Chapter 1131 1130 [Wu Zuo, stop reading] Please vote for me (??????)
"Sorry, my hand slipped."
Okiya Subaru looked apologetic and stretched out his hand to drag the coffee cup in front of Jiang Xia to himself: "This cup is filled with water, give it to me."
Mao Lilan was startled. Seeing that Jiang Xia had run out of drinks, she hesitated and tried to push her coffee over.
At this time, Conan also stumbled with an ouch, and "accidentally" knocked the cup of coffee to the ground. Although Conan was not sure what happened, he understood Subaru Okiya's reaction and realized that this mysterious graduate student...
There seems to be something wrong with that cup of coffee.
Two cups of coffee instantly put the high school students away.
Eiji Katsumura, who tried to drive away students who were afraid of hardship with bitter coffee: "..."
…Are you having Mercury retrograde today?
His eyes twitched slightly and he glanced at the coffee box behind the bar: just now, in order to make the coffee taste as bad as possible, he poured all the remaining coffee powder in the box.
Although there should be some stock in the store, the proprietress was sloppy and things were piled up in a mess. For a while, Eiji Katsumura couldn't find where to put the other coffee powder.
…
While Subaru Okiya prayed that Shuichi Akai would come to save people quickly, he picked up the coffee he got from Jiang Xia and pretended to smell the aroma of the coffee, but actually smelled the taste secretly.
"..." Huh? There is no bitter almond flavor. Didn't Uzo intend to have someone assassinate him?
...However, it cannot be ruled out that the store manager was poisoned by something else.
After all, Subaru Okiya has been to this store before, and he always ordered coffee.
And he remembered that the coffee he drank before had a significantly different taste than this time - the acting store manager must have tampered with it.
…
beside.
Jiang Xia glanced at Okiya Subaru with a slight doubt, feeling that he just sprinkled the water on purpose - he didn't know what big scene this boy who likes to be distracted was thinking about... Could it be that Okiya Subaru intuitively felt "Store Manager"
"He's not a good person, so he started to have delusions of being persecuted?"
The coffee was not finished.
Jiang Xia opened the menu, wondering whether to order something else or another cup of coffee.
But Subaru Okiya seemed determined not to let him order, and took the initiative to start a conversation: "Our laboratory is going to do a project about detectives recently - it's a rare encounter, why don't you tell me about your usual experience of solving crimes?
?”
——I heard that detectives love to talk about this. It can not only sort out the ideas for solving crimes, but also review the glorious history and enjoy the praise of others. It is very embarrassing. And Subaru Okiya secretly thought: Jiang Xia has solved so many cases, chatting for a while will be enough.
He held on until the acting store manager showed his weakness.
…
"My experience in solving crimes?" Jiang Xia did not continue to order.
He raised his head from the menu and looked at Subaru Okiya thoughtfully: "What do you want to hear?"
Conan also secretly looked at Subaru Okiya and felt that there was a big problem: What is an engineering graduate student doing as a detective?
That new topic can't be something like "how to save effort in building a burial ground".
Conan: "..." Speaking of which, engineering majors are not all civil engineering. Subaru Okiya's face is so white that he doesn't bask in the sun very much. It doesn't look like he is developing into this industry.
If it were Conan himself, he might start asking questions at this time.
Unfortunately, Subaru Okiya asked Jiang Xia.
"..." Conan glanced at Jiang Xia and realized that this neighbor who was always very kind to acquaintances must have discovered Okiya Subaru's abnormality at this time, but I'm afraid he wouldn't expose him - well, it's actually not too considerate.
Well. Mainly because it is very unfriendly to the curiosity of onlookers...
The two people actually talked about past cases.
Conan listened attentively. While listening, relying on his status as a "naughty kid", he took advantage of the chaos to drag the coffee in front of Subaru Okiya in front of him and lowered his head to study.
——There is no bitter almond smell, nor any other obvious poisonous smell.
However, the taste of this cup of coffee is too strong. I don’t know how much coffee powder was thrown into it. Even if Subaru Okiya sprinkled water on it just now, the taste is still strong, not to mention the almost pure black color. These characteristics are enough to cover up the possible addition of coffee powder.
something in it.
Conan: "..." Is there something wrong with the coffee served by the store manager?
But how did Subaru Okiya know?
Conan looked back at the coffee, and under the nervous gaze of the "store manager", he began to turn his eyes and look at every hidden corner of the store.
…
Okiya Subaru actually wanted to find an excuse to take the high school students away from this dangerous store.
But in the end, he didn't move.
…It’s not because Uzo asked him to come to this store, but now that Uzo didn’t let him leave, he didn’t dare to move.
Just calm down and think rationally - "Wu Zuo wants to assassinate Jiang Xia and shock his younger brother" is actually just a speculation, one of countless possibilities.
And for Usa, compared to "Okiya Subaru", a younger brother who is just for entertainment, it seems that Jiang Xia, an "opener" who can cooperate for a long time, is more important. Usa should not be worried about "his own
"The younger brother hugged Jiang Xia's thigh" and killed Jiang Xia. Even if he really cared, I'm afraid it was the innocent younger brother that Wu Zuo wanted to kill.
Okiya Subaru: "..." In this situation, if you run away rashly, maybe there is nothing wrong with you, but if you run away, you will go straight to the underworld.
...Also, it’s better not to act rashly yet.
Try to kill some time first. Wait and see if Shuichi Akai will come, or see if Usa has any further instructions. Then make plans.
I was thinking in a cold sweat when the wind chimes at the door jingled.
——This cafe, which was originally deserted, unexpectedly has another customer arriving.
…
This time, two middle-aged men came in.
Both of them were wearing suits, and they looked like workhorses from a nearby company. One of them even brought a drawing, looking like he was busy working.
"I'm Ohara Yu who made an appointment yesterday."
The older man nodded towards the "store manager". He seemed to prefer a bright location. After speaking, he led his companions to the table closest to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down.
Hideshi Katsumura who welcomed the guests with determination: "..." Why did things turn out like this...
…
Fortunately, the two new customers didn't care about the situation in the store.
They were concentrating on talking about their own matters.
Aida Toru leaned back in his chair and yawned: "I heard that the company received a new order yesterday?"
"Well, it's a flyer design, and we need it very urgently." Ohara Yu sighed, "The client said that he would go to the shopping mall to distribute it immediately, and it must be produced within two days."
"Flyers?" Toru Aida sneered, "You accept such unflattering orders, and you also have to design them yourself. You are really the worst president I have ever seen - but when I officially resign,
, you are about to officially become the polished commander, it would be good to get used to it in advance."
Across two tables, Okiya Subaru was startled and silently pricked up his ears.
Resign?
...Is he the one who wants to resign?!
