Considering the cold weather, Chi Feichi bought a lot of ingredients and went to a convenience store to buy a few bottles of beer. Then he and Subaru Okiya carried the bags in large and small bags, returned to Dr. Agasa's house, and set up shop in the yard.
Lift the pot.
It's cold, so it's more suitable to eat hot pot.
Because there were children, Chi Feichi didn't make the hot pot soup too spicy. After the chicken was almost cooked and vegetables were added, a large group of people gathered around the fire and pot in the yard and sat on moisture-proof mats to eat hot pot.
Haibara Ai saw that Chi Feichi and Okiya Subaru were drinking, and reminded Chi Feichi, "After you drink, don't drive back for a while."
Chi Feichi nodded, "I'll spend one more night at the doctor's house tonight."
If he had to stay at the doctor's house, he wouldn't be able to continue experimenting with his 'fire magic', but he couldn't rush the research, so he could just wait for two days.
Wuming didn't stay long. After eating and drinking, he stretched out, jumped up on the wall, meowed and ran away, "Master, I'm going to find an open place to practice magic!"
"Eh? Brother Chi, why is Wuming gone?" Bumi asked in surprise.
"It's okay, it probably wants to go out to play, don't worry about it..." Chi Feichi said, noticing the vibration of his mobile phone in his pocket, he took it out, looked at the number, and answered, "Xiaolan? I'm at the doctor's house... um,
Conan is also here...what time?...Okay, see you tomorrow morning."
Dr. A Li waited for the call to hang up and asked curiously, "Fei Chi, did something happen to Maori and the others?"
"Xiaolan asked me if I was free to go to Poirot Cafe for breakfast tomorrow," Chi Feichi said, putting away the phone, "She and Miss Xiaozi came to see me if they had something to do."
"Didn't Sister Xiaolan say what happened on the phone?" Conan asked.
Miss Azusa is in trouble? Why doesn’t Xiaolan find ‘Kudo Shinichi’?
"I didn't say anything, just let me go there tomorrow morning," Chi Feichi picked up the beer can again, "and asked me to tell you that if you play too late, you can stay at the doctor's house for one night and follow me there tomorrow."
Conan nodded obediently.
I'll know what's going on tomorrow, but I don't know if I can take advantage of tonight to ask Chi Feichi what's going on with his 'murderer has a perfect alibi' technique.
…
The next day, 8:58 am.
Chi Feichi took Conan and Haiyuan Ai outside Poirot Cafe.
Hui Yuan Ai and Chi Fei finally felt at ease.
At the doctor's house, she always thought of the suspicious person next door, so she might as well follow Brother Fei Chi out for a walk and keep an eye on Brother Fei Chi and have a good rest.
Conan raised his hand and yawned.
Don't ask, I just asked because I was so curious that I couldn't sleep well last night. I lay there thinking about it for a long time, considering various possibilities and eliminating them one by one.
He wanted to pester Chi Feichi to tell him, but by the time he finished washing up last night, Chi Feichi had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"jingle!"
Chi Feichi pushed open the door of Poirot Cafe. The moment the bell rang at the door, he suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere. Five eyes stayed on him, four of them quickly retracted, and the remaining one was still looking at him quietly.
he.
In addition to Mori, his daughter and Azusa Enomoto, there were five other customers in the store.
Two men in winter clothes sat inside.
Also sitting by the window were two middle-aged men dressed in ordinary clothes.
Sitting in front of the counter was a man wearing a knitted hat, sunglasses, and a long trench coat.
The person who was looking at him was one of the guests at the innermost table, but soon, his companion whispered something, and the person looked away as if nothing had happened, lowering his head to eat breakfast.
The whole store smells...of police surveillance.
Haihara Ai also looked at the people in the store and followed Chi Fei late to the table.
"Brother Chi, good morning, Conan! Xiao Ai, you're here too, good morning!" Mao Lilan seemed not to notice that the atmosphere in the store was wrong, and greeted with a smile, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I ordered a lot of sandwiches.
You can eat a little to fill your stomach first, and then order whatever you want!”
"morning."
Chi Feichi said hello and sat down across the table.
Mao Lilan noticed that Conan, who was sitting next to Chi Feichi, was not energetic, and asked with concern, "Conan, did you sleep well last night?"
Mouri Kogoro was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a newspaper and saying without raising his head, "I think this kid probably played too late last night!"
Conan didn't care how Mouri Kogoro complained about him, and asked aloud, "Sister Xiaolan, what are you and Miss Azusa doing to Brother Chi?"
"Didn't I make strawberry crystal cake a few days ago? It turned out to be too much, and the three of us couldn't finish it, so I sent some to Poirot Cafe. There happened to be two customers in the shop at the time, because it was really
There were too many, so Miss Zi gave the strawberry crystal cakes to the guests to taste. Later, when the two customers came to the store, they asked Miss Zi if they could sell strawberry crystal cakes for snacks in the store," Mao Lilan read.
Looking at Azusa Enomoto who was silent and busy behind the counter, "Miss Azusa wants to learn how to make it, but Brother Fei Chi taught me how to make the strawberry crystal cake. We want to ask Brother Fei Chi what he thinks first."
"So that's it." Conan felt relieved and reached for the sandwich on the plate on the table.
Chi Fei belatedly saw Azusa Enomoto coming over with a tray and gave the answer, "Everything is made for people to eat. As long as Miss Azusa has time to make it, it doesn't matter if it is sold in the store."
Mao Lilan smiled and looked at Azusa Enomoto who was walking over, "That's great!"
