Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 145: The threatening letter from Black Rabbit Pavilion
Conan went upstairs and knocked on the door: "Sis, don't forget to go to the Maori Detective Agency later."
"I know. I won't forget your Xiaolan." Even if Kudo Yuki didn't open the door, she could still think of her brother's blushing face. Her voice was a little teasing. "I won't tease you anymore. We'll leave in 10 minutes."
Kudo Yuki heard Conan's "thump thump" footsteps as he hurriedly walked down the stairs, and imagined his shy and embarrassed look, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
At this time, Shushu jumped out of the bag and shook his fur: "Xiaoxue, you have been busy these days, and I haven't had time to chat with you. By the way, you haven't been back here for a while." His little eyes were full of complaints.
Kudo Yuki lay on the bed bored, her face buried in the soft pillow, muttering: "Shushu, don't worry, even if a crisis comes one day, it is to welcome a better self. My long-missed bed, I miss you so much."
Shushu jumped to her side and said, "Xiaoxue, your image is not serious for more than three seconds."
The corners of Kudo Yuki's mouth twitched. She raised her head, reached out to hold Shushu in her arms, and gently poked its head: "Why should I maintain an image in front of you? I just want to relax." After that, she rolled over on the bed again.
Shushu struggled to jump out of her arms and landed aside: "I really can't do anything about Xiaoxue."
Kudo Yuki sat up, stretched, then leaned against the head of the bed and looked at Shushu with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry, I've been under a lot of pressure recently."
Shushu jumped onto the table nearby and combed his beard with his little paws. "No matter how stressed you are, you still have to pay attention to your image. If others saw you like this, they would be scared."
Kudo Yuki crossed her arms over her chest and retorted, "Can't you be more casual in your own home? Besides, no one can see it except you."
Shushu shook his head helplessly: "Xiaoxue, there is always a reason. By the way, are you sure you can handle this matter well?"
Kudo Yuki raised her head slightly: "No matter whether I am sure or not, I must do my best. After all, the safety of Zero and his brother is of utmost importance."
"You have to pay attention to your own safety as well."
Kudo Yuki smiled and stood up, walked to the closet, and began to choose clothes to wear when going out: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
She took out a piece of clothing and gestured in front of her, then turned to look at Shu Shu: "What do you think of this one?"
Shushu blinked: "It's okay, but I think the blue one next to it suits you better."
Kudo Xue picked up the blue dress as she said: "I'll listen to you."
After changing her clothes, Kudo Yuki looked at the time and said, "It's almost time to leave. Let's go, Shushu."
Shushu jumped into her bag, and Kudo Yuki picked up the bag and walked out of the room.
Kudo Yuki drove Conan to the Mouri Detective Agency. As soon as they entered, they saw Mouri Ran and her father getting dressed to go out.
Before Kudo Yuki could speak, the door was opened by Amuro Toru. He was holding a large plate of sandwiches in one hand and his cell phone in the other.
He had a deliberately disappointed look on his face: "You guys are planning to go out now. What a coincidence. I specially brought sandwiches for you to eat."
Toru Amuro's eyes seem sincere, but if you look closely, you can see that there is another purpose behind them.
Kudo Yuki looked at Amuro Toru who was pretending to be disappointed, and complained in her heart: "Shushu said I have no image, Zero's acting is even better than mine, I can't stand it anymore." But on the surface, she remained calm.
"Thank you so much." Mao Lilan hurriedly thanked her.
Maori Kogoro was very happy, his eyes fixed on the plate of sandwiches: "It's okay, we will have it as a midnight snack, just leave it here. Anyway, these are the leftovers from the Poirot Cafe."
Mao Lilan was a little unhappy when she heard this: "Hey, Dad."
Toru Amuro carefully put his phone aside, placed the plate full of sandwiches steadily on the table, and smiled awkwardly: "You found out."
Maori Kogoro turned his gaze to Kudo Yuki, his eyes full of expectation: "Ms. Kudo, when can you ask my apprentice to bring the new products of Poirot Café to me for a taste?"
Kudo Yuki's eyes were full of teasing: "Mr. Maori, you are attracted by the delicious food made by Toru."
