A cafe near Didan Primary School.
The newly printed book was spread out and laid flat on the table.
Five children were sitting in a row on the sofa, with Haibara Ai in the middle, Conan and Ayumi on one side, and Mitsuhiko and Genta on the other. Five pairs of eyes were staring straight at the pages of the book.
Xiaolin Chengzi could only sit on the sofa opposite Chi Feichi. When she saw the waiter carrying a tray to the table, he reached out to bring the ice coffee to the table and moved it to Chi Feichi who was sitting by the window. "Mr. Chi, your ice coffee."
Chi Feichi sent an email on his mobile phone without raising his head and said, "Thank you."
Seeing the waiter bring her hot coffee, Xiaolin Chengzi reminded the five children, "Your juice is also here."
"Ah?" Conan turned to the waiter and said, "Just put it on the table, thank you."
The other four children didn't even raise their heads. Mitsuhiko said, "I've finished reading these two pages. What about you?"
"I've finished reading it too."
"Me too, where is Conan?"
"I've finished reading it a long time ago."
"Then I'll turn the page."
Seeing that the five children didn't even care to drink the juice, Kobayashi Chengzi stirred the hot coffee with some melancholy.
These five kids really wish they could be so attentive in class.
When she said this, she really remembered that although the five children had good grades, Haibara-san finished the exam papers in advance twice and secretly chatted on her mobile phone; Edogawa-san had to go to school every few days during class I got distracted. This morning when I wrote the Chinese character for '女', I didn't write it in the order of the strokes. I knew it was an attitude problem. Kojima-san is usually fine, but when the topic of 'food' came up in class, I got confused. I started leading my classmates in the direction of 'Is it delicious?' and 'Is the eel rice delicious?'; Yoshida-san and Tsuburaya-san should have the best learning attitude, but sometimes they would talk to the other three students during class. Let’s talk quietly together...
By the way, she remembered that one time Edogawa-san suddenly ran out of the classroom during class.
"Beep beep beep..."
Chi Feichi sat aside and sent emails on his case phone with the fingers of his right hand flexibly.
Xiaolin Chengzi silently counted the five classroom disciplines that the children had violated. She sighed and felt deeply that it was not easy for her as a teacher. She turned to look at Chi Feichi and began to sigh in her heart. It turned out that what Mr. Chi said was true. In the coffee The people sitting in the hall are obviously more relaxed than in school, and they even put their elbows on the table and lean forward to send emails.
Just... go out to have a cup of coffee. Everyone is busy with their own business. Doesn't anyone find that she is bored and come to chat with her?
Seeking attention.
After Chi Fei finished sending an email, he noticed that Xiaolin Chengzi was looking at him, closed his phone, and turned his head in confusion.
As soon as Xiaolin Chengzi saw that someone noticed her, she immediately smiled back, "Mr. Chi, do you have something important to deal with?"
"There are a few things to confirm."
Chi Feichi did not put away the phone, but put it on the table by the window, lowered his eyes and took a sip of coffee.
Kobayashi Seiko didn't ask what was going on. She also took a sip of coffee and felt that she had finally regained the atmosphere of resting in a coffee shop. "It's a bit cold today. Mr. Chi also chose to drink iced coffee. Is it because he really likes it?"
"It's suitable to drink cold drinks in winter." Chi Feichi said.
A question popped up in Xiaolin Chengzi's mind, "Is this...what's the point?"
"No, it's personal preference."
"Yeah……"
Although the communication often left people speechless, Kobayashi Chengzi, who didn't want to be alone in a daze, persisted and let herself talk more and more.
"Mr. Chi just reminded me not to act on my own will and do bad things with good intentions, right?" Xiaolin Chengzi said with emotion, "But just say it, don't look at me with such a fierce look..."
Chi Feichi felt that he was wronged. He lowered his head and looked at Feichi, who had his head on his collar: His eyes were fierce. How could he be so fierce?
Feichi guessed what Chi Feichi wanted to confirm. The snake's face was expressionless, and its eyes were dark and cold, "Master, absolutely not, I didn't feel murderous intent just now!"
Chi Feichi looked back. That's right, he didn't have any malice at all just now. How could his eyes be so fierce? If Kobayashi Sumiko slanders him again, he will beat up Shiratori Rensaburo tomorrow.
"I was really at a loss at that time," Kobayashi Chengzi was crazy and indulged in soliloquy communication. She was not affected by whether the other party responded or not. She just complained, "It was as if I had done something wrong. I suddenly remembered that when I was in elementary school, the head teacher was really strict..."
Opposite me, Conan yawned and waited for Haihara Ai to finish turning the page before continuing to read.
He also felt uncomfortable being stared at by Chi Feichi sometimes. He wasn't very fierce, but he definitely couldn't match the gentleness, and he had a very strange feeling, as if he could see through his disguise and see his heart at a glance. No matter how deep you look, you can't tell whether Chi Feichi has discovered anything or suspected anything...
Being stared at by that weird yet calm gaze, anyone else would also feel uneasy and uncomfortable, right?
On the other hand, this guy Haiyuan seems to have no feeling at all. He is really selectively blind in both eyes.
