Stay away from Conan.

After the incident occurred in the Lookout Restaurant, the guests who were originally present were basically unrelated to the incident, so they were released early after dinner after a brief investigation by the police.

Therefore, the only guests still in the restaurant at this moment, besides Taiji Tatsumi and others who were related to the incident, were Xiaolan and Xiaoai. And because Gao Yuan and Shinichi Kudo were investigating the incident, it was not convenient for them to leave alone, so they continued to sit in their seats, watching the police walking around, not knowing when the matter would be over.

After all, Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi were currently separately looking for other relevant staff members in the store to ask about some matters, so it was not convenient for them to follow them. Therefore, it was better for them to continue to stay at the dining table, and -

The food on the table had not been finished yet.

but……

——"Even though Shinichi is back, everything still feels the same. I don't know when this will end..."

So, sitting at the dining table, silently eating the unfinished meal, Xiaolan couldn't help thinking this in her heart, and she didn't know when Shinichi and the others' investigation would be completed -

"I've kept you waiting for so long!"

At this moment, a waitress in the store came over, brought a new dish to Xiaolan's table, and explained:
"I'm so sorry that something like this happened in the store and affected your meal... I see you haven't left yet, so this is the dessert the manager ordered for you to taste. You seem to be worried about something, is that okay?"

As she said this, the waitress brought over a plate of cream cake that looked very delicately made.

Seeing this, Xiaolan was surprised by the waitress who came to deliver the meal. Then, facing the waitress's concern, Xiaolan couldn't help but reply:
"Ah, this... I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. Actually, it's mainly because my friend is currently assisting the police in their investigation..."

So, hearing Xiaolan's answer, the waitress was stunned for a moment, but then she couldn't help but smile:

"okay, I get it……"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing the waitress's reaction, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little surprised and confused, so she asked this question.

As a result, in response to Xiaolan's question, the waitress explained apologetically:
"Ah! Sorry... You two really look like the couple our steward mentioned before! They were also at this table at that time, but that was twenty years ago..."

"Hey?"

Xiaolan was very surprised and didn't quite understand how this was related to something that happened twenty years ago.

So the waitress continued:
"Twenty years ago, that man came back from solving a case and said something loudly to that lady, so you'd better be mentally prepared!"

Interestingly, when the waitress said this, her expression was also filled with a deep smile.

"Huh? What did he say?"

Xiaolan became more and more confused about what the waitress was trying to say.

So, seeing that Xiaolan was still so confused, the waitress couldn't help but get close to her face and said to her happily:
"Oh! It's a proposal!"

"what?"

Immediately, hearing this, Xiaolan's face flushed.

Although, I had thought about it in a similar direction today, but...

Proposing to someone, this is too...

"Anyway, good luck!" After saying this, the waitress stopped teasing and left after saying this to Xiaolan while holding the empty plate.

At this point, Xiaolan was left a little confused, and kept thinking about the word "proposal" in her mind. This direction that Xiaolan had never thought of originally made Xiaolan obviously confused. She kept thinking whether Shinichi really had similar thoughts when he asked her to come here this time...

"No, no way..."

Sitting quietly at the dining table, Xiaolan looked at the dessert that had just been brought to her by the waiter. Xiaolan was a little distracted and seemed very at a loss.

As for this, the situation here was watched by Xiao Ai beside her——

After all, for Ai, since Gao Yuan has already gone to investigate, there is no need for her to pay too much attention to it. In addition, with Kudo still around, this incident will eventually be solved. When the time comes, if she wants to know the story behind it, she can just ask Gao Yuan. There is no need to inquire about anything now...

Even so, Ai was curious about the story between the parties involved in the incident.

However, since there was no need to think too much about the matter, Xiao Ai would naturally pay attention to Xiao Lan who was sitting in the restaurant hall at the same time.

Speaking of which, Kudo asked Xiaolan to come here. What was his idea...

According to what the waiter just told her, it seems...

Kudo he...

So, as Xiao Ai thought about this, her eyes couldn't help but look to the other side, and she saw another waitress coming to her side with a plate of dessert cake, as if she was going to serve her dessert just like Xiaolan did.

However, she seemed to have arrived a little earlier, but she seemed to be looking at Xiaolan just now.

Then, until now, after the waitress on Xiaolan's side finished explaining the matter to Xiaolan and left, the waitress next to him seemed to have finished reading a story, and continued to walk to Xiaoai and served the dessert -

Such an expression made Xiao Ai look at the waitress with a puzzled expression, as if she had some thoughts in her mind.

"Sorry, this is a dessert cake sent by the restaurant."

When placing the cake on the tray in front of Xiao Ai's table, the waitress said this to Xiao Ai with a smile. Then, under Xiao Ai's gaze, the waitress also looked at Xiao Ai and continued with a faint expression:

"However, this cake contains 'Sherry'. I don't know if it suits your taste. I hope... you like it!"

Suddenly, as these words came out, the waitress's tone suddenly revealed an emotion that moved Xiao Ai a little, and Xiao Ai couldn't help but tremble all over.

This feeling……

In this way, Xiao Ai managed to keep herself from losing her composure and watched the other party turn around and leave after saying what he had just said.

As for this, Xiao Ai was already filled with great fear in her heart. Then, after calming down a little, she clenched her fist, as if she had made up her mind. She immediately stood up from her seat and said to the waiter who was about to leave:

"Excuse me, can you please take me to the restroom?"

After these words came out, the waitress who was about to leave couldn't help but stop for a moment, turned her head to look at Xiao Ai's reaction at this moment, and then suddenly smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said calmly:

"Of course..." (End of this chapter)
