Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Time passed by, and Michiwaki Masahiko still hadn't arrived. Everyone was playing cards until they were bored to death. After all, with Mori Ran present, no one could win. She was like a god of war. No matter how they played, she always won in the end.

Sonoko threw the cards in her hand, touched her stomach, and complained helplessly: "What the hell is this Michiwaki Masahiko doing? Even if it's raining outside, it shouldn't be so late, delaying my meal!"

Conan narrowed his eyes and complained silently in his heart: "This woman, Sonoko, has the same bad taste in men as always. Hmm... No, it seems that she is the one who is favored this time..."

Huiyuan Ai, who was standing by, replied calmly, "Maybe someone stood you up."

"Ahhh! That's too much!" Yuanzi stood up suddenly, put her hands on her hips, and looked very angry. "I won't wait any longer! Let's go eat! I'm starving!"

Seeing Sonoko's frustrated look, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, being so late was a bit excessive. Mao Lilan also smiled and said, "Yeah, let's eat first."

Just as everyone was about to get up and walk out the door, Yuanzi suddenly touched her pocket, her face changed, and she screamed: "Ah! Oh no! I forgot my wallet! Wait for me!"

After saying that, she hurried to her room. Everyone was already used to Yuanzi's confusion, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Mao Lilan shouted to Sonoko as she disappeared around the corner of the corridor, "Sonoko, we're waiting for you at the hotel entrance!"

Yuanzi waved without turning back, and her voice came from afar: "I know, wait for me for five minutes!"

Mao Lilan smiled helplessly and looked back at Chen Shuo: "Yuanzi is still the same, always so reckless."

Chen Shuo smiled and stroked Huiyuan Ai's hair. "That's not bad. At least she looks happy. It would be great if she was half as cheerful as Sonoko."

"No way!" Huiyuan Ai slapped Chen Shuo's evil hand away and stared at him fiercely: "Perverted uncle!"

Everyone smiled at each other, then slowly walked towards the hotel entrance, waiting for the always reckless Miss Suzuki.

Everyone walked to the door of the hotel and were about to open it when they suddenly heard Yuanzi's loud roar from upstairs: "Who are you? What do you want to do?" Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of glass breaking, which made people's hearts tighten.

Conan instinctively turned around and rushed to Sonoko's room without hesitation. Mao Lilan followed closely behind him, her face full of anxiety, and she shouted anxiously: "Sonoko! Are you okay?"

Behind them, Chen Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, alert in his heart. He picked up Huiyuan Ai, but did not rush upstairs. Instead, he chose to walk around the hotel. Huiyuan Ai raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Aren't you worried about your apprentice?"

"It should be fine as long as Xiaolan is here." Chen Shuo replied, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, secretly wondering what had happened.

The two of them came to the door of Sonoko's room. At this moment, Sonoko was standing on the balcony, her face full of anger, her palms pressed tightly on her bag, as if ready to take out something incredible at any time. Mao Lilan looked at her, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and comforted her: "Sonoko, don't be nervous, we are here."

Conan kept looking around the room, searching for any useful clues.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shuo gently touched Yuanzi's hair, trying to comfort her.

"I just pushed the door open and saw a dark figure rummaging through my bag! When he saw me come in, he actually tried to pounce on me with a knife! Luckily, I reacted quickly and dodged it. After all, it's not convenient to use that thing here, so I could only yell!" Sonoko said angrily, patting her bag with her hand, as if she was complaining. Everyone understood what she meant. After all, there were so many people here, it was indeed inconvenient.

Chen Shuo nodded and said seriously, "It seems that you will need to undergo CQC training in the future. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous to encounter such an inconvenient situation in the future. However, did you see clearly what the person who attacked you looked like?"

Sonoko shook her head and said in confusion, "The strangest thing is this! I didn't see the person who attacked me at all. I looked carefully, but all I saw was a dark figure. I really don't know what's going on."

Chen Shuo was also a little confused, frowning slightly: "Logically speaking, this is impossible. If they attacked you, they should be very close to you. How come they didn't see anything?"

"Maybe you're too nervous." Mao Lilan comforted her, "Don't worry, we will find clues."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Michiwaki Masahiko, who had been late for a long time, finally appeared. He was wet all over, his pants were covered with mud, and he looked very embarrassed. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Conan looked up with a sharp look in his eyes and thought to himself: "This is really a 'coincidence'."

Michiwaki Masahiko saw everyone and quickly apologized, his voice full of apology: "Sorry, sorry! My car broke down halfway, and I had no choice but to run all the way here. I'm so sorry everyone!"

Seeing him like this, Yuanzi's anger faded a lot. She curled her lips and sarcastically said, "You're not late, you're running a marathon, right?"

