Suzuki Sonoko left with a lot of gossip. Before leaving, Kuroki Jin seemed to feel something, and quietly looked in the mirror. After not noticing any changes in his body, he asked Ana Yuki in confusion:
"Don't you think the way Miss Sonoko looked at me just now was a little strange?"
Anayuki looked at him with pity.
Kuroki Jin refused this familiar look. He thought about all the words he just said but found nothing. Anayuki was eager to watch such a trivial matter, so naturally he would not remind him what the problem was.
Since Anayuki didn't remind him, it proved to be not very important. Kuroki Jin gave up thinking and started to replenish the shelves.
Anayuki's eyebrows are curved, as if he has anticipated what might happen in the future, and expresses his sincere expectations.
Early the next morning, students started a new week of study. The morning at the Candy House was naturally busy. Many students who had not adapted to it hurried over to buy a cup of coffee and left. This situation continued until class at Didan High School.
.
So Kuroki Jin started doing nothing again, until Kudo Shinichi came to the door.
Kuroki Ren:?
"Isn't Didan High School in class?"
Kudo said matter-of-factly: "I skipped class. Solving crimes is not as important as going to school."
Kuroki Ren was fortunate that the middle school was also in class at this time, and Wen Ren could not come over, otherwise the child would definitely be taken astray.
"So there is a clue." Kuroki Jin poured a glass of lemonade for Kudo Shinichi and motioned for him to sit down and speak slowly.
Kudo Shinichi looked left and right, casting his longing eyes towards the kitchen.
Kuroki Ren: "..."
Kudo Shinichi, who had not eaten breakfast (probably not even last night's meal), was devouring the small cakes made by Ana Yuki while clearly recounting to Kuroki Jin what he had investigated in the past few days.
Once again.
While Kuroki Jin was counting the sales just now, he was sorting out the candies on the counter, and he also listened carefully to Kudo's case-by-case explanation.
The life of a store owner is really not easy.
So Kuroki Jin learned from Kudo that in the past few days, he had roughly determined Kitajima Kohei's route of action that night, as well as three witnesses.
"The person we are going to visit today is the first witness."
Kuroki Jin left in a hurry under Anayuki's glare. He was so busy that he didn't put on his coat until he was ten meters away from the door.
"It's not easy for Mr. Kuroki." Kudo Shinichi's smiling look makes people want to punch him.
Fortunately, Kuroki Jin has good self-control, he just moved his wrists and looked threatening.
Kudo restrained himself for a moment and shifted the topic back to the case itself. "I found Kitajima Kohei's temporary residence on the night the police closed down the team. At that time, he didn't realize that someone was plotting against him."
"Plan?" Kuroki Ren raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's a plan." Kudo Shinichi smiled mysteriously, "Now I even doubt whether the underground gambling den was also a plan of that person, to let him be deliberately exposed and let the police come to investigate and then deliberately let him know.
Escape."
Kuroki tilted his head in confusion, somewhat disbelieving: "Who can have so much energy to do these things?"
"Energy doesn't necessarily have to be great, as long as you have enough thoughts." Kudo Shinichi was very confident, "Let's go, let's take the train."
"Um..." Kuroki Jin opened his mouth, Kudo Shinichi turned around and looked at him doubtfully, and heard Kuroki say: "I can drive."
Kudo Shinichi: "..."
"Trouble!"
Kudo Shinichi likes Kuroki Jin's car a little. It's all black and shiny, wider than ordinary cars, and has a very nice appearance.
"Camry xv10, the model from the year before last year, was given by a friend of mine." Kuroki Ren sat on the driver's seat, "He has been living in the United States, and the cars he drives are basically SUVs. On my birthday the year before last, he said that he would give it to me as a gift."
I have one, and I can’t get used to driving theirs, so I was given this one.”
"Indeed, compared to v30, xv10 is more suitable for the European and American markets." Kudo Shinichi sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
"You actually understand?" Kuroki Ren was a little surprised, "You are not old enough to drive, so you know a lot."
"I saw them all in my dad's study." Kudo smiled, hiding his merit and fame. In fact, he can also drive. His father Kudo Yusaku taught him in Hawaii. In addition, he can also drive.
Flying, riding a motorcycle, skateboarding...etc.
That is to say, Kuroki Jin doesn't know. If he knew, he would probably be in awe, and immediately report to the organization to propose that this magical place in Hawaii be included as one of the organization's training bases.
So fifteen minutes later, when Kuroki Jin parked the car in front of a hotel, he looked at Kudo with doubts in his eyes.
"Let's go, this is it." Kudo Shinichi didn't think anything of it. After getting off the car, he went straight to the front desk. Kuroki Jin hesitated and followed. After entering, he looked around at the layout of the hall.
"...Yes, I have contacted you before...Okay, then give me a room, a double room...it's okay if you don't need a double room."
"???" Kuroki Ren couldn't listen anymore. He quickly stepped forward and held down the hand of the staff member who opened the room. He asked with trembling heart: "What do you want to do?"
"What else can you do?" Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, and then told the staff: "Listen to me, let's drive."
The staff member looked at Kuroki Ren with pity, then handed the room card to Kudo, stepped back and bowed slightly:
"You two have a happy life."
Kuroki Jin was pulled into the elevator. After the door closed, he quickly shook off Kudo Shinichi's hand holding his arm, took two steps back and leaned against the wall.
"Why are you having such a big reaction?" Kudo Shinichi wondered, "We are not two years apart in age and we are both men, so it is normal for us to live in the same room."
"..." Kuroki Jin wanted to refute. There are some people in the organization who will do anything to get the upper hand, and some members with code names also have a hobby in this regard. He has a conditioned reflex after seeing it too much.
What's more, it wasn't him who misunderstood first! It was the front desk staff who misunderstood! The way he looked at him later was wrong!
Just when Kuroki Jin was about to explain a few words, Kudo waved his hand: "Okay, shush, we're here."
Kuroki Jin is so uncomfortable being held back.
Room was 503. When Jin Kuroki and Shinichi Kudo found the room, the cleaning lady inside happened to come out and quickly opened the door for them.
"Thank you." Kudo Shinichi nodded to her, then stood at the door and looked inside the room, and nodded with satisfaction again: "It's quite clean."
Kuroki Jin raised his eyebrows and watched Kudo's performance without saying much.
"By the way," seeing the cleaning lady about to leave, Kudo Shinichi stopped her, "Can you take over the cleaning work from outside?"
