Fuyuki Canteen

Mr. Thief and the Great Detective

You're the one with tooth decay, and I'm not a real kid.

Conan stared at him for half a month, and wrote this sentence brightly on his face, but he only got a smile from the strange thief and rubbed his head across the table.

"Even in this state, you should eat less sweets and brush your teeth well." Kidd reminded him caringly like a real big brother next door, "Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you find that you have tooth decay after changing back."

Hey, you bastard, you must be snickering.

Conan himself couldn't complain about the faint smile on the lips of the guy opposite.

He simply turned his eyes away to look at the bowl of Bak Kut Teh that was placed by the strange thief before him.

The white porcelain bowl was filled to the brim with light brown broth.Several pieces of pork ribs that have been cut into small pieces are parked in the center of the bowl like islands, and a few pieces of golden butter tofu and several slender enoki mushrooms are floating next to them. The charming meaty aroma brushes the tip of the nose.

...It smells so good.

Once again, Conan unconsciously forgot about the strange thief on the opposite side, and focused his attention on the bowl of Bak Kut Teh he served for himself.

I just ate the frozen lemon mousse cake, and now I have some hot soup to warm up my body.

This time, let's see how the boss here makes broth.

Conan carefully took a sip of the soup with a spoon and drank it.

When the hot soup was poured on his tongue, the little boy couldn't help being overwhelmed by the mellow aroma.

The taste was very different from the bak kut teh he had had before.Compared with the authentic dish, the bitter taste of Chinese medicine has been weakened, but the aroma of the broth has increased. Compared with the umami taste of pure pork bone stew, it has a more mellow flavor.

But if you insist on reducing the amount of traditional Chinese medicine added, it doesn't look like it.The taste of the soup is not greasy at all, and the aftertaste left after the mouth is refreshing.

Conan froze for a moment.He put down the spoon, picked up a rib with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and was immediately captured by the delicious taste that melted in his mouth.

The umami of the soup is not at all the essence of the dried pork ribs. Not only is this pork ribs uncooked, but it has been simmered until it is tender and delicious. It is far more delicious than the pork ribs in ordinary dishes.

The pieces of meat rolled down the esophagus carrying heat.Conan felt the heat of the ironing post that fell into his stomach, and his appetite was not appeased, but instead seemed to be turned on by some terrible switch, and he was more and more eager for the food in front of him.

The little boy pushed his foggy glasses, and couldn't help picking up another piece of fried tofu soaked in soup.

The moment the teeth bite down, a large amount of soup flows out of the holes in the deep-fried tofu.Although it has the same taste as the first bite, it can be paired with soft bean-flavored fried tofu, which seems to have a completely different and charming flavor.

After a few mouthfuls of Bak Kut Teh in the bowl, my stomach felt a little heavy and full.

After realizing that the bowl in front of him had become empty, Conan raised his head subconsciously, and found that the thief was looking at himself with a smiling face on his cheek behind the vague white mist:

"Why, do you want another bowl, detective?"

There is no answer to this question.

Mr. Thief, who has a superb ability to read people's hearts, stretched out his arms consciously when he asked that sentence, took away the empty bowl in front of him, picked up the big spoon in the casserole, and filled him with a bowl of meat again. bone tea.

The detective stared at the steaming pork rib soup in the casserole, and was once again surprised by the food in front of him.

His sense of taste is far less acute than that of a professional chef, but he has also noticed several improved advantages in this Bak Kut Teh, but he can't deduce the reason for the change in taste.

"It's white pepper and green tea."

Mr. Thief said with a smile as if he could read the thoughts in Conan's mind.

He gently put the bowl of Bak Kut Teh in Conan's hand again, which was full of pork ribs, fried tofu and enoki mushrooms.

Then, he picked up the big spoon and filled another bowl for himself.

Conan noticed that the ingredients he scooped up for himself were all sweet things like red dates and longan, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. This guy is indeed a loyal sweet party.

And Kidd was still narrating steadily, with a slight smile in his voice: "The detective is wondering why the taste of this Bak Kut Teh is so different? I can give the answer."

The two people's blue eyes looked at each other through a casserole of bak kut teh.

Conan stared at him for half a second, raised his eyebrows, and showed a "willing to hear more" expression, so the strange thief paused, and continued smoothly, a perfect and correct answer:

"The reason why the flavor of traditional Chinese medicine is not strong is because the boss added a lot of white pepper. If I guessed correctly, the seasoning packet that the boss added to the stew should be ground white pepper, otherwise the effect would not be so significant .”

"Does white pepper also have the effect of relieving greasiness..."

The detective couldn't help murmuring when he heard half of it.

"That's right." The Phantom Thief nodded, but the corners of his lips were still slightly curled up, "But the real contributor to the relief of tiredness should be green tea. Although I can't guess what kind of taste this is, it is indeed the taste of green tea. "

...Green tea.

Unexpected answer.

The detective did not doubt the old enemy's answer, but was shocked that apart from his great physical ability and magic ability, this guy also had a better sense of taste than ordinary people.

It's amazing to have so much physical ability beyond ordinary people's level.And the knowledge of cooking has not been left behind... Could it be that he can also cook?

Because of this discovery, he glanced at his old enemy faintly, and the detective felt ashamed that he failed to solve the correct answer and let the guy on the opposite side take the lead. It really is because his cooking knowledge is too lacking.

Thinking of this, Edogawa Conan once again looked away from the bright smiling face of the young man opposite him, and silently immersed himself in the warmth of the whole body brought by the Bak Kut Teh.

He still has more than half of his lemon mousse cake.

Before tonight's supper is over, let the guy on the opposite side win a small game.

