Chapter 201 The tape is in hand
"Excuse me, who are you? I don't remember having a client make an appointment to come in and commission something outside today?"
In the Dejima office, Ukihiko Zaizu looked at the four strangers in front of him and asked.
"Ah, no, I just want to use the toilet."
Mingmei said to him with a smile.
She is very satisfied with her current life. Although she cannot use her identity when she goes out, she is very satisfied that she can live freely in the sunshine and see her sister often. In addition, her sister can also live a normal life.
Therefore, even with the disguise, she didn't want her current life to be ruined due to her own negligence. Moreover, if she really revealed her true identity to these elders, it would not be a good thing for them.
Just like Kudo said, he was indeed considered dead in the eyes of the organization, but he had been here before. The organization would most likely arrange people to keep a close eye on this place, wanting to know if he had left any information here.
If she told them her true identity and they accidentally revealed it during communication, her current wonderful life would be unsustainable.
"Is that so? The toilet is over there."
As he spoke, Cai Jin pointed to the restroom at the back and said casually.
Since these people are not here to commission anything, there is no need for him to pay attention to them.
On the other hand, Imai looked at Mingmei with a puzzled expression on his face. He didn't know why, but he always felt that there was something familiar about this girl and the child behind her.
"Thank you."
Although Mingmei knew where the bathroom was, she didn't show it. Instead, she pretended to be there for the first time and walked towards the bathroom.
Conan and the other two just stood quietly in the room, waiting for Mingmei to come out.
"Hello, may I ask..."
Imai, who was standing aside, looked at the three figures, and the familiar feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. Finally, he couldn't help it and came to Ai, wanting to ask her something.
However, before he could finish his words, Mingmei came out of the bathroom.
She looked at Imai with a gentle smile on her face:
"Uncle, do you want to play with my sister? Thank you, but we are just strangers to each other. From now on, we will probably never see each other again. You must persevere."
Looking at the smiling face in front of him, a familiar feeling welled up in Imai's heart. This feeling...
"Oh, okay, I get it. Uncle, I will continue to work hard. Little sister, you have to work hard to survive too!"
With that familiar feeling, he had guessed that the girl in front of him should be the gentle Mingmei. Only she could so easily clear the murderous intent in his heart.
However, even though he had guessed something, he would not tell anyone about his guess.
Mingmei, who came in disguise, had encountered two thieves in her office since her last appearance. Although the thieves did not steal anything, it was precisely because of this that it was more clear that the thieves' purpose was not simple.
Connecting these two things, he could probably guess that Mingmei must have been involved in some dangerous incident.
"Mingmei, thank you for your comfort. I will persevere. You, on the other hand, must also live well! I hope that next time, before I hate that guy Dejima, you can use your own appearance to personally introduce your sister to me."
Looking at the figure walking away, Imai gave a sincere wish in his heart.
"Imai? What are you doing? If you don't hurry up, the president will say something bad about you when he comes back. What? Are you attracted to that little girl? Don't dream. She looks like she's only in her teens or twenties. How dare you, a fifty-something uncle, do that?"
Next to him, Cai Jin looked at Imai standing at the door, looking at the three people gradually going away, and also laughed and teased.
"Don't talk nonsense. I just feel that there is a very warm feeling about those children."
In response to Caijin's teasing, Imai said unhappily, then returned to his workstation and started the next work.
Although he still hated that guy Sohei Dejima, he had now temporarily given up the idea of killing him.
......
On the other side, seeing her sister just go in and use the toilet and come out directly, Xiao Ai said with some dissatisfaction:
"Is that all? Just using the restroom? Then what on earth are you doing here, sister? It's obvious that all we need to do is ask the great detective and Dr. Chengshi to come over, right?"
"Xiao Ai, you can't say that."
Mingmei patted her sister's head and said with a smile:
"That house is our ancestral home, after all. Dad inherited it from his parents. Even if there's no other reason, you should get to know your hometown~"
"Humph, it's already been transformed into that state, and it's still our home, what a joke."
Xiao Ai struggled to break free from her sister's hand and said angrily.
However, despite saying this, there was a hint of thought and relief in her eyes at this moment.
My own home? If the organization's problems can be resolved, maybe one day I can actually go back.
Although I have no memory of it, but this is the house where my father grew up? It looks pretty good.
Seeing the look of reminiscence in Ai's eyes, Akemi smiled. As expected, even though she had no memories of her parents, Shiho must still care about them.
In this way, when she hears the gift her mother left for her, she might really cry.
Thinking of this, Mingmei glanced at the tapes she had put away, a sly smile flashing in her eyes.
"By the way, sister, did you find what you were looking for?"
Suddenly, Xiao Ai seemed to have thought of something and asked Mingmei curiously.
"Of course. However, Ai can't know what that thing is for now~"
"elder sister!"
"Haha, it's not that I don't want to tell Ai, it's simply because those things are tapes. We are outside now. Even if I want to tell you, Ai won't be able to hear what's inside, right?"
Mingmei said, winking at her sister playfully.
"Sister, you..."
Seeing her sister's expression, Xiao Ai rolled her eyes in annoyance. Sure enough, her sister still loved to make fun of her.
Looking at the interaction between the two sisters, Conan smiled and his steps unconsciously quickened a bit.
He couldn't wait to see what kind of expression Ai would have when she heard the contents of the tape.
