Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 280 What a coincidence

Mirai Ichijo opened the door and walked slowly down the stairs.

His eyes swept across the dessert shop on the first floor, not paying much attention. Most of his attention was on thinking about Judy's performance, trying to figure out what every subtle expression, every action and reaction of hers meant. What does speed mean?

I also try to use her usual reactions to some special moments of crisis, and try to think: Is she the victim?

Amidst the gears of thinking and the sound of very light footsteps walking down the stairs, his thoughts were interrupted by an external voice, "The future,"

It's Eiko Ishida.

She turned to look at the stairs, "Come down and eat..."

"Well, it's only after five o'clock, and dinner hasn't been cooked yet. Is it lunch?"

Then he looked towards the kitchen, "We left some food for you at noon and refrigerated it for your uncle to reheat for you."

Ichijo Mirai gathered his thoughts and glanced at the time, "Okay."

He actually didn't plan to eat, but came down to take a walk.

It's past five o'clock in the afternoon on weekdays, and the workers have not yet been released from the long and arduous work. There are not many people in the dessert shop, only a few students after school.

"But it was indeed him who asked first, about the kid named Conan,"

"It's men," Eiko Ishida was the first to explain why she noticed the prying in the first place. "Actually, there are women, too."

"I seem to like you more?" Eiko Ishida glanced cautiously at Ichichi Mirai, "They often talk about you and praise you for your ability in solving crimes."

…But is this really what should be corrected immediately? !

Ichijo Mirai paused for a moment, then avoided this aspect, and reluctantly spoke, saying in a perfunctory manner, "Conan is very smart. He is different from ordinary children. It is normal for some people to misunderstand him."

"It's not the gentleman from last time. It's a gentleman who has been to the dessert shop several times. He looks tall and thin. He often wears a green suit. His surname seems to be Feng Jian. I heard the person on the phone is like this The person who called him was a police officer, and he had the ID in his wallet when he paid."

She thought for a moment and corrected, "You guys."

Although the blond classmate had fun, his basic skills were online and he would not make such a low-level mistake as "having his police officer's ID card in his wallet seen by ordinary people."

She was more inclined to the latter, so she recalled and tried to think of relevant clips, "It seems because the interaction between the Maori lady and the child was too synchronized?"

"I haven't paid much attention to it before, but other regulars said that every time they eat dessert together, it feels like they have lived together for a long time. When Miss Maori wanted to get a tissue, she just raised her eyes and the child wiped it for her. There were traces of cream on their faces, but they said they had just met each other not long ago."

Wait, it's not a game now, it's reality.

Another blond classmate who has a lot of fun?

Can you not just have fun yourself and assume that others are also having fun?

And: He has heard of this last name.

She was a little unsure, "Yesterday was the weekend, and there were a lot of people at night. When he asked, there were other girls around, and he kept asking this question."

"Uh," Eiko Ishida thought for a moment, "Okay, it seems so?"

A future: "..."

It's just Mao Lilan's age that's a problem...

If they are the same age, the regulars must firmly believe that they are a hateful couple who should be put into the fireworks bucket for Valentine's Day celebrations! ', but there was a ten-year age difference between them, so they speculated that they were 'siblings' or 'mother and son'.

His surname is Feng Jian, he wears a green suit and has a police officer ID in his wallet?

My girlfriend is trying to find out whether Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan are the people I will like in the future.

In the real timeline, he is already twenty-six or seventeen years old, not in his early twenties.

"Last time I came here, the kid was there, and the Maori lady seemed to have been praising the kid for being very powerful. He would definitely become a detective like you in the future."

But it was not outrageous on a large scale. After hearing this, Eiko Ishida breathed a sigh of relief on the spot and immediately corrected one thing: If Conan was really a child from the future, then when Conan was born, he was not in middle school or high school, but in college.

Ishida Eiko is not sure what the key point is, nor is she sure about Ichijo's future attitude. She only speculates on the relationship between him and the two ladies based on two points: Ichijo promised to go out for Valentine's Day in the future, and actually agreed to go to a snow mountain villa for vacation. The relationship is really good.

