34. Cat
Hattori Heiji's question was unexpected, and all he got was a perfunctory answer.
Conan curled his lips and simply leaned against the side to sleep.
If only Hattori Heiji is left, he will lose the desire to talk.
The morning sun was just right, and the wind was not rushing or impatient after the window was opened, and the way back was quiet.
When I was sent to the station, I sent the elementary school student back to Dr. Agasa's house. When I finally returned to the coffee shop, it was already afternoon.
"The boss is back!" Azusa Hiromoto, who was feeding stray cats, got up and greeted her with a smile.
The pastoral cat named Captain raised his head a little stupidly, and the cat whiskers were stained with milk. It licked its paws and meowed softly.
Chen Xing's fatigue seemed to disappear suddenly. He raised his foot and kicked it, and the cat tentatively patted his shoes.
"Okay, stop teasing Captain." Azusa Komoto chuckled: "It must be very hard to drive a car for so long. Come in and rest for a while. Amuro must have prepared black tea."
"Okay." When Chen Xing nodded, he had already seen a figure lying on the window looking at this side. The other party held his chin and had a bright smile on his face.
When he sat back to his old place on weekdays, he completely relaxed. He did not have the tension when he was in the case, nor did he have to work hard. If there was another strawberry cake that was not big or small at this time...
Just as I was thinking, Chen Xing smelled the fragrance of cream and the fragrance of strawberries embellished on it. Especially the strawberries are cut open, and the bits of juice seem to fall but not fall, delicate and dripping, just right to attract people's taste buds.
"How is it, I made it." Toru Amuro brought the tray to the table with one hand, smiling.
"It's pretty good." Chen Xing didn't go against his will, so he wiped his hands with a wet wipe and was about to start.
Then, I saw the waiter sitting opposite him, and Shi Shiran took the strawberry cake in front of him, rubbed his hands, and looked like he was about to move.
Chen Xing had not put down the wet wipes in his hand, but he was still holding the spoon in his other hand.
Amuro blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The tableware is all disinfected, so you don't need to wipe it."
Chen Xing moved his lower lip and silently pinched the wet wipes into a ball.
Amuro's eyes twitched and said dryly, "Can you ask the boss to taste it and give me some advice?"
As he said that, he pushed the cake over.
Chen Xing hugged his arm and turned his head.
Toru Amuro said helplessly: "I helped you solve the case before."
Chen Xing then picked up the small fork placed on the plate, and just cut a small piece of it smoothly with one-third of the strawberry pudding on it, just right.
Amuro held his chin with his hands and stared with a smile.
Both of them know that whoever they are specially made for and who they want.
"Is this time going well?" Toru Amuro asked after the man opposite him finished eating.
I have to say that if you stay by Chen Xing for a long time, you will inevitably become more considerate, and this is indeed a very magical thing. After all, if you see the words "consider or gentleness" for the first time, I am afraid no one will put them on him to describe them.
"The real murderer was arrested and the case was resolved." Chen Xing took a sip of coffee and leaned on the sofa with great comfort.
Amuro looked at his eyelids half open and his eyelashes covered the shadows like fans. His calm eyes could see fatigue, but lazy.
"Like a cat."
"What?"
Chen Xing opened his eyes and spoke in confusion.
Tomo Amuro did not answer, but just looked out the window with a smile. The pastoral cat that always came during this period was full and walked away leisurely, as if he could still hear the pleasant sound of the bell on its neck.
"It's inexplicable." Chen Xing couldn't understand his expression and couldn't help but mutter.
"I won't disturb you to rest." Amuro Toru got up silently and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Chen Xing glanced at him, then closed his eyes again, turned his head and fell asleep.
...
The next day.
"Captain, you came a little late today."
At the entrance of the coffee shop, Azusa Komoto leaned over and looked at the pastoral cat who just squatted there, which was very healing for people's hearts.
When the cat lowered her head and licked the milk, she was stunned and raised her hand to pull out the paper clipped underneath from the cat's collar.
"Is it a taxi receipt?"
In a few moments, in a coffee shop.
As I was looking through the magazine, I saw Azusa Sumi who was walking around in confusion, as if she was looking for someone.
"Boss, have you seen where Amuro went?"
"The bathroom." Chen Xing said casually.
Azusa Komoto held her hands behind her back and looked forward to the table.
"Is there anything wrong with him?" Chen Xing was a little curious.
"That's right. I just saw a receipt under the captain's collar." As Azusa Komoto said, Tomoto Amuro walked over with his hands.
"Has Xiao Zi started to get on the run?" he said with a smile: "I'll chat with the boss during work hours."
"No." Azusa Hiromoto knew he was joking, "I'm looking for you."
"Look for me?"
"Yes, I remember you often say you are a detective, right?" Azusa Tomoto said expectantly.
When Amuro Toru heard this, he coughed lightly, "It's not that I often say it, but that's it, I'm very powerful..."
"Okay, then do you know what's going on?" Azusa Komoto handed him the receipt in her hand.
"Is the taxi receipt?" Tori Amuro took it casually. He didn't care much at first, but after seeing the receipt, his expression changed slightly.
"corpse, corpse?" He frowned slightly.
Azusa Hiromoto said curiously: "I thought the text between cor/p/se disappeared. Is it a typographical error?"
"Probably," Amuro smiled calmly, then glanced at the cat at the door, "Does anyone know that this cat comes here to ask for food every day?"
"The captain has only come to us recently. The only people who know me and the boss and you are," Azusa Kasumoto thought for a while, "Conan should know it if he comes again."
"Eh?" Amuro raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't hide his interest even though he was surprised. "Conan Edogawa."
Azusa Komoto said, "Also, when I just took this receipt, I touched the collar around the cat's neck, and it felt very cold."
"That's it." Amuro unconsciously stroked the receipt through his fingers, "It should be just a prank, don't take it to heart."
"Oh." Azusa Tomoto muttered: "But it's really too much to stuff the receipt under the cat's collar."
Seeing her back walking away, Amuro Toru looked at the receipt in his hand again, and by the way, he naturally sat down next to him.
Chen Xing couldn't help but cough and put the magazine at hand.
It was as if Amuro Toru had just noticed him, "Maybe your child is in some trouble again."
"And?" Chen Xing was not surprised.
"It seems like this is always the case." Toru Amuro shrugged.
Chen Xing thought about it and took out his cell phone.
At a glance, Tomoto understood and immediately smiled: "The trouble this time is probably because he is not that free, otherwise he would not have tried every means to pass it on with this kind of code."
