The time to get down to business always flies by, and in the blink of an eye it’s dinner time again.

The rain outside the window decreased. Furukawa Kumisa opened the curtains and looked at the weather to estimate the intensity of the rain.

"The lawyer of the Amakusa family trapped at the foot of the mountain should have called the police. From the time we learned about the landslide and signal interruption last night to today, almost 24 hours have passed. If the rain does not get worse, the dredging time should be almost today.

It’s too late or tomorrow.”

When the three of them walked into the restaurant, Butler Hiranuma and Xiaoxun were already waiting at the table. There were no tableware or food on the table.

Nobuko Ueda and Kaori Gomokawa sat at the table, rather than looking at each other, it was more like they were having some kind of eye contact in silence.

The small door leading to the kitchen in the restaurant was ajar, and the faint sound of cooking could be heard from inside.

——But Butler Hiranuma and Xiaoxun are both here, who is cooking inside?

As if knowing Furukawa Kisa's question, Xiaoxun explained to them: "After everyone's discussion, from tonight until the road down the mountain is clear and leaves the manor, everyone will be responsible for three meals a day.

Then I will cook together."

Furukawa Kumisa nodded understandingly.

After all, the first two deceased people died from the poison at the entrance. Forget it about Amakusa Yuyasu. Amakusa Shunitai was careful enough before his death. At breakfast, everyone shared the same rice porridge and bread. He didn't even touch the tea.

He passed, but his life was still taken away by the poison without anyone noticing.

At this point, the relevant parties in the manor have probably completely lost trust in each other, and are no longer willing to hand over life-critical food to others.

That's understandable.

Amakusa Shotai seemed to have been in for a while. Ueda Nobuko, who was waiting at the table, was already a little impatient. She took out a lady's cigarette from her handbag and started to light it up.

Furukawa Kumisa doesn't like the smell of second-hand smoke and usually avoids it whenever possible.

Seeing Nobuko Ueda preparing to light a cigarette, she frowned and planned to stay away from her.

Suddenly a worried child's voice sounded: "Sister Ueda, brother Yutai seems to have had an accident after smoking. Sister Ueda, please be careful."

The tone of Wuji's children's speech is sincere and sincere, as if he is really just concerned about the safety of Ueda Nobuko.

Ueda Nobuko's hand that lit the cigarette froze, and she glared at Edogawa Conan with a frown, wanting to teach him a lesson, but she felt that arguing with a child was too cheap, so she just said "hum" and put away the cigarette.

Furukawa Kumisa glanced at Edogawa Conan, who seemed to be nothing, and said nothing.

While they were talking, Amakusa Shotai, who was the first to enter the kitchen to cook, had already walked out of the kitchen with a dinner plate.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at the dishes he brought out with some surprise - three perfectly fried chicken breasts drizzled with pepper sauce, broccoli and corn kernels placed aside in bright colors, and perfectly cooked pasta.

After clearing the remaining empty plates, what was served was a Western-style simple meal with a combination of meat and vegetables, with clear priorities.

Furukawa Kumisa was surprised that he, a wealthy young man who had been pampered for more than ten years and even hired housekeepers when he was studying abroad, could actually cook for himself?

Although it is not a sumptuous dish like a Manchu-Han banquet, for this kind of young man who is supposed to be indifferent to grains and limbs, he can fry the meat until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, stir-fry the vegetables until they are cooked but not rotten, and even the noodles can be cooked.

It's really rare to get it to the right level of cookedness and tenderness.

Amakusa Shotai felt her gaze, he raised his head and smiled at her: "My poor cooking skills made Officer Furukawa laugh."

Furukawa Kumisa replied with a half-smile but not a smile: "No, Master Xiangtai's food looks so delicious and delicious, it makes my index finger move."

Amakusa Shotai didn't say anything else, he just returned to the table with the plate and began to eat gracefully.

Ueda Nobuko's eyes also paused on Amakusa Shotai's food, but she was not here to praise his cooking skills.

"Master Xiangtai, where did you get the chicken breast?"

Amakusa Shotai stopped the knife and fork in his hand and replied politely: "There are still a few unopened boxes on the second floor of the cold storage."

Nobuko Ueda nodded, and walked to the kitchen to cook first, ahead of Kaori Gomokawa who was about to get up next to her.

Gomokawa Kaori was not upset because she was taken a step away. She just sat back down and continued to wait calmly.

Not long after, Nobuko Ueda, who was the second to walk into the kitchen, walked out with her own plate.

Furukawa Kumisa took a look and saw that it was the same dish as Amakusa Shotai - under such circumstances, even if they cook by themselves, some people would still subconsciously choose the same dish as the person in front of them. After all, that

I watched him eat it with my own eyes and there was no problem with the dish.

Nobuko Ueda came out, and finally it was Kaori Gomokawa's turn.

She nodded to everyone in the hall, then turned to walk to the kitchen. When she passed by Ueda Nobuko who came out, she bumped into her intentionally or unintentionally.

Furukawa Kumisa glanced at Ueda Nobuko and shook his head slightly at her bullying style, which was like that of a high school student.

Just as she was estimating how long it would be before it would be her turn, she saw Ueda Nobuko suddenly stand up and asked Amakusa Shotai, "Master Shotai, where did you get the black pepper juice?"

Amakusa Shotai swallowed the chicken in his mouth and said slowly: "It's in the cupboard above the oven, on the second floor."

Nobuko Ueda nodded and turned back to the kitchen.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at her and knew that she was probably going back to get black pepper juice.

