Chapter 2740 The puppy that appears on a rainy day
The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.
On the 11th floor of the Cupidomachi Apartment, the smell of bean paste and fish soup emanates from the kitchen.
Xiaomei stood in front of the chopping board, holding a knife in her right hand, cutting the beef on the chopping board seriously, cutting the beef into even slices.
Koshimi Nanatsuki originally wanted to follow the example of other girls and come to her boyfriend's house to help clean up and cook a meal. However, when she arrived, she found that Xiaomei didn't even leave a stain on the house, and she couldn't even get the right to cook.
, could only stand aside and cheer, "How amazing, Xiaomei... You stand so straight and can cut the meat slices so evenly, it's like you have some kind of supernatural power!"
Chi Feichi sat at the dining table, looked up at Xiaomei, then looked back, and used a paper knife to cut open the envelope of the letter in his hand.
Xiaomei's posture when chopping vegetables is absolutely unreasonable. Her body has no bending range and her arm movements are a bit stiff. But in movies, ghosts, robots and other beings seem to be like this when chopping vegetables...
When Xiaomei heard Koshimi Nanatsuki's compliment, the corners of her mouth hidden by her black hair curled up, and she said in a sinister voice, "Thank you for the compliment. You can sit down and rest over there. When the black tea is ready, I will prepare it for the master."
Bring the black tea to the table with you."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Nanatsuki Koshizui knew that Xiaomei enjoyed the feeling of serving others, so he did not shirk. He turned to the dining table, sat on the chair next to Chi Feichi, and looked sideways at Chi Feichi as he checked the letter.
, "Mr. Chi, when I got here at nine-thirty, you had just gotten up, right? You came back from seeing us off last night, didn't you do other work?"
"No..." Chi Feichi put the letter he had read into the envelope, then picked up the paper knife and another letter, "I was tired from running yesterday and slept for a long time, probably more than nine hours.
."
Koshisui Nanatsuki looked at Chi Feichi's face. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Chi Feichi seemed to be less interested in things around him today. "That may be because you didn't have a good rest in the past two days and your energy was too much.
If you sleep for too long, you will feel tired easily, right? Unfortunately, the weather forecast says it will rain today, otherwise we can go for a walk in the park in the afternoon, and then go to an amusement park or other places to vent our energy. But since it rains, we still stay
It’s better to watch TV at home and have a rest..."
"Do you want to go to the amusement park? I'm free during the day tomorrow," Chi Feichi put down the letter in his hand, "If you want to go, we can go tomorrow."
"I may not be free tomorrow. Yuanzi said that she and a friend of Xiaolan want to hire a private detective. Considering that the other party and I are both young girls, communication may be easier, so Yuanzi wants to introduce us to each other. I will
Sonoko, Xiaolan has agreed to meet at the Seven Detective Office tomorrow, and they will tell me what exactly needs to be investigated." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said about his schedule, and added, "Actually, I have been doing this recently.
I don’t particularly want to go to the amusement park, but if possible, I would still like to accept that commission.”
Chi Feichi nodded and picked up an unopened letter, "Then I will go to Zhiming's place tomorrow and won't accompany you. If you need help, please contact me."
"I can't rely too much on you. I have to handle the commissions that I can handle by myself." Koshizui Nanatsuki saw Feichi crawling out of the pile of envelopes and reached out to lift Feichi in front of him to start the transaction. "But don't worry,
If I really can't figure it out, I will ask you for help..."
Xiaomei served black tea to the two of them, turned around and floated back to the cooking table, where she started preparing lunch.
Koshizui Nanatsuki went to the doll wall in the living room and took out a Kaito Kidd doll. He made a 'simple snake teasing stick' and played with Feichi for a while. After Chi Feichi finished reading the letter on the table, he talked to Chi Feichi again.
Fei Chi talked about the gossip he had recently heard in the Yoneka Town area.
After lunch, Chi Feichi drove Koshizu Nanatsuki back to the Seven Detective Agency.
As soon as the two entered the door, it started to rain lightly.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki changed his shoes, turned on the lights in the corridor, and walked quickly to his office, "Mr. Chi, you go upstairs first. I'll go to the office to see if the doors and windows are closed!"
Chi Feichi also changed his shoes and followed him. He saw Koshizu Nanatsuki checking the doors and windows in the office to confirm that there was no accident. He went to the second floor, turned on the lights in the living room, and walked straight to the balcony of the living room, leaving a gap.
The glass door is closed.
Before they came out of the apartment in Aipido, Koshimiu reminded him that it would rain today and not to forget to close the windows. As a result, when Koshimi went to Abeido to find him in the morning, he didn't remember to close the windows.
"The windows downstairs are all closed," Nanatsuki Koshizui arrived at the living room on the second floor. He saw Chi Feichi turning back from the glass door and stepped forward to check. "I remember that when I left in the morning, I seemed to have forgotten to check here.
The door..."
Chi Feichi saw that Keshui Nanatsuki was a little anxious, so he took the initiative to explain the situation, "There is a gap in the door, but the rain was not heavy, and the floor was not wet by the rain blown in by the wind."
The next second, the rain outside suddenly became heavier, and raindrops pattered on the balcony railings and windows.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly burst into laughter when he heard the sound of the rain getting heavier. "It seems like you won't be able to go back for a while. Do you want to rest? Or are you going to watch a bloody TV series with me?"
