Conan Moslin

"Chiyo Yamashita, the sea snake catcher from Kudaka Island, recommended her granddaughter to assist in the sea snake inspection at Izu Beach? Has the security officer agreed?" Yuko Soragi asked a series of questions in rapid succession on the phone. "Sister Kuriyasu, how did you do it?"

Li An rubbed his brows and listened to her mumbling, then he asked unconsciously: "...You didn't see the fax? I thought the people who went to see Ms. Chiyo sent you the records?"

Soragi Yuko flipped through the fax records and said, "Oh... got it."

After waiting for Sora Yuuko's series of complaints about the specific situation and concern for her injuries to end, Li An asked, "What did Uncle Makoto say?"

"Ahem—" Soramu Yuko coughed twice and immediately changed her tone to that of a father, "Kuroba, you did a good job this time. Don't do this again in the future."

"Did he really say that?" Li An was very skeptical.

"He was busy spending time with my mom, so he assigned the tasks to me. I also read the report that the security officer sent this afternoon." Sora Yuko complained to her father, "Sister Li An, didn't the person in charge tell you yesterday that I asked you for help?"

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Li An just felt a headache.

"Send the foreman from last time to the hospital to find me... You are really good."

This foreman was the person who was transferred from the Beika Hotel to the Princess Hotel by Yuko Sora, but he was not the manager who had previously come into contact with Maori and others.

Yuko recalled the afternoon incident report.

"Another security officer took him to the hospital. He went there to find out what happened."

Then she asked this person to ask Li An for help.

It was just that Li An "herself" didn't know this person, so when this gentleman found her, the situation became very critical.

Li An described the grand occasion as succinctly as possible: "Xiao Lan saw that he stopped me alone and almost tore him apart."

Yuko: ...

It has a visual effect.

Li An didn't hear Yuko's reply, and continued, "Not long after he contacted me, he contacted someone to hire a sea snake catcher."

Maori and his companions did not tell anyone else about Matsuzaki Haru, so after Kurian provided partial records of her conversations with Matsuzaki Haru, the identities of her relatives were quickly discovered.

Immediately afterwards, the people who went to Kudakashima chose Yamashita Chiyo as their target after weighing the pros and cons.

As for how to say it specifically...

As soon as she played the recording of the second half of the interrogation and pointed out the fact that the sea snake almost hurt someone, Chiyo Yamashita immediately guessed what bad thing her granddaughter had done.

We still don't know how Chiyo Yamashita begged the staff who came here to spare her granddaughter, but the follow-up of the matter is already clear.

"What time is it over there according to the time difference? You're calling me so late. You don't want to continue traveling tomorrow, right?"

After Li An explained the situation to Youzi, he glanced at the time and was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait...wait! Sister Li An! I have one more thing to ask!"

"……besides?!"

The smile gradually became dangerous.

……

Kogoro Maori and Conan returned to the Maori Detective Agency together.

After climbing the stairs and throwing his luggage in the room, Kogoro Mouri looked at the empty refrigerator, wiped his face and looked at Conan.

"Let's go! While Xiaolan is away, I'll take you to eat ramen for dinner!"

Although Conan always gets hit on the head for messing up cases, he actually has a good relationship with Kogoro Mouri.

Hearing this, Conan temporarily put aside the confusion of the past two days and nodded repeatedly without objection.

Kogoro Mouri drove Conan to the Haido Commercial Street and found a somewhat old and simple shop with familiarity.

Pushing the door open, I saw that everything in the house was very old, the walls were a little gray, and the electric fan hanging in the corner was shaking its head and blowing air.

There weren't many people in the store, maybe three or five.

In the corner on the right, there was a middle-aged man in a suit sitting there, with only soup left in his bowl.

The waiter wearing a red headscarf was standing with his hands on his hips, angrily saying, "Dad, the doctor said you can't drink the soup when you eat ramen!"

"Okay, okay, I just took a sip...it's okay." The middle-aged man handed the bowl to his daughter, "Another guest is coming, Caidai, go and get busy."

The waitress Caidai in a red headscarf turned around and greeted the customers.

She served ice water to two customers, one big and one small, and enthusiastically recommended the store's signature dishes, and soon raised her voice to take an order.

The chef who took the job began to prepare the ingredients. The kitchen behind the ramen bar was steaming for a while, and the meal was soon ready.

The strong aroma was locked in the store, and even Conan couldn't help but salivate.

"Normally at this time... there's always a queue here..." Maori Kogoro said, looking a little surprised, "Why are there only a few people here today?"

The waitress, Ms. Caidai, placed the ramen on the table for the two of them and said, "There's nothing we can do... There have been people causing trouble in the store lately, and many customers are unwilling to come."

"Someone is here to cause trouble? What's going on?" Kogoro Mouri asked immediately.

Conan has already started eating.

Miss Caiyo had just said a few words when she heard shouts of dissatisfaction from the door.

"There are still customers in the store, so why are you kicking us out when we want to eat?"

"How can you not let customers into your store?"

At the door of the store, a middle-aged man who seemed to be Caiyi's father was negotiating with several people, but he did not stop anyone.

A few hooligans came in with a swagger, ordered ramen without any courtesy, and sat down in groups of three or four around the guests. They looked like they had bad intentions.

One of them sat next to Kogoro Mouri and looked at their soup bowls with squinted eyes.

Conan and his friend didn't even have time to take a few bites before those people started quarreling and pushing each other, spilling all the ramen on other people's tables onto the ground.

Of course, Kogoro Mori couldn't just sit there and watch, but an accident still happened as the people pushed and quarreled.

……

“Is this the good shop you mentioned?”

Huihara Ai stared silently at the bright shop and the closed sign at the door, then turned to look at Aso Jun: "But this place is closed..."

And clearly something was wrong.

Jun Aso was dumbfounded when he saw the mess inside the glass door.

The lights in the store were on, and through the glass one could see the broken pieces of porcelain bowls and the overturned chopstick cage outside the red bar.

There was no one in the store, as if something had happened and there was no time to clean up.

It didn't look like a case because the police didn't come.

The shop next door was a barber shop. The person who locked the door heard the noise coming from next door and saw someone standing in front of the ramen shop in a daze, so he kindly reminded them: "Are you here to eat noodles? Don't wait."

Jun Aso took advantage of the light in the store to glance at the barber shop's sign and asked about the situation.

"Manager Yanaka, what happened?"

Manager Tanaka looked at her carefully and couldn't remember having such a customer before.

But he still answered patiently: "A customer in this store had an emergency and was taken to the hospital by ambulance."

He sighed as he spoke.

"Be careful, this area is not safe."

Aso Jun thanked the kind boss, stared at the word "closing" for a long time, and finally sighed and discussed with Xiao Ai.

"There are a few shops nearby. What do you want to eat? I'll take you there."

"Forget it... I'll just buy a few bento boxes from the convenience store."

Before leaving, Huihara Ai looked up at the old shop.

The same big words were written on the yellow shed and the old red sign with lights on:

To die for ramen.
