Did I fall off the horse with Touzi today?
Chapter 24 Case.024
At three o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, a brown-haired man in a turtleneck and cashmere jacket, who looked refined and refined, pushed open the door of Poirot's coffee shop.
The wind chime hanging on the door of the store made a tinkling sound, and the shop assistants who were working hard in the store reflexively looked at the door and greeted with a smile:
"Welcome light—"
It's a pity that I couldn't finish it.
The young clerk with blond hair and black skin, who is quite popular among JK, immediately froze his smile after seeing the customers who pushed the door in.He stared at the person coming, and tightly held the broom in his hands, as if he was considering whether to beat him out.
But in the end, Toru Amuro's professionalism as a coffee shop clerk won a phased victory in this battle between heaven and man.
"welcome."
He sadly repeated what he hadn't finished just now, taking advantage of his colleague Miss Xiao Zi's blind spot, staring at the visitor with fierce eyes and an expression of displeasure, "Excuse me, are you here alone?"
Although he didn't know that this guy, who looked suspicious no matter how he looked, would appear here alone...
But this is actually not that important. Anyway, Toru Amuro is ready to arrange someone to sit at the bar in front of him, watching his every move until the other party reveals his flaws.
However, it is a pity that the young man named Okiya Subaru seems to have seen through his intentions, and after glancing at the bar, he suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
"No, I have a date."
Okiya Subaru said to the coffee shop clerk whose expression suddenly became sharp because of his words, "The other party should be coming soon, so can you arrange a seat at the table?"
"Ah, yes, then please come with me."
Toru Amuro, who received a response, seemed to be indifferent, and he took him to the seat for two by the window, and at the same time, several familiar faces appeared in his mind.
Whether it's the blond woman with glasses or the burly man of German descent, they are all companions of "that man".As long as they appear here, it can once again prove that the person in front of them is the resurrected Akai Shuichi.
Hideichi Akai, whose pseudonym was Subaru Okiya, couldn't guess Toru Amuro's thoughts, but it was a pity that he was destined to be disappointed today.
"Excuse me," saw Toru Amuro getting ready to get the menu, Okiya Subaru immediately stopped him, "Please give me a cup of hot black coffee and a ham sandwich."
Amuro Toru's footsteps stopped immediately, he turned his head and stared at the other party, and said pointedly, "Oh? This guest is your first time here, so you know the characteristics of our store very well?"
Okiya Subaru was unhurried, as if he had already prepared to deal with his rhetoric, "Well...Of course I heard it from someone."
"I don't know who you heard from?"
The little detective who borrowed from the detective agency upstairs?Or the FBI who came to this store?
These questions are actually a bit out of line for an ordinary coffee shop clerk, but Okiya Subaru didn't look irritated at all, and even patiently answered all his interrogation-like inquiries.
"Naturally, I am a regular customer of this store."
That's what Okiya Subaru said, but in fact, he is not very clear whether Shana invited himself here for another purpose, or it is just like what she said——
She simply thought the ham sandwich at this coffee shop was delicious.
...is it really that delicious?
……
On this day, Edogawa Conan did not leave school with the boys detective team.
Walking back home from school with him were Mao Lilan, who rarely had club training today, and Suzuki Sonoko and Sera Masumi who had said on a whim that they would go to Poirot to have afternoon tea together.
No matter how you look at it, this should be an unusual afternoon——
It should have been like this.
It's a pity that this ordinary and warm afternoon came to an abrupt end the moment Mao Lilan pushed open the door of the coffee shop.
It is not a case that can instantly refresh the detectives who are drowsy from ordinary daily life on a sunny afternoon, but the scene may be more murderous than any crime scene.
At the moment, there is only one customer sitting by the window in Poirot Cafe. He is sitting by the window, drinking a steaming drink leisurely.Two clerks who were already acquainted with Conan and the others were standing behind the bar, their eyes fixed on each customer without exception.
It's just that compared to Miss Xiaozi's curiosity, the eyes of Mr. Amuro, who is always humble, gentle and polite beside her, are much fiercer.
He looked at the tea-haired guest sitting by the window with eyes as if he had seen his enemy for many years, wishing to tear him to pieces immediately.
——Conan and the others who opened the door saw such a scene.
"Welcome...ah, it's Miss Ran and Conan-kun! Are Miss Sonoko and Miss Sera here too?"
"Long time no see, Miss Xiaozi."
Conan, who knew the identities of the two, shuddered immediately after seeing this scene in the house. He didn't hear Miss Xiaozi's warm greeting at all, but showed an expression of "it's over".
It's over, it's really over, it's over in every sense.
So why is Mr. Akai, who usually cooks curry or potato goulash at Kudo's house and waits to send it to the next door, here! ! !
But it happened when Mr. Amuro was on duty! ! !
These two people won't talk about dangerous topics in front of Lan and the others and then fight directly in Poirot! ! !
Conan tremblingly followed Mori Ran and others into Poirot, and then sat next to Okiya Subaru under the arrangement of Amuro Toru.Mao Lilan and others who have met Okiya Subaru several times have already greeted Okiya Subaru cordially, and the attention of Conan, who is sitting next to Okiya Subaru, who is already sweating because of this Shura field...
But all of them were thinking about the meaningful smile that Toru Amuro showed to himself just now.
Eh?etc?So what's the situation? ? ?
For the first time, the young famous detective felt that he could not quickly understand the situation at the scene.
