

Yuanzi felt that the man in front of her was so handsome, mature and steady, that he might be Mingyue's type, and she seemed to have seen this man walking towards Mingyue just now.

Could it be that this man likes Mingyue! But Mingyue said she has someone she likes, but this man is so handsome!

Yuanzi watched the interaction between Mingyue and the man, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and then froze in the next second. Usually when I meet a handsome guy, Xiaolan is the only one in his eyes. Now there are handsome guys chatting with Mingyue. When will the handsome guys chat with me! ! !

The man with gold-rimmed glasses had a warm smile on his face, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have suddenly appeared next to you and scared you. It's also my fault for being splashed with your milk tea. My name is Suzumiya Yoruichi. Excuse me. What’s your name, smart girl?”

"Mr. Suzumiya, we met by chance and it was not very good to ask my name for the first time. Could it be that you have a crush on me?" Mingyue was not prepared to answer.

Suzumiya Yoruichi smiled and said, "Yes, I have a crush on you. Can we go shopping together? If you spill the milk tea, how about I pay you a cup?"

Alarm bells rang in Mingyue's heart. She couldn't guess what this man was going to do. Wasn't this man afraid that I would call the police? Or tell the police that he is the absconding prisoner? Or he didn't recognize me, or he thought I didn't recognize him?

This man probably also guessed that the police had no evidence to arrest him, so he dared to show up in such a arrogant manner. Mingyue was suddenly very curious about the true identity of the man in front of her. It seemed good to bring such a talent into the organization.

"Her name is Monáe Mingyue, and my name is Mao Lilan. This is Suzuki Sonoko, and Kudo Shinichi. What do you want?" Mao Lilan next to her spoke and introduced everyone to Suzumiya Yoruichi.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled, his smile was gentle, like a harmless puppy, "Beautiful girl, thank you very much for your introduction, can we go shopping together?"

"No!" Kudo Shinichi and Monáe Mingyue said at the same time.

Although Suzuki Sonoko didn't know what happened, her eyes turned between several people and she didn't speak.

Suzumiya Yoruichi sighed, took out a silk scarf from his pocket, conjured a bouquet of narcissus lilies, and stuffed the flowers into Mingyue's arms, "It seems I scared you, and this is my apology." There was a smile on his face. With a warm smile, he turned and left.

Mingyue looked at Narcissus Lily in her arms and couldn't figure out the purpose of the other party's coming this time. It seemed that the other party had guessed her answer. And that technique is that of an experienced magician.

Mao Lilan looked at the flowers in Mingyue's arms, "I remember Narcissus Lily's words that she is looking forward to meeting again. Do you know her?"

Yuanzi raised his eyebrows and moved closer to Mingyue, "He is gentle, modest and polite, and he is also very handsome."

"How can you see so many advantages in him? He is obviously a scary weirdo. Yuanzi, don't you think his figure looks like that blue clown?" Mingyue Banyue looked at Yuanzi.

Sonoko thought about it seriously, "It's a bit similar, but it's impossible to confirm that it's the blue clown just by looking at the figure. Just like Miss Yoko and the woman next to the magician are similar in figure, but they are two Different people.”

Kudo Shinhanzuki looked at Mingyue and said, "I know yesterday was the worst day in your history for you and Sonoko, but you can't just suspect that he is a kidnapper when you see someone with a similar body shape."

Mao Lilan looked at the colorful pearls on the ground and said, "Mingyue, you spilled milk tea on an important magic prop. What if it gets damaged?" After that, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the prop house.

Mingyue looked at the magic props and saw that they would not affect their use at all, but she still said, "I'm sorry, I was frightened at the time, so I didn't hold the milk tea firmly, and it seemed that I accidentally spilled it on the gentleman."

"Fortunately, the other person is not angry." Kudo Shinichi also knelt down and wiped it.

Several people wiped away the traces of milk tea, picked up the pearls on the ground and threw them away.

Yuanzi looked at Mingyue and Mao Lilan and said with emotion: "With you two beauties by my side, my chances of meeting handsome guys are greatly reduced."

Mingyue put away her phone, looked at Yuanzi and said, "You will find the one that suits you."

"Thank you for your kind words." Yuanzi shrugged.

After the backstage shopping was almost over, Yuanzi suggested that everyone go shopping outside and buy some delicious food. Walking out of the backstage, Mingyue didn't notice the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, but an unexpected person quickly flashed through the crowd, an American detective from the CIA's Covert Operations Division who called himself Philip Campbell.

Yuanzi pulled Ming Yue's sleeve and said, "There is a mask seller over there. Let's go and have a look."

Mingyue followed Sonoko to the place where she bought masks, and bought a fox mask at random. When she turned around, she saw Akai Shuichi dressed as a samurai.

