Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 92 Gifts
Ishino knew that Xiao Ai had a plug-in called "alcohol radar" in the animation, which could accurately perceive the wineries or former winery members around him, so he didn't stop Belmore from appearing in front of Xiao Ai, and wanted to use this It is an opportunity to see if Xiao Ai also has this kind of sensing ability in reality.

However, judging from Xiao Ai's performance just now, Ishino is sure that the other party does have that wonderful sense, but it doesn't seem to be as strong as expected.

If it was really like in the animation, at this moment Xiao Ai faced Belmode directly, she should be completely unable to move in fright, it is absolutely impossible to just feel a little scared.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Belmode no longer has the idea of ​​getting rid of Xiao Ai, so she restrained her killing intent, and at the same time, the kindness she showed also diluted the possibility of the "alcohol smell" on her body.

However, what Ishino didn't know was that the reason why Belmode didn't arouse Xiao Ai's strong reaction was that the other party actively hid his breath, but the main reason was actually the resentment in her body during the meeting a few days ago. Most of them have been purified by the power of Pandora.

At this time, Belmode also noticed the change in Xiao Ai's expression after seeing him, looked at her with great interest, took out two beautifully wrapped gift boxes from his coat pocket, and handed them to the two little girls respectively, She smiled kindly and said, "This is a gift from Auntie, open it and have a look."

At this moment, although Xiao Ai had some doubts that the woman in front of her might be related to the organization, she didn't think she was a dangerous person. She was just worried that the other party would find out her and her sister's identities, so she was on guard.

The two sisters who received the gift looked at Ishino with some hesitation. With the other's nod, they slowly unwrapped the package and took out two beautiful children's cosmetic boxes from the box.

"This is a very famous children's cosmetic in New York, and it is a very popular gift among little girls." Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two little girls, Belmode explained with a smile, "In the United States, even elementary school students You also have the right to dress yourself up beautifully!"

Although Xiaosaki and Xiaoai didn't understand what the other party meant, they also felt that if they paid more attention to makeup, they could better hide their identities, so they accepted the other party's kindness and expressed their thanks.

After giving out the gifts to the girls, Belmode took out another jewelry box, took out a pair of emerald earrings inside and helped Xia Mei put them on, saying: "These pair of earrings are my wedding gift for you, and the gift for the children." The cosmetic boxes are specially brought from the United States, I hope you like it."

Xia Mei happily accepted the gift, and gave the other party a warm hug as a thank you gift. Because she was so excited, Belmode was even surprised by her strength.

Freed from Xia Mei's bear hug, Belmore took a breath, and finally looked at Shi Ye and said, "As for Mr. Shi Ye, although I don't have any presents for you, I have a few words to give you alone."

After finishing speaking, she raised her eyebrows at Xia Mei, showing a "you understand" expression, and then led Shi Ye to the corner, talking about today's purpose in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly.

"Do you know what happened at the Kubado City Hotel yesterday?"

"Is it referring to the assassination of Senator Shigehiko Tunguchi? I have seen it on the news this morning." Ishino recalled the news report and added, "The report also said that the suspect Masuyama Ken was arrested before the police were arrested. San set fire to his home and committed suicide in fear of crime."

"That old guy didn't commit suicide in fear of crime, but was silenced by the people of the organization." Belmore chuckled and said, "You know? He is also a member of the organization, code-named 'Piske', and is the only member of the Miyano sisters. I met their core members when I was young..."

Hearing this, Ishino immediately understood what the other party meant, and responded with a smile: "So this is the gift you specially came here to give today. Presumably it was Kurosawa who did it?"

Belmord was taken aback when he heard the words, and then the corner of his mouth twitched: "It seems that you have already been in contact with him, so I don't have to worry about the possible friction between you."

"In addition, this gift is not all for your two adopted daughters. After all, our purpose is to prevent Xia Mei from being involved in danger."

Shi Ye nodded to express his gratitude: "Anyway, I still want to thank you for this great gift. If you need my help, you can contact me directly."

"So you don't want to owe me favors?" Belmore scolded with a grin, "That's fine, I will let you know if I need your help, and it's enough for me to protect my family well before that. "

"I know." Even though he knew that this was the spontaneous behavior of the Belmords, Ishino didn't really want to owe the other party a favor. It would be the best choice if he could repay the favor as soon as possible.

After talking about the business, Belmore had to go back to the counter, chatted with Natsumi about some trivial matters in life, and said that he had retired now, and planned to stay in Japan for a few months and visit various places.

Hearing this news, Xia Mei was very happy, but she also said with some regret that she would go to France for a while in a few days, but she should be able to finish her work in less than a month and come back, so she must treat her well then.

Belmode said that if he is free during this time, he will come over to help take care of the two nieces, so that Xia Mei doesn't have to worry about going outside, and we can get together when she returns to China.

While the two were chatting, some customers also came to shop in the store, but Belmore had to put on sunglasses and kept facing the counter, so no customers noticed that there were celebrities in the store.

Seeing that it was getting late, Belmor got up and took the gift box of cake that Xia Mei wanted her to take away, bid farewell to the young couple, waved to the two little girls, turned and walked out the door.

As soon as she walked to the door, she saw that the automatic door had opened, and Mao Lilan who appeared behind the door really surprised her.

But she didn't stay long, just nodded to Xiaolan when she passed by, and then left straight away.

"I'm sorry, I'm late!" Xiaolan apologized anxiously to Natsumi and Ishino in the store, "Today's club activities took a little longer, so I'm late, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay Xiaolan, you came just in time." Xia Mei responded to Xiaolan with a smile, then turned to Shi Ye and said, "Then I will take Xiaosaki and Ai home first, and you should go home early for dinner."

Shi Ye nodded, but seeing Xiao Ai suddenly asked that he wanted to stay in the store to help, he agreed to her request and said that he would take Xiao Ai home early.

When Xia Mei took Xiao Qi away from Memory Sweet House, Xiao Ai took advantage of Xiao Lan's change of clothes at the back, walked up to Shi Ye and pulled his sleeve.
