Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Before long, three miniature listening devices, which had been placed in Kogoro's bedroom, Ran Mouri's bedroom, and the corner of the living room, appeared in Chu Zhong's hands.

"Conan, you're really bold to plant a bug in Ran's room?!"

Chu Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Actually, I didn't have time to eavesdrop on anything..." Conan explained hastily, "The listening device was invented by Dr. Agasa when Ran went to stay at Lawyer Hina's house. Ran hasn't come back to stay since, so..."

Chu Zhong had no doubt about this.

After all, no listening devices were found on Conan in the previous instance.

Today's Conan in the dungeon has this thing.

Obviously, the Conan in the real world also has the gadgets that Conan in the dungeon has.

"Are there any other places where listening devices have been planted?"

Chu Zhong smiled enigmatically: "Confess now, and I'll spare you this time. But if I find out later..."

Conan felt a chill run down his spine under that unfathomable gaze, and hurriedly nodded, replying, "Yes, yes... at the place where you live, Brother Chu..."

They then led the way to Chu Zhong's rented apartment and retrieved the listening devices from the living room and bedroom.

"You're honest enough..."

Chu Zhong pursed his lips in boredom and waved for Conan to leave.

This unsurprising reaction, however, only made Conan more alarmed.

After going downstairs, Conan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This Chu Zhong must have guessed that I planted a bug, and he said that on purpose... Luckily, he wasn't lying..."

"But that guy was way too alert, even with the corpse... was he really just an ordinary person?"

Just then, the sound of someone coming downstairs rang out. Conan quickly shut his mouth, afraid that his mutterings would be overheard, and ran away.

A short while later, Chu Zhong, who had come downstairs, stood downstairs at the Maoli Office.

[Instance scenario under construction...]

five minutes later.

Chu Zhong, having easily achieved an SSS-level rating once again, emerged from the dungeon.

'Since it's not the Kogoro instance... then it must be an item that triggers the hidden mode of the Eri Kisaki instance...'

Chu Zhong muttered to himself, then hailed a taxi on the street.

At 12:40 PM, at the Eri Kisaki Law Firm.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

At the agency's reception desk, Midori Kuriyama, Eri Kisaki's assistant, politely inquires.

[Elite Grade - Kuriyama Green]

"No... but my name is Chu Zhong. Please let me know and I hope Attorney Fei will be willing to see me."

"Is this Mr. Chu?" Kuriyama Midori was taken aback for a moment, then quickly looked him over. "Ms. Fei did indeed instruct... the office is over there, please go there yourself."

This surprised Chu Zhong somewhat.

He knew that Eri Kisaki would see him, and he even specially chose an afternoon to come over. However, he did not expect that Eri Kisaki had already given instructions to her assistant in advance.

"..."

Kuriyama Midori, who watched Chu Zhong walk into the office, was also extremely confused and curious.

After all, even if she is Ms. Lan, the daughter of Teacher Fei, she still needs to notify her before entering the office.

Eri Kisaki's attitude towards this "Chu Zhong" was that "no appointment or notification is needed" and "he can come into the office anytime".

Since Kuriyama Midori became Eri Kisaki's assistant, Chu Zhong is the first person to enjoy this kind of 'special treatment'...

"What exactly is his relationship with the teacher?"

Kuriyama Midori couldn't help but mutter, "She even brought a gift... Could it be..."

"No, no, no, how could Teacher Fei possibly have a boyfriend..."

Click——

Chu Zhong gently turned the office doorknob.

As soon as I opened the door, my eyes met those of Eri Kisaki, who had turned to look at me.

On the office coffee table, there was a sandwich, two desserts, and tea. Eri Kisaki was sitting on the sofa, seemingly about to have afternoon tea.

"Is this dessert?"

Chu Zhong casually locked the office door from the inside and asked a question out of curiosity.

If this is dessert, the portion is far too much.

"It's my lunch."

Eri Kisaki smiled and explained, "If you consume too many carbohydrates at noon, you'll feel sleepy, which will affect your work."

He patted the seat next to him, gesturing for Chu Zhong to sit down, and then asked the same question as Kogoro.

Chu Zhong had no choice but to briefly recount the case of the villa.

"It's really unfortunate that this happened."

As Eri Kisaki spoke, she suddenly leaned closer and chuckled, "If you can't hold it in anymore, Chu-kun, you'll have to say it~"

The familiar fragrance, coupled with the implication in her words, sent a shiver down Chu's spine. She quickly shook off the image of a cherry blossom country menu that had surfaced in her mind. "Ahem, Sister Fei, I brought you a small gift."

