The next day.
The sun was shining brightly and the oncoming morning breeze was cool and comfortable.
Poirot Cafe, 5-chome, Mika Town.
Ye Gengyi came here to have breakfast on an appointment.
It is definitely impossible for Kudo Shinichi to appear. Instead of the high school detective, the Mori father and daughter and Edogawa Conan will be replaced.
Say hello and take a seat.
After seeing everyone gathered, Takagi Shed picked up the menu and asked Ye Geng for his opinion. After receiving the reply of "a pot of coffee and anything else," he ordered sandwiches, desserts and two drinks for five people.
There are only 5 copies...are they not together?
Ye Geng glanced at the neighboring table on the left.
Kaito's future father-in-law, Nakamori Ginzo of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Section 2 and Intelligent Criminal Investigation Department, was looking out the window with a melancholy look on his face, and seemed to have no intention of communicating with them at all.
That direction is...
Ye Gengyi also cast his gaze out the window, but found nothing unusual.
There were no police cars, surveillance personnel, or suspicious surveillance vehicles nearby.
He had already observed this on the way here.
He is the only one...
So...what exactly is Nakamori Ginzo doing?
"The arrest was a matter of life and death. It was later learned that a criminal policeman bravely subdued the murderer at the threat of a pistol, and the police were able to successfully complete the arrest..."
Mao Lilan opened the newspaper brought from the office and said, "Is this the report about Officer Takagi?"
"Oh, yes……"
Takagi Wataru scratched his head in embarrassment, "Although my gun was originally taken away by the murderer, which turned into that situation..."
Ye Gengyi took a sip of coffee and took up the topic: "But the police need a positive report. If your mistakes are published truthfully, some people will deliberately ignore your achievements and focus on the problems in the operation. Criticism, of course, but the fact is that you did have the opportunity to avoid those omissions, you just didn’t take them.”
"I'm really sorry."
Takagi Wataru said ashamedly: "It was my mistake. The original honor for solving this case should have gone to Mr. Ye and Mr. Kudo."
"No. Your life is your own..."
Ye Gengyi shook his head slightly: "I just made a phone call."
"It'll be good if we can successfully break the case. Brother Geng and Brother Shinichi will definitely not care about this..." Conan tried to end the topic.
Last night, when he received an invitation from Takagi Wataru as Kudo Shinichi, his subconscious reaction was also to refuse.
But after hearing that Ye Gengyi had agreed to come out for breakfast, Conan hesitated again.
When two people meet again, it will definitely not be as quick as visiting a patient in the hospital. There is a high chance that the conversation will also talk about the serial murder case that has been solved.
After all, using the identity of Kudo Shinichi, a certain detective boy still wanted to follow up on the subsequent situation to avoid being noticed by Ye Gengyi.
"Yeah, it's great to be able to break the eucalyptus..."
Takagi She was distracted for a moment, remembering yesterday's kiss, his face turned red, "In every way..."
"Officer Takagi, your face is so red," Mao Lilan asked curiously, "Did something good happen to you?"
"Well……"
Takagi Wata quickly came to his senses and stammered: "No, it's nothing..."
What should you do if you are a criminal police officer? It's probably useless...
Ye Gengyi didn't know what happened in the ward yesterday. He only knew that Takagi Shedou was excited about reporting his personal heroic deeds.
"I know..."
Conan smiled and followed the topic: "I've seen it all!"
"Huh?"
Mao Lilan was curious, "What did you see?"
"It's Officer Takagi and Officer Sato in the ward..."
Conan ignored Takagi Wataru who almost turned over the table to gag him. Just as he was about to break the news, at the next table, he obviously wanted to go out and have a quiet breakfast alone, but unexpectedly met Ginzo Nakamori, an acquaintance. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said with emotion:
"Oh, what a joyful spring breeze... So this is where you guys who often win battles hold a celebration banquet?"
He successfully interrupted Conan's subsequent words by establishing his presence.
As if she had just discovered it, Mao Lilan said softly:
"Huh? It's Officer Nakamori!"
"But every time I fail to catch that thief who likes to put on makeup, I am forced to swallow the humiliation and unwillingness to burn my tongue again and again..."
Nakamori Ginzo picked up the coffee on the table and took a big sip.
The next second.
He turned his head and sprayed the coffee in his mouth on the floor:
"Poof! Hot, hot, hot..."
It’s okay if a table of detectives don’t have eyesight. When did being a detective no longer require brains?
Ye Gengyi hadn't yet gotten an answer from Kaito's 'old father-in-law' who didn't know where Mouri Kogoro lived. But after seeing this scene, he seemed to understand everything...
Azusa Enomoto hurriedly came over with a towel and apologized: "I'm sorry, did I make the coffee too hot?"
"It doesn't matter..."
Nakamori Ginzo wiped the coffee stains from the corners of his mouth and clothes with a towel, and waved his hand, "For me who is frustrated, this hot temperature is just right!"
"You were resigned?" Ye Geng asked straightforwardly.
He was a little surprised that he hadn't heard about this when he called Kaito yesterday.
"Cough cough cough!"
Ginzo Nakamori choked for a moment, and after noticing that the people at the table were already looking at him with pity and concern, he quickly explained: "No! In fact, it's just because there has been no news about Kaitou Kidd recently. I can’t muster the energy at all…”
It turned out to be pretentious... Ye Gengyi withdrew his gaze and continued to drink his coffee.
On the side, Mouri Kogoro said in a strange tone: "Didn't you read today's newspaper?"
"Newspaper? Oh..."
Nakamori Ginzo said that he had just listened to the conversation of several people, turned to Takagi Wataru, and said:
"No congratulations yet. You are from the team of Mr. Mu Mu... well, from the Mu Mu Police Department, right? You are a very good young man."
"Please, that's not what I meant."
Mouri Kogoro was speechless, "Xiaolan, let him take a look."
"Well, that's it."
Mao Lilan closed the newspaper, showed the cover, which was the photo of Kaitou Kidd that occupied almost two-thirds of the page, and read the content above:
"This is written on it is a letter of challenge from Kaitou Kidd to his old enemy Suzuki Jiro Yoshige..."
"What?!"
Nakamori Yinsan was stunned.
Um?
From what Kaito told me when he was on the phone, he probably didn't have any activities planned recently.
No way?
How many days have passed since yesterday to today...
Ye Gengyi frowned slightly in confusion.
He did not rush to get the newspaper to confirm, but looked at Takagi Wataru, observing the small wounds on the other person's face.
