Hearing Chen Feng say that, Fu Lingling couldn't help but burst out laughing, her bright eyes lifting slightly: "Aren't you also a detective? By making such a comment, aren't you including yourself in the discussion?"
Chen Feng didn't reply, but gave her a smile before walking forward.
Perhaps because of the incident where that phantom thief named Rattlesnake sneaked in last time, Director Luo used the excuse that the museum needed to be reorganized to suspend the exhibition activities in the main exhibition hall where the gem "Blooming Ocean Rose" is located.
At this moment, the huge main exhibition hall only had about twenty members of the pursuit team and a dozen museum security personnel, which made the spacious hall seem very empty.
Chen Feng walked forward as if observing, his fingers lightly tracing the glass display cases, while his eyes scanned the surroundings.
"What are you looking at!"
Fu Lingling caught up again and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder from behind.
Chen Feng smiled at her: "I need to have a good understanding of the terrain and have a general idea of where those two thieves will come from and what escape route they will take, right?"
Chen Feng's gaze swept across the surrounding glass display cases, while he slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the air exhaust fan above the "Blooming Ocean Rose" display case. After staring at it for half a second, he looked away.
"So serious? Shouldn't Captain Sun give you a raise?"
Fu Lingling joked with a smile.
Chen Feng smiled, but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Lin Chuanxiong, who was not far away, smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Sun Luo beside him and found that he was also staring in Chen Feng's direction.
"No way? Old Sun, you still doubt him? I think Xiao Qing is a good kid, thoughtful and kind. It's just that his smile... I don't know why, but it makes me want to punch him."
"But that doesn't matter. All his tests came back normal. Instead of doubting him, you should focus your attention on Wendy!"
Hearing Lin Chuanxiong's words, Sun Luo raised his eyes, said nothing, and simply nodded slightly.
It's clear that even after such a long time, Chen Feng's announcement still puts a lot of pressure on him.
Everyone was busy from morning until about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Basically, it involves surveying the specific terrain, recording and calculating routes that the two phantom thieves might use, as well as other risks, and assigning and deploying personnel on site.
Of course, with such a large venue and so many things to do, it's impossible to manage everything in a short time. Fortunately, there are still a few days before the museum officially opens, so there's plenty of time.
Inside the elevator, Fu Lingling pulled Chen Feng in first, her smile impossible to hide.
Today was the first time she had invited Chen Feng to have dinner together later. Although Chen Feng declined, he agreed to have a drink with her.
The other team leaders followed closely behind.
Lin Chuanxiong and Sun Luo walked at the very back.
When Lin Chuanxiong also entered the elevator, the already full elevator finally emitted a sharp "beep beep" alarm.
"Um...is it full?"
Lin Chuanxiong scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to have been just this many people before.
Just because they freeloaded someone's lunch here? They didn't even eat... much, did they?
Lin Chuanxiong let out a very inappropriate burp, his old face turning red. The people in the elevator wanted to laugh but covered their mouths, trying very hard to hold it in.
Sun Luo then stepped out of the elevator and said with a smile, "You guys go ahead, Captain Lin and I will look around a bit more before we leave."
"Goodbye, Captain."
"Goodbye."
Lin Chuanxiong and Sun Luo stood at the elevator door and said goodbye to everyone. Only when the elevator door slowly closed and blocked everyone's view did people turn their attention away.
"This Uncle Lin, he's so old, but he's still so shy," Fu Lingling joked in the elevator.
Chen Feng returned her smile, but said nothing. He merely glanced subtly at the top of the elevator before looking away.
"What would you like to drink later? Coffee? Milk tea?"
"I'll do as you say."
……
"welcome!"
As the familiar mechanical announcement sounded, Chen Feng and Fu Lingling entered the coffee shop.
Looking around, the decor is still in the classic European medieval style.
"Did they open for business without even changing the renovations?" Chen Feng thought, looking around with a slight chuckle.
"What would you two like to drink?"
Su Luoxue, who was sitting at the front desk, stood up, smiled, and spoke, still holding the newspaper she hadn't had time to put down. However, due to the angle, Chen Feng couldn't see the contents of the newspaper.
"Could you please recommend something to us? This is our first time here, and we don't know what your business is like," Fu Lingling said, standing next to Chen Feng.
"Ok."
Su Luoxue didn't think there was anything wrong with this request, and began to introduce the two:
"Our coffee is made with freshly ground coffee beans, and the taste may be a little different from most coffees on the market. Our caramel mocha and latte are our signature drinks."
"Sounds pretty good..."
