Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Chapter 304: She and I, the unknown variables at the beach

In the silent room, a system prompt sound suddenly rang out. Kudo Yuki frowned slightly in her sleep, but the sound was like an electric current, instantly waking her up from her sleep.

"Ding, the sign-in function is activated. Congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today and getting +40 mall points and the Phantom Identity Secret Box.

The current mall points are 2700, and the system space contains: healing elixir, recent information on the winery organization, location distribution map of the winery base, and phantom identity secret box. Please continue to sign in daily, Xiaoxue."

Kudo Yuki secretly rejoiced in her heart: "This secret box of hidden identity came at the right time. Maybe it will be the key to turning the situation around in the future mission against the winery organization."

The rewards she received every time she signed in seemed like a special gift from fate, giving her more confidence in her fight against the winery organization.

Unconsciously, the sky gradually turned pale, and the dawn light dispelled the haze of the night.

The Polo Café was gradually enveloped by the first rays of morning sunshine, which were like golden threads, shining through the windows and onto the operating table.

Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru were busy in the kitchen of the cafe. The air was filled with a sweet aroma, which was the tempting smell of freshly baked snacks.

Kudo Yuki was wearing an apron and staring at the snacks she was making. She rolled out the dough skillfully, pressed it into delicate shapes with molds, and then handed them to Amuro Toru.

Amuro Toru stood aside and took the pastry dough and put it into the oven. He looked at Kudo Yuki from time to time and said, "The children will definitely like these pastries."

"I hope that this trip to the beach will allow everyone to have fun and temporarily forget about the dangers and troubles."

Kudo Yuki did not stop her hands and continued to make snacks, skillfully weighing flour, sugar and butter, her eyes full of expectation.

Time passed quietly in the busyness, the snacks in the oven gradually became golden and crispy, and the tempting aroma became stronger. As the time for the nine o'clock gathering approached, the snacks were successfully made.

The two of them packed the snacks meticulously, and each one was tied with a beautiful bow with a colorful ribbon, making it as exquisite as a piece of art.

Outside the Poirot Cafe, Subaru Okiya drove a van slowly and parked steadily at the door. After Yuki Kudo and Toru Amuro loaded the snacks into the car, they waited for everyone to arrive at the door.

Not long after, Conan and other members of the Junior Detective League appeared one after another, jumping and skipping.

The three little ones ran and shouted, their voices filled with uncontrollable excitement: "We are going to the beach!"

Wakasa Rumi also appeared at this time, with a gentle smile on her face. She was originally greeting the children with a smile, but she caught a glimpse of Kudo Yuki out of the corner of her eye.

In an instant, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and that surprise was like ripples on the water, fleeting and so fast that it was almost imperceptible.

Wakasa Rumi walked up to him and asked, "Ms. Kudo, why are you here too? I thought it was just me and the kids."

"The store hasn't been busy lately, so I thought about going out with everyone and taking care of the children. And this time I've prepared snacks that everyone will like." Kudo Yuki smiled kindly and pointed to the beautifully packaged snacks in the car.

Conan ran up to Kudo Yuki, tilted his head, and acted like a child: "Sister Yuki, we can have fun this time. I'm going to build a huge sand castle at the beach!"

"Okay, little detective, we'll pile together then."

Amuro Toru walked up to Kudo Yuki and lowered his voice with a slightly alert look: "I'll go check the car to make sure it's okay."

He walked over to the van, opened the hood, and examined it carefully, just like he was on a public security mission.

While checking the car, Amuro Toru walked over to Okiya Subaru and lowered his voice, "Mr. Subaru, Wakasa Rumi is here today, so you should pay more attention. Her appearance is always a little subtle. Although we haven't found anything unusual so far, it's better to be cautious."

Okiya Subaru nodded slightly, his eyes became deep, revealing a hint of vigilance: "I will pay attention. Her identity has always been a mystery, and the children cannot be put in any danger."

Toru Amuro patted Okiya Subaru's shoulder, and the two exchanged a tacit look and continued with the work at hand.

Everyone got in the car one after another, and Subaru Okiya started the van and drove towards the beach.

Inside the car, the three kids were discussing today's itinerary.

Kudo Yuki, Amuro Toru and Wakasa Rumi each have their own thoughts. Although they appear calm on the surface, their hearts are surging like the undercurrent beneath the calm sea.

