People are in Conan, but the Shura field

“Thank you.”
Chen Nuo smiled and nodded.
Xuemei, a female college student who worked part-time in this cafe, blushed instantly. She walked back while holding the food tray, muttering to herself.
This guest’s appearance was not outstanding, even a little ordinary, but why did his smile make her heart beat faster?
Xuemei couldn’t help but look back at Chen Nuo.
My heart beat faster.
Could this be the love she had been waiting for? Was this the person written on the fortune she got from the shrine before she came to work here?
Xuemei hesitated for a long time, but couldn’t help it. She took a banknote and wrote a line of small words on it with a pen:
[I like your smile very much. The room at Matsuba Hotel is very suitable for watching fireworks. Do you want to go with me in the evening? ]
She took a drink and handed it back to Chen Nuo, pressed the tissue under the cup, and tapped it lightly with her fingertips.
“This is the signature dish of our store, please have a taste.” Miyuki smiled playfully, “It’s free.” Before leaving, she deliberately lifted her curly bangs.
Everyone says that when she does this move, she has the temperament of the big star Yukiko Kudo, so that should add a lot of points, right?
Chen Nuo looked at the waitress’s back and was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he might have been picked up.
He has never seen Kudo Yukiko herself, and every time she appears in the original work, she mostly plays tricks on Conan.
Therefore, Chen Nuo could not appreciate the charm of this girl’s movements at all.
However, after Chen Nuo came to this world, he had encountered this situation many times.
He skillfully put the tissue into his pocket, thinking that he would throw it away after leaving the restaurant.
After all, the girl had no ill intentions, so there was no need to embarrass her on purpose. Besides, she was not the only clerk in this store. If she left the note here and it was seen by other clerks when they were cleaning the table, it would probably cause trouble for her, right?
Chen Nuo took a sip of coffee, stared at the old man, and waited patiently for the prey to come.
Kisaki Eri also noticed the abnormal communication between Chen Nuo and the waitress out of the corner of her eye.
She was very familiar with this kind of scene because she had suffered many losses at the hands of Kogoro Mouri.
Although Chen Nuo did not go directly to ask for the other party’s phone number, it might be because he was pretending to investigate, or he felt that the other party was not pretty enough?
No matter which one it is, it’s a trouble for Xiaolan and her.
However, due to the angle and the fact that she could only observe secretly, Kisaki Eri did not notice the tissue with the ambiguous words written on it.
“Lawyer Fei, is there really no other way—”
The words of the client’s brother who was sitting opposite her brought her thoughts back to reality.
Kisaki Eri pushed the hacker’s gold-rimmed glasses on her nose and wondered why there were such tricky things everywhere.
While Chen Nuo was waiting patiently, he would occasionally secretly observe the situation on Kisaragi’s side.
Kisaki Eri seemed relatively calm, but the man sitting opposite her was a little impatient, no, it should be said that he was irritable.
He even resisted the urge to bang his head on the table several times, causing many people to look at him sideways.
On the train, Chen Nuo listened to Fei Yingli briefly talking about the case.
Japan has a rule that if there are plaintiffs or defendants who cannot afford the legal fees, one of the registered lawyers will be randomly selected to serve as their defense attorney.
For the sake of their own reputation, barristers will certainly do their utmost to defend their clients to avoid damaging their reputation and affecting their income.
Many lower-class people and even murderers who cannot afford the high lawyer fees have turned the tide by relying on this mechanism.
Kisaki Eri is in a similar situation this time.
The only difference is that this time the client is lying in the hospital due to injuries, sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious.
And because her parents were no longer alive, all matters were entrusted to her brother to handle.
Although Eri Kisaki had tried her best, even at the cost of offending an entrepreneur who had a certain influence in Izu, not only did she humiliate the other party, she was also ordered to pay a large sum of money to the victim.
But his brother always thought that the compensation from the other party was not enough, and wanted Hibiki Eri to continue to appeal and get more compensation.
