Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 276 New Clerk

Karasuma Akimitsu is not worried that Akai Shuichi will really recover his memory. Since Nagai Akimitsu has no intention of finding a new body recently, Akai Shuichi must also be incomplete.

The simplest reason why Shuichi Akai was not locked up as a test subject was that this man's fighting power and aura meant that he could not be locked up, so it was better to let him go and have fun.

But after thinking about it, he still asked Vodka to deposit 200,000 yen into Akai Shuichi's card every month, mainly because he was worried that he would run out of money and go astray.

For example, a gigolo... or a cowherd... I have to say this guy is somewhat suitable.

With his dangerous temperament and shameless personality, there is no doubt that he can be a top gigolo.

.

"Happy birthday, Conan!" The children from the Junior Detective League surrounded Conan and gave him gifts.

From beautiful notebooks to cute pencil cases, although they looked childish, Conan was still very moved: "Thank you."

Yuan Tai gave a big box of Japanese confectionery: "Well, we can eat it together now. Mom said this is perfect for afternoon tea."

"By the way, shall we go to the Polo Cafe downstairs for afternoon tea?" Ayumi said excitedly, "It seems that the Polo Cafe has finally found a new clerk. It's not a part-time employee, but a full-time employee like Amuro-nii before."

"The new clerk at Café Poirot?" Conan was surprised.

"Yes, yes, I noticed it when I came. There are quite a lot of customers today. Usually, there are not many people in the Polo Cafe at this time." Mitsuhiko nodded.

Huihara Ai glanced at her wallet and said, "Then I'll treat you to some orange juice."

Conan came closer and lowered his voice: "Why do you have so much pocket money? Did Xiaoguang secretly give you pocket money again?"

Huihara Ai raised her head and lifted the hair beside her ear: "Yeah, are you jealous?"

Conan snorted, feeling mixed emotions.

When he arrived at the door of Poirot Café, Conan was surprised to find that there were at least a dozen customers inside, all women.

A man with long black hair, who had his back to them, said gently to a young woman, "Ma'am, you would like an all-fruit sundae, right? Your taste is as sweet as you are."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" The woman's face turned slightly red with embarrassment, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile.

"I will carefully select strawberries for you, the color that best suits your skin." The man said with a smile and turned around.

Conan and Haibara Ai both took a step back in shock.

Azusa Enomoto came over with a smile: "Ah, it's Conan and the Junior Detective Team. You haven't been here for a long time. Would you like to drink something today?"

Conan pointed at the man with a stiff expression: "...New...clerk?"

"Oh, you mean Mr. Yuba Kouichi?"

"Haba Kouichi?"

"Yes, he saw the job posting at our door and came in to apply. The manager is very satisfied with him." Enomoto Azusa lowered his voice and whispered, "He is really good at pleasing female customers."

Huibara Ai snorted coldly.

Conan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt something was wrong.

Yuanta was concerned about something special: "Can he make delicious desserts like Amuro-nii?"

Azusa Enomoto touched his chin and said, "No, his baking is just average, but his stews are pretty good. I think our store will offer a lot of stew sets in the future."

Leading the children to the small table at the innermost part, Conan was still paying attention to Yuba Hongyi over there. Looking at him walking around among a group of female guests with ease, a drop of cold sweat dripped from his head.

"Haibara...that person...doesn't he look very much like Mr. Akai?" Conan said in a low voice.

"Don't pretend, it's simply true." Haibara Ai supported her chin and watched Enomoto Azusa take orders for the children's drinks. She also ordered an orange juice for herself.

Yuan Tai put the Japanese confectionery on the table and opened it: "Clang clang clang clang, dim sum, dim sum, eat some dim sum."

Himimi looked at Conan and said to Ayumi, "I always feel that birthdays should have cakes. Let's order a small cake together."

Ayumi nodded and whispered, "Let's pool our pocket money and order a small cake for Conan together."

Mitsuhiko also came over and said, "Habara has already bought the drinks, she doesn't need to join in the fun, we can just join together."

Several children were talking to Conan and Haibara Ai behind their backs.

However, Haibara Ai and Conan didn't pay any attention at all because their attention was all on Yuba Kouichi.

"The surname Yuba is rare." Conan sneered, "I think it has something to do with Xiaoguang."

"And you call me Hongyi directly..." Haibara Ai had the urge to take out her cell phone and find out what was going on. This pseudonym was too perfunctory.

"But long hair... isn't that the hairstyle he wore when he was in the organization? Wait, he's just out there like this, without even changing his appearance." Conan took out his cell phone, "I should call Hikaru to ask what's going on."

Conan walked out of the cafe with his phone and dialed the number in front of the flower bed at the door: "Xiao Guang, are you available to answer the phone now?"

"It's really rare that you suddenly become so considerate. What's the matter?" Karasuma Akimitsu was reading a book, which was an assignment for the literature class.

"...Akai Shuichi." After Conan said this name, he didn't know what to say next.

