Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 97

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and Haibara Ai, Ayumi, and Conan went camping with Dr. Ari.

Qingming ignored these things.

Still staying in the coffee shop, still sitting at the counter, flipping through the books in his hand.

With a sound of "ding", the store door opened and the customer walked in.

"welcome."

Azusa Enomoto greeted her with a professional smile.

Taking a closer look, I found out that it was a girl I knew.

"Miss Xiangbaoli, are you here to find the owner?"

"Ah."

Shinna Kabori nodded.

She came here because she received a call from Qingming.

"The owner..."

Azusa Enomoto turned her head and found that Qingming had already walked out from the counter with a sunny smile on her face.

It was a smile that was brighter than anyone else's.

It's a pity that this person cut it open and saw that it was black inside.

"Miss Xiangbaoli, I really trouble you to go there yourself."

Be polite, like a gentleman.

Azusa Enomoto pouted secretly.

Mingming usually likes to do such and such things to her, but now he is pretending to be quite good. If he is not familiar with his personality, he will really be deceived.

Obviously, Xinming Xiangbaoli was deceived.

"You are welcome."

She has always had some respect for Qingming.

Qingming smiled, didn't say anything for the time being, just made a gesture of "please come in".

He looked at Enomoto Azusa again.

"Go get some coffee and dessert."

Saying this, it seemed that he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Shinna Kabori.

"What kind of coffee do you like? Actually, I'm quite confident in blending coffee."

"Then mix the coffee."

"Well, that's fine too."

Qingming nodded.

Instead, Enomoto Azusa took Xinna Xiangboli to sit down, while he himself ran to the back kitchen to make coffee.

a long time.

Walk out with steaming coffee and dessert.

Without asking Enomoto Azusa to help, she carried it to the place where Shinna Kahori was, and placed the coffee and dessert on the table in front of her.

"Try it first."

"Hi."

The new name, Xiangbaoli, responded.

Qingming didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the counter.

Soon, he walked over with a few books in his hands.

Sitting down in front of Shinna Kahori, he put a few books on the table.

"This is the book I borrowed from you last time. I have finished reading it, and I will return it to you now."

"Actually, don't worry..."

"No, pay it back, but we don't need to argue about it."

Qingming waved his hand.

Calling Shinna Kahori over was not just to return the book, but also for other things.

Of course it's not a big deal.

"I remember, you still owe me a condition."

"Yes."

Shinna Kabori nodded.

Borrowing books is not a condition, it's just a matter of effort, so she always remembers it.

Of course, even if it has been completed, if Qingming needs help with anything, as long as it can be done, she will not refuse.

"Is there anything you need my help with?"

"I just want you to pay attention to it. If you find any place or people who have ancient books from China, please let me know, can you?"

"of course."

Shinna Kabori nodded affirmatively.

This can be regarded as a little effort, after all, she is not required to search for it herself, but to notify Qingming when she sees it.

"Just this?"

"Well, that's all."

Qingming nodded.

So a matter that can be said on the phone, do you have to ask someone to go there in person?
Yes.

Qingming is so boring that it makes others run around because of boring things.

Essentially, he is black.

Not to mention that.

Looking at the new name Xiangbaoli, he spoke again.

"Miss Xiangbaoli, do you have any troubles?"

"Huh? Well...that's right."

Shinna Kabori nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked his question.

"I wanted to take care of my parents, so I quit my job, but my father and mother asked me to go back to work, saying that there was nothing to worry about, but I was worried that something would happen to them..."

A little incoherent.

But Qingming understood.

"So you want to find a job where you can have time to take care of your parents, but also let them not worry about you?"

"Yes."

"Didn't I say that? Your career lies in novels. You can write novels like your father, so that you can stay at home and take care of your parents without worrying about them."

The night they moved to the manor, it was indeed said.

But from this point of view, Xinming Xiangbaoli didn't take it seriously, so he has been hesitating.

Still hesitating now.

"But……"

"Believe me, in this respect, you are more talented than your father, there is absolutely no problem."

Qingming raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

It is still the kind of smile that looks very sunny, which is easy to be infected.

"That……"

Shinna Kabori looked at Seimei with a smile.

After thinking about it, he nodded.

"Then I'll try it."

……

Everyone has something they want.

Some people get it easily, and some people can't get it in their entire life.

The world is so unfair.

Fate is something that can always make people feel emotional from time to time.

This is hard stuff to figure out.

Qingming also doesn't quite understand, although he can read and tell fortunes, but in the future, after all, there are countless possibilities.

What he could see was, perhaps, the most probable kind.

Or maybe not.

night.

Back to the manor.

There is only Qian in the manor, and she seems to like her current life very much.

There was no complaint, no self-pity, and the smiles on his face seemed to increase, perhaps because he no longer needed to work for the organization or worry about his sister.

The only knot in my heart may be about my parents.

Or maybe there is a problem with Shuichi Akai?
Qingming is not clear.

"The owner."

Seeing Qingming come back, he greeted him with a smile.

Still wearing a maid outfit.

Her clothes were only maid outfits, and although Qingming gave her a card, she didn't buy new clothes for herself.

Maybe it was to repay their kindness, or maybe it was Qingming's job to take care of them, so she didn't mind wearing such a maid outfit.

"Do you take a bath first, or eat first, or..."

"Should I 'eat' you first?"

Qingming interrupted her and looked at her with her head tilted.

This seemed to make Qian a little confused.

eat her first...

What means?
Qingming did not explain.

After changing his shoes, he walked towards the dining table.

"When dinner is ready, bring it here."

"Yes."

In response, he walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, a dining cart came over, and there were already prepared meals on it.

But it's all neon cuisine.

Recently, eating these has already made Qingming feel a little bored.

"You should learn Chinese cuisine."

Qingming said.

That is the existence that he will never feel bored eating for the rest of his life. There are too many Chinese delicacies, and he eats them in turns, and he doesn't know when he will eat them.

Even if you don't know how to cook so much, you can only cook some home-cooked dishes.

Anyway, he doesn't want to eat neon cuisine.

"Hi, I see."

Qian has no objection to Qingming's request.

Qingming didn't say anything more, it's better to just eat a little bit first, after all, people are like iron rice or steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

Hmm, bigu?

Although it can be done, Qingming is too lazy to do these meaningless things if it is not necessary.

This does not say.

After staring at Akane for a while, she suddenly became curious again.

"come over."

He waved towards Akane.

Qian was a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything, and walked in front of Qingming.

"Hand out, right hand."

"Hi."

Qianqian's jade hand stretched out in front of Qingming.

Qingming squeezed her fingers and observed her palm carefully.

After a long time, he let go and waved his hand.

Qian was still a little puzzled, but Qingming didn't say anything, and it was not easy for her to ask.

Qingming is thoughtful.

"It's not like losing the fate of parents at a young age, maybe..."
