Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 294
Seeing that Gin did not immediately reach out to take the soup bowl after hesitation, Grace suddenly showed a stunned expression and apologized to the other party: "Ah! I'm sorry, uncle, I forgot that you can't move your hands just after surgery, how about I feed you? ?”

"It's not necessary. You can put it on the coffee table. I still have my right hand, so I can eat it myself." Seeing the girl's eagerness to try, Gin hurriedly raised his right hand to stop her.

"Oh, then come over and eat it. It won't taste good if it's cold." Seeing that the other party rejected her suggestion without hesitation, Grace put the tray on the coffee table aside with a slight disappointment, and then He sat down on the chair and waved, "I'll watch you finish here, and I'll take the bowl away later."

Seeing Grace's resolute attitude, Gin had no choice but to stand up and sit on the opposite seat. He took a deep breath while looking at the bowl of chaos in front of him, and finally took it under the girl's direct gaze. He picked up the spoon and put the food into his mouth.

However, the expected unpalatable taste of gin did not appear. Instead, it had a delicate taste that melted in the mouth. Although the fillings originally wrapped in the dough had scattered everywhere, it gave the soup an unusual deliciousness. , seems to have a unique flavor.

"How's it going? Is it different from what it looks like? It actually tastes pretty good?" Noticing that Gin's frown had relaxed, Grace's little face immediately showed a proud expression and smiled.

Seeing the girl's posture of "Come and praise me", Gin just glanced at her mercilessly, and continued to eat the "dumplings" in the bowl leisurely one spoonful at a time, thinking about what happened in his heart. Should I say that Ishino's craftsmanship is too good, or that the little girl in front of me really has a talent for cooking.

After savoring this bowl of humble-looking but delicious dinner, Gin unconsciously poured the last drop of soup into his mouth. Then he put the bowl on the tray with satisfaction and reminded loudly: "Okay, I've finished eating. you……"

Gin was about to send Grace away, but when he looked up, he saw that the girl who looked energetic not long ago was already lying on the coffee table and fell into a deep sleep, which made him a little surprised.

But it's no wonder. After all, after experiencing so many thrilling things in less than half a day, even a super strong man like Gin felt physically tired, let alone a 9-year-old girl like Grace. .

Thinking of this, Gin helplessly walked to Grace and squatted down, then carefully lifted the girl's soft body into his arms with one hand, walked out of the room and planned to put her back on his bed.

However, as soon as he went out, Gin ran into Belmode who had just finished cleaning the kitchen that was messed up by Grace, and both sides fell into a brief silence.

Looking at his daughter who was leaning in her arms and falling asleep with a look of happiness on her face, Belmore opened Grace's room and said first: "This is Grace's room. Just put her on the bed. I'll do it first." Go to your room to wash the dishes after eating, and then you will come to help her change clothes and cover her with quilt."

"Yeah." Gin responded lightly, walked directly into Grace's room without stopping, gently put the girl in his arms on the bed, then turned around and gently exited the room, closed the door, and returned to the next door. in the guest room.

Just when Gin was about to lie down on the bed and spend the night casually, Belmode's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Can I come in, Gin?"

"This is your own home, come in if you want." Gin responded with a sneer, then walked to the chair facing the door and sat down to welcome the other party's arrival.As the door slowly opened, Belmore was seen wearing a pair of black translucent lace pajamas, holding a glass of gin and a glass of absinthe in both hands. He walked to the opposite side of the gin and sat down, holding the glass of gin. Pushing him in front of the other party, he smiled and said, "The last time two people drank together like this was several years ago. Are you interested in having a drink with me today?"

Hearing this, Ginjiu was noncommittal and snorted coldly: "Hmph, there's no need to mention the past. Since you're here uninvited, it just so happens that I have something to ask you. If you have anything to say, wait until I finish asking you."

"Okay then, what do you want to ask me?" Seeing the other party's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Belmode did not feel angry, but just sighed helplessly.

"How much do you know about the person who attacked Grace today, or the forces behind him?" Gin said straight to the point.

"Actually, I didn't know who captured Grace and why at the beginning." Belmore explained frankly after hearing this, "It wasn't until you rescued her that I learned from Ishino that the other person was the one who had been pursuing Pandora. A member of the organization, codenamed 'Spider'."

"His original goal was actually to make Shirley younger. He seemed to have mistakenly thought that she was Detective White Horse's sister, so he planned to kidnap her as a trump card, but he ended up arresting Grace by mistake."

"So it's called a spider, and it's really an insect that can't stand on the stage." Hearing Belmode's explanation, Gin laughed disdainfully, and then asked seriously, "Since you are from that organization, what about the old lady? It should have been dealt with, so I won’t ask any more questions, but does that person know that those poisonous insects have already taken action?”

"Who do you think I am? How could I hide such an important thing from that person?" Belmore rolled his eyes at the other person and said angrily, "As early as when they first attacked Kaito I have reminded that person that I am currently responsible for the affairs of that organization, so you don’t have to worry.”

"Haha, don't worry? Then how come you didn't even know that it was those people who lost your daughter?" Gin couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.

Belmore was speechless for a moment when he heard the words, and then admitted frankly: "You are right, I was negligent this time, and I will not excuse it. Although I knew the news of the spider's entry in advance, I did not expect that the other party would because of it. Some accidents moved my mind towards Shirley and Grace, and it was indeed my mistake.”

Just when Belmode was reflecting on himself, Gin happened to receive a reply from that person. When he saw that the email asked him to inform Belmode of the information and let the other party handle the subsequent issues, he raised his head and said coldly. : "Since that person has entrusted this matter to you, I hope you will learn from this lesson and avoid making similar low-level mistakes again."

"I can do it without you reminding me." Belmode said seriously, "Then do you have anything else to ask?"

Seeing Belmode's slightly impatient expression, Gin put on an attitude of listening and chuckled, "I've finished asking, let me hear your purpose next."
