Chapter 307 Conan, shall we make a bet?
"tsk"

Kitahara Natsuyu glanced at Amuro Tooru's tonkotsu back fat ramen and asked softly, "Amuro, you actually have such strong tastes?"

"A rich tonkotsu broth, plus back fat, aren't you afraid of getting tired of it?"

Some Japanese people do eat very bland food, but others eat very strong flavors, though not in the spicy sense.

It's oil, especially greasy.

Take Amuro Tooru right now, for example. His tonkotsu ramen is loaded with back fat, which is like adding oil on top of oil.

As for back fat, it's just fat.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru smiled and said, "I've been a bit tired lately, so I wanted to eat something nutritious, so I had tonkotsu ramen with back fat."

"Fatigue?" Kitahara Natsuyu paused. "You're working several jobs again?"

He knew very well that Amuro Tooru held multiple positions.

He not only works as a store manager in his own store, but also works part-time for the Japanese police, criminal organizations, and even convenience stores.

However, the criminal organization should not have time to stir up trouble recently.

Because they are conducting an internal review.

Therefore, Amuro Tooru is bored out of his mind during this period and is not busy at all.

But Amuro Tooru said he was a little tired.

I guess the reason I feel tired is because I have no work to do.

All I can say is that Amuro Tooru is destined to be busy; he even feels tired when he has free time.

Of course, this is only Kitahara Natsuhiro's property; who knows, Amuro Tooru might be working part-time after get off work.

After all, the title of "King of Hired Managers" is not just a figure of speech, but a genuine title.

"Working multiple jobs?" Upon hearing this, Conan glanced at Amuro Tooru and couldn't help but wonder, "Could what they said at the store be true?"

He had previously heard people in the store say that Amuro Tooru held multiple positions, not just within the restaurant, but outside.

In other words, Amuro Tooru not only works at the restaurant, but also works part-time jobs, sometimes even several jobs.

After hearing Kitahara Natsuhiro say that, Conan felt that it might be true.

After all, Kitahara Natsuyu said so, and Kitahara Natsuyu is the person who knows Amuro Tooru the most.

However, Conan still found it hard to believe. Could there really be someone that amazing?

He works nearly ten hours a day in the restaurant and then goes to work outside. Is he an iron man? Doesn't he sleep?

“No.” Amuro Tooru shook his head: “I quit my other jobs a long time ago, and now I’m focusing on the restaurant.”

"However, sometimes I still have to deal with some troublesome things at home, which is why I feel a bit tired."

Troublesome things at home?

Kitahara Natsuhiro muttered to himself.

What trouble could the Japanese police possibly have? They can't even protect a list; they're a bunch of useless idiots.

Amuro Tooru is also useless.

In one of theatrical versions, Curaçao, a member of the Black Organization, single-handedly stole the list of undercover agents from a base protected by Amuro Tooru and the Japanese Public Security Bureau, resulting in the tragic killing of a large number of undercover agents who had infiltrated the Black Organization.

Even Amuro Tooru and Mizunashi Rena were almost killed.

Therefore, Kitahara Natsuhiro was absolutely right to say that Amuro Tooru and the Japanese Public Security Bureau were both useless.

While Amuro Tooru and the Japanese Public Security Bureau may have been involved in a sting operation, actually releasing the list of names is a bit too honest!

So, Amuro Tooru and the Japanese Public Security Bureau are both like Brother Ming, they're both selling the real thing.

"About family matters," Kitahara Natsuyu nodded, patting Amuro Tooru on the shoulder. "If you encounter any trouble, you can tell me. I know quite a few people who might be able to help you."

"We're all on the same side, so don't stand on ceremony with me."

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru smiled and nodded: "If needed, I will definitely ask. Boss, please don't find me annoying then."

Should Kitahara Natsuhiro pull some strings for him?
Let's forget about it!

His family affairs are matters within the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and are not something Kitahara Natsuhiro could touch.

Although he knew that Kitahara Natsuhiro knew some members of the Metropolitan Police Department, the members of the Metropolitan Police Department had no jurisdiction over the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and his power was, to some extent, even greater than that of the Metropolitan Police Department.

If he needs to, the Metropolitan Police Department will have to obey his orders.

