As night fell, the cold wind was still biting outside, but the interior of this western-style restaurant was as warm as spring.

There are men and women at the tables covered with red tablecloths. Young men and women in white waiter clothes walk around with smiles and serve food to guests.

"This restaurant is pretty good." Ayako said with a smile after tasting the chef's craftsmanship.

"If you can say it's good, then it seems to be okay."

Tang Ze cut a piece of steak and said with a smile: "It should be fresh. Although the meat of this beef is not excellent, it is better than fresh."

As a guy with a keen sense of smell, he is different from the daughter of Ayako, relying not on accumulated experience, but on his nose.

This is why he always has high requirements for restaurants.

Originally, he was a little obsessed with cleanliness. After having a super sense of smell, it was like an extra "microscope", and he had higher requirements for cleanliness.

This is also why he often goes to the restaurant at Kohei with Ayako. It goes without saying that the food is delicious, and cleanliness is also a major factor.

"Are we here a little early?" Ayako looked around, "Why haven't I seen Chiba and the others?"

"It should be coming soon." Tang Ze looked at the time, and then he heard the motivation of the door and turned his eyes to the door subconsciously.

But when he saw the people who pushed in the door, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are they?"

"Ah, Xiaolan and the others are here too."

After hearing Tang Ze's words, Ayako subconsciously turned her head to look at the door, and saw Kogoro Mouri walking towards the restaurant with Xiaolan and Conan.

And the actions of the two naturally attracted the attention of the three people on the opposite side, Xiao Lan smiled and walked over quickly after seeing it, "Sister Lingzi, Tang Ze criminal, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, you also chose this day to come. eat?"

"I didn't expect you to come back..." Tang Ze greeted the three with a smile, while raising his vigilance.

After all, he encountered a "classic combination" where the three of them, Mouri Kogoro, Xiaolan, and Conan were present at the same time, so he couldn't help but be more careful.

"I heard that this is what you recommended to Xianyi?" On the other side, Ayako didn't know what Tang Ze was thinking. After seeing Xiaolan, she smiled happily and said, "It tastes good."

"Sister Ayako, if you like it." Xiaolan was very happy to hear that, after all, it was the place she recommended, so it's normal to be popular and happy.

"Then we won't disturb the two of you on a date."

Maori Kogoro looked at the surrounding environment and smiled: "But this kind of place feels more suitable for young people like you, or to hold a friendship or something."

"Uh..." Tang Ze and Ayako looked at each other and laughed.

"Sister Ayako, what are you two laughing at all of a sudden?" Conan couldn't help asking innocently when he saw the two suddenly laughing in confusion.

"To be honest, the two of us came here today not only to try this restaurant recommended by Xiaolan, but also to have something to do with friendship." Ayako said with a smile.

"Eh? Friendship?" Xiaolan said in amazement, "What's going on?"

"On this point, let the two explain."

The cup that Tang Ze held up shook towards the rear of the crowd, and when the three of them turned around, they found Chiba and Takagi walking towards them.

"Isn't this Mr. Maori? Good evening." Chiba greeted everyone with a smile after seeing everyone: "I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence."

"Chiba Criminal~" Xiao Lan greeted with a smile when she saw the person who came, "Even Takagi Criminal is here too."

But unlike Chiba's generous and generous, after seeing Mouri Kogoro and the three of them, Officer Takagi has been hiding under Chiba's large figure.

It's a pity that you were seen by Xiaolan and greeted you without realizing it.

It's just that this greeting made Takagi's face turn green in panic, and he said that it was not good.

It was already a shameful thing to come to participate in the association, and what was even worse was that he actually met an acquaintance here.

And this acquaintance has a good relationship with Sato Mikako.

It was fatal! !

Unfortunately, the more he hides, the more he attracts Conan's attention.

At this moment, he took the question that Ayako said before, ran to Takagi and said curiously: "Takagi criminal, just now, sister Ayako asked you about the friendship, what is going on?"

"what!?"

