Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 78 Sure enough
in the afternoon.

Naihe Bridge Coffee Shop.

"Bring me a cup of coffee, please."

"Bring me a cake, hurry up."

"..."

"Hey hey hey!"

The girl, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old in height, ran back and forth, serving coffee and cakes to the guests.

Azusa Enomoto stood in front of the counter, quite speechless.

"Shopkeeper, there are more customers again!"

"As much as possible."

Qingming didn't care about these at all, and was still flipping through the novel in his hand.

It seems that girls are not as attractive as novels.

Enomoto Azusa didn't care about this.

At this moment, she was more concerned about other issues.

"Hey, shopkeeper, obviously I am also a waiter, why is no one calling me?"

"What waiter, you are obviously a maid."

"Shopkeeper, be serious..."

Azusa Enomoto gave up observing those guests and Akane, turned around and looked at Qingming.

She really didn't understand.

"Before today, there were no customers in the coffee shop as usual, even if I went out to distribute leaflets, it was useless."

she said so.

In fact, it is true.

At the beginning of the period, the business was still good, although it was not booming, but at least it would not starve to death.

Later, it seemed that from the time when Qingming provoked the witch, the business was getting worse day by day, especially in the recent period, almost no customers came, only occasionally one or two.

But now, it's full.

It's just a little girl who looks like thirteen or fourteen years old, and it's just a morning plus noon, and such a huge change has taken place.

"So, what's the reason?"

Saying so, he looked again at the hall full of guests.

"Why are there so many guests today? No matter how you think about it, this is unscientific. Could it be that you used some kind of witchcraft to do it?"

"I don't know witchcraft, I only know Taoism."

Qingming corrected a sentence.

Although Taoism, witchcraft, and even magic are sometimes almost the same.

Of course, there is no difference between gods and demons in the world. It’s just that human beings don’t understand it, so they call those who do good deeds gods and those who do bad deeds demons. All use the same ability.

But in the final analysis, it is hard to say whether God exists or not.

Maybe it's just that ignorant human beings call powerful Taoist priests and witches "gods" or "demons".

"Um……"

Qingming suddenly thought of something.

Since there are Taoist priests and witches, will there be monsters?

Although I have never encountered it before, I really cannot deny the existence of the other party. Maybe someday various monsters will appear.

But it is not important.

He raised his head, glanced at Qian who was busy, and glanced at the situation in the hall.

Then he retracted his gaze and continued to read the novel.

But Enomoto Azusa continued to speak.

"So these people were really attracted by Akane, right? Absolutely so?"

"Oh, here we come, the old woman's jealousy of the young girl."

"You are an old woman!"

Azusa Enomoto stared at Qingming, expressing her displeasure.

She's the youngest?

No, not at all old, obviously still very young, obviously not long after being freed from the sea of ​​books and questions, how could he be old.

So definitely not for that reason.

"Obviously, these people are lolicons, lolicons like you, the owner."

"..."

Qingming looked innocent.

"When did I become a lolicon?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Azusa Enomoto to say anything, her eyes scanned the hall again.

Then shrug.

"I have no objection that these people are lolicons. In the final analysis, aren't most of the neon people are lolicons? Oh, there are also **, yay, neon lolicons and **, but Very famous."

After speaking, he raised the novel in his hand.

"For example, this uncle."

"..."

Azusa Enomoto squinted at him.

Then turn around and leave.

"I'm going to make coffee and make a cake."

"So it's a woman!"

Qingming shook her head.

But still didn't care about anything, lowered his head, and continued to read the novel.

……

evening.

The bustle of the coffee shop lasted for a long time.

Until the evening, there are still many guests drinking coffee and eating cakes here, and it seems that they intend to treat coffee and cakes as dinner.

So Akane, who had been busy all afternoon, still couldn't rest.

With a sound of "ding", another guest came in.

"welcome."

Azusa Enomoto, who has been reduced to a cook and a welcoming lady, walked up with a stiff smile.

Then he realized that the person who came in was someone he knew, and the smile on his face softened.

"Miss Lan."

"Miss Azi, you seem to be very busy today."

"Yes, there are many guests."

Azusa Enomoto nodded.

It was Xiaolan and Conan who came in, and they probably just came in to take a look.

Ran and Azusa Enomoto were talking, but Conan kept frowning.

Maybe thinking about something.

But after all, I couldn't come up with an answer, so I gave up for the time being and visited the coffee shop after a long absence.

"what?"

His eyes were suddenly attracted by Akane who was busy.

Of course, the main thing is the appearance, which is too similar, too similar to "Masami Hirota".

No, it can be described as more than just "like". If you zoom in a little bit, it is probably exactly the same.

If it wasn't for the completely different height, he would have suspected that the girl in front of him was the same person as "Masami Hirota".

Unfortunately not.

"Masami Hirota" was dead, he saw it with his own eyes, was shot, fell in a pool of blood, and was taken away by the police.

Next, if no relatives are found, they will be sent to the crematorium.

Anyway, there is a set of procedures for this, let's not talk about it for now.

"Sister Azi, who is that sister? New here?"

"Ok?"

Azusa Enomoto looked at Conan, then at Akane.

Xiaolan also looked over, feeling a little puzzled.

"Really, Qingming actually recruited people, but wouldn't it be too good to be so young?"

Is this child labor?

Who knows, Qingming wouldn't care anyway.

"That's Xi, she just arrived today."

Azusa Enomoto explained.

Although I always felt that the name "Qian" was just casually mentioned by Qingming to fool her, and there must be some ulterior secret between Qingming and "Qian".

At least she thought so.

But about this, she didn't say it.

But then again...

"Shopkeeper, where did you find such a little girl?"

"Found it."

"..."

So he wisely ignored Qingming and continued chatting with Xiaolan.

Conan was thoughtful.

Look at Qingming, then at Qian over there.

He suddenly had a bold idea, that is, "Masami Hirota" is not dead, like him, he became smaller because of the medicine, and then appeared here at Qingming, and there might be something between "Masami Hirota" and Qingming... …

Well, pure bullshit.

The corpses are all there. If you say that you are not dead, who will believe it?
Anyway, he doesn't believe in it, he believes in science, absolute science, and he doesn't believe in anything other than science.

But Qingming...

"Maybe we have to find a way to investigate and see what kind of person he is."

Conan thought so.

But he didn't know how to investigate. Qingming was not from Nihong, but from Huaxia.

He didn't have any Huaxia friends, and his parents probably couldn't help him in this regard, so the investigation was just empty talk.

Sure enough, there is nothing to do with Qingming.
