The next day, 8 o'clock.
Dr. A Li's house.
Ye Gengyi looked at the people in front of him and confirmed what he heard before in an uncertain tone, "Gift Day? What is that?"
"To put it simply, it's a festival created by Sister Yuanzi and Sister Xiaolan, female high school students themselves." Conan explained from the side with half-moon eyes.
"Go, go, go, you brat, what do you know!"
Suzuki Sonoko directly drove aside the detective who revealed the truth, and turned to Ye Geng: "Because the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, so we thought that if we buy some gifts for each other, maybe we can let the recipient Those who receive the gift will feel full of warmth!"
"I see," Ye Geng nodded, and stretched out his hand in front of a certain tool man, "Mr. Maoli?"
"Eh? Gengyi, what are you doing?" Mouri Kogoro was shocked.
"Huh?" Ye Gengyi wondered, "Isn't it because you came today to give me a thank you gift because I helped you in Karuizawa?"
"That...that..."
A certain tool man sweats.
Although he was not prepared, is it appropriate for you, as the party involved, to ask for something like a thank you gift directly?
"Brother Gengyi, I'm sorry, we haven't prepared the gift yet," Mao Lilan hurriedly came to the rescue, "But we are going to the department store over there in Abeto to buy things later. Brother Gengyi, please come with us. "
Speaking of this, Mao Lilan came over again and whispered: "Because Dad made Mom angry on the wedding anniversary, so after discussing with Yuanzi, I made up such a day just to let him buy a gift. Then I sent it to my mother to apologize..."
"Acupo Department Store..." Ye Gengyi thought for a moment, "Well, let's go together, there just aren't many things in the refrigerator."
"Hey, let's go now!" Suzuki Sonoko, the leader of the organization of the 'Gift Day', waved her hand, and then called everyone...together they went to the stop sign to board the bus.
"..."
Mouri Kogoro was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I'll just drive."
...
Ye Gengyi sat in the passenger seat.
In the back row, two elementary school students gathered together.
Conan squinted at a certain loli and said, "Hey, why are you here too?"
Hui Yuan Ai asked: "Why, can't it be done?"
"Haha... I always feel that buying gifts or something is not suitable for you." Conan said: "And who are you giving it to?"
"Don't worry, it can't be you anyway." Haiyuan Ai yawned.
Counting Ye Gengyi out for the past few days, plus last night.
In order to study the antidote for APTX-4869, she stayed up all night again.
Suddenly, I felt a little nostalgic for the days when a certain dead fish eye was at home. At least I could use this as an excuse to take a rest early.
After Conan was criticized, he didn't dare to refute anything.
I started to think about whether I should take this opportunity to give Xiaolan a gift...
The entire journey was silent.
8:45 am.
Aipido Department Store opens on time.
Although the 'Gift Day' was made up by a few people, there are actually quite a few people who came here to buy things today.
"Want pumpkin porridge tomorrow morning?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Okay." Hui Yuan Ai nodded. There was no need to get up early to cook anyway, he could eat whatever he wanted.
After the two selected in the fruits and vegetables area for a while, they went to the meat counter to see if the beef and mutton were fresh.
"The weather is getting colder, so eating hot pot is a good choice." Ye Gengyi said.
Seeing this, Haibara Ai suggested, "It's better to go back to Mihua Town to buy the meat."
"That's fine." Ye Geng nodded and prepared to meet up with a few people.
He is more efficient when shopping, but he ignores the unique skills of women, namely shopping and difficulty in making choices.
So when he came to the garment district.
I saw Conan and Mouri Kogoro sitting on the bench outside, looking as if they were beyond love.
It's only less than half an hour, isn't it?
Ye Gengyi suspected that this was a kind of suppression from blood, so he was not prepared to try it.
"One more..."
"Brother Gengyi..."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Gengyi simply said hello and then asked: "When will you go back?"
"Eh? Didn't we just get here?"
Before the two of them spoke, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko poked their heads out from behind the clothes rack.
However, when they noticed the shopping bags Ye Geng was holding in both hands, they remained silent for a moment.
So efficient...
"When will you go back?" Ye Gengyi looked calm and asked again in the direction of the two of them.
The two girls were ashamed.
Suzuki Sonoko came over with a gloomy look on her face, "Brother Gengichi, don't be so disappointed, we just arrived not long ago!"
"Well," Ye Geng nodded and asked, "How long will it take?"
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
If we continue chatting, I really have no interest at all...
"Well..." Mao Lilan quickly came over with a sweater, "Brother Gengyi, what do you think of this dress?"
"I'm much taller than Kudo Shinichi, so it's not appropriate to use me as a model." Ye Gengyi said.
Mao Lilan lowered his head: "..."
"Pfft," Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that even Brother Geng knows what our Mrs. Kudo is thinking."
"Hey, hey, you lady, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing his daughter's face flushed, a certain person was not happy.
He walked over, grabbed the black sweater, and put it back on the shelf.
"Hey, uncle," Suzuki Sonoko said, "We are also helping you choose a gift for your aunt!"
Mouri Kogoro was silent.
It means that it has been grasped.
"Brother Genichi, since you don't like that one..." Suzuki Sonoko showed a victorious smile, turned around and handed over the sweater in her hand, "How about you try this one?"
Light pink, with two white deer woven on the chest?
hehe...
Imagine Ye Gengyi wearing this dress, everyone except a certain eldest lady couldn't help but shudder.
"Isn't it...too cute?" Mao Lilan said.
cute?
"Ahem...wrong, wrong, this is it!" Suzuki Sonoko noticed the problem and quickly handed over the other sweater in his hand.
blue?
"But, I don't think it's as good as the black one..." Mao Lilan said weakly.
"That one can't be done, it has to be hand-knitted... Oops." Suzuki Sonoko reacted and quickly covered her mouth.
"Hand-knitted sweater?" Mao Lilan stared over, "So, the 'gift day' you mentioned to me is actually because you want to give someone a gift..."
"Shh, uncle is still over there!" Suzuki Sonoko laughed dryly, and it was too late to make up for it, so she could only say calmly: "It just so happens that this opportunity is rare, I also want to give A-Zhen a gift! As for your father and aunt , anyway, as long as the result is good, that’s fine.”
"There's really nothing we can do about you." Mao Lilan was helpless.
"Hey, so let's invite Brother Genichi to be a model!" Suzuki Sonoko said.
"Sorry, if you try on a sweater, please let me refuse." Ye Gengyi said.
"Eh? Why..."
"Easily generates static electricity."
"Static...static..."
"Well," Ye Geng said: "Not to mention the harm to electronic products, the static electricity generated by drying can also have an impact on the brain. For example, it can cause abnormal current conduction in nerve cell membranes, affect the human central nervous system, and make people feel tired and irritable. , insomnia, headache..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute...Brother Geng Yi!"
Suzuki Sonoko quickly interrupted someone's narration.
Because she felt that if she continued to listen, she would be imprisoned for deliberate murder!
