The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1227 Hongye: Damn, you’ve tricked me

At this time, Fujino Yasuo raised his head, glanced at the group of girls who were attracted to him, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the crowd, and as he was looking, he saw two boys.

Fujino Yasuo laughed and said to Conan: "Little brother, do you want to try it?"

"what?"

Conan was suddenly called and looked around, wondering if it was someone else.

Fujino Yasuo confirmed: "Yes, it's you."

Conan waved his hands, looking embarrassed: "I'll just forget it!"

"What does it matter?"

Xiaolan pushed Conan, just like a parent pushing his child to participate in an activity: "Just go and give it a try!"

"OK then……"

Sonoko looked at Conan enviously as he walked up to make a cake with the handsome chef. She couldn't help but sighed softly, "So why did they choose Conan out of so many people..."

"Isn't this normal?"

Huihara Ai stood aside with a calm expression, and said in a light tone: "There are girls all around. Apart from Fujino, there is only one boy, Edogawa Conan. Going on stage to make cakes and so on..."

"If one girl is chosen in this situation, will the other girls be dissatisfied?"

"Yeah..."

Sonoko nodded, feeling that what she said made sense: "The other girls will definitely be unhappy, and then he will find it difficult to deal with it."

"So you might as well just pick a boy from the beginning, a kid at that, right?"

“That’s not quite right.”

Huihara Ai shook her head slightly in denial, "He chose a child because he didn't want the person trying it to succeed. If it was an adult, he might succeed right away, which would make him feel embarrassed, but it's different with a child."

"Even if a kid succeeds, they will only be told things like 'little brother, you have a future as a pastry chef'."

"No one would bother with a child."

"......?" Hongye showed a puzzled look on her face when she heard that, as if she had thought of something, such as 'no one would bother with a child' or something like that.

But before I could think about it carefully, I forgot about it again.

Maybe it's an illusion...

After hearing this, Sonoko thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, no wonder Conan was asked to do it!"

"But then again, Xiao Ai, you understand a lot of feelings." Hongye listened to what Huiyuan Ai said, thought about it, and felt that this was the truth. "I felt that the fairy tale before was a bit scary, but you were able to say it without any expression..."

"I just see Fujino a lot."

Huibara Ai said calmly, "None of these things are half as scary as a dead body or something."

"..." Hongye was silent for a moment after hearing this. She felt that the tone was exactly the same as Fujino's, as if she was Fujino's daughter.

So, he complained to his father just like a mother saw her daughter said something terrible.

He whispered to Fujino, "Fujiano, next time, don't take Xiao Ai to places that are not serious. Xiao Ai is almost becoming abnormal."

"..."

Fujino was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say. He secretly complained in his heart, "I also want to take her to fewer murder scenes, but this damn place of Mika doesn't allow that, okay?"

"But a murder scene...is it considered an improper place?"

“I feel quite serious…”

"Shit, I got led astray!"

When Fujino complained about this in his heart, he suddenly felt something was wrong and felt that he had been completely accustomed to this place called Mihua.

I'm obviously not a science student at all!

"Little brother, even though I failed, I did a pretty good job!"

At this time, Fujino Yasuo failed to make a cake with Conan, and then he showed the smile of a warm big brother and comforted him.

This warm-hearted demeanor and expression attracted admiration from countless girls around him.

After that, he raised his eyes again and said to Conan's parents: "By the way, are you still there for the afternoon activities?"

"I should be here, what's the matter?"

Fujino responded, and then Fujino Tainan smiled warmly and said, "I will decorate this cake and give it to you later, so I thought of asking."

"Oh, you want money?"

"..."

These words immediately silenced Fujino Yasuo.

He didn't understand that despite his good intentions, the other party cared about the money rather than the intention.

Ah this...

The people around were not surprised by this.

I can only say that Fujino (senior) is like this.

Fujino Yasuo smiled awkwardly: "It's free."

"Okay then, you really are a nice person with a nice personality and good looks. We'll come pick it up this afternoon."

"Let's go check out other stalls first."

