"Kaneda?" Hearing this, the stocky man looked at his colleagues who came with him, a little surprised, "I thought it was Professor Iwama who was treating me again this time, but I didn't expect that it was you who booked the box. Kaneda, when did you
You have become so generous.”
Kaneda Kamezo snorted coldly: "I didn't order it, someone else named Kaneda must have ordered it."
"Brother Kaneda, brother Arai!" At this time, a voice came from the side. Several people followed the sound and saw a slightly older professor walking out from the direction of the box.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Professor Iwama came over and patted their shoulders, "Why are you here now?"
Arai Ryuichi said quickly: "I'm sorry, Kaneda is taking too long. I've been waiting for him for a long time."
Kaneda Kamezo snorted again when he heard this: "I didn't ask you to wait for me, wouldn't you come first by yourself?"
"What did you say?!" Arai Ryuichi said angrily, "Today's dinner is to celebrate your promotion to associate professor. Is this how you treat your colleagues who support you?"
"Oh, you also know that I am an associate professor now." Kaneda Kamezo glanced at him arrogantly and raised his chin, "Don't think that because we were once equal, you can be equal to me - be careful with your wording, from
Ever since I was promoted, you, an ordinary lecturer, have become an assistant below me."
Arai Ryuichi: "You...!"
"Okay, don't block the way." Kaneda Kamezo pushed him away and walked to the beautiful front desk, "Miss, what is the most expensive thing in your store?"
"..." The receptionist kept smiling and said, "It's puffer fish caviar. Do you want a piece of it?"
"Come on, three servings, there are three of us." Kaneda Kame finished the order at three o'clock and turned to the professor who was in charge of treating the guests, "No problem, Mr. Iwama."
"Ah, ah? Of course." Professor Iwama touched his wallet and smiled sadly, "Today is to celebrate you. You are the best - you can eat whatever you want!"
Kaneda Kamezo nodded with satisfaction. Soon, the three people who had ordered their meals entered the box together.
"It's the professor from that school again." Behind them, several chefs heard the commotion and poked their heads out of the small kitchen window. They gossiped in low voices, "Every time I come here, I order a lot of dishes, but...
I don’t eat much, so it’s really luxurious.”
"Okay, there are other customers in the front hall." The front desk interrupted them quickly, not wanting customers to know that their staff would be cricketing customers behind their backs.
After coaxing the gossiping chefs back to the kitchen, the front desk turned to Jiang Xia with some embarrassment: "The time for your appointment has come. Let me take you to the private room - by the way, you are the hundredth lucky customer to make an appointment today, we will send you there
A special meal.”
Jiang Xia: "..." The legendary sealing dish?
He nodded and did not refuse the clerk's kindness. Anyway, Boss Amuro was treating him today, so he rounded it up just to organize the treat. If the food was not delicious, he could order more.
Just at this time, Toru Amuro also came back after making a phone call.
Jiang Xia looked at the rising and falling murderous smell of coffee on his body, nodded with satisfaction, and went to the box with this very practical boss.
When he passed the corner, he paused slightly and glanced far outside the store door.
Jiang Xia: "..." I've been really lucky recently. Could it be that the amulet I collected from the Maori Detective Agency last time has taken effect?
He looked away happily and went into his box to sit down.
??????55.??????
…
A minute later, two other people pushed open the door and walked into the hotel.
"No reservation." It was obviously not his first time in Ireland. He said to the front desk skillfully, "But I have a gold membership card."
"..."
Money talks, and the front desk arranged the room quickly.
The sound of gurgling water around the private room was relaxing. I originally didn’t want to come to such a public place, but I smelled the aroma of the food and watched the boats floating on the water carrying high-end delicacies such as barbecue, sashimi, and confectionery. The boat, and then thought of the instant food he had eaten while hiding in a dark corner these days... He moved and moved, but still did not get up.
"Forget it, a meal once in a while shouldn't be a big problem." Vodka thought to himself, "There are never chronic poisons in Uzo's scripts. They are all poisonous on the spot after eating - waiting for Ireland to eat first. If he finishes eating It’s okay, I’ll just follow you.”
With this in mind, Vodka checked the teapot. Then he wiped his teacup and poured tea into their cups: "Why did you suddenly come to this restaurant?"
Ireland had been running around all day today and was very thirsty. He grabbed the tea cup and drank a few sips. Then he looked at Vodka and said, "Guess."
Vodka: "?"
What, the Riddler is contagious, have you been infected with the Riddler virus by Bourbon?
While muttering to himself, he grabbed the tea cup and took a careful sip.
Then I saw Ireland frowning - this cadre seemed to be aware of the annoying Riddler characteristics in him. Soon, Ireland cleared his throat and said again: "When you were using the toilet in the convenience store just now, I saw Jiang Xia is coming this way. And earlier, Bourbon's car was also driving this way."
"That mysterious 'ally' seems to want to leave us and act alone. Oh, it's a pity that their whereabouts have not escaped my eyes. I want to see what plans he can come up with." Ireland smiled lowly, "When I was ordering just now, I saw the mark left on the menu. It was Bourbon's handwriting. He and Jiang Xia are indeed here too."
"Pfft——!" A mouthful of vodka was sprayed onto the table: Uzo is here too?...Why didn't you tell me earlier!!
Ireland glanced at him doubtfully: "What is your reaction?"
Vodka wanted to yell, but when he thought that Uzo might even be separated from him by a wall, and then thought about what it would be like if Brother Gin and Uzo knew that he had exposed his identity...
Vodka slapped the table bravely and was forced to start the show: "Following Bourbon and Jiang Xia? Are you crazy? Those two guys are more observant than the other. If they find out, the Bourbon guy will just add fuel to the fire."
, he can use his status as his boss to defeat the trust we have finally built up in Jiang Xia!"
Ireland thought about Bodega's diligent work as "Yamada's assistant" in order to take advantage of Jiang Xia, and sneered: "When did you see me following you? We just 'happened' to come here to dine."
Vodka: "..." Yes, yes, and then I happened to meet Uzo, happened to be involved in a murder case, happened to be regarded as a suspect, happened to be noted in the police's notebook... It's happened so many times, when will you realize it?
The best way to deal with Uzo is not to take the initiative, but to hide as far away as possible?!
