"At seven o'clock in the morning," Conan said the time that had been discussed long ago, "We had agreed before that we would meet downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency at seven o'clock and go to school after investigating the scene."
"Then let's meet at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." Chi Feichi said.
"Brother Fei Chi, are you home now?" Haiyuan Ai said on the phone again, "Or are you still staying at the beach restaurant..."
"I'm going to drive around for a couple of times before going back. Don't worry, I'll go back early to rest." Chi Feichi took the initiative to stop Haiyuan Ai from talking.
His sister really suspected that he lost contact in the afternoon because he was doing something for the organization...
Although it was true that he made new medicines for the organization to use, which could be regarded as helping the organization, but he didn't want Haihara Ai to pursue it further.
Haihara Ai was just a little suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to use the child's 'advantage' to test the situation clearly. He deliberately asked in a tone of lack of confidence, "Then can you come back early? You have been in touch this afternoon. No, I'm very worried and want to see you and make sure you're okay before going to bed."
She said so. If Brother Fei Chi really just went to a seaside restaurant to find creative inspiration, he wouldn't go for a drive anymore and would choose to drive back immediately, right?
Yes, she just wanted to test it out to see if Brother Fei Chi was really looking for creative inspiration alone, or if he was entangled in something that he couldn't get out of.
For example, going to meet some dangerous guys...
Sooner or later, Chi Fei was mentally prepared and responded without any hesitation, "I'll go back right now, but I shouldn't arrive at Mihua Town until about ten o'clock in the evening. If you feel sleepy, go to bed early. I will go to the doctor's house to see you." You go home and rest."
He was just betting that his sister wasn't so sure of what he was doing, that his sister was just testing and wouldn't really want to mess with him.
If Xiao Ai really planned to make him go on a trip, then he would go to the doctor's house around ten o'clock.
Anyway, there is no particularly important action tonight. As long as you tell Gin in advance, the worst he can do is not participate in anything tonight and go back to bed early.
Seeing that Chi Feichi had agreed so simply, Haiyuan Ai felt that maybe he was overthinking, so he changed his words nonchalantly, "It's not until ten o'clock... I feel sleepy now. By ten o'clock, I should have fallen asleep." Well, I don’t know when you’ll come, so why not see you tomorrow morning.”
"Have you thought about it?" Chi Feichi asked, "You have a chance to change your mind before the phone hangs up."
"I've already thought about it, we'll see you tomorrow morning," Hui Yuan Ai confirmed, but also warned uneasily, "But you still have to go back to bed early. Lack of sleep will make your mental state unstable, and you don't want to be affected by the situation. Are you taking medicine because you are unstable?”
"I'll go back early."
"That's it. Edogawa and the others are going back. I'll pack my things and go to bed early."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi put the phone in his pocket and pulled the tab of the can of coffee. "You're right, it's easy to get overwhelmed when dealing with children."
"Hmph..." Gin laughed in a deep voice, put down the phone, and put out the burnt cigarette into the ashtray, "Did you almost leave the team early and go back to coax the children? But since you mentioned it I’ll go back early, so there’s no need to go, right?”
"She thought ten o'clock was too late and changed her mind. She didn't need me to come over." Chi Feichi drank iced coffee and walked to the sofa. "I didn't have anything to do tonight. It was you who promised to send an experimental subject. Experiment on me, but the result is that I have to arrest the person myself."
"This is your priority. If you don't need to capture him alive, I will consider shooting him in the head or letting him shatter into pieces in the explosion." Ginjiu glanced at the can in Chi Feichi's hand After filling the cup with coffee, he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's find a place for you to have dinner first. Do you still plan to fill your stomach with just a bottle of coffee?"
Chi Feichi turned around and went to the laboratory, "Wait for me, I'll bring the disguise tools."
…
Half an hour later, Chi Feichi, wearing Lark's disguise, and Gin entered a relatively remote small bar in Shinjuku District.
About twenty minutes later, Vodka also entered the bar. At a glance, he saw Gin and Chi Feichi sitting in front of the bar in a bar with no other customers. He walked closer and said hello, " Brother, Luck, you are all here, I didn’t keep you waiting too long, right?”
"It hasn't been long, Luck hasn't had dinner yet, let him fill his stomach first," Gin sat in front of the bar, tilted, straightened, tilted, straightened the wine glass in his hand on the counter, staring at the light red color in the wine glass. , the deep red wine spreads on the crushed ice, "If you want to drink, you can order it yourself, but don't drink too much."
On the side, Chi Feichi withdrew his gaze and continued to eat the exquisite noodles and soy sauce beef on the plate in front of him, while using his mobile phone to read the information that Gin had sent to him.
"I got it, brother!" Vodgar opened his chair and sat next to Gin. His eyes were attracted by the cocktail in Gin's hand, and he took another look. He raised his left hand towards the waiter standing in the corner of the bar and pointed with his right hand. The cup in Gin's hand, "Hey, give me a cocktail like this!"
"He doesn't know how to make this. This is made by Lark." Gin finally moved his eyes away from the wine glass and glanced at the pale waiter over there. "The Tom Collins he made before didn't taste very good. Like, so Luck made me a drink casually."