"Oh, I just happened to pick him up, and after I nursed him back to health, I let him go." Karasuma Akimitsu said in a flat tone, as if he had picked up a kitten or a puppy.

“… released?”

"Why? I also want to have him sterilized before releasing him. Did he do anything bad?"

"...No, he said his name is now Yuba Hongyi. What's that?" Conan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"He lost his memory, and his brain was probably burned out, but he was quite healthy. After observing him, I thought he should be able to survive well. I gave him a driver's license, but I didn't take care of him afterwards. After all, he didn't look like he was suitable for domestic breeding."

"Nothing, just asking, isn't he a traitor to the organization? Will it matter if he runs into someone from the organization?" Conan asked cautiously. After all, the Poirot Cafe was just downstairs from the office.

"I have cancelled the bounty on him, and the organization will not continue to hunt him down. Where did you see him?" Karasuma Akimitsu put a bookmark on the book he was reading and put it aside.

"He came to work as a clerk at the Poirot Cafe..." Conan breathed out.

"Oh, maybe he saw a familiar place." Karasuma Akimitsu answered casually, "Don't worry, he has lost his memory, and I have already withdrawn the bounty offered by the organization, so there is no need to worry about his safety."

"Will it affect you if the bounty on a former traitor is cancelled so casually?" Conan was concerned about another question, "Gin seems to be very sensitive about the issue of traitors."

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

The door of Poirot Cafe opened, and Yuba Hongyi walked out, slightly bent over, looked at Conan and said, "Little detective, your friends are waiting for you to go in. There is a surprise."

Conan looked up at Yuba Kouichi in surprise, with the phone in his hand: "You... called me little detective?" This was what Akai Shuichi called him, and Conan was a little confused.

"Members of the Junior Detective Team, I heard Miss Enomoto call you that." Yuba Hongyi said with a smile, "You don't like this name?"

"...Do you know who I am?" Conan asked, pointing at his nose.

"Well, I feel like you're a very smart kid. Do you appear on TV often? Today is my first day at work, and I'll remember you and your friends. Why don't you go in? Your friends are waiting for you."

Conan nodded and said into the phone, "I'll call you again in the evening." Then he hung up.

Karasuma Akimitsu looked at the hung up phone, shrugged and put the phone aside.

Gin next to him poured half a glass of whiskey into the open cup. The spherical ice cubes rolled and hit the wall of the cup, making a crisp sound: "You canceled the bounty on Akai Shuichi?"

"Yes, he is dead, and the one released now is a replica without any memories."

"Why not kill him? Will it be useful?" Gin picked up the glass, shook the whiskey gently, and looked at Karasuma Akimitsu.

Karasuma Akimitsu has no interest in whiskey now. He still remembers the headache he had last time. "Let's see how long he can live. You know, according to the body we cultivated, cell division growth and organ maintenance, he only has a lifespan of two months. We need to observe how long he can live."

Gin snorted and took a sip of the wine in his glass: "What if he is killed within two months?"

"If you don't take action, he should be difficult to kill." Karasuma Akimitsu picked up the book again and opened it, then leaned back and leaned on Gin.

"Then why not lock it up so you can keep an eye on it?"

"Armagnac wants to see the effect of the body on memory, as well as soul research. Let him out to see what he can remember after coming into contact with things." Karasuma Akimitsu picked up the bookmark in the Chinese book, "Don't worry, he has a liquid tracker in his body, so he can't run away. And don't you have you? If he really runs away, I'll offer a reward and you can make a special trip."

Gin put his arm around Karasuma Akimitsu's waist and brought him closer. He put down the whiskey with one hand and picked up his phone: "There are still two days left in the Golden Week. Do you have any plans?"

"Catch up on homework."

.

After celebrating his birthday in the cafe, Conan said goodbye to a group of children, leaving only Huihara Ai, who looked at Conan with her arms crossed and raised her eyebrows: "Didn't your sister say happy birthday to you?"

"There's no way he can remember it." Conan waved his hand and said, "In the past, Xiaolan helped us celebrate birthdays and reminded us of birthdays. He can't remember these things at all, although I can't remember them either. So last time we ignored each other, it doesn't matter."

"When is your sister's birthday?"

"April 4nd has passed."

"42..."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just think these two numbers together are not very pleasing." Haibara Ai shook her head.

"42... is it しにん (dead person)? That's true, but for a birthday that you don't choose yourself, how can you pick an auspicious time?" Conan shrugged.

"What about your birthday? 54...it doesn't seem to have any special meaning."

"I'm personally quite satisfied with the day when Holmes and Moriarty jumped off the waterfall." Conan put his hands behind his head and looked through the glass at Yuba Hongyi who was smiling and waiting for several high school girls to order in the Poirot Cafe. He turned back with some depression, "It's too weird. I thought he was just pretending when he liked to laugh when he was looking at Subaru."

"He has lost his memory..." Huiyuan Ai looked inside, "If, as you said, my sister has withdrawn the bounty on him, this kind of life is not bad."