Haiyuan Ai read the contents of the left and right pages and waited for others to nod before continuing to turn the pages, feeling gradually depressed.
Chi Feichi had already talked about the previous paragraph, so they skipped part of it, right after Su Hairentai finished getting angry.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have expected Brother Fei Chi, who was "weak in expressing interest", to tell a story. It was like drawing a "diagram of crime methods". Writing it down like this was obviously much more detailed than what Brother Fei Chi said.
They had just seen Jinta Sukai being asked by Naruko Anchor if he liked noodles. When others were teasing and asking, Jinta Sukai shyly and awkwardly blurted out - 'Who would like such an ugly monster?', and the subsequent memories inner monologue.
['I thought she would cry, because Mianma has always loved crying, but...'
That day, Meiko Honma stared at him blankly, and when he looked over, she tried her best to put on a smile.
…
'That smiling face has always been lingering in my heart. I thought it would be enough to apologize the next day, but that 'next day' never came'...]
Ayumi looked on with a look of sympathy and sadness.
Hui Yuan Ai looked up at the others and found that even Conan had a heavy look on his face. He sighed inwardly and began to consider that this story might not be suitable for children, and... silently turned the pages.
No matter, she was going to read it in one sitting today anyway.
The five children continued to gather together and concentrate on reading.
After seeing Meiko Honma go home alone, her mother still worried about her who had died long ago, and Meiko Honma leaving quietly, Ayumi's eyes turned red.
Hui Yuan Ai turned the page, saw the first two paragraphs, and comforted, "It's okay, Su Hai is catching up."
"Well..." Ayumi nodded, a little hope rising in her heart.
Unfortunately, the situation that the five children imagined that "Jinta Sukai found Meiko Honma all at once" did not happen. Jinta Sukai found the hut where she gathered as a child, and only saw Bobo, and then another period of "superhero" created by the childlike innocence of the past. The memories of the peaceful busters' kill.
Ayumi regained her sympathetic yet sad expression.
Hui Yuan Ai gritted her teeth in her heart, so she just said, Brother Fei Chi's dictation of the story was not reliable at all. That night they asked Su Hairen, "Have you found the face code?", Brother Fei Chi said "I found it" and dismissed it. Yes, too much has been omitted.
She chose to turn the page and fill in the content she skipped at the front in the future!
The rest of the story was quite relaxed. After Bobo appeared, the painting style seemed to become more amusing. The five children gradually relaxed and laughed from time to time.
Xiaolin Chengzi saw the five children looking sad at one moment and laughing at the other. Apart from being confused, she was also a little curious. She wanted to ask if they were really that good-looking and wanted to get involved. However, when she turned around and saw that Chi Fei Chi was looking at his phone again, but he endured it.
Well, she is a mature adult woman, and she needs to be reserved when facing the kind of story books that children read!
On the side, Chi Feichi stared at the content of the email and lowered his eyes.
[The boss said that the person is definitely Numabuchi Kiichiro. ——Mihua 6】
The first time he noticed someone watching them was when they left school, so he took the opportunity to go to the car to get a book and looked through the rearview mirror of the car where he suspected someone was watching, otherwise he would have sent Haihara Ai there. You can just take out the books from Dr. A Li's place, it doesn't have to be at the school gate.
Later, he agreed to come to the coffee shop because he didn't see the other person at the time and wanted to find a place where the non-Mexican army birds could find out who the other party was.
On his way to the school, there must have been no one following him, otherwise he would have been discovered by the crows. Then the other person who appeared at the school should be following Sumiko Kobayashi or someone from the Junior Detective Team.
He originally guessed whether this was something Conan had caused, and he planned to confirm it and leave it alone, but he didn't expect it to be Numabuchi Kiichiro...
Then, Kobayashi Sumiko and Numabuchi Kiichiro have no intersection. It is impossible for Numabuchi Kiichiro to follow and monitor Kobayashi Sumiko after escaping from prison. This can be ruled out first.
The remaining five children of the Junior Detective Corps and him all had interactions with Numabuchi Kiichiro. He had the most interaction with Numabuchi Kiichiro, followed by Mitsuhiko who was lost in the forest that day and was brought to him by Numabuchi Kiichiro. , the remaining four people, Haibara Ai, Conan, Ayumi, and Genta, did not have much interaction with Numabuchi Kiichiro.
It is more likely that Numabuchi Kiichiro came for him, but why?
Except for the first time he met Kiichiro Numabuchi, who wanted to kill him like a mad dog. Later, when he got along with Kiichiro Numabuchi, he felt no malice from Kiichiro Numabuchi. That guy was not that kind of person. For a person who is good at pretending, his feelings should not be wrong.
What did Zhu Yuan want to say to him? Or is something suddenly wrong in his mind, remembering his annoyance when he caught him for the first time, and planning to stab him?
The former is more likely, but the latter is not impossible.
After thinking about it, Chi Feichi replied to the email.
[Continue to monitor. 】
There is no need to think blindly, everyone will leave after a while. Whoever Kiichiro Numafuchi follows is the one he comes for. Only after the confirmation is completed can we judge what Kiichiro Numabuchi wants to do.
