MTL - I Really Don’t Want To Inherit the Winery-Chapter 8
"Conan, what are you looking at?" Passing by Poirot after school that day, the young detective team looked at Conan who suddenly stopped and looked at the cafe, a little curious.
"Ah, that." Conan gestured.
It was a man wearing a hat sitting near the window, eating sandwiches one by one. He chewed the sandwiches and stared at the direction of the service counter with complicated eyes.
"Hey? What's wrong with this man?" Ayumi asked inexplicably.
"Ah, he has appeared in Poirot for several days since the day before yesterday. He appears every morning and afternoon." Conan said with a slight frown.
Since he heard Maorilan talk about Mr. Kurosawa, he is also a little interested in this boss who is said to be young and handsome, from Italy.
But for several days in a row, either it was too early and the other party hadn't come yet, or it was too late and the other party had already left. Leng is not met.
Instead, he found this suspicious man.
The man in the hat had finished his sandwich, pushed the door and walked out.
Several members of the juvenile detective team watched him walk away, and Mitsuhiko said to Conan, "Why don't we follow along and have a look?"
Genta and Ayumi were very interested, but Haibara Ai refused without hesitation, turned around and left.
Conan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Azusa Enomoto who came out to water the flowers. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Sister Enomoto, is Mr. Amuro in Poirot now?"
Enomoto Zi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, do you have anything to do with him?"
"One point, then I'll go in and find him." Conan smiled at her, pushed open the door and walked into the cafe.
"Have you noticed that suspicious guest?" Amuro, who was filling the container with water, looked at Conan in surprise.
After Conan came in, he jumped to the chair in front of the reception desk and sat down, telling Amuro Toru what he had just seen.
"Hmm..." Conan nodded.
Amuro thought for a while, "Speaking of which, it's true, that customer has indeed been here for several days in a row, and the meals he ordered are relatively simple. And I feel like I'm being followed for the past two days."
"Following! Could it be that suspicious guest did it?" Conan asked immediately.
"What suspicious guest?" An unfamiliar voice sounded, startling Conan.
When he turned his head, he realized that he was so focused on chatting with Amuro that he didn't notice anyone pushing the door in.
The man who came in was wearing light coffee-colored clothes, and there was a small black cat lying on his shoulders. He didn't know how the kitten fixed himself.
This person is... the one who was with the Fengji Consortium that day! Conan immediately remembered the encounter at the pet store a few days earlier. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Amuro speaking next to him.
"Mr. Kurosawa, it's a little late today." Toru Amuro greeted him with a smile. It was almost dinner time now, and Kurosawa would rarely come to Poirot at this time.
Mr. Hazel? Conan was taken aback.
Toru Kurosawa chuckled, "Ah, I took a long nap, I thought I hadn't been here today, so I just came over here, just in time to finish dinner here. Your craftsmanship, Amuro, has already whetted my appetite. "
"Mr. Kurosawa, stop joking." Toru Amuro laughed, "Is it still the same as before?"
Toru Kurosawa nodded, "There should be meat here? Please help me prepare some half-cooked steak without seasoning."
He touched his shoulder and heard Grillo, who called the steak twice, and then smiled and greeted Conan sitting in front of the bar. "Children, we meet again."
"Brother Amuro, this is..." Already knowing that the other party is the owner of the cafe, Conan still pretended to know nothing and asked Toru Amuro.
He didn't expect Kurosawa to have met Conan. Although he was a little surprised that he didn't know each other since he had met him, Toru Amuro briefly introduced the two of them to each other while preparing the meal.
"Oh? I'm borrowing a child from the detective office upstairs. How could I know Miss Enomoto?" Kurosawa Toru said.
"Hey?" Conan blinked in surprise, "Brother Kurosawa, how did you know I knew Miss Enomoto?" Could it be that day...
Toru Kurosawa's answer made him confirm his guess, "When you left the pet store that day, I heard you mention Miss Enomoto's name. Is the injured little guy okay now?"
"It was handed over to Miss Enomoto the next day, and it should be recovering well." Conan said with a smile. Is it because you have a cat too? He seems to be a person who likes small animals.
"That's good..." Toru Kurosawa smiled and sat directly on the seat two positions away from Conan. Grillo jumped off his shoulder and landed on the bar.
Toru Kurosawa teased him with his fingers and asked, "What's the matter with the suspicious guests you mentioned?"
Conan and Toru Amuro looked at each other, and the latter told the story that someone seemed to be following him recently. Conan also talked about the strange behavior of the guests he noticed.
"Hmm..." Kurosawa thought thoughtfully. "Follow Mr. Amuro, and come to Poirot to order sandwiches every day?"
He looked at Conan, who seemed a little nervous, and Toru Amuro, who didn't take it seriously, and laughed, "I think of a possibility."
"Huh?" The two suddenly looked over.
Toru Kurosawa smiled and said, "That sandwich was specially made by Amuro, right?"
Conan and Amuro nodded. "Indeed, Mr. Amuro's sandwiches are very famous. Many people say that they are much better than ordinary sandwiches after eating them," Conan said.
Toru Kurosawa's smile widened. "Then, he keeps ordering this sandwich. Is it possible that he is the same chef and wants to know how the sandwich is made? After all, the children have also said it, and many people say that it is better than ordinary. If you are a peer, I would like to know which of them is. Secrets are normal, right?"
I still don't know that once Conan finds a suspicious person, the law of the case will appear in all likelihood. As the boss, Toru Kurosawa thought of this for the first time.
Conan and Amuro Toru were stunned at the same time.
One of them is because they have encountered a lot of various cases, and their minds will subconsciously think in this direction.
The other is that he didn't sense any danger from that man, so he didn't particularly care.
But they have forgotten this kind of thinking of ordinary people. Generally speaking, this idea is indeed the most reasonable.
Toru Amuro put the meal in front of Toru Kurosawa and said with a smile, "Indeed, this is the most likely. Then if he returns later, just ask him."
"However, little friend, you are very keen, and you can actually detect something wrong with the guests." Toru Kurosawa said.
Conan froze, laughing twice, "Because I live at Uncle Mori's house and have followed him to the scene of many cases, I prefer to play detective games."
Originally just casually speaking, his stiff reaction was completely different from the calmness just now, causing Toru Kurosawa to raise his eyebrows. This kid seems a little weird.
"Conan is a kid who wants to be a detective." Amuro said with a smile, "He also organized a youth detective team with his friends, and really helped the police solve cases."
"Oh... that's really amazing." Toru Kurosawa smiled and cut a piece of steak to feed to Grillo, who grabbed his wrist from the plate. "It fits your name very well."
"Huh?" Conan, who had never been asked about his name, was taken aback.
"Edogawa, Conan, if you like reasoning and detectives, it is easy to think of it. Well-known mystery novelists Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle." Kurosawa Toru said.
"It just doesn't fit the Japanese naming conventions. After all, Conan Doyle is a foreigner. When it is used as a name, it usually uses a similar pronunciation. There should be very few people who use the original sound. It seems that Conan, your parents must like him very much. Bar."
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Conan's forehead, "Yes, yes." This guy! Guess the origin of his name at once!

Conan & Toru Amuro: That's right, because I was curious about the recipe of the sandwich many times and even followed the person who made the sandwich. Ordinary people would think so for the first time.
Kurosawa - the heir of the Karasuma Group - the next boss of the organization - the brother of the Italian godfather Vengali - the apprentice of the world's number one killer - Toru: Ordinary people?
And, about yesterday's no-award quiz, many of my friends guessed right, it's the crow, haha. But that is not an ordinary tattoo, and it will be revealed slowly in the future—
