Conan Moslin
Chapter 228: The Duke of Darkness (8) Restaurant
Li An went straight to the souvenir shop on the first floor. After asking the manager, he learned that Mao Li Ran had been waiting at the door for a long time and had left only a few minutes ago.
She sighed and went to the back door swimming pool to inquire about the situation.
People near the swimming pool said that a girl came here and asked a primary school student.
"Did he fall down by himself?" Li An asked.
"We were swimming at the time and didn't pay attention to what was happening above, but suddenly we heard a child screaming and saw him fall."
"He ran pretty fast, he probably wasn't injured," a lady said comfortingly.
The man next to him continued, "The girl also asked this question. She went to the second floor."
"Thank you."
Li An went up to the second floor and went to the balcony that Conan mentioned.
The hinges of the balcony glass door were obviously lubricated with a lot of oil, so there was almost no sound when opening and closing. The carpet absorbed the sound of footsteps. If Conan was concentrating, it would be normal that he didn't hear anyone coming in.
It was almost dark, and with the help of the lights I could see the coconut trees in the distance and the round tables of the open-air restaurant.
Looking down, it was the swimming pool where Conan fell. There were not many people there at this time, after all, it was still a bit cold at night.
The balcony railing has two rows of horizontal bars. There are two shallow rubbing marks on the middle railing. They should be the marks where Conan slipped when he was pushed down, but they are not obvious.
The position he was standing in, it would be easy for him to fall down even without being pushed...
Li An was speechless for a moment.
After a quick check of the situation, she left the balcony and soon found Xiaolan dialing a number in the telephone booth.
"Sister Li An." Seeing Li An, Mao Lilan put down the phone and was obviously relieved.
"Has Conan gone upstairs? Otherwise you wouldn't have come down. I just wanted to go upstairs to find him, but I was afraid he might be nearby and I didn't see him..."
Just thought of giving it a call to ask.
"It seems he accidentally fell from the balcony into the swimming pool. I'm a little worried."
Li An briefly explained the situation: "He is drying his hair in my room. Wait for you to go back and open the door to get some clothes."
After hearing this, Mao Lilan pulled Li An away from here, rushed to the elevator that was almost closed, and quickly opened the door of 1903.
When Conan was taken back to the room by Mouri Ran to change clothes, he looked at Li An and asked: You didn't say anything, did you?
Li An shook his head: I didn’t say anything.
She really didn't say anything.
Anyway, the six people finally went downstairs in an orderly manner and came to the open-air restaurant outside.
During this time, Huiyuan quietly told Kuriyasu what Dr. Agasa told Conan about the "Dark Night Duke Program", and then whispered: "Is this what you said at the time..."
What are they looking for?
Li An nodded.
Although the agreed time has passed, everyone is now present except Kogoro Mori.
So, all we have to do is find Mr. Maori.
"There are so many people..."
There are many round tables in the outdoor restaurant, and there are many people having dinner at this time.
"Ran! Over here!" Looking in the direction of the voice, Maori Ran saw Maori Kogoro sitting with Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko waving at them.
"Let's go together."
There aren't many people that can sit at a round table, only five seats at most.
Ran Mouri, Conan and Kogoro sat together, while Kuria brought Ai and the two old people to sit at a table next to them.
"Why are you guys staying together?" asked Mao Lilan curiously.
"Because your father is questioning the two of us." Maeda Satoshi smiled and pretended to be mysterious, "He is doubting whether the two of us are the Duke of Dark Night."
"Dad...really?" Mao Lilan felt helpless.
Sayama Akiko seemed a little dissatisfied with Maori Kogoro's behavior. She tilted her head and said angrily: "I clearly said that Detective Maori would not participate... This is clearly cheating!"
"Akiko!"
Kuriyasu and Haibara at the next table were unmoved, so Dr. Agasa turned around and explained a few words and asked them to recognize the people.
To be honest, with so many people traveling together, it doesn’t matter to Li An and his friends whether the price is half price or not.
The food at the seaside is naturally mostly seafood. Kogoro, Maeda, Sayama and others ordered beer, while Conan, Xiaolan and other younger people ordered juice.
Li An was still strictly forbidden by Xiao Ai to drink alcohol due to physiological reasons, so he could only choose fruit juice and scooped a few more spoonfuls of hot soup.
Although she doesn't like it that much, she finally became an adult and can drink a little...
moan and groan.
Dr. Agasa was laughing on the side. After all, he was also ordered to limit his intake of high-calorie foods in this way.
That’s right, although Xiao Ai has not been here for long, she has already started to serve as a health assistant.
Terai Huangzhisuke nodded in agreement: "Ms. Kuriyasu, please take care of your health. Madam Qianying has previously advised you to recover after your illness..."
hiss……
This opening statement...
Li An keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Terai Huang Zhisuke took out a piece of paper from his pocket and was about to say something when the paper in his hand disappeared.
When he looked up, he saw Li An carefully folding the note and putting it into his wallet. He smiled at him and said, "Grandpa Terai, I will read it carefully. Let's have dinner first."
The "love notes" written by her mother, her good mother, Chikage Kuroba, are always very interesting.
But if you read it out loud, it might not be so interesting.
Li An even felt a little "regretful" about inviting Grandpa Terai to come.
Because of his illness, Li An actually hasn't spoken to Qianying for a long time, which is simply making things more obvious.
But Li An didn't think so, and only attributed the fact that her illness was discovered to the fact that Kuroba Kaito did not hide it.
At the Kuroba residence in Ekoda, Kuroba Kaito, who was on a video call with Kuroba Chikage, sneezed.
"Mom, how did you know that my sister was sick before?"
"Aoko told me~"
"You two have grown up and are no longer considerate. You don't even tell mom when you're sick..."
Hei Yu Qianying lowered her head and cried aggrievedly, her voice was so sad that anyone who heard it felt sad and anyone who saw it cried.
If she had a container of water in her hand, she could cry like an ocean.
"My sister has recovered from her illness for a while, and she is traveling in Izu now." Kaito paused, and asked tentatively, "She said before that she would come back to rest for a few days. When she comes back, I will ask her to call you back?"
"Then it's settled!"
Hei Yu Qianying raised her head, without a single tear on her face.
Kaito was so upset: "Mom..."
This is getting off topic.
There were actually quite a few people in the open-air restaurant.
In addition to the two tables of Li An and Xiao Lan, there are many other tables with familiar people.
A young couple in the distance were looking in the direction of Li An and the others: "Zhou Yi, look at those people over there... Are they Miss Kuroba Li An and the others?"
The other party carefully recognized the person and said, "It seems to be...Would you like to say hello later?"
The young woman nodded.
As for the team-building group of the two store managers, 12 people occupied three tables.
The two store managers were drinking quietly, but the smell of tension around them was gradually getting stronger.
It seemed as if not quarreling would be a betrayal of their usual style.
Amuro's roommate who was sitting next to them felt very uncomfortable and kept muttering, "Amuro, you have such a good relationship with the two store managers. Even if I'm late, you shouldn't ask me to sit here..."
Zhong Jiangjia raised his eyelids and looked at him without saying anything.
Finally, my roommate couldn't bear it any longer, so he moved his stool again and again, and soon ran to another table and squeezed it in.
There were only two store managers and a somewhat speechless Touzi left at the table.
Toru Amuro hurriedly calmed the two store managers down to prevent them from having another fight.
At this moment, he suddenly became aware of a hidden but harmless gaze.
As if inadvertently, he looked up and glanced in the direction of the balcony.
——Only the balcony door closed quietly.