Ishida Eiko tidied up the counter and walked into the kitchen, "By the way, Mirai, someone has inquired about you again in the past few days,"

He restrained his player demeanor and asked as if speaking for the first time: "Is the man you mentioned also concerned about this issue?"

Mirai Ichijo was watching Mr. Ishida operating the microwave oven to heat up a sandwich. He turned his head when he heard this and frowned.

outrageous.

I suspect it’s the latter because: “That Miss Suzuki looks like,”

The child is trying to find out if Conan is a child from the future.

It's like avoiding suspicion, which is very suspicious.

Or have other plans.

"Then several regular customers nearby heard this and asked casually, and then they asked, 'Is Conan your child?'..."

"So everyone..."

Although the age difference is a bit big, if you think about it, Mirai Ichijo should have been in middle and high school when Conan was born, right? With his looks, he can trick girls.

The reason why the men and women inquired was: "Aren't you getting close to Miss Suzuki and Miss Mori recently? You even went out to play together."

After all he is so smart, alas.

She was deeply impressed and frightened by the gentleman who was a bit too grand even if he lived in some unhealthy movies and TV shows. Therefore, when she saw a man asking about his future, she couldn't help but squeeze her heart and was quite nervous.

"Some people misunderstood me and made insinuations about whether you have a girlfriend or children."

Eiko Ishida's correction is correct.

A future: "?"

He first confirmed: it was not the blond classmate.

A future: "..."

Everyone is so free.

After the microwave oven finished running, he took out the sandwich and asked, "Did Mr. Kazami say anything?"

"No," Eiko Ishida recalled, watching Ichijo Mirai pick up a sandwich. "He had been listening to the regulars."

Recalling some details, "When I heard, 'Miss Maori praised that child as very smart and might become a super powerful detective like Mr. Future,' he nodded repeatedly, as if he had remembered it, so I paid extra attention. one time,"

"When he heard that everyone was speculating about your relationship, his cell phone rang and he walked out shaking his head."

A future: "."

Just shake your head.

"Okay, if he comes again next time, please pay more attention to me," he said, "but please don't pay too much attention to avoid being discovered by him."

"He's a friend of mine."

To be precise: colleagues of classmates.

The surname "Kazemi" was heard on the police hotline when Mirai met the child who could not speak on Valentine's Day.

Taking into account the current status of the classmate, Ichichi Mirai speculated that the 'Kazemi Police Officer' was probably the 'Kite Line' who specialized in one-way contact with undercover agents, or was a subordinate of 'Kite Line'.

He shook the sandwich and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go up first?" "There's one more thing," Eiko Ishida said immediately, "It seems that Miss Suzuki and Miss Mori want to invite you to accept a commission?"

"They plan to tell you face to face. I don't know the specific content of the commission."

Isn't it another murder case?

It seems that the frequency of these two young ladies encountering murder cases is quite high.

Mirai Ichichi recalled it and found that every time he rarely went offline, whenever he went out with these two ladies, he would encounter a murder case.

Although I only went out twice.

"I understand," he responded simply, "Then I'll go up first."

The freshly warmed sandwich was very suitable for eating. Ichiyo Mirai's hunger level was not high and he didn't really intend to eat it. He walked a few steps on the stairs, pressed the back of his neck with his other hand, and suddenly said: "...Forget it. .”

There was no one else on the stairs, so the system lit up tentatively and asked: [What? 】

After being online for a long time, the back of a future's neck felt a little sore. His fingertips brushed against the obvious wound on the back of his neck, and he rubbed it back and forth, "I'm not looking for it anymore."

No longer looking for a lover.

Too much trouble.

Before the heart-beating event happened, everyone had the same idea of ​​a future. He looked for it, just like looking for the tree he planted in the forest. He found trees that were almost identical one after another, and he couldn't find them at all. arrive.

Most importantly: “He rubbed off on me.”

Ichigo put more pressure on his fingers and softened his tone, "I don't like to be influenced by others, even myself."

"I know myself. If I take the initiative to look for it, I might fall into a trap." After just a moment of recall, the subtle illusion of having tentacles slowly piercing through his brain that day came to mind, and he frowned, "I Is an……"

He is a person who cannot imagine that his heart will be moved.