Azusa Enomoto nodded absently, bent down to put the coffee on the tray on the table, and tried to cheer up, "Thank you, Mr. Chi, I discussed it with the boss, and he said that if you are willing, I will put the strawberries
Part of the proceeds from the sale of the crystal cakes will be given to you, or can be used as a deduction for the amount you spend in the store. I will help keep the accounts, and you can just come over and spend."
"That's not bad," Haiyuan Ai took the sandwich, looked at Chi Feichi, and joked in a leisurely tone, "If it sells well, you can come here for free breakfast every day in the future."
Seeing Azusa Enomoto turning around to serve the ramen, Mao Lilan said confidently, "I think the sales will be very good!"
"By the way, Fei Chi, I received a commission yesterday. The client is a theater manager I met a few years ago. She asked me to meet at the theater. I heard that the commission was related to the early popular dramas in England, so she invited me to drop by.
If you are interested in going to see a theater performance, you can come with us. I mentioned it to her, and she said it’s okay to bring the kid with you, and she also gave me several tickets..." Mouri Kogoro lowered his head and said
, turned the page of the newspaper, looked at the reports on the page, and said with emotion, "However, in this world, different incidents really happen every day, and there are many bad incidents. There is an employee of a financial company who actually
He was murdered in his own home, and the murder weapon was a hunting rifle. The police are pursuing a vendetta..."
"I saw this case on TV news this morning," Mao Lilan recalled.
"Really," Mouri Kogoro muttered while looking at the newspaper, "If you want to shoot, can't you shoot birds? It has to be used to kill people..."
"Don't you think it's dangerous? The crime scene seems to be nearby, and maybe the murderer is still hiding nearby," Mao Lilan said, "So Fei Chi and Xiao Ai must be careful when they go back..."
"Boom!"
Azusa Enomoto, who was bringing the ramen, let go and the tray and ramen plate fell to the ground. He hurriedly knelt down to clean them up, "Hug, I'm sorry, I'll bring them back right away!"
Chi Feichi suddenly remembered this plot.
It was probably Azusa Enomoto's brother who was suspected of murder, but the murderer was actually a colleague of Azusa Enomoto's brother. After the murder, he wanted to frame the murder on Azusa Enomoto's brother.
Mao Lilan stood up and squatted down, helping Azusa Enomoto clean up the ramen plates on the floor, "Miss Azusa, your face looks ugly, are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Azusa Enomoto responded in a low voice.
Conan looked at the other serious-faced guests around him and had a vague suspicion in his mind, "By the way, Sister Xiaozi said before that her brother can also shoot, right?"
"What does that have to do with it?" Mouri Kogoro looked at the newspaper casually, "Miss Azusa's brother plays Frisbee shooting, not hunting."
Conan's childish voice reminded him cutely, "But..."
Haiyuan Ai looked at the people in the store and said in a calm tone, "It seems that there are more than one or two people who think Miss Zi's brother is suspicious."
"More than one or two people?" Mao Lilan also looked at the guests around him.
"So, why are there so many vicious guys around?" Mouri Kogoro looked away from the newspaper and frowned at the man sitting next to the window, "Huh? Why do I think you look familiar...
"
"Also," Conan turned and pointed at the man sitting in front of the counter, with a childish look on his face, "that big brother is also very similar to someone we know."
The man in front of the counter turned his head and found Mao Lilan standing up and coming over. He sweated and quickly turned his head, silently thinking 'I can't recognize it, I can't recognize it'.
"Aren't you... police officer Takagi?" Mao Lilan accurately saw through Takagi Shita's disguise and asked doubtfully, "What are you doing here? And you're dressed like this."
"Ah, this..." Seeing that Takagi Sheba was seen through, he turned around with an embarrassed smile, hesitating whether he should say, "Actually..."
"There are no other suspicious people in the store, so it doesn't matter if you tell me, right?" Conan encouraged with a smile, "Maybe uncle and brother Chi can be of some help?"
"I know, I know..."
Seeing that other colleagues in the store didn't object, Takagi told the truth.
It was a case where a financial company employee was murdered. Azusa Enomoto’s brother, Sugito Enomoto, was suspected of murder. The police were indeed monitoring the store.
"The murdered Mr. Tobihira Takabumi was the boss of Ms. Azusa's brother. Mr. Sugito's fingerprints were also detected on the murder weapon rifle left at the scene. Moreover, we have been to his apartment. He has disappeared, and there is no trace of him.
Go to the company to work," Takagi Wataru looked at Azusa Enomoto who was standing aside, "We thought that maybe he would contact his sister, so we are monitoring him here."
Azusa Enomoto stood with his head bowed, his hands tightly twisting his apron, looking depressed.
Haibara Ai looked up at Enomoto Azusa's face and sighed inwardly.
Your brother is suspected of being a murderer. How does it feel to be your sister?
Unbelievable? Doubtful? Don’t know what to do? Or do you hope to help your escaped brother?
She could somewhat imagine the same people from Tianya who were worried about her brother.
Because even if she sensed murderous intent from her brother, she still doubted whether she had made a mistake in judgment. Without evidence and without seeing it with her own eyes, she didn't want to think about her brother that way.
Because she had been nervous, worried about what to do if her brother was found out by the police, and wondered if her brother had been wronged in any way, but as a younger sister, she had no idea and was also wondering if she could do something.
Miss Zi Zi's brother is only a suspect, but her brother is a bigger suspect in her judgment. The only good thing is that he has not been discovered by the police. So far, it seems that no one has suspected or investigated him.
