In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

"If that kid had taken off his glasses, he would have looked exactly like Shinichi Kudo when he was a kid! Do you think that's a coincidence?"

"But that doesn't mean—"

Xia Ye wanted to continue acting, but Vermouth interrupted him with a light laugh.

"This makes it even more necessary for us to follow them. With our keen observation skills, we'll definitely be able to spot anything wrong with that kid very quickly."

"Okay then~"

Bayonetta has made her decision.

Xia Ye had no reason to stop her.

As for whether Conan will be exposed, Xia Ye is too lazy to worry about it anymore. If the plot suddenly breaks down, then let's just take it one step at a time.

"That's pretty much it~"

A faint smile appeared on Vermouth's pretty face, but she immediately asked, "You just said you know Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo? And you call Ran so intimately, what's going on?"

"My acquaintance with Xiaolan was just a coincidence," Xia Ye said with a smile. "But later I gave her some karate lessons, and we became good friends."

"Is that so?"

Vermouth's beautiful eyes crinkled with laughter. "Introduce her to me next time!"

"Wait, didn't you say she's a very important person to you?" Xia Ye feigned doubt. "Why doesn't she know you and why do you need me to introduce her?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

"All I need to do is get to know her as a complete stranger!"

"Okay, teacher~"

Xia Ye understood that Sister Bei simply didn't want a girl like Xiao Lan, who seemed like an angel, to know that she was a witch lurking in the shadows, killing countless people.

........

Longye Teppanyaki Restaurant.

This is a high-end store.

Teppanyaki is already a high-end cuisine, and considering the ambiance, this restaurant is bound to be expensive.

"Uncle Maori."

"Are we really going to eat here?"

Having eaten at many high-end restaurants, Conan naturally understands the prices here. He estimates that one meal here would cost Uncle Mori a month's salary for nothing.

"Definitely!"

Kogoro Mouri pulled Conan into the store.

"Didn't we come here specifically to eat at this teppanyaki restaurant today? Otherwise, why would we have come all the way to Chiyoda Ward? Besides, Yukiko paid ten million yen in child support to have you fostered in my house, so how could I not let you eat well!"

Ha ha!

Conan was speechless.

You just wanted to eat something delicious, didn't you?

However, he still obediently followed Kogoro Mouri into the store. Anyway, his mother had already paid, so why not eat it!

Soon after.

Summer Night and Vermouth also walked into the store hand in hand.

Xia Ye looked around.

This restaurant is indeed quite upscale, with an elegant environment and a comfortable atmosphere. Each table is a bar counter, and there is a chef at each table who prepares teppanyaki dishes for the guests on the spot.

Conan and Kogoro Mouri were already seated at a small table, and it seemed they had already ordered their food. The chef in front of them was preparing the teppanyaki grill.

"Shinichi, let's sit here!"

Vermouth's pretty face lit up with a bright smile as she took Xia Ye's hand and led her to sit down at the table next to them.

"Shinichi, what would you like to eat?"

"I can eat anything!"

Xia Ye immediately got into character, looking tenderly into Vermouth's eyes, which were now covered in black contact lenses, and said softly, "Xiao Yao, just choose what you like to eat~"

"Hee hee~"

Vermouth smiled sweetly.

"How about we each choose for the other, and see if we can pick something the other likes to eat?"

"Good~"

Xia Ye affectionately tapped her forehead and opened the menu the chef handed her.

A couple deeply in love!

Conan and Kogoro Mouri felt a pang of sadness.

Every move and word of these two was filled with the saccharine scent of romance, which made them feel somewhat sorry for themselves.

One of them had been separated from his wife for a long time, and now his daughter had gone to live with his wife. The other confessed his feelings but it all ended without a trace. He moved into the house of the person he liked, but the person he liked just ran away!

Now I can only go out to eat with this old man (that brat), and I'm forced to watch couples in love showing off their affection. It's a tragedy!

the other side.

Xia Ye ordered silver cod, foie gras, prawns, and scallops for Vermouth.

Vermouth ordered Kobe beef short ribs, tuna, and some vegetables for Natsume.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen, I will make it for you right away!"

The chef serving the two was young and looked very energetic. His chef's uniform was clean and wrinkle-free, indicating that he was a very serious and meticulous person.

He skillfully handled the fresh ingredients.

Heat the iron plate, cook the ingredients, and soon the aroma of the dish will waft out.

"Shinichi, do you like what I ordered?"

