Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Mao Lilan saw Gelin and ran over happily.

Green, who was wearing a white shirt, looked at Mao Lilan running over with a smile, and Shinichi and others also walked over.

"Sister Gelin, why are you here? Aren't you going to continue setting up a stall?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.

Green handed the drink in her hand to Kudo Shinichi, "Most people just went to watch the show, so it wasn't very busy. I asked my colleagues to check out the stalls, and I came over for a while and bought a drink. For everyone. But now that the show is over, the stall is probably going to get busy, so I’m going to ask Shinichi to help you share the drinks. I’m going back to help first.”

Green waved her hand and disappeared into the crowd.

Shinichi looked at the drink in the bag. It must have been freshly made by the stall next to it, because the ice cubes in the bottle were still intact, with no signs of melting, and there were not many water droplets condensed on the wall of the cup.

He took out one bottle from the bag and handed it to Mao Lilan first, then handed the second cup to Mingyue, and handed the third cup to Yuanzi. Finally, there was one cup left in the bag, and he opened it and took a sip. It seemed to taste good.

Mingyue checked the sealing condition and looked at the nearby stalls. There seemed to be no problem, so she took a sip.

The last few people were tired of shopping and sat down to rest near Gelin's stall. The ice cream in Gelin's stall sold very quickly. After a while, the inventory became a bit tight. Gelin's colleagues negotiated to go back and get new ice cream. , currently the stall can only be managed by Gelin alone.

Looking at the endless flow of customers, Green could only agree to her colleague's suggestion. However, as the time was getting closer to the start time of the fireworks display, there were more and more customers, and Green was a little too busy by herself.

Mao Lilan pulled Kudo Shinichi over to help Gelin. Yuanzi and Mingyue couldn't sit aside anymore, so they also went over to help. After all, Gelin often invited everyone to eat ice cream.

Mingyue observed Green from a close distance. The summer sun shone particularly dazzlingly on the white shirt, like a mandala.

There was not much ice cream in stock, and with Mao Lilan's help, more and more people bought it, and soon the ice cream was sold out.

Green could only say sorry to the customers who were still in line.

After the customers dispersed, Gelin smiled and said to Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, it's great that you came to help, but our ice cream is sold too fast. Why hasn't the person who went to get the ice cream come back yet?"

Green looked into the distance and frowned slightly.

After everyone waited for a while, Gelin's colleague came back and told Gelin that there would be a float show soon, so many roads were blocked and vehicles could not pass, so they had to be moved manually. Moreover, the sales volume of ice cream was so good that several stalls sold a lot of goods, so he had to go to other places to help. This stall could only ask Green.

Greene was a little confused.

Mao Lilan agreed immediately, "Sister Gelin, let's help you. Anyway, the fireworks display will be for a long time, and we have already visited other places."

"Then it's up to you." Green wiped the sweat from her head.

Mingyue glanced at the pavilion not far away. A man and a woman were sitting in the pavilion. The man was wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, and the woman was wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat and a floral dress. They seemed to be chatting about something happy.

Yuzu noticed Ming Yue's gaze and sighed, "What a sensitive girl."

Yukiko put down the fruit tea she was drinking, "Did you get discovered by Ming Yue again?"

Yusaku nodded.

"Is there really something wrong with Gelin? I feel like she is quite good to the children." Yukiko looked at Gelin, who was wearing a white shirt in the ice cream stall. She was counting the ice cream that had just been delivered with the children.

Kudo Yusaku also looked at the ice cream stall not far away, "Now it's just a suspicion, there is no conclusive evidence."

Summer cicadas were noisy on the branches of the trees. The scorching sun made the air hot. People hid in shady places one after another, and fewer and fewer people came and went on the road.

Gelin said she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to go to the bathroom, and asked Mao Lilan to look at the stall.

Mao Lilan agreed wholeheartedly.

Because there were fewer customers, a few people sat down and chatted. Only Mao Lilan stood in front of the stall seriously.

Yuanzi looked at Mao Lilan and joked: "Xiaolan, you can open your own ice cream shop in the future. For a girl with a cute appearance like you, many people will come here to buy things~"

"Sister Green's ice cream is obviously delicious." Mao Lilan's face turned slightly red.

