Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Saturday arrived, and the weather in Beika Town was exceptionally sunny. The sky was a clear blue, without a single cloud in sight. The sun shone brightly on the streets, bathing the entire city in a radiant atmosphere. Today was the day Chen Shuo and Mao Lilan had agreed to visit Dorobiga Land together.

Early in the morning, Suzuki Sonoko arrived at the "Jingxin" coffee shop. She was dressed in light sportswear, her face brimming with excitement. Upon entering, Sonoko spotted Amuro Toru standing behind the counter. As a frequent coffee shop visitor, Sonoko, a member of the community, was already familiar with Toru, especially since he was quite handsome.

"Hey, Amuro-san, you look in good spirits today!" Sonoko greeted him while walking straight to Amuro Toru and leaning casually on the counter.

Amuro Toru responded with a smile, his hands moving non-stop: "Ms. Sonoko also looks very energetic today. It seems that she has made full preparations for this trip."

"Of course! It's rare for us all to play together today, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Sonoko looked excited, with a glint in her eyes. "By the way, Amuro-san, aren't you going?"

Amuro Toru shook his head and smiled gently: "No, I still have to stay here to look after the shop. If I go, the cafe will be closed and the boss will dock my salary."

Just as Sonoko and Amuro Toru were chatting, the door of the cafe was pushed open again. Maori Ran and Maori Kogoro walked in, followed closely by Kisaki Eri. Seeing them appear at the same time, Sonoko's eyes immediately lit up: "Huh? Aunt Kisaki is here too! What a rare guest!"

Kisaki Eri smiled gracefully, still looking calm and composed: "Xiaolan called me yesterday and insisted that I come over early today."

"Ha! I wonder who started looking forward to it last night." Kogoro Mouri snorted in dissatisfaction, with his hands in his pockets. He was obviously a little awkward, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was happy.

"What did you say? If it weren't for Xiaolan, I wouldn't bother to accompany you." Kisaki Eri snorted coldly, her eyes swept over Kogoro, with obvious dissatisfaction in her words.

Maori Kogoro was not to be outdone: "Tsk, me too! Humph, I only came out with you reluctantly for Ran's sake!"

The two began bickering as soon as they opened their mouths, but everyone watching could see that their bickering was just another expression of their affection. Mao Lilan felt a warm warmth in her heart as she watched her parents bicker. She couldn't help but smile with relief and whispered, "I must find a way to reconcile Mom and Dad today and let them live together again."

When Toru Amuro heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't often participate in these family affairs, he could see that the relationship between the Mori couple was actually far less tense than it seemed.

"Everyone is here." Chen Shuo walked out of the store, waved to Amuro Toru with a smile, and said, "I'll trouble you to look after the store today. Remember to treat the customers well."

"Don't worry, boss, I will take good care of this place." Amuro Toru responded politely.

Chen Shuo nodded and led the group out of the cafe. Outside, a Toyota Hiace H100 sat parked steadily on the curb. Its sleek lines and powerful design exuded a sense of strength. The car boasted ample space, a simple yet spacious interior, easily accommodating seven to nine passengers. The seats were soft and comfortable, and the amenities were comprehensive, making it ideal for large groups. The Toyota logo on the front shone brightly in the sunlight, giving the vehicle a dignified and imposing appearance.

Chen Shuo smiled slightly and pointed at the car: "This is our vehicle for today's trip. It's more fun if we all go out together."

When Suzuki Sonoko saw the car, her eyes lit up immediately: "Wow! Brother Shuo, this car is so spacious! I feel like it must be very comfortable to sit in!"

Maori Kogoro walked up to the car, took a look, and said in surprise: "This car doesn't look cheap. Brother Chen, how did you get such a car?"

"Where did you get this car?" Kisaki Eri was also a little surprised and couldn't help asking.

Chen Shuo smiled and spread his hands: "Nothing, just borrowed from a friend."

As everyone was about to get on the bus, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Looks like you're going out?"

Everyone turned to see Kudo Shinichi standing by the roadside, his hands in his pockets, a confident smile on his face. He was dressed casually, looking relaxed and at ease, but his gaze was as sharp as ever.

When Mao Lilan saw him, she said happily: "Shinichi! You are here!"

Kudo Shinichi smiled softly and walked straight to the Toyota Hiace. He examined it carefully, then raised his brows in a thoughtful expression. He patted the car body and said calmly, "This car... Mr. Chen Shuo, although this car looks ordinary, it's actually not an ordinary car, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Shinichi, why are you so sarcastic today? Shuo said he borrowed it from a friend, what's wrong?"

Shinichi's lips curled slightly, his expression becoming proud. "This car may look ordinary on the outside, but the details of the body and tire pattern actually hold a secret. First of all, ordinary Toyota Hiace tires are mostly economy models, but this car's tires are high-end bulletproof tires, and there are special explosion-proof markings on the sidewalls. This type of tire is usually configured for vehicles with special purposes, such as transporting important people or valuables."

