Mei Xinghai was a little distracted while eating. Mao Lilan noticed it when she was ordering just now. The boy's eyes were neither on the menu nor did he seem to be thinking about other things.

Instead, it's a bit like... observing the people coming and going?

This restaurant lives up to its reputation. Every dish is quite good, and there is nothing wrong with it from presentation to taste.

Unfortunately, Xinghai Yahu's attention was entirely focused on a case that was very likely to happen, and she had no time to savor the delicious dishes in front of her.

He didn't expect to meet the Mori family who also came to eat here. When he saw Edogawa Conan's round head, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, not to mention that there was a superimposed buff this time.

Mei Xinghai glanced at the Osaka high school student sitting diagonally opposite him, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

He had been curious when they met in the hotel before. The Osaka high school student seemed to have really free time, almost on par with Edogawa Conan who was in elementary school.

But poor Xinghai Ya will be enslaved by the piles of exercise books.

This is somewhat excessive and unreasonable.

Are high schools in Osaka so free?

Noticing Mei Xinghai glancing over, Hattori Heiji swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled at him in a friendly manner, revealing two rows of big white teeth with vegetable leaves stuck on them.

The boy withdrew his gaze, took a sip of the orange juice in the cup, and then heard the conversation between Kogoro Mori and Hikaru Midorikawa.

"Xinghai Mei or this kid's family is also irresponsible." Detective Maori was a little drunk, and his words sounded unclear, but he still poured the wine in the glass into his mouth.

When they met in the store just now, Midorikawa asked them why they happened to be eating here. The answer he got was that they were handling a case nearby and the client had not returned home yet, so they came here to eat first.

This is also the reason why Xing Hai Ya feels that there is probably a case happening here today.

"I'm sorry, Mei." Mao Lilan lowered her voice and said, "My father handled a commission for an abandoned baby today. I think he was just emotional and didn't mean it."

"It's okay." Xing Haiya picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. "He's not wrong."

If you let him speak for himself, he might curse even more foully.

Not wanting to go into this topic any further, Xing Hai Ya asked instead, "Are you here to investigate the abandoned baby case?"

"Yes, Dad contacted that family, and they said they accidentally lost the child." Mao Lilan said angrily, "This is too careless."

Mei Xinghai listened silently to the process of Mao Lilan telling the story. In the middle, Toyama Kazuha also interrupted the topic. The two girls shared the same hatred and had decided to talk to the family who lost the child.

The boy gradually became absent-minded. To be honest, it was difficult for him to empathize with such things. He was half full, biting his chopsticks and turning his head to see if Midorikawa had finished eating.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the latter checking emails on his phone, and then his eyes moved upwards, and what he saw was the extremely ugly expression on his face.

Xing Hai Ya or tilted her head, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhu Fujing was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned off the phone screen, and the familiar gentle smile appeared on his face again, "Nothing."

Seeing that he had no intention of saying anything, the boy turned his head away with lack of interest.

But Xing Hai Yahu did not ask further questions. Zhu Fu Jingguang hesitated again. After thinking it over again and again, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, something happened to your guardian."

Hearing this, the boy's eyes widened, he sat up straight and looked at him in shock.

No, are you serious?

But Zhu Fu Jingguang was not shocked. Instead, he took Xing Hai Yahu's reaction as a sign of concern for Ricardo, so he added, "I don't know the details, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Don't worry too much."

No one knew the specific situation better than Xing Hai Ya. He looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang with an indescribable expression, and in his heart he had already guessed the content of the email in the other party's mobile phone.

"I'm not worried about him." The boy's expression quickly returned to its original calmness, but his eyes revealed a bit of resistance to this topic.

Zhu Fu Jingguang wanted to say something else, but soon he received a call from the organization. The phone screen lit up again and Gin's number was flashing brightly.

Facing the suspicious Topkiller, Zhu Fujingguang did not dare to be careless, so he signaled to everyone at the table that he was going to answer the phone and quickly left the restaurant.

Edogawa Conan had noticed them a long time ago, but seeing that Hoshimi Mei's expression was not right, he did not speak rashly.

After Midorikawa Hikaru left, he asked curiously, with a hint of probing in his tone, "Brother Xinghai, what were you talking about with Brother Midorikawa just now?"

Xing Hai Meihu then noticed that there was a little ear eavesdropping here. He put down his chopsticks and no longer had the mood to continue eating. Facing the gaze of Edogawa Conan's two eyes that were as bright as light bulbs, he knew that the other party would not easily skip this topic if he didn't give a reasonable answer.

So he told the truth, "Something happened with my guardian...my brother."

"Your brother?" Edogawa Conan straightened up instantly, his eyes sharp like those of a child, with a hint of Kudo Shinichi in them.

Mei Hoshimi has always avoided the topic of "guardians", and they have both guessed about each other's family situation to some extent, but when he learned from the person himself that this "guardian" was not his parents, Conan Edogawa still felt a pang in his heart.

"Well, but Midorikawa said it's not a big deal, so don't worry." After saying this, Xing Hai Mei didn't intend to continue the topic. He stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Edogawa Conan was in the middle of asking questions. He was about to ask something else, but was stopped by Mao Lilan, "Conan, you can't do this."

The girl gently took his hand and pushed him back to his seat. "Would you like some soup? This soup is very good."

Although Edogawa Conan was a little anxious, he also realized that Xing Haimei didn't want to talk about this, so he sat back down and said, "I want to drink, thank you, Xiaolan."

Immediately, he received a look of disgust from Hattori Heiji's face.
