My neighbor's name is Conan

"I don't think that should be the case!" Haibara Ai said at this time.

"Ah!" Several little ones looked at Huibara Ai.

Huihara Ai said slowly, "In that game, the hero had one successful shot and two successful assists. He was in good shape no matter how you look at it. But he is also a human being, and he was defeated under great pressure in the end."

Yuan Tai was unhappy when he heard this and said, "It's really embarrassing for the hero!"

"That's not the case." Conan said as he dribbled the ball: "A soccer superstar known as Italy's national treasure once said, 'The only people who miss a penalty are those who have the courage to face it.'"

Mitsuhiko agreed with Conan's words and quickly echoed, "That's absolutely right, because everyone thinks that he should have scored the penalty."

"So being a hero isn't shameful at all." Ayumi also echoed, "Right."

"That's right!" Sayuri followed.

Conan was distracted by what the little ones were saying and his foot slipped. He failed to catch the football that he was bouncing in his hand and it fell to the ground and rolled out.

"But, but!" Yuantai was still unwilling. "We have heroes and Naoki. The Tokyo Soul team has maintained a six-game winning streak. They are really awesome. Why did they lose~"

While complaining, Yuantai stretched out his foot and kicked the football that rolled to his feet away as if to vent his anger.

The football was catapulted into the air and hit the wall, then bounced off the wall again and landed on the roof of a blue car. Unfortunately, there was someone in the car.

"Ah!" Yuan Tai realized he was in trouble and looked terrified when he saw this.

The person sitting in the blue car opened the door and got out with a bad look on his face. He looked at Yuan Tai and scolded him, "What are you doing? Do you want to damage my car?"

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa hurried forward to apologize, "I'm very sorry, I'm in a bad mood because the team he supports lost." As he said this, he put his hand on Yuanta's head and bowed to him.

The other party looked unhappy when he saw this, but did not pursue the matter. Instead, he taught him a lesson: "Be careful!" and then returned to the car.

At this time, Ayumi looked around and said in confusion: "Where did the ball go?!"

"How would I know!" Yuan Tai said even more unhappily.

"Yuanta, remember this!" Conan said seriously, "Not everyone who is strong will win..."

Before Conan finished speaking, a voice beside him said the second half of the sentence: "Only those who win can be called strong."

"Ah!" Conan was stunned, and everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from. It was a middle-aged foreign man with golden brown hair.

He looked nostalgic and continued, "This is also the best sentence I'm most proud of saying!"

Being taught a lesson by someone he didn't know, Yuan Tai looked at him unhappily and asked, "Uncle, who are you?"

"Ah, you're talking about me!" The foreign uncle picked up the football in his left hand and said humorously, "My beloved car was dirty and scratched by some naughty kid. I'm a foreigner with bad luck."

Yuan Tai opened his mouth wide when he heard this, "Ah!"

He didn't expect that the other party would be the victim and might very well become his creditor.

Aoki Matsu felt a little embarrassed about this.

Dr. Agasa said quickly: "What should I do? I'm so sorry."

The foreign uncle did not pursue the matter, but returned the football to Yuantai and said with a smile: "Come on, NO PROBLEM, you don't have to worry." He had no intention of pursuing the matter.

Hearing this, the little ones all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ayumi showed a surprised expression on her face and said to him: "Uncle, even though you are a foreigner, you can speak Japanese well!"

"Ah!" The foreign uncle smiled and said, "Because I got married here. My personality is that once I like someone, I will love her language as well. Having said that, I have been divorced once, so now I can speak three languages." Looking at the foreign uncle who was laughing, several people didn't know what to say for a moment.

In the end, it was Haibara Ai who broke this strange atmosphere.

"I don't care much about these, but if we don't go to that store soon, the cheesecake we want to eat might be sold out." Taking out her cell phone and checking the time, Huibara Ai urged.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Dr. Agasa came back to his senses and quickly looked down at his watch.

