No. 22, 2-chome, Yoneka-cho.
When Ye Gengyi walked into the living room, he found Haiyuan Ai, wearing a children's white coat, sitting in front of the coffee table, looking at something on his notebook seriously.
"The doctor isn't here?" he casually broke the silence.
"You, you're back..."
Hui Yuan Ai was obviously startled and turned to look at Ye Geng:
"Well, the doctor is a little tired. Let's go back to the room to sleep first..."
Then, she briefly recounted the story of the two of them going to the ski resort to practice skiing during the day, and then said:
"Also... Edogawa called last night and asked if you were at home and if you went to Okutama. He seemed to suspect that Kaitou Kid was disguised as you... I didn't know what was going on for a while, so I had no choice but to tell him that you received an invitation from the White Horse Detective and went out to attend the appointment."
"Well, I stopped by there to have a look, but things seemed too sensational, and more and more reporters gathered around there, so I left midway."
Ye Geng said noncommittally, "As long as you know this, don't tell the little detective. If you have any doubts, let him guess slowly."
"Well..." Hui Yuan Ai nodded and smiled, "You're right."
She paused and continued: "So... if there is no party attended by that god of death from Edogawa, does that mean nothing bad happened?"
"..."
Seeing a certain Lolita's expression of 'It's done', Ye Gengyi was silent for a moment, but still didn't tell the other party that what he encountered during this relaxing trip was far more terrifying than an ordinary murderous eucalyptus.
"Make me a pot of coffee. This is a new flavor."
Immediately, he skipped the topic about the [Strange Pavilion] without any foreshadowing, put the shopping bag next to the coffee table, turned around and went to the bathroom to rinse off and change clothes.
When I came out, there was not only a pot of coffee on the coffee table, but also a bowl of noodles.
Hui Yuan Ai said:
"I cooked soba noodles, so I don't want to eat the umeboshi bento at night. It's very salty and hard to eat."
I suspect you despise the taste of vodka...
Ye Geng nodded and expressed his gratitude.
After finishing dinner and putting the coffee into jars, he looked at the points coupons in the bag. To be on the safe side, he tore them into pieces and threw them into the trash can:
"I just forgot to ask, are you taking the doctor to go skiing as a punishment for his recent unsatisfactory physical examination report?"
"...Who do you think I am?" Haiyuan Ai said with half-moon eyes.
"Well, I'm going to bed. Don't stay up too late." Ye Gengyi yawned and walked towards the bedroom.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻...You should listen to my explanation!
Hui Yuan Ai was depressed.
…
He slept until the next morning.
Neither the doctor nor Xiao Ai, who had stayed up until what time, got up.
Well... today should still be a day off.
Ye Gengyi made a simple judgment.
According to the standard schedule, he washed, cooked, helped Xue Li cook some chicken breasts, and ate. Just when he was about to go to the basement to sort out the materials that had not been touched for two days, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
So early?
Ye Geng glanced at the clock on the wall.
6:30.
He walked over and looked at the phone number. It was the Maori Detective Agency.
"Hello?"
"Brother Gengyi, morning~" Conan's malicious and cute voice came from the other end.
(_)...Is it possible that today's good luck will end at this time?
Ye Gengyi was silent.
"Brother Gengyi?" Conan waited for a few seconds and didn't hear a reply, so he was inevitably a little confused.
"I'm here." Ye Gengyi calmed down his divergent thoughts.
"Is such that……"
Conan said: "I just heard from Sister Xiaolan that brother Yingyou will be coming to the office later. It seems that he has some entrustment and wants to ask uncle for help, so I wanted to ask if you have time to come over here? "
My friend Yingyou went to the office, and the little detective invited me... What kind of idea is this?
While Ye Gengyi was thinking, he casually asked: "How much is the commission fee?"
"ah?"
Conan was obviously not prepared for Ye Gengyi's question. After being choked for a moment, Conan hesitantly said:
"This...I'm not very sure. Brother Gengyi, why don't you come directly to the Poirot Cafe below the office? When brother Yingyou comes over later, let's listen together...By the way, I heard There seems to be a new batch of coffee beans in the store, and they taste great.”
