Chapter 292 Go, Pikachu!
"Ah-chuh-ah-chuh-ah-chuh-"
Early in the morning, Conan sneezed three times in a row.
"Conan, the weather has turned cold recently, so wear more clothes."
While speaking worriedly, Mao Lilan walked to the closet next to her and found a slightly thicker coat for Conan.
Conan rubbed his nose and said, "Thank you, Xiaolan."
It's strange. I didn't catch a cold, but why do I always feel like someone is thinking about me?
"Conan, Xiaolan, are you there?"
Thinking about Conan, Shirakawa Akane knocked lightly on the door.
"Coming."
Mao Lilan walked over and was a little surprised when she saw Shirakawa Qiu: "Mr. Shirakawa, good morning."
"Good morning, Xiaolan. The breakfast ordered by Mr. Maori has been delivered. Please check it~"
"Ah, thanks."
Ran Maori didn't quite remember that Kogoro Maori ordered breakfast at Poirot Café, but out of politeness and trust in Shirakawa Akira, she took the initiative to reach out and take the tray from Shirakawa Akira's hand.
"Eh? Shirakawa-kun."
Maori Kogoro also came out with a toothbrush in his mouth. Seeing the tray in Shirakawa Qiu's hand, he scratched his head in confusion: "Huh? Did I order food yesterday?"
How come he has no impression...
Baichuan Qiu lied with a smile: "It was last night, didn't Mr. Maori say it was the same as usual?"
Maori Kogoro: "Eh? Okay, that seems to be the case--"
Mao Lilan helplessly put her hands on her hips and said, "Dad, didn't you drink too much again yesterday?"
"Um, then, that should be——"
Maori Kogoro himself was also lacking in confidence. After Maori Ran said this, he forgot whether he had made an order or not, and took the initiative to thank Shirakawa Akane: "Thank you, Shirakawa-kun."
"You're welcome." Baichuanqiu said with a smile, then turned his head to look at Conan, "Conan, do you have any plans for the upcoming vacation?"
Conan:?
He looked at Baichuanqiu with a confused look on his face.
Huh? Him?
What arrangements could he make...
Just by looking at Conan's expression, Shirakawa Qiu got the answer he wanted, then he smiled and said in a slightly raised tone: "Ah - okay, I understand."
Can help Conan fill up his schedule.
Conan:?
"Xiao Lan, have you heard? There's a new shopping mall opening in Beihu, and everything there is 50% off."
"Huh?" The frugal Mao Lilan was instantly attracted by Shirakawa Qiu's words and her tone became excited. "Where is it roughly? How long will the event last?"
"It's at XXX on Beihu Street and the event time is..."
Shirakawa Akane explained the situation of the mall to Mao Li Ran in detail, and Mao Li Ran's eyes lit up slightly.
"Dad, speaking of which, some of the daily necessities at home have been almost used up. It's time to go to the mall to buy some more."
She looked at Maori Kogoro, who nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go check it out later."
Don't take advantage of it, you bastard.
The money saved can be used to bet on horses again, hehe——
However, Maori Kogoro's joy didn't last long. Shirakawa Qiu took out another flyer and said, "Speaking of which, this bank is having a savings promotion recently. Didn't Xiaolan say before that she wanted to apply for a separate card to store her family savings? I think you should check it out."
Mao Lilan took a look and found that it was indeed good: "Thank you, Mr. Shirakawa! I will study it carefully later."
Kogoro Mouri's expression immediately fell.
Okay, he's out of wine money.
Shirakawa Qiu withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and then met Conan's strange gaze.
Mr. Shirakawa today... seems a bit too enthusiastic.
Conan held his chin and looked at Shirakawa Qiu thoughtfully.
This feeling is a bit familiar——
"Conan——"
Before Conan could recall where this scene had appeared before, Shirakawa Qiu called him.
"This is a coupon for a restaurant in Toriya Town. My friend gave it to me, but I accidentally used it as a children's coupon. It's useless to me, so I'll give it to Conan."
Conan took the coupon blankly, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
It can be confirmed that Mr. Shirakawa is definitely planning something.
"Don't you have a lot of friends? You can invite them to eat together." The big bad wolf, Baichuanqiu, who was planning something, smiled and added, "Otherwise, this children's meal will be wasted."
Conan: "Thank you... Mr. Shirakawa?"
But could you please tell me what's going on first? This is really creepy...
Facing the protagonist's strange gaze, Baichuan Qiu just had a sincere smile on his face, without a trace of hypocrisy.
Conan didn't receive an answer, so he could only quietly pull the corner of Baichuan Qiu's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Baichuan, what are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything." Baichuan Qiu squatted down and said in a low voice very innocently.
"But you have a shopping mall, a bank, and a restaurant... It looks to me like they're all Nishizaki family properties." Conan muttered in a low voice, "Is there something we need to investigate? Tell me in advance."
Not at all prepared.
"No, there's really nothing wrong. Can't I sincerely hope that you will go out?"
Conan: "But hasn't Mr. Shirakawa been paying attention to Xingyao Entertainment recently?"
How can I still have the time to pay attention to them...
Baichuanqiu: "It's really okay, don't worry about it, just go there."
Don't stay in the office every day. You have to trigger the plot yourself instead of waiting for it to come.
Conan: "...?"
He finally remembered why what was happening now seemed so familiar.
It seemed that last time when Love Love Cafe took away most of the customers from Poirot Cafe, Mr. Shirakawa was also so warm to them and kindly invited them to have a seat at Love Love Cafe.
That is so similar to the scene in front of me.
Conan's mouth twitched. He didn't know why, but something seemed wrong.
"Just go and it's over. Would I harm you?"
Shirakawa Qiu blinked his eyes and patted Conan's head as if entrusting him with an important task: "I leave it to you."
Go, Pikachu, the God of Death!
Conan: Is Mr. Shirakawa having a seizure? Why does it feel even scarier than his weird laugh?
……
Shirakawa Qiu returned to the Poirot Cafe humming a cheerful tune.
Amuro Toru crossed his arms, looked up and down at Shirakawa Qiu with a strange look, then reached out and touched Shirakawa Qiu's forehead.
"what happened?"
Baichuanqiu waved his hand away.
"The plan you mentioned yesterday was to let Conan investigate the Nishizaki Group?" Amuro Toru asked in a strange tone.
Isn't it a bit too hasty to leave this matter to a child?
Thinking of Shirakawa Akira's confident look yesterday, Amuro Toru was really unsure about what Shirakawa Akira was trying to do.
"Oh, I don't have a fever, and I'm not crazy." Baichuanqiu waved his hand, and then his expression became more serious than ever. "Amuro, do you believe in metaphysics?"
Toru Amuro:?
Bai Chuanqiu's face was full of meaning. "No need to say more. Tomorrow—no, you'll know in the afternoon."
Amuro Toru: ? ?
