Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 28 like a duck in water
In the warm and lively family environment, Ichijo Mirai smiled and repeated: "Maybe we will encounter it when we solve the case?"

He didn't take chopsticks.

The dust covers on all the meals had been lifted, but the two Ishidas did not use chopsticks to pick up the food. They hesitated and looked for work one after another.

One person picked up the dust cover and moved it to another place, while the other person left the table for a moment and brought a cup of hot soup.

They had a job in their eyes and greeted enthusiastically, "Eat in the future, it's still hot."

Mr. Ishida added: "Although Mr. Ogami is a bit old and loves to eat delicious food, he is still quite reliable."

"I just said personally that it is not good to eat barbecue regularly," Ishida Eiko quickly added, "If it has any health problems, young people should not eat too much."

"That's right, he's a good person, what can you say?" Mr. Ishida thought for a while, "You are also a detective, so you will always meet him. After all, there are not too many excellent detectives, and the neon lights are only so small."

Mirai Ichijo raised his eyebrows and repeated: "Am I a detective too?"

He moved his hands on the table and raised his hands to take the chopsticks, but suddenly stopped before he could hold them.

When the two Ishidas saw him finally taking the chopsticks to eat, they subconsciously picked up the chopsticks. When they saw him let go, they reacted and then slowly let go.

There was silence at the dinner table.

"Yes," Mr. Ishida asked in confusion, "I remember you said not long ago that you were very interested in murder cases. It seems that you also solved cases of data theft while working, and there were several cases where colleagues died. Homicide?"

"This, this is a detective, right?"

Eiko Ishida carefully observed Mirai Ichijo's expression. She didn't see anything from that smiling face, so she patted Mr. Ishida and said, "Oh, what a detective, we are employees with a brighter future in the future."

"I'm still young now, so it doesn't matter if I owe a small amount of money. When I return the money and return to the company, I might be able to get a promotion."

"Don't listen to him, don't listen to him," she asked with a smile, "Quickly try Auntie's cooking tonight."

"You just came here not long ago, and the taste is different from ours. I saw that you didn't eat much in the past two days, so I checked out the taste over there today and made some fried food. Try it to see if it suits your taste. .”

The meals on the table are quite sumptuous. There are at least dozens of large and small plates and bowls in total. There are a variety of staple foods, main dishes and side dishes, both raw and cooked, as well as sauces and condiments. There are five or six kinds.

Most of it is Japanese food, and a small part is fast food such as French fries and fried chicken nuggets.

The whole table was full.

This is not a normal meal for three people.

In normal dining rules, the elders are usually the first to use chopsticks, and the younger ones understand them later. Instead of like now, if one doesn't move chopsticks in the future, the two elders Ishida subconsciously and consciously do not move chopsticks.

Mirai Ichijo slowly responded, "I see."

"Then I am indeed a detective."

It's okay if the company's data is stolen, but how could there be several murders involving the deaths of colleagues?
What kind of company is this? So... Oh, it's an American company.

That's normal.

He reached for the chopsticks again, "I didn't expect Auntie to blow up these things."

Then he suddenly stopped.

The two Ishidas raised their hands to pick up chopsticks, then braked and let go.

"Sorry," Ichijo Mirai smiled as if he hadn't noticed, "I just touched the handrail of the stairs when I was going downstairs."

He stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands. You guys eat first."

Two Ishidas: "Okay, okay."

They said so, but when Mirai Ichijo came back after washing his hands slowly, they still didn't dare to move their chopsticks and just looked over eagerly.

Mirai Ichijo held the chopsticks, stopped teasing, picked up something and stuffed it into his mouth, "Eat it."

This is a sure sign.

The two Ishidas breathed a sigh of relief and quickly held their chopsticks and started picking up vegetables. "I came the day before yesterday," Ichijo Mirai said. He didn't consume much today and had a low desire to eat. He just sent a signal intentionally, "Auntie, do you still remember the weather the day before yesterday?"

Mr. Ishida, who was not named, lowered his head to eat silently.

Ishida Eiko, who was nodded, thought for a moment and said in a more cautious tone, "Sunny day."

"I remember it was a sunny day and quite dusty. As soon as you arrived, I helped you pack your suitcase and wash it. It's on the third floor now."

"You are so exhausted from the journey," Mirai Ichijo nodded, and then named him, "Uncle, I remember when I came to Neon, it was..."

"It's an airplane."

This time it was Eiko Ishida's turn to eat silently. Mr. Ishida raised his head and answered with some hesitation, "I also misremembered the time and didn't go to pick him up at the airport. You found it yourself."

Mirai Ichijo nodded again, "I've been here in Neon for just two days, but it feels like a lifetime ago. I almost forgot how embarrassed I was. I didn't expect you two to still remember me."

The two Ishidas lowered their heads and ate in silence.

"I really regard my aunt and uncle as relatives," Ichimi Mirai said, following the information revealed by Eiko Ishida, "That's why I came to you because I owe so much money. After all, my parents..."

Under what circumstances would a young man go to find an "aunt he has only met a few times" after he owes money?
There is a high probability that the parents are dead and there are no other relatives, so the 'aunt whom I have only met a few times' is the target of refuge.

But these are not normal circumstances.

The performance of the two Ishidas was too obvious, and it was not their attitude towards juniors at all.

In your own home, if you entertain a debt-ridden junior whom you have never met a few times, you are showing great compassion and help to the junior by accepting him. It is the junior who should be embarrassed and nervous. How can he be the host's family?

Unless, their relationship is not that of elder and junior at all.

But...

Ichijo Mirai smiled casually, his red eyes curled up, "I hope my aunt and uncle will also treat me as a true relative."

He said in a gentle tone, "Your acting skills today are so poor, I'm not satisfied with it."

"Think carefully tonight. Tomorrow, I don't want to see you two so afraid again."

"As I said, your identities are 'aunt' and 'uncle'."

The faces of the two Ishidas changed drastically.

Ishida Eiko said quickly: "Yes, I'm sorry."

"We have no children and no experience," she said in a panic. "We will definitely perform well tomorrow!"

"I'm too rusty," Mr. Ishida responded urgently, "I shouldn't be so nervous chatting with juniors."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Ichijo!"

A future smile slowly followed the previous speculation: Unless, the relationship between them is not elders and juniors at all, but criminals and victims.

The relationship between them would be a bit strange if they were treated as elders and juniors, but what if they were replaced by criminals and victims of home invasions?

Not only did the criminal not leave, but he stretched out his turtledove wings and stayed in the nest of the two panicked magpies, occupying the nest.

This is quite immoral and makes normal people feel uncomfortable.

But Ichitomi suddenly felt at ease, and all the unfamiliarity and inability to deal with 'aunt' and 'uncle' disappeared, and he just wanted to sigh: It's me as expected.

Even in a parallel world, he is definitely not a harmless rabbit running away because of debts, but a fox that eats meat.

He was quite adaptable to his new identity and setting. He felt like a fish in water. He tapped on the table and said with a smile: "Be good, don't use honorifics."

"Let's have a good meal, aunt and uncle."
