Fuyuki Canteen

Mr. Thief and the Great Detective

The night in Singapore is as beautiful as ever.

The vast dark blue and black sky is surrounded by twinkling lights and stars, and the shop lights on the street are colorful.

After experiencing a series of thrills and adventures including high-altitude falls, building explosions, and fighting with villains, the high school student detective Kudo Shinichi, who is now aliased as Edogawa Conan, is walking with his half-moon eyes on In the beautiful scenery seen from the heights.

In the country of Singapore, Kudo Shinichi also visited when he was on vacation with his parents.

However, from the perspective of today's children, this street scene, which has not changed much in the past few years, has some other meanings.

What's more, he is not alone now.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Edogawa Conan, who looks like a primary school student, to walk alone near the hotel that was just attacked.From a security point of view, it is also impossible.

Conan looked at the person walking beside him speechlessly.

The boy with his own appearance was looking around the street with a temperament and expression that did not match Kudo Shinichi's at all.

Instead of trying to imitate Kudo's attire during the day, he changed into more casual dark casual clothes, and wore a black peaked cap on his head. When passing people, he pressed the brim of the hat to cover the upper half of his face.However, such a covert action did not affect his mood, but hummed an unknown tune in his throat, which seemed very pleasant.

"Huh? Detective, why are you looking at me?"

As if aware of Conan's gaze, the boy stopped humming and looked sideways at him curiously.The clear dark blue eyes, like the sky with turbulent clouds, looked at Conan walking beside his legs with concern, and the corners of his lips raised a bright arc unconsciously.

Seeing his youthful appearance now, no one would have thought that the guy walking beside him is actually the internationally famous Phantom Thief 1412, KID who is the dream lover of thousands of girls.

The silver-winged magician under the moon, what a beautiful and mysterious image.But after getting closer, it becomes very disillusioned.

This guy is simply an idiot——

"I didn't look at you."

Conan Dead Fisheye replied.

So the boy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, don't be so reluctant, I'll treat you later", then turned his head and continued to look at the various shops along the street.

Why are you looking at you, do you have no points in your heart?

If it weren't for your sudden craving for supper at night, how could I, a dignified detective, be dragged into the street by you, a thief who disturbs people's sleep?

Conan, who was pulled out to accompany his old enemy, was actually a little reluctant, and his heart was full of complaints about the strange thief who pulled the elementary school students out to hunt for food late at night.

However, Kidd's smiling persuasion of "How can you not comfort your stomach with warm food on an evening of exciting adventures", coupled with his "I treat you!" Tickets, Conan followed him out.

To be honest, under the strenuous exercise and thrilling just now, I am indeed a little hungry.

See if I don't eat your wallet poor.

Conan silently cursed the unreliable "Xinyi brother".

The teenager walking beside the little boy didn't notice this.The two of them walked against the flow of people and gradually walked to a relatively secluded place. Conan was putting his hands in his pockets and recalling the details of the previous case, when he was suddenly drawn back by Kidd's voice.

"Detective!" The hood on the back of his blouse was pulled by the fellow thief, and then he heard Kidd say, "There seems to be a shop opened by a Japanese, do you want to go and have a look?"

what.

Conan subconsciously looked towards where Kidd pointed, and what he saw was a restaurant called "Homestay".From the outside, it looks a little too plain, not at all like a place that would attract the attention of an insolent thief who loves gorgeousness, but when you look at it again, you feel that it is shrouded in an indescribable mysterious atmosphere.

Moreover, if you look closely, the signboard that peeks out from behind the glass door is indeed written with chalk today's special menu in Japanese.

"It's so rare." The phantom thief beside him sighed in his own voice, "It may be fate to meet a shop opened by a Japanese in Singapore, a foreign country. Why don't you just stay here, detective?"

When Conan came to his senses, he nods with an unknown mood and was led into the shop by Kidd.

Now the two of them are standing in front of the signboard like a pair of brothers who have a good relationship, staring at the words on it.

"What does the detective want?"

Kidd still maintained his demeanor of a gentleman under the moon, and he took the lead in asking his old enemy with a small body.

Since Conan walked into the store, he found many thought-provoking details.He tried his best to get rid of the strange feeling in his mind, moved his eyes away from the white-haired boss and the blue-haired waiter who seemed to be engaged in some improper occupation before, and quickly browsed through the menu absently. Heartily chose the dessert labeled "Today's Special Offer":

"A lemon mousse cake, thank you."

The white-haired young man in a dark apron nodded to him, took notes, and then turned his gaze to Kidd who hadn't made a choice yet.

"Lemon mousse cake..." The phantom thief seemed to be stuck in a difficult choice.His eyes repeatedly drifted over the options of Black Forest Cake and Cherry Double Skin Milk, and finally made a difficult decision, "Then give me one too, boss. But it's not enough to eat desserts at night, right?" Order something else, Conan-kun."

All right, it's your treat anyway.

Conan withdrew his eyes from the other customers in the store, lowered his eyes and pondered, and casually echoed:

"Then laksa, curry fish head, bak kut teh...you can choose one, brother."

He casually reported a few "hot" Singapore specialties that met the strange thief's previous requirements, but found that the strange thief's body seemed to freeze for a moment when the name of a certain dish was reported.