At this time, a new customer came over to Mao Lilan.

Mingyue put her cell phone away, looked at Mao Lilan, who was introducing ice cream to customers, and said, "She is very skilled at doing this, and she can handle it easily when others negotiate prices with her. She is really amazing."

Kudo Shinichi also looked at Mao Lilan, "She has been taking care of the family since she was seven years old. She does all the shopping and cooking by herself, so these bargains and how to introduce products are very familiar to her. It’s nothing more than that.”

"Isn't her father a detective? Isn't her mother a barrister? How can we let her take care of the family affairs? Even if the parents don't have time, they can hire a housekeeper." Mingyue didn't understand.

Is it possible that these flowers in the sun also started doing some training very early? If this is the case, the detective's background needs to be carefully investigated.

Kudo Shinichi saw Mingyue looking at Mao Lilan. Although there was no expression on his face, he still explained aloud, "Actually, I don't know the specific reason. I only know that Xiaolan's parents are separated, and she and her Dad lives together. Like this time when we went out to play, she had to prepare lunch and dinner meals for Uncle Maori a day in advance. In fact, she was not late in the morning for no reason. The reason why we waited so long was probably because she was making breakfast for Uncle Maori or cleaning up. room, wasting time.”

"You seem to know the Maori family very well?" Mingyue felt that Kudo Shinichi might be a breakthrough point.

"I don't know her very well. It's just that Xiaolan likes to come to my house to play, and Xiaolan's mother and my mother are classmates and good friends."

Yuanzi suddenly came over, "What are you two talking about?"

"I was just talking about the huge profit margin and sold a lot of ice cream. But Yuanzi, you seem to be very happy too." Mingyue looked at Yuanzi who was smiling.

Yuanzi smiled even happier, "After all, my family won't agree with me setting up a stall. This is a way to experience a different life! Hahahahaha!"

Mingyue and Shinichi looked at Sonoko speechlessly, cursing in their hearts: Hahaha, which chaebol lady would be like you?

At this time, a strong man walked towards Yuanzi. Yuanzi was confused. Don't most customers go to Xiaolan's side? Why did you come to me this time? Could it be that you are here to strike up a conversation with me?

Kudo Shinichi felt something was wrong and stood next to Sonoko.

Mingyue looked at Kudo Shinichi's serious face and wondered, what's wrong? Don't you recognize who that person is?

The sturdy man looked at Sonoko, "Hey, does Second Miss Suzuki want to set up a stall too?"

"Who are you?" Yuanzi thought hard in his mind.

The man smiled, "My name is Ohno Shunsaburo, and I am an animal trainer. I was the one who wore animal skins on the stage before. Do you think you can't recognize me after changing clothes?"

"Uh..." Sonoko felt a little embarrassed, and Kudo Shinichi also looked embarrassed.

"By the way, is Miss Yoko back?"

The trainer shook his head, "No, to be honest, I don't want her to come back. Kurokawa doesn't deserve to be loved by Miss Yoko. It's a pity that I don't deserve Miss Yoko either. Miss Yoko is the kind of person who doesn't even know how to love a tiger." The eldest lady who can be treated with gentleness, she never dislikes those animals being dirty. She is like a white rose and should not be tainted by anyone."

"Mr. Ohno, are you here to buy ice cream too?" Mingyue asked.

The animal trainer shook his head, "I just walked around and was ready to leave."

"Mr. Ohno, don't you want to watch the fireworks at night?" Sonoko asked aloud.

"My animal partners cannot be kept in such small cages forever. I have to settle them before sunset. I wish you a prosperous business."

The trainer waved goodbye to everyone.

Green came back with some delicious food, saying she came to thank everyone for their help and asked Xinyi to share it with everyone.

Mingyue glanced at the bag. The food in it was all different, and she said, "If you don't mind, we can just take it ourselves. There is no need for Kudo-kun to share it."

Gelin was stunned for a moment, then met Mao Lilan's expectant eyes, and said, "Then you're welcome, just take it as you like." After saying that, Gelin reached out to pick up one of the dishes.

Coincidentally, Sonoko's hand also touched the portion that Gelin chose, and Gelin quickly withdrew her hand.

