Early the next morning.

Baijiu packed up lightly and prepared to go to the pet shop to check the situation and have further communication with the clerk.

Let’s call the two shop assistants in the pet shop "Xiao Shuai" and "Xiao Mei".

Although I have never heard of Xiao Shuai's story, his face is full of stories, with one eye standing guard and the other eye keeping watch.

Baijiu really regretted not observing carefully yesterday.

Fortunately, Xiaomei is relatively normal, except that her hands and feet are a little clumsy.

Although he has an ordinary appearance, he has high emotional intelligence and good vision.

"Mr. Yi Yu, what you mean is that as long as we find that the handsome dark-skinned guy opposite talking to Mr. Mao Li or going upstairs, I will notify you immediately, right?" Xiaomei asked.

"That's right." Baijiu stroked the cats and dogs in the store.

"But why do you want to do this? Boss, do you like Mr. Maori and are you jealous?"

Dacongming Xiaoshuai asked curiously, scratching his head and looking at the liquor in confusion.

"Hey, how are you talking to the boss?" Xiaomei poked him with her arm and said in a low voice.

"That's about right." Baijiu gave a meaningful smile.

"What?! Boss...you...?" The two looked at Baijiu in surprise.

"The dark-skinned man and I just became Maori's disciples yesterday, so I'm afraid he might be secretly doing something introverted, so I'm asking you to help keep an eye on him."

Baijiu said lightly.

"As long as you discover it once, inform me in time and I will increase your reward."

"However, don't tell others that I am the boss. I prefer to keep a low profile." Baijiu lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

"Yes!" The two men stood up straight and saluted the liquor.

Baijiu patted Xiaoshuai's shoulder and forced a smile.

"Ding!!"

【Video call——Vermouth. 】

Baijiu patted his palms which were covered with dog hair, walked out of the pet shop slowly, his expression changed to a serious one, and he continued the video.

"So comfortable, sitting cross-legged and eating fruit."

"It's break time, do whatever makes you feel comfortable." Vermouth picked up a bunch of grapes and shook it in front of the white wine to show off.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business." Vermouth retracted her smile in a second.

"How's the investigation going? Have you found any traces of Bourbon?"

"Found out, the information you provided is correct, he is indeed near Go-chome." Baijiu flipped the camera over.

"Do you mean Polo Café?" Vermouth leaned her head over.

"Yes." Baijiu pointed the camera at himself.

"That's good. It seems he didn't break his promise." Vermouth chuckled lightly.

"Eh? When did a pet shop open here? It wasn't here the last time I came here." Vermouth frowned in confusion.

"Maybe they transferred it because they kept losing money." Baijiu made up a random excuse to respond perfunctorily.

"You don't mind me keeping a pet in the room, do you?" Vermouth asked playfully.

"Do you like cats or dogs? I guess you're not allergic to them."

Baijiu understood the meaning instantly and turned and walked towards the pet shop.

"Don't talk for now, I'm on video." Baijiu muted the microphone and looked at them seriously, especially emphasizing to Xiaoshuai.

"You guess, great detective." Vermouth said playfully.

"You like dogs but are allergic to cat hair?..." Baijiu answered tentatively.

"Uh-huh, do you need me to tell you the reason?"

"Then I almost know what you are going to say." Baijiu smiled helplessly as the image of Vermouth appeared in his mind.

Vermouth watched intently.

"That's it, Russian shepherd."

"Are you referring to the white one?" Baijiu pointed and asked.

"Well, I'll leave it at your place for the next few days. I'll talk about it when I get back."

"OK."

"Okay, I'm going to get ready for work."

"You don't want to eat?"

"It's because of what you said about my weight in England. I'm going to start losing weight."

"Forehead......."

"Be careful."

"beep."

It’s only 10 o’clock, it’s early enough to start the mission.

"Hey Xiaoshuai, give me that Russian shepherd dog." Baijiu pointed.

"Got it, boss. Here you go." Xiao Shuai excitedly handed the cage to Baijiu.

"Boss, the total is 3. How are you going to pay?"

Xiao Shuai came to the cashier counter and looked at the liquor excitedly.

