Yukiko was somewhat bewildered by the scene, and her anger subsided considerably without her realizing it.
At the same time, Chen Feng had already received a beautiful little box from a white dove.
He slowly approached Yukiko again, and without any hesitation, opened the box to reveal the exquisite ruby ring inside, which was none other than the Amoeite Ring.
"Madam, as an apology for my previous behavior, I will not take this ring with me."
As he spoke, Chen Feng lifted Yukiko's hand and slowly put the ring on her finger.
Perhaps knowing she was no match for the man in front of her, or perhaps feeling that Chen Feng meant no harm, Yukiko did not resist this time, but simply let Chen Feng put the ring on her finger.
"Indeed, this ring can only bring out its true charm when worn by the right person."
"It's just a pity that such a charming treasure was stolen by a thief."
Yukiko was not affected by Chen Feng's tenderness at all and immediately retorted.
"Ah……"
Chen Feng chuckled, completely ignoring Yukiko's words, and walked to the open window. The playing card pistol had somehow appeared in his hand.
Chen Feng glanced at Yukiko behind him and smiled as he spoke:
"Ms. Yukiko, you will probably understand soon enough that phantom thieves are much more charming than detectives."
Before Yukiko could even reply, Chen Feng pulled the trigger.
With a "whoosh," a steel cable flew out from the muzzle of the poker pistol and accurately secured itself to a protruding iron bar on the opposite building.
"Madam, I hope to see you at my next performance. Bye bye."
As soon as he finished speaking, the steel cable connecting him to the building across the street tightened, lifting Chen Feng off the building.
At the same time, inside the room, a white dove carrying a card in its beak flew to Yukiko's front.
After a slight hesitation, Yukiko reached out and took the card, the words on it immediately coming into view:
Even the most charming ring will lose its luster until it meets the right person. Besides... you and this ring are a perfect match.
— Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid.
Turning her gaze away from the card, Yukiko raised her hand to look at the Amoeite Ring on her left wrist.
"Is this the ring that's supposedly worth over two billion yen? Does that mean Shinichi's been tricked?"
Yukiko's face suddenly broke into a smile: "So this brat who's just like his dad has finally come to this. No way, I'm going to go see him make a fool of himself."
With that, Yukiko got up and walked towards the door.
Halfway there, he stopped again, turned to look in the direction Chen Feng had left, stared for a moment, then quickly looked away, opened the door and left the room.
……
Chapter 210 The Opening of the Coffee Shop
Day two.
Inside the coffee shop downstairs from Eri Kisaki's law firm.
Chen Feng, who had everything prepared, officially opened for business today.
However, as expected, although the store has a very good location, there are quite a few customers coming and going.
However, most people were scared off by Chen Feng's "unreasonable" pricing, so the shop hasn't sold a single cup of coffee since morning.
Chen Feng found some peace and quiet, sitting alone at the front desk reading a book; the store was deserted.
Until noon.
As the mechanical cat at the door announced "Welcome," Chen Feng looked up.
"Officer Sato, we meet again."
"Yes."
Sato Miwako rubbed her throbbing temples and spoke wearily.
After looking around the store, Sato Miwako didn't see a single customer and asked in bewilderment:
"You just opened? How come there isn't a single customer?"
"Hmm...maybe I'm selling them at a bit too expensive."
Chen Feng spoke ambiguously.
"I see."
Sato Miwako nodded, not thinking much of it, assuming it was just an excuse Chen Feng made to ease the awkwardness.
After all, how expensive can a cup of coffee be...? So expensive!
She had just found a seat when her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing the price list.
"A regular latte...4000 yen?! (That's about 200 RMB)"
This is just the most basic one; there's also a cappuccino for 5000 yen a cup and a mocha for 6000 yen a cup.
6000 yen! That's barely enough for half a day's wages to buy a cup of coffee.
Sato Miwako's lips twitched.
However, Chen Feng walked over at that moment.
Perhaps out of remorse for hypnotizing the other party last night, or perhaps out of genuine feeling, Chen Feng slowly began to speak:
"Miss Sato was a regular customer of my uncle's, and she's also my first customer. I won't charge you for the first time. What would you like to drink?"
