On the third and last day of the consecutive vacation, Mao Lilan invited Shimizu Hongye to visit the Maori Detective Agency.

This invitation was sent when she left Kudo's house yesterday, and Shimizu Hongye did not refuse.

Because she now needs to have more contact with the outside world, staying inside the house all the time won't do her much good.

Moreover, Shimizu Hongye had seen the shadow of Nohime on Mao Lilan before, so he had another reason not to be disgusted with contact with the other party.

So after waking up in the morning and having breakfast with Okiya Subaru, Shimizu Koye told him that she was going out.

"Do you need me to take you there?" Okiya Subaru put the bowl on the empty plate and glanced at her.

"Do not bother."

Shimizu Hongye shook her head, and took out her mobile phone from her pocket: "Xiao Lan has already told me the address, I can find the place by following the navigation."

"also."

Hearing what she said, Okiya Subaru didn't insist anymore, but stood up and put the tableware into the kitchen: "If you have any trouble, you can call me anytime."

"okay."

Shimizu Hongye responded, and followed him to bring her bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Okiya Subaru asked her to put the bowl in the sink: "This is good, and then leave it to me. You can go out."

"OK then."

Shimizu Hongye put down the hands she was about to roll up her sleeves, and nodded to him: "Then I'm going out."

"Well, be careful on the road." Okiya Subaru took out an apron from the side cabinet and put it on, and tied a beautiful bow around his waist with his backhand.

"Okay." Qingshui Hongye glanced at the thin calluses on his hands, and quickly looked away.

She thanked Okiya Subaru, then turned and walked out of the restaurant, but she didn't ignore his sideways glance.

Shimizu Hongye raised her hand as if she was tidying up the mess in her hair, but it was actually covering up the upward curve of her lips.

She left Kudou's house soon, took the mobile phone and followed the route guided by the GPS positioning map on it to the Mori Detective Agency.

This kind of usage of the mobile phone was taught by Shimizu Hongye temporarily to Yaken Toshiro last night, otherwise she really didn't know there was such a convenient thing.

Should it be praised that it is indeed hundreds of years later?

Shimizu Hongye tilted her head, she seemed to be in a good mood, the sun just shone down, printing her figure on the wall beside her.

-

It took Shimizu Koye a little over half an hour to walk from Kudo's house to the Mori Detective Agency, which wasn't too long, but it made her feel a little tired.

Having such a weak body is not a good thing for Shimizu Hongye, so standing in front of the Maori Detective Agency, her first reaction was to decide to take some time to take care of her body and then do physical exercise.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult for the guy who encounters any trouble.

Although Qingshui Hongye still can't feel any big monsters nearby, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making more preparations for everything.

She stared at the frosted glass on the door for a while, and when no one opened the door or even responded, she picked up her phone and took another look.

"It's been 5 minutes." Shimizu Hongye frowned unhappily.

She tapped the ground with her toes impatiently, and just when she was about to turn around and leave, she heard an unfamiliar male voice.

"Are you looking for Maori teacher?"

Shimizu Koye followed the sound and looked down the stairs, and saw a man with light blond hair and dark skin standing there, holding a broom in his hand.

Seeing her staring at him without speaking, Toru Amuro smiled kindly, and asked again: "Are you here to see Teacher Mori?"

"I'm looking for Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan."

Shimizu Hongye walked down the stairs, and stood on the top of the steps to achieve the goal of looking at him at the same level: "But it seems that no one is there."

"Ms. Maori went out to do some errands early this morning."

Amuro looked at her: "Are you Miss Xiaolan and Conan-kun's friend?"

"friend……"

Shimizu Hongye repeated the word in a low voice, something flashed in his eyes: "It's sort of."

"Why don't you call and ask?"

Toru Amuro took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "If you ask, you will know where they went, right?"

"Um……"

Seeing his movements, Shimizu Hongye realized that the mobile phone is still useful. She was about to call Mao Lilan when she paused again.

She didn't save the other party's number.

"Give you!"

Toru Amuro handed her the mobile phone, and got a thank you, and soon Mao Lilan's voice came from the receiver.

"Hey?"

"Xiao Lan, it's me."

Shimizu Hongye glanced at Amuro Toru's smiling eyes: "I've arrived, but there seems to be no one in your house."

"Have you arrived, Hongye!?"

Mao Lilan spoke out in surprise, and immediately felt very guilty: "I'm sorry, Conan may have gone to play with a classmate. I received a call from my father before, saying that I forgot to bring my wallet, so I rushed over to give him the wallet."

