Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 209 It's Weird
Everyone has someone or something they want to protect.

Ching Ming may also be available.

The reason why I say "maybe" is because even Qingming himself is not sure whether he, who has always advertised that "I love him the most", will risk his life to protect someone or something.

However, it is estimated that it will not.

"Shopkeeper, the clothes are here for you."

Akane's voice came from outside.

It also made Qingming recover from his thoughts.

"Ah."

Responded.

I didn't intend to say anything more, but after thinking about it, I added another sentence.

"You don't have to worry so much, go and rest first."

"But……"

"Then come in and help me rub my back, and come in naked."

"..."

A moment of silence.

Then, some weak voices sounded.

"Then... I'll rest first, good night, shopkeeper."

That's what I said.

Then there was the sound of footsteps gradually going away.

"Ah!"

In the bathroom, Qingming was lying in the bathtub, looking at the ceiling.

Surrounded by fog, vision is a bit hazy.

"In life, there are always too many things that cannot be seen clearly!"

He sighed with emotion.

After thinking about it, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Can't even see myself!"

……

future.

That is the unknown future.

Many people have plans for their future, know what kind of path they want to take, and what they are going to face.

There are also some people who always muddle through and go with the flow.

This is the case with Hui Yuanai.

Regarding the future, she has actually thought about it, more than once.

But what is the answer?

Thinking back carefully, I suddenly realized that there seems to be no answer at all, maybe because of the answer or something, it doesn't matter at all.

only……

"Sure enough, I can't get along with that guy!"

She sighed.

It was very late, even the next day, in the wee hours of the morning.

She originally wanted to ask Dr. Ali some questions, but Conan ran over suddenly, and then went out with Dr. Ali, leaving her alone here.

Although this is not unfamiliar, it is not very familiar with the house.

However, what she didn't know was that if the original trajectory was followed, she should be living here.

But this, has changed.

But whatever, it's something she doesn't know anyway, so it doesn't matter what.

Stay here alone.

I wanted to sleep, but couldn't.

Make a pot of tea, sit on the sofa, holding a cup in a daze.

for a long time.

"Dinglingling"'s phone rang suddenly, interrupting her train of thought and attracting her attention.

The hot tea in the cup has turned cold.

Put down the glass, walk to the landline, and pick up the receiver.

"Hey?"

"Huh? Is there someone here? But there's no need to leave a message..."

"who are you?"

"Me? Oh, I'm the Yamamura Police Department of Gunma County. I'm sorry to bother you so late, but please tell Dr. Ali that for safety's sake, we're moving his car away so that he can have a Empty to the Gunma Prefectural Police Station to get the car."

"Gunma County?"

"Hi, his car had a flat tire, and he happened to stay within the jurisdiction of Gunma Prefecture."

"So that's it. I understand, and I will tell him."

"Thank you very much, sorry."

"Beep...beep..."

The phone has been hung up over there.

Hui Yuanai put down the microphone and frowned, feeling a little strange.

"At this time and in this weather, what are they doing in Gunma County?"

Very strange.

……

manor.

It was early morning, but Qingming did not fall asleep.

In my room, I stood by the window with a cup in my hand, watching the snow gradually increase outside.

But then, the snow stopped.

"I really want to make a blizzard out, that kind of scenery must be very good!"

He said so.

But it's just talk, and it won't really be put into action.

After all, it's the weekend and I'm going to go camping.

I made an appointment with Ayumi, and I will go with her until the weekend, although Qingming doesn't think camping is any fun.

To be precise, I went camping with Conan, Dr. Ari, and two others, which was no fun.

It would be great if there was only Ayumi.

However, the development of things in the world is not always smooth.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, he frowned.

The crow that has been monitoring Conan has sent back the latest news: Conan has returned to Tokyo.

Of course, things are not that simple.

Besides Conan, there were two other people who appeared in the sight of the crow: gin and vodka.

"Gin is really hard work!"

Qingming shook her head.

Inside an organization, those who can be called famous are either undercover or trash, or else they died for the organization early, the one who is neither trash nor undercover and is not dead, and secretly flirts with Conan.

But that person wants to attack Hui Yuanai now.

And Hui Yuan Ai is under his "protection", if he wants to attack Hui Yuan Ai, he must either bypass him, or get rid of him as an obstacle.

Bypass him?
Being missed, no one can bypass him to deal with Hui Yuanai.

Even Hongzi Koizumi, who is also a capable person, can't help it, unless Qingming doesn't intend to protect Hui Yuanai at all.

Will protect her?
I've been struggling with this question before, but haven't been able to find an answer.

and so……

"whispering sound!"

pouted.

Cut off the connection with the crow, and didn't continue to watch the next thing.

Stretch.

"It's really troublesome, it's better to sleep."

Asleep, there is no need to worry.

……

a new day.

The snow has stopped, but there is still a lot of snow on the street.

coffee shop.

Qingming stood at the door, looking up at the still gloomy sky, maybe it will start snowing again at any moment, the snowflakes falling all over the sky still look pretty good.

However, going camping for the weekend.

"In this case, the snow and the dark clouds in the sky can only disappear."

Qingming muttered to himself.

Azusa Enomoto, who was walking behind him, just heard this sentence.

Looking at the gloomy sky, I was a little speechless.

Taoist priest……

Why is there such an unscientific existence in the world?Sometimes thinking about it, it really makes people feel very unbalanced.

Shake his head.

He was about to say something again, but found Conan and Haibara Ai walking from a distance.

This made Azusa Enomoto puzzled.

"Don't you have to go to school today? Why are they here?"

"Um……"

Qingming squinted and looked at Conan and Haibara who were getting closer and closer.

He spoke directly again.

"Go and prepare coffee, Mengpo soup coffee."

"normal?"

"Abnormal."

"Ok."

Azusa Enomoto shrugged.

So Qingming is planning to cheat people again.

However, it doesn't seem to be a scam, after all, both Conan and Hui Yuanai know what Mengpo soup coffee is, so this is not a scam.

He made it clear that he didn't intend to make things easier for them.

But she didn't say much, turned around, and went to the back kitchen to get ready.

Conan and Hui Yuanai came to Qingming.

"Qingming."

It was Conan who spoke.

If it's Hui Yuan Ai, of course it's called "Oni Sauce", otherwise Qingming wouldn't bother with her at all.

Not to mention that.

I looked around and found no one else.

But for the sake of safety, I still didn't plan to speak directly outside.

"Go ahead and talk about it."

Qingming has no opinion on this.

Turning around, he took the two primary school students and walked in. Instead of going to the counter, he found a seat and sat down.

When the door opened, there were no customers.

Sit down separately.

Azusa Enomoto also quickly delivered Mengpo soup and coffee, only Qingming ones are normal.

Conan and Haibara looked blankly at the dark green, bubbling unknown liquid in the cup in front of them.

They weren't going to drink anyway.

So get straight to the point.

"Qingming, do me another favor. Regarding the matter of gin and vodka, they showed up before, around four o'clock in the morning, and they may still be in Tokyo now. I guess they are driving a black Porsche 356A. Can you find their whereabouts?"