"Mr. Subaru..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
In the end, the little detective was driven by curiosity.He quietly moved his position while Toru Amuro was going to the bar to prepare a drink, he came to Okiya Subaru, quietly tugged at the other party's sleeve, and lowered his voice when the other party looked at him with a good temper Asked the doubts that popped up when he saw the other party's existence——
"Why are you here?"
This question was very presumptuous, but Conan knew that the other party understood what he meant.It's not that Poirot Cafe is a place where Okiya Subaru can't come, it's just...
There is also Toza Amuro, who managed to treat Akai Shuichi and Okiya Subaru as two people, and Okiya Subaru appeared here rashly, the risk is too great.
"Because of a little personal situation."
Okiya Subaru didn't hide from this little detective who was very curious and had cooperated with him many times. Anyway, even if he didn't say anything, the other party would definitely see it later.
So Okiya Subaru gave the answer very frankly, "Someone asked me to meet here."
The three of Mao Lilan were actually curious about the reason why Okiya Subaru appeared here. Hearing Okiya Subaru's answer at this moment, Sonoko immediately showed a gossip expression, "Could it be that Mr. Subaru's girlfriend?!"
"Oh, girlfriend~"
Sera Masumi still hasn't forgotten the hair and rubber bands she found at Kudo's house last time, and she also showed a very interested expression after hearing Sonoko's guess, "This is really exciting, isn't it, Mr. Amuro."
She didn't even forget to recruit a foreign aid for herself.
Conan was sweating coldly, pretending to be calm, watching Toru Amuro came to their table with drinks for four people, watching him put the drinks in front of everyone with a smile on his face, watching him pretending that nothing happened. The innocent look who didn't hear it stared at Okiya Subaru and said with a smile:
"Indeed, I'm looking forward to it."
There is murderous intent in these words!
Although I don't know what kind of enmity there is between these two people, but Conan, who can feel Amuro Toru's resentment and hatred towards Akai Shuichi, is sandwiched between the two, and he blocked part of the resentment for Okiya Subaru, I don't think I'm leaving or staying now.
By the way, isn't Mr. Akai's ex-girlfriend Haibara's sister? !No matter how you think about it, it can't be your girlfriend's, okay?
And Mr. Akai is not the kind of person who is so stupid that he would meet someone from the FBI in this kind of place, so who the hell is he dating here?
Conan, who was also curious about this matter, couldn't think of a reasonable answer.
"It's a pity that I have to live up to the expectations of a few of you."
Okiya Subaru didn't know the small thoughts of these people, but he just pretended that he didn't know anything, and answered very gently and calmly, "It's just a client who asked me to help her investigate some things."
After all, Toru Amuro was present, and Subaru Okiya couldn't use "old friend" to refer to Shana who has a special identity.
Although this may give Toru Amuro a chance to get news about "that person" - he also believes that Toru Amuro, who has a special identity, strong mobility, and first-class intelligence gathering skills, can definitely do it.
But if Shana's identity is exposed because of this, and Shana, who has been keeping a low profile, finds out that the information is coming from her side...
I'm afraid this time he will meet the revenge of the furious Shane.
Okiya Subaru understands the importance of it. After all, he was able to escape from Japan after his identity was exposed many years ago thanks to Shana's help behind the scenes. This kind of thing that will cause trouble for Shana and lead to more troubles should be done less. Better.
After getting this answer, Shiliang didn't immediately express disappointment like Sonoko did. She seemed more motivated, "Oh? So it's detective work, so maybe we can help."
"Uh……"
Sera Masumi glanced at Conan, who immediately made a strange noise after hearing his suggestion, and Amuro Toru, who was standing next to them and had no intention of leaving, and smiled happily.
"Not bad!" Yuanzi was the first to cheer, "It is said that there is strength in numbers. There are so many detectives here. Let us see if we can help."
"But, but..."
Sera Masumi pretended not to hear Conan's flustered answer, and continued to speak to Okiya Subaru:
"Whether it's an investigation of an affair where a boyfriend or husband is suspected of cheating, or an investigation of pre-marital behavior, it's fine."
She spoke very skillfully, as if she were a skilled detective, "If it's another incident... Although my reasoning level needs to be improved, there are still Conan-kun and Mr. Amuro here."
Having said that, Seira Masumi looked at Toru Amuro, half touting and half about to say, "Mr. Amuro won't refuse if you want to come, right?"
"Of course I won't refuse," Toru Amuro nodded, and even dragged someone into the water, "But my level is also very limited, if it's a case that neither of us can solve, I'm afraid I can only ask Mr. Mori for help. "
Conan: "..."
Are these people that busy?
In other words, if it is really just an affair investigation, do we really need to find so many detectives?
Conan, who was speechless, turned his head to look at Sera who took the lead in making a fuss, and saw that she, who was staring at Subaru Okiya, seemed to have sensed his gaze, and showed him a bright smile.
Even the little canine teeth were exposed.
However, in Conan's eyes, her expression can only be summed up in one sentence——
It’s not too big to watch the bustle.
The wind chime hanging on the door of the store made a tinkling sound, and the shop assistants who were working hard in the store reflexively looked at the door and greeted with a smile:
"Welcome light—"
It's a pity that I couldn't finish it.
The young clerk with blond hair and black skin, who is quite popular among JK, immediately froze his smile after seeing the customers who pushed the door in.He stared at the person coming, and tightly held the broom in his hands, as if he was considering whether to beat him out.
