"Two bowls."

Wang Xiaomeng added, after all, he hadn't had much to eat for lunch.

"Okay."

The lady boss remembered and went to the back kitchen to prepare it.

Wang Xiaomeng didn't ask any further questions after a glance.

It was too late to ask again when the other party came out.

"Brother Wang Meng, obviously the restaurant here is not abandoned ah ......"

Conan tilted his head and asked.

"Maybe I'm misremembering."

Wang Xiaomeng said back without a care in the world.

"But I remember, and that aunt said she remembered it well."

"......"

Although it was tempting to rub Conan's dog's head hard a few times, but was this evasive tip questioning his Wang Meng's intelligence?

Obviously there's a Lori at home who despises him.

And now another one was running around.

"I'll ask this owner about it later."

Wang Xiaomeng said softly.

......

The beef noodles were ready in no time.

The aroma of the noodles was also enticing when they were served.

Coupled with the rustling sound outside the window, eating the hot noodles had a different flavor.

"Welcome."

Wang Xiaomeng heard the owner's wife's voice and looked up.

Zenith Accord seemed to have arrived here with an umbrella.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Shinjiyakko inquired with a smile.

"He didn't have enough to eat at lunch, so I brought him here to eat."

Wang Xiaomeng pointed at Conan who was munching on the side.

"Grr~"

Conan the Kid, who was eating his soup, choked for a moment without speaking.

"Boss lady, make me the same kind of noodles from last time again, with more onions."

Makhi Yakko came and sat down in front of Wang Xiaomeng.

"Excuse me, did you find anything?"

Makhiyakko asked.

"Not at the moment."

Wang Xiaomeng shook his head, observing the other party's appearance.

Zenhi Yakko didn't seem disappointed in any way and continued, "It's normal, and no murderer was found the last time something like this happened."

"Then can you tell us about the previous incident?"

Wang Xiaomeng inquired.

"This ......"

"Let's see."

Shinjiyakko thought for a moment before speaking, "The last deceased was a villager about my age, and the cause of death, I heard the coroner say it was asphyxiation, like drowning, but the place where the body was found was in a float."

"In other words, except for the cause of death, the deceased was found at the same time and place?"

Wang Xiaomeng inquired.

"Well, it's all accidents when the Sea God Festival is held, and last time, because no corpse was found, when the float was lit, the corpse was charred inside, and if someone hadn't finally smelled it, no one might have found it."

Shinjiyakko told the same thing about the previous incident.

But there was some confusion.

"Since the float was the location where the murderer placed the body, why didn't you focus on lining up who actually approached the float?"

Wang Xiaomeng said in a serious manner.

"We have special guards for this ...... every year, but every time a corpse will inexplicably appear in the float, and it's the same this time."

Shinjiyakko looked helpless.

"Okay."

Wang Xiaomeng stretched out his fingers and rubbed his forehead.

If he had known, he might have been able to get here a day earlier.

Maybe he could even catch the killer.

But there was no use talking about that now.

After all, there had to be evidence to speak.

At the time of the conversation.

The owner's wife had already made beef noodles for Makhiyakko.

Shinhi Yakou smiled and pointed to the noodles then took the chopsticks on the side and ate.

The other party was not ugly to eat, or somewhat elegant.

After all, it had been clear from the moment she arrived at her detective agency to talk that the other party was a very clean person.

But ......

Thinking about it, Wang Xiaomeng looked at Conan, who also looked confused, and the other also seemed to be thinking about something.

---------------------------------------------

Chapter 262 - Dog's Head Saves Lives

"......"

I don't know if Conan thought the same as he did, but with the other's intelligence, it wouldn't be too far off.

"That young lady, there are disposable chopsticks here oh~"

Conan warned.

"Well?!"

Shinji Yakou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't look at the small number of people here, but the dishes at this noodle shop are at least hygienic."

"So~"

Conan nodded in plausible understanding and sat in his seat looking around.

That silly face was like that of a curious child.

......

"Well?"

After finishing her meal at Zenith Yakko, the owner's wife came over to clean up the dishes as she asked with a smile on her face.

"It's delicious!"

Conan said without hesitation.

Wang Xiaomeng also nodded her head in agreement with Conan's words.

What's this called again?

Well, death for sure!

It's a bit of a flattering remark, but it still made the boss's wife cover her mouth and laugh.

It wasn't until the boss's wife went to the back kitchen to wash the dishes for a while.

Only then did Wang Xiaomeng continue to ask Shinjiyakko for some clues about the case.

Of course, there was nothing particularly noteworthy in the end.

The only thing that was surprising was that this murderer would send an invitation to kill or something this time of year.

Just as arrogant as that weirdo Kidd.

But there's no comparison between the two, after all, one is a thief and the other is a murderer.

Although they were all similar in nature, the essence was still different.

"That's all we'll talk about, I've got some things to take care of out there."

Shinjiyakko got up to leave after putting the money on the table.

"Leaving so soon?"

The boss lady poked her head out and asked.

"Hmm."

"By the way, you're not young anymore, it's better to find a young man of your choice early and start a family."

The boss lady seemed as if she was like the parents at home who were pushing for a marriage.

"Don't worry about me, Auntie Manami."

Shinjiyakko smiled and picked up the umbrella she had placed in the bucket and left the restaurant.

"......"

"Boss lady, did Miss Yakko come here for lunch this morning?"

After Wang Xiaomeng opened the door to see the owner's wife empty, he asked.

"No, only came here once yesterday, and Yakko has a good appetite, so I ordered two bowls, but the other one was packed back."

The owner's wife was slightly confused, wondering what Wang Xiaomeng was asking this for.

"It seems to me that there aren't too many tourists here, huh? Is it always like this?"

Wang Xiaomeng asked.

"Ugh~ There have been accidents in the past few years alone at the Poseidon Festival, there weren't many tourists, but now there are even fewer, and most of the tourists who come here are here to see the jokes."

The boss lady said and sat on a chair beside her with a sigh.

Conan, on the other hand, was very understanding like the boss lady and asked a question.

"Granny, why are you sighing?"

"......"

"Actually, when you're older, you're worried about these juniors, but the Accord is so big and you haven't found anyone who can deliver."

The boss lady said worriedly.

"So what is your relationship with her?"

Wang Xiaomeng was confused.

"I'm her guardian because her mother passed away a long time ago, and her father, a villager on the island, but lost his life because of a certain fishing trip."

The boss lady's eyes twinkled as if she remembered what used to be.
