Chapter 69 Dinner
As for Tono Ning, he was also relatively unfamiliar with this kind of scene.
But there are also advantages to having more people.
At least Ai Huihara had help with cooking, and Mao Lilan and Sato Miwako were both enthusiastic to help.
Tono Ning was entertaining the guests outside.
Sitting on the familiar sofa, Conan was still silent.
He didn't regret lending the house to Tono Ning, but the feeling of "being a guest" in his own home reminded him of the organization.
It's very boring, you know.
Because the adults present except Dr. Agasa were all police officers, and the three little ones were particularly interested in solving cases, so the topic of conversation inevitably came to the daily routine of solving cases.
Takagi Wataru came up and threw a brick to attract jade, "Speaking of which, there was no case today."
He looked at Tono Ning, "By the way, Tono, remember to organize the files of yesterday's case when you go back to work tomorrow."
"Inspector Megure has officially closed the case as a natural death."
Conan became interested all of a sudden.
Natural death?
I, Conan, have never heard of it!
He asked directly and crisply, "Officer Takagi, what is that case?"
This is Takagi Wataru.
So, the general course of the case flowed into Conan's mind.
Higashino Ning did not stop him.
If it is true as he thought, this case is related to the organization, then let Conan take the lead and rush over, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
The clues for his promotion have been written very clearly, and he needs to fight with the organization and win before he can be promoted.
Instead of betting on big events such as the full moon chapter and the red and black chapter, it is really easier and more convenient to start with such a small case.
Besides, the big chapters are a bit too far away, and Higashino Ning's desire for progress has long been stirring, and the sooner the better.
After listening to Takagi Wataru's description, Conan thought suspiciously.
How to say it, this case feels a bit weird.
If you look at it from the perspective of natural death, it is really not strange that the president named Asuka Makoto has many alibis in his hands.
But once it is classified as a homicide case, then this president is the type who is more perfect and more suspicious.
As he thought about it, Conan's thinking began to sync with Tono Ning.
As a user of APTX-4869, he also learned about the effects of this drug from Haibara Ai, so it's okay for him to guess secretly.
Of course, he thought in this direction not entirely because he was confused by the thought of the Black Organization, but because Haibara Ai told him about encountering Gin on the road at school.
Now it seems that even the time is consistent.
"It is necessary to investigate further."
Conan made a decision after careful consideration.
If this case is really related to the organization, it would be a pity to miss it.
However, he has to wait for the investigation, because he has more important things to do now-face the confrontation with Kaito Kidd!
Before, he met Kaito Kidd when he went out with Suzuki Sonoko to attend a netizen meeting.
Before leaving, the other party left a sentence like "When the bell rings at the end of the century, we will meet again."
This time, the signature on Kaito Kid's letter was "The Magician of the End of the Century".
The chat continued.
The dinner was also grandly presented with the concerted efforts of the three women.
However, before the dinner officially began, another person came to visit.
The one who came was Shiratori Renzaburo.
Since the "surrender" signal had already been sent, it was impossible for Dong Ye Ning not to call him.
It was just that he didn't expect that the young master of the Shiratori family would really come.
Soon, the European-style long table was filled with dishes.
Sato Miwako blushed and introduced which dishes were made by her, and which dishes were made by Xiaolan and Haibara Ai.
During the introduction, she praised Mao Lilan and Haibara Ai, claiming that the little loli was the best child she had ever seen, and it was embarrassing to make fun of Haibara Ai.
"Then please eat." Dong Ye Ning said to eat, and everyone said in unison, "I'm starting!"
Shiratori Renzaburo attacked the dishes made by Sato Miwako as soon as he came up, and he was not stingy with praise, "Officer Sato's cooking skills are really good."
He chewed and tasted carefully, "This taste is comparable to the Michelin chef hired by my family, very delicious."
Then he praised it in detail from the taste, appearance and other aspects, and finally sighed, "Whoever can marry Officer Sato in the future will be so happy."
Takagi Shizuo, who knows nothing and can only eat silently, can't help but imagine the warm scene of Sato Miwako wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen, and him helping on the side.
As a result, Sato Miwako's next words directly brought him back to reality.
"Really..." Sato Miwako used a public spoon to scoop herself a little, "Then Officer Shiratori must leave a place for me in your bride selection."
Shiratori Renzaburo chuckled noblely, "No problem, I'm happy to do it."
Takagi Shizuo's brain crashed.
So...so...
"So Officer Sato has already had feelings for Officer Shiratori?"
Takagi Shigeru suddenly lost his appetite and his mind was blank.
Higashino Ning sighed, but he didn't know how to say anything for his good brother.
In the eyes of Sato Miwako, she just said that in response to Shiratori Renzaburo's "joke".
When eating someone else's food, you must praise their cooking skills.
After the adults finished praising, the three children also started to praise.
And when she found that Takagi Shigeru was suddenly a little uninterested and emotionally insensitive, Sato Miwako took the initiative to pick up some food for Takagi Shigeru to show her concern, and instantly saved Takagi Shigeru.
The atmosphere of the dinner was generally very good.
After dinner, everyone began to get up and say goodbye.
Seeing Sato Miwako and Shiratori Renzaburo walking together, Takagi Shigeru lowered his head and went to drive by himself.
To be honest, compared with Shiratori Renzaburo, he has no competitiveness.
But just when he was about to start the car, Sato Miwako ran over, knocked on the car window, and asked in confusion: "Takagi, you are not going to wait for me?"
Takagi Shigeru blinked, "Officer Sato, aren't you going to go back with Officer Shiratori?"
The car door opened.
Miwako Sato sat in and fastened her seat belt. "No, we just talked about tomorrow's work arrangements."
"Although he did say he would take me home, but..."
She stretched her body wantonly, her tone lazy, "Sure enough, it's more comfortable to sit in your car."
...
Kudo's house.
In just a few minutes, there were only four people left here.
The two extra ones were Ran Maoli and Conan.
Ran Maoli stayed to ask about Kudo Shinichi.
Although Conan was nervous and ready to speak up when needed, there was nothing wrong with Tono Ning's words.
Just one piece of information: Kudo Shinichi was following up on a very important secret case outside and couldn't get away for a short time.
Ran Maoli relaxed a lot after hearing this, and then smiled and waved goodbye, leading Conan away.
After a while,
Huiyuan Ai, who was lying on the sofa, sighed, "It's so quiet all of a sudden."
Dong Ye Ning nodded, "Take a shower after you've rested. Put your clothes there, and I'll wash them later."
Huiyuan Ai sat up straight and said angrily, "Stupid! I can wash myself!"
Dong Ye Ning shrugged, "Then can you help me wash mine?"
Huiyuan Ai: "..."
She jumped off the sofa expressionlessly and ran straight to the bathroom, muttering softly, "Wash yourself, I don't want to help."
After that, she added in her heart:
"Unless we are together one day."