When Takagi heard Conan's immature childish voice, it was a shock, and he couldn't even speak in a panic: "I, I...that..."

"Will you two big men come to eat here?"

Maori Kogoro has obviously seen through everything, with a teasing look on his face: "Miss Ayako just said that they will come here to have something to do with the friendship. You are not here to participate in the friendship, are you?"

"Ah, that's right." Chiba smiled and said, "We are indeed here to participate in the association."

"Eh? Friendship?" Xiaolan asked quickly after hearing the words: "What's going on? Does Sato Criminal know about this?"

Takagi looked at Xiaolan in a panic, and found that the other party looked at the "scumbag" expression, even with the child Conan, which made him even more panicked.

"That's not the case, I just pulled Chiba over to make up the number of people!"

Takagi quickly explained, but no matter what he said, there was a trace of guilt in his words: "It's all Chiba who forced me to come here, and I can't refuse it!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly grabbed Chiba's shoulder and said, "Is that so, is that so, right!?"

"Eh..."

Seeing Takagi's panicked look, Chiba nodded again and again, but she smiled bitterly in her heart.

After all, the panicked appearance of the other party, even if what he said was the truth, it sounded like a fake.

"So please, don't tell Sato the criminal about this matter." Takagi face begged at Xiaolan and Conan in a humble look.

"Okay, calm down, you've really turned into a fake like this."

Tang Ze smiled and relieved Takagi: "Actually, Chiba called me too, don't you think I'm here too."

Then Tang Ze explained the matter clearly, including the reason why Ayako was here.

"So Tang Zemin is more like a guest of this gathering."

After listening to Tang Ze's explanation, Xiaolan nodded clearly, but then changed her voice: "But under the same circumstances, Tang Ze told Sister Lingzi, and even brought Sister Lingzi with him, while Takagi As a criminal, you secretly came here..."

As the saying goes, people are afraid of comparison, and it's okay to face this situation alone, but with Tang Ze "beads and jade in front", Takagi's approach was disliked by Xiaolan and Conan.

"That's different..."

Seeing the disgusting expressions on their faces, Takagi smiled bitterly: "I'm not a celebrity like Tang Zemin, I was originally pulled over by Chiba to make up the number.

Wouldn't it be strange to know that you brought your girlfriend to a party..."

"That's right..." Conan nodded, but still warned: "But you can also explain the situation to Criminal Sato."

"Conan is right." Xiaolan heard the words and said, "Only two people can live for a long time if they are honest.

You see, even a child like Conan understands the truth. You should learn more about Takagi Criminal! "

'He's no ordinary kid...'

Because of his contact with Conan, even if Takagi didn't know his true identity, he felt that Conan's mental maturity was different from that of ordinary children.

Of course, now the situation is stronger than people, he can only honestly laugh at it.

"Mr. Mori, why don't we go together?"

Seeing that Takagi was "criticized" and embarrassed, Chiba quickly said to help change the topic: "If you and Tang Zemin were here, today's friendship will definitely be a great success!"

"Wait..." Xiaolan had no other purpose, she couldn't help but lie when she heard Chiba's words.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Maori Kogoro felt a little embarrassed when he saw his daughter's flustered expression, and said suspiciously: "It's just to have a meal, and it's not for you to join a friendship, why are you panicking?"

"this and that…"

Xiaolan also panicked when she looked at the suspicious-looking father. She quipped: "Actually... I even called my mother to come..."

"Come on, no wonder."

When Maori Kogoro heard the words, the elder raised his face instantly: "I said why you suddenly said that you are going to the newly opened very good western restaurant."

"What's the matter!" Xiaolan said dissatisfiedly: "I can't even have a meal with my mother?"

Hearing that, Kogoro Mouri didn't dare to say anything more. Although he still had a bad face, he didn't have any follow-up complaints.

Obviously, Maori Kogoro still owes something in this regard.

But unfortunately, just when Chiba and others were about to leave, Xiaolan suddenly received a call from Fei Mi, saying that she could not go to work again today.

