"Are there any other clues?"
Mouri Kogoro looked at the photo on the coffee table, "Except for you two, don't the five members of the Kendo Club have Shibata Shiro's contact information?"
"Yes." Chibo Jinghua nodded, "After all, it was almost thirty years ago. We didn't have such a convenient tool as a mobile phone back then."
"Three, thirty years ago?!"
A toolman was shocked, "Are you over 40 years old?"
"Yes, I am 42 years old,"
Chiba Jinghua recalled fondly: "The photo was taken when I was in the second grade of junior high school. Shibata's appearance should have changed a lot."
It's actually so well maintained...
Mouri Kogoro said seriously, "So, what are your usual hobbies?"
"Well," Chibo Jinghua thought for a while, "Sorry, I'm not that familiar with him yet..."
"No, I'm asking you." Mouri Kogoro said: "Ms. Chiha, what do you usually like to do?"
ah?
Chibo Jinghua was startled, "Probably...it's knitting sweaters."
"That is to say," a certain tool man followed the topic closely, "you are really a virtuous person, so how are your cooking skills?"
"Not good at it at all..." Chibo Jinghua quickly stretched out his hand to show the band-aid on it, "I made this last night. Because I haven't used a kitchen knife for a long time, it left three places stained."
"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, after all, a little bit of flaws makes you even cuter..."
"Sorry." Chibo Jinghua interrupted a certain tool man's harassment with a strong smile.
She turned to look at Ye Gengyi, "I've been wanting to ask you since just now, are you also a detective in the agency?"
"Oh, him." Mouri Kogoro answered naturally, "He is a junior who admires me. Occasionally I will take him to experience the process of solving crimes."
"Sorry," Ye Gengyi said with a serious face, "Mr. Maoli, you can just chat. Can you pretend that I don't exist?"
A tool man: "..."
Can't this kid cooperate with me just once?
Chibo Jinghua: "..."
It's unmistakable, he should be the Saradachi brother that Heiji often talks about...
Here, Mouri Kogoro adjusted his mentality and continued to strengthen his offensive: "By the way, Ms. Chiha, I would like to ask, is your profession a lawyer or something like that?"
"No, after I graduated from college, I have been staying at home to help...ahem..."
In order to prevent Mouri Kogoro from continuing to ask irrelevant questions, Ikeha Jinghua had to pretend to be uncomfortable with the office environment.
After being asked, he quickly revealed that he had bronchitis.
immediately.
The five people came to the Poirot Coffee Shop downstairs.
Public places.
Mouri Kogoro's attitude naturally calmed down a lot, and the topic soon shifted back to the commission, "You are looking for Mr. Shibata just to ask him to return the photos to you?"
"Yes, a while ago, my grandmother accidentally made a mistake and lost the medal that I won when I participated in the kendo competition," Ikeha Jinghua said with helplessness, "So I would like to ask you to find Mr. Shibata, at least... It would be nice to find that photo.”
Mouri Kogoro wondered: "Then why is the photo at Mr. Shibata's side?"
"That was many years ago. I used that photo as a bookmark and put it in the book I borrowed from him," Chibo Jinghua said. "By the time I remembered, he had already moved... .”
"Oh?" After hearing this, Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up, "Then is Mr. Shibata your first love?"
"Well, he was just a senior in the Kendo Club back then."
When Chi Bo Jinghua said this, from the corner of his eye, he clearly noticed Ye Gengyi looking towards him.
Just when she was about to take the opportunity to ask something.
The waiter who had been standing by the aisle waiting couldn't help but said: "Sir, Madam... have you decided what you want to order?"
"Uh...a glass of ice water." Mouri Kogoro considered his financial situation.
"Then I want iced lemon tea." Mao Lilan said.
"REIKO..."
Um?
Conan, who was looking at the menu, was startled.
"Who is this?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that he often calls me that..." Chibo Jinghua covered up: "Because he said that my personality is very similar to a female student named REIKO in the book he borrowed from me..."
"REIKO, Reiko?"
Ye Gengyi repeated it and asked: "Could it be that the title of that book contains words like Book of Friends?"
"ah?"
Not only Chiba Jinghua, but also Conan was at a loss.
Since Brother Gengyi asked this, this title must be a very important clue...
REIKO...
Reiko...
Why can't I think of any book with such a female character...
Damn it, as expected of Brother Geng Yi, his mind spins so fast.
Soon a certain detective was pulling his hair again.
However, a certain detective can remain silent, but Chibo Jinghua has to face this problem.
"probably?"
She was a little uncertain and said: "Because so many years have passed, I can't remember things like names very clearly."
"Really?" Ye Geng said, "People with lively personalities tend to forget easily."
Eh?
Did you actually let yourself be fooled?
Chi Bo Jinghua blinked, feeling that although the two of them were not talking about one thing, they seemed to have reached a surprising tacit understanding.
According to Heiji, this young man named 'Genichi' is indeed a person with a very strange personality...
"Ahem...I want a cup of iced coffee." After searching the knowledge base to no avail, Conan decided to sober up.
"Then I'm just like this kid." Chibo Jinghua said.
"Sir?" The waiter looked at Ye Gengyi.
"Coffee." Ye Geng paused, "Hot..."
Everyone: "..."
It's so unconventional, it should get cold soon.
Because the only information Ikeha Jinghua can provide is this group photo of the club.
Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment, but still couldn't think of a way to solve the puzzle.
"In that case, can you borrow that person's wisdom?"
Chiba Jinghua suggested: "I often hear people say that there is a detective named Kudo Shinichi who has a very good mind..."
She saw Mouri Kogoro, and Ye Gengyi happened to be there too. Chihao Jinghua was thinking about whether to go through all the acquaintances in Tokyo that her son often mentioned...
Wait, how did this get spread?
Portraits of gin and vodka come to mind.
At this moment, a certain detective also took the initiative to forget about his "making trouble" and "not holding back".
Just when he was thinking about whether he should exercise more restraint in his future reasoning.
Ye Gengyi suddenly said: "Although that child has a good mind, his personality is quite strange. It is better not to let him have contact with general entrustments."
Eh? ? ?
"Brother Gengyi...you and Shinichi..."
"I have assisted the police in investigating a murder case in a hotel before," Ye Gengyi said. "While solving the case, I noticed that he would have a gloomy expression from time to time. When speaking, he would also deliberately imitate the villains in movies and TV shows, covering his head and holding his forehead. , breathing heavily..."
He looked at Shizuka Chiha: "If you invite Kudo Shinichi to a classmate you haven't seen for many years, maybe he will be frightened."
Chibo Jinghua: "..."
Are all the friends my son has just made here so unique?
Conan: "..."
Hey, hey, it’s obviously that the antidote’s effect has ended, okay? This is what I usually do...
Mao Lilan: "..."
In this way, Brother Gengyi seems to have described the situation that he saw a few times...
"so..."
Ye Gengyi concluded: "The second grade of high school is really the age of the second grade..."
