"Jingle Bell!"
"Welcome! What would you like to eat?"
Because it was getting late and the restaurant was almost closing, Kano Shuji was cleaning glasses behind the counter.
"Just a cup of coffee and a peanut-blueberry jam sandwich."
Hearing the customer's order, Kano Shuji put down his cup and looked at the door.
"Hey, aren't you the young man who was with Miwako today?"
Looking at the white-haired girl at the door, Kano Shuji looked a little surprised.
Shirakawa Yuki said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Luye, we meet again. I heard that your restaurant is doing very well, so I wanted to come over and have a try."
Kano Shuji nodded, "Please sit down!"
After that, he turned and headed to the kitchen.
But although it was said to be the kitchen, it was actually not very far from the dining area, so he could completely hear what Shirakawa Yuki was saying.
Shirakawa Yuki suddenly said: "I heard that tomorrow is Mr. Shikano's fiftieth birthday. I wish Mr. Shikano a happy birthday in advance!"
Shikano Shuji's voice came from the kitchen, "Haha, thank you very much. Although I am about to turn fifty, there is actually nothing to celebrate.
But how did you know, little girl? Miwako probably doesn’t know about this either! "
Shirakawa Yuki said with a smile: "It's okay, today is not the death anniversary of Officer Sato's father. Officer Sato is more concerned about his father's case, and suddenly thought that Mr. Kano, you might know something about this matter.
I just wanted to go to Qiqu Tavern to have a look, and I found out from the boss that tomorrow is Mr. Luye’s birthday. "
The voice fell, and Shikano Shuji didn't answer for a long time. Shirakawa Yuki glanced at the time, and it was already twelve o'clock in twenty-four minutes!
the other side.
Officer Sato and his team are still looking for the whereabouts of Officer Takagi, but they have gained nothing for the time being.
Officer Sato took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, then pursed his lips.
In the car, because Officer Sato repeatedly told the children not to run around, and they also knew that it would not be helpful in finding Officer Takagi himself.
So everyone, including Conan, stayed in the car trying to find out the pattern of arsonists setting fires.
Genta looked at the people outside the car window and said angrily: "Damn it, Sister Haruna left us alone to go to that restaurant.
How about ordering fried chicken or pork skewers now? "
Mitsuhiko was a little speechless, "I really admire you, why are you thinking only about eel and chicken and pork!"
Xiao Ai also said: "If you don't eat some vegetables, you will die very quickly!"
Hearing her words, Ayumi's eyes lit up, "I thought about it, the bad guy I saw also said it would be over if there was only one vegetable left!"
"vegetable?"
Ayumi nodded, "Well, I remember he said vegetables or some appetizer!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ai raised her head, looked at Conan, and then said in unison: "Eve Festival!"
Hearing what the two said, the three little ones were a little confused. Mitsuhiko asked curiously: "What is the eve of the festival?"
The two didn't speak, they just took the map and looked at it, and then showed a confident smile.
"Crunch!"
Mitsuhiko heard the sound and turned his head to look.
"Hey, Conan, and Haiyuan, how come you..."
Xiao Ai smiled faintly, "I'm closing the door!"
Mitsuhiko responded in a daze: "Oh!"
Looking at the two people leaving, Yuantai said angrily: "Hey, Conan and Haibara, you are too deceitful! Where are you going?"
Xiao Ai turned back to look at him and said with a smile: "Stay in the car until we come back!"
After that, he turned around and walked with Conan in the direction of Officer Megure.
On the way, Xiao Ai turned around and glanced at Conan beside her, and joked: "Why don't you go solve the case with Haruna?"
Conan sneered and said, "Compared to Chou Silang's case, I'm more concerned about Officer Takagi's safety!"
Xiao Ai curled her lips and said, "Tell the truth."
Conan's face was dark and he said helplessly: "She already knows the truth about that case. I don't have any sense of accomplishment in solving the case by following her."
Hearing his own admission, Xiao Ai was in a good mood and hummed the song she had listened to recently.
Conan glanced at her, "Are you happy to hear that I'm not as good as her?"
"uh-huh!"
Xiao Ai was noncommittal.
Conan asked curiously: "Why do you have such a good relationship with her?"
Xiao Ai glanced at him and then said: "Secret!"
After saying that, he accelerated his progress.
Seeing Haiyuan Ai suddenly accelerating, Conan was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Hey, wait for me!"
On the other side, the three little ones who were left behind in the car looked at each other in shock.
Yuantai complained: "Why do the three of us have to look at the car here!"
Suddenly, a long-haired man with an evil smile and a peaked cap passed by the car.
Looking at his familiar look, Ayumi showed a horrified expression.
Seeing Ayumi who was feeling a little out of sorts, Mitsuhiko asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, Ayumi?"
Ayumi pointed at the man with a scared look on her face and said tremblingly: "That's him, that's the bad guy I saw!"
…
"Please enjoy!"
Not long after, Shikano Shuji walked out with the coffee and sandwiches ordered by Shirakawa Yuki.
After taking a bite of the sandwich, Shirakawa Yuki's eyes lit up. It tasted very good!
Shirakawa Yuki raised her head, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Shikano stayed in Italy for three years?"
Kano Shuji nodded, "Yes, it was after that that I opened this restaurant."
After taking a sip of coffee, Shirakawa Yuki said leisurely: "Speaking of it, eighteen years have passed since the case of Officer Masayoshi Sato! If the murderer had also stayed abroad for three years, today would be the final time to arrest him!"
Hearing her words, Kano Shuji's eyes flashed, "Ms. Hoshino, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush with an old guy like me."
Shirakawa Yuki smiled, "Mr. Shikano knows my name?"
Kano Shuji shrugged, "Famous high school detective Haruna Hoshino, you are very famous."
Shirakawa Yuki said with a smile: "Mr. Shikano is just kidding. I'm just here to help Officer Sato. She also has important things over there."
Shikano Shuji raised his eyebrows, "Help Miwako?"
Shirakawa Yuki didn't sell out to him anymore, "At that time, Officer Masayoshi Sato wrote the clue "kano" in the police manual, but no one knew the true meaning of "kano."
Although Kano Shuji still looked calm, when she mentioned Kano, Shirakawa Yuki noticed that his eyes fluctuated.
Seeing this, she continued: "Interestingly, I discovered that Mr. Luye, your last name is Luye, and the Roman pronunciation of it is kano!
And by asking Mr. Saruwatari and the others, I also learned that Kano is the nickname Mr. Masayoshi Sato gave you in high school. "
Luye Shuji smiled, "What does this mean, little girl, I'm afraid this cannot be used as evidence!"
Shirakawa Yuki shrugged, "Of course not. To be honest, I don't have any evidence to directly prove that you were the murderer at that time. After all, eighteen years have passed."
Hearing this, Shikano Shuji chuckled and said, "Just kidding, I'm not the murderer at all. Of course you won't have any evidence."
Shirakawa Yuki didn't comment, just nibbling on the sandwich.
