Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 37 Mr. Future
The sound of Mirai coming downstairs was silent, and Eiko Ishida was almost at the other end of the dessert shop without noticing him. She thought for a moment, "We talked about building a new amusement park for so long, and it's finally built?"

"I remember that after the roller coaster accident happened and a child fell off, we started clamoring to close the business and build a new one. I was still young at the time. Oh, yes, you were just remembering things at that time, right? You probably don't remember the specifics."

Normal children generally don't remember things that have nothing to do with them, but Suzuki Sonoko remembers, "I was really young at the time, but I still remember some."

Because the amusement park is not entirely irrelevant to her.

"Because I was the one who found the body."

She recalled it for a few seconds, stopped sensibly, and simply explained: "That haunted house was modeled after Blizzard Villa. A friend of mine was very interested and wanted to see it, so I went to set up the scares in advance. Ahem, so I went to check out the locations in advance to see where they were the scariest and least scary.”

"In the middle of the renovation, I suddenly heard gunshots," Suzuki Sonoko poked at the cake in the glass cabinet with her eyes faintly, "Then I found a body on the first floor on the balcony..."

It's a child's nightmare.

Ishida Eiko was very surprised: "The body you found?"

She looked up and down at Sonoko Suzuki, who was obviously a high school student, and estimated how old the lively high school student was when she found the body. Her tone became softer unconsciously, "Are you okay now? Don't think too much."

He also advised: "Don't go to scary places like haunted houses, it's very..."

unlucky.

Halfway through, Eiko Ishida had a second thought: Oh, if the presence of a corpse is bad luck, then the haunted house seems not as bad as the dessert shop. The haunted house only has a corpse, so what's the point?

The dessert shop has witnessed two car accidents. Although it did not happen in the dessert shop, but in the nearby streets, the dessert shop has a murderer that is not even found in the haunted house.

Saying 'unlucky' sounds like a secret complaint, but the taste changes when you say it.

"Ahaha," she laughed dryly and said, "It's scary."

'Scary places are scary', this is nonsense.

Ishida Eiko quickly changed the subject, "It's better not to go to an amusement park when going on a date."

Suzuki Sonoko nodded in agreement: "That's what I said at the beginning, and I tried to recall telling her how terrifying it was to find a dead body in a haunted house."

"And the police said afterwards that since we heard the gunfire and found the body, it means that the closest distance between us and the murderer was actually only more than ten meters, so we just passed by him."

"Isn't it scary?"

scary.

Discovering a corpse is a terrifying thing, but finding that you have unknowingly passed by the murderer, and that you will become a corpse if some accident occurs, will only make you feel more creepy and frightened.

Suzuki Sonoko was very scared.

However, "I just said that when I passed by each other and was a little scared,"

She cleared her throat, "I saw the young future gentleman in your store,"

"He smiled at me and I..."

I was no longer afraid in an instant.

Thinking about "The Corpse in the Haunted Mansion" now, Suzuki Sonoko can only clearly remember the way she was stunned for a moment when she just came to the conclusion of "I just passed by the murderer" when she saw a future.

This is the benefit of beauty. She pretended not to feel the warmth rising on her face or the inexplicable hesitation in her voice, and asked sheepishly: "Is that future gentleman a relative of yours?"

"Is he a mixed race? I don't think he looks like a Tokyoite. At first, I thought he was Italian. He is very charming when he smiles and his eyebrows are deep!"

Moreover, "Have you just come back from abroad?" "His Japanese pronunciation and pronunciation are very nice, as if he is speaking French."

In short, he is definitely not a Tokyo native who has always lived nearby. He just moved here recently.

Otherwise, Suzuki Sonoko would have discovered it long ago.

Eiko Ishida: "..."

She hesitated to speak.

Suzuki Sonoko said that when she discovered the body when she was a child, she was still a little fond of her, saying, "I found the body, it was a bit unlucky." Now she is even more sympathetic, "I am interested in someone who shouldn't be interested, how can I be so unlucky?"

"It's not France, I came back from the United States." It was not a normal attitude to keep silent completely. She could only say vaguely, "It is true that she came back recently."

Then asked: "Do you know his name is 'Future'?"

Suzuki Sonoko: "I heard you call his name."

"It's not just me who knows, many people know it, right?" She pretended to be a detective, "Yesterday, when my friend and I went to a ramen restaurant to eat, we talked about Mr. Future. Even the waiters at the ramen restaurant knew about it. !”

Ishida Eiko nodded, "Even the ramen restaurant...ah?"

Even the waiter at the ramen restaurant knows Ichichi Mirai?ah?
"Hey," Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised by Ishida Eiko's surprised attitude, "Don't you know that Mr. Future is very conspicuous?"

"Recently, many classmates in my school have recommended dessert shops to each other, saying that the desserts are very delicious," she said euphemistically. "It's normal to know the nearby shops, right?"

She thought for a while and then said: "The waiter at the ramen restaurant is also very handsome. He should be from abroad. He has blond hair, but his accent is completely Tokyo."

"At that time, he was responsible for ordering food for us. After hearing us chatting about Mr. Future, he confirmed it and said that he didn't expect that not only the waitress in the store was chatting about Mr. Future, but also the customers."

No, not only the students in the school, but also the waiters in the nearby shops are chatting? !

Eiko Ishida: "..."

She urgently recalled how many times Yichichi Mirai had appeared in the store recently: not many times, only helping out for a while when eating, and the time he spent in the store in bits and pieces a day added up to at most one hour.

...How did this attract so much attention!

She laughed dryly, "It won't happen often in the future."

"Very few," Suzuki Sonoko corrected sternly, a little surprised, "The waiter said the same thing, saying it was a pity that he had not seen Mr. Future, who appears rarely but is very handsome, with his own eyes."

"And said..."

She looked at Eiko Ishida and lowered her voice. After receiving the urging from her eyes, she said sheepishly: "Weren't there two car accidents in this area recently?"

"He also said that there are still people willing to move in at this time. I was originally worried that the passenger flow would drop significantly recently. It seems that people are not so concerned about some strange car accidents. It is really great."

"Then I said that Mr. Future seemed to be a foreigner who had just returned from abroad in the past few days. He probably didn't care much."

Do foreigners care? There have been two car accidents involving people lying side by side recently. Ishida Eiko doesn't know, but she knows Ichijo Mirai definitely doesn't care.

This topic is too dangerous.

"I won't pay much attention to these things in the future," Ishida Eiko stiffly changed the topic, "How about this one? It goes well with the bitter coffee. There are crispy beads in it, and it tastes great when you bite it."

She discovered a future, "Hey, the future?"
