Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Although Eri Kisaki has divorced Kogoro Mouri, she may still be involved in new cases.

He certainly didn't want his woman to suffer an undeserved misfortune.

Of course, with the [Great Prophecy] at work, the probability of such an event happening is approximately zero.

Since they had nothing better to do, they simply handed over Sawaki Kohei's matter to Conan and Hattori Heiji.

"That's all for now! I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"

After giving his explanation, Luo Tian waved and left the detective agency.

Conan and Heiji Hattori were left looking at each other, filled with doubt.

How did Luo Tian know about this?! (Grave)

Chapter 403 Hitomi Kisugi's Boyfriend Has Arrived! (Second Update)

Inside the Cat's Eye Cafe in Inunaki Town.

As always, Rui and Hitomi Kisugi got up early to prepare for the start of business.

As for the youngest sister, Ai, she slept until the sun was high in the sky before coming downstairs, still half asleep.

Despite being dazed, her movements were remarkably agile, without any signs of stumbling.

She doesn't look like she's still half asleep at all.

Cat-eye training has become an integral part of their daily lives.

Seeing their little sister's adorable appearance, both older sisters smiled slightly.

They had just seen off a customer, and the coffee shop was temporarily quiet. They pulled Ai Kiyoshi to sit at the counter.

Hitomi Laisheng was in charge of tidying up her messy curly hair.

Lai Sheng Lei then gracefully and quickly prepared a breakfast.

Of course, you can also call it lunch.

"Xiao Ai, did you have another dream last night?"

Gently stroking the comb, Hitomi Kisugi recalled a slight noise she heard while passing by her younger sister's room last night when she went to the bathroom.

"Really? I don't quite remember."

Lai Sheng tilted her head, a hint of confusion appearing on her chubby little face.

She only remembered sleeping soundly last night and seemed to dream of something very comforting.

"It's probably related to Xiao Luo."

She couldn't remember the details clearly, but her intuition told her that she must have dreamed of Luo Tian.

"Xiao Luo..."

Hitomi Laisheng paused slightly in the hand holding the comb.

Unlike the naive younger sister, she made a mistake towards Luo Tian while on vacation at the beach.

So much so that in the days since she returned home, she has dreamt of that scene every night.

I even sometimes fantasize about joining the squad game I've been secretly watching.

As a result, every day after getting out of bed, she had to take a shower before she dared to meet her two sisters.

Okay, let's eat breakfast first.

Lai Shengrui placed a plate on the counter, her voice very gentle.

This is a very classic Western breakfast: a sandwich, a fried egg, a sausage, and a glass of warm milk.

It's also on the cafe's menu.

"Thank you, sis!"

With a bright smile, Lai Sheng Ai happily ate her breakfast.

As the youngest in the family, she was always taken care of by her two older sisters.

Whether it's housework, preparing three meals a day, or even working at the coffee shop, she doesn't need to help much.

Besides, she is still a high school student and has her own academic tasks.

At night, he also operates as the Cat's Eye Thief, and in his spare time, he develops various gadgets to facilitate Cat's Eye's operations.

It's already quite an achievement not to doze off during the day at school!

Even during summer vacation, Hitomi and Rui Kisugi didn't want their little sister to do too much.

Seeing how adorable Lai Sheng Ai was, enjoying her meal, both older sisters smiled happily.

Have you been a little too busy lately?

Rubbing his shoulders, Lai Sheng Lei muttered something under his breath.

During the summer vacation, their cafes naturally see a greater flow of customers than at other times.

When you get busy, it's normal to be so busy that your feet barely touch the ground.

It just so happened that it rained today, which reduced the number of customers.

As the police became more familiar with the Cat's Eye Thief's modus operandi, their nighttime operations became more complicated.

Sometimes there's not even enough time to rest!

"Big sister, your sore shoulders aren't from being tired!"

Seeing his eldest sister's actions, Hitomi Kisugi couldn't help but complain.

With such a large pet bear as a burden, how could one's shoulders not ache?!

"Sister Tong, what did you say?"

Just as he gulped down a glass of milk, Lai Sheng Ai looked over curiously.

"It's nothing, your little Tong sister is just a bit envious."

Lai Sheng Lei smiled faintly and, intentionally or unintentionally, straightened her chest.