The van was speeding on the road, the scenery outside the window passed by quickly, and the sunlight shone on the window, reflecting the different expressions of everyone in the car.

Wakasa Rumi sat in the passenger seat and turned to greet Subaru Okiya who was driving, "I'm so sorry. I rented your car and still have to trouble you to drive."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just wanted to go out and relax. It's fun to be with the kids." Okiya Subaru looked at the road ahead, holding the steering wheel with both hands, his tone relaxed.

At this time, Mitsuhiko saw Yuanta opening the inflation valve of the lifebuoy and was about to blow it up, so he quickly stopped him: "Yuanta, you can't blow up the lifebuoy in the car. It will take up too much space and it may be dangerous."

Yuan Tai curled his lips and put down the lifebuoy reluctantly: "Okay, I'll blow it after we get off the car."

The atmosphere in the car became more lively because of the little episode of the three little ones, but the others were still immersed in their own thoughts.

Kudo Yuki thought to herself: [Wakasa Rumi deliberately touched Ai before, was she trying to confirm her true identity? What is her purpose?]

Amuro Toru kept an eye on Wakasa Rumi, weighing the pros and cons in his mind: [Is this trip really just a coincidence? Or is there a conspiracy behind the winery? Wakasa Rumi's identity is a mystery, and her appearance is definitely not accidental.]

His eyes occasionally met with Kudo Yuki's, and the two could read each other's concerns in each other's eyes without words.

Wakasa Rumi seemed to be chatting with Okiya Subaru in a relaxed manner, but her eyes were always paying attention to the movements of other people in the car, especially Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was smiling, she thought to herself: "With Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru both here, this seaside trip will definitely be interesting, and it may help advance my plan."

As the van drove on, everyone arrived at the Seaside Hotel near the beach.

After walking into the restaurant, they found a spacious seat and sat down. After all the dishes were served, Amuro Toru opened the snack box and distributed the snacks to everyone.

The three little ones cheered and couldn't wait to pick up the snacks and taste them.

"Wow, this snack is delicious!"

"Yes, the snacks made by Sister Xue and Brother Amuro are the most delicious in the world."

"Yes, this tastes absolutely amazing, I feel like I can eat a lot of it."

Looking at the three little ones eating happily, Kudo Yuki and Amuro Toru smiled at each other, and there was relief and satisfaction in their smiles.

Afterwards, the three little ones each took the grilled sausages they had been longing for, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

“This, this is…”

"The dream..."

"Kamen Rider Sausage Curl."

The three little ones were eating, their eyes full of love for the food.

"very delicious!"

“I didn’t expect this to be so delicious.”

“This time I came at the right time.”

Conan ate the grilled sausage and muttered to himself: "Except for the letter Y written with ketchup and mustard, isn't it just an ordinary sausage? But seeing how everyone is enjoying it, it should taste good."

He secretly looked at Haibara Ai and found that she just held the straw in her mouth, drinking orange juice quietly, with a wandering look in her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Ayumi's shoulder accidentally knocked the sausage out of Yuanta's hand.

"Oops." Ayumi exclaimed, her face full of apology.

Yuan Tai was feeling a little disappointed. He looked at the sausage on the ground with a look of reluctance on his face: "It fell."

Mitsuhiko turned his head, looking regretful: "What a waste."

Kudo Yuki, Amuro Toru, and Okiya Subaru ate the food in their hands silently, observing Wakasa Rumi calmly.

Wakasa Rumi called the waitress over and said politely and gently, "Excuse me, can you give us another sausage?"

The female waitress of Haizhiya came over with a tray in one hand, with a professional smile on her face: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Yuan Tai took a napkin and wiped the stain, frowning slightly: "Oh no, the marks on this cushion can't be wiped off?"

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko turned their heads and answered.

"It is ketchup and mustard after all."

"It should be washable after washing."

The kitchen of Haizhijia Hotel is filled with the aroma of food and a busy atmosphere.

The waitress holding the plate, Mentian Shuliang, talked to another waitress, "Please give us another sausage roll. The customer seems to like it very much today."

The waitress Mao Muxiang was mixing the dumpling stuffing. When she heard Men Tian Shuliang's words, she stopped what she was doing and turned around to answer, "I'll bake it after I mix the dumpling stuffing. You can't be careless with the dumpling stuffing. You have to make sure the flavor is even."

Maybe it was because the stirring motion just now was too strong, the bow of her suspenders opened, revealing a small piece of skin.

