It's a very elegant café with quaint décor and soft lighting, and a sense of home comes to you when you sit nearby. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment, there are no customers in the café, only soft music is playing.

A young man in his twenties sits at the bar, sipping steaming coffee while flipping through a science and technology magazine.

Standing at the door, peeking in through the glass door, Kudo's gaze fell on the only person in the café at the first time, and he couldn't help but ask Sasaki, who was standing beside him, "Is he the owner?"

But Kudo didn't hear the other party's answer for the first time.

He frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Sasaki, only to see the latter looking at the inside of the café with a pair of blank eyes, as if he had seen something incredible.

Kudo called a few times before he summoned Sasaki's soul back.

"Hold, sorry, I'm a little surprised......"

"Surprised?"

"Because it's rare, this café is crowded every day, and it's rare to see it as deserted as it is today. ”

"It's a working day, and it's work time in the afternoon. ”

"No, it used to be very lively even on weekdays, after all, the staff in this store are all handsome men and women, which makes people feel happy, but now it is in a completely different state than usual, which is ......"

"Then it might be because—"

Kudo silently raised his hand to a small blackboard outside the café, motioning for Sasaki to focus his attention on it.

Sasaki subconsciously looked sideways, and the next second he took in the bright words on the blackboard.

"Temporarily closed".

Here's what it's up with.

So Sasaki's eyes instinctively widened uncontrollably.

"Suspended, how can it be...... I was still ...... when I came in the morning."

"I thought you saw it and that's why you stopped. Kudo's words were a little helpless.

"I'm sorry I'm too focused on the coldness inside...... So I overlooked such an important place...... Sasaki's expression was embarrassed, "And I didn't expect this coffee shop to be closed, and the owner is still sitting inside......"

"He's really the owner, he's really young......" Kudo turned his gaze to the young man at the bar again, "but let's leave it for the time being, why he's taking leave from the café and other inconsequential things, let's go in and talk about ......"

Kudo put his hand on the handle and pushed the door inward.

The door opened slowly, silently, but when it opened, the noise of the street swarmed into this silent world, the young man raised his eyebrows, his brows tightened instantly, and he shook off the magazine and stood up: "приостановить-бизнес!убирайся!"

Shinichi Kudo: "......"

Not only him, but also Sasaki, Ogawa and Okawa behind him all looked at him with a confused face.

What did this man just say? Is it Russian? Why did he suddenly speak Russian?

The young man also seemed to be aware of his reflex blurting out, his face darkened, and he changed to Japanese at the speed of light: "The shop is closed today, don't you see the words written on the blackboard outside......? Gone!"

"Sorry to interrupt. Kudo let go of his grip on the doorknob, he was already standing on the ground of the café at this time, his gaze meeting the gaze of the young man, "We want to inquire about something, and it won't delay you too much." ”

"Uncle Ben is not interested in wasting time on you. ”

......The corners of Kudo's mouth twitched fiercely, the arrogance of the young man was completely incompatible with the style of this café, he originally thought that the person who opened this kind of café should be a person with a gentle temperament, no matter how he said it, he would not be like a young man......

Kudo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Sasaki hurriedly stepped into the café at this time, and rushed straight to the bar, and quickly grabbed the young man's left hand with both hands, with a sincere expression: "Please, Mr. Makino, it's really a very important thing, I hope to get your help......"

The young man didn't say a word and untied Sasaki's hand first, and after pulling away the appropriate distance, he said with a smile on his face: "Where, where, it's my honor to serve you, I like to serve beautiful women the most, don't worry, please sit down and let's talk slowly, there is time for us to toss and enjoy." ”

Sasaki suddenly looked grateful, and sat directly on the swivel chair near the bar: "Thank you." ”

The young man known as Mr. Makino cleaned up the table and quickly helped Sasaki make a cup of coffee: "You're welcome, may I ask Miss Sasaki what she wants to ask, I must know everything and say everything." ”

"No, it's not my question...... Sasaki looked at Makino cautiously, "it's that gentleman who asked...... A young gentleman who looks like a high school student asks questions...... His name is Edo Kawaichi, and he's a detective......"

"Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Edogawa, I'm really sorry, I just offended you. Makino ran over and shook Kudo's hand warmly, and then led him directly to Sasaki and sat down, not knowing where he brought out a glass of juice and handed it to him, "Here, this is an apology, please enjoy." ”

Shinichi Kudo: "......"

He opened his eyes and looked at Makino, who had perfectly completed the transformation from rudeness to politeness in a short period of time, and felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed.

Sasaki next to him secretly gave him a look, and the content of his eyes was probably urging him to hurry up.

Kudo nodded, threw away the thoughts in his mind, and looked at the inside of the bar.

"Are those two detectives your friends, Miss Sasaki, do you need me to invite them to taste coffee and get rid of the anger in your heart?" But it was Makino who suddenly spoke, stretching out his hand and pointing at Okawa Ogawa.

They were like door gods on the other side of the door, and they didn't come in, but just fixed their eyes on the place, and their ears were erect, obviously watching.

"Leave them alone, it's better if they don't come in. Sasaki shook his head.

"Miss Sasaki hates them?" a smile appeared on Makino's face, "Do you need my help to teach you a lesson?"

Kudo, who heard this, squeezed the handle of the coffee cup and glanced at Makino with a little meaning.

"No, assaulting a police officer is a big crime. Sasaki, who heard Makino's words, shook his head on the side.

"I don't hesitate to go to the soup for the sake of beautiful women. Makino grinned, but his wandering eyes settled down and fell on Kudo, "So what do you want to ask, Mr. Edogawa? ”

Kudo's grip on the handle of the coffee cup let go, and he looked at Makino, "I want to ask you about Miss Sasaki's brother." ”

Makino was stunned.

He spent ten seconds consuming the contents of the finished Fuji words, looking at Sasaki, looking at the criminal police outside the door, and finally his eyes circled around and fell on Kudo, as if he understood something.

Makino sat back in a chair inside the bar and took out a kvass drink, pouring it into a glass before speaking, "Mr. Sasaki......?

Makino gave some information that he knew.

Even though the news sounded useless, Kudo patiently distanced himself from the side, and only after the topic was almost asked did he shift his focus again.

"So is there a customer in black at the nearest café?"

Makino picked up the glass and took a sip of kvass: "Yes, there is indeed such a character. She came to the café once, and to be honest, it was really a big convex beauty, which impressed me very much, but her temperament was too dark and not my cup of tea at all. ”

"Anything else?"

"Yes, for example, she uses a XX eyeshadow brush, applies XX lipstick, and sprays XX perfume on her body......"

“...... Stop, that's enough. Is there anything else?" Why can a big man tell what brand of makeup a woman has so easily?

"And ah......" Makino took another sip of kvass, "she's American." ”

Kudo was stunned: "Americans?"

"Yes, she looks Japanese, but she must have grown up in the United States, and you can tell from her words and actions. Makino replied, "And most likely, government workers." ”

"......" Kudo's expression was even more shocked, "Why do you think so?"

"Because the temperament of the average American is not so dark. ”

...... "Well, he's not on the same line as Makino's brain circuit. Kudo decided to change the subject, "Did she communicate with Mr. Sasaki?"
