"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Okiya Subaru looked apologetic, reached out and dragged the coffee cup in front of Jiang Xia to him: "This cup is mixed with water, give it to me."

Mao Lilan was startled, seeing that Jiang Xia ran out of drinks, he hesitated to push his coffee over.

At this time, Conan also stumbled and "unfortunately" hit the cup of coffee to the ground-although Conan didn't quite know what happened, but he understood Okiya Subaru's reaction and realized that this mysterious graduate student, Seems to think there is something wrong with that cup of coffee.

Two cups of coffee instantly moved away from the high school students.

Katsumura Eiji, who tried to drive away the students who were afraid of hardship with bitter coffee: "..."

Is Mercury retrograde today?

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he glanced at the coffee box behind the bar: Just now, in order to make the coffee as unpalatable as possible, he poured all the coffee powder left in the box into it.

Although the store should still have it in stock. But the proprietress was a sloppy person, and things were piled up in a mess, and Katsumura Eishi couldn't find where to put other coffee powder for a while.

Okiya Subaru prayed for Shuichi Akai to come to save people quickly, while he picked up the coffee from Jiang Xia, pretending to smell the aroma of the coffee, but in fact he sniffed the smell secretly.

""Um? There is no bitter almond taste. Could it be that Uzo did not intend to have people assassinated?

... However, it cannot be ruled out that the store manager has given other poisons.

After all, Okiya Subaru has been to this shop before, and he has ordered coffee during this time.

And he remembered that the coffee he drank before was obviously different from the one he had this time - the acting store manager must have done something in it.

beside.

Jiang Xia glanced at Subaru Okiya suspiciously, and always felt that he just sprinkled water on purposeI don't know what big scene this little brother who likes to wander off has made up his mind... Could it be that Subaru Okiya intuitively felt the store manager "Not a good person, so he started his persecution delusion?

The coffee was not finished.

Jiang Xia opened the menu, thinking about ordering something else or another cup of coffee.

However, Okiya Subaru seemed determined not to let him order, and he took the initiative to chat: "Our research office is going to do a topic about detectives recently - a rare encounter, why don't you tell me about your usual experience in solving cases? ?"

I heard that detectives love to talk about this. Not only can I organize the idea of solving the case, but also can review the glorious history and enjoy the praise of others, which is a lot of face. And Subaru Okiya thought to himself: Jiang Xia has solved so many cases, chatting for a while is enough to last until the acting store manager reveals his fault.

"My experience in solving cases?" Jiang Xia really didn't continue to order.

He looked up from the menu and looked at Subaru Okiya thoughtfully: "What do you want to hear?"

Conan also looked at Subaru Okiya secretly, and felt that the problem was very big: what is an engineering graduate student doing as a research detective?

That new topic couldn't possibly be something like "how to build a burial ground with less effort".

Conan: "..." Speaking of which, engineering is not all civil engineering. Okiya Subaru was so white that he didn't bask in the sun much at first glance, and it didn't seem like he was developing into this industry.

If it were Conan himself, he might start asking questions at this time.

Unfortunately, what Okiya Subaru asked was Jiang Xia.

"..." Conan glanced at Jiang Xia and realized that this neighbor is always good to acquaintances. At this time, he must have also discovered the abnormality of Subaru Okiya, but I am afraid he will not pierce him - sigh, it is too considerate. it is good. Mainly it's very unfriendly to the curiosity of bystanders...

The two really talked about past cases.

Conan listened to each other, and while listening, relying on his identity as a "bear child", he dragged the coffee in front of Subaru Okiya to himself, and lowered his head to study.

- No bitter almond smell or some other overt poisonous smell.

However, this cup of coffee tastes too heavy, and I don't know how much coffee powder was thrown in. Even if Subaru Okiya sprinkled water just now, the taste is still strong, not to mention the almost pure black colorthese features are enough to cover up the possibility of adding something in it.

Conan: "..." Is there something wrong with the coffee brought by the store manager?

How did Subaru Okiya know?

Conan retracted his gaze from looking at the coffee, and under the nervous gaze of the "store manager", he began to turn his eyes and looked at the hidden corners of the store.

Okiya Subaru actually wanted to find an excuse to take the high school students out of this dangerous shop.

But in the end, he still didn't move.

...It's not because Uzo asked him to come to this store, and now Uzo didn't let him go, he didn't dare to move.

I just calmed down and thought about it rationally"Wu Zuo wants to assassinate Jiang Xia and shock his younger brother" is actually just a speculation, one of countless possibilities.

And for Uzuo, it seems that Jiang Xia, the "unveiler" who can cooperate for a long time, is more important than "Okiya Subaru", a younger brother who is only for entertainment. Wu Zuo should not kill Jiang Xia because "his little brother hugged Jiang Xia's thigh". Even if he really minds, I am afraid that what Wu Zuo wants to kill is the innocent little brother.

Okiya Subaru: "..." In this case, if you rush to run. Maybe it was nothing to do, but a run will go straight to the underworld.

...Also, let's not act rashly.

Take as much time as possible first. Wait to see if Akai Shuichi will come, or if Uzo has any further instructions. Plan later.

was thinking in a cold sweat when the wind chimes at the door jingled.

This cafe, which was originally crowded, turned out to have another customer.

This time, two middle-aged people came in.

Both of them were wearing suits, like social animals of a nearby company. One of them even brought a drawing, looking like he was busy working.

"I'm Ohara Yu who made an appointment yesterday."

The older man nodded to the "store manager". He seemed to prefer a bright position. After speaking, he led his companions to the table closest to the floor-to-ceiling windows and sat down.

Eiji Katsumura, who is strong to welcome guests: "..." Why did things become like this...

Fortunately, the two new customers did not care about the situation in the store.

They were concentrating on their own business.

Aida Toru leaned against the back of the chair and yawned: "I heard that yesterday, the company received a new order?"

"Well, it's a flyer design, and it's urgent." Ohara Yu sighed, "The client said that he would go to the shopping street for distribution soon, and it must be produced within two days."

"Flyer?" Toru Aida let out a sneer, "I accept such unreliable orders, and you have to design them yourself, you are the worst president I have ever seen-but, when I officially resign , you are about to officially become a bare commander, so it would be good to get used to it in advance."

Across the two tables, Okiya Subaru was startled and silently pricked up his ears.

Resign?

...is that the resignation he thought? !