Kudo Yuki stared at Amuro Toru with a smile, her eyes revealing deep meaning: "This is not a problem, it can be fulfilled. The seemingly ordinary food may have unexpected flavors hidden in it, just like the thoughts of some people."
Amuro Toru understood Kudo Yuki's subtext, his body stiffened slightly, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face. He muttered to himself: "Xiaoxue, you are really sharp." But he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue is really good at joking."
Kudo Yuki looked at Amuro Toru, the smile on her face became wider, but there was a scrutinizing light in her eyes: "Whether it is a joke or not, Toru, you should know best in your heart."
Amuro Toru's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, smiled and said vaguely: "Xiaoxue's words are confusing."
Amuro Toru tried to change the subject, his eyes drifting away: "By the way, did you go out because you received any case commission?"
Conan sensed something suspicious, and his face was full of vigilance, "Why do you think so? Maybe we're just going out for a meal together."
Amuro Toru turned his gaze to Conan, maintaining a natural smile on his face: "Because Mr. Maori just said that we should eat this as a midnight snack, so I was thinking that it is unlikely that you two would go out to eat together."
Toru Amuro turned his head and looked at Kogoro Maori, "Am I right? Mr. Maori?"
Maori Kogoro looked up and said, "I guess I was half right. A rich man said he received a threatening letter and asked me to investigate. So I plan to take the three of them to dinner and meet the rich client."
Amuro Toru's smile seemed a little deliberate: "I see, it seems I'm still far from it."
Amuro Toru pretended to suddenly remember something, his eyes slightly widened, showing just the right amount of surprise: "Speaking of cases, Xiaolan, when you were on a school trip before, you happened to encounter a serial murder case.
I remember that it seemed that it was your classmate Kudo Shinichi who showed his skills and solved the case successfully. But after that, what about him? " His tone seemed casual, but in fact it was testing.
Mao Lilan promised Kudo Yuki that Kudo Shinichi's secret could not be told to anyone, so she used the school teacher as a shield. Although the teacher also said it, there is no conflict.
She had an apologetic look on her face and folded her hands in front of her: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Amuro. The teacher told us not to tell anyone about Shinichi."
Toru Amuro was chatting on the side, and when Kudo Yuki saw Conan's determined eyes, he knew that he knew that Toru Amuro was here to investigate him.
Amuro Toru changed his train of thought again, frowning slightly, as if trying to recall: "Also, I heard from Sonoko that you often go to Kudo Shinichi's house to help clean, right?"
"Yes, I go sometimes."
Conan interrupted their conversation and said, "Brother Amuro, why don't you go and listen to what the client has to say? After all, you are Uncle Kogoro's apprentice."
"Should I go too?"
Maori Kogoro followed Conan's meaning and murmured: "You can come too. The sandwiches I just brought can be regarded as your tuition fee."
Toru Amuro climbed up the pole with a smile on his face: "That's great. It's time for me to get off work. Since you've asked, I'll go with you." After saying that, he took off his apron.
Several people walked out of the door. Before leaving, Kudo Yuki glanced at the mobile phone on the table that Amuro Toru had deliberately placed there, and then went out.
When he got downstairs, Toru Amuro reached into his trouser pocket and felt around, a look of annoyance on his face: "Wait, no way, what's wrong with me? I think I forgot to take my phone."
Mao Lilan looked concerned: "Where did you put it?"
Amuro Toru turned his head and looked at the door behind him. "If I remember correctly, I seemed to have placed my phone next to the sandwich just now."
Kudo Yuki watched Amuro Toru acting without saying a word. Shushu poked his little head out to watch the fun, with his furry ears standing up.
Conan's face was full of doubt: "Amuro-san, are you sure you took out your phone?"
"While I was getting you sandwiches, I happened to receive a call from a friend."
Mao Lilan replied: "In that case, let me get it for you." As she spoke, she held the bag in her hand tighter.
Toru Amuro quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Xiaolan."
Maori Kogoro put his hands in his trouser pockets, his tone was reproachful, but more of a teasing tone: "I didn't expect you to be so forgetful. How can you be a detective if you are like this?"
Amuro Toru smiled awkwardly, glancing in the direction where Mao Lilan left from time to time: "I am such an unqualified detective."