She thought she was just getting some sauce and it would come out soon. Unexpectedly, Ueda Nobuko heard a scream from the kitchen not long after she entered.

"what are you doing!"

Furukawa Kumisa hurriedly ran to the kitchen, opened the door, and saw Gomokawa Kaori and Ueda Nobuko confronting each other in the kitchen.

They were standing next to the oven, with 500 pieces of chicken breast already roasted by Kaori Kaori on the table, and half a bottle of pepper juice sprinkled on the floor.

Gomokawa Kaori's usually expressionless face didn't look good at the moment: "Are you done?"

Nobuko Ueda had her usual domineering expression: "I was just getting some sauce, but you knocked away my pepper juice, and now you want to ask me if I'm done?"

Gomokawa Kaori took a deep breath, as if she didn't want to argue with her: "I just turned around, who knew you would come up to me on your own?"

"Obviously you knocked my things away," she glanced at the pepper juice spilled on the ground, "Now you want the bad guy to file a complaint first?"

Ueda Nobuko's character has always been so flamboyant and flamboyant. She is as sharp as her gorgeous long armor. When she is unhappy, she will stab the opponent until they are dripping with blood before she gives up.

Furukawa Kumisa had noticed earlier that Ueda Nobuko was hostile to Gomokawa Kaori - not out of fear of the "potential murderer", but because the two had an old grudge.

Now, it is probably Ueda Nobuko who is taking the opportunity to attack.

She took a step forward, wanting to speak to stop the two people from arguing, but she saw a heavy black figure flash next to her.

"careful!"

Toru Amuro, who followed along, grabbed Furukawa Kumisa.

boom--

There was a loud bang, and the kitchen floor was shaken by a huge electrical appliance.

Furukawa Kumisa took a closer look and saw that it was the oven that Ueda Nobuko had just used - it was swept off the table by Gomokawa Kaori and smashed to the ground.

...So it turns out that the neat and capable ol is actually some kind of magical goddess...

Silent people can always burst out with amazing power. Kaori Gomokawa, who had been suppressed by Ueda Nobuko for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched her counterattack.

"What are you doing!!" Nobuko Ueda screamed as she looked at the smashed oven on the ground.

Gomokawa Kaori clapped her hands, raised a sneer on her expressionless face, and returned what she just said.

"Since you think I, the evil person, complained first, then I might as well fight this 'evil person' to the end."

Furukawa Kumisa pulled Conan away from her to prevent him from being shocked by the exposed wires - at this moment, she would always forget that the other person was not the 7-year-old mind he appeared to be.

She stepped forward and pulled Gobaikawa Kaori and Ueda Nobuko away: "Okay, you all should calm down for a while. Miss Gobaikawa, won't you go back to eat? Your food is going to be cold."

Gomokawa Kaori had vented her accumulated anger and had no intention of continuing to stir up trouble. She gave Furukawa Kumisa face, and nodded to her.

"I'm going back to eat first."

After saying that, she set off to go back to the restaurant. Nobuko Ueda wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Hisaya Furukawa.

Seeing Kaori Gomokawa leaving, Nobuko Ueda shook her head and started to make trouble for Hisaya Furukawa who stopped her.

"Police lady, you are not good at this kind of thing! What will we eat after she smashed the oven?"

Furukawa Kumisa advised her: "You can still use a microwave if you don't have an oven..."

"I don't eat food from the microwave! Anyone who likes to eat irradiated food will eat it!"

Furukawa Kumisa:……

I don’t know whether to complain about her pickiness or her gullibility towards civilian science...

Nobuko Ueda shook off Furukawa Kumisa's hand, took her own chicken and left the kitchen angrily.

Finally seeing off the two giant Buddhas, Furukawa Kumisa shook his head and sighed.

"Um..." Xiaoxun, who had been peeping outside the door for a long time, finally said, "Do you need my help?"

She ran over at the same moment she heard the loud noise, but the atmosphere in the kitchen was anxious, so she never dared to speak.

Furukawa Kumisa smiled at her: "Then I'll trouble you."

Xiaoxun breathed a sigh of relief and walked in: "It's okay, it's okay. Miss Furukawa, please stay away first. I'll clean up."

As she said this, she glanced at Edogawa Conan and said, "Conan-kun, don't come close. If the wires are exposed, you will get an electric shock."

Edogawa Conan nodded cutely: "Well, thank you, Sister Xiaoxun."

The kitchen space was not large, so in order to give Xiaoxun more space to clean up, the three of them left the kitchen and returned to the dining room.

The three people in the restaurant were sitting at the table eating in silence.

Kaori Gomokawa and Nobuko Ueda sat at opposite ends, not looking like they wanted to get close to each other.

Amakusa Shōtai stared at the food on the plate with his eyes and nose, while the butler Hiranuma still stood by with a very weak sense of presence.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at the strange atmosphere in the hall and sighed: ...At least there won't be another fight.

Not long after, Xiaoxun walked out with the remains of the oven in his arms and said to them: "The kitchen has been tidied up. Officer Furukawa, are you going to cook?"

Furukawa Kumisa nodded, and she left the restaurant holding the remains of the oven, presumably to dispose of the garbage.

Seeing Xiaoxun leaving, Furukawa Kumisa looked at Toru Amuro next to him with a smile.

"Amuro... ahem, Tou-kun, your girlfriend and her brother's dinner will be left to you!"

The Polo Café where Bourbon worked was famous for its delicious food, and I heard it was all made by the man in front of me. Furukawa Kumisa had been coveting it for a long time, and finally got the chance today.
