Chapter 293 The Detectives and Their Convenience Store Jobs
"Wow! Is that the legendary Tokyo Tower? It looks so stylish! Tokyo truly lives up to its reputation as a big city!"
A gasp in a thick local accent rang out behind him. Amuro Tooru, bearing the heavy pressure on his shoulders, raised his voice and echoed, "Yeah! Tokyo Tower is 333 meters tall!"
The pressure on my shoulders suddenly increased!
Amuro Tooru straightened his back and gritted his teeth from an angle where Aunt Hanzawa couldn't see him: "Vienna, if you can't stand up straight, why don't you buy a wheelchair?"
Asagi, half his face shrouded in black mist, chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I just... wanted to bind... some unknown ghost inside!"
"How many times do I have to say it? When it comes to joining Poirot, I applied earlier than you!"
"That's no reason for you to interfere in my real-life friendships!"
Gazing at the two people in front of her, who were chatting and leaning on each other's shoulders, Fanze's mother touched her face and sighed, "Young people are so energetic, those two have such a good relationship!"
"puff--"
Unable to hold back her laughter, Fanze's mother looked in the direction of the sound and saw Heimen Yaoye winking at her with a friendly expression.
"What's wrong, madam?"
Did she mishear? She turned her head again and looked to her right, only to see Fanze Zhenren with a wry smile on his face: "Zhenren, you should be mindful of your appearance and behavior when you're out on the street! We're going to visit the shop where you do part-time work later, aren't we?"
The smile vanished from Fan Ze's face. He pointed at his finger and sighed, "Okay, Mom—"
It all started when Asagi Narumi followed him upstairs for a free meal.
Upon learning of the unexpected encounter with parents and the invasion of foreign enemies upstairs, Asagi resolutely took the lunchbox, removed his work apron, and closed the already struggling shop—there was no other way, the power of the acting shop owner was that great, unlike some migrant workers who went from place to place—and headed straight upstairs to join the ranks of those who came to freeload.
As a result, Bourbon, who was originally in a mediocre state, visibly became more motivated, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Taking advantage of the time they managed to help with the dishes, their conversation can be shortened as follows:
What are you doing here?
'What if I do it?'
"I'm going out with you later, dare to come?"
'A scam? Who are you trying to fool?'
'If you don't come, you're spineless; don't even think about coming again!'
"Come on then, who's afraid of who?"
Of course, if we consider that both of them are portrayed as intellectual and handsome men, their actual conversations sound much more elegant and roundabout.
With Fanze Zhenren suggesting that he take his mother out for a stroll, this delightful and harmonious trip, surrounded by four handsome men, officially began!
......
Our first stop for companionship was the "Triton" DVD rental shop where Fanze Zhenren worked.
"Ding-dong!" "Welcome!"
The dark blue cash register is positioned horizontally on the inside, with a suspicious splatter-like dark brown stain remaining on its exterior paint.
A woman, dressed in a light blue business shirt with a "Kouta Ikumi" name tag on her chest, looking capable yet elegant, stopped her cashier work, and her bright green cat eyes lit up:
"Foreman! You're here to cover my shift today..."
"no!"
Before she could finish speaking, Fan Ze made a big X in front of his chest: "I brought my family to visit today, so no matter what cases you have to investigate, you can't stop me!!"
"Alright then." The cashier switched back to her work and continued typing on her computer.
"..."
Gently patting the Pomeranian in his arms, Kuromon Haruya carefully examined her appearance, pursing his lips and narrowing his eyes with a serious expression:
Isn't this the female coroner who was invited to cause trouble at the Twilight Villa in the original story? How could she be here?
Kuromon Haruya was usually not interested in the shop where Hanzawa Masato worked. He had only heard that Hakuba Saguru occasionally appeared there, but he did not expect there to be an even more troublesome person there.
Before being noticed, he looked away and glanced around: "Huh? Isn't Hakuba Saguru on duty today?"
The cashier casually pointed to the empty computer beside her: "Mr. Hakuba has an urgent case to investigate. If you have a case to file, you can pass it on to Watson, who's filling in here..."
"Huh? Where did Watson fly off to?"
Asagi Shinji: "Fly?"
“It’s his pet eagle.” Fanze Zhenren led everyone to the wall of best duty employees: “Look, the second best duty employee this week is Watson. It’s very smart and can press the keyboard.”
On the red and yellow attendance wall, a half-body photo of Fanze Zhenren with a "Best Employee" badge pinned to his chest is placed at the top, and below him is an eagle with orange-red wings and sharp eyes.
Kuro/An/Ma: "......"
There's simply nowhere to complain!!
Kuromon Haruya took a deep breath and comforted herself: At least there's this precedent in Detective Conan, so no matter how outrageous the things I do with crows, no one will suspect it's magic.
Master Fanze crossed his arms, fully understanding:
"I was also surprised when I first saw him, but considering that he was Hakuba-kun who would say 'My dad is the Superintendent General of Police' and make me work overtime, it made a lot more sense."
Black/An/Ma: No! This sounds like abuse of power and corruption!
Haruya Kuromon turned her gaze toward Tooru Amuro.
The latter's eyes looked like they were dead, which made people feel much better.
Standing in front of the attendance wall, after looking at the person and the eagle, it's natural to check the staff composition of the store.
His head slowly moved down, and Kuromon Haruya's gaze swept over the names one by one:
Haruka Motegi, Ikumi Gunda, Jujiro Ogami, Tan Hakuba...
He blinked, unsure what he was seeing, then rubbed his eyes with his right hand, which was covered in dog hair, and looked again from bottom to top:
Hakuba Detective, Ojojiro Ojo, Ikumi Gunda, and Haruka Motegi.
These names, although not those of main characters who appear very frequently...
But upon closer inspection, aren't they the same famous detectives who were invited by Granny Senma to investigate the Karasuma Renya residence in "Twilight Villa Arc"?!
