Chapter eight hundred and eighty nine - untimely murder
At 8 o'clock that night, the Mihua Central Building and the Lookout Restaurant.
"Why did you suddenly bring me here?" Mori Ran looked at the well-dressed ladies around him, and then looked at the ordinary clothes that he could only say were decent, and looked at Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting opposite her for some reason. "Is this kind of place... very expensive?"
"It's okay, I took my dad's gold card, and it's a pity to pay for the money inside." Kudo Shinichi proudly took out a credit card from his pocket and turned it around.
"You're a little too extravagant, right?" Ran Maori showed a helplessness, but also a little doting smile. "Although your father is indeed very rich,... he still feels that it's not worth it to come here to eat like this. That kind of ordinary restaurant is very-"
"No, no, I think it's worth taking you here to eat this time, because now is not the kind of occasion where you need to look at the money with scruples." Kudo Shinichi smiled and waved his hand. "Besides, I've left this card for me, isn't it just for me to spend it?"
What they didn't know was that at the entrance of the stairs not far away, there were two people they were familiar with but did not know.
"I feel this meaning, too," Miyano Shibao tilted his head and asked in a low voice to the lover she leaned against. "How did you know he came here for this?"
"Because this story is so classic," Qianyu, who hid himself in the darkness and had no intention of seeing it, also tilted his head and rubbed his heart with Shiba. "The famous detective novelist encountered a case when he was having a banquet for someone he liked here. After resolving the case, he chose to propose to the other person he liked. A world-class female star proposed to a pair of fairy couples that made men in Japan heartbroken."
"Famous novelist and world-class female stars..." Shibao pondered for a moment, then realized who the protagonist of the story was. "Wait a minute, are you talking about..."
"Yes, so in my opinion, these things are just a son who inherits his father's business, which is easy to think of." Qianyu gently tapped Shibao's cheek with his finger.
At this moment, he suddenly showed a somewhat surprised expression, and then began to scan around him - because he received a text message with an almost incredible signature.
[Mori Kogoro has realized the problem and is about to arrive downstairs. We are not convenient to stop him, so we find a way to hold him downstairs and buy time for Shin-shi.]——Yukiko Kudo
How could she know that she was here? If she was here, how would she know that Kogoro Mouri was coming?
Because things happened suddenly, Chia Yu did not open his private signal base station in advance, which made him unable to extract the telephone and text messages in the area near the previous period like he was in a normal state of alert. The only thing he could do was to temporarily unfold these and confirm that Kudo Yukiko was indeed by his side.
It seems that there was probably something in Maori Detective Office and informed her. She recognized herself, so she asked herself to do the chores.
"This old aunt should be forty years old, and she still likes to call people who have no relatives or reasons." Miyano Shibao held Chiyu's arm angrily, expressing her dissatisfaction with Yukiko who wanted to adjust Chiyu.
"Forget it, after all, it's Kudo's lifelong event. It's still necessary to help this time." Qianyu sighed and smiled bitterly and touched Shibao's head. "Be good, I'll come back soon after the blocking task is completed~"
"Okay," Miyano Shibo curled his lips and looked at Qianyu who was leaving with a complicated expression. "Chianyu...you..."
[Although this time it was indeed an urgent matter, I have some small ideas... If I could see you ignore everything for my business, I would have seen the kind of development that would be done at all costs for me. At that time, I would probably die of happiness?] - This is a wish she couldn't say, just a hidden wish in her heart.
A wish that even she herself knew she was a little willful, but she was vaguely looking forward to it in her heart.
Of course, Chiayu, who was taking the elevator to the first floor, did not know the little thoughts of Miyano Shiho. He is now focusing on another issue that is close to him.
When Kogoro Mouri arrived, how should he delay him?
When I asked Kudo Yukiko this way, I got a rather inappropriate solution. But... maybe it would be useful?
=
...
Of course, Chia and Shibo are not the only ones who have received the news that Kogoro Mori is about to arrive.
"..." Kudo Shinichi put down his cell phone calmly, and then scanned the men and women on other tables in his seemingly unintentional movements.
Just from the number of calls from Kogoro Mouri and the content of the text messages, he can also tell that the other party is in a state of anger. If he does not get things done before the other party arrives, he may have to pay a serious price for his failed attempt.
"Shinichi," Ran Maori, who hadn't cared too much before, began to pay attention to his abnormal performance. "Is something wrong?"
"Ah? Ah..." Kudo Shinichi realized his disobedience and switched to the way he pretended nothing happened within a second. "It's okay... that, I have a request, I hope you can listen carefully and give me an answer."
"Well," Ran Mori nodded, showing a very interested expression. "Shinichi, what do you want to say?"
"I..." Kudo Shinichi put his hand into his pocket, grabbed the small square in his hand, and then stood up from the side of the table. "Actually, I have always been very..."
As he said this, he took a step forward with his left leg, and his body posture was not inconsistent even if he immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Really, fake!" Although he was mentally prepared, Shiho Miyano still widened his eyes and looked at everything that was happening in front of him.
This guy... hasn't he confessed his love to the sister of that firm yet? Why...
The middle-aged fat woman sitting behind Shinichi Kudo also looked here, holding a camera in her hand, as if she was preparing to take a picture, while the thin gentleman sitting opposite him just leisurely picked up the black tea cup and prepared to take a sip of the best Indian goods.
But at this moment, Kudo Shinichi, who had been brave enough to take this step, heard a whisper that seemed too loudly came from the waiters not far away.