Fu Lingling nodded and picked up the menu, but after just one glance, her eyes widened immediately: "188?! You're charging 188 for a cup of coffee? And it's just a regular latte? What kind of coffee beans are you using? Golden beans?"
Fu Lingling was greatly puzzled.
"Madam, our store has maintained this price since the last owner, and it has never changed."
Su Luoxue smiled and spoke, but when she mentioned the "previous shop owner," her gaze involuntarily fell on the newspaper on the table before quickly looking away and continuing to smile at the two of them.
"Then your previous owner must have been desperate for money..." Fu Lingling muttered unhappily.
"Two lattes, please."
"Hey……"
Fu Lingling tried to stop him, but Chen Feng calmly stopped her, saying, "I'm here to invite you, as a way of thanking Captain Fu for taking care of me these past few days."
Fu Lingling looked embarrassed and clutched the corner of her clothes with her right hand: "There's nothing special about taking care of each other, it's just mutual help. By the way, don't call me Captain Fu anymore, just call me Lingling."
"Okay." Chen Feng nodded with a smile.
Su Luoxue assumed they were just a young couple and smiled as she prepared to print out the receipt. However, when she inadvertently glanced at Chen Feng's face, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
……
Chapter 476 True Identity?
It looks like him! It looks like someone! Chen Feng!
No! To be precise, it's not like Chen Feng, but rather Chen Feng's other identity, the one he's been disguising for nearly a year—Yasen!
"And your coffee..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Lingling noticed Su Luoxue's gaze. Following her gaze, she glanced at Chen Feng beside her, her brows furrowing immediately. Without making a sound, she took a half-step forward, blocking most of Su Luoxue's view.
Seemingly noticing the other person's actions, Su Luoxue snapped out of her reverie and gave the two of them an apologetic smile: "Is there anything else?"
"there is none left!"
Fu Lingling said unhappily, and then pulled Chen Feng to sit down at the table furthest from the counter.
However, her gaze kept glancing towards the receptionist where Su Luoxue was, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, and she said, "Why do I feel like she knows you?"
"Really?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
"Maybe it's just my imagination," Fu Lingling replied with a frown, glancing scrutinizing Su Luoxue's direction a few more times before slowly withdrawing her gaze with a look of doubt.
"Oh right, the fifth one."
Suppressing her doubts for the time being, Fu Lingling turned her gaze back to Chen Feng: "You've been abroad all this time?"
Chen Feng replied, "Yes, I've been here all along, but I only came back in the last few days."
What are you doing over there?
"Hmm... what exactly should we do..."
Chen Feng couldn't help but recall the images of several people, from the washing machine he interacted with most often, Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and his closest friends Akemi and Yukiko.
The final image focuses on Ai Haibara, who has a haughty and arrogant expression.
Before I left, I did my best to prepare all the materials she needed for her research. I wonder if that little one has made any breakthroughs in her research recently.
"Fifth? Fifth?" Seeing that Chen Feng didn't move, Fu Lingling called out several times in a row.
"Hmm?" Chen Feng snapped out of his reverie, looked at Fu Lingling again, and chuckled, "Do some research on pharmaceuticals, and sometimes get involved in police matters too."
"Drug research?"
Fu Lingling seemed quite surprised by this answer.
"Gentlemen, your coffee is ready."
Su Luoxue's voice rang out at this moment, and square trays containing coffee were placed in front of Chen Feng and Su Luoxue respectively: "Please enjoy."
Su Luoxue wore a signature smile and made a "please" gesture.
However, her gaze would still occasionally drift towards Chen Feng's direction, as if the doubts in her heart had not been resolved, or perhaps... she had already made some guesses.
"A cup of coffee that costs almost 200 yuan! I've never had anything that expensive before..."
Fu Lingling pouted and muttered to herself, it seemed that the price of 188 was indeed a bit hard for her to accept.
With a scrutinizing expression, he slowly brought the coffee to his lips and took a small sip.
"Ok?"
Fu Lingling paused for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "This taste..."
She took another sip of her coffee and finally said with certainty, "This tastes really good! It's completely different from the coffee I've had before!"
Chen Feng also took a sip of his coffee. The rich aroma stimulated his central nervous system, causing him to nod slightly.
Indeed, it tastes very good. It seems that leaving the recipe to Su Luoxue was the right choice.
"Boss, why is your coffee so delicious? Do you have some kind of secret recipe?" Fu Lingling asked with a curious look.
Su Luoxue didn't hide anything and smiled, "I do have the recipe, but it's not exclusive. A friend of mine left it to me before he went on a long trip."
As she spoke, Su Luoxue glanced at Chen Feng subtly a few times, but to her disappointment, Chen Feng did not react at all upon hearing her words.