Yuanzi also took back his hand, looked at Gelin, and said, "How about I choose another one."

"It doesn't matter, I'll give this to you." Green smiled happily and handed the copy to Yuanzi's hand.

After everyone had finished choosing, Mingyue picked up the last one, opened it and looked at it. It was a normal octopus ball, just a little cold.

Gelin took care of the stall, and several people sat aside and ate delicious food.

Magician Kurokawa changed into a magician's costume and wore simple casual clothes. He came to Green's stall and bought an ice cream.

Sonoko had sharp eyes and recognized it at a glance, "Mr. Kurokawa, can't a magician conjure ice cream?"

Kurokawa Yoshixun looked over and recognized Sonoko's group. He spread his hands and said helplessly, "I have taken off my magic cloak and become an ordinary person."

"Can you do that spider trick again?"

Kurokawa Yoshi touched his pocket and found a deck of cards, "I'm sorry, I brought a deck of playing cards with me when I came out. However, I can perform such a magic trick for you."

Kurokawa Yoshi selected three cards from the deck, with the suit facing down, and placed them on the table. He also selected five cards from the deck, put the remaining cards aside, looked at Mao Lilan, and said, "I have I will put five cards in front of you one by one, and you can stop at will."

Magician Kurokawa put down one card, the second card was also put down, the third card was slowly put down, and the fourth card was ready to be put down.

Yuanzi was a little anxious, "Xiaolan yelled to stop."

"Then, stop."

Magician Kurokawa pointed to the fourth card on the table and asked, "Is this the card you chose?"

Mao Lilan nodded.

Magician Kurokawa turned over the cards, and an Ace of Hearts appeared in front of everyone.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right. You will definitely choose this one."

Then the magician Kurokawa turned over the three cards he had placed next to him, and they turned out to be Aces of the other three suits.

"The cards in your hand should all be Aces, so no matter which card Xiaolan chooses, it will be an Ace." Kudo Shinichi expressed his inference.

Magician Kurokawa shook his finger and turned over the other cards. They were all miscellaneous cards with completely different numbers and patterns.

"Wow, that's amazing." Yuanzi exclaimed.

Kudo Shinichi took the deck of playing cards in his hand and looked at them again and again, but found nothing special. This deck of cards was just like ordinary playing cards.

Kurokawa Yoshi saw that Kudo Shinichi was so curious about playing cards, so he gave this deck of playing cards to Shinichi.

Sonoko still wants to continue watching Kurokawa Yoshi perform magic tricks.

However, at this time, Kurokawa Yoshi's mobile phone rang. He answered the call and said, "Hello, dear..." But he seemed to feel that it was not good to answer the phone here, so he bowed and left.

Sonoko looked at Kurokawa Yoshi walking away and said, "It seems that Mr. Kurokawa is on the phone with Miss Yoko. They have a really good relationship."

Mao Lilan said excitedly: "Miss Yoko should come over tonight!"

Yuanzi nodded, "Well, I'll tell her her feedback on the milk tea when the time comes."

Shinichi approached Ming Yue with the playing cards, "Have you figured out what technique you used for that magic trick just now?"

Mingyue put away her phone and looked at Kudo Shinichi with half-moon eyes looking forward to it.

Sonoko suddenly slapped her thigh, and said with some annoyance: "I was only paying attention to the magic just now, and I forgot to ask Mr. Kurokawa when and where the magic was performed in the evening. He also forgot to ask if we could go over and watch him. Performance. Alas~"

Mao Lilan looked forward to it, "They must have confessed their love when the fireworks were at their brightest. They used magic to create an engagement ring under the gorgeous fireworks, and then sprinkled red roses flying in the sky."

Xin Banyue looked at Yuanzi and Mao Lilan, cursing in her heart. She probably wouldn't be willing to let you go over to cause trouble. After all, this should only be a romance between two people.

Mingyue took the playing cards handed over by Shinichi, picked three cards and put them on the table, and then picked out five more cards.

Looking at Shinichi, he said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Just say stop." After saying that, he put a card on the table, and then put down the second card.

Kudo Shinichi quickly shouted stop.

