The call was from Eri Kisaki.
Ever since she tasted Chen Feng's coffee, she naturally fell in love with its flavor.
In addition, her income is already quite high, so even if Chen Feng sets the price high, she can still afford it.
So he would occasionally order a cup of coffee from Chen Feng's place.
Chen Feng skillfully brewed, seasoned, and packaged the already ground coffee, then put it in a paper bag, ready to deliver it personally.
To be honest, Chen Feng never considered himself a diligent person. On the contrary, he was quite lazy, otherwise he wouldn't have used high prices to filter customers.
Looking at the packaged paper bag in his hand, Chen Feng rested his chin on his hand.
He missed his little assistant, Lin Qingyao. If she were here, things would be much easier for him.
"I should probably find myself an assistant..."
Chen Feng muttered to himself, then shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it. He turned around, closed the shop door, and went upstairs.
at the same time.
At Fei Law Firm.
Ran was sitting on the sofa looking at Eri:
"mom."
"what happened?"
Eri Kisaki replied casually without even looking up.
"What have you thought about that incident from last time?"
"What do you mean, 'this time' or 'last time'? Which time?"
"that is……"
Just as Ran opened her mouth to speak, she was interrupted by Eri.
"Xiao Lan, wait a moment, I need to take this call."
Eri Kisaki spoke, then answered the ringing phone on the table.
Although Xiaolan wanted to say something more, she had no choice but to swallow her words and wait for Eri to finish her call.
"Hello? This is the Kiyoshi Law Firm. Who is this? Mr. Matsudaira? Is this about your estate division? I've already drafted the documents. You can come and pick them up tomorrow if you're free. Okay, that's all."
After hanging up the phone, Eri Kisaki looked in Ran's direction:
"What's wrong, Xiaolan? What were you trying to say?"
Xiaolan spoke again: "I want to ask about what I talked to you about in the exhibition hall yesterday. What have you thought about?"
"What exhibition hall?" Eri Kisaki was completely confused.
Xiao Lan panicked immediately, thinking her mother was pretending to be stupid and trying to fool her, and quickly said:
"It's the exhibition hall at Sonoko's house that you and Aunt Yukiko went to yesterday."
"Yesterday? With Yukiko? I was working at the agency all day yesterday, and I haven't seen Yukiko for several days. How could I have been with her yesterday?"
……
Chapter 229 Michiko
"Mom, you... stayed at the office all day yesterday?!"
Xiao Lan looked surprised.
The person who was with Aunt Yukiko yesterday was...
Xiao Lan's mouth opened slightly, and a name rose in her heart.
However, compared to the shock, Xiaolan felt more disappointed.
Judging from her mother's reaction yesterday, she thought the arduous task of having a family meal together was finally about to be accomplished, but she was wrong...
Xiaolan forced a bitter smile, seemingly lost in thought.
dong dong dong-
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Eri Kisaki also put down her pen and gently rubbed her neck.
"Xiao Lan, go open the door. It should be Chen bringing the coffee. Xiao Lan? Xiao Lan!"
"Uh...ah? I...I'll go right away."
Xiaolan nodded, realizing what was happening, and stood up from her seat, walking towards the door.
Eri looked puzzled by his strange behavior.
A short while later, the door opened, and Chen Feng appeared in front of Xiao Lan, holding two cups of takeout coffee in his hand.
"Chen Jun".
Xiaolan forced a smile and greeted them.
However, Chen Feng immediately noticed her unnatural expression and smiled as he spoke:
"You seem to have something on your mind, Xiaolan."
"Huh? No...no."
Xiaolan instinctively denied it.
But then, Chen Feng approached with a serious expression and looked Xiao Lan up and down, leaving Xiao Lan completely confused.
Half a minute later, Chen Feng finally spoke seriously:
"Miss, I think I smell a lie."
"Ha ha……"
Xiao Lan was amused by Chen Feng's funny antics.
He nodded and said, "There's no hint of a lie in it, it's just a small matter. I always update..."
Ran originally wanted to say, "I usually chat with Shinichi and then forget about him very quickly."
However, thinking of that guy who disappeared for more than a week without any reason, not answering phone calls or replying to text messages, as if he had vanished into thin air, I couldn't help but frown slightly.
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaolan changed her words to, "I usually forget about it after going out for a couple of walks."
"Ok."
Chen Feng nodded and handed over the coffee he was holding.
Xiao Lan reached out and took it, and just as she was about to speak again, she saw Chen Feng's hand reach out again.
With a gentle snap of her fingers, a red rose appeared before her.
"Miss."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "If anything happens, never choose to make things difficult for yourself. I don't want to see a sad expression on your face."
Xiao Lan was slightly taken aback when she saw the flowers Chen Feng presented, but she quickly came to her senses and reached out to take them.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen. I'll head over to deliver the coffee to my mom now. Bye-bye."
"Bye-Bye."
After saying this, the two didn't continue their conversation. Chen Feng turned around and went downstairs towards the coffee shop, while Xiao Lan took the two takeout cups of coffee to Eri's office.
"Why is it taking so long?"
Eri Kisaki rubbed her neck and spoke.
"I chatted with Chen Jun for a bit, which took up a little time," Xiao Lan replied casually, while reaching out to open the bag, taking out two cups of coffee, and placing them on the table.
"The temperature should be just right, come and drink, Mom."
"it is good."
Eri nodded, but as soon as she turned her head, she noticed the flowers in Ran's hand, and couldn't help but pause slightly, a smile playing on her lips:
"Did I spend money on you again?"
"what?"
Xiaolan glanced down at the flowers in her hand: "Mom, you know Chen Jun is a magician, so it's normal for him to give flowers to people casually, isn't it?"
"I see."
Eri nodded and said while drinking her coffee, "I thought you broke up with that kid from Yukiko's family. It's been so long since I've seen him."
"Shinichi..."
Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "He's been quite busy lately, investigating cases outside. But we keep in touch by phone, and Mom, we're not in that kind of relationship."
Xiaolan told a lie, and a fleeting look of disappointment crossed her eyes.
She didn't know what was going on with Shinichi either. She only knew from Professor Agasa that Shinichi was investigating a case in another city and wouldn't be back for a while. But why wasn't he answering his phone?
Xiao Lan was completely baffled.
Eri Kisaki didn't delve into it further, simply nodding and saying nothing more.
……
Another day later.
Around 1:30 a.m.
The area outside the Suzuki Building was already packed with fans who had come from all over to see Chen Feng's actions.
Hundreds or even thousands of men and women surrounded the Suzuki Building, completely blocking the intersections around it.
Holding up signs supporting Kidd and banners, the fans excitedly surveyed their surroundings, seemingly waiting for the white figure to appear.
Unlike the excitement of the fans at the scene, Inspector Nakamori, the commander in charge of stopping and arresting Kid, looked helpless.
Almost everyone knows that Kaito Kid is a master of disguise, and the large number of people gathered around him provides cover for Kid's actions, making the capture of him even more difficult.
Left with no other option, Officer Nakamori had to request backup from the Metropolitan Police Department, hoping they would send someone to maintain order at the scene.