Chapter 114 Still Need to Serve the Queen

"It's enough that you come; why bring a gift?"

"You don't have to be so formal next time..."

Despite saying this, Eri Kisaki quickly opened the medium-sized gift box that Chu Zhong handed her.

"This is... chocolate?"

Upon seeing the inner packaging, something suddenly appeared in Eri Kisaki's eyes.

Chu Zhong explained, "I heard that Sister Fei likes this brand, so I bought some on the way."

Before going to the villa with Xiaolan yesterday, Fei Yingli was full of concern and said that as soon as she got to Mihua, she would let her know that she was safe.

It's impolite to visit an 'elder' empty-handed. Sonoko had mentioned before that Eri Kisaki liked 'Kiba' chocolate, so Chu Zhong bought her a box.

"Chu Jun~ Have you ever tried this brand of chocolate?"

Eri Kisaki picked up a square chocolate and bit off half of it.

"No," Chu Zhong answered honestly.

He's the type who neither likes nor dislikes chocolate.

"Since I have the chance, I'll give it a try!"

Eri Kisaki directly handed the remaining half to Chu Zhong's mouth.

That's right, it's on the lips, not on the lips.

This is considered forcing him to eat.

Although it was suspected of being an indirect kiss, Chu Zhong was somewhat used to Fei Yingli's behavior and opened his mouth slightly.

"Well……"

Then Eri stuffed the chocolate into his mouth, and even a small section of her outstretched finger was stuffed in as well.

The sweetness and bitterness of the chocolate, the subtle fragrance and slight saltiness on the fingers, create a brief but complex flavor profile.

"How does it taste?"

Eri asked with a smile, then withdrew her hand as if she didn't care at all.

"not bad……"

Chu Zhong could only reply politely.

Then I noticed that the taste of this chocolate was strangely familiar... It was about 80% similar to the "heart-shaped chocolate" that dropped in Xiaolan's dungeon.

Chu Zhong immediately came to a conclusion:

—It seems that all kinds of chocolates really do taste pretty much the same!

Next time I give a gift, I'll just give heart-shaped chocolates.

However, the chocolate was shaped like a whole heart, so giving it to Eri might cause a misunderstanding...

While pondering, Chu Zhong briefly drifted off into thought.

Unaware that Eri, standing beside him, saw him savoring the chocolate so much, her eyes filled with undisguised affection.

"Hey me~"

Fei Yingli parted her lips slightly, her commanding tone leaving no room for doubt, which brought Chu Zhong back to his senses.

Eri Kisaki leaned back completely on the sofa, pointing at the sandwich on the coffee table.

"This……"

Chu Zhong hesitated for a moment.

Eri Kisaki didn't give him time to hesitate, "I'm tired from work, and even eating is a hassle. I just want to rest..."

"When you had a cold, they took good care of you, Chu Jun. Don't you even want to do this little favor?"

This sounds strangely like a bit of coquettishness.

They also mentioned taking care of someone who had a cold.

It cannot be denied that Eri Kisaki took very good care of him when he had a cold... even a little too much care.

This has left Chu Zhong completely stumped by these words, unable to refuse.

All I could do was hold the sandwich and offer it to Eri's mouth.

As a result, Eri Kisaki glanced at him:

"Chu Jun is so naughty! Such a big piece! How is anyone supposed to eat it? Open their mouth wide? That's so rude!"

Faced with the 'Queen's' request, Chu Zhong scratched his head, "Well..."

A smile appeared on Eri's lips. "King Chu is so smart, he must be able to think of a solution, right?"

It was clearly meant to be a joke.

Fortunately, it was just a minor problem, and Chu Zhong quickly came up with a solution.

He got up and walked out of the office, asking the receptionist, Midori Kuriyama, for something.

"A fruit knife?"

Kuriyama Midori looked puzzled, but still pointed out the direction, indicating that Chu Zhong should go to the fruit next to the waiting room and take some himself.

While Chu Zhong was searching for the fruit knife...

"Teacher, is everything alright?"

Kuriyama Midori lowered her voice and used the internal phone to inquire about the situation in the office.

Why would someone suddenly need a fruit knife?

"It's alright, Midori, don't worry about it," Eri replied calmly.

Kuriyama Green felt relieved.

Soon, Chu found the fruit knife and returned to his office.