He couldn't imagine that his heart would beat abnormally, and he couldn't imagine that he would soften his eyebrows, curb his bad taste, and open his arms to his lover.

But the most unimaginable thing is that he actually let the victim go and said something like, 'I'm not sure if she will fall in love with me again.'

This is such a different future.

Ichijo Mirai is a very perseverant person. If you have perseverance, you will have perseverance. Like a python, once it entangles someone, it will never let go. Even if it feels a little boring and wants to abandon it, it will wrap up in its tail. Can be re-wrapped tight at any time.

There's something brutal about him.

Many victims are very vocal, such as Gin, Matsuda Jinpei, and Akai Shuichi.

You can take the initiative to let it go...

"He had some influence on me," Ichimi Mirai repeated. "The mysterious victim was like a pile of firewood, weighing heavily on my somewhat suspicious and incomprehensible temperament."

Then he corrected, "No, it's wet firewood."

The more you care about it, the more obvious your presence will be.

And even though he knew his own character, Mirai Ichiichi still showed his ring as if by accident, casually talked about his lover, and pointed out the important information that he was willing to let this victim go. It was a bit...

After wandering around the trap for a while, Ichijo Mirai didn't intend to move forward anymore. He pressed the wound on the back of his neck that felt different from the smooth skin. "Forget about it. Just ignore the interfering factors."

He calmed down, cleared away his distracting thoughts, and paused on the stairs again to focus on the information he had just learned, "Rei Fangtani, focus on Conan."

conan.

"Actually," Mirai Ichijo slowly walked upstairs, lowering his eyes thoughtfully, "there's something about this child that makes me feel,"

Feel weird?

No, not to the weird place yet.

It's just that it's very slight, very slight, like a finger passing through a slender spider silk.

"Conan..."

*

"Conan, what's wrong?"

In the coffee shop, Maori Kogoro was chatting animatedly with his client. Maori Lan smiled and asked Conan in a low voice, who was obviously distracted.

Conan frequently looked in other directions and kept looking at the waiters around him. When he heard this, he paused for a moment and said, "Huh?"

He came back to his senses, "I seem to have seen a somewhat strange waiter,"

"It's not weird, it's just..."

Mouri Kogoro was so proud that he interrupted their whispers with a somewhat wild laugh, "Hahahaha! Where is it!"

The client kept saying, "You are really great. I am not exaggerating."

He looked like a social animal sincerely praising his boss, "Every time I see your news, I am quite impressed. You are indeed a famous detective in Tokyo. You are so calm when solving cases. I can't help but be convinced!"

"The president admires you very much, which is why he made a special request to us to invite you!"

Great compliment.

It's just a bit exaggerated, and has a bit of the beauty of telling lies with your eyes open.

Conan: "..."

Mao Lilan: "..."

She quietly looked at the serious expression on the client's face, and then quietly looked at the expression on Mouri Kogoro's face when he was very satisfied with Shunmao's praise and raised his head and laughed again. She wanted to cover her face silently.

What saved her was the waiter who came to deliver the food, "some coffee,"

"This is your affogato, sir, and this is your iced Americano, Mr. Mori,"

"And Miss Maori's Vanilla Ice Americano,"

“And the little gentleman’s Vanilla Ice Americano.”

The blond waiter smiled at Mao Lilan and Conan, "Please use it slowly."

Mao Lilan only looked up and then froze, "Hey, Mr. Amuro?"

Conan raised his head, looked at Toru Amuro, and then at Maori Lan, and was a little stunned, "Huh? Is this really this guy?"

When I first entered the coffee shop, I noticed that one of the waiters seemed to have dark skin, so I recalled that Mao Lilan mentioned an "alarming" blond man with brown skin who works part-time in various places. When he happened to be a male, he kept looking around to observe.

But there were no results from the observation, and the waiter who looked like a dark-skinned person at a glance was nowhere to be found.

Conan had some doubts that he was wrong, until now.

He raised his eyes and cursed: How can a restaurant on the same street hire the same temporary part-time worker?

It was no accident that Mao Lilan could 'coincidentally' bump into this gentleman one after another near the dessert shop.

Toru Amuro looked at Conan calmly, and he smiled cheerfully, "What a coincidence."