Kayaki Maika's face immediately turned red. She subconsciously protected herself, with a hint of panic in her eyes, and asked for help from the male clerk next to her: "Guiqi, this is bad, this is bad! Come and help me."

Koriyama Takaki was wiping the table carefully with a rag when he suddenly heard Kayaki Maika's call. He sighed, folded the rag aside, and walked towards her.

She muttered, "Oh, come on, you have to wear such frivolous clothes. You are just looking for trouble."

He reached out to tie the bow, and as he did so he asked, "Is this about right?"

"Tie it tighter. It looks ugly if it's so loose."

"If you tie it too tight, it will be difficult for me to leave later. You know it's not easy to untie a bow that's tied too tightly."

"Then please try your best. Aren't you confident in your grip strength? Don't fail at the critical moment."

Mentian Shuliang put the jar on the table with a bang, turned his head and looked at Koriyama Takaki with dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Can you help me open this bottle of jam? The muscular man who is confident in his grip strength."

Takaki Koriyama walked to the side and picked up the jar. He first twisted it hard, but found that it didn't move at all. He adjusted his posture, held the jar tightly with both hands, his face flushed red, and tried hard to twist it for a long time but couldn't open it.

"Wow, it's tight, what kind of jar is this?"

Mentian Shuliang glared at him and said sarcastically, "Don't flirt in front of your ex-girlfriend. You really don't know the occasion."

Kayaki Maika realized that something was wrong and an apologetic look appeared on her face: “Ah, I’m sorry.”

After hearing this, Mentian Sakuran's expression eased a little and he began to chat with Kayaki Maika.

"It's okay. After all, I dumped him and replaced him with your brother. At that time, I thought I got along better with him, but who knew that later..."

But, her brother Reisuke..." Maomu Maika hesitated to speak, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

The store manager, Katsunori Usui, suddenly reached out from behind and put his arms around the necks of the two people who were chatting, one on each side, and replied with a sly smile: "Aren't you going to kill yourself by messing around?"

This sudden sound startled both Kayaki Maika and Menda Sakurya, and they both said in unison: "Wow!"

Seeing this, Usui Katsunari released the two and patted their shoulders. He walked to the cargo box next to him and said, "The damage caused must be repaid with this part-time job and then handed over to the boss, so you must work hard and don't cause any more trouble for me."

Koriyama Takaki walked forward with a wry smile and scratched his head: "But, brother, why do I have to work here too? I feel a little wronged."

Usui Katsunori glanced at him, then squatted down, opened the cargo box, searched for items inside, and answered without looking up: "Isn't Reisuke your favorite little brother? You are also responsible for the mess he caused.

If you can't make up for your losses by working here, you can only find other more profitable jobs to make up for it. You guys just need to know this, and don't blame me for not reminding you later."

He searched in the cargo box for a long time, his brows furrowed more and more tightly: "Damn it, why is there no pineapple juice? This won't do, many customers ordered pineapple juice."

Mentian Shuoliang also came over with a surprised look on his face: "No more? I remember putting a lot in there, did I remember it wrong?"

Usui Katsunori reluctantly took out the grape juice from the cargo box and stood up. "There's nothing I can do. I'll just have to make do with this."

Koriyama Takaki shook the same kind of juice in his hand and murmured with a smile: "Grape juice is delicious. I always drink it before going to bed. It is sour and sweet and tastes very good."

Usui Katsunori looked at the three shop assistants behind him and stretched. "Speaking of sleeping, it's almost lunchtime. I'm going to take a nap in the backyard. You guys take this opportunity to drink some pineapple juice. Don't be lazy."

"Okay." Mentian Shuliang answered with his hands on his hips.

Usui Katsunari walked to the steps and found Koriyama Takaki following him. "What? Are you going to the backyard too?"

"Yeah, after all, there's air conditioning. It's a bit hot here. So, what's a more profitable job? Don't keep me in suspense."

"Stay tuned." Usui Katsunari smiled mysteriously, and the two of them walked away.

Mentian Shuliang murmured, "Then I have to go deliver medicine to grandma. I'll leave the purchase of juice to you, Maika."

"OK! Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

After eating and drinking, Kudo Yuki and his group came to the beach. The sea breeze blew gently, and the waves beat against the shore rhythmically, making pleasant sounds. But no one knew that under the calm appearance, a crisis was quietly lurking.