This disappointed Xiaolan, and finally, under the comfort of Ayako, followed Tang Ze and his party to the side hall where the Friendship was located.

When I arrived at the hall where the association was located, I found that there were already many people gathered here, and some of the tables were already drinking.

"It's so late, Chiba."

Just after everyone was seated, a man with dyed blond hair came over to say hello: "The ladies have already arrived, and they are starting to make trouble."

"Sorry, let me introduce you, this is my friend from middle school, Masashi Emoto." Chiba first introduced his friend.

Compared with Chiba, the temperament of the two part-time jobs is completely different.

He has a golden inch head, and although his face is dark, his facial features are good, and he feels a little handsome.

A criminal with a good face like Chiba is completely two types of people.

According to Chiba's introduction, the other party is the "mastermind" of this association, that is, the initiator.

After that, Chiba introduced Tang Ze and Mouri Kogoro to each other.

"I didn't expect to be able to meet the "famous detective" and "the famous criminal". It's an honor."

Jiang Benjian rubbed Chiba's stomach with a smile: "When he said he knew Mr. Tang Ze, I thought he was bragging."

When he heard the other party calling him a teacher, Tang Ze knew that the other party was his book fan. When the other party took out a copy of "Malicious", he hoped that Tang Ze would not be surprised when he helped to sign, and took out a pen from his pocket. Signed the other party.

After all, Tang Ze had already anticipated this situation, so he prepared a pen for signing.

"You guy, your mouth is still so bad." Chiba on the side rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I can still lie to you."

"Mainly because I didn't expect you to be a criminal."

Speaking of which, Jiang Ben rubbed Chiba's stomach with a rippling smile: "Among the girls who came today, there are two very punctual."

"Really!?" Chiba and Takagi blushed instantly when they heard the words, looking expectant.

Seeing Takagi's rippling appearance, Xiaolan and Conan instantly showed expressions of disgust, and the simultaneous cold hum instantly made Takagi's expression stagnate.

He realized that he was a little carried away, and after seeing the eyes of the two, he felt that he might not be able to explain.

"Is that so? It's really, really good, Chiba!" Takagi quickly restrained his expression and looked for Chiba's sake, trying to clear his "suspect".

"Could it be that one of them is the elder sister you said would come today?" Chiba asked curiously after hearing what her friend said.

"Not at all."

Masamune Emoto rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, "One of them is a friend of mine that my old sister has known for a long time, and then I heard that the other is a friend of that person."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ben said with a smile: "I think you have a good chance of succeeding this time~"

"Oh? How do you say this?" Chiba's expression lifted when she heard her friend's words, and she wanted to know why the other party said that.

"Because they are both engaged in police work like you." Jiang Ben said with a smile: "You are also criminals, so there must be a common topic."

"and many more!!"

Chiba and Takagi looked stunned after hearing Masashi Emoto's words, and their voices became difficult: "Police administration... work..."

"Yeah, maybe you guys still know those two criminal girls in miniskirts." Jiang Benjian didn't notice the bad faces of the two, but he still laughed to himself.

"mini skirt?"

Hearing this, the two of Takagi became suspicious: "Is the one you said really a criminal? We are not allowed to wear such clothes in our daily work~lightnovelpub.net~ Just because you can't wear them on duty, That's why I have to dress better in private~"

At this moment, a familiar, drunken female voice came from behind the two of them, and the two of them turned back in fright: "Yu, Yumei!!"

"Oh hoo~ it's Takagi and Chiba-san~ What are you two doing here~~"

When Tang Ze and the others looked over, they found that Yumi with a flushed face was shaking drunk beside the two of them, completely drunk.

"What, you really know each other." Jiang Ben said with a smile after hearing the words of the two: "What a coincidence."

But Chiba and Takagi didn't think it was a coincidence at all. After all, they still remembered that Masashi Emoto said that the other party came from two people, and the other was a friend of the other party.

And since Miyamoto Yumi is here, it is self-evident who the other person is...
