Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 87 Metamorphosis

The toothpick is the symbol of Date Airlines.

From the beginning of their acquaintance, Takagi Wataru often saw Datehang holding a toothpick in his mouth. The connection between the two was so deep that not long after the car accident, when he occasionally saw a toothpick, he would suddenly startle and slow down.

The toothpick in front of the tombstone is very small and silver, similar to the color of marble, so it is very difficult to detect.

Takagi Wataru picked up the toothpick and subconsciously looked around blankly. His first reaction was: "Has anyone come to see Mr. Ida?"

The second reaction was: "You came so early. Are you the friend Mr. Ida said before he died?!"

He looked around for a moment, but didn't find even a trace of anyone. He only saw rows of tombstones. He was a little disappointed, "It seems that I missed it."

He lowered his head again and continued to observe the toothpick.

This silver toothpick is longer than an ordinary wooden toothpick. The end is very thin, but not sharp. The top is a bit rounded, and there is a small arrow piercing the heart pattern engraved on the top.

It doesn't look like toothpicks are everywhere, maybe there are clues.

After hesitating for a moment, Takagi Wataru put away the toothpick with a handkerchief and turned to check the cemetery's visit register.

The register contains many recent visits, clearly marked in various handwritings with the name of the visitor and the deceased person to be visited.

But the strange thing is that Takagi Wataru went through the visit list in the past month, and except for the one he signed today, he found no record of anyone else visiting Datehang.

He could only stop in doubt and leave his contact information and request with the doorman, "If anyone comes to visit Officer Datehang, please pass my contact information to him and tell him that Mr. Date has a box of relics." Stay with me."

"please."

After visiting Datehang, the next destination is the dessert shop.

The dessert that Officer Inoue requested for help was very simple, but the dessert shop was the designated one. It was a relatively famous dessert shop that I searched recently.

Takagi Wataru has heard quite a lot: 'Super handsome detective'.

He seriously suspected that Officer Inoue was not drunk for the sake of the dessert at all, but for the famous detective in the dessert shop. However, since he was very busy at work recently and everyone was very irritable, if he said it, he might be beaten up by the piranha. I don’t dare to say it.

The cemetery is not in the bustling area of ​​Tokyo, and it is nearly half an hour away from the dessert shop.

When Takagi Wataru successfully arrived at the dessert shop, it was already [-]:[-]. He opened the door and walked in. He was the first to see the 'Between Landscapes' where the drunkard didn't care about wine but the mountains and rivers.

A young man came out of the kitchen behind the glass counter. He was holding a cup of coffee, moving his shoulders casually, and casually greeted the owner, "Then I'll go up and rest first."

The shop owner chased him out helplessly and stopped in front of the stairs, "Okay, okay, next time don't play games all night long, I'm too tired."

The young man waved his hand without looking back and took a sip of coffee. His careless movements paused for a moment, and his brows instantly furrowed.

After swallowing the sip of coffee completely, the young man returned to his laziness. He glanced sideways, glanced at Takagi Wataru, and continued walking upstairs.

From the beginning to the end, even when the young man turned his head and looked over, Takagi Wataru never saw the other person's complete appearance, only two-thirds of his face at most.

But he still stopped silently: No wonder, no wonder Officer Inoue repeatedly told me that he must buy it from this store. He really doesn’t care about drinking, haha...

With a dry smile, Takagi Wataru took another step and walked to the counter, "Hello, I'd like a tiramisu and iced American style for takeaway, thank you."

The shop owner wears a name tag of [Eiko Ishida].

She left the bottom of the stairs and walked to the counter. She looked Takagi Wataru up and down. A subtle vigilance appeared on her face. The first words she spoke were not to entertain the guests, but: "The one who came up just now." I'm not a store clerk and won't help in the store."

【stop looking. 】

"He is a detective. He just solved a case some time ago. He is not only sharp, but also very skilled."

She looked Takagi Wataru up and down again and emphasized: "You can easily knock someone down." Takagi Wataru: "?"

"Very, very powerful," he tentatively praised, a little confused, and swallowed his question, "I've heard of Mr. Future."

But why did you tell him this and emphasize...?
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the vigilance on Ishida Eiko's face became even stronger, so he quickly added, "I am a colleague of Officer Inoue. She was on duty today and could not come to buy desserts, so she asked me to help."

After thinking about it, he glanced upstairs and added consciously, "Just a colleague."

"You're a colleague of Officer Inoue," Ishida Eiko's vigilance was half gone, and she became even more vigilant because of Takagi Wataru's glance upstairs, "You don't have a good relationship? Why is it bad?"

Isn't it because you are a pervert? !
It won't be another 'Officer Inoue and I like you very much, can you ask Mr. Future to develop it in depth with me and Officer Inoue', right? !
Gao Mushe noticed this vigilance and couldn't help but put a question mark: "?"

"Ah, yes, we don't see each other often, she said just tell her name and you'll know the taste."

"Let me pay first."

Ishida Eiko glanced at Takagi Wataru warily a few more times, then turned to confirm that the counter door was closed. People outside the counter could not open the door directly and go upstairs. Then she turned to get the dessert, "Officer Inoue only orders the same thing every day. I know the taste of the food, so you don’t need to pay for it. I’ll charge it to the account first, and you can take the food and leave.”

It is best to disappear in seconds and not stay for a second.

Takagi Wataru didn't know why, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

He lowered his head and looked at the desserts on the counter, hesitating a little: Since Officer Inoue buys them every day, does it mean that the desserts are quite delicious without the 'Mr. Future' factor?
So why don't you buy some more and share them with everyone?It just so happens that I can give it to Sato Miwako.

Thinking of this, Takagi Wataru said, "Um, what can you recommend to me... Huh?"

His eyes were fixed on a dessert on the counter: it was a piece of cake the size of a finger, made of red velvet, with a silver toothpick inserted on it, and a small arrow piercing the heart pattern was engraved on the top of the toothpick.

It’s exactly the same as the toothpick in front of Datehang’s tombstone!
Takagi Wataru quickly asked, "Hello, are there many cakes with toothpicks in the store? Is anyone taking out today?"

He considered Datehang's age, "It should be a man in his 30s or [-]s? Please!"

Ishida Eiko glanced at the cake and said, "What?"

She looked at Takagi Wataru up and down, her eyes no longer wary, but looking at perverts definitely, "Not today, but there was some time ago."

"There is a young man in his 30s and [-]s who often buys this cake. According to him, it looks like a heart and can show love to his girlfriend."

Before Takagi Wataru's eyes lit up and he asked, she said the impressive name, "Zhu Xingda."

Ishida Eiko finished packing the desserts that Officer Inoue needed, pushed them to Takagi Wataru, and said quietly: "The only customer on our blacklist."

"That guy is very sensible. He hasn't been here since Valentine's Day."

She slapped the table and made a sound to drive away the pervert, "It's packed, please leave!"

"goodbye!"

Takagi She: "???"

*

Ichijo Mirai put down his coffee cup, moved his shoulders that were feeling sore a few times, glanced downstairs after hearing the sound, and guessed: "Isn't there another random pervert?"

"As expected of neon."

He opened the game cabin and entered the game:

[Police Academy Newcomer].
