Conan: I was found by Ai

"strangeness!"

"If I remember correctly, this should be a bookstore. How did it become a ramen restaurant?"

That day, Xiangzhen and his friend were preparing to go to Mingmei to reminisce about the past, but they found that the bookstore next door had changed at some point.

The reason he can remember it so clearly is that he comes here often.

He bought a lot of swimsuit photos here and said he bought them for Maori.

So when he saw the store disappear, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. While Xiaoai was chatting with Mingmei, he walked in curiously.

The original bookstore disappeared and became a noodle restaurant.

The boss was a middle-aged man with an eye patch on his left eye. His front teeth looked like a mouse's and he had a beard on his upper lip.

A classic image of everyday life!

I was a little confused as to why the store suddenly disappeared, but now I can guess it, because the store manager was none other than this.

It's rum!

Xiang Zhen knew what he looked like because he had seen him in his previous life, otherwise he would not have recognized him at all and would have at most found him a little suspicious.

"welcome!"

Rum, who was wiping the table, smiled kindly when he saw someone coming.

No flaws!

"Isn't this...a bookstore?"

Shojin scratched his head, a puzzled look on his face.

Hearing this, Rum laughed and immediately began to explain.

"Is such that!"

"The bookstore owner left, so the store was naturally transferred. I just came here today. Do you live nearby?"

Rum couldn't help but smile and then changed the subject.

"no!"

"I came here to visit a friend, and I saw that this place was different, so I came to take a look."

Xiang Zhen glanced around the room, acting out a child's facial expressions to perfection, even with the character setting in it.

That is attentiveness, and his caution.

Rum first felt familiar because this face looked like Shoma, the man who injured Gin.

He looked at the information when he came.

So I know what Xiangzhen looks like, but this kid in front of me is 80% similar to Xiangzhen. Could he be his brother?

The reason why he didn't doubt it was because he knew it very well.

Xiangzhen has only been away from the organization for three years. Even if he really has a son, he can't be this big, so it is suspected that he is his brother.

But according to the organization's information, Xiangzhen has no relatives.

They probably just look similar!

"Please give me a bowl of your signature ramen. I'm a little hungry..."

Xiang Zhen was not afraid. He just found a seat and sat down, then said to Rum.

And now his name is not Rum, but Wakita Kanenori.

"Ok!"

"Please give me a review after you finish eating so that I can know if there are any shortcomings."

Rum knew that he had to act completely and speak with no loopholes.

While the other person was running to cook ramen, Shoma took out his cell phone.

[Don’t come here in the future. By the way, tell Mingmei to come to the coffee shop less often in the future. - Kobayashi Shouma]

He edited the message quickly with a blank expression on his face, and even yawned, then he sent it.

Xiao Ai, who was in a coffee shop, was confused after receiving the message and then looked towards the shop opposite.

I found out that Xiang was really sitting inside. Although he looked relaxed, he was actually very panicked inside. After all, he was under Rum's eyes.

After a while, Rum brought a bowl of ramen. It looked delicious, but I didn't know what it would feel like after I ate it.

"Have a try!"

Rum was smiling and seemed very kind.

Seeing this, Xiangzhen picked up the chopsticks and spoon and drank the soup first, and then tasted the ramen.

He always felt that this was very troublesome, but in order not to expose himself, he had to figure out the situation first no matter how troublesome it was.

Although I can roughly guess that it is to investigate me, there should be more to it.

"tasty!"

After eating the ramen, Xiangzhen couldn't help but say.

In fact, for Xiangzhen, the taste of this noodle is very ordinary, but for the locals, it does taste good.

After hearing Shojin's compliment, Rum smiled.

But underneath this smile, I don’t know what he’s thinking.

Then Xiangzhen turned around and left, returning to the cafe across the street.

"What happened just now?"

"what have you found?"

Seeing Xiangzhen coming back, Xiaoai immediately stepped forward.

Then he asked about the situation, his brows furrowed.

"It's Rum!"

"That guy came to investigate me, but I feel like there's more to it than that."

Shoma's voice was very soft, and only Ai and Akemi could hear the conversation.

After hearing this, the two of them frowned.

"I see!"

"I didn't expect Rum to come and open a store."

Mingmei couldn't help but nodded. She had never seen Rum, but she had heard of his name.

There were also some rumors, some said he was a woman, and some said he was an old man, but unexpectedly he was a bald man.

As Xiangzhen said just now, if she stayed now, it might become very dangerous, even if she was not a code member.

But his identity was very conspicuous.

Miyano Shiho's sister was also reported missing in the news.

They will definitely investigate themselves!

"Don't show your face during this period of time."

"In order to avoid being discovered by them, and if my guess is correct, there will definitely be members inside, go and get in touch with him."

Xiang Zhen touched his chin. Although he could take action, it was not necessary.

Because if Rum came, there would definitely be someone to pick him up, but they didn't know who would be there to pick him up.

Then the three of them left here together.

At the same time...Toru Amuro was promoted to store manager!

Mingmei: Come on! I'm rooting for you!

Sho Ma: I leave this to you!

Ai: Shouma! Let's go back quickly...

Now Ai is a little nervous, afraid that she will be discovered. Although she pretends to be calm on the surface, she is very scared inside.

Seeing this, Shoma held Ai's hand.

"fine!"

"I'm here..."

After hearing what Xiangzhen said, Xiaoai was obviously much more relaxed, but she was still a little scared and didn't even dare to show her face.

Because her appearance when she grows up is not much different from now, it is very easy for people to see through her.

At this time, Xiang Zhen took out a hairpin and helped her put her hair up, making her look a lot more energetic.

"You forgot to wear your hairpin!"

"Don't forget next time..."

Xiang Zhen couldn't help but smile and said to Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai was stunned when she heard this, then she loosened the hairpin and fixed it herself.

"Fool!"

"I just don't want to wear it, but I have to do it myself."

Although Xiaoai was very happy in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face.

what is this?

Proud?

No, no, no...she just feels a little shy, so she's embarrassed.
