How long is twenty years?
Turn a baby into an adult.
Let a young man become a middle-aged man.
They knew each other when they were young, and they went from young people to middle-aged people in a flash.
But in the past twenty years, the store of the two people who worked together has undergone tremendous changes.
His shop has been renovated three times. In order to turn Abedo Shopping Street into a sophisticated and fashionable commercial street, he and his partners on the street reluctantly spent money and worked hard to make the shop more beautiful and high-end.
But Kōya Ogura has maintained this store for twenty years and has never renovated it at all.
The dilapidated shop became the only "stain" on this street.
"But, I said it was because I didn't have any extra money."
Hearing Yanaka's words, Ogura Koya's expression was confused.
Yanaka looked at Koya Ogura forcibly making excuses, and watched with hatred as he finally said what he had been blocking in his heart: "That's not because you are addicted to all kinds of gambling!
If you gamble less, wouldn’t you have money to renovate the store!!”
"That, that is." Ogura Kōya heard this unkind words, and his face was full of guilt.
As a good gambler, except for necessary expenses, he had no savings at all and spent everything on gambling.
Because of this, he had no money left to renovate.
"To be honest, your profit from selling a bowl of ramen here is really low!"
On the side, Yanaka said in disbelief: "But not only did you not raise prices, you also hired work-study students. Not only that, your financial situation is really bad!"
Although that guy from Xijin is annoying, he has one thing right.
People in other shops in the shopping street also think your store is disgusting. I am not lying to you.
I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked by others, “If your store doesn’t renovate, please ask them to move out.”
Everyone hopes that I will come forward to communicate this matter with you."
"But why didn't you tell me about this?" Ayashi Ohashi asked puzzledly: "If you are willing to speak up, the store manager should also be able to."
"It's just because I can't open my mouth."
Yanaka laughed at himself sadly: "Because I really like the ramen here.
I don't care about the cost at all, just insist on good taste and affordable price.
In the same way, I also appreciate your thoughtfulness and integrity, the store manager.
Although it may just be wishful thinking, I am very confident that even if the ramen here is moved to another place, it will definitely be a big seller.
Perhaps as a friend, I also hope that you can quit gambling and save some money to renovate your shop and continue to be my neighbor..."
"Yanaka" Ogura Kōya looked at the other party with a complex expression, opened his mouth but didn't know how to speak.
And in this silence, Xijin Desheng angrily broke the unspeakable atmosphere: "Hmph, no matter how nice you say, I will never forgive you!
You dare to poison me and assassinate me, I will make you pay the price!"
"Regarding this, everything that follows will be handled by our police. Mr. Nishijin just needs to cooperate."
Seeing that Nishijin Desheng was still about to get angry, Tang Ze interrupted him and warned: "I know you have many younger brothers, but I warn you not to act recklessly.
Of course, it is your right within the law, but if you let me know what dirty tricks you are using, don’t blame me for being rude."
"What I said is within the law!" Nisjin Desheng said with a flicker of fear in his eyes after hearing Tang Ze's words.
"You'd better remember what you said."
When Tangze saw Nishijin Desheng's expression, he didn't know that the other party didn't mean the dialect, but he didn't say anything and just wrote it down secretly.
If the other party doesn't listen to your warning
, then he will let the other party know the cost of ignoring his words later.
"Anyway, you two should stay in your seats."
Looking at Xi Jin Desheng's tense appearance, Tang Ze said: "I will contact the people from the Metropolitan Police Department now. You guys stay here honestly.
Also, boss, please continue making ramen, so we can fill our stomachs while waiting."
Having said this, Karasawa tilted his head in the direction of the Yanaka store manager.
Seeing Karasawa's hint, Ogura Koya nodded repeatedly and ran back to the kitchen: "I'll do it right now, please wait a moment!"
In a complicated atmosphere of silence, bowls of Enma Daioh ramen were placed on the table.
Looking at the various toppings and barbecued pork piled on top, Tang Ze and others quietly thanked them and started eating one after another.