The pair of trembling pet bears also jumped slightly.

"...Big sister, you've gone too far!"

Hitomi Lai pursed her lips, genuinely a little envious.

Her pet bear is already considered one of the best among her peers.

But when placed next to her older sister, she still looks a bit lacking.

……

"Hitomi! You're back from Izu!"

Just as the three sisters were playing around, an uninvited guest arrived at Cat's Eye Cafe.

He was a man wearing a shirt who looked somewhat unkempt.

Toshio Utsumi, like Ginzo Nakamori, is a member of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigative Division.

However, he is currently just a minor patrol officer, sitting at the same table as Takagi Chiba from the First Investigation Division.

Because he was often on the front lines, this bachelor was naturally somewhat unkempt.

And surprisingly, he's quite narcissistic!

Cat's Eye Cafe is located opposite the Inunaki Police Station, and many police officers come here to sit during their free time.

Although the three cat sisters, whose identities were not suspected of being the Cat Eyes, still attracted a lot of attention due to their exceptionally outstanding appearance and temperament.

Toshio Utsumi is someone who is obsessed with Hitomi Kisugi.

"Xiaotong, it's been a long time! Many of my colleagues have been missing the food here while the coffee shop has been closed these past few days!"

He sat down at the counter, ordered a coffee, and happily struck up a conversation.

They made no attempt to hide their love!

"I rushed over here as soon as I finished my shift today!"

"Your coffee."

Hitomi Kisugi completely ignored Toshio Utsumi's attentiveness.

After bringing the coffee over, I went to clean the seats where the customers had just left.

Utsumi Toshio wasn't annoyed. He just drank his coffee and watched Kisugi Hitomi's busy figure.

I was thinking about when I should confess my feelings.

"Officer Utsumi, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"

A few seats away, Kisugi Ai, who was also sitting at the counter, had a somewhat subtle expression.

She could vaguely smell a sour odor.

It's likely that the odor originated from Toshio Utsumi.

Considering what he said earlier about just finishing his shift, it's likely he hasn't showered for two days.

With the temperature at this time of year, it's probably going to attract flies!

"Haha! My job is to protect everyone's safety, this is nothing!"

Toshio Utsumi didn't catch the sarcasm in Isamu's words.

He thought they were praising him!

"That's really impressive..."

Pinching her little nose, Lai Sheng Ai rolled her eyes and ran upstairs helplessly.

Watching her younger sister's graceful movements, Lai Shengrui couldn't help but feel a little envious.

She couldn't just leave the guests behind like her two younger sisters.

For a moment, she even regretted opening the coffee shop across from the police station.

It's convenient to gather intelligence, but it's inconvenient in other aspects!

"Officer Uchimi, is work at the police station this easy? It's not even noon yet, and you already have time for coffee?"

Having no other option, she could only subtly remind the other person that it was time to go to work.

However, given Toshio Utsumi's intelligence, he was incapable of understanding this veiled meaning.

Not only that, he also revealed the latest news he had just obtained from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"We'll probably have a lot more free time from now on!"

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Tears of the Next Life" is a casual question posed without any emotion.

"Because of Cat's Eye! They succeeded again last time, so the Metropolitan Police Department has decided to assign the task of hunting down the Cat's Eye Phantom Thieves to another team!"

Toshio Utsumi explained in a very straightforward manner.

His words were so detailed that anyone who didn't know better would think he was an undercover agent planted in the Metropolitan Police Department by the three sisters of the cat family!

In reality, he is just that kind of person who acts rashly and impulsively, and speaks without thinking.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have made Hitomi so angry last time that she went to drift at sea alone to clear her head.

"Oh, I see. Should I congratulate you then?"

Upon hearing this news, a glint of light flashed in Lai Sheng Lei's beautiful eyes.

She opened her café here because she knew that the Inunaki Police Station's task force was responsible for capturing the Cat's Eye Phantom Thief!

Now that it's been handed over to another group, does that mean we can no longer obtain intelligence from here?!

"Congratulations wouldn't be appropriate..."

Toshio Utsumi's expression suddenly became awkward.

He turned around and looked at Hitomi Kisugi, who had just tidied up the tables and chairs, and spoke like an innocent young boy.

"Xiaotong, I happen to have a day off in a few days, could you..."
