I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

After reminiscing, Dr. Ali talked eloquently and introduced this person to Shinichi.

"CG special effects producer? Itakura Taku? Development programmer?"

At the same time, Shinichi finally remembered that he heard this from the absinthe woman.

Although he joined the black organization, he only wanted to exercise his abilities and was not interested in the confidential information at all.

He accidentally learned about the organization's recruitment of powerful programmers while chatting with Absinthe, as well as the name Taku Itakura.

A genius programmer targeted by a black organization.

If he is such a talented programmer, he might actually be able to develop a new type of smartphone chip.

"Then where is Taku Itakura now?"

Thinking of this, Xinyi also had the idea of ​​meeting this person.

"I heard from my friend that Taku Itakura moved to the countryside in order to concentrate on developing new programs. I don't know where exactly he is, but I can ask."

Dr. A Li said and took out his mobile phone.

For ten minutes, Shinichi sat on the sofa in the living room, studying the brick-shaped smartphone in his hand and waiting.

It seems to be a common problem among elderly people. Dr. Ari called clearly to ask for news about Taku Itakura, but he started chatting enthusiastically with the person on the other side of the phone.

From recent life situations to professional scientific knowledge, there is no intention of stopping.

Fortunately, Shinichi is not in a hurry or rushing.

After waiting for more than an hour, Dr. Ali slowly walked out of the laboratory.

"How about Doctor, have you asked me clearly?"

Shinichi yawned boredly and asked the doctor.

"Ask? Oh, that's right! I completely forgot about this!"

Dr. Ali thought doubtfully for a moment, and then shouted as if he suddenly realized something.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll call again right now!"

While apologizing to Xinyi, the doctor took his mobile phone and dialed the number just now.

"Oh~ It seems we have to wait today."

Leaning on the sofa, Shinichi sighed helplessly.

Isn't this doctor getting older and starting to show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease? .

Chapter No.16 Yuanzi feels okay again (1/4)

　　Downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, Polo Coffee Shop.

Sitting by the window, Shinichi took a sip of freshly brewed black tea, and then looked out the window, as if waiting for something.

Yesterday, he still couldn't get the specific address of Taku Itakura.

It's not that Dr. Ali got sick again, but that his friend didn't know the other person's specific address after moving.

It is said that Taku Itakura did not tell others because he was afraid that someone would disturb him and affect his research.

However, in Shinichi's opinion, this was probably a special request from the black organization for the sake of confidentiality.

Even Itakura Zhuo may have had his personal freedom restricted, and had no chance to contact the outside world before he fully gained the trust of the black organization.

After figuring this out, Shinichi is not in a hurry.

If that doesn't work, just ask the woman who sells gin or absinthe, and you'll definitely be able to find it.

He has other things going on right now.

Today the diligent little angel still went to school early to practice karate.

So what Shinichi is waiting for here is another person.

"jingle"

The pleasant sound of wind chimes at the door reminded the shop owner that new customers were coming.

Shinichi followed the sound and saw an energetic figure.

"Dang Dang! Miss Yuanzi is completely resurrected! How is it? Are you waiting in a hurry?"

Although she was almost half an hour late, the girl didn't feel any embarrassment at all and sat down next to Shinichi without any hesitation.

At the same time, he didn't forget to grab the tea cup from Shinichi's hand and took a big sip.

"Huh~ I almost died of thirst!"

Although she didn't care about her lateness, in fact, she rushed over immediately after realizing that she got up late.

Fortunately, Yuanzi is not as spoiled as other eldest ladies, otherwise she would have collapsed from exhaustion by now.

"Drink slowly, don't choke."

Shinichi was not angry that his cup was robbed, and asked the waiter to bring him another cup of black tea.

After taking a short rest, Sonoko's breathing returned to normal, and suddenly he tilted his head and stared at Shinichi, looking left and right non-stop.

"what happened?"

Shinichi touched his face.

Could it be that he has become handsome again and this girl can't hold back anymore?

"You seem to have changed a little from the past two days?"

Looking away, Yuanzi nodded, as if he had discovered something terrible.

"You cut your hair! Right!"

Even Shinichi was shocked by what Sonoko said.

Unexpectedly, after working on it for a long time, this girl's focus was actually on this.

"Well, I went with Xiaolan the day before yesterday."

After completing the procedures for returning to school that day, on the way home, the little angel discovered that his hair had not been cut for a year, and the bangs on his forehead almost covered his eyes.

So I took him to get a haircut along the way.

"Hmph, as expected of me, you have discovered such small details."

After receiving the confirmation, Yuanzi nodded proudly.

Seemingly influenced by Shinichi, she also became somewhat interested in reasoning.

But from Shinichi's point of view, this girl just enjoys the feeling of being praised and admired.

"Don't be proud. Let's set off after you've rested."

Interrupting the girl's elation, Shinichi said with a smile.

About twenty minutes later, the two of them stood at the entrance of Mihua Shopping Mall, planning today's trip.

Because he has not been back for nearly a year, and he is in the growth period, he has grown rapidly. He is now almost 1.8 meters tall.

This also resulted in the clothes at home being a bit too small.

And in the past few days since he came back, he noticed that the little angel didn't seem to buy many new clothes this year, and he was wearing the same clothes he had seen before.

This is rare for a girl in adolescence who loves to dress up and look beautiful.

The fundamental reason is that Mouri Kogoro is too useless, making it difficult for the family's income and expenditure to afford the additional expenses.

And Xiaolan is very frugal and will only use her small pocket money where needed.

So together with Yuanzi, we made a big purchase without telling the little angel.

"But have you thought about what excuse you can use to give the things to Xiaolan?"

The plan was perfect, but there was only one thing that worried Yuanzi.

Although she looks gentle and is actually gentle, Xiaolan also has a strong side.

For example, even if she has people like Sonoko and Shinichi who are not short of money, she will never use their money as a matter of course.

Every time Shinichi and Sonoko wanted to give her something, they had to choose special days like birthdays and holidays so that she couldn't refuse.

It's the same this time.

"Of course I have thought about it. The National High School Karate Kanto Competition will be held soon after school starts. When Xiaolan wins the championship, it will be a perfect gift to celebrate."

As for the possibility of Little Angel missing out on the championship, Shinichi never considered it at all.

With his own guidance and Xiaolan's talent, if he still doesn't win the championship, the only way he can do it is because of the blind referee blowing the whistle.

"I see, what a great opportunity!"

Yuanzi also nodded in agreement.

As a well-known Ranbuki, she never thought about the possibility of failure.

"Okay! I'm going to have a good time shopping today! Then I'll give Xiaolan a big surprise!"

Saying that, Sonoko pulled Shinichi and quickly walked into the mall, heading straight to the high-end clothing section.

Her brisk steps and high spirits made it completely impossible to tell that this girl had been lying in bed with a high fever just two days ago.

In line with Sonoko's footsteps, this scene reminded Shinichi of his childhood, when this girl played the craziest things and had to drag him around every time.

Of course, it was this girl who fell down from exhaustion first, causing him to have multiple pendants on his back every time he went home.

"Shinichi, come here, how about trying on this dress?"

The first thing the two of them walked into was a men's clothing store.

Yuanzi held a dark blue men's casual T-shirt in his hand and motioned for him to try it on.

This girl has not forgotten that in addition to helping her best friend buy new clothes today, there is another person.

"What's there to try on? You know the size, so just buy a few."

Shinichi refused the request to try on clothes.

Because he knows very well that once he tries one thing, he will continue to do it endlessly, and he will not be able to stop for hours.