The strong ramen combined with the delicious soup base bursts into a rich aroma in your mouth, making you want to stop after one bite.
Put a piece of barbecued pork with the ramen, and the aroma will continue to explode in your mouth.
The fresh aroma with just the right salty taste makes people want to stop eating.
Soon there was only the sound of eating in the ramen shop, except of course for Nishizu Tokusheng. After all, he still had poison on his hands, and the poison on his glasses couldn't be wiped off, so we could only temporarily force him to maintain the status quo.
After all, it was a key piece of evidence. He had to wait until someone from the Metropolitan Police Department came to preserve it and disinfect it before he would eat again.
After a bowl of ramen, Officer Memaku and others had already felt the situation. After taking away the two people, they said goodbye to Karasawa and others and went straight back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
As for Kouma Ogura, he looked at the police car going away with a complicated look on his face, but in the end he could only sigh.
"Boss, your ramen is delicious." Karasawa said, "But after something like this happened, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here any longer, right?"
"Yes." Ogura Kōya said bitterly: "How can I have the nerve to stay any longer?"
"In that case, let's move away. With skills like this, you won't have to worry about anywhere."
Tang Ze patted the other party's shoulder: "It's just a bad habit of gambling. It's best to get rid of it."
"I will do it." Koya Ogura nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, boss, even if we reopen, we will definitely be able to make the store prosperous!" Ohashi Ayoyo also comforted after hearing the boss's decision.
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Karasawa looked at Ohashi Ayo and brought her a business card: "Nisatsu Tokugatsu was poisoned by Tanaka this time, so he must have resentment in his heart.
Although I warned him, just in case you help me keep an eye on the situation of the Yanaka family.
If Xijin Desheng takes revenge on Gu Zhong’s family, just call me and I will take care of it.”
"I understand, thank you." Ayashi Ohashi nodded and thanked Karasawa gratefully.
"Nothing." Karasawa smiled and went out with Mouri Kogoro and others.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise that annoying guy would have died." After walking out of the door, Mouri Kogoro smiled and said, "Thanks to you, this meal didn't become so bad.
"
"Maybe this is fate." Tang Ze shrugged and said with emotion.
He also didn't expect that the ramen shop recommended by Sihuayuan would happen to meet Conan and the others, and then this time it happened to be a poisoning case, so he happened to be at gunpoint.
Not only that, the poison was administered in advance, and neither of the two people in the house was suspected. The victim had only been to the barber shop before entering the ramen shop, and easily identified the barber shop manager.
A case was solved in just one meal. It has to be said that after Tang Ze experienced the memorization of words some time ago, things really turned around. He was able to prevent the case from happening in just one meal.
"Huh~"
Mouri Kogoro was just about to say something more, but a bone-piercing cold blew through him, causing several people who had just left the Nuanwa Ramen shop to shiver.
"No more, no more, let's talk another day!" Mouri Kogoro wrapped his coat tightly and greeted Conan: "Hey kid
, go home quickly, it’s really freezing outside.”
"Oh!" Conan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then turned around and waved goodbye to Tang Ze and the other two: "Tang Ze Criminal, Miss Sihuayuan, we will see you later~"
"See you later~" Sihuayuan had a pretty good impression of Conan, a smart kid, and waved goodbye with a smile.
"Let's go quickly." A gust of cold wind blew past, Sihuayuan shivered and urged Tang Ze to get in the car quickly.
Hearing this, Tang Ze also quickened his pace and rushed to the parking lot. Although his body was not afraid of the cold, he did not want to stand here and blow the cold wind.
The two of them ran into the car, and when the car door closed to block the cold wind outside, they felt a sense of comfort.
"Let's go, let's take you back." Karasawa started the car and said, "Today's meal was really hard."
"Uh..." Sihuayuan heard the words and smiled: "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
"I don't blame you."
Tangze waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just lament that even if I go out to eat, I will encounter a case. I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck."
"It must be good luck. Without today's meal, another life would have been sacrificed, and another person would have spent half his life in prison."
