When several children were immersed in the joy of the detective game with Xiaobai, Enomoto Azusa gradually put everyone's drinks and snacks on the table.

Everyone thanked Enomoto Azusa, ate a few snacks casually, and then returned to the game with full concentration.

It was not until the "Lonely Caramel Coffee" ordered by Huiyuan Ai was served that the atmosphere changed subtly. Huiyuan Ai sniffed the familiar caramel latte aroma and drank it without thinking much.

In an instant, a deep sense of loneliness surged into her heart like a tide. She thought of her deceased parents, her sister who depended on each other for life was no longer there, and the organization she had been in for more than ten years was hunting her everywhere. She could only disguise herself as a child and mix among a group of children, trying to avoid this endless hunt. It seemed that there was no place for her in this world.

Thinking of this, a line of tears slid down her eyes involuntarily, and she couldn't stop it.

After a while, Ayumi was the first to notice the abnormality of Haibara Ai. She shouted in surprise: "Why is Haibara crying?"

At this time, the other three boys who were having fun also noticed Haibara Ai's tears. Mitsuhiko and Genta panicked and comforted her:

"What's wrong? Do you want to talk to Detective Xiaobai?"

"How about I give you my seat to play."

Conan saw that Haibara Ai had no reaction and was full of doubts. He gently shook Haibara Ai's shoulder and whispered: "Hey, what's wrong with you? The children are worried about you."

Hailaa Ai slowly came back to her senses and glanced around with a dazed look. Seeing the worried faces of Ayumi and the other two, she forced a smile and said slowly: "It's okay, but the coffee tastes a bit strange."

Ayumi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "So that's how it is, Ayumi heard that coffee is a drink for adults, it's very bitter, Huihara-san should not drink this."

Yuta also echoed, "That's right, coffee is not as good as Coke! And Taro-san's menu is too weird, what 'Lonely Caramel Latte', who would have thought it was coffee!"

Mitsuihiko first gave Yuanta some popular science: "Yuta, latte is a kind of coffee." Then he turned to Huihara Ai and said, "Huihara-san, how about I ask Taro-san to get you another drink, what do you want to drink?"

Huihara Ai shook her head gently, "No, this coffee is actually quite delicious if you savor it slowly." She took another sip of coffee. Although the feeling of loneliness came again, she had learned to control it and did not let tears fall again.

Ayumi and the other two looked at each other, full of confusion, but when they saw that Huihara Ai did not cry again, they re-entered the detective game with Xiaobai.

Conan glanced at Huihara Ai in confusion and became very interested in the coffee in her hand. What magic does this coffee have that can make people cry after tasting it?

Taro Jouno, who was secretly observing Huihara Ai from the side, was surprised when he saw the little Loli crying. He didn't expect that this cup of coffee would have such a great impact on her, and he couldn't help but regret not stopping her from ordering this cup of coffee. He was struggling whether to bring a cup of milk over, and he was relieved when he saw Huihara Ai's mood slowly stabilized.

After this little episode, everyone had a lot of fun with Xiaobai and completely forgot the passage of time.

When it was past six o'clock and the sky had completely darkened, Taro Jouno began to urge everyone to leave: "Okay, let's stop here today, you should go home."

The five people looked up at the window and were surprised to find that it was so dark outside.

"Oh, is it so late already?"

"Oh no, my mom is still waiting for me to go home for dinner!"

"Goodbye, Brother Taro, Goodbye, Sister Xiaozi, Goodbye, Inspector Xiaobai!"

The three real elementary school students suddenly became nervous, said goodbye in a hurry, picked up their schoolbags and hurried home.

Huihara Ai also silently picked up her schoolbag and pushed the door to leave.

Conan returned the Xiaobai doll to Taro Jouno behind the bar, "Thank you, Brother Taro, this detective game is really fun, Ayumi and the others like it very much."

Haha, I see you are also addicted, "As long as you like it." Taking Xiaobai, Taro Jouno turned and walked towards the staff lounge.

Conan followed closely and asked tentatively: "Doesn't Brother Taro dislike detectives? How come he has a robot doll that specializes in playing detective reasoning games?"

Taro Jouno stopped and turned back to ask: "My cafe is called 'Poirot'. Is it strange to have such a doll?"

"Uh..." Conan was speechless for a moment. This reason was indeed irrefutable.

But he was still unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "Where did Brother Taro buy this doll?"

Taro JounoXiaobai put it next to the computer desk, plugged it in and started charging, and answered without hesitation: "No comment, this is a trade secret."

Conan was choked again, but he still wanted to try again: "I'm still a child, and I won't open a cafe. I just want to buy a doll like this, so that I can have an extra activity when camping in the future. Brother Taro, just tell me~" As he said this, Conan used the unique tone of a child again.

However, Taro Tiaono already knew Conan's true identity, and felt disgusted by his words, and goose bumps all over his body. He sighed helplessly and decided not to pay attention to Conan's entanglement.

Taro Tiaono didn't say anything, just picked up Conan's collar and carried him out of the store like a chicken.

"Hurry up and go upstairs, or I'll call Xiaolan to pick you up." After saying that, Taro Tiaono closed the store door with a "bang".

Conan stood there for more than a minute without finding anything, and finally walked upstairs dejectedly.

As he walked, he thought about sending a message to Huiyuan Ai to report the results of his questioning. He knew without thinking that he would receive a lot of sarcastic replies.

"Ah? Is this the ability of a great detective?"

"Can't even get an ordinary person to say something?"

"Haha, are you a fake great detective?"

When he thought of this, Conan felt a headache.

...

After 12 o'clock that night, Tokyo seemed to have entered winter overnight, and snow fell heavily.

The next morning, the roadside and the rooftops were covered with snow, and the whole world was covered in silver, which was beautiful.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the five elementary school students appeared at Poirot Cafe on time again.

"We are here to play with Inspector Xiaobai!" The three children shouted happily.

Taro Jouno looked at these little guys and couldn't help but feel a little headache. Did they regard his place as a secret base for free food and drink?

At this time, he noticed that Conan was wearing a mask and asked curiously: "Conan, what's wrong with you?"

Conan replied with half-moon eyes: "I kicked off the quilt when I was sleeping last night, and it happened to snow, so I caught a cold."

Taro Jouno suddenly realized that the reason why Conan caught a cold at the offline gathering of the Magician Hobby League tomorrow was because he didn't cover himself with the quilt last night.

While he took out the Xiaobai doll again to deal with these children, he was thinking about the arrangements for tomorrow's gathering in his mind.