"Hmm? Cake? Oh, you mean the store called Ikenaka on the Second Floor. My wife also likes their cheesecake very much. In fact, I came here to buy that cake today." Hearing the children's destination, the foreign uncle couldn't help but show a surprised expression. I didn't expect that their destination was the same.

"Second Floor? But isn't the store called Ikenaka on the third floor?" Mitsuhiko, who had already learned English in advance, said with some confusion.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, it's on the third floor." The foreign uncle smiled embarrassedly when he heard it.

At this moment, the ringing of his cell phone interrupted what he was about to say. After turning around and talking to the other end of the phone, the foreign uncle said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my ex-wife calling from her parents' home to tell me about our son's further studies, but the signal seems to be not very good."

"Wouldn't it be better to discuss such an important matter face to face?" Dr. Agasa said cautiously.

"No, I don't think they can meet whenever they want. Because your ex-wife is in England now, right?" Conan put one hand in his pocket, showing off his reasoning ability, and said confidently with his head raised.

"You...how did you know?" This scene that seemed like personal information was leaked scared the foreign uncle, and he looked at Conan and the others with a bit of panic in his eyes.

Conan explained seriously, "The quote 'The strong may not necessarily be the winner, but the winner must be the strong' is from the German football emperor Franz Beckenbauer. I don't just like him, I am also a proud compatriot. So uncle, you are actually German, right?"

"Oh, yes." The foreign uncle nodded. Was he someone who would reveal his personal information so easily?

"Then uncle, the three languages ​​you know are German, Japanese, and English that you can speak from time to time. Since your current wife is Japanese, your ex-wife must be someone who can speak English." Conan couldn't help smiling as he explained.

Mitsuhiko had a question at this time: "But people who speak English are not necessarily British, they could also be Americans."

Mitsuhiko, who inadvertently acted as a compliment, did not notice the upward curve of Conan's mouth.

But before Conan could answer, Haibara Ai, who knew the most about the differences between American English and British English, said, "I see, it's because of the Second Floor just now. Because it's the same third floor, in the United States people are more accustomed to saying Third Floor, while in the UK people are more accustomed to saying Second Floor."

"But why? Doesn't Second mean 'second'?" Mitsuhiko was very interested in such knowledge.

"In Britain, they call the first floor the Ground Floor, and the floors above are First, Second, and Third, so it was easy for me to guess. It is based on this point that I concluded that this uncle's ex-wife should be British." Conan has changed from putting one hand in his pocket to putting both hands in his pockets, and he is very proud of himself.

You really love to show off!

Aoki Matsu rolled his eyes when he saw this. This was the reason why Aoki Matsu didn't want to recognize Conan, because Conan, or should I say Kudo Shinichi, was a person who could not change his nature and loved to show off his reasoning ability.

The foreign uncle who had listened to the entire analysis process covered his mouth with his palm to prevent the sound from being transmitted, and whispered in the ears of Dr. Agasa and Aoki Matsu: "Is that boy... that boy really just a boy?"

"This... ahahaha..." Dr. Agasa showed a polite smile on his face. How should he respond?

Aoki Matsu smiled and said, "They all learned from me. I'm a criminal." This was a reluctant way for Conan to save the situation.

"Oh!" The foreign uncle stopped asking questions after hearing this.

After listening to Conan's reasoning, Ayumi looked at the foreign uncle and asked, "In that case, do you want us to buy it for you as well?"

"That would be great. I really need to call her back, and it might take quite some time." The foreign uncle looked at the children gratefully, and was obviously very moved by their proposal. "Then could you please buy me a cheesecake?"

"Well, no problem, but we still plan to eat in the store, so you may have to wait a little longer." Dr. Agasa nodded. He was just helping to buy something, and the cheesecake was not expensive. He could just consider it as an apology for Genta kicking the football just now.

"It's okay, thank you so much." The foreign uncle said happily.

"Then let's go quickly." Sayuri urged, unable to wait to taste the delicious cheesecake.