"Are you stupid? He is already the boss, and you still charge him money?" Xiaomei added quickly.

"Excuse me, is that the boss lady? She looks like a foreign star." Xiaomei asked curiously.

"Hmm." Baijiu nodded proudly.

"But, be low-key. We all prefer to do things in a low-key manner." Baijiu said in a low voice, covering his mouth.

"I understand, boss."

Baijiu put his hands on his waist, ready to go in and carry the cage home.

Through the store's glass, I saw Sonoko and Xiaolan walking down the stairs of Maori's office.

Of course, there is also the one who is possessed by the god of death.

Conan?!!!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"I'll come back to pick it up this afternoon! Please keep an eye on it for me first."

Baijiu put the cage aside, half-crouched and slowly pushed open the door.

He put his phone in his pocket and opened the car door slightly.

He stretched his arm to the side and took out the hat and voice recorder that were hidden in the lid, as well as a spare cell phone.

Wear it on top of your head with the brim pulled down.

He was always half-crouching behind the car, observing them silently to avoid being discovered by Conan.

Seizing the opportunity when Conan was chatting, he abandoned the car, stood up suddenly, and ran across the street with big strides.

He hid outside a doorpost, tilted his head and looked forward.

Judging from the direction they were moving, they seemed to be heading towards the bus stop not far ahead.

Conan acted harmless and acted coquettishly towards Sister Xiaolan, asking to hold her hand.

Eh~ it looks so corny.

Baijiu followed them with a frown on his face, and entered a convenience store near the station, pretending to buy something.

After confirming that they were on the bus, he walked slowly to the boarding gate, lowered his head to look at his phone, and pretended to walk forward casually.

"Teacher Yi Yu?" Yuanzi said in surprise.

"Eh? Sonoko, Xiaolan, we meet again. It's such a small world."

Baijiu greeted them naturally.

"Ah! Isn't this Conan? Long time no see." Baijiu stroked Conan with his right hand that had just touched the dog.

"Oh, no, please don't." Conan said coquettishly, trying to move the mountain of liquor with just a feather.

"Where are you going?" Baijiu rubbed Conan as if he were a handrail.

"We are going to go to Beihu Restaurant and try the food there." Xiaolan explained gently.

"Is that a coincidence? Me too."

"Brother Yi Yu, why don't you drive your car? I remember your car was so cool!"

"Why do you have to squeeze into the bus?" Conan said the most oppressive words in the cutest tone.

"That's because I almost ran into Xiaolan Yuanzi and the others that day. When I got out of the car to observe, I happened to see some scratches on the car body."

"So I sent it for repair." Baijiu said gently to Conan, looking at him with kind eyes.

"By the way, Xiaolan, have you replied to him? You promised me yesterday that you would message him back." Yuanzi said with a look of disappointment.

"I said...I said it." Xiaolan and Conan's faces turned red at the same time.

"Ah? Really? What are you talking about?" Yuanzi's eyes were instantly filled with light and she said excitedly, and Baijiu beside her also leaned in to listen.

"I...I just told him about winning." Xiaolan shyly poked two fingers.

"I always feel... embarrassed to tell him." Xiaolan's face turned redder as she spoke.

Conan did the same and lowered his head embarrassedly.

There are so many loopholes, Conan.

"Hey! Xiaolan." Sonoko made a sucking sound and shook her head helplessly.

"If you keep being so careful, he might really fall in love with someone else."

"Because, although his personality is a bit weird, many people like him."

"Maybe one day, a strong opponent will appear."

Baijiu stared at Conan silently, observing his micro-expressions, as if appreciating something in his pocket, with a playful smile on his face.

"Huh!?" Sonoko's expression suddenly changed and she raised the arm of a passenger next to her.

"Pervert! This man is a pervert!" Sonoko shouted indignantly.

The passengers on the bus turned back to eat the melons.

"That's annoying, no, I just..." the man explained hurriedly.

Baijiu looked at the man in front of him. The familiar single wrinkle under the eye under the hat and the dark green pupils looked exactly like—

Shuichi Akai.