At this point, his eyes darkened slightly, and he tapped lightly on the car window a few times. "Besides, the window glass of ordinary vehicles isn't this thick. These windows are clearly thickened and made of a stronger material to resist external attacks. I've seen in the literature before that the Sumiyoshi-kai often uses these specially made Toyota Hiaces as a means of transportation for their important figures."

His words silenced everyone present. Maori Kogoro frowned, clearly unhappy. "What do you mean, you idiot?"

Chen Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young detective in front of him, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes: "Kudo boy, what do you want to say?"

Kudo Shinichi looked directly at Chen Shuo, his tone full of doubt: "Mr. Chen Shuo, I'm not targeting you, I just think your car seems a little different from ordinary cars. This car is very likely related to the Sumiyoshi Group. Who are you?"

"Shinichi! How can you say that?" Mao Lilan was a little angry when she heard this, "Shuo-ge is our friend. It's very rude of you to say that to him!"

Suzuki Sonoko also looked at Kudo Shinichi with dissatisfaction: "That's right, Shinichi, we finally got together to play today, and you start by doubting others like this. This is very annoying, you know?"

Although Maori Kogoro was usually unreliable, he also frowned at this moment: "Hey, you idiot, you better be careful with what you say. Today is to celebrate Xiaolan winning the championship, and you can't act wildly!"

Kisaki Eri also frowned slightly and crossed her arms: "Shinichi, I know you are good at reasoning, but sometimes you also need to be careful with your words and not make groundless guesses about other people's identities."

Seeing that it seemed to have aroused public outrage, Kudo Shinichi quickly explained: "Lan, that's not what I meant. I just think that Mr. Chen's friend can lend the Sumiyoshi-kai's car. This relationship is quite special..."

"Enough!" Mao Lilan interrupted him with obvious anger in her eyes, "How can you doubt Brother Shuo like this? He has known us for so long, and he has been very good to me. It's so rude of you to say that!"

Kudo Shinichi realized that his words were a bit too harsh and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, Ran, I'm just worried about your safety..."

Kisaki Eri glanced at Kudo Shinichi and said in a cold tone, "Kudo Shinichi, before you suspect others, you must first have sufficient evidence. We are here to have fun today, not to listen to your reasoning."

Kudo Shinichi's face flushed crimson after being criticized by everyone. He realized that he had been too concerned and spoke impulsively, and he couldn't help but lower his head: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient... I'm sorry, Mr. Chen."

Chen Shuo looked at Kudo Shinichi and smiled slightly: "Kudo boy, my identity is actually not important. Today is the day for Xiaolan and everyone to get together, and I don't want to be disturbed by unpleasant things. However, this car is indeed borrowed by my friend, and his identity is not important. We just need to have fun."

Kudo Shinichi stared at Chen Shuo for a long time, then gave Mao Lilan an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Um... can I go with you?"

Mao Lilan sighed. Although she was a little angry with Shinichi, after seeing him apologize, she couldn't bear to blame him anymore: "Forget it, Shinichi, since you are here, don't worry about these things anymore. What do you think? Brother Shuo?"

Chen Shuo kept smiling, appearing unfazed, as if Shinichi's reasoning and questioning hadn't affected him at all. He waved his hand gently, saying indifferently, "It doesn't matter. One more or one less person makes no difference to me."

Although the Mori couple were somewhat dissatisfied with Shinichi's behavior, they were juniors after all, so they couldn't say much due to face. Suzuki Sonoko snorted coldly, obviously not looking at Shinichi with a good face: "Really, Kudo Shinichi, you are really annoying this time."

Kudo Shinichi scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I will behave well today."

The awkward atmosphere eased slightly, and Chen Shuo swung the car keys: "Kogoro, do you want to try it?"

Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up: "Oh? You want me to drive? That's great, let me show you my driving skills as the famous detective Maori Kogoro!"

Chen Shuo threw the keys to Maori Kogoro, then turned to Kisaki Eri and said, "Eri, you can take the passenger seat. Xiaolan will take care of the rest!"

(That’s awesome, Brother Shuo!)

Mao Lilan praised Chen Shuo in her heart. This obviously gave her father and mother more opportunities to chat!

Everyone got into the car. Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi sat in the middle, Chen Shuo and Suzuki Sonoko sat in the back, and Kisaki Eri sat in the front passenger seat. Mao Li Kogoro sat firmly in the driver's seat and started the engine. The Toyota Hiace slowly drove away from Beika Town with a steady engine sound.

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed. Although they occasionally recalled the previous incident, they were mostly immersed in the upcoming park experience. Even the Maori couple, who often bickered, seemed to be in harmony. The Toyota Hiace H100 had a smooth and spacious ride, and the atmosphere inside the car gradually became relaxed and pleasant.

Chen Shuo looked at the smiles on everyone's faces in the car, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Although he had been a little unhappy just now, looking at everyone's smiling faces, he also felt that this weekend should be a beautiful memory. This was the daily life he wanted.

The car drove under the sunshine, heading towards the Dorobiga paradise filled with laughter and joy. The scenery changed, the wheels spun, and their laughter and anticipation filled the air along the way.

Dorobiga Paradise, a paradise of countless joys and surprises, is waiting for their arrival. This day will become an unforgettable and beautiful memory for them.