Vermouth rested her chin on her hand, turned her head to look at Xia Ye, her expression charming, her dark eyes full of anticipation.

"I love so much!"

Vermouth's acting skills were superb, and Xia Ye was not to be outdone. His eyes were full of affection as he said, "I was thinking that I would say I like whatever you choose, Xiaoyao, but I didn't expect that you actually chose all the things I like to eat. Is this what they call telepathy?"

"Yes, Shinichi chose one that I like to eat too!"

Vermouth reached out her slender hand and took Xia Ye's large hand in hers, a happy smile spreading across her pretty face.

690 “That’s great!”

These two were all lovey-dovey and exchanging glances, while Kogoro Mouri and Conan over there felt like the steak they were eating tasted like lemon, sour no matter how they ate it.

"Our meal is ready, please enjoy!"

The young chef's voice also sounded a little strange. Although he also had a girlfriend, he couldn't stand being forced to eat dog food like this!

"OK, thanks!"

Xia Ye and Vermouth paused their acting and began to savor the delicious food.

"Not bad~"

Vermouth picked up a piece of silver cod with her chopsticks, took a small bite, and nodded slightly.

As a wealthy woman who could casually give Xia Ye 20 million US dollars as a "kept woman" fee, Vermouth had eaten countless delicacies. She had tried all kinds of Michelin stars, and a "not bad" rating was enough to show that she was very satisfied.

Xia Ye doesn't seem to have any talent for being a gourmet.

His evaluation of food is basically either delicious or not delicious, at most adding "very delicious".

The teppanyaki at this place is really delicious.

However, it's still because of the abundance of meat. The Kobe beef short ribs are grilled over a flame, resulting in a firm texture and perfect taste, making them incredibly satisfying to eat. Moreover, Sister Bei ordered three servings, which shows how well she understands him.

We ate and chatted with Sister Bei.

The atmosphere was originally very harmonious.

However, there are always people who spoil the mood, no matter where you are.

At the large circular bar in the center of the hall, one of the group of diners suddenly stood up, clutching his own neck with both hands, making hoarse noises. A moment later, he collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in a grimace, and fell silent.

This guy, who brazenly ruined the atmosphere with his own life, instantly became the center of attention in the store!

Chapter 78 Xiaolan: Ai is in trouble

Hearing the call of the case.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan immediately abandoned the delicious food, stood up, and ran towards the guest who had fallen to the ground.

Come closer.

Kogoro Mouri crouched down, his hand touching the neck of the fallen customer, and immediately frowned deeply:

"Hopeless!"

Conan forcefully pried open the deceased's mouth, sniffed it gently, and calmly uttered that classic line:

"It tastes like bitter almonds; it's a cyanide-based poison!"

"That's a murder case!"

Kogoro Mouri's expression turned serious. He stood up and gave orders to the shop staff:

"Quickly, guard the entrance and don't let anyone leave this store!"

"Yes!"

Intimidated by Kogoro Mouri's inexplicable aura, the staff obediently did as they were told and ran towards the door.

"Uncle, I've come to call the police!"

Since Ran, the professional emergency caller, wasn't there, Conan jumped up, pulled the phone out of Kogoro Mouri's pocket, and dialed Inspector Megure's number.

"Inspector Megure, a murder has occurred here, in Chiyoda Ward..."

After reporting the incident to the police, Conan and Kogoro Mouri went to investigate, questioning the guests who had sat at the same table as the deceased and gathering clues for the case.

"How to say?"

Vermouth raised her delicate eyebrows, giving Xia Ye a smug look with a half-smile.

What else could Xia Ye say?

The father and son worked together seamlessly and handled the situation appropriately.

They completed the preliminary work of examining the body, determining the case details, sealing off the scene, and quickly calling the police in an instant. Now they have already begun questioning the suspects who sat at the same table.

Don’t say anything else.

This efficiency is indeed commendable.

however--

Kogoro Mouri is one thing, but he was a detective before and is now a detective, so it's not surprising that he would do something like this.

Conan is a little kid.

How can he be so skilled?

What are cyanide poisons? What is the taste of bitter almonds? Is this knowledge that elementary school students can learn?

He ran all over the place looking for clues.

He stroked his chin, carefully analyzing the case.

When examining evidence, wrap it in a handkerchief to prevent your fingerprints from getting on it.

These were all done by professional detectives.

For a child like him to do this, in the eyes of someone like Sister Bei who already had some doubts, wasn't it obvious that he was saying:

I am Shinichi Kudo!

Too embarrassing!