Besides, given Kitahara Natsuyu's current state, he might get killed by some woman at any time, and then he'd have to 'collect Kitahara Natsuyu's corpse'.

Just kidding.

Given Kitahara Natsuhiro's current condition, he probably won't die. If he does die, it will be a very gruesome death, and he probably won't even leave behind a corpse.

After all, when a woman gets angry, there's really nothing a man can do.

“How could that be?” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “Alright, let’s eat the noodles first, otherwise they’ll get soggy.”

"it is good."

At this moment, Conan's ramen also arrived. His ramen was ordinary tonkotsu ramen, but without any back fat added.

Although Conan didn't add back fat, he did add a little bit of chili pepper.

Conan ate at the restaurant for a long time, so he became able to eat some spicy food, but it still wasn't enough.

As for Kitahara Natsuyu, it's just a regular tonkotsu ramen, but it has a lot of chili added, and the noodles and char siu are served in large portions, plus a soft-boiled egg.

"Let's get started."

The three of them looked at the steaming ramen in front of them, shouted in unison, and then started eating.

Slurp~~~
Soon, the only sounds in the ramen shop were the sounds of people slurping noodles.

In Japan, you have to make noise when you eat delicious food, that's how you should enjoy it, especially ramen, so you have to slurp the noodles and make noise.

At the same time, Amuro Tooru and Conan nodded, giving the ramen a high rating and saying, "Oh, I think so."

As for Kitahara Natsuyu, he thought it was alright, but not the kind of delicious that's amazing. It was above average, but it wasn't as good as the ramen he made. Even Amuro Tooru's ramen was better.

Therefore, this ramen shop cannot be called a ramen master.

"This tastes really good." Conan nodded. "Looks like we came to the right place this time."

"It's actually not bad," Amuro said. "In my opinion, this ramen is above average."

Amuro Tooru's standards are somewhat similar to Kitahara Natsuhiro's standards; they are quite strict.

As for Conan, that brat, he doesn't understand anything, all he does is eat, and he can't produce anything else.

All they know is whether it tastes good or bad.

"Above the passing grade?" Upon hearing this, Conan's lips twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself, "No wonder he's the head chef at the restaurant. He's strict. This kind of ramen can only be rated as above the passing grade."

He thought this place was going to be known as the Ramen Master's shop.

“I think so too,” Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru turned around and the two smiled at each other.

Great minds think alike.

Meanwhile, the ramen shop staff, busy at the counter, didn't hear Kitahara Natsumi and Amuro Tooru's comments. If they had, they probably would have kicked them out.

It's a well-known, long-established restaurant, how can it let young people like this give it a review, especially one that's above average? It's an insult to them!

Unfortunately, they didn't hear it.

Otherwise, he might get angry and kill Kitahara Natsumi and Amuro Tooru.

If someone is willing to kill an employee just because they quit, then it's not impossible for them to kill someone in a fit of rage after giving a bad review of their ramen shop.

However, with Kitahara Natsuhiro here today, he directly suppressed Conan's death aura, not giving him any chance.

so.
Kitahara Natsuhiro, Amuro Tooru, and Conan walked out of the ramen shop safely and without any incident.

After leaving the house, Conan looked up at the two of them and said confidently, "See? The case has nothing to do with me!"

He's a very vengeful person; he hasn't forgotten what Kitahara Natsumi said to Amuro Tooru when they went into the ramen shop to eat.

So after leaving the house, Conan couldn't help but start proving himself by stabbing Kitahara Natsuhiro and Amuro Tooru once, finally getting his revenge.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru and Kitahara Natsuhiro exchanged a glance and laughed.

"The reason no case happened in the ramen shop is because I was there to protect you. If you had gone out on your own, you would definitely have encountered a case." Kitahara Natsuyu squatted down, patted Conan's head, and said earnestly.

Conan truly has no idea of ​​his own power.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Conan immediately retorted.

“In that case, let’s split up and go shopping, and see if you encounter any cases. What do you think?” Kitahara Natsuyu raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Conan paused, his eyes darting around, before finally nodding and saying, "Alright, then let's split up and go shopping."

“Alright,” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “If I win, then you’ll owe me a favor.”

