Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

The next morning.

Ran Maoli and Conan Edogawa went downstairs, planning to enjoy a delicious breakfast at the Poirot Cafe.

Just as he was about to push open the door of the cafe, Conan, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught a glimpse of the daily recommended menu posted on the glass door. The big words on it stunned him instantly. Oh my God, why do people here have such a big opinion of detectives?

"Sister Xiaolan, look, what's going on?" Conan stopped, his half-moon eyes drooped, and he pointed at the words "Detectives and dogs are not allowed to enter" and asked speechlessly.

Ran Maoli then noticed the extra glaring words on the menu. She took a closer look and her heart skipped a beat. Although she herself is not a detective, her father is, and her father has a good relationship with the manager of this store. Why would the other party be so hostile to the detective?

"I don't know, what's going on?" Ran Maoli was confused.

Conan pushed his glasses, "In that case, let's go in and ask clearly." After saying that, he pushed the door and walked into the coffee shop without looking back.

"Conan, wait for me~" Before Mao Lilan could stop him, she could only follow him into the coffee shop. In fact, she also wanted to know what was going on.

"Dingling~"

The bell on the door rang crisply, and Enomoto Azusa quickly looked up at the door, "Welcome~"

As soon as she saw who was coming, her face suddenly became not so good.

When she came to work in the morning, she noticed that in addition to the words "New coffee beans, half price within three days!" on the recommendation of the day, there were also some discriminatory remarks.

She wanted to wipe it off, but was stopped by Jyono Taro in a stern voice. Thinking that she was just a waiter, she finally chose to remain silent.

But she always felt that this was not good, after all, the landlord who lived upstairs was a detective!

Look, trouble really came to her.

"Sister Xiao Azusa, what's the matter with those words?" Conan asked seriously, and Ran Maori behind him also looked at her, wanting to get an answer.

"Well..." Azusa Enomoto was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"That was written by me." Seeing this, Taro Jionno, who was standing by, took the initiative to take over the conversation and helped Azusa Enomoto out of the siege, making her feel relieved.

Just at this time, a customer urged, and Azusa Enomoto quickly handed three cups of caramel lattes to the green-dressed girl waiting on the side, leaving Ran Maori and Conan who were looking for trouble to Taro Jionno to deal with.

"Ah? So it was written by Brother Taro, then why did you write such words?" Conan immediately pointed the finger at Taro Jionno when he heard that it was written by Taro Jionno.

Conan actually didn't have much impression of Taro Jionno.

Although before he became a child and changed his name to Edogawa Conan, that is, when he was still Kudo Shinichi, he was only three years older than Jionno Taro, barely the same age.

But Jionno Taro went to school in Hokkaido before, and after coming to Tokyo, he stayed in a rented house to tinker with his own things, and rarely appeared in the cafe, so Conan didn't know him well. He only knew that he was the son of the cafe owner and didn't go to college after graduating from high school.

"Because I don't like dogs." Jionno Taro answered confidently.

"..." Conan was speechless when he heard this. Many cafes do not allow pets to enter in order to keep the store clean, and he has no objection to this.

Mao Lilan also thinks this reason is understandable. It is normal for cafes to prohibit pets!

But is this the point? Conan quickly reacted and realized that he might be treated as a child. He quickly emphasized his doubts: "I want to ask, why did Brother Taro put detectives and dogs on the banned list together?"

At this time, Mao Lilan also reacted. The point is the detective! Why are detectives and dogs included in the banned list? You know, her father is a detective!

Ran Maori stared at Taro Jouno closely, her eyes full of expectation, wanting to see how he would answer.

Taro Jouno did not answer immediately, but glanced at Conan and Ran Maori, and asked lightly: "Do you know the origin of the name of Poirot Cafe?"

Ran Maori was stunned for a moment. She seemed to vaguely remember that someone had told her the origin of the name of Poirot Cafe, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

When Conan heard this question, he immediately became energetic, and he didn't bother about Taro Jouno not answering his question just now. He held his head high and answered: "Of course I know, this is the name of the protagonist in the detective novel written by British writer Agatha Christie."

Ran Maori heard Conan's answer and instantly remembered that Shinichi had also popularized this knowledge point to her before. She looked at Conan in surprise. She didn't expect Conan to know so much.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to be so good at it.. "Taro Jouno looked at Conan, who looked very proud, and continued to explain, "My father named this cafe this way. In addition to wanting to use this name to attract customers who are interested in detectives, he also wanted to use the reputation of the Maori Detective Agency upstairs to attract some additional customers. But I didn't expect..."

When hearing the first half of Taro Jouno's sentence, Conan and Ran Maori nodded silently in their hearts, thinking that the former store manager had a good vision. After all, the second floor was the Maori Detective Agency, and the name of the cafe on the first floor related to detectives really complemented each other.

But when they heard the second half of Taro Jouno's sentence, they felt something was wrong. They knew that the Maori Detective Agency was not famous at all.

Sure enough, Taro Jouno's next words verified their guess: "...The Maori Detective Agency on the second floor has been open for ten years, but it has never been famous and has not brought much traffic to our cafe. "

Speaking of this, Taro Jouno's tone became less polite, "What's more, Uncle Maori said yesterday that he would raise the rent, and then took my hard-earned rent money out to drink and have fun. What's wrong with me complaining about such an unmotivated person?"

"So that's how it is." After listening to Taro Jouno's explanation, Conan suddenly realized that it was all Uncle Maori's fault, and he, an innocent high school detective, was also implicated. Conan's eyes involuntarily turned into half-moon eyes.

"Wait, Taro brother." After listening to the explanation, Ran Maori also understood the whole story, but her focus was obviously different from Conan's, "You just said that you paid the rent last night? And the rent will increase in the future? "

Ran Maori thought of her father who came home drunk last night, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She said that the detective agency had not received many commissions recently, and she was wondering where her father got the money to drink and have fun outside. Now everything is clear. It turned out that he went out to drink and have fun without handing in the rent.

Also, what's the matter with the rent increase? As the financial manager of the family, she has never heard of this.

Ran Maori clenched her fist unconsciously. She felt that she needed to have a "friendly" exchange with her father.

"Yes, Uncle Maori said that a little devil came to the house, and the pressure of life has increased a lot." Taro Jyouno said to Conan with a smile, "He should be talking about you."

"Hehe. "Conan couldn't help but sweat on his forehead when he heard this. He originally thought that Jyouno Taro's resentment towards Maori Kogoro was just because of the rent increase, but he didn't expect that he also had his "contribution" in this.

Just when he wanted to say something to explain, a scream suddenly interrupted the conversation of the three people, "Ah! Julie?"

Jyouno Taro turned his head and saw a woman lying on the ground. She was one of the three people entertained by Enomoto Azusa before.

He glanced helplessly at the excited Edogawa Conan, knowing that it was a certain death god elementary school student who was using his power.