Mingyue pointed to the second card on the table, then pointed to the third card still in her hand, and asked: "Should I choose the one on the table or the one in my hand?"

Kudo Shinichi thought for a while, "This is the one in my hand!"

Mingyue turned over the cards in her hand, and an Ace of Spades appeared in front of Kudo Shingami, and then turned over the three cards previously covered, Aces of other suits.

Kudo Shinichi took the cards in Mingyue's hand and checked, and found that the others were indeed miscellaneous cards.

Yuanzi looked at Mingyue with curiosity on her face and asked, "Can I participate?"

"Of course." Mingyue covered the three Aces on the table, shuffled the remaining five cards, and started the magic show.

Yuanzi chose the second card, and Mingyue turned over the Ace of Spades.

"Eh?" Yuanzi didn't understand how Mingyue did all this, and felt that Mingyue was very mysterious.

And Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized, "I understand, no matter how we choose, the magician will let us choose the Ace of Spades, because the other Ace cards have already been selected."

"Well, not too stupid." Mingyue shuffled the cards in her hand.

Yuanzi didn't seem to understand yet, "How do you know which card I want to choose?"

"Actually, this magic is called the magician's choice. It seems to leave the right of choice to the audience, but in fact it is always in the hands of the magician. In life, some people also use some means to make the other party make a choice without knowing it, and this The choice was designed." Mingyue returned the playing cards to Shinichi, but looked at Green.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue with excitement and asked: "Mingyue, are you also a magician?"

"Uh... I had a teacher who taught me some tricks, but I couldn't do anything on the stage." Mingyue thought of her teacher and sighed.

When will that person show up? I’m looking forward to it~

The sun dyed the horizon orange-red, and the moon had already quietly climbed onto the treetops.

Gelin rummaged around the stall, and finally found that she had forgotten to bring a lamp, so she was ready to close the stall to watch the fireworks, but she had to return the unsold ice cream to the cold storage. It's just that she can't take too many things away at once, and there are already floats parading around her. Many roads are closed and cars can't drive in, so they can only be sent out manually.

Mao Lilan rolled up her sleeves and said, "I am in good physical condition and can help Sister Gelin deliver things."

But Yuanzi's face began to look worse and worse. She covered her stomach and had cold sweat on her forehead.

"Yuanzi, what's wrong with you?" Mingyue sat next to Yuanzi.

Yuanzi looked at Mingyue, "Suddenly my stomach hurts. I wonder if I ate something bad."

"You look a little serious like this." Mingyue made a preliminary assessment of Yuanzi's body, "Can you walk?"

Sonoko tried to get up, but her stomach hurt and she couldn't straighten up.

"If we call an ambulance, it will probably be difficult to get in." Kudo Shinichi looked around, and the nearby roads should have been blocked.

Green suggested: "Why don't you let Xiaolan carry Yuanzi to the hospital? After you two, Xinyi and Mingyue, help me send the things to the cold storage, we will come find Xiaolan and the others."

"I can also take Yuanzi to the hospital." Mingyue didn't want to follow Gelin's suggestion.

"It's okay. I often take care of people, so just leave it to me. And I know there is a hospital nearby. I can carry Yuanzi there." Mao Lilan carried Yuanzi on her back, "And I have good physical strength and can run fast. He’s also familiar with his surroundings.”

Yuanzi lay on Mao Lilan's shoulder, "Thank you, Xiaolan. I should just have a bad stomach."

"You're already sweating profusely. It might be serious. It's better to go to the hospital as soon as possible." Mingyue felt that it was strange that Yuanzi suddenly felt uncomfortable. After all, everyone ate the same food. If there were people who said they felt uncomfortable before, that was Green.

Mao Lilan became nervous after hearing what Mingyue said, and immediately walked towards the hospital.

Mingyue watched Sonoko disappear into the crowd, turned to look at Kudo Shinichi, and then at Green who was cleaning up. In the distance, the Kudo couple also noticed what was happening here and seemed to be following Maori Lan and Sonoko.

Green's white shirt turned a faint red in the afterglow of the setting sun.

It was getting late, and Green took Mingyue and Kudo Shinichi along the path. There were not many pedestrians on the path, but there were many forks in the road.

