Chapter 865: Okiya Subaru really has a woman!
After coming out of the bookstore, Subaru Okiya seemed to have no clear goal and walked aimlessly on the street.
"How strange," said Sera Masumi, who was following closely behind Ran Mouri. She pinched her chin in confusion, "This Subaru teacher, after get off work, didn't go out for drinks with others or go to a coffee shop. Instead, he went to the bookstore to look up math reference books, and now he's walking around casually like this."
Mao Lilan was puzzled: "Is there anything strange?"
Sera Masumi pondered, "But would ordinary office workers be like this?"
Mao Lilan was a little amused: "But, Mr. Subaru is still a college student in the strict sense, right? He is just an intern in our school."
Shira Masumi slapped his palm and said suddenly, "So that's how it is!"
While the few people were talking, Okiya Subaru suddenly turned around and walked into a club.
"Hey, Mr. Subaru went into that club." Suzuki Sonoko shouted, pointing ahead.
"What should we do? Should we go in too?" Mao Lilan hesitated. She glanced at her school uniform and asked, "Is this outfit inappropriate?"
If someone saw it, there might be rumors the next day that female high school students from Teitan were entering and leaving the club.
"It's okay, it's okay," Sera Masumi waved his hand, "It's just an ordinary billiard club, we can play billiards and stuff, and I think we can also play darts."
"Is that so? That's good." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.
So the three of them took the opportunity to enter the billiard club.
After the three of them, Conan successfully sneaked in under the pretext of looking for his sister.
Next up, it was Yuya and Miyano Shiho.
Just as Masumi Sera said, the decoration of this club is in a relaxed style, and it plays slow jazz music. There are entertainment activities such as billiards, darts, cards, etc., and there is also a bar that provides alcoholic drinks.
And Okiya Subaru was already sitting at the bar drinking a little wine.
The trio and the duo each found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, and began to secretly observe Okiya Subaru who was at the bar.
"Look, that waitress is a pretty older sister!" Suzuki Sonoko poked her head out, her face full of gossip, "Could this person be Subaru's girlfriend?"
"How is that possible?" Mao Lilan was a little speechless. "She was just a waitress at the bar. Don't just say such things to a woman you see!"
On the way to follow, Subaru Okiya also went into a coffee shop to drink coffee, and then bought a newspaper at a newsstand.
The waiter in that coffee shop was pretty good, and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but guess that she was Okiya Subaru's girlfriend, plus there were a few women who came to Okiya Subaru to ask for directions along the way.
As the sky darkened, more than an hour had passed since they followed Okiya Subaru. Thanks to Suzuki Sonoko, Okiya Subaru had passively had at least three girlfriends in this short period of time.
"But this time it's different!" Suzuki Sonoko pounded the table excitedly without making any sound, "This waitress is so pretty! Subaru has been chatting with her since he sat down!!! This has never happened before!"
Mao Lilan couldn't help but take another look at the waitress. She was indeed just as Suzuki Sonoko said, a very beautiful older sister. Although she was wearing a waitress's uniform, one could tell that she had a great figure, especially the bulge under her white shirt, which looked like it was about to burst and the buttons were about to fly off.
Ran Mouri couldn't help but doubt - could this person really be Subaru's girlfriend?
The two best friends were chatting animatedly, but Sera Masumi remained silent.
She pretended to drink a drink, worried that her gaze would alert the other person, so she just observed him out of the corner of her eye, but the look in her eyes was quite deep.
At the same time, Yuya and Miyano Shiho.
Yuya narrowed his eyes, his expression a little cold: "Sure enough, Subaru-sensei has a woman he knows outside."
Miyano Shiho couldn't help but start to doubt, but she still couldn't believe that the man would meet other women outside, so she whispered, "Could it be a misunderstanding?"
"No!" Yuya said affirmatively, giving the same reason as Suzuki Sonoko.
···
At the bar, Subaru Okiya took a sip of the wine in his glass and asked with a hint of confusion: "You said you heard a strange sound while you were working?"
He just saw the lady had a distressed expression on her face and asked her casually out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that she was actually in trouble.
The waiter's name is Fukui Yuki, she is 26 years old. Although she is wearing waiter's clothes, she is actually the owner of this billiard club. She said that she likes to mix cocktails, so she works part-time as a bartender here at the bar.
"Yes," Fukui Yuki nodded, "It's a sound similar to the 'pop' sound when you open a champagne cork."
Just at this moment, a guest at a seat opened a bottle of champagne with a "pop".
The two glanced at each other subconsciously, and Okiya Subaru said, "Could it be the sound of champagne being opened?"
Fukui Yuki pinched her chin hesitantly and said, "But, I remember that I didn't bring champagne to any of the guests at that time."
Okiya Subaru speculated: "Could it be that a guest secretly brought in champagne?"
Compared to the champagne sold outside, the champagne sold in the club is definitely more expensive, and some guests do choose to bring their own wine to save money.
Fukui Yuki shook her head and denied it: "I suspected the same thing at first, so I made a special observation, but no guest drank champagne."
Subaru Okiya thought for a moment and said, "Could it be red wine? Doesn't red wine also have a cork?"
Fukui Yuki denied it again: "No. And after I heard that sound, there was also the sound of something falling to the ground. I also looked for it when I closed the store and cleaned it, but I didn't find any corks in the store. There was just a strange smell..."
"Strange smell?" Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes a little tighter, "What kind of smell?"
Fukui Yuki: "Although the smell is very light, it should be similar to the scent of grapefruit, but my store has never used grapefruit so it feels a bit strange. I am worried that something bad will happen in the store, so I am ready to find a detective to investigate."
After all, it was her own store, so Fukui Yuuki was a little worried, but there was no way to call the police for such a thing, and the police would not come to investigate just because of a little suspicion, so finding a detective was the best option.
Okiya Subaru pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you often hear such sounds?"
Fukui Yuki thought for a moment and said, "I heard it on different days, at least twice."
Subaru Okiya then asked, "Then when you heard the sound, were there any guests who were present every time?"
"Yes," Fukui Yuki nodded, "It happens to be the table behind you."
Okiya Subaru looked back.