Akai Shuichi saw Ming Yue and was happy to find that Ming Yue had a new partner. I think of my sister Sera Masumi and her mother, who are also in Japan. I wonder if they are doing well. Did Zhenshun practice Jeet Kune Do from the tape that was sent before? I guess Zhenchun just practiced on a whim for a while.

Mingyue looked at the long queues at the place selling senbei and the long queues at the takoyaki shop, with a look of confusion on her face.

Yuanzi looked at Mingyue and said: "I'll line up one, you line up another, buy double, and then we'll swap."

"Yeah, okay!" Ming Yue readily agreed and went to line up in front of the takoyaki shop very close to Akai Shuichi.

Akai Shuichi knew that Ming Yue had discovered him, so he stood in line behind Ming Yue without any pretense, and the two chatted calmly.

"How have you been recently? Gin doesn't allow us to contact you, but your sister still misses you very much. You should go back and see her often when you have time." Akai Shuichi seemed to be talking to the air.

Mingyue didn't look back, "Yeah, okay."

"If you have any questions, please contact me. You live alone, so you are still a little worried. That guy from Scotland has been missing for a long time."

Mingyue sighed and said slowly: "It's been inconvenient lately. Have you noticed that many foreigners have appeared recently? Maybe it's related to the candy case."

Akai Shuichi and Ming Yue saw some white-skinned, curly-haired men walking over with cameras, but they didn't seem to be interested in the surrounding scenery and were in a hurry.

Akai Shuichi's eyes turned cold, and he noticed that someone in the crowd had a gun.

Mingyue glanced at Akai Shuichi and continued: "It seems you have noticed it too."

"I understand. You should be careful. You can come from Scotland and me at any time. After all, Bourbon is from the intelligence team, so please have less contact." Akai Shuichi turned and left with a cold face.

Mingyue was laughed at Akai Shuichi's last words.

After buying the goods, Mao Lilan looked towards Mingyue and seemed to see Akai Shuichi, but was frightened by Akai Shuichi's cold gaze and did not step forward. By the time Kudo Shinichi came over, Akai Shuichi had already left.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mao Lilan who was stunned and asked: "Xiaolan, what are you looking at?"

Mao Lilan looked at the crowd coming and going and said, "It seems like I saw someone I've seen before, but it doesn't seem to be the case."

Mingyue noticed that Mao Lilan seemed to have discovered Akai Shuichi, but it was not clear what the connection was between Mao Lilan and Akai Shuichi. She thought that there might be a connection between her father Maori Kogoro and the FBI. The detective seemed not simple. Time to investigate.

A few people were eating and shopping, while Mingyue was eating and queuing up.

Shinichi teased Ming Yue, "Have you finished buying so much food?"

"But everyone wants to try it."

Mao Lilan seemed a little confused, "Do you have a lot of pocket money? Does your sponsor allow you to buy things so unscrupulously?"

Mingyue was stunned and thought for a moment. It seemed that she was really a little unscrupulous. Should she restrain herself? But there are still a lot of things I haven’t eaten yet.

Sonoko took four portions of Dorayaki and distributed them to everyone, saying, "It's okay. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll treat you."

Kudo Shinichi took the dorayaki and said, "Thank you Sonoko."

"How can I ask you to pay the bill?" Mao Lilan reached out and took the dorayaki, "We can be friends for life. I will give you the money later."

Sonoko waved her hand, "Don't worry about this. I'm very happy to be with you. Besides, it's just a Dorayaki meal."

"Actually, I still have a lot of pocket money." Mingyue explained weakly.

A few people were eating and shopping. Mao Lilan saw a goldfish fishing shop and suggested that they go fishing together.

Mingyue felt very curious. The store advertised at the door that it only cost 100 yen to have two nets, and you could take away as much as you wanted.

Kudo Shinichi said: "If we really want goldfish, we can go to the aquarium store to buy them. The ones in the aquarium store are in good condition and the colors are better than those here."

Mao Lilan pouted her little mouth and muttered: "It's more meaningful to buy it than to catch it with your own hands."

Sonoko nodded and teased: "Kudo, you won't be able to catch even one, right?"

Kudo Shinichi smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid of Mingyue..." He turned to look at Mingyue, but the Mingyue who was beside him disappeared, "Eh? Where is Mingyue?"

Sonoko pointed forward, and Kudo Shinichi saw Mingyue discussing with the store. It turned out that Mingyue was interested in the goldfish doll hanging next to the store sign, but the store said that it was made by himself and was unwilling to sell it.

Alas, girls just like cute things. Kudo Shinichi reluctantly followed the large army into the store.