Mingyue doesn't seem to be good at lifting heavy objects and always stops and starts.

Kudo Shinichi was very anxious. He wanted to finish delivering the ice cream quickly and go to see how the garden was doing. He kept urging Mingyue to leave quickly.

Mingyue looked at her phone and saw that the situation was not good.

The dark narrow alley turned one turn after another, with many forks in the road, and I didn't know where the end point was.

At a turn, Mingyue dropped the goldfish doll on the ground.

After walking for a while, Mingyue exclaimed, "Huh? My doll is missing!"

"That goldfish doll of yours? Didn't you hold it well just now?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue and frowned in displeasure.

Gelin didn't seem to be in a hurry, "When the ice cream is put away, I'll help you find it. I guess there were too many people just now and it was squeezed out. If it doesn't work, my sister will buy you another one."

"But……"

Kudo Shinichi was a little dissatisfied with Ming Yue, "Stop it, and stop playing with your phone. Let's finish it quickly. We will go to the hospital to see Sonoko later. I don't know how she is doing."

Mingyue sighed, Mr. Detective, it is not a good thing to be carried away by emotions. Didn't you find that the path we took was a little strange? It seems to be to get rid of someone?

There were several large black birds circling in the orange-red sky.

Mingyue and Kudo Shinichi followed Greene to the cold storage where the ice cream was stored.

The ice cream factory was very quiet at this time, with no one around. Green's colleagues seemed to be still setting up their stalls and had not returned.

Several people came to the door of the cold storage. On the heavy door were written the four characters "No one allowed to enter."

Kudo Shinichi said to Greene, "Let's wait here for Sister Greene."

Green frowned, "Give all these to me. I can't take them in alone. It doesn't matter if I go in. My colleagues are not here, so I will show you around our cold storage. It's a favor for me." Besides, it’s so hot in the summer, so come in and cool off.”

Kudo Shinichi thought for a while, worried about Sonoko, and then agreed.

After opening the cold storage, a burst of coldness hit them, and several people walked in.

Green directed Mingyue and Shinichi to put things in the deepest part of the cold storage, but she stood at the door of the cold storage.

When everything was put away and ready to leave, Green suddenly asked Shinichi: "Shinichi, do you like me?"

An alarm bell rang in Mingyue's heart, watching Gelin's every move.

Shinichi didn't seem to understand why Green suddenly asked like this, and he just said truthfully: "I have someone I like."

Green continued to ask: "Who do you like? Xiaolan or Mingyue?"

Shinichi thought of the girl who ran away with Sonoko on her back, and then glanced at Mingyue beside him.

Mingyue glanced at Shinichi, continued to stare at Green, and said, "Just say it boldly."

However, Mingyue's words seemed to bring back some bad memories for Green, and the expression on her face became distorted.

Greene had always liked her childhood sweetheart who had grown up with her, and he had agreed to be her boyfriend. She had been looking forward to becoming his bride since she was a child.

But a cute and charming girl suddenly appeared next to her boyfriend, whom she had liked for more than ten years. Gelin's life completely changed because of the appearance of this girl.

Her boyfriend seemed to be indifferent to her and focused all his attention on the pretty and lovely girl.

One day, Gelin went to her boyfriend's house and found that the girl was there. They seemed to have confirmed their relationship and were living together.

Green will never forget when her boyfriend asked her impatiently, "Why are you here?"

That day was obviously his birthday, and Gelin carefully prepared gifts, and also brought flowers and cakes to celebrate his birthday.

Green couldn't remember how she said, "Who do you like? Me or her?"

But Greene will always remember that her boyfriend at that time was just like Kudo Shinichi now, secretly looking at that pretty and lovely girl.

The girl also said those words, "Just say it boldly! You like me!"

Green knew she was going crazy at that moment.

However, the scene before her eyes seemed to reappear, and Green looked at Shinichi and Mingyue fiercely.

"Then let's all die!"

Bang!

The cold storage door was slammed shut.

Mingyue stepped forward and pulled the door open, but it was still a step too late. She and Kudo Shinichi were locked in the ice cream cold storage at minus 18 degrees Celsius.
