Chapter 226: Heartbeat

What case was I involved in?

But, what bomb case would happen in my shop?

If I didn't exist, my dessert shop shouldn't exist. So, is this a butterfly effect?

No, it could have happened in the original work. It was just that the murderer wanted to randomly place a bomb in a crowded place, but I just happened to be unlucky and chose my shop...

Kishida frowned slightly and pondered, but there were too few known clues, and he had no clue at all. After all, there were too many bombings in the world of science, as if anyone could easily pick up a pound or two of explosives. Now it involves a dessert shop that shouldn't have existed, which makes him subconsciously tend to think that he might have encountered a case that didn't happen in the original work.

"Conan, where are you going?"

At this time, Ayumi's shout came from Huiyuan's mobile phone again.

"You guys go eat, I'll go back first."

Conan replied indifferently. He wanted to quietly send a text message to Huiyuan, telling her where to eat and asking her not to make a fuss, so as not to be ridiculed and rejected by Kishida after he knew he was going to his store.

Now, Huiyuan hasn't agreed yet, and Ayumi has blown herself up. In order to save his remaining face, Conan waved his hand to a few people indifferently, turned around and was about to hang up the phone and leave.

"You don't want to eat the free cake? What, don't you look down on the things in my store?"

However, just when Conan wanted to hang up the phone, the familiar "cheap" chuckle came from the other end of the phone.

? ? ?

"What are you trying to do again?"

Conan's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn't know what Kishida was going to do again.

Did this guy forget that on the first day of opening, he hung a wooden sign at the door of the store saying "Conan and dogs are not allowed to enter"?

"Ahem, I think you may have some misunderstandings about me!"

Kishida cleared his throat, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to add with a smile:

"That was the beginning. Now you know what you should know, so there is no need for us to guard against you. You should understand what I mean, right?"

"You mean Sister Chinami?"

Conan understood instantly and confirmed in a low voice.

So he was afraid that he would recognize Miss Hirota Masami and then report her to the police, so he didn't let himself get close to the store? In other words, teasing himself that he was the god of death or something, it might just be a pure excuse?

At this moment, Conan actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief. It turned out that this bastard was not entirely for this reason!

"So smart!"

Kishida nodded and praised frequently. Even though Conan couldn't see his little movements at all.

"Why? Did you know each other before?"

Conan lowered his voice and glared at Ayumi and the others who were about to approach him. Then, amid their dissatisfaction, he turned around and led them, Officer Sato, and Dr. Agasa, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to the dessert shop.

By the way, if Dr. Agasa hadn't told Huihara to go to Izu without worrying about him, Ayumi and her group would have insisted on going to Izu when they went to the doctor's house.

As a result, Dr. Agasa, who was helpless and really liked these kids, agreed to let them go to the Beido Mall to play the Ferris wheel on Sunday, which was noon today. Then, they happened to meet Officer Sato, who looked absent-minded, at the Ferris wheel in Beido Mall.

That's why Officer Sato invited them to eat cake now.

"No reason. We haven't known each other as long as you and her. However, some people feel like they've known each other for a lifetime after knowing each other for a few days, while some people feel like they've only known each other for a few days after knowing each other for a lifetime."

Kishida glanced at Mingmei and explained to Conan calmly.

"I understand!"

Conan pouted and understood the meaning of Kishida's words, but he couldn't help but be suspicious of Kishida in his heart.

Why say so much, just say directly and simply, she is very important to you! Tsk~

"I understand, then I wish you a happy meal. Goodbye!"

Kishida nodded, and Huiyuan cooperated and hung up the phone directly.

"Young man, what you said just now is really good! Sometimes, once you meet the right person, the kind of intimacy that comes naturally makes people want to get close to her, hehe..."

The driver is obviously still a gossiper. I think he has been listening to the conversation between Kishida and others since just now, and now through the rearview mirror in the car. As soon as he saw Huiyuan hung up the phone, he couldn't help but interrupt and said, and then he showed a smile that all men understand.

"Tsk, Master, you must be attracted by beauty!"

Kishida saw that he was talking obscenely, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, very teasing.

He didn't think it was strange that the driver listened to the conversation between him and others. On the contrary, most drivers have this habit, no other reason, they are bored after driving for a long time. That's why he was ambiguous when talking to Conan just now.

"Aroused by beauty? Haha, this word is well used. A beautiful and elegant girl is indeed easy to make people fall in love at first sight... Oh, now it should be said that you are attracted by beauty. So, once you meet such a good girl, you have to take the initiative. Otherwise, when she walks to the hall with someone else's hand, it will be too late and you will regret it. Alas~~ I ran into a red light again!"

The driver looked through the mirror at the three passengers in the back of the car. Since Kishida and Akemi looked very young, they didn't look like a couple who could give birth to a child as old as Huiyuan, and they didn't look like a couple who behaved intimately, so he spoke with a serious and meaningful tone.

But at the end, his eyes became inexplicably lonely, and he sighed softly, as if he was lost in memories, and seemed to be sad simply because he was afraid of not getting double the fare if he ran into a red light again.

"It's too late to regret~"

Kishida repeated in a low voice, and inadvertently glanced at Akemi who was separated from Huiyuan, but saw a look that was also subconsciously looking at him. When their eyes met, Akemi's face "jumped", and her cheeks suddenly flushed like rouge, reflecting her white jade-like face, which was delicate and charming.

"Thump, thump~"

In the sudden silence in the car, Kishida, who had extremely sharp hearing, suddenly heard his rapid heartbeat, beating against the wall of his heart. The heartbeat was more chaotic than ever, shaking his whole world for no reason.

"Ha~"

Kishida laughed dryly, embarrassed and wanted to turn his head back, but Mingmei, who was also blushing, didn't know why, as if her pink neck was fixed by a spell, pursed her red lips, and stared at him with expectation.

The longing eyes were like a magnet, attracting Kishida and he couldn't bear to turn his head.

When their eyes met, time seemed to be frozen. Even a few seconds made Kishida feel like he had spent several autumns, and his mouth was dry.

"I, uh, I, well, I want to ask, you..."

Kishida felt like his tongue was tied, a feeling he had never had in his past twenty years, and for the first time, he was so thick-skinned that he could not speak.

Huiyuan's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that her sister, who had been telling her two days ago that "this kind of thing can't be rushed", could take advantage of the driver's assist and take the opportunity to make a desperate move.

Awesome, my sister, the old ginger is still spicy!

Huiyuan admired in her heart, but she didn't know that her sister just listened to the driver's words, felt the sadness in the driver's words, and was emotional for a while, and the love brain came up...

"Ask, ask me, what, what?"

Seeing that Kishida stopped talking halfway, with a trace of sweat on his forehead, Mingmei was a little anxious and stammered.

Obviously, at this moment, her heart was also extremely uncalm.

"You... huh?!"

Kishida took a deep breath and quietly looked at Mingmei's somewhat shy and anxious eyes. Just as he was about to say something in the charming atmosphere, suddenly, a blood-red font that looked like the word "Da Xiong" formed by flowing blood appeared above Mingmei's head...