Faced with the free cakes, Fujino generously praised the pastry chef who had the same surname as himself in this world, and then went to the last stall with a few others.

Unlike the other stalls which were occupied by adults, the last stall owned by a lady who claimed to be a 'magic' candy maker was attended by children.

Even Conan and Huihara Ai couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the candies displayed on the stalls:
"These animal candies are just like the real thing..."

"It's just like glass..."

Conan sighed beside him, while Haibara Ai leaned over to a red and blue dolphin candy and looked at it: "It's not an exaggeration to call it a work of art."

"Thank you!"

Tomomi Morimoto showed a simple smile. Her skin was a little dark, but still cute.

She picked up a rabbit candy and handed it to Huihara Ai: "It's not enough to just have a handicraft-like appearance. The taste is the key!"

Haibara Ai took the candy in the shape of a little rabbit and narrowed her eyes: "What's the bunny?"

"Yes, fresh from the oven."

As she spoke, Morimoto Tomomi took out another little rabbit and handed it to Conan: "Little brother, come and taste it."

Conan took the rabbit, hesitated for a moment, recalled Fujino's operation just now, and asked: "Is it free?"

Tomomi Morimoto: "..."

This child... is so well-educated.

I guess you must have been beaten by your family members many times for just taking food to eat?
Morimoto Tomomi smiled helplessly: "Of course it's free."

"That's it..."

Only then did Conan eat the rabbit with peace of mind.

Then he glanced at Huiyuan Ai beside him and said, "Hey, why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?"

"Do you want me to help you solve it?"

"..."

Huihara Ai showed a look of contempt: "Rabbit is so cute, how can you eat it?"

Conan: "???"

Morimoto Tomomi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, little sister, I'll give you another one."

As she spoke, she thoughtfully took out a piece of wrapping paper and said, "If you think it's cute, you can keep it for a while, but don't keep it for too long, otherwise the taste will change."

"By the way, don't put candy in your pockets, it will melt."

Tomomi Morimoto was like a caring elder sister, and she told Huihara Ai how to preserve the candies. It can be seen that she often interacts with children. After walking around the small kitchen of the three cake chefs, they went to the place that seemed to be a place for offering sacrifices, picked up the plates and started picking up the desserts.

Getting dessert is actually like getting something from a buffet.

However, you still have to pay at the checkout counter. Although there is a discount, the average price of one item is still around 1,000 yen.

However, considering the surrounding environment, one thousand yen is not expensive at all.

"Which one should I choose..."

“This seems like a good feeling.”

"This looks good too."

Xiaolan Hongye and Koizumi Hongzi were holding plates and standing in front of Maeda Tsuyoshi's stall, choosing cakes.

Yuanzi had finished choosing the cakes at this time, and came back and said to everyone, "You haven't finished choosing yet?"

"Garden?"

"Why did you take so much?"

Xiaolan looked at the plate of cakes piled up in Yuanzi's hand and couldn't help asking, "Can you finish all this?"

"Of course I can finish it!"

Yuanzi supported the plate with one hand and patted his not-so-rich chest: "There are so many delicious and beautiful things, of course I have to get one of all the categories!"

Xiaolan said speechlessly: "Don't forget that it's Senior Fujino who's treating us!"

Yuanzi was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "Wow, I forgot!"

Fujino and Huihara Ai came back at this time, holding a bag of candy that they had just bought and wrapped up by Ms. Morimoto: "Don't worry, the cakes here are not too expensive, only a few tens of thousands of yen, I can still afford it!"

"After all, Yuanzi, your family has given me a lot of commission money. It's amazing that you can make a profit!"

"If that's the case, I must eat well to make up for my investment!"

Sonoko nodded, cheered herself up and started to shop frantically at the cake stall.

Koizumi Hongzi carried the tray, picked up two pieces of cake, looked at Sonoko, and felt a little angry.

Feeling that she had paid so much and was at a disadvantage, she picked up several pieces of cake from the stall fiercely, then showed her dead fish eyes and looked at Fujino, unable to help but complain: "So, how come someone as stingy as you suddenly became generous?"

