Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Mr. Chen, we'll be neighbors from now on."

"It is an honor to be neighbors with the renowned Queen of the legal profession, Ms. Eri Kisaki."

Chen Feng still had that gentle smile, which made people feel very comfortable.

Ran Mouri also spoke up with a grin:

"Then... next time I come to my mom's place, I can have coffee at Chen Jun's place."

"If Miss Ran is willing, I welcome her anytime. Of course, so is Mr. Shinichi Kudo."

"Ok?"

Suddenly called upon, Shinichi Kudo looked up at Chen Feng, then grinned as if he had remembered something.

"Coffee, huh? Speaking of which, Holmes and Watson also drank coffee when they first met. I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested in deduction?"

"This guy..."

Upon hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, Ran Mouri's face darkened.

This guy really can... link everything to Sherlock Holmes...

"As for mystery novels, I occasionally read that type," Chen Feng replied politely.

Anyone could tell this was just a polite remark, but Shinichi Kudo, whose IQ was off the charts and whose EQ was practically nonexistent, was beaming with excitement, as if he had found a common interest.

"Mr. Chen, you must also read Sherlock Holmes novels, right? If you don't mind, we can exchange ideas more often in the future."

"of course can."

Chen Feng smiled and said, while adding in his mind: "If you can come in the future."

After all, he arrived at the perfect time; there was less than a month left until Gin's devastating blow that shattered the river of time.

If Shinichi Kudo can still come over in a month, Chen Feng wouldn't mind having a coffee and chatting with him. Of course, if it's Conan, then forget it, since... coffee isn't good for kids, haha.

After a brief chat, Chen Feng left. He had only just taken over the coffee shop and had a lot of trivial matters to handle.

Ran Mouri tried her best to persuade Eri Kisaki to have a meal with Kogoro Mouri, but was rejected by Eri. She then left with Shinichi Kudo in frustration.

Only after everyone had left, leaving Eri alone in the office, was the door to her bedroom, which was connected to the office, finally opened.

A beautifully made-up face peeked out from inside.

"They're all gone?"

"They've all left."

Eri replied helplessly.

Having received this answer, the bedroom door was finally pushed open completely, and the person inside peeked out. Only after confirming that it was just her and Eri Kisaki in the entire office did she feel completely at ease.

She let out a long sigh and said, "Why don't you hurry up? I haven't dared to move for so long, I'm about to suffocate!"

"Ms. Fujimine Yukiko, this is inheritance, not buying cabbage. Do you think I can just rush it?"

Eri Kisaki replied irritably.

"Okay, okay, I misspoke. I apologize..."

Yukiko walked up to Eri with a wronged expression.

That aggrieved expression, almost to the point of tears, might have been believed by Eri Kisaki if she hadn't known the person in front of her so well.

"Okay, stop pretending."

"Oh, okay."

Yukiko's ability to instantly regain control of her composure and expressive demeanor is truly remarkable, befitting a former superstar in the entertainment industry. Her acting skills are truly exceptional.

"Tell me about yourself, why did you suddenly come back from the US? Where's Yusaku? Didn't he come back?"

"Don't mention him!"

It would have been better if Kudo Yusaku hadn't been mentioned; as soon as he was, Yukiko's face immediately fell.

"All this guy does is write his detective novels. I think he should just stay in his detective novels! I came back without telling him! Let him worry for a few days first!"

"So you've even disappeared with your own son?"

Eri Kisaki continued speaking.

"Shinichi..."

Yukiko rested her chin on her hand, thinking for a moment:

"This kid is getting less and less fun as he grows up. Just like his dad, all he does is play detective and deduce things all day. I really miss Shinichi when he was a kid, he could do whatever he wanted..."

Hearing this, Eri Kisaki's lips twitched.

So you had children just for fun?

Eri thought to herself, "Then you can stay here for now. I'll have Yusaku pick you up in a couple of days."

"do not want!"

Yukiko stood up from the sofa, her face full of refusal: "I've finally come back to Japan, I'm going to have a good time for a few days. Besides, let that guy worry for a few days first."

"You...you two are husband and wife, what kind of business is it for you to keep living here?"

"What's wrong with that? You and Kogoro also..."

Don't mention him!

Before he could finish speaking, Eri interrupted him directly: "Forget it, I'm not going to get involved in your affairs anymore. You can stay here and go back when you get tired of it."

……

Meanwhile, Chen Feng had already arrived at the coffee shop.

The café was fairly well-organized, and the decor suited Chen Feng's taste, which saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After tidying up briefly, Chen Feng returned to the bedroom behind the shop.

She pulled open the clothes in front of her and said softly, "Xiaobai, come out."

"Cuckoo?"

As Chen Feng finished speaking, a small head popped out from Chen Feng's arms, curiously looking around.

"This will be our new home from now on. Have some bread for today, and I'll buy you some crayfish tomorrow."

"Cuckoo-"

Seemingly understanding Chen Feng's words, Xiao Bai stretched its neck and rubbed its head against Chen Feng's clothes, looking very affectionate.

"Haha, good boy."

Chen Feng smiled and broke the bread he had prepared for Xiaobai into pieces, placing them in its bowl.

He then sat down on the sofa and started looking at his phone.

The search terms were naturally things like recent cultural relic exhibitions in Beika City.

As his first move in the "law-abiding" Beika Town, he had no intention of being perfunctory and naturally wanted to carefully select a target.

Chen Feng leisurely browsed through recent news and promotional information from the organizers, eventually stopping at a news page.

Looking at a promotional photo of a private exhibition on his phone, Chen Feng slowly smiled.

The first target has been found!

……

PS: To answer a question about the timeline, my understanding is that the timeline was relatively normal before Kudo became Conan, and it only became chaotic later. So, if there is less than a month left until Gin's blow, then it is less than a month and will not be extended.

Chapter 197 Miwako Sato

The next day, around noon.

Chen Feng was tidying up the things in the coffee shop. To put it simply, he was taking out the old items and throwing away the moldy or stale coffee beans.

Then replace it with fresh coffee beans.

Just as Chen Feng finished tidying up, the coffee shop door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman's voice came from the doorway:

"Oh dear? I remember the owner of this coffee shop was a middle-aged man. When did the owner change?"

Hearing the noise, Chen Feng turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with big, innocent eyes standing at the door with a puzzled look on her face. She would occasionally look up at the sign at the door, as if she was wondering if she had gone to the wrong store.

"Hello, I am the new owner of this shop. The previous owner was my uncle, but he passed away a few months ago."

Chen Feng put down what he was holding and smiled at the person who had come.

"Oh, I see. I was wondering why this shop had been closed for so long. It's such a shame."

The newcomer nodded politely to Chen Feng: "My name is Sato Miwako, and I'd say I'm a regular customer here."

"Nice to meet you, Officer Sato, my name is Chen Feng."

Chen Feng politely shook hands with the person in front of him.

"I'm so happy! Oh, you know me?"

Sato Miwako looked at Chen Feng with a surprised expression.

"of course."

Chen Feng continued without any hesitation, "How could I not know Ms. Sato Miwako, who is known as the 'Flower of the Beika City Metropolitan Police Department'?"

"You're too kind. Those are just names that other people made up."

Sato Miwako blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject: "I wonder if you've already opened for business?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Sato, I just arrived here and haven't had time to buy coffee beans or anything like that yet. The ones I had earlier aren't fresh anymore, so..."

"Ok."

Miwako Sato was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't say anything more.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard the second half of Chen Feng's words:

"However, I also have some coffee beans here for my own consumption. If Miss Sato doesn't mind..."

At this point, Chen Feng paused slightly and looked in the direction of Sato Miwako.