After a brief understanding, Kisaki Eri found out that this person owed a lot of gambling debts and probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.
But even if it was her, she couldn’t ask for an exorbitant price and could only operate within the scope permitted by law.
After a period of stalemate, this guy actually said on the phone, “If my sister died, I could get more compensation, right?”
Hibiki Eri was worried that the other party would do something irrational, so she quickly ran over to comfort him, and at the same time wanted to see if there was any way to protect the victim.
Chen Nuo saw Feiying frowning and thought that she must be in a difficult situation too, right?
If it were someone else, they might just walk away and do nothing.
It seems that Kisaki Eri is a gentle person at heart, just like Xiaolan.
Perhaps because he thought of Xiaolan, Chen Nuo felt that Kisaki Eri in his sight seemed to have suddenly become a dozen years younger.
The midday sun shone through the glass window and sprinkled on her cheek. Her delicate and straight nose became translucent under the sunlight. Her skin was as white as a girl’s and felt more tender than the skin of most girls in Teitan High School.
For a moment, Chen Nuo actually found it difficult to tell whether the person sitting in front of him was Kisaki Eri or Xiaolan.
Just as he was stunned, someone pushed the door open. It was a sturdy man wearing a leather jacket. There was almost no expression on his face. He looked cold and a little scary.
Moreover, Chen Nuo could clearly sense a hint of murderous intent from him.
Although it is definitely inferior to gin, it should be at least one-fifth of the strength of vodka, Chen Nuo thought.
The man ordered a drink and walked straight towards the bathroom.
The target that Chen Nuo was monitoring followed in not long after.
Chen Nuo glanced at the coffee bar on the cold-faced man’s table. The straw was pinched into a strange shape.
So drinks were used as a secret code?
While thinking, Chen Nuo walked towards the bathroom.
Looking at Chen Nuo’s back, Hibiki Eri couldn’t help but frown, wondering if this was the purpose of his disguise?
What case is being investigated?
Fei Yingli’s thoughts drifted to Chen Nuo again, and she wanted to go over and take a look.
“Can you please focus for me? Didn’t I arrange for you to be my sister’s lawyer? Why are you so absent-minded if I don’t pay you?”
The client’s brother slammed the table, attracting a lot of people’s attention.
Kisaki Eri: “I’m sorry, please calm down————”
“How can I calm down? My sister is like that, and you want me to calm down.” As he spoke,
His saliva sprayed into Hibiki Eri’s coffee.
Kisaki Eri frowned and pushed her coffee forward.
“If you don’t want to make a fool of yourself over this, you’d better take it seriously.” The man said angrily, “I have something else to do. I’ll call you later.”
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and was about to walk out.
“Wait a moment…”
Kisaki Eri hurriedly picked up her bag and chased after him.
Chen Nuo quickly dealt with the opponent. After all, that person only had one-fifth of Vodka’s strength and could not pose a threat to Chen Nuo.
As for why we have to wait until here to take action?
Of course, it is to get both the money and the information.
This information was only known to the two parties involved in the transaction and the winery, and neither group of people was aware of the existence of the winery.
So if both sides are cheating, the first person they will definitely suspect is the other side. Gin’s plan is to let them fight each other.
After confirming that the money had arrived, Chen Nuo put the materials into his bag and walked out of the cafe.
After a long time of hard work, it was already around two o’clock in the afternoon.
The weather was still a bit hot and humid, and I would sweat a lot after walking a few steps, so there were not many people on the road.
I really want to find a place to cool down, but I still have to send out the information in my hand quickly and throw away this disposable outfit, so as to avoid any trouble when those two people wake up, Chen Nuo thought.
Just took a few steps.
“That’s pretty impressive. Judging from your expression, you must have made a lot of money this time, right?” A voice suddenly came from behind.
It only took Chen Nuo 0.1 second to determine that the person behind him was Kisaki Eri.
However, Chen Nuo’s good psychological quality allowed his body to continue moving forward without any hesitation.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground.
