Chapter 139
After sending the mature cool kid Haibara Ai to Professor Agasa's house, Edogawa Conan and Hoshimi Mei walked slowly towards the direction of Mori's office.
The cafe downstairs from Maori Office has launched a particularly delicious cake, but it is still in the final stages of research and development, so someone is needed to taste it and give some suggestions for improvements.
Conan Edogawa imitated the expectant look of Ran Mouri, his round and clean blue eyes were filled with tiny starlight. Mei Hoshimi could imagine the expressions of Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki through him.
"Then why don't you call those kids?" Xing Hai Ya asked, "The ones who always run around with you."
"What do you mean running around... You obviously know everything." Edogawa Conan had an awkward expression on his face. He remembered the photos taken when he was pretending to be stupid in front of Hoshimi Mei. If he ever became Kudo Shinichi again in the future, those would be his dark history.
The other party's behavior clearly showed that he had guessed his identity. Edogawa Conan was waiting for Xing Haimei to ask him, but unfortunately, this person did not seem to want to confess to him at all.
And sometimes, Xing Haimei seemed to be unaware that he was Kudo Shinichi. Her every move was as if she was treating an ordinary child. This made him dare not point it out rashly, and he could only keep it to himself and not ask.
Like Xiaolan, he didn't want to involve Xinghai Mei in this matter because it was too dangerous.
The previous conversation with Haibara Ai gave him a deeper understanding of the organization, but correspondingly, he also realized how dangerous it would be to stand against the organization.
The fewer people who know that Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi are the same person, the better.
This will reduce the possibility of your identity being exposed.
as well as.
Edogawa Conan glanced at Hoshimi Mei out of the corner of his eye. The other party didn't care about the other meaning implied in his words. His expression was as calm as ever, but his eyes were not focused, and it was obvious that he was distracted.
He did not forget Xing Hai Mei or the unexplained long coma he had once suffered. When talking to Haibara Ai, he also asked whether the organization's laboratory had similar drugs, and the answer he got was yes.
Although it was just a guess, the probability that Xing Hai Ya or the "guardian" he had never met was related to the organization was not small. This was one of the main reasons why he did not want to involve Xing Hai Ya in this matter.
At least he would not break the subtle tacit understanding between them until the matter was clarified.
The two of them each had their own thoughts and didn't talk any more until they arrived downstairs at the Maori Office. Maori Ran, who was waiting for them outside the store, waved at them and took Xing Hai Meihu into the Poirot Café.
Actually, I haven't been to Poro for a while. The last time I came was when I had dessert here with Suzuki Sonoko.
The store was filled with the aroma of coffee. The warm decoration and green plants placed in the store made people feel relaxed. Xinghai Mei followed Mao Lilan to sit next to the bar and put down the bag in her hand.
"Welcome, is this the friend Xiaolan mentioned?" The waiter enthusiastically brought water and handed the menu to Xinghai Yahu with his other hand.
"Yes, his name is Xing Hai Mei, and he's the perfect candidate for me to bring over to try out new products." Mao Lilan sat down with a smile. In front of her was a beautifully shaped little cake with plump cherries inlaid on the cream, which looked very appetizing.
"Yes, yes, because Yahu is very picky." Suzuki Sonoko, who had quickly finished the cake on the other side, smiled and said with a hint of teasing in the smile on her face.
"I don't have any." Hearing this, Xing Haiya retorted without even thinking. Without taking his eyes off the menu, he pointed to a name he had never seen before and said, "I want one of these."
"Okay." The waiter took away the menu, took out a cake from the small refrigerator where the cakes were temporarily stored and placed it in front of him, and then began to prepare Xinghai Yahu's order on the counter.
"Thank you." Xing Haiya remembered that the purpose of coming here was to be a dessert taster. He picked up the fork, cut a small piece and tentatively put it into his mouth.
The cake base is soft and the cream is sweet but not greasy. Although it is much worse than Scottish cake, it is delicious overall.
"Is it delicious?" Mao Lilan asked with a smile. After seeing Mei Hoshimi nod reluctantly, she said to the busy clerk, "Mr. Amuro is really amazing. He conquered Mei's picky tongue."
After he finished speaking, before Toru Amuro could say anything, Mao Lilan heard a crisp sound. She was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xing Hai Mei who was still eating cake.
The boy put down the fork in his hand and locked his eyes on the blond man who was preparing the meal. After confirming that the other person was really the one he thought, Xing Hai Mei pushed the plate back.
He said that he had to be transferred back due to some urgent matters, resulting in all the tasks that were originally supposed to be done by Bourbon now being given to Ricardo. It turns out that this guy just came back to make cakes?
The young man looked at the busy coffee shop clerk in surprise and no longer had the intention of touching the cake.
