Chapter 540 Ramen Restaurant That’s Delicious to Death
  The night breeze in Cupido Town has a hint of coolness, and the ramen shop under the street lights exudes a warm yellow light. Through the hazy windows, you can see the busy figures in the shop and hear the clinking of chopsticks. The sign of the ramen restaurant says in exaggerated fonts, ‘The Ramen Is Delicious to Death’

"That's really the name." Afterlife Ai looked at the sign and said in surprise, "I just thought you were joking."

"Actually, the first time I passed by here, I thought I was joking and said that Mary often goes to the Cat's Eye Cafe to chat with you?" Fujiwara said as he opened the store door. A burst of heat and the aroma of food hit his face, making people twitch their fingers. .

"Well, let's find a seat first. There's an empty seat over there."

"Uh-huh."

They walked into the store. On one side was a long bar, where several diners were lowering their heads and concentrating on enjoying the ramen in front of them. On the other side was a table for four, where families and friends gathered together, with laughter and conversations happening one after another. , creating a homely atmosphere.

The waiter came up to them with a smile and led them to a seat by the window. The tableware is neatly placed on the table, and a menu is placed in front of each seat. Xiao Ai sat down with a variety of ramen on the menu in his hand, from the classic tonkotsu ramen to the innovative seafood miso ramen, as well as several special spicy ramen and vegetarian ramen.

Xiao Ai nodded. She saw the picture of the signature ramen. The pork bone soup on it looked rich and tempting. It was paired with barbecued pork, fungus, seaweed and hot spring egg. The color contrast was sharp, which greatly increased appetite.

The lighting in the store is softer than that on the street, and the yellow lights shine on the wooden tabletops and chairs, giving people a warm feeling. Traditional Japanese paintings and several trendy rock posters hang on the walls, which seem to be a display of the boss's unique understanding of culture and personal preferences.

Seeing Xiao Ai's eyes lingering on the menu, Fujiwara suggested with a smile: "If this is your first time here, you might as well try the signature 'delicious to death ramen'. It is said that it uses special bone broth and secret ingredients. .”

They ordered two bowls of the signature ramen, and Fujiwara ordered an additional hot and sour side dish, and another. The waiter nodded and took note, then turned around and brought two glasses of ice water and walked to the kitchen.

Only then did Fujiwara realize that the uncle just now was actually the chef and the store manager.

Xiao Ai looked around the store, listening to the chatter of the surrounding diners, and then replied, "It's not often, it's just that I came back several times and found her chatting with the eldest sister, but she stopped talking as soon as she saw me coming back."

Fujiwara rubbed his neck after hearing this. He really couldn't imagine what Mary and Lai Sheng Lei could talk about.
  "Why, didn't she tell you?" Xiao Ai said, taking a sip of ice water.

"No, Mary has her own ideas. Since she hasn't told me about this, I'm afraid she has her own ideas."

The relationship between Fujiwara and Mary is somewhat special. They are not simply adopted, nor are they friends, but a stage that even Fujiwara himself cannot explain clearly. Mary took medicine and became smaller, and then came to Neon and met the organization. attack, lost contact with her relatives and friends, and happened to encounter her being adopted. At first, Fujiwara thought she was the daughter of a diplomat, and did not suspect Haibara Ai at all. It was just because of various coincidences that she knew that Mari was Akemi and the others. Aunt, she is Akai Shuichi’s mother.
  Basically, Fujiwara has nothing to do with them, but a series of encounters brought them together. In a sense, they can at best be regarded as a makeshift group of people put together for various reasons. They form a large family, and Fujimoto acts as a caretaker to look after them.

Yes, he is taking care of them
  Xiao Ai blinked her eyes, swallowed what she wanted to say, took off her coat and hung it behind her back, holding her face in a daze.

Fujihara glanced at the beautiful curves displayed by the girl, then lowered his head and remembered that Mingmei might cook dinner for him, so he took out his mobile phone and sent Mingmei a text message and waited for her reply.

After a while, Xiao Ai noticed something strange, moved Fujiwara's arm with his hand, and asked, "Why don't you look at me or speak?" "What did you say?" Fujiwara looked at Xiao Ai and then asked Glancing at the phone, he said, "Wait a minute."

Fujiwara's perfunctory attitude made Xiao Ai a little annoyed. She was about to have an attack but she had no good reason, so she followed Fujiwara's example and turned away to sulk.

On the way here, Fujiwara received a call from the art museum, saying that Kidd had written them a letter to steal the gems that would be exhibited in collaboration with the Suzuki Group.

This was a bit unexpected by Fujiwara, but it was reasonable. After all, Kaito and I had talked about the sparse flow of people in the art museum before. That guy was probably using the reputation of gems to draw traffic to the art museum.
  Fujiwara asked the curator to be responsible for all security, and there was no need to worry too much about Kidd. In order to settle things once and for all, Fujiwara Shigetsu sent a text message to Kidd, asking him to take it easy.

[You can divert traffic as long as you want, but don’t go too far. I actually checked the gem and it’s not the Pandora you’re looking for.]

[I see, I understand, then I’m afraid tonight’s performance will have to be cancelled.]

【Cancel? Are you serious? Wouldn't there be a problem if you canceled the preview time so casually? 】

After sending the text message, Fujiwara took a sip of ice water and looked at the chat box, and found that Kaito had gone offline.
  "Good guy"

After replying to the text message, Fujiwara noticed that Xiao Ai turned away and was sulking, looking like she couldn't be coaxed no matter how hard she tried, so he joked, "Actually, I received a notice from the art museum yesterday. Kaitou Kidd seems to be worried about the recent situation." One of the gems on display is of great interest.”

"Ah? Kidd?" When Ai heard about Kidd in the next life, she immediately became interested. As expected, she straightened her posture and wanted to continue listening. However, Fujiwara said unhurriedly at this time, "But he may not know that I actually I don’t care if he comes or not.”

Afterlife Ai took the bait directly and asked, "Why, aren't you worried that he will steal the gem? Could it be that today is April Fool's Day and he just wants to trick the police?"

"April Fool's Day?" Fujiwara looked at the calendar on his phone with some surprise, and found out that today was April Fool's Day. No wonder Kaito didn't reply to the message. But since Xiao Ai mentioned this matter, Fujiwara followed suit and nodded, "It's almost the same, but the reason why I waited longer is because Kidd is not looking for this gem."

"Ah? So what is Kid looking for? Could it be that he is too?"

"It's different from what you said. What he is looking for is a gem called Pandora, a gem that is said to make people immortal. It is said that you can see the gem by putting it in the moonlight."

While the two were chatting, a short-haired girl in the other seat was chewing unbroken ramen and staring at the chest of the girl next to her with envy:

"so big"