Kisaki Eri ran up to him and blocked his way with her arms open.
As her arms stretched, the magnificent pectoral muscles under Kisaki Eri’s white shirt shook in a dizzying way.
Chen Nuo couldn’t help but be amazed by what he saw.
“Stop acting, there’s no one else around here.”
“What do you mean? Do you need help?” Chen Nuo said in a disguised voice. Although this voice was not as exaggerated as Vermouth’s when she was in disguise, it was very different from his voice.
Hibiki Eri’s expression remained unchanged: “Do you want me to call Xiaolan?”
Chen Nuo: “What do you mean?”
“Tell me what happened on the train just now. Xiaolan won’t be angry, right?” Kisaki Eri pushed her black-framed gold-rimmed glasses, and the lenses reflected a chilling light.
Chen Nuo: “.—·
Twenty minutes later, in a cafe far away from the scene of the incident.
“How did you find me?” Chen Nuo asked curiously, “Oh, I don’t like sugar in my coffee. The two of them deliberately sat away from the glass window, mainly because they were worried about being seen by others.
But this led many people to misunderstand that they were lovers who secretly met each other.
After all, when Kisaki Eri, who has the aura of a queen, is with Chen Nuo, it is really hard for people to imagine that they are a couple.
At most, he is a kept gigolo.
Kisara picked up the coffee and took a sip: “It’s a habit.”
Because the dining table is made of transparent glass, you can see Kisaki Eri’s long, plump, white legs as she crosses her legs just by lowering your head.
Out of habit, Hibiki Eri half-took off her high heels and hung them on her toes, swinging them back and forth. On her white and soft bare feet, one could vaguely see sweat reflecting a faint light. The mysterious gap between the sole of her foot and the sole of her shoe made people want to reach in and take a look.
“Habit?”
“As for eating habits, I heard from Xiaolan that you like to eat blueberry peanut butter sandwiches, right? The taste of coffee can also be used as a reference.” Kisaki Eri said lightly.
Chen Nuo was shocked. He didn’t expect that he would reveal a flaw in such a place.
He was wondering if he had been discovered by Kisaki Eri at the time, so he subconsciously followed his own habits when ordering food. He didn’t expect to be discovered by someone. Fortunately, it was an acquaintance.
“Actually, I’m not too sure, but considering the way you looked at other female customers’ thighs before, I feel like it’s pretty close.” Kisaki Eri added.
Chen Nuo felt a little embarrassed. He quickly picked up the coffee and took a sip, thinking, is there really such a reason?
Chen Nuo felt even more guilty when he thought about how he had focused more of his attention on Kisaki Eri at that time, but she avoided mentioning it.
Damn it, why does it feel like I’m being taken to an interrogation room by this big lawyer and forced to confess?
“I did that to disguise myself.” Chen Nuo couldn’t help but explain.
“Yeah.” Hibiki nodded expressionlessly, “The disguise is very good, very real.”
The faint smile on her face made Chen Nuo feel under great pressure.
Chen Nuo quickly changed the subject: “Um – what do you want me to do?”
Hibiki sighed: “You were just pretending to investigate…”
Kisaki Eri talked to Chen Nuo about his disguised investigation in the coffee shop just now.
At first, Chen Nuo was worried about how to explain it to her, because Chen Nuo didn’t want to involve innocent people. People who knew about the existence of the winery usually didn’t have a good ending.
However, what made Chen Nuo somewhat fortunate was that Kisaki Eri seemed to have misunderstood.
Relying on her keen insight, Hibiki Eri judged that Chen Nuo might be taking on some investigative commissions in the gray area because there are indeed many detectives who make a living from this. Although it will damage their reputation to a certain extent, they can make money really quickly, and the most important thing is that there is almost no waiting for this kind of commission, and there are many customers.
Fei Yingli understood Chen Nuo’s family situation. If she followed the routine, it would be almost impossible to climb to a high position in this country with rigid class structure.
She didn’t object to Chen Nuo doing this.
