Conan: Gin, do you want to learn crime from me?

Of course, Kogoro Mouri and Conan were not feeling well at this time either.

Mouri Kogoro was a little better. Originally, his reasoning was a bit unsuitable for the current torture model. It was normal for his reasoning to get stuck or for him to misjudge.

But Conan couldn't stand it. Conan had been exposed to reasoning under the influence of his father since he was born. He had already started reading "Sherlock Holmes" before he entered kindergarten.

When I was in elementary school, I solved countless problems, and after reaching middle school, I was even more out of control.

On the plane flying to the United States, in front of his childhood sweetheart Xiaolan, he perfectly deduced the truth of a case, which shocked Officer Megure and Officer Takagi who were present at the time.

From then on, it was smooth sailing, and there was no puzzle that he couldn't solve.

But since being beaten by Gin, everything has changed...

I don't know if the performance level of Miwa Town has been improved, but now an unsolved case pops up every few days, making him extremely embarrassed.

What about the wasp and the chairman jumping off the building? Conan sometimes feels that he is not suitable to be a detective at all?

Or, behind these cases, there is a person with a stronger reasoning ability than him, who is always interfering, or planning it all.

This is even more true with the murder case in the opera house. It was a simple white phosphorus murder, but he couldn't find any evidence.

What should and should not be on the armor has nothing to do with this case, not to mention the bottle of white phosphorus found in the trash can. No one's fingerprints could be traced at all.

Although relying on his intuition as a detective, Conan can almost conclude that the murderer in this case is actress Asai Shusui.

But he has no evidence yet, and Asai Shusui behaves very naturally, with facial expressions and body movements that make it impossible to find anything wrong...

At this moment, Conan almost wanted to cry.

……

At this time, the instigator was unable to empathize with Officer Memu and Conan. Shanmu was now wearing a mask and enjoying the delicious barbecue with Xiao Ai.

Whether it was when they were in the auditorium of the opera house or when they came out of the opera house, Shan Mu was wearing the fox mask on his face. At least for now, he didn't want more people to see his face.

Only in front of Xiao Ai would he show his true face without wearing a mask.

This is true both mentally and physically.

Now, he was sitting in front of the charcoal stove, grilling a plate of steak for the little Loli in front of him.

The plump and juicy beef is grilled until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, making people want to have a full meal just by looking at it.

At least Xiao Ai didn't expect that Brother Shanmu was so good at barbecue. She was a little hungry just by smelling the smell.

"Here, this piece is baked. Xiao Ai, please eat slowly and be careful not to burn it."

"I know, Brother Shanmu, I'm not a child."

Pouting her lips, Xiao Ai raised the plate very obediently, took the perfectly grilled steak from the Shanmu tongs, and then began to taste the skill of Brother Shanmu in small bites.

Steaks are usually aged in stages of [-], [-], [-], and [-]. Right now, every piece grilled in the fir wood is aimed at [-]% done. Xiao Ai's body is still that of a child, so it's best not to eat anything that's too raw.

Although it doesn't matter if these steaks are bloody when eaten, Shan Mu still wants to grill each piece as charred on the outside and tender on the inside as possible before handing it to Xiao Ai.

Looking at the little loli who was eating very peacefully in front of him, Shanmu felt that it was only now that he had truly realized what it meant to be beautiful and delicious. Just looking at it was already very satisfying.

Although there are only two of them eating now, it is estimated that Xiaolan and Conan will also come after Mouri Kogoro takes notes.

After roughly estimating the time in his mind, Shanmu said with some enthusiasm:

"Xiao Ai, do you have anything else you want to eat? If it's not enough, just order. Don't be full."

Hearing this, Xiao Ai, who was eating like a lady, couldn't help but raise her head and roll her eyes at him.

"Brother Shanmu, you've asked me three times. You ordered too many things today. I'm worried that the two of us can't finish them. εu003d(′ο｀*)))"

"Don't worry, someone else will probably come over later. Eat more. If it's not enough, I'll get more."

Listening to Shan Mu's words, Xiao Ai couldn't help but frown.

Is it possible that the opera is over now?How long has it been?After all, it was only less than 10 minutes since they came out of the opera house.

Sensing Xiao Ai's doubts, Shanmu shook his head and said:

"Something happened at the Opera House. That's what Mr. Maori called just now. They haven't been able to solve the case yet. They will probably go to search the class later, but only Mr. Maori should go, Xiaolan and Conan. They will probably come to us.”

I see……

Nodding, Xiao Ai didn't show any emotion because of this. Although Shanmu didn't say it explicitly, she could guess it based on the incident in the search class and the opera house.

I'm afraid a murder occurred in the opera house, and now Kogoro Mori and Conan should have been involved in the murder, so the performance was naturally suspended.

However, all this has nothing to do with her. Brother Shanmu must have his own reasons for not wanting to solve the case. She doesn't want to say something inappropriate at this time.

What's more, Brother Shanmu made it clear just now that he doesn't like reasoning and solving cases.

Therefore, if she could not talk about these topics, it was better not to talk about them as much as possible.

"Brother Shanmu, don't just roast meat for me, eat some yourself."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai glanced at Shanmu who was still putting meat into the stove. After realizing that Brother Shanmu probably wouldn't give up the barbecue until he was full.

Xiao Ai picked up the serving chopsticks on the side, took out two cooked steaks from the stove, put them on the plate, and handed them to Shan Mu.

