Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 207 Perhaps...

evening.

The temperature dropped suddenly, making people feel a little cold.

Ayumi hasn't left yet.

Standing in front of the store, I watched Mori Kogoro, Xiao Ran, Conan and three men get into the car and leave along the road.

He raised his head again and looked at the gloomy sky.

"It doesn't look too good. It won't be a problem until the day of camping, right?"

She was a little worried.

Qingming finally agreed to go together. If the camping plan was put on hold due to weather problems, then she would really cry.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Qingming walked out of the shop.

Standing beside the little girl, he smiled and rubbed her head, messing up the soft hair.

He seems to enjoy doing it.

Maybe it's because you feel that touching your head is a relatively intimate behavior.

Not to mention that.

Looking at the direction where Conan and others left before, he thought for a while in silence.

Ayumi looked up at him.

"Is it really okay?"

"Well, really."

Qingming nodded with certainty.

As a Taoist priest, what he can do is not just praying for rain.

In the final analysis, the behavior of "asking for rain" is essentially changing the weather, and preventing rain and snow is also changing the weather.

If you can pray for rain, you can do other things naturally.

So it's hard to say anything else, if you want a good weather, Qingming can still be guaranteed.

Ayumi, who got an accurate answer, immediately smiled.

"That's great!"

"..."

Qingming looked at her.

Smiling again, he touched the little girl's head again.

So children are really easy to be satisfied, so it seems that they are happy and carefree every day.

"The owner."

Azusa Enomoto came out of the shop.

The maid outfit has been replaced, and ordinary clothes are put on again.

It's off-duty time.

"I'll go first if I have nothing else to do."

"Well...help me take the little girl home."

"Hi!"

"Then, Oni-chan, Oni-chan, goodbye."

Ayumi waved at Seimei.

After Qingming smiled and waved, he left with Enomoto Azusa.

In the coffee shop, Qingming was the only one left.

Haibara Ai is not there. Although I usually come to the coffee shop with Ayumi after school, I am not there today. It seems that I have encountered some problems in the experiment, so I went to find Dr. Ari.

Dr. Ali is also very talented and can provide a lot of help in research.

Research this kind of stuff...

"Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

Stretch.

I went back to the store and sat at the counter, flipping through novels written by Jun Xiaolin.

"As always...Mr. Xiaolin really doesn't have much talent!"

……

night.

It's snowing.

The lights, neon flickering, and falling snowflakes seem to add a dreamlike artistic conception to this world.

But this may just be an illusion.

Conan and Xiaolan are on their way home.

They came out with Mori Kogoro and several clients, and came to the hotel to find a software engineer called Itakura or something.

This is not important.

At least for Conan now, he doesn't have much energy to care about who the deceased is, because there are things that concern him more than this case.

That is, an organization.

This software engineer named Itakura seems to have a deal with that organization, which Conan deduces through some clues.

Therefore, taking the opportunity to solve the case, he made a copy of the diary left by the other party on the disk.

Mori Kogoro and Megure Police Department went to the Metropolitan Police Department.

He and Xiaolan walked back to the detective agency, anyway, it wasn't too far apart, and it wasn't too late.

Not to mention that.

When walking halfway, I met a man.

A man whom I have met several times for various reasons.

Akai Shuichi.

I have encountered many things before, and I have made notes, so I learned the name of this man from the police.

And at this time, at Xiaolan's place, he learned another thing.

"I met Xinyi when I went to New York, and asked me if I had seen a neon man with silver hair and stubble, but he should not be a suspicious figure, because the person who came with him at that time was wearing A coat with the words FBI on it."

Xiaolan said so.

This makes Conan very concerned. If he is with someone from the FBI, then the other party is likely to be a member of the FBI.

However, this has not yet been confirmed.

Even if he is, but as a member of the FBI, why does he appear on Neon's side?

You must know that the FBI, that is, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is mainly responsible for the affairs of Yingjiang's family, and the outside affairs are generally in charge of by the CIA, that is, the Central Intelligence Agency.

The FBI ran to Neon...

Is it a vacation?
Or are you investigating something?
I don't understand.

There is not much information, and just relying on this, there is no way to figure out the identity of the other party.

So Conan didn't think much about it for the time being.

Go back to the detective agency with Xiaolan.

But taking advantage of Xiaolan not paying attention, she left a note and left directly.

Go downstairs.

I wanted to run directly to Dr. Ali, but after looking at it, I found that the light of the coffee shop was still on, so I opened the door and walked in.

"Qingming."

Because he has already cooperated with Qingming, he didn't pretend to be tender and called "Brother Qingming" when there were no outsiders, but called him by his first name.

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to be called by the surname. When calling Hattori Heiji, he is also called "Hatbu".

But he didn't know Qingming's last name.

Not to mention that.

Although it is a cooperative relationship, Qingming only agrees to help, not everything, so there are some things that do not need to be told to Qingming.

Just ask Qingming to help.

"There is a man named Akai Shuichi, help me find out his identity, can you?"

Conan looked at Qingming who was sitting at the counter, looking forward to it.

It is precisely because Qingming's identity is a mystery, he has unknown abilities, and there may be powerful forces behind him, that's why he asked Qingming for help.

Now is the time to look forward to Qingming.

Qingming is reading a novel.

Hearing Conan's words suddenly, he seemed to be a little bit overwhelmed.

He raised his head and looked at him for a long time.

"Oh!"

Seeming to have finally come to his senses, he nodded directly.

"can."

"Then thank you, tell me the result as soon as possible, I'll go first..."

"FBI."

"……Eh?"

Conan, who was about to leave just now, was taken aback when he heard Qingming's words.

"what?"

"Shuichi Akai, an FBI investigator, is good at marksmanship and sniping. He has strong reasoning ability, intelligence collection, and analysis ability. He is left-handed. He once successfully sneaked into a certain organization as an undercover agent. He was code-named Rye. After his identity was revealed, he fled the organization and returned not long ago. To Neon, it is currently trying to contact the organization, and it is obvious that the task of returning to Neon is to deal with the organization."

"..."

Conan stared at Qingming dumbfounded.

Qingming is very peaceful.

After saying this in one breath, he lowered his head again and continued to read the novel in his hand.

Compared with those messy things, Mr. Xiaolin's novels are more attractive, anyway, Qingming was attracted.

What should I say...

Perhaps it is "tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard"?Or maybe "there is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten the words if I want to distinguish it"?
Well, it doesn't matter.

After a long time, Conan recovered from his astonishment, and looked at Qingming in disbelief.

"How...how did you know?"

It's so weird.

As soon as he opened his mouth to ask, Qingming gave out the basic information of the other party, as if he had prepared it long ago.

Don't you need to investigate?

Or in other words, Qingming actually knows a lot of information?Is it the legendary intelligence dealer?
So how on earth do you know?
Did you investigate by yourself?Or is there really a huge force behind him?

"..."

Qingming has no expression on his face.

Just looked up and glanced at him.

Then he lowered his head and continued to read the novel.

Conan scratched his head.

Seeing that Qingming didn't intend to say anything, she wanted to continue asking, but finally gave up.

"Thanks, this worked for me."

Thank you.

Then he couldn't wait to leave the coffee shop and ran towards Dr. Ali's house.

He has more important things to do.
