Chapter 18: Cafe Murder
Chapter 18: Cafe Murder
Maori Kogoro... if he is here, then Conan...! ?
Xiang Yuanguang turned his head stiffly and looked towards the corner near the store door.
Sure enough, Ran Mouri and Conan were sitting there.
Conan had a very sour expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was very unhappy that Yuan Guang did not remind him of the dinner party in advance.
Oh no, this guy with a short stature but an extraordinary mind is going to take revenge for what happened before...!
Xiang Yuanguang touched the back of his head.
(Well, this matter...everything is hard to predict.)
(I should have chosen a store earlier. What kind of place did Prosecutor Kuma choose?)
"Hey, little Xiang Yuan, you're just in time."
"It's a shame that you didn't go to the trial and watched from the gallery."
Leaning against the counter of the ramen shop, Kogoro Mouri began to brag about what happened in court.
Although Xiang Yuanguang, as the prosecutor Gold, was well aware of Maori's mistakes in his testimony.
However, in order to conceal his identity, he could only listen to Detective Maori's bragging with reluctance.
"I tell you, the evidence and testimony brought by Eri Kisaki had already pushed Prosecutor Gold into a desperate situation!"
"But, as soon as I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, showed up, I immediately used my testimony to reverse the situation!"
"It's a pity you didn't hear my wonderful testimony..."
Once he talked about his glorious deeds, Kogoro Mori couldn't stop.
In this regard, Xiang Yuanguang could only sigh inwardly.
Oh my God, I must have done something wrong in my previous life to hear Kogoro Mouri bragging at this time.
By the way, after he finished the trial, he seemed to hear some prompt sound.
I was just so caught up in my own victory that I didn't notice it. Now I'm watching it again.
With a thought, the attribute panel popped up in Yuanguang's sight.

(Sure enough, there were changes, but I ignored them at the time...)
(Is it because I completed multiple reversals of the case at the trial that I gained 200 reversal points?)
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, completely ignoring Uncle Maori's words, and started thinking.
He completely forgot about Prosecutor Kuma Sukawa who was waiting for Xiang Yuanguang to return at the other table.
The prosecutor waited for a long time but didn't see anyone. He stood up with some confusion and walked towards the counter.
But when he saw Kogoro Mori who was chattering non-stop, his doubts were resolved.
"Detective Maori? Why are you here too?"
Kuma Sukawa interrupted Maori Kogoro.
Kogoro Mori was embarrassed to brag in front of outsiders, so he turned to look at the person who came.
Well, how should I put it? I don’t know him at all.
Who is this guy? Could it be... a fan of my Detective Mori!?
"Dad, seriously, why did you take so long?"
On the other side, Mao Lilan finally couldn't bear it anymore and she walked towards this side.
Conan sighed and looked out the window.
Well, this must be a relapse of Detective Maori's old habits. He's used to it.
Anyway, I can’t eat ramen for the time being, so I might as well take a look at what’s happening outside.
(Hmm…there’s a cafe outside.)
Conan observed the people entering the cafe.
Hmm, a mysterious lady wearing sunglasses.
A man with long black hair wearing a suit and an old man with a broken finger.
Well, Tokyo is always like this, there are all kinds of weird guys.
After a while, Xiang Yuanguang, holding ramen, sat next to Conan and said in a pretentious manner.
"Hey, Conan-chan, you're here too."
(What the hell... such an uncomfortable name...!)
Conan looked at Xiang Yuanguang with a stinky face, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Mao Li Ran who was walking towards him with a helpless look on her face.
He immediately returned to his innocent elementary school student appearance.
"Yes, yes, big brother, you are here too."
"Is it because Big Brother couldn't find a girl to eat with, so he came here alone?"
Xiang Yuanguang's expression suddenly turned unfriendly.
Although Conan did not notice Kuma Sukawa, he gave the wrong information.
But, this is true...
(I know I don’t have a girlfriend, don’t emphasize it in front of me, damn it…!)
(Kudo, you bastard!)
When Kogoro Mori came over while bragging to Kuma Sukawa about his experience in the trial.
What I saw was Yuan Guang rubbing Conan's hair madly with a fake smile.
(Really? This lawyer kid has a really good relationship with my kid.)
(We only met once.)
Kogoro Mori couldn't tell at all, the two people seemed to be fighting.
In fact, offline Mortal Kombat (damage-light version) has already started.
"Big brother, there is dust on your back, let me brush it off for you!"
Conan said with that innocent tone while smirking.
Then he slapped Xiang Yuanguang on the back without any hesitation.
Xiang Yuanguang was furious about this.
However, I saw that the ramen was ready and we were ready to eat.
He decided to swallow his anger and wait until he finished eating the ramen. Conan would be in trouble!
Click.
Break the chopsticks apart.
Xiang Yuanguang had not eaten since noon and had been fighting the lawsuit for several hours.
I'm already hungry and don't feel like playing around anymore.
What he didn't expect was that he had just taken a mouthful of noodles when he heard a panicked sound outside.
"Oh no! Someone...someone is dead!"
"Call the police, call the police!"
Kogoro Mori, who hadn't even had time to pick up his chopsticks, was shocked and stood up.
There is a murder case here?
He had just finished the trial of a murder case!
Conan even used his physical advantage to slip away.
What kind of ramen should I eat? It depends on the case!
The famous detective Kudo Shinichi can't wait to start reasoning!
When Mao Lilan saw Conan running away, she could no longer eat her noodles in peace.
I could only put down the ramen in my hand and chase after him while shouting Conan and wait.
For a moment, Xiang Yuanguang was the only one at the table still holding chopsticks.
Even Prosecutor Kuma Sukawa next to him had put down his chopsticks and was looking outside with interest.
He glanced at Xiang Yuanguang who was hesitating whether to eat another bite of noodles.
Asked.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, there is a murder case."
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
(Can you please let me have a bite of hot noodles before leaving!?)
Xiang Yuanguang put down his chopsticks helplessly and stood up.
There is no way, the case is right in front of me, I have to go.
I hope it won’t take too long this time and the ramen will still be edible when I get back.
Otherwise, his already tight wallet will be further strained!