"If I lose, then I'll owe you a favor."

"How's that, Conan!"

He knew very well that he would never lose.

After all, Conan is the Grim Reaper; it's impossible for him to wander around Hokkaido alone without encountering cases.

"Okay, that's settled!" Conan nodded vigorously.

Kitahara Natsuhiro's favor seems quite good.

If he gets into trouble later, this favor can be used to offset it and also prevent him from telling his mother.

Right now, the two people Conan fears most are Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yukiko; he's not afraid of anyone else at all.

Especially his own father, Yusaku Kudo.

After all, because of his infidelity, Yusaku Kudo had no face to see his son Conan.

Therefore, the two could only communicate by phone, and even then, they communicated very little.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku's lover was pregnant, so naturally he had to take care of her.

"Mr. Amuro, would you like to join in?" Conan turned to look at Amuro Tooru: "Are you betting on me, or on Kitahara-sensei?"

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru glanced at Conan, then at Kitahara Natsuhiro, and walked to Kitahara Natsuhiro's side without hesitation: "Of course I'm on Kitahara's side."

According to the investigation by the Japanese Public Security Bureau, Conan has a higher chance of encountering cases than Kogoro Mouri, especially considering he was previously Shinichi Kudo.

Therefore, Shinichi Kudo is destined to lose.

After Shinichi Kudo leaves this place, he will definitely encounter a case.

"You two..." Conan looked at the two standing together, his lips twitching, feeling utterly humiliated.

He never imagined that he, high school detective Shinichi Kudo, would be disliked like this.

good good!
Since you're all betting on me to lose, then I'm going to prove you wrong and win.

This would prove that I am not the Grim Reaper, but that I was just unlucky and encountered those cases.

As for losing?
No, that's not true. Conan is very confident in himself.

Although Conan is very confident in himself, he has absolutely no idea what his physical constitution is like!

“Amuro, this is a wise choice.” Kitahara Natsuyu laughed heartily. “So, we’ll part ways here now.”

"See you again tonight. I hope you can give us some good news."

After saying that, Amuro Tooru and Kitahara Natsuyu left the place arm in arm.

Now it's time for men.

As for Conan, let him wander around on his own!

This is Hokkaido, there's no danger here. Even if there is danger, it's the people of Hokkaido, not Conan.

Therefore, Amuro Tooru and Kitahara Natsuhiro were very relieved that Conan would definitely not encounter any accidents.

"Hmph!" Conan snorted coldly as he watched Kitahara Natsumi and Amuro Tooru's retreating figures. "Just watch! This time, I will definitely win and clear my name!"

After watching Kitahara Natsuyu and Amuro Tooru disappear, he also left, intending to wander around before returning to the hotel and finally soaking in the hot springs.

Moreover, he planned to play a little longer and tire himself out.

Soaking in a hot spring after a long day is very relaxing, and Conan loves that feeling.

Because he often soaks in hot springs.

But not long after
Conan gets caught up in a case.

This time, he had no one to provide voiceovers, so he could only slowly give clues to the Hokkaido police so they could solve the case.

In the afternoon, half past five.

By this time, the group that had been wandering outside had returned to the hotel and gathered in the lobby.

The women, upon returning, gathered together, chatting animatedly about what they had bought that day.

"Xia Yu, where's Conan?"

At that moment, Yukiko suddenly realized that her son Conan had not returned yet, and couldn't help but ask him.

She remembered that Conan had gone out with Kitahara Natsuhiro. Could it be that the child had gotten lost?

“Conan?” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “He’s already on his way. He just contacted me.”

The voice fell
Conan walked in from outside.

"You're back." Kitahara Natsuhiro pointed to Conan not far away and said, "Conan."

Hearing the sound, Conan looked up and saw everyone. He called out, and then...
"I lost, I owe you a favor!"

Conan is quite frank; he has no choice but to be frank, as Kitahara Natsuhiro isn't someone you can easily fool.

Besides, he's just a child. What use is a child's favor?

Could it be because of his mother?
“Okay.” Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled.

"Admit defeat? Show a favor?" Yukiko looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

“This is a secret between men.” Kitahara Natsuhiko blinked.
