Chapter 59

"No, no, Grandpa Zouwei, I'm not here to eat." Mao Lilan waved her hand, "Grandma Zouwei told me about this a few days ago. I came here today just to ask you about where you live upstairs, are you going to rent it out, or..."

Halfway through the conversation, Mao Lilan felt that it was inappropriate for her to come here so unprepared, but things had already come to this point.

"It's like this. I'm planning to find a house. Xiaolan told me that you were planning to move out, so she brought me here to ask if you had any plans to rent it out?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Gu Qiyuan opened his mouth and told her what had happened.

"So that's how it is!" the other party exclaimed, "We are indeed planning to move out, but we don't plan to rent this place out."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan looked visibly disappointed.

"We are not afraid of being found out. Our son who lives far away in Nagoya insisted on taking us away. We may not come back in the future. If the lease expires, we will not be able to come back to solve the problem. So we have no plan to rent this place out."

"Have you ever thought about selling it directly?" Suzuki Sonoko asked.

"Is it possible like this?" Mao Lilan's eyes widened. How did it jump from renting to selling?

Suzuki Sonoko plans to buy this place and then rent it to Sister Gu...

Hehe, this way they can go out together more often.

"This shop was left to me by my father. It has been almost a hundred years since I've owned it. To be honest, I'm reluctant to leave it." Zou Wei answered reluctantly as he looked at the decoration of the shop.

"But you just said that you are going to live with your son and will never come back here. Are you planning to abandon this place?" Gu Qiyuan's words made Zou Wei fall into deep thought. Obviously, this was also the point where he had been hesitating.

"Then please leave me your contact information, I'll discuss it with my wife." Zou Wei seemed to be persuaded. Although he was reluctant to sell this place, he would still be very sad if it was left abandoned.

The four of them came out of the store and it was almost time for dinner.

Several people prepared to go directly to the restaurant in front to eat.

"Hey, wait, what happened up front?"

A few people who were still playing on the road suddenly found that there were a lot of people gathered not far ahead.

"Oh no, there seems to be a fire ahead." Kudo Shinichi saw the smoke rising from above, "Xiaolan, call the fire department immediately."

After saying that, he immediately ran forward, even pushing aside the onlookers, and ran to the burning house.

Ran Mouri wanted to stop the man, but Kudo Shinichi, whose reaction speed was usually not as fast as Ran Mouri's, seemed completely unable to be stopped by anyone at this time.

Ran Mouri's hand grabbed nothing, and then she had to call the police as Kudo Shinichi suggested.

"Xiao, Xiaolan, what should we do? Kudo...he just ran in like that?" It was the first time that Suzuki Sonoko had encountered such a thing, especially when Kudo Shinichi rushed to the crime scene. For a moment, she didn't know what to do next.

Mao Lilan did not rush in without caring about the consequences like Kudo Shinichi. Instead, she stood outside and waited anxiously until the door of the confinement room opened.

Although Kudo Shinichi came out in a mess, he didn't seem to have suffered any harm, except that the corners of his eyes were red from the smoke.

Although he has already come out, it is obvious that Kudo Shinichi's focus is still on what is behind him.

When Kudo Shinichi made way for the exit, a blue figure was seen supporting a person out.

Mao Lilan quickly came to the front and finally saw clearly who this person was.

"Mr. Kaeya, I didn't expect to see you here again." Mao Lilan was also surprised. They had just met Mr. Kaeya this morning, and they didn't expect to meet him again here.

"Kaia? Xiaolan, when did you meet such a handsome guy?" Seeing that the person had been helped out, Suzuki Sonoko thought that the matter had been resolved, so she started to pay attention to other things.

I saw that the person in front of me had dark skin, but short indigo hair mixed with a strand of silver hair. There were two tufts of hair sticking up on the top of his head. I don’t know if it was because of what happened just now, but the long hair hanging from the left side now looked a little messy.

"He is really handsome." Suzuki Sonoko wanted to whisper in Gu Qiyuan's ear, but she completely underestimated herself when she was excited. Her voice seemed a little loud in this noisy environment.

At least the people nearby heard it.

"Sonoko." Ran Mouri quickly called out to Suzuki Sonoko and smiled embarrassedly at Kaia.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The people still standing at the door heard a familiar voice coming from behind, and saw Megure Jusan and his men quickly surround the place.

"Why did Officer Megure come here? I remember I just called the fire department." As she said this, Mouri Ran opened her cell phone and looked at it again to make sure she didn't dial the wrong number.

"I was the one who called the police because there was someone dead inside," Kaia explained.

After the fire here was put out, Kudo Shinichi, who discovered the case, was invited into the restaurant. As Kudo Shinichi's entourage, Gu Qiyuan and the other two were also invited.

"Xiaolan, you haven't told me when you first met Mr. Kaia."

Suzuki Sonoko didn't know how she could help here, and there were several forensic officers crowded in such a small restaurant. Suzuki Sonoko was embarrassed to walk around and cause trouble for the police.

So Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing aside doing nothing, thought about the thing that she had not gotten an answer to just now.

"We just met this morning, Sonoko." Mouri Ran explained embarrassedly. She was really overwhelmed by the look on Suzuki Sonoko's face that indicated they were having an affair.

"Mr. Kaia came from America. It is said that he needs to live here for some personal reasons. He used to be an outstanding police consultant. After coming here, he continued his previous work. Today is his first day at work. Then Shinichi and I met Mr. Kaia because of the case this morning."

While listening openly to Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko explaining when she met Kaeya, Gu Qiyuan also inferred from Mao Li Ran's words that Kaeya should now be considered a policeman.

Although he is only an extra-staff consultant, he has to go to the crime scene with Megure Jusan to investigate the incident.