Sihuayuan said firmly: "It must be good luck!"
"Even so, it's a bit troublesome for our original plan to eat." Karasawa shrugged helplessly.
"Okay, so you are waiting for me here."
Hearing this, Sihuayuan seemed to understand the meaning of Karasawa's words: "Okay, okay, I'll treat you to ramen next time, but if something unexpected happens again..."
"Shut up." Tang Ze said angrily: "I advise you not to say this in front of front-line criminals, or you will be beaten to death."
"Is this the "superstitious" part that is widely spread among front-line criminals?" Sihuayuan asked curiously: "There are some taboo words that cannot be said."
"Yes, the most typical thing is that you can't talk nonsense, whether it's about others or yourself."
Tang Ze smiled and nodded: "Because if you say this, you will most likely encounter troublesome cases later, so you must not say this."
"I see, this kind of thing is indeed very evil." Sihuayuan nodded in understanding.
"Okay, you're almost home, get ready to get off the car." Looking at the road ahead, Tang Ze found a free place to park and reminded Sihuayuan that it was time to get off the car.
"Huh? So fast." Sihuayuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was really near his home. Then he came to his senses and took off his seat belt.
"Don't look at how many people are on the road today." Tang Ze urged: "Hurry up and get down, I'm still waiting to go home."
"Okay~ I'm leaving. Please be safe on the road." Sihuayuan opened the car door and got out of the car while saying goodbye to Tang Ze.
Seeing the car start and drive away slowly, Sihuayuan shuddered and trotted home while holding his coat.
The cold wind and low temperature that came with the cold air made everyone stay at home early. When Tang Ze came home today, the few reporters who had persisted at this time a few days ago had also disappeared.
It was obvious that looking at Tangze's attitude of choosing a place of residence at random, the reporters were not willing to wait any longer.
After parking the car, when Karasawa got home, he first called Ayako, who had gone to live with Suzuki, and talked about what happened during the meal, and then started to wash up.
After everything was taken care of, Tangze lay on the bed and clicked on the panel with some anticipation.
Several pieces of information about the reward settlement at the next moment are constantly beating on the retina.
After the information refresh stopped, Tang Ze began to check the rewards this time.
【Delicious to die for ramen】
Completion: Excellent
[Congratulations to the host for getting the safe and sound card (seven days)]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining an additional 300 destiny points]
Comment: An ordinary dinner out, but unexpectedly encountered an assassination in progress.
And you, who has an extraordinary sense of smell, successfully sensed the murderous intention that was about to happen, relying on your sense of smell far beyond that of ordinary people and your sensitivity to cases.
With calmness and patience, you prevented the poisoning case from happening, successfully found the criminal, and completely solved the impending case.
Somehow you have been favored by fate!
Seeing this reward, although Tang Ze had expected it, he still couldn't help but sigh.
Although he successfully prevented the murder in this case, the ending was not particularly good.
Moreover, the Yanaka store manager went to jail, but the real estate developer with bad character survived.
This is why he only has some expectations. Obviously, this ending is not satisfactory for the Nengba system that pursues "good and evil will be rewarded" but also abides by legal rules.
So even if this case was successfully prevented, the upper limit was still there, so he couldn't be surprised to see this reward.
Although this reward is not as surprising as getting a new item before, the commonly used old item "Safety Card" can also save a lot of money.
After all, as a person who encounters cases every day, I still long for a relatively stable vacation.
But destiny points are quite precious, so spending money to buy them is a bit of a luxury. Now that I have received the reward this time, I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
The extra 300 fate points he gained also brought his wallet to 1,600 fate points. If he solved one or two cases, he would be able to collect another ten draws in a row.
But it was still the same old rule. He planned to reserve more destiny points for emergencies.
Seeing that his wallet was bulging again and he had a leave card that could save money, Tang Ze closed the panel with satisfaction.
After digesting some of the skill knowledge gained from the lottery some time ago, Tang Ze fell into a deep sleep.
This chapter has been completed!