"This is inappropriate! The money should still be paid!"
Sato Miwako refused without even thinking. She had her own principles, and she would never do something like getting something for free.
Of course, this is also to prevent malicious individuals within the Metropolitan Police Department from using this matter to attack him, accusing him of abusing his position as a police officer to oppress the public.
Then, Sato Miwako looked at the price list with a pained expression, her slender fingers reaching out and then retracting, hesitating for a long time before finally speaking:
"I'll have... a latte, please."
After saying this, Sato Miwako took out money from her wallet, counted out four thousand-yuan bills, and handed them to Chen Feng with a pained expression.
"Okay, just a moment."
Chen Feng wasn't the type to be pretentious. Seeing that she insisted on paying, he didn't refuse anymore. He simply took the money from her and went back to the front desk to make coffee.
Just then, the shop door was pushed open again, and Sonoko Suzuki's distinctive voice came in.
"Haha, that's hilarious! Xiaolan, did you see the news? Yesterday, that deduction fanatic got thoroughly fooled by Lord Kid! He prepared for so long, but he didn't even know where Lord Kid was, and his ring was stolen!"
"And those cops, they were all so well-prepared beforehand, but after all that work, they ended up arresting one of their own, Kidd! It's hilarious!"
Yuanzi, arm in arm with Xiaolan, walked into the store laughing and joking.
Hearing Sonoko's words, Ran felt somewhat helpless.
Ever since receiving news of Kid's successful operation, Sonoko has been like she's on steroids, chattering nonstop the whole way.
Not only did they ridicule Shinichi Kudo, but they also didn't spare the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department at the scene.
Thinking this, Xiaolan glanced around and saw Sato Miwako sitting in the coffee shop with a pale face. She quickly pulled Sonoko back and told her to stop talking.
"Officer Sato, we meet again. You're here for coffee too?"
Ran awkwardly stepped forward to greet Sato Miwako.
There was a hint of guilt in his words, as if he had been caught red-handed gossiping about someone behind their back.
Because of Shinichi Kudo, Ran is acquainted with some people in the Metropolitan Police Department, including Miwako Sato.
Hearing Ran's words, Miwako breathed a sigh of relief, calmed herself down, and then forced a smile before speaking:
"Yes, I come here during my lunch break to relax with a cup of coffee."
"Oh, I see."
"Xiao Lan!"
Sonoko's carefree voice came again: "Come over and see what you'd like to drink."
"Oh, here it comes."
Upon hearing the call, Xiaolan quickly ran to the front desk. Looking at the prices on the bill, she was startled by the exorbitant prices.
However, after considering Chen Feng's superb skills, it suddenly seemed much more reasonable.
Perhaps Mr. Chen added some precious ingredients, which is why it's so expensive...
Xiao Lan thought to herself.
As a wealthy woman, Yuanzi didn't have many such thoughts. She had drunk coffee that was even more outrageously priced than Chen Feng's coffee shop before, and having tried Chen Feng's coffee before, she felt it was worth the price.
"I'll have a mocha, half sugar, Ran. What do you want to drink?" Sonoko said.
"Huh? I..."
Looking at the high prices on the price list, Xiaolan hesitated slightly.
Seemingly noticing Xiaolan's hesitation, Chen Feng stepped forward and spoke with a smile.
"Friendly price, today's payment is waived, it's on me."
"Mr. Chen, this is inappropriate..."
Xiaolan gently shook her head.
"That's right, it's not right for the shop owner to treat you. Come on, I'll order for Xiaolan, a half-sweet mocha, your favorite."
As she spoke, Sonoko took out stacks of 10000 yen banknotes from her wallet, about ten of them (5000 RMB), and placed them on the table.
"Mr. Chen, please keep this for me. I can deduct the amount from it next time I come."
After saying that, he didn't give Xiaolan a chance to refuse and directly pulled her to sit down.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony, put away the banknotes, and turned to continue making coffee.
Sonoko continued chatting with Ran.