Chapter 41 Murder in the Opera House (End)

Several plates of grilled steaks were quickly eaten by the Aimu duo. Just now, when Xiao Ai saw that Shanmu had been grilling the meat and didn't give him a few pieces for himself, he simply became heartbroken.

He took the clamps and brush from Shan Mu's hands, then took over Shan Mu's work and began to grill the meat himself.

Although she is not as skilled as Shan Mu, she still ate these things when she was in the United States, so after a while, Xiao Ai mastered the essence of them.

After taking a bite of it, Xiao Ai realized that the meat was already cooked, so he thoughtfully handed the two pieces of meat to Shan Mu.

Seeing the familiar scene in front of him, Shanmu couldn't help but smile, and then imitated Xiao Ai's behavior just now, picked up the plate and took the meat.

The two of them just barbecued and ate each other, changing shifts every now and then. For a moment, they felt like a young couple, but neither of them realized it yet.

When they were about to finish eating, the conversation of a family of three sitting at the next table reached their ears.

"Dad, I want to bake too! Just give me the tongs. Look, the little sister on the table can already grill the meat by herself! Dad, just watch the little sister's father and I won't burn it. of!"

Hearing this childish voice, Shanmu and Xiao Ai felt embarrassed on their faces.

Could this naughty kid do it on purpose?Although he is wearing a mask, he doesn't look like he is married and has children.

Shanmu felt a little uncomfortable. This feeling of being looked down upon by a child. Unexpectedly, he had experienced it completely today.

But, compared to Shanmu, Xiao Ai should be the more embarrassed one.

At this time, Xiao Ai wanted to teach that naughty child a lesson. Do she and Brother Shanmu look so different?

Even if you say brother and sister, it’s fine, but why do you want to say father and daughter?

Annoying! [○?｀Д′? ○]

After shaking her head, her good mood was ruined, Xiao Ai began to try to talk about other topics, hoping to change the awkward atmosphere.

Soon, they started talking about barbecue, then about life, and then about pets. When she heard that Shan Mu also liked some small animals, Xiao Ai's eyes suddenly lit up.

It turns out that Brother Shanmu also likes small animals. That is to say, how could such a gentle person not like small animals?

I just don’t know what Brother Shanmu likes more, kittens?Or a puppy?

But in this situation, can they really raise small animals?

Brother Shanmu has lived here for so long without raising an animal. Would it be strange if someone like me, who had just been in the bar for a short time, took the initiative to raise a small animal?

After chatting for a while, Shanmu's cell phone rang. Just like before, this time it was a text message.

So while Shan Mu was replying to the message, Xiao Ai started her crazy thinking.

Today she must think clearly about why Brother Shanmu hasn't raised a small animal yet. Could it be that he just followed her own words and spoke casually?

But it shouldn’t be?Brother Shanmu has no reason to lie to others about such a trivial matter, not to mention that Brother Shanmu is so gentle, how could he lie to himself?He is not a reasoning madman like Conan.

Shan Mu, who was editing the text message at this time, didn't know that the little loli in front of him had already begun to think about the reason why he didn't raise small animals.

In fact, the reason is simple. He has only been in this world for two months. It is not easy to fully familiarize himself with the environment in two months.

Where do you have time to raise small animals?

But it's different now. Since Xiao Ai mentioned small animals just now, she must be in a situation where she wants to adopt one but doesn't dare to mention it, right?

In this case, when you are free next time, you can take Xiao Ai to the pet store and pick one up.

Having made up his mind, Shanmu stopped thinking about this matter. Now he is thinking about what the text message sent by Gin really means.

Yes, that text message was sent by Gin. The content was still in the very concise style, but this time Gin specially added a suffix.

[The technique is very good - Gin]

emm... This guy specially sent a text message. Could it be that he was complimenting himself?

Gin shouldn't be so boring, right?

He thought about sending a reply to Gin, but he didn't know what to say at this time, so he typed and deleted a few lines. After struggling for a long time, Shanmu decided...

It's better that I can't read it back anymore. The worst thing I can do is communicate with my thoughts. For a person as smart as Gin, he must be able to sense his own thoughts, right?

Nodding, Shanmu closed the phone and immediately began to study his system.

Just now, the system suddenly sent a message that the task was completed, which meant that Asai Qiushui was completely found innocent by the police. At least today, it is impossible for any detective or police to convict her.

With the end of this mission, he has completed eleven criminal plans and is about to usher in a new system panel.

This new panel is the task assembly panel.

After a cursory glance, Shanmu quickly understood the meaning of this mission gathering place.

In the past, when I completed my tasks, I basically relied on fishing in the bar, finding those customers who had been treated unfairly, or being persecuted and bullied, and guiding them to entrust me with planning crimes.

But now that he has this mission meeting place, he no longer needs to be Jiang Taigong in the bar. (Jiang Taigong fishes for those who wish to take the bait)

Now the system will randomly refresh three task prompts for him every day, and he can choose to receive one of the tasks and carry out criminal planning.

In this way, he can relax a lot and be relatively stable.

Although the income from criminal planning all depends on Shanmu's own mood, most of those clients will choose to send him a generous sum of yen after gaining wealth, presumably to seal their silence.

And this money will become the funds for the daily operation of the bar, or the living expenses for him and Xiao Ai in the future.

Of course, when dealing with the poor, Shanmu would not charge them. In fact, he clearly marked the price as follows:

He was entrusted with a criminal plan for 5000 yen. This amount of money is only a few hundred soft girl coins, and most people can afford it.
