Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

When Kuroba Kaito pressed the issue, Miyano Akemi immediately answered for Shiraizumi Masu: "No, Izumi Masu-kun doesn't like eel rice. It's his cousin Genta who likes it. We've brought Genta here to eat it many times..."

"Oh! Is that so!~"

Kuroba Kaito nodded in realization, then asked, "By the way, teacher, why did Koizumi Hongzi ask us to meet?"

"This... is kept secret for now!"

Shiraizumi Masu, Miyano Akemi, Kuroba Kaito and the others were chatting casually, when suddenly Ai pointed out the window and said, "Look, the witch is coming."

27 As Xiao Ai finished speaking, Shiraizumi Masu and the others turned their heads involuntarily to look. They saw Koizumi Hongzi walking briskly into the store. Standing at the front desk, she glanced at Shiraizumi Masu, Miyano Akemi and the others, and sat down directly at the seat opposite. She nodded slightly and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Haha...it's okay, we just arrived too."

Bai Quanyi said something polite, and the waiter came over with a menu in his hand and said, "Everyone, would you like to order now?"

"Yes, order now."

Miyano Akemi gracefully took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Koizumi Hongzi, smiling narrowly.

"Koizumi-san, thank you so much for this! To show your gratitude, Izumi-kun and I will pay for the meal today - you're welcome to order whatever you want!"

Looking at Miyano Akemi's expression, Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took the menu and said:

"Okay, then I'll just order whatever I want."

……

6:30 pm, Beika Town.

In an abandoned bungalow next to a freight company called Kurata.

Because it was already evening, the bungalow was gloomy. The afterglow of the golden sun, which had not yet set, shone into the bungalow through the dilapidated windows, casting spots of golden light, making the bungalow look even more eerie and terrifying.

Suddenly, with a slight creaking sound, a shaky wooden door opened, and a little dust dispersed into the air. Ayumi, wearing a pink dress, walked in with steps. Her big, cute eyes were filled with fear as she moved cautiously around the room.

At this moment, four strong arms suddenly emerged from the curtain beside them and swung towards Ayumi. At the same time, two slightly childish but eerie voices were heard:

"Help me... help me..."

“Hurry up and save me…”

Hearing these two voices, Ayumi looked terrified, her fists clenched tightly. After taking a few steps back, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Hearing Ayumi's laughter, the four arms stopped swinging, and then Genta's voice came: "Really, Ayumi - what are you doing! We are playing a horror game now. At a time like this, you should scream 'Ah'!"

After Yuan Tai finished speaking, Ayumi was still holding her stomach and laughing "Haha", and apologized with an apologetic look:

"Sorry, sorry, I just couldn't help it!~"

"Ah, there's really nothing I can do about you!" Mitsuhiko gave Ayumi a helpless look, then returned to the curtain with two mannequin arms in his hands. Looking at the pile of mannequins inside, he said, "Come to think of it, Ayumi, you're amazing. You actually found such a great place—there are so many mannequins here. Playing role-playing games here is really exciting!"

"Uh-huh! Right, right?"

Ayumi nodded happily, narrowing her eyes as she smiled. "How about we make this our secret base and come play when we have time?"

"Ah! That's a good idea!" Genta's eyes lit up. "Playing games here is really fun! But should we tell Conan about this place?"

"Nonsense! Of course I have to tell him!" Ayumi immediately put her hands on her hips. "Although Conan has become a bad boy, he is still a member of our Junior Detective League. How can we not tell him? And, not only Conan, but also Haibara!"

"Right, right, right!" Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement, then frowned and said, "But speaking of which, what is Conan doing now? Has he gone home yet?"

"Well, should we go home?"

Ayumi thought for a moment, then looked at her watch and exclaimed, "It's already half past six—how about we play one more game and then go home?"

"Yeah!"

Yuantai and Guangyan nodded together, and then Yuantai pulled a bald man out of the mannequin and said, "How about we play a bald robber robbery?"

"How about we play the kidnapping case of a blonde beauty? The kidnapping case seems more interesting!~" Mitsuhiko also pulled out a female body model and put forward his own suggestion.

The three little brats were discussing something when they suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking outside the door next to them.

Hearing this sound, Ayumi and the others were stunned, then reached out to turn the doorknob, looking puzzled: "Was that the sound of glass breaking just now? Is there anyone outside?"

The three little brats were just thinking about it when they suddenly heard someone coming from the door ahead. They quietly ran over and peeked through the crack in the door. They saw two men standing there arguing. One of them had a mustache and was holding an iron pipe. He looked at the other man with a ferocious expression and said,

"Damn you Suzuki! You're the one who betrayed me, right? You're secretly introducing our company's long-term customers to Sanada Freight, right? 233"

"That's not the case, Kurata. I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Asshole! You still dare to play dumb! I'm going to kill you today!"

The man named Kurata roared, raised the iron pipe in his hand and hit Suzuki. Suzuki dodged in panic, and the two of them quickly disappeared from the sight of the little brats.

The little kids were startled and looked at each other. Just as they were about to discuss a strategy, they heard a scream of "Ah" from the side.

Hearing the screams, the little brats quickly turned their heads to look, only to see Suzuki holding an iron rod in his hand, breathing heavily, and Kurata lying on the ground in front of him...

Seeing this scene, the little devils turned pale and drew their heads back, saying in horror, "What should we do? Someone has really been killed now..."

"I remember the uncle lying on the ground was the attacker. This uncle who killed someone was acting in self-defense, right? Should we go out and explain the situation to that uncle and help him testify?"

"Idiot! Of course not! He just killed someone. What if he doesn't want anyone to know about it and kills us too? Let's find a way to call the police first!"

“But we don’t have cell phones…”

"By the way, Ayumi, don't you have the detective badge? Let's contact Conan first and ask him to call the police..."

The three little brats discussed it, and after seeing Suzuki leave the room, they immediately walked to the window, observing Suzuki while pressing the radio button on their badges...