“Can I choose to watch a fun TV show?”
Chi Feichi noticed that his phone was vibrating, so he said "Sorry" again, took out his phone and checked the newly received emails.
[Counselor, I found a lonely puppy on the bank of the Muzu River in Mikka Town. I’m not sure if it’s a pet dog raised by a family in this area or a stray dog wandering outside. I never heard of it when I was working at a pet hospital.
I have never seen this dog, so I sent you the photo. I wonder if you can identify it. - Toru Amuro]
Sent with the email was a photo.
The background of the photo is on the protective embankment. The light is a little dim. It may be under the pedestrian bridge or under the corridor of the patrol point of the control station. A white puppy is standing against the wall and looking at the camera with curious eyes.
"It's an email from Amuro. He seems to be stuck in the rain with a dog."
Chi Feichi explained to Koshizu Nanatsuki and typed a reply to the email.
【Anshi, is it inconvenient for you to tell me the specific location? 】
The Tsumutsu River is a long river that flows through many areas such as Aipido Town and Yoneka Town. The river bank is very long. There are prosperous Aipido Three Bridges across the long river, and there are also some remote bridges that no one cares about. Just look at that one.
Even in the photos of distant views, he couldn't identify where they were.
…
The embankment of the Tsugawa River.
Under the deserted bridge, after Toru Amuro sent the email, he pulled up the hood of his coat and put it on. He wanted to run home in the rain, but unexpectedly the rain suddenly became heavier. After receiving the reply email from Chi Feichi, he retreated.
Went back.
The white puppy following Toru Amuro couldn't stop in time and bumped into Toru Amuro's leg, causing him to jump to the side in fright.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Toru Amuro realized that he had bumped into the puppy when he stepped back. He turned around and saw the puppy looking up at him with an innocent face. He looked up at the rain screen outside, looked down at the email and replied, and laughed.
He said, "I didn't mean to kick you, let's just hide here together from the rain."
"Woo..."
The puppy tilted his head and looked at the smile on Toru Amuro's face. He felt the kindness from Toru Amuro. He felt at peace inside and looked up at the rain curtain outside the bridge.
More than ten minutes later, a red Lexus SC drove out of the rain and stopped on the river bank.
Chi Feichi got out of the car wearing a raincoat, his ears caught the sound of voices in the patter of rain, turned around, picked up a sealed waterproof bag, and started walking under the bridge.
"Hey, hey, if you run any further, you'll get caught in the rain..."
"Don't underestimate me. I have also worked in a pet hospital. A simple examination is still fine..."
The space under the bridge was protected from rain, but the rainwater on the ground still flowed down the river embankment slope, making the ground covered with rainwater.
Amuro Toru gathered the puppy in a corner, squatted down, and reached out to pick up the puppy, "I just want to check it for you..."
The puppy twitched its ears, its eyes lit up with eagerness to try. When Toru Amuro's hand was about to touch him, he jumped up and jumped forward, trying to escape Toru Amuro's 'capture' using the previous method.
Toru Amuro was already prepared, and his right hand changed direction. His left hand, which had always been prepared, also quickly stretched out. When the puppy jumped up, he grabbed the puppy's body with both hands. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the little boy who seemed to be surprised.
The dog said, "I won't fall for the same trap twice!"
The puppy wagged its tail happily, turned its head and licked Amuro Toru's arm, and then looked at Amuro Toru wagging its tail.
Toru Amuro suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to understand 'dog language', and smiled helplessly, "You don't want to say 'do it again', do you?"
The puppy looked at Toru Amuro wagging its tail, its eyes full of anticipation.
"Well, I really lost to you. It looks like the rain won't stop for a while," Toru Amuro put the puppy on the ground, "Let's play again, and then you have to be obedient and let me check..."
After the puppy stood firm on the ground, he was about to lift his feet and run away when he looked up and saw a figure entering the bridge hole behind Amuro Tetsu. He was so frightened that he tensed up and gave a warning sound, "Woo——"
Toru Amuro quickly turned around and saw a man in a raincoat approaching behind him. He quickly stood up and turned to face the other person. After seeing the face under the raincoat hat clearly, he relaxed instantly and said, "Consultant, you really don't make any sound when you walk.
, appeared behind me so suddenly, I was shocked..."
After Chi Feichi got closer, the puppy also put away its vigilant posture and took the initiative to approach Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi stopped and threw the waterproof bag in his hand towards Toru Amuro. He looked down at the white puppy at his feet and said, "The alertness is good."
"He is indeed a clever little guy." Toru Amuro caught the waterproof bag and opened it to find a raincoat inside. He took the raincoat out with a smile, "However, this guy was obviously shocked just now, and now he is
He took the initiative to walk over and rub his legs. It seems that as long as he is a small animal, he can't escape the consultant's magic of intimacy..."
The puppy sniffed at Chi Feichi's feet, rubbed its head against Chi Feichi's trouser legs, and stood nearby obediently.
"You seemed to be having a lot of fun just now. I didn't disturb you, right?" Chi Feichi knelt down and reached out to turn the dog's ears.
He remembered that in the official spin-off of "Detective Conan", Amuro did adopt a puppy, probably the one in front of him.
