Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 296 Azusa Enomoto changes her face again

In the spacious and tidy kitchen, Fujiwara Hoshiumi was busy preparing breakfast.

Through continuous practice these days, he has cast a shadow on Kogoro and Conan.

Although he followed the steps exactly, the result was still unsatisfactory.

"I have no choice but to feel aggrieved today, Kaito."

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Kuroba Kaito arrived on time as promised.

"Did Brother Fujiwara buy these?"

"No, I made it myself, try it."

Kuroba Kaito was slightly stunned, and immediately picked up a piece of vegetable and ate it with his rice.

Fujiwara looked at him as if expecting admiration.

"Hongzi told me yesterday that she seemed to want to talk to you about something. Do you have any idea?"

"I don't know, how is it? Is it okay?"

"It tastes very bland." Kuroba Kaito commented lightly, then he adjusted his aim and put a piece of meat in the bowl and ate it. Before he could take a few bites, he immediately looked embarrassed.
  Seeing this, Fujiwara handed over a piece of paper and water knowingly, "Does it taste bad?"

Kuroba Kaito waved his hand and said that he didn't need it. It was a bit strange to be able to eat it.

"It's okay, just a little choked. Ahem, why is Brother Fujiwara suddenly interested in cooking?"

"Okay, hobbies. If you stay alone for a long time, you will inevitably have some strange hobbies, but overall it's okay?"

"Well, although it's a bit weird, this rice is cooked quite well, much better than Qingzi."

Fujiwara nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. It seems that what Conan told him yesterday, "There has been progress, but don't look for me in the future" is true.

So the two chatted while eating, talking about magic games. Kuroba Kaito, who lost to him in Street Fighter last time, was ready to challenge Fujiwara's Chunli with great confidence.

"Okay, I'll play with you a few times before we get down to business, but I'll let you use one hand. I'll operate it with one finger."

"Don't look down on people."

Seeing that he couldn't even hit the opponent with a finger, Kuroba Kaito had no choice but to give up, "No more fun, no more fun, let's talk about business." After saying that, they spread out a large map on the ground and the two got down to business. .

"Last time, I followed Miss Rubell around her collection cabinet. Although the paintings accounted for a larger proportion, there were still several gems that could be verified. This is the route map of my exhibition area. We can pinch them. Take the five minutes before binding the painting and putting it in the car."

"Very good, but don't we send a notice this time?"

As a magician who always likes big scenes, Kuroba Kaito hopes to act according to Kidd's past deeds and lead out the group that killed his father.

"It's not necessary this time. We only have a gap between two shifts of security handover. It would be too high-profile to send a notice at this time."

Fujiwara had calculated that if he failed here, he would have little chance. Unless he chose to fight hard with the mobile team that transported these valuable exhibits, there would really be no good chance.

I realized that what the other party said did make sense, and I was not the kind of person who was so compulsive in showing off that I lost my rationality.

So he picked up the plan again and looked at it, "Since Brother Fujiwara has thought of the route, let's follow this. I don't have any objections. When the time comes, I will also ask Grandpa Terai to purchase props according to this."

At this moment, he suddenly thought of what the other party had entrusted him with, so he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fujiwara Hoshikai, while saying, "There is too little domestic information about Maoyan and Lupine's Bride, and most of them are useless. According to the information, my mother did not find out any information about their identities, but my mother still told me a lot of things that she found strange."

Fujiwara asked him to continue while opening the envelope.

"That's because Maoyan's target has been on a collector named Michael Hinds since they first committed the crime. Every exhibit they steal is related to this big collector. Those gems and the like It was also part of Heinz’s collection.”

After hearing this, Fujiwara slowed down his movements and looked up in confusion, "Only stealing Michael Heinz? Isn't it because they have a grudge against this painter?" Michael Heinz, a German painter, was very interested in Fujiwara. Yan is a bit special. He happened to know Afterlife Tears because of Heinz's blessing, and he also searched for topics as much as possible by looking up topics related to him.
  "I don't know about this. My mother only has these clues. Then there is another Phantom Thief, Lupine's Bride. She has never missed a case since the first case."

While the two were talking about this, the doorbell rang downstairs.

Kuroba Kaito also stopped talking because of the doorbell, and looked back at the door in surprise, "Fujiwara-san, do you have any other visitors?"

"Maybe it's Conan across the street. He usually comes over to chat with me when he's free on Saturdays. I'll take a look." After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door. He turned around halfway and said, "Put the map and the yellow envelope Put the letter away."

After all, as a detective, Conan's curiosity cannot be idle. If he saw two people staring at a map in broad daylight, he might become suspicious.

"You're just a kid, why are you so cautious?"

"Don't underestimate him. If you make him suspicious of you, you will suffer the consequences."

"Hahaha"

Complaints are complaints, although Kuroba Kaito said he didn't care, he still cleared the table neatly.

Before opening the door, Fujiwara glanced through the peephole and found a completely unfamiliar woman standing at the door carrying a bag of vegetables and meat.

(Who is this?)
  Thinking about the identity of the strange woman in front of him, Fujiwara opened the door.

"Please look for it."

Before Fujiwara could fully ask, the 'strange woman' took the lead and said, "Why are you so slow, Fujiwara, you shouldn't be sleeping every day since I'm gone."

Listening to the familiar tone, Fujiwara thought for a moment and then said, "You can't be Azusa Enomoto, right?"

Azusa Enomoto smiled, "Yes, you're not going to say that I've changed again, are you?"

"You seem to be...forget it, I haven't heard from you these days. Speaking of which, I'm quite worried about Xiaozi."

"Really? But you haven't made a single call in so many days."

Listening to her voice, Fujiwara felt a familiar feeling in his heart. Okay, even though her face has changed, she is still the girl in her memory.

Seeing the two chatting, Kuroba Kaito also walked over curiously and saw the woman at the door saying hello.

"Hello, you are Kuroba-kun. I heard about you from Fujiwara. You should be having lunch here today."

"Looking at the other party's inexplicable enthusiasm for him, Kaito didn't know how to answer the question, but he was so frightened when he saw the lively fish in the bag.

Fujiwara looked at the scared Kuroba Kaito and didn't explain much, "By the way, Azusa-chan, Kaito is allergic to fish and won't eat fish, so he won't make the pickled fish today."

Azusa Enomoto smiled and agreed, "OK, is everything else the same as usual?"

"Well, let's add an eggplant with minced meat."

"OK, you guys can play for a while first, then I'm going to prepare lunch."

After Enomoto left, the two also came to the office on the second floor. As soon as they entered the door, Kuroba Kaito asked curiously about Azusa Enomoto, "Isn't Miss Enomoto also Fujiwara-san's girlfriend?"

He vaguely remembered that on the beach that day, he was accompanied by another woman.

"No, let's continue talking about what we just said."

"Okay, where does that come from?"

Fujiwara shook his head helplessly. Didn't he just forget about it as soon as he said it? Is this still Kaitou Kidd with an IQ of 400?
  "Lupine's Bride has never failed since the first case."