Several people gave money, each holding a few thin paper nets in their hands, looking at the goldfish and koi of various colors in the basin.

Yuanzi held a dozen paper nets in his hands, and he was concentrating on watching the goldfish swimming around, and threatened: "I'm going to catch seven or eight of them." He sat on a small bench, stretched the paper net into the water, and caught the fish. But the fish jumped, the paper net broke, and some water splashed.

After a while, more than a dozen paper nets were broken, but there were only three thin little goldfish in Yuanzi's bowl.

"Why are there fewer and fewer fish? It's not easy to catch them at all." Yuanzi stirred in the water with a torn paper net.

Kudo Shinichi's last paper net was also broken, and a golden koi fell into the big basin.

Mao Lilan used two paper nets to net ten goldfish of good quality.

But there seemed to be a lot less fish in the big basin.

Several people looked over to Mingyue. There was an unused paper net next to Mingyue. However, Mingyue's fish bowl was already full of fish, but Mingyue was still using the paper net to catch the fish in the big basin, one by one. Caught quickly.

Behind Mingyue, the shopkeeper was wiping the sweat from his head with his hands.

Mao Lilan looked at the only small fish in Xinyi's bowl and asked: "Xinyi, tell me, if Mingyue catches it like this, there will be no fish left in this basin."

"It's entirely possible." Kudo Shinichi gave a very positive reply.

Yuanzi looked at Mingyue, with stars in his eyes, "Fishing Terminator, do you think I can learn it?"

In the end, the store gave the goldfish doll to Mingyue. Mingyue gave up the fish she caught and left with satisfaction.

"Mingyue, it's a pity not to have so many fish." Yuanzi said, looking at the three thin little fish in his hand.

"I don't have room to raise so many fish. Besides, this is what I want." Mingyue shook the exquisite goldfish doll in her hand.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the doll and lamented in his heart that he would catch all the fish just to sell the doll to the store. I really don’t know what you would do if the store really asked you to catch all the fish but didn’t give you the doll. Looking at the only small fish in the transparent bag in his hand, he sighed.

"Mingyue, can you teach me how you catch fish?" Yuanzi was very curious.

Mingyue blinked, "Well, just catch the fish before it reacts. I have no experience. After all, this is my first time playing this game."

Yuanzi was surprised, "You can play so well for the first time!"

"Sister Gelin!" Mao Lilan saw Gelin setting up an ice cream stall and walked over quickly.

Green also saw Mao Lilan, and noticed Mingyue standing next to Kudo Shinichi, "I'll treat everyone to ice cream."

Five servings of the same ice cream were taken out by Green. On the grounds that she had to take care of the customers, Green asked Kudo Shinichi to help distribute them to everyone.

Shinichi took the two nearest portions first, and handed the ice cream in his left hand to Xiaolan, and gave the ice cream in his right hand to Ming Yue, but Ming Yue refused on the grounds that she ate too much and couldn't eat the ice cream.

Green took two portions, handed one to Shinichi, one to Sonoko, and kept the last portion for herself, and said to Ming Yue: "If you want to eat, just tell your sister." Then she handed Ming Yue's. That share was sold to a customer.

"Sister Gelin, come hang out with us later." Xiaolan suggested.

Gelin counted the ice cream and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the business is so good, and my colleague has gone back to the cold storage to get the ice cream. Now I am the only one in the stall, and I can't leave for the time being. You guys are tired. If you want, you can come to my place to rest and eat ice cream as you like."

A few people also sat down near the ice cream stall and took a break.

Yuanzi beat her legs, Mao Lilan ate ice cream with a satisfied look on her face, and Mingyue took a fancy to the barbecue at a nearby stall and queued up.

Kudo Shinichi walked up to Mingyue and whispered: "You don't think there's anything wrong with ice cream, do you? You reminded me to be careful with Green before, do you have any basis for it?"

"Did you see Gelin coming to see me and Yuanzi yesterday?" Mingyue asked without answering.

Shinichi thought for a while and told Mingyue what he saw yesterday and what Yukiko told him. Shinichi thought Ming Yue would be surprised when she heard this, but it didn't look like that from Ming Yue's expression.

"Mingyue, do you think if I ask directly..."

"She should have thought about how to reply to you. You can't ask anything." Mingyue took small bites of the fried and crispy tempura, waiting in line for her own barbecue.

Kudo Shinichi glanced at the smoky grill and said, "Mingyue, don't you like ice cream very much? Why did you refuse this time?"

"Mr. Detective, what kind of smell do you think can mask the smell of blood?"

Shinichi didn't understand, but Mingyue didn't explain either.

At this time, the announcement sounded: "The performance is about to begin. Please come in and watch the performance."