Mao Lilan ran up the stairs, took out the key from her bag, inserted it into the lock, and with a click, the door opened. She went into the room to get Amuro Toru's cell phone, and her footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Kudo Yuki looked at Amuro Toru's expression and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, thinking to herself: "This is not like the usual Zero at all. His actions are all intentional. There is definitely something wrong here."
She tapped her fingers on her arm, the rhythm sometimes quick, sometimes slow, lost in thought.
Toru Amuro accidentally glanced at Kudo Yuki and found that she was looking at him with suspicious eyes.
He noticed that the mouse who loved to watch the fun was blinking and staring at him curiously. Amuro Toru touched his nose guiltily and quickly turned his eyes to the key that locked the door of Mouri Ran.
Mao Lilan ran down the stairs and handed the phone to Amuro Toru, "Mr. Amuro, this is for you."
Toru Amuro took the phone and thanked her.
Maori Kogoro pointed forward and took big strides forward: "Then let's set off now."
Amuro Toru followed beside him, asking as they walked: "By the way, which store are we going to?"
Maori Kogoro had never been there, so he expressed his guess: "It seems to be a place called Kuroto-tei. I think it should be a high-end Japanese restaurant."
Mao Lilan held Conan's hand and said, "Maybe it's a well-established western restaurant. I'm looking forward to it, Conan."
Conan nodded with a grin.
Kudo Yuki followed silently, her eyes wandering as if she was thinking about something.
Amuro Toru glanced at her from time to time, slowed down his pace, walked to Kudo Yuki, and lowered his voice: "Xiaoxue, you seem a little absent-minded today, is there something on your mind?"
Kudo Yuki was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure, "Nothing, I was just thinking about some details of the case."
Toru Amuro looked at her thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after, five people arrived at the store door. Kudo Yuki opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the others looking at the plaque.
The plaque depicts a black bunny girl, with a graceful figure, a black bodysuit outlining her charming curves, long bunny ears standing up playfully, and a pair of seductive eyes. The three big characters "Black Bunny Pavilion" are particularly eye-catching, and there are some pink neon lights around them.
Mao Lilan's eyes revealed dissatisfaction and embarrassment: "This is not a Japanese or Western restaurant at all, this is simply a bunny girl club."
There was a cunning look in Kudo Yuki's eyes, and she didn't seem surprised by this situation: "Since you are here, find a seat and take a look, broaden your horizons."
Five people sat at a table. Kudo Yukiho leaned back on the sofa. She adjusted her posture comfortably and looked at the people coming and going with a bit of curiosity and scrutiny.
Amuro Toru looked around cautiously, "No wonder this place is called Kuromeitei."
Maori Kogoro stole a glance at these bunny girls: "They are all black bunnies."
Mao Lilan looked at Conan shyly and stroked Conan's head gently: "Really, if I had known it was this kind of store, I wouldn't have brought Conan with me."
Conan held the menu in his hand and motioned to Mao Lilan to look at the menu and order food with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay for me. There are also fried egg rolls and curry rice here."
At this time, a man came over. He was wearing a neat suit and his hair was combed neatly.
"You must be the famous detective Mr. Maori Kogoro, nice to meet you. I am the Morooka Gunzo who contacted you before."
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhu Gang, the threatening letter you mentioned is..."
"I've brought the letter." Morooka Gunzo looked at the butler and nodded slightly. "Fukamachi, hurry up and take out the letter."
The butler took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Maori Kogoro, saying, "This is the threatening letter that the master received not long ago."
Maori Kogoro took the letter. The paper was a little rough, and there were some signs of wear and tear on the edges. "Nowadays, there are still people who cut words and put them together to make threatening letters."
He carefully examined the letter, and Yuki Kudo stood up from the sofa, and together with Toru Amuro and Conan, they looked closely at the contents of the letter. It read:
If you want to stay alive, stay away from the Black Rabbit Pavilion.
Maori Kogoro was a little surprised. He looked up at Morooka Gunzo and said, "Isn't the Black Rabbit Pavilion here?"
As he spoke, Morooka Gunzo walked over to the sofa opposite Maori Kogoro and sat down: "So I guess the person who wants to kill me should be in this store. I called you, the famous detective, here to ask you to find that person."
Maori Kogoro was ashamed: "You are too reckless."