Chi Feichi temporarily put down the mobile phone and chopsticks in his hand, turned to look at the vodka, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Thorn Cocktail, born in the Fred Club in London in the 1980s, has only become popular in recent years. Coming to Japan, do you want to try it?"
"Um..." Vodka hesitated, not only wanting to try the blood-thinning cocktail, but also feeling that it wouldn't be good to ask Chi Feichi to come off and help him mix drinks, "Would it be too much trouble for you?"
"It doesn't matter, I've almost eaten anyway."
Chi Feichi hissed, got up and walked around to the bar, found a cylindrical glass, put a lemon slice into the glass, filled it with crushed ice, and then added a certain amount of gin, blackcurrant liqueur and pomegranate in sequence. syrup.
The appearance of the Thorn Cocktail is very distinctive.
The red wine and red syrup will soak into the cracks of the crushed ice, fall to the bottom of the cup, and be diluted in the transparent gin and ice water. The deeper parts will appear dark red, and only a trace of light red will adhere to the ice. As long as it is handled properly , it will be like blood flowing into water, falling and being slowly diluted by water at the same time.
Vodka was waiting for Chi Feichi to mix drinks. He noticed that Chi Feichi took the mixing tools and drinks on the bar casually and skillfully. He also noticed that the waiter was still standing weakly in the corner, staring at the waiter with his eyes behind his sunglasses. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Brother, he is not one of ours, is he?"
Gin gave the waiter a cold look, "Yes, he is not one of ours, but he won't mind."
Vodka saw the waiter flinching when Gin looked at him. He wondered if the waiter had been tortured by his elder brother because of his poor bartending skills. He laughed and said, "He can't help it if he wants to mind. Who can let him?" Isn’t his bartending skill good enough?”
Chi Feichi looked at the waiter, but after all he said nothing and focused on making the cocktail in his hand.
Actually the food in this bar isn't that great either.
After he and Gin entered the door, he asked the only living person in the store, the waiter and bartender, and the answer he got was-'The store only has fried chicken nuggets, edamame, and French fries to go with drinks.' .
At that moment, he and Gin understood that it was no wonder that there were no customers in the store when they entered and the waiter was dozing off. There was indeed a reason for all this.
He didn't want to eat fried chicken nuggets, French fries, and edamame, and Gin didn't want to go to other crowded and noisy bars, so they chose to buy food from other bars and eat here.
Bars generally don't allow customers to do this. When they went to the street to buy noodles and soy sauce beef and brought them back, the waiter did call out "guest", but he was quickly choked back by Gin's gloomy look.
The waiter was very sensible and asked, "Do you want me to help prepare two drinks?"
Of course, the waiter's bartending skills were not very good, and the drinks he prepared were disliked by Gin.
It's not that he is picky about gin this time. He has tasted the 'Mockingbird' that the other party mixed for him. People who have drunk too many cocktails or have a keen sense of taste should be able to taste that the wine and water ratio in it is not precise enough and the liquid is mixed. Not up to standard.
The advantageous flavor of the wine that should have been stimulated was not stimulated, and some flavors that needed to be integrated with other materials were not integrated properly. The result was that the overall taste seemed to be correct, but the feeling of drinking it was not very good, and the strong parts were too strong. It's bland, and it's too thin where it should be mellow.
This kind of drink is difficult to persuade two people who have drunk a lot of good wine, so Gin asked - 'Can we make the bar ourselves? '
Maybe it was because Gin's face was not very good at that time, and he had a cold attitude that said, "If you dare to refuse, you will die." That's why the waiter stood in the corner until now.
What he can be sure of is that even if the waiter rejects Gin's proposal on the spot, Gin will not flip the table and get angry on the spot. At most, he will exchange two glasses of beer or other drinks and wait until he has finished his food and leave.
But people always believe in their own conclusions more. Even if he said it, the waiter would not believe his judgment.
"The alcohol content of the thorn cocktail is not high, and it has a rich berry flavor," Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice, putting the cocktail on the counter in front of the vodka, "If you are not used to it, you can put it aside and drink some. Something else.”
"Thank you, Lark," Vodka cheerfully brought the drink in front of him, "Although I rarely drink berry-flavored cocktails, I am willing to try them no matter what the flavor is. I can drink a cup of berry-flavored cocktail tonight. Cocktails are also a great experience!”
"Then you try it first."
Chi Feichi responded politely to the vodka, poured himself a glass of soda, walked back to the bar and sat down, took out his mobile phone and continued to look at the target's information.
Who would reject a vodka who likes to brag and say thank you when something happens?
Although Vodka is sometimes very reckless when communicating with others, which slightly lowers the basic quality of organization members, in terms of emotional stability, he feels that Vodka is stronger than many organization members, and can occasionally help everyone stabilize their emotions.
Even if you are swearing, vodka can produce special effects.
Even if he and Gin were originally resentful towards a certain target, they would feel less 'angry' after hearing Vodka curse at that target.
And the frequency with which Vodka curses an action target is...
often.
