"A queen of the legal profession, don't you even have an assistant? Can you manage all this by yourself?"
Hearing Yukiko's words, Eri Kisaki looked up, took off her frameless glasses, rubbed her slightly sore eyes, and said helplessly:
"Of course I have an assistant, but she has some family matters to attend to these past few days and has taken leave. I haven't had time to find a temporary assistant yet."
"Oh, is that the little girl? I remember her."
Yukiko casually picked up a slice of watermelon from the table, put it in her mouth, and mumbled something indistinctly.
His unreliable behavior made Eri roll her eyes.
"Let's talk about you. What? Aren't you planning to go back yet?"
"No rush, I haven't had enough fun yet. Besides, there are a lot of interesting things happening lately, let's play for a few more days."
"whatever."
Eri Kisaki casually replied.
She's gotten used to her best friend; when she's reliable, she really is, but when she doesn't want to be serious, she's more playful than a child.
Just as she was about to continue her work, Eri Kisaki remembered something and looked up again, speaking:
"By the way, what's the situation between you and that thief?"
"What thief?"
Yukiko mumbled her reply while eating fruit.
"Don't play dumb, you know who I'm talking about."
Eri Kisaki spoke with a serious expression, her aura as a queen of the legal world still showing a touch of solemnity even in front of her old friend Yukiko.
"Ok."
Seeing her serious expression, Yukiko stopped pretending to be naive: "We just bumped into each other at a bar and then had a meal together."
"You guys even ate together?!"
Eri Kisaki looked shocked.
"That's an internationally wanted criminal! And you still dared to have dinner with him!"
"It's not as scary as you think." Yukiko waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned.
"I felt that this person was quite good. He was elegant, interesting, and had exceptional conversation and knowledge. He was much more interesting than Yuzaku. If I hadn't been married, I would have really wanted to pursue him directly."
"Uh...heh..."
Eri Kisaki smiled helplessly, not taking it to heart, and simply said:
"Didn't you say you wanted to drink the really good coffee at the coffee shop downstairs? I just called Chen Jun downstairs, and he'll bring the coffee up in a bit."
"She's truly my best friend; she's so reliable when it comes to getting things done!"
"Stop joking around and hurry up and help me organize the data. I'm exhausted without an assistant."
"okay!"
……
Time passed slowly.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Feng has been quite free these past few days, either feeding Xiaobai or minding the shop, which is very relaxing.
In the past few days, the matter of Chen Feng returning the stolen Amoeite Ring has completely subsided.
People throughout Japan, especially in Beika City, often talk about this during their leisure time.
After all, when Chen Feng was in the United States, although he returned the treasures he had obtained, it was still thousands of miles away, so it always felt like listening to a story.
But this time was different. The Amoeite Ring, a treasure of the Beika City Museum, worth over 20 billion yen, was returned, which still caused quite a stir.
Some people even spontaneously formed a "Kidd fan club," completely disregarding the fact that he is an internationally wanted criminal whom the FBI hates to the core.
It was afternoon.
Inside the Dongdu Amusement Park.
Sonoko was standing alone in front of the roller coaster ticket window, hands on her hips, sulking.
"They agreed to meet at 4:30 PM, but no one was on time! It's infuriating!"
"what--!!!"
Another roller coaster ride passed by, and the screams of the passengers on board drew the attention of everyone in the park. I wonder what they were thinking.
Just then.
Suddenly, a crisp snap of fingers rang in my ears, and the next second, a bright red rose was presented to me.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, ma'am."
Upon hearing the sound, Sonoko turned around and saw Chen Feng's delicate face, instantly calming down her anger.
He simply accepted the flowers, then said stubbornly, "Mr. Chen, it's not a good habit to keep a lady waiting for so long."
"Sorry, sorry, I went to buy a drink, it took me a while."
Chen Feng smiled and handed the drink in his hand to Yuanzi.
Sonoko didn't refuse and took it from Chen Feng's hand: "In that case, it can be considered a valid excuse."
Just then.
A familiar voice came from not far away, which made Chen Feng and his companion turn their heads to look.
Shinichi Kudo, whom we had seen before, was walking towards us together with Ran Mouri, muttering something to themselves.
"Xiao Lan, do you know? When Holmes first met his assistant Watson, he only shook hands with him, but he knew that Watson was a military doctor and that he came from the Afghan battlefield."
Shinichi Kudo spoke excitedly, as if he had endless things to say about Sherlock Holmes.
In contrast to him, Xiaolan didn't seem very interested in it, only managing a forced smile and nodding occasionally in response.
Seemingly afraid that Ran wouldn't believe him, Shinichi Kudo looked around and then directly grasped the hand of a woman next to him.
"Like this, miss, have you ever practiced gymnastics or been a gymnast?"
"what?"
The woman whose hand was being held was stunned for a few seconds before looking at Shinichi Kudo with a puzzled expression:
How did you know? Do we know each other?
Before Shinichi Kudo could answer, Sonoko's voice came over.
"Hey, I thought this mystery fanatic only liked things related to detectives. When did he switch to being a hooligan?"
"Who! Who's being a pervert!"
Shinichi Kudo immediately became agitated and retorted with his mouth open.
"I wouldn't call it 'hooligan,' but Mr. Kudo, holding a lady's hand for so long doesn't seem like very polite behavior, does it?"
Chen Feng smiled and stepped forward, handing the other drink he had bought earlier to Xiao Lan, who was standing next to him.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry."
Reminded by Chen Feng, Shinichi Kudo quickly let go of the woman's hand, looking apologetic.
Fortunately, the woman didn't take it to heart and turned to leave.
……
Chapter 213 The Black Organization's First Appearance
Xiao Lan smiled and accepted the drink Chen Feng offered her.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"You're welcome, Miss Xiaolan."
As he spoke, Chen Feng snapped his fingers, and a purple rose immediately appeared in his hand.
"Here you go, madam. Your dress today is even more suited to roses."
"Thanks……"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Before Ran could reach out, Shinichi Kudo, who had been watching for a while, forced a smile and stepped forward, placing half of his body in front of Ran, seemingly to separate Chen Feng from her.
"Shinichi!"
Xiaolan, hands on her hips, called out in annoyance, "Why are you blocking my way?"
"Um...I...I think I just saw someone I know, so I couldn't help but take a step forward."
Shinichi Kudo scratched the back of his head and spoke with a smile.
"An acquaintance? What acquaintance?" Xiaolan looked around in confusion.
"Oh, I misread it. Okay, Xiaolan, now that everyone's here, let's go have some fun."
Seemingly to preempt Ran's next question, Shinichi Kudo quickly spoke up.
Without giving Xiaolan a chance to react, he quickly pulled her towards the interior of the amusement park.
"Hey, Shinichi, why are you in such a hurry?"
Before Ran could react, Shinichi Kudo had already dragged her several steps away. She could only give Chen Feng and the other man an awkward smile before continuing on her way.
"Hmm, Magician, it seems you haven't delivered your flowers yet."
Seeing Chen Feng still holding flowers, Sonoko walked up to him while drinking her beverage and made a teasing remark.
"Shh-"
Chen Feng placed his finger to his lips, a mysterious smile playing on his lips:
"Ms. Sonoko, please never question a magician's professionalism!"
As he spoke, Chen Feng placed the flowers he hadn't given away earlier in his palm, clasped his hands together, and covered the flowers.