"Am I usually stingy?"

"..."

Koizumi Hongzi's expression remained the same, as if to say 'what do you think?'

Thinking back on how greedy this guy was, she felt that this should be the case.

Fujino pointed and said, "Well, my family entrusted me with 10 or 20 million yuan in commission. And I personally contributed tens of millions of yuan in commission. And you also contributed more than 10 million yuan."

"They are all distinguished guests, how can I be stingy?"

"..." Koizumi Hongzi fell silent after hearing this, and thought to herself: "No wonder..."

"Just to get good impressions and then to cheat for money, right?"

"So in your eyes we are all just mobile piggy banks?"

Koizumi Hongzi felt that the cake in her hand was no longer fragrant. She thought that even if she ate it to death, she would never be able to eat back all the money that was cheated out of her.

Sonoko picked up the food for a while, then looked at Conan's empty plate and said, "Hey, little brat, why aren't you picking it up?"

"Well...I can do it myself!"

…………

The dine-in location of Aikeliqiu Dessert Shop is outside.

After everyone picked up the cakes, they went out, and only Conan was still choosing inside.

After Fujino paid the bill, he threw 10,000 yen at him and told him to pick whatever he wanted.

Conan exclaimed: Brother Fuji is so generous!
"How is it? The cake is delicious!"

Yuanzi sat at a small table outside the dessert shop, digging into the cake with a spoon, and spoke to everyone.

“It’s really delicious…”

Xiaolan nodded and swallowed the scooped cake: "And after the discount, it looks very cheap."

Ooka Hongye agreed, "It's really good as a dessert for lunch, although the cream used is not very good and tastes a bit greasy."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Would you like some tea?"

"Tea?"

Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and tilted his head in confusion: "There is no one selling tea nearby."

"I mean have some sent over."

Hongye thought for a moment, "Iori should be nearby. He should have the tea I like to drink with him. I can just give him a call and he can bring it to me."

Yuanzi: "..."

Sometimes, even I, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, feel speechless.

Yuanzi didn't say anything, but just kept putting the cake into his mouth.

At this time, Fujino took out a teapot and tea set that could pour endless black tea from his pocket: "Don't bother Mr. Iori. I have some tea with me, although it's a little cold."

"Magic? That's really convenient..."

Hongye looked at the familiar teapot in Fujino's hand and said, "It would be nice if I could learn magic so I could make tea anytime and anywhere."

"No one except me can learn this."

Fujino smiled helplessly and could only say that he felt that it would be impossible for Hongye to learn this trick in her lifetime.

After all, his magic made use of two system props: the portable space and the endless teapot.

The Endless Teapot can be given to others.

But the portable space is completely bound to him.

Cannot be changed.

Fujino handed teacups to several people and filled them with tea.

The sunlight from the sky above the museum is blocked by the shadows of the trees above, making the shadows of the trees mottled and hazy.

Everyone drank lunch tea, ate desserts, and enjoyed the leisurely and comfortable atmosphere.

However, the behavior of one Miss Suzuki was not in line with this relaxed scene.

Hongye looked at Yuanzi who was eating the cake crazily. It was fine at first, but as she watched, she felt that he didn't stop. She gradually couldn't hold the tea in her hand: "Yuanzi... can you still eat?"

"Of course I can eat it."

Yuanzi licked the cream on the side of his mouth and said, "You won't feel full if you eat dessert like this!"

"I mean, you won't get fat?"

Hongye narrowed her eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of fear in her eyes: "If you eat so much cream, I guess you will gain weight soon."

"can you?"

Yuanzi scratched his head: "I don't feel anything. Normally, I eat the whole box."

"...?"

Hongye silently asked a question: "How do you stay in shape?"

“Do I still need to maintain my figure?”

Yuanzi was confused again and waved her fingers: "I don't usually keep in shape, I just play tennis after school..."

"..."

Hongye felt that she was being tricked by this Miss Suzuki.

She fell into deep thought as she thought about the one kilogram she had lost with great difficulty after controlling her diet and even canceling afternoon tea.
