Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

Ding-ling-ling!

Ding-ling-ling!

The rapid ringing of the cell phone woke Makoto Sakaki from his deep sleep.

The warm sunlight sprinkled on the bed. Makoto Sakaki fumbled to grab the phone, pressed the answer button by feel, and put it to his ear:

"Hello?"

"Are you still sleeping?"

Gin's voice, like the cold wind raging in the Antarctic, came:

"You don't go to monitor Hirota Masami, and hide at home to sleep in?"

Makoto Sakaki sat up with a start and looked at the alarm clock:

12:41

Damn!

Overslept!

Makoto Sakaki shook his head to wake himself up a little, and explained:

"I was busy with a case too late yesterday."

"Don't worry, Hirota Masami can't run away."

"As long as her sister is still in the organization, she will never abandon the other party."

In the microphone, Gin was silent for a while:

"Yeah."

"Just right, you don't have to go to work in the afternoon."

"Why?"

Makoto Sakaki was stunned.

"Because tonight, you have to go to several places."

"The organization wants to check the effect of the drug, and Shiho Miyano needs to come forward, but we have something to do tonight, you go to keep an eye on her."

Shiho Miyano?

Hearing this name, Makoto Sakaki agreed without hesitation:

"Okay, what time?"

"Around three o'clock in the afternoon, our people will gather."

"Come to the institute."

"You will lead the team this time."

After hanging up the phone, Makoto Sakaki finally laughed out loud.

Gin is so cautious, but he actually let him lead the team to carry out the mission, which means that he is going to be reused.

Although I don't know what the so-called mission specifically refers to, it will be clear at a glance.

Glancing at the time, there are still two hours before three o'clock, just in time to fill my stomach.

After taking the record yesterday, I returned home from the industrial park. It was almost 6 o'clock in the morning.

Makoto Sakaki wanted to take a nap for two hours and then get up to go to work, but he fell down and woke up at 12 o'clock.

If it weren't for Gin's call, he might have slept until the night.

After sitting on the bed and waking up for a few minutes, Makoto Sakaki went to the living room, opened the refrigerator, took out the milk and heated it in the microwave.

After drinking a cup of hot milk to supplement protein, Makoto Sakaki washed up and went out, and walked into the Poirot Cafe downstairs.

The cafe is downstairs from the Mori Detective Agency. The store is not big, but there are many customers.

By noon, many customers were already sitting in the store.

College students studying hard for exams, old doormen who have nothing to do, and office workers in suits and leather shoes.

Some people like the relaxed atmosphere of the cafe, while others like the waitresses with sweet smiles.

But Makoto Sakaki did come for one thing.

Lunch only: pork chop set meal, 1550 yen.

This is something he has been thinking about for a long time.

After finding a seat near the window, the waiter Azusa Enomoto put a menu on the table:

"Sir, please look at the menu."

"No thanks."

Before entering the door, Makoto Sakaki had already made his choice:

"Please give me a pork chop set meal on the sign outside the door, ah, a double portion of pork chop."

"And a cup of American coffee."

Azusa Enomoto smiled:

"Okay, please wait."

Since he didn't have a pork chop meal in the police station last time, Makoto Sakaki always felt that something was missing in his heart, empty.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw the word pork chop, and of course he couldn't help it.

A pork chop set meal costs 1,550 yen, and adding a double portion of pork chop only costs 500 yen, while a single pork chop costs 900 yen, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

Not long after waiting, the pork chop set meal was served to the table along with American coffee.

"Please enjoy."

Azusa Enomoto bowed and turned around to continue to greet other guests.

I have to say that Azusa Enomoto is a very beautiful person.

But.

No matter how beautiful a person is, she is not as real as the double pork chop set in front of him.

The thick pork chop after double frying is golden and bright, fresh and juicy.

The smooth half-cooked egg liquid connected with it is like the green leaves of red flowers, making the status of the pork chop more prominent.

In addition, the set also includes a bowl of miso soup, a portion of pickled kelp, perfectly cooked rice with distinct grains and appetizing radish slices.

Sakaki Makoto picked up a pork chop and put it in his mouth.

Snap!

The crispy skin can't cover the overflowing juice in the pork chop, and the sweetness of soy sauce and onion is perfectly matched, making people feel like they are in a meat paradise.

The smooth egg is like wings soaring in the sky, giving people endless reverie.

Fragrant.

Sakaki Makoto, who hadn't eaten for nearly a whole day, couldn't resist such deliciousness and devoured it.

A few minutes later

Sakaki Makoto wiped his mouth, leaned back in the soft-backed chair with satisfaction, and finished his coffee.

After sitting for a while, he stood up to pay the bill.

450 yen for coffee, 1550+500 yen for pork chop set meal, a total of 2500 yen.

Sakaki Makoto generously took out a bill of Enomoto Azusa that Fukuzawa Yukichi handed to the cashier.

Because the store is small, many waiters also take care of the cashier's duties.

As for Sakaki Makoto's current wealth, he himself has not made a specific calculation.

The rewards accumulated from several cases must be at least 2 or 3 million yen.

A pork chop meal is still affordable.

After leaving the Poirot Cafe, Sakaki Makoto rushed to the Qingchang Biological Experimental Research Institute at 2:30 pm.

Entering the institute, Sakaki Makoto found Yoshino Nobuo:

"Where is Miyano Shiho?"

"In the office."

Yoshino Nobuo looked around and whispered:

"Brother Gin and the others are not here today, do you want to go in?"

"I'll delete the surveillance video later."

Sakaki Makoto's mouth twitched.

Good guy, there is a talent like you in the organization. It's not easy for Gin to survive until now without being angry to death.

"Delete what!"

Sakaki Makoto waved his hand:

"I have a mission today, and I came to see Miyano Shiho."

"Open the door."

The mission issued by Gin is like a pass, allowing Sakaki Makoto to enter the laboratory with confidence.

And Gin really meant this.

It's not a solution for Sakaki Makoto to stay on the edge of the organization like this.

Since there is no problem with loyalty, it's time to let him get in touch with the core of the organization.

Yoshino Nobuo heard that he was ordered to enter the palace.

He was ordered to pick up girls.

He immediately took out his ID card happily.

Ding.

The door of the laboratory was open.

This was also the first time Sakaki Makoto walked into the laboratory.

Although he already knew what the organization was researching before he came in.

But he was still looking forward to seeing with his own eyes the method of shrinking people.

The smell of disinfectant wafted over, and Yoshino Nobuo led Sakaki Makoto to the elevator.

Taking Sakaki Makoto to the elevator, Yoshino Nobuo said:

"Brother Sakaki Makoto, Director Shirley's office is on the third floor underground."

"Go by yourself."

"You're not going down?"

Sakaki Makoto turned his head.

"Oh, we can only walk around on the first floor at most, and we are strictly prohibited from entering below."

Yoshino Nobuo smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"I have been working for more than half a year, and I don't even know what experiments the institute is doing."

When the elevator arrived, Sakaki Makoto patted Yoshino Nobuo on the shoulder:

"It's good not to know."

"Cats have nine lives, but people can only live once."
