Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

"Aren't you interested again?" Hattori Heiji frowned and said in a low voice, "The murderer has not revealed his hand yet, and I haven't figured out the method of poisoning yet."

"But from what I have seen, the murderer must be among those four people."

Shiina Yuichi glanced at Hattori Heiji and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Thank you, if you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known.

Since there was no substantial breakthrough in the case, everyone could only wait helplessly for the identification results of the beverage cup.

As time passed, the whole atmosphere became extremely depressing.

At this moment, Officer Takagi made an unexpected discovery. He found unused creamer and syrup in Urata Kohei's pocket.

This sudden discovery instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Hattori Heiji's eyes were fixed on the two things in Officer Takagi's hands.

As if to see through them to the truth hidden behind them.

"Excuse me, doesn't the deceased usually drink coffee without creamer and syrup?" Officer Takagi asked Noda Yumemi and others, holding the thing in his hand.

Noda Yumemi and the others looked at each other and shook their heads. Then Noda Yumemi answered, "No, Dr. Urata can't drink black coffee without these two things."

Uncle Maori frowned and continued to ask, "Then why did he finish the coffee without creamer and syrup?"

Others also expressed their confusion.

Just when everyone was confused, Ninagawa Ayako, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Actually, it's not coffee, it's Coke."

Ok?

Everyone was surprised by what Ninagawa Ayako said and turned their eyes to her.

Then, Ninagawa Ayako continued to explain, "Because I thought, if this happens, he will come to me to change his drinks."

"Perhaps, then he will come and ask me why I broke off the engagement with him."

engagement!!

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on the ground.

Shiina Yuichi also looked at Ninagawa Ayako in surprise.

By the way, in Japan today, the legal age for marriage for women is 16.

Then Shiina Yuichi quietly approached Haibara Ai's ear.

"Shiho, you are 7 years old now, right?"

"Emmm, judging from the appearance, yes." Huibara Ai replied.

"Is that so? It will take another 9 years? How old will I be in 9 years? 31? Isn't that too old?"

Haibara Ai, who was already confused, listened to Shiina Yuichi's mumbling and thought of what the woman named Ninagawa Ayako had just said.

His eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.

Could it be that Yuichi is already thinking about our future?

That’s not right. It seems that he hasn’t acknowledged my identity as his official girlfriend yet.

But...Shiina Shiho...seems...not bad...

As she was thinking, wisps of white smoke began to rise from Haibara Ai's head.

Shiina Yuichi also fell into a state of trance.

At the same time, Inspector Megure and his team also learned from Ayako Ninagawa that she was engaged to the deceased.

Originally, the two planned to get married after Ninagawa Ayako graduated.

But for some unknown reason, Ayako Ninagawa unilaterally broke off the engagement last week.

I thought Urata Kohei would come to her to ask her for clarification.

What she didn't expect was that Urata Kohei didn't look for him for a whole week, and even when Ninagawa Ayako went to the hospital, she was avoided by him.

She knew that Urata Kohei would appear here today, so she changed the iced coffee into Coke.

Taking this opportunity, maybe the two of them could have a good chat.

"No wonder, my cup is also Coke." Hong Shang Mai said, reaching into her pocket to take out the untouched creamer and syrup.

Shiina Yuichi looked at Hong Shang Mai's actions, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled silently.

"Have you discovered anything?" Hattori Heiji noticed the change in Shiina Yuichi's expression and asked quickly.

Looking at Hattori Heiji who had a somewhat anxious expression, Shiina Yuichi glanced at Toyama Kazuha who was still sulking, and suddenly a plan came to his mind.

"I guess I have a little idea." Shiina Yuu paused, "If you want to know, you have to answer a question for me."

"What's the problem?" Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up.

No problem is a problem, as long as you tell me what you have discovered.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had a serious discussion with Shiina Yuichi about the case.

You know, in the world of detectives, there are only ordinary people and equal opponents.

And Yuichi Shiina is the latter.

He is an opponent recognized by Hattori Heiji.

It is a very happy thing to have like-minded friends as companions on the lonely road.

Hattori Heiji made up his mind that no matter what Shiina Yuichi wanted to know, he would tell him.

Under his expectant gaze, Shiina Yuichi spoke.

"Do you like He Ye?"

Hattori Heiji: ?(?'?'? )??????

No, this question...

Do you really want to answer?

That is of course impossible.

"No, no, no, we are just childhood sweethearts." Hattori Heiji turned his head and glanced at Toyama Kazuha.

He found that the other party still turned her head to the side, and he could not see her expression. She seemed to be still angry and not paying attention to his conversation with Shiina Yuichi.

Hattori Heiji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately I didn’t hear it.

Why would a guy like Shiina Yuichi ask such gossip questions?

This gave him a bit of a headache.

As for the person who originated the question, he looked at the two of them with interest.

Although Shiina Yuichi couldn't see Toyama Kazuha's expression.

But in just two seconds, he discovered that the tips of the other person's ears had already turned red.

Did you really not hear it?

Never mind. Just consider it as some compensation for my previous attempt to sow discord between you two.

Shiina Yuichi smiled silently, pretending not to see it, and continued, "I had a friend before, and he also had a childhood sweetheart, and he really liked her."

"The other party also had a good impression of him, but unfortunately this guy always procrastinated and didn't tell the other party what was in his heart. As a result, the two of them ended up in a relationship that ended in failure."

"later……"

"What happened later?" asked Haibara Ai blinking her big eyes, seeming very interested in the story told by Shiina Yuichi.

Shiina Yuu glanced at Hattori Heiji, who looked a little unnatural, and said with a sly smile, "Later, my friend's childhood sweetheart was snatched away by a man with dyed yellow hair."

"And he can only live out his life alone."

"What a poor guy." Huibara Ai sighed.

"Yeah, that's tragic!" Shiina Yuu said with a hint of meaning, "So sometimes you should say what you need to say as soon as possible. Some people clearly have the ability to enlighten others, but they are timid and don't dare to step forward."

“Time doesn’t give anyone the chance to wait.”

Shiina Yuichi's words made Hattori Heiji feel a little uneasy.

Damn, this guy is talking about him, of course.

But, there is no evidence yet.

And Ye she...

If I had known... I wouldn't have asked.