This kid...
"I know, I'll be there later. Do you have anything else to do?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"No, we are waiting for you in the store."
After Conan finished speaking with a smile, he let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the "kacha" sound of the phone being hung up.
Early this morning, while he was still washing, he heard a call from Mao Lilan and Bentang Yingyou.
The suspicious high school student who he had pretended to be trapped in last night had unexpectedly pursued him so relentlessly.
Conan still couldn't figure it out.
Why is it that the other party is clearly trying to find out about Shui Wu Liannai, but he deliberately avoids Brother Geng Yi?
It must be investigated clearly!
…
5-chome, Poirot Coffee Shop downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.
Azusa Enomoto, who had long brown hair, put several cups of coffee and juice on the table and looked at the people who came to take care of business early in the morning with some confusion.
"What trouble have you encountered?" Ye Gengyi looked at his friend Yingyou and asked directly.
"Uh, that...is actually not me..." Yingyou sweated profusely.
Why, why did I choose to come to the office early in the morning, and still met this teacher Ye.
Here it comes again, his attitude in front of Brother Geng Yi, there is indeed something wrong with this man!
Conan stared at Hondo Eiyu without blinking, trying to find some clues on the high school student's face.
The topic was interrupted as soon as it started.
This hall Yingyou's hesitation immediately attracted the attention of a certain tool man.
"trouble?"
Mouri Kogoro put down the newspaper in his hand and cast his gaze over: "You are such a reckless boy, could you have accidentally bumped into someone on the way here and escaped?"
"No!" Our hall Yingyouhan.
Just because I saw Ye Gengyi present, I hesitated for a moment, wondering whether I should continue to take out the commission that I had prepared in advance.
"What's going on, Xiaolan?" Mouri Kogoro frowned, "Forget it, why is this boy Eiyu here running over so early in the morning?"
"What does it matter, dad, why are you so cruel..."
Mao Lilan hurriedly explained, "I originally wanted to say, Dad, you have been staying in the bathroom looking for a razor in the morning. I saw that the time was almost 7 o'clock anyway, so I thought I would just wait for my classmate to come over. chat."
"Yes, brother Yingyou, please tell me quickly."
Conan fanned the fire from the side, "Uncle and brother Gengyi are here, I can definitely help you solve it."
Facing everyone's gaze, Yingyou couldn't think of any other words for a moment, so he could only say truthfully:
"Actually, I came here today because I found a very interesting eucalyptus."
"Eucalyptus?!"
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up: "How much is the reward? Is the client a rich person?"
Yesterday's commission of 'Disposal of Corpses on Acupo Central Bridge' was successfully solved, but he didn't receive even a dime of the commission fee.
result……
"No," the main hall Yingyou explained sweatily: "The content is what I saw on the Internet, and there is no client..."
This inexplicable answer made Mouri Kogoro directly send an iron fist.
Do you think you are being taken advantage of?
He refused directly without thinking: "Do you think I am doing charity for public welfare!"
"Dad, at least listen to the contents of the commission first!"
"Yes, uncle, you have time today, right?"
Seeing this, Conan quickly cooperated with Mao Lilan and began to persuade: "Because today is the day to sort out Miss Okino Yoko's video tapes!"
"Uh... you brat..." Mouri Kogoro felt like he was being stabbed in the back, and looked helplessly at Hondo Eiyu, "Okay, okay, just say it!"
Ye Gengyi was holding coffee from the side and drinking it silently.
The little detective's attitude and the reaction of Bentang Yingyou gave him a basic idea of this morning's invitation.
It should be that after he left yesterday, Hondo Eiyou had some slight changes in his attitude or behavior, which caused the little detective to have new doubts about the identity of this high school student who looked very similar to Reina Minami.
To put it simply, it is to prepare for a new work.
In the past, as long as it involved organizational matters, the little detective would definitely try his best to prevent more people from getting involved.
Now it seems that this is the rhythm of preparing to send me a 'good guy card' before the danger really comes...