"I don't want to go." Genta's words instantly made Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Sayuri stare at him.

The incredulous tone in her mouth showed Sayuri's confusion vividly, "Yuanta, we are going to eat! It's a delicious and sweet cake!"

Is it really okay for Yuantai to not even be interested in delicious food?

"But the Tokyo Soul team lost! How can I still eat any cake?" Yuantai said unhappily.

"Yuanta..." Mitsuhiko wanted to persuade him, but Yuanta interrupted him directly, "You guys go up and eat by yourselves. I'm really not in the mood."

"Let him be. Food won't taste good if you eat with someone who is in a bad mood anyway." Haibara Ai said with the expression of an experienced person.

Mitsuhiko didn't agree with this reason, "Ai!"

But the others agreed with Haibara Ai's opinion. Conan said to Genta, "In that case, you have to wait for us in the car."

"I know..." Yuantai replied with an unhappy look on his face while holding the football.

After leaving Yuantai, who had suddenly become stubborn, in the underground garage, everyone took the elevator to the interior of the department store and then found the Ikebukuro Cake Shop.

Contrary to Sayuri's worry that the shop was too famous and that many people would come to buy cheesecake, although there were many people in the cake shop, delicious cakes continued to come out of the oven and were packed into takeout boxes or served on exquisite porcelain plates.

After waiting in line for a few minutes, it was Aoki Matsu and his friends' turn.

This store also offers small sample service.

Aoki Matsu tasted it and found it was indeed delicious, so he and Dr. Agasa each selected a cheesecake to take away, and then chose a few pieces of cake according to the different tastes of the children, preparing to eat in the store.

Soon their cakes arrived, and Aoki Matsu started eating right away, and the first thing he ate was the store’s signature cheesecake.

Cheesecake is also called cheesecake.

The crispy biscuit base and the soft cake body are really delicious.

"It tastes really good." Sayuri expressed Aoki Matsu's thoughts.

It’s worthy of being a signature brand.

It's delicious!

At this time, after Conan took a bite, he looked at Ayumi and Mitsuhiko with some confusion, "Why don't you eat it? It's delicious."

"But..." Ayumi said with some sadness.

Mitsuhiko continued: "When I think about Yuantai not coming, I feel a little bit..."

"Don't be silly!" Huihara Ai took a sip of tea and smiled softly, "It's okay, don't worry about him."

At this time, a waitress came over with a takeout box and asked, "Who would like takeout?"

"Ah, here, here." Dr. Agasa responded quickly.

Upon hearing this, the waitress hurried over and said with a smile, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Thank you for your help." Dr. Agasa took the five takeout boxes, four large and one small, with a smile, and then said with a smile: "These three big boxes are ordered by Aoki, and he wants to take them back. This big box is what the gentleman asked us to help buy, and this small box is of course for Yuanta to eat!"

"Ah!" Mitsuhiko and Ayumi immediately laughed when they heard this.

Sayuri looked at Qing Musong curiously and asked, "Brother, why did you buy so much?"

Three big boxes, how long will it take to finish them?

"One box is for Xiang Baoli, one box is for grandpa, grandma, dad and mom, and the other box is for Uncle Maori and Xiaolan." Qing Musong glanced at Conan casually and said faintly: "Your sister Xiaolan and Uncle Maori both like to eat cakes. Since we are here, and cheesecake is really delicious, we naturally have to bring them some. I think Conan only knows how to eat, and he definitely hasn't thought about it. You have all eaten it, but Xiaolan has never eaten it. Xiaolan is so pitiful!"

Upon hearing this, Conan felt as if he had been shot by Aoki Matsu and hit right in the center of the target - he had indeed never thought of bringing cheesecake back for Mouri Ran.

It would have been fine if Aoki Matsu hadn't said anything, but as soon as he said it, Conan suddenly felt unwell.

Not only Conan, but also Haibara Ai was reflecting on whether she should bring a piece of cheesecake back for her sister first, instead of coming here for afternoon tea when they are free in the future.