Ok?

Conan looked over with some awareness, but the Phantom Thief had already covered up all the unnaturalness, and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's have Bak Kut Teh then."

They chose a seat at random.

It was late at night, and at this time, most restaurants would have no customers.But this shop seems to be an exception, the customers seem to be night owls, although not all the seats are full, but the small shop is more than half full of diners.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Conan quietly peeped at the people who were eating in the restaurant.

The young man with black hair, white and green hoodie looking at his mobile phone alone is quite normal, at most he is an otaku who doesn't go out to exercise.The young man in khaki windbreaker with dark brown curly hair who shared the table with him and ate Kanto cooking looked like a boy who lied to women for a living, but his frivolous temperament seemed to be the unique feeling of exhaustion of social animals who worked overtime until late at night.

Similar to the masculinity of the windbreaker is the man in gray suit and pink tie with short amber hair.He was eating char siew ramen with the pothead junior high school student sitting opposite him... what combination is this?Unscrupulous bosses and exploited child laborers?Do middle school students nowadays work part-time until that late?But the kid seemed to trust the man in the gray suit, so he should be fine.

Conan pushed his glasses subtly, and a white light flashed on the lenses.

These customers are pretty normal types.

It was several other people who made Conan's heart fluctuate.

Two young men in kimonos sit at a table and eat sushi.Their clothes are very simple, their long reddish black hair is tied into a ponytail, one is dressed in scarlet and the other is dressed in purple. They also look very similar, they seem to be twins.However, there are some differences in details, such as the position of the scars on the face, whether there are earrings, the temperament and posture of eating are different, but these are not the key points.

The point is the two long things they lean against the table...

Is that a knife?Is it a knife?

Conan struggled to move his eyes away from the well-maintained handle, unable to convince himself that it was a bamboo knife.

No matter how you look at it, it's a real knife.

Moreover, these two diners were not the only ones who seemed to be troublesome. Many of them had some dangerous details that were detected by detectives with keen intuition and observation skills.

What is the background of the owner of this store?

What pulled him out of the short meditation filled with cold sweat were two plates of cakes and a casserole of Bak Kut Teh on the table.

"Please enjoy."

The blue-haired waiter with a hearty smile said, and walked away briskly with the tray in his arms.

Conan no longer thinks about the mystery posed by the store.He stared at the cake in front of him and was stunned:

"This is... a lemon mousse cake?"

The cake that surprised the well-informed boy is naturally not ordinary.It is very delicate and beautiful in appearance, lifelike, like a lemon just plucked from the tree, so vividly lying across the middle of the white porcelain plate.

"Of course. Lemon Mousse Cake." He read out the foreign language name of the dessert in front of him with a standard pronunciation, and the strange thief smiled authentically while holding a fork.

Of course I know it's LemonMousseCake, but the problem is that it doesn't look like a normal mousse cake at all.

By the way, will there be such high-end desserts in a small Japanese restaurant on the street in Singapore?

Conan recalled the price of the cake on the kanban board before, and felt indescribable.

Although this is one of the most expensive desserts, this shape...is really too cheap for Kidd's wallet.

The detective thought childishly, staring at the ginger-yellow cake with gelatin or other magical techniques to make the outer layer of the real fruit skin texture, and felt a sense of curiosity in his heart.

Who wouldn't be curious about the taste of such a quirky and delicate dessert?

Besides, Conan himself likes lemons very much.

Carefully inserting a spoon into the center of the fresh, lively lemon-like dessert, he splits it in half evenly and roundly.

A wonderful scene appeared.

The lemon as a dessert finally revealed its core.

Under the outer "peel" of turmeric, the snow-white cream mousse is wrapped with light yellow crystal fillings. The color matching shows a natural fairy tale feeling and at the same time, it makes people's index fingers move.

Conan gently dug out a piece of cake that contained all layers, and put it in his mouth.

In an instant, the aroma of lemon, honey and milk melted on the tip of his tongue like snow.Try to chew, the inner wall of the mouth and the teeth are gently pressed, and the fine and round pearl-like pulp bursts in the mouth with the taste of lemon juice, and the strong lemon flavor overwhelms everything!

Terrific dessert.

The little boy widened his blue eyes in amazement, startled by the delicacy in his mouth.

Although the taste of lemon is strong, it does not have a strong sense of impact. The excessive sourness is well neutralized by the sweetness of milk, making it very soft and palatable. The mousse is as cold as ice and snow on the warm tongue Melted, leaving behind a sweet coolness.

...This feeling, is it mint?

The little boy was still immersed in the taste of the dessert, but the big brother on the opposite side came back to his senses after enjoying it, and gently put a bowl of hot soup in his child's hand.

"Detective, don't bother eating dessert, drink some hot soup." Some teenagers whose hair was messed up when they took off their peaked caps smiled and blinked at him, a temperament that was very different from usual breaks through the skin and shines brightly. "Otherwise, what if I get tooth decay? Miss Lan will be angry."

The author has something to say:

The time point here is the night after the main plot of Fist of Cyan Blue ends.

Before returning to China, brother Shinichi took Arthur Hirai kid out for supper~