"Never mind. When will you be back?"

"I just gave my wallet to Dad and I'm getting ready to come back!"

Mao Lilan didn't expect that Shimizu Hongye would arrive so early. When she saw the note on the phone screen, she couldn't help but be taken aback: "Isn't this Mr. Amuro's number?"

"Mr. Amuro..."

Shimizu Hongye subconsciously looked at the man who was cleaning the door of the coffee shop downstairs: "Someone borrowed my mobile phone just now, and I don't have your number."

"I forgot to give it to you...!"

Only then did Mao Lilan remember, and quickly quickened her pace: "I'll be right back!"

"Well, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the call, Shimizu Hongye also walked to Toru Amuro, and handed the phone back: "Thank you."

"It's okay, you are their friend."

Amuro put the phone back, asked her the whole story, and continued: "Since they are on their way back, during this period, do you want to come in and sit in the store?"

Shimizu Hongye looked at him, then looked at the storefront with "Coffee Poirot" written on the side, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Amuro bent slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to her: "Then, please come with me."

Shimizu Hongye followed him into Poirot Cafe, and sat down by the window.

Toru Amuro asked her to wait, and went back to the utility room to put down the broom and shovel. After washing his hands, he put on the waiter's apron and walked out, holding the menu in his hand.

Shimizu Hongye took a casual look and ordered a cappuccino.

When Toru Amuro returned to the counter to make, she also began to look at this small shop with a simple and clean decoration style. She didn't look back at Toru Amuro until she was put down a cup of latte art coffee with the shape of a kitten in front of her. Body: "Is Mr. Amuro alone in this store?"

"There are fewer people in the morning, so I am the only one on duty today."

He was not surprised by Shimizu Hongye calling out his last name, but introduced himself in a friendly way: "Although Miss Xiaolan told you my name, I'd better introduce myself. My name is Amuro Toru ,first meet."

"Shimizu Hongye." She nodded her head as a greeting: "Nice meeting, Mr. Amuro."

Amuro returned a smile: "It's better to drink cappuccino while it's hot."

Shimizu Hongye looked into his eyes, and closed her eyes after a while: "Can you chat with me, Mr. Amuro?"

"of course."

Toru Amuro sat on the seat directly opposite her, and under Shimizu Koye's questioning, he began to chat with her about the Mori Detective Agency.

He talked about famous detectives Mori Kogoro, Mori Ran, Edogawa Conan, and even recent cases, and Shimizu Hongye also revealed his own affairs.

After hearing that she was living in Kudo's house now, Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was a very small gesture, but Shimizu Hongye noticed it, and calmly took a sip of cappuccino: "That's why I met Xiaolan and Conan."

"I see."

Toru Amuro nodded approvingly: "I heard that there seems to be another person living there."

"Yeah. Thanks to Mr. Subaru, I was able to quickly adapt to my current life."

Qingshui Hongye raised her eyes, looked at the door that was pushed open and made the sound of wind chimes: "Xiaolan."

"Red leaves!"

Mao Lilan trotted over, her breath still a little disordered: "I'm sorry, I kept you waiting for so long!"

She shook her head: "I had a good chat with Mr. Amuro."

"Good morning, Miss Xiaolan."

"Mr. Amuro, you can just call me Xiaolan..." Mao Lilan waved her hand.

Toru Amuro nodded his head, not knowing whether he had heard it or not, he stood up in the next second and made way for her.

"By the way, the cream stew I made earlier should be ready too. Do you want to try it?"

He raised the index finger of his right hand to the side of his face: "Take it as a test dish for me!"

"is it okay?"

Catching Mao Lilan's gaze, Amuro nodded with a smile: "Of course. Wait for me for a while."

After speaking, he turned around and walked over to the bar.

"Mr. Amuro is really a good person..."

Mao Lilan turned her head back, just at the scene where Shimizu Hongye looked down at the palm of her right hand, wondering: "What's wrong, Hongye?"

"fine."

She brought this topic up with a smile, picked up the coffee cup she was facing, and chatted with Mao Lilan while waiting for Amuro to come.

During the period, Shimizu Koye occasionally glanced at Toru Amuro who was working there, but it was just a casual glance, which was not easy to be noticed by others.

From just now, she noticed the faint resemblance between Toru Amuro and Subaru Okiya, as well as the similar calluses in their palms.

There should be many secrets in this group of people.

Shimizu Hongye looked at the white and innocent girl in front of her, who was smiling like a flower because she said something interesting, and drank the last sip of coffee.

It is well protected.
