I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

The two of them walked along the street, talking and laughing along the way, and unknowingly arrived at the shopping street near the office.

"Hey! Isn't this Xiaolan! I haven't seen you for several days!"

The proprietress of the vegetable shop saw the young and handsome couple at a glance and waved hello.

Her actions also attracted the attention of other shop owners.

They all knew about Xiaolan's move to Fei Yingli. After all, she had grown up here since she was a child, and she would come here to buy groceries every day.

Suddenly I haven't been here for a while, so naturally everyone will notice.

You must know that this is rice flower. A person who has been missing for two days inexplicably may have been buried in a deep mountain in Gunma County.

The worried people almost organized a group to go to Mouri Kogoro's house to ask for details, which almost scared the old father half to death.

After telling the news about their daughter's move, everyone felt relieved.

Besides, when Xiaolan goes to help her father clean the house every week, she will also stop by to buy some ingredients, make a few lunch boxes and put them in the refrigerator.

"It's been a long time since I saw you two young lovers shopping together!"

"Come on! Take these taiyaki and eat them!"

"Next week is your school's school festival! We have to go shopping then!"

The shopkeepers in the shopping district are very knowledgeable.

In addition to program preparation, the students themselves are also responsible for the promotion of the school festival.

There will be dedicated personnel holding homemade posters to publicize the event in residential and commercial areas near the school.

The (badc) shopping street near the detective office is naturally no exception.

The shopkeepers and uncles were as enthusiastic as ever. By the time Xinyi and Xiaolan walked out of the commercial street, their hands were already filled with bags of all sizes.

This makes Xiaolan a little strange.

Obviously she didn't get this kind of treatment when she went shopping alone.

"what happened?"

Shinichi looked at the confused little angel and asked with a smile.

"Nothing, let's go upstairs quickly!"

Shaking her cute little head, Xiaolan urged.

Because of Kogoro Mouri's hospitalization, the Mouri family is now in a state where no one is using it.

It is very easy to accumulate dust, so it needs to be cleaned thoroughly.

Following the familiar corridor, the two of them reached the second floor, when they bumped into a woman in maid uniform.

"Sister Chana, where are you going?"

Xiaolan greeted the other party familiarly.

"It's Xiaolan. The office has run out of tea. I'm about to buy some and bring it back!"

Mizuguchi Kana saw the girl in front of her clearly, and a friendly smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Because I had received a lot of help from Fei Yingli on the case before, and now I have rented a detective agency.

The relationship between the three of them is quite good.

"And Shinichi-kun! What a coincidence! Nanatsuki and I happened to be talking about you!"

Looking away from Xiaolan, the maid noticed that there was someone standing behind her.

The smile on her face became even brighter now.

"I wonder if you are free now?"

With anticipation shining in her eyes, she approached Shinichi and asked.

"Say what you want first, and I'll see if I'm free."

Shinichi thought for a moment and said.

"..."

The blunt words made the maid fall into silence.

However, after experiencing the Lavender Annex incident and even surviving the police interrogation, Mizuguchi Kana's psychological endurance is very strong, so naturally she will not be hit to this extent.

She couldn't help but take the big and small bags from Shinichi's hand, and walked upstairs with Xiaolan with a smile.

"Are you going to clean up when you come back? Just in time, I can help!"

"That's really good!"

Xiaolan said, turning her head and blinking at Shinichi.

That undoubtedly means: I don’t want you for the time being, you can go and do other things.

After conveying this meaning with her playful little eyes, she walked towards the residential area on the third floor without looking back.

Seeing her like this, Shinichi scratched his head and knocked helplessly on the door of the Lavender Detective Agency in front of him.

Chapter 3 The Detective Miss Can’t Refuse

　　It has been a month or two since the Lavender Detective Agency opened.

Since Koshimi Nanatsuki's reasoning ability is quite good, he has received many commissions during this time.

In particular, some female clients will come all the way here after hearing about it.

After all, there are not many capable female detectives, and some commissions are just hard to tell to the opposite sex.

For example, if you need a detective to protect you 24 hours a day, then regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, you will probably choose a female detective!

After hearing the voice of "please come in" coming from the office, Shinichi opened the door and happened to see a guest sitting on the sofa.

This lady has exquisite makeup, elegant clothes, and her slightly frowning brows look full of thoughts.

If nothing else, he should be here to issue a commission.

"This is the wife of the world-class magician 99 Yuanyasu, 99 Qihui, who passed away a week ago."

Koshimi Nanatsuki gave a small explanation on the side.

"It's the client introduced by the concubine's lawyer."

Putting a glass of boiled water on the table, she asked Shinichi to sit down.

The reason why this detective agency was able to become official so quickly was not only due to the popularity accumulated from the previous Maori Detective Agency, but also because of the great lawyer Fei Yingli.

After helping handle the follow-up matters of Lavender's draft and completing the procedures for opening a detective agency.

Many clients only found out about this place through the introduction of this legal queen.

Koshimi Nanatsuki also kept this kindness in mind and worked hard to complete every commission.

Just like the 99 lady in front of me.

A week ago, her husband was found dead in his home. After some investigation, the police found many doubts, but ultimately concluded the case as suicide.

Listening to her story, a figure of a chubby middle-aged man wearing a brown windbreaker and a small round hat appeared in Shinichi's mind.

It seems that this is another case handled by Officer Megure!

Being able to discover something means that he has a certain ability to handle cases, and the completion of the suicide case shows that he is eager to get off work.

This made 99 Qihui somewhat unacceptable. She always believed that her husband was killed by others.

But she had no clue, so she had to ask the detective for help.

It was only when she asked her friends around to find reliable detectives that she learned the name of this detective agency from Fei Yingli, whom she had met several times.

"Excuse me, why do you think Mr. 99 was killed?"

Koshizui Nanatsuki took a notepad and recorded the commissioned information very carefully, and raised his questions in a timely manner.

"Because! Because tomorrow is our daughter's birthday! My husband has been looking forward to it for a long time and wants to give Fumino a birthday gift with his own hands. How could he commit suicide!"

99 Qihui looked devastated, and it could be seen that the relationship between the family members was still very good.

Koshimi Nanatsuki also stopped recording and stepped forward to comfort the client who was already crying.

As a woman who has even had similar experiences, she can relate to this.

"Since you are going out, I should leave first?"

Seeing that the detective lady had accepted the commission, Shinichi also spoke.

For such a simple entrustment, he felt that he didn't need his help.

"Wait! You are too unsympathetic!"

Koshimi Nanatsuki stood up from the sofa, put his hands on his hips, and glared at someone.

"But you can handle it alone, right? I still have to go home and do my homework!"

Shinichi also has his own reasons for this.

As a student, it is natural to complete your homework well.

Although the school is busy preparing for the school festival these days, and even classes have been suspended, there is no shortage of homework to be assigned.

"Or do you think you can't do it yourself? In that case, it's not like I can't help~"

"You can't do it! Sister, I am enough alone!"

The simple provocation method successfully aroused the detective's competitive spirit.

The words that came out of his mouth made Shinichi nod with satisfaction.

"This is what you said, so I'll leave first~"

He drank all the boiled water on the table, picked up his schoolbag, and said hello with a smile.

"(〃＞目＜)Damn it!"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who belatedly realized that he had been tricked, stamped his feet in annoyance.

This interaction was noticed by Mrs. 99, who had just recovered from her sadness. Although she was a little confused, she still spoke kindly to persuade.