Remember to learn cooking knowledge afterward, Kudo Shinichi.Conan warned himself that it might be useful when solving the case.

Even if you don't need it, it might be a very interesting thing to deduce the recipe of the food from the taste when eating in the future.

When the two of them finally finished eating a large casserole of Bak Kut Teh and two plates of lemon mousse cake, and went to the front desk to check out, Kidd, who was dressed as a big brother, still showed a troubled expression.

At this time, Conan understood his feelings very well.The two of them huddled their heads together and stared at the dessert bar on the menu for a long time. Finally, after a quiet discussion, they unanimously decided to pack a pair of cherry double skin milk and black forest cake to share.

After all, the chances of being able to come to Singapore in the future are very slim, so it's okay to indulge yourself tonight.

The white-haired boss had a very good temper with customers who ordered outsourced sweets late at night. He told them that the double-skin milk had to wait for a while, and then he opened the curtain and went in, leaving Conan and Kidd alone at the counter. waiting in front of you.

After a few words of argument with Kidd, Conan had nothing to do, and quietly looked at the other customers in the store again.

The man in the gray suit and the Jarhead junior high school student from before seemed to have gone back after eating their ramen. The table was already empty, leaving only two noodle bowls with remaining soup; The samurai brothers also finished the sushi on the plate and were sipping hot tea in the cups facing each other, and their movements were surprisingly consistent from the side view.

Conan and Kidd didn't eat too fast. The customers in the shop had already left, and the blue-haired waiter was clearing the tables.

The boy's eyes glanced at the long-haired British professor in a red coat with a laptop who came in just now, the brown-haired blue-eyed boy wearing strange feather earrings, and the silver-haired boy in strange clothes sitting opposite him, and finally stopped at the corner in a position.

It was a figure that once noticed, it was hard to look away.

In the dim warm-toned light, the extremely conspicuous, snow-white youth.The long-sleeved top is pure white, the cropped jeans are pure white, the ankles are pure white, the shoes are pure white, and even the fluffy and curled hair is the color of snow.

The extremely abnormal-looking young man was typing on the pure white laptop keyboard in front of him, his fingers were slender and white, and it seemed to be wearing a gemstone ring.

Conan stared at him unconsciously, with an inquiring emotion in his heart.

The atmosphere of this person is very unusual.The indescribable feeling of isolation from other people——

The second the thought came to his mind, the white youth felt it.

He looked sideways in Conan's direction, and under the long and narrow violet eyes was a dark purple inverted crown tattoo.

"...!"

That, what kind of look.

When he saw the meaning clearly, Conan's whole body couldn't help trembling, and his hair stood on end.

His eyes widened in horror, but a pair of warm hands reached out from behind in time, and he swung his head to the side, blocking the imminent gaze.

The face of the squatting Kaitou with a helpless smile appeared in front of his eyes.But now his expression is not the warm and cheerful expression that made Conan feel comfortable before, but a more superficial, mask-like inorganic expression.

"Ah, little brother, you can't stare at others when you're bored, it's very impolite." The strange thief's voice was natural, as if he was really educating his younger brother to be a responsible elder brother, but Conan suddenly lowered his voice after hearing him clearly. Mute and subtle words, "Detective, don't stare at that guy. He is not as understanding as the previous twins, but..."

The monster thief didn't finish his words.

"The double skin milk and the black forest you packed."

That was the magnetic voice of the shopkeeper.

As if being saved from fire and water, the strange thief stood up quickly, took the packaged dessert handed by the boss, and took Conan's little hand and quickly left the store.

After walking tens of meters on the street with the cool night wind, after passing a corner, the strange thief who was pressing on the brim of his hat took a deep breath, let go of Conan's hand and leaned against the wall.

"Detective, you really have your eye on an incredible person." He sighed and sighed.

"That guy, what's his background?"

Conan frowned and stood beside Kidd.

The mood of meeting delicious food is completely spoiled.Every time Conan thinks of the look that man gave him before, he feels chills all over his body.

Such disgusting and frightening eyes.Very arrogant.

If I had to describe it, it was like the eyes of a god casually scanning the ants under their feet, trying to find pleasure in it.

"Ah, if you have to tell me where it came from..." The strange thief who seemed to know the snow-white youth sighed, "It should be a netizen in the chat room."

ha?

Conan was only surprised by the unexpected honesty of the Phantom Thief.He rarely showed disbelief at that nonsensical answer.And beside his ears, the strange thief was still rambling, with a tone close to complaining:

"She said she was a wealthy OL with a successful career, but she turned out to be such a person in reality. Internet scams, Internet scams, fortunately, she didn't agree to any meeting invitation... Wait, don't you know anything else, right?"

The strange thief suddenly realized something, widened his eyes, and blurted out: "I will never go!"

As he spoke, he turned his head abruptly and looked at Conan, his deep blue eyes were full of seriousness: "Detective, next time you see that guy, don't approach him!"

This guy, did he foresee some unknown danger?

Conan Banyue saw that he was breaking out in a cold sweat talking to himself, and he was both curious and disgusted.

So, what happened?

In this night in Singapore, there is one more mystery in the detective's heart that cannot be solved.

The author has something to say:

Prynne, who ran into the store late at night to eat cake and write a college thesis, and Kaito, who saw the marshmallow cake in his hand, saw the ring, and guessed its true identity by intelligence and intuition.

Completely frightened by netizens falling off the horse.Douzi is miserable.

This is simply a tragedy caused by packing desserts. I hope that eating double skin milk and black forest with Conan will comfort him.

In fact, there are quite a lot of characters appearing in these chapters, and everyone can guess.

Some are just flashes, and some may have a single chapter.