"Haha, that's right, it's more tiring than any sport I've ever participated in!" Michiwaki Masahiko could only respond with a wry smile. Seeing his miserable appearance, everyone said they didn't care.

Mao Lilan shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to eat anymore." Her eyes were wandering, obviously she was still frightened by the previous incident.

Michiwaki Masahiko saw that everyone looked uninterested and figured that going out for dinner was out of the question. He thought for a moment and finally said, "Then I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning and take you to a very famous seaside restaurant for dinner. It's my treat as an apology."

"Really?" Yuanzi's eyes lit up and she instantly regained some spirit.

"Of course, I will never be late again!" Michiwaki Masahiko said seriously, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Michiwaki Masahiko exchanged a few pleasantries and then turned to leave. But with his back to everyone, he didn't notice that everyone was looking at him with a hint of deep meaning in their eyes.

After such a mess, no one wanted to leave for the time being, so they ordered a table of food in the hotel. Yuanzi sat next to Chen Shuo, holding his arm, with a look of grievance on her face: "Brother Shuo, I must learn some powerful moves when I get back! If I could fight like Xiaolan, I wouldn't be so frustrated today!"

Chen Shuo could only nod his head repeatedly in agreement to his helpless apprentice, thinking to himself, "I hope you won't complain." He smiled and said, "Okay, I will teach you well, don't worry."

The dinner dishes arrived one after another. The waiter, a dark-skinned man with glasses, saw Yuanzi, arm in arm with Chen Shuo, laughing and chatting with everyone. His eyes darkened, and he hurriedly served the dishes and left.

Mao Lilan looked at the waiter's back and said jokingly, "This store seems to be doing good business. The waiters are very busy!"

"Maybe he was shocked by the beauty of two beautiful girls, Xiaolan and me, and he became shy as a result." Sonoko continued with a sly smile on her lips.

Seeing Yuanzi's carefree look, Mao Lilan raised an eyebrow, took Chen Shuo's other arm, and asked jokingly: "Yuanzi, how long are you going to hold my boyfriend?"

Yuanzi was not shy at all, instead she hugged him tighter and replied with a smile: "Shuo Ge is my master, what's the big deal! Right, Shuo Ge?"

Chen Shuo couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, not participating in the conversation between the girls at all. However, he secretly sighed in his heart: This girl is really shameless.

After eating for a while, Chen Shuo suddenly asked calmly, "Yuanzi, Xiaolan, let me test you. Do you have anything to say about this incident?"

Mao Lilan was picking up a piece of meat with chopsticks and gently placing it in Haibara Ai's bowl. A smile played on her lips. "Michiwaki Masahiko is so suspicious! And his performance is so deliberate. His breathing is even and his muscles are relaxed. It's obvious that he doesn't look like he just ran a long distance."

While chewing her food, Sonoko added, "Although I didn't see the person who attacked me clearly, judging by his physique, he's definitely Michiwaki Masahiko. And after my brief contact with the black figure, I felt his muscle density was similar to Michiwaki Masahiko's, so I can basically confirm that the black figure is him."

Conan listened to the two women's analysis, his eyes widened, and he was once again shocked by his two childhood friends: "Huh? Can you tell just by looking at their figures and physical condition?"

The two women looked at each other and smiled. Mao Lilan said with a smile: "Although we are not as smart as you, Brother Shuo has been training us on the human body. We are very familiar with the human body, so it is not surprising that we can come to this conclusion."

"Yes, what Brother Shuo taught me is really useful." Yuanzi nodded in agreement, looking proud.

Chen Shuo smiled slightly, feeling somewhat relieved. Although it was only to help them better understand the body's most vulnerable parts, it was also very satisfying to be able to help them think in a different way. "It seems that the training is effective."

"Then why didn't you say it at that time? I think with this perverted uncle here, he could be subdued easily, right? Even if you, sister Xiaolan, are the only ones who can suppress him, right?" Haibara Ai suddenly asked, with a bit of doubt in her tone.

After hearing this, Yuanzi sneered: "Because I want to see what this guy is up to? It's obvious that he's coming for me from the beginning. How can I sleep well if I don't find out..."

Looking at Sonoko's expression and thinking of the pistol in her bag, Conan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Don't... wuwuwuwu!" Conan had just said a few words when Chen Shuo blocked his mouth with a rice ball.

"Shut up! You have no right to speak! Just eat your meal!"

Everyone laughed when they saw Conan choking on the rice ball and being unable to speak. This guy's sense of justice was indeed naive and a bit annoying sometimes.

At night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Inside the room, Mao Lilan snuggled in Chen Shuo's arms. Chen Shuo leisurely sipped the coffee in his hand, nodding from time to time: "The coffee beans here have a unique flavor. You can try to buy from here in the future."

Mao Lilan frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "Brother Shuo, will Yuanzi be in danger tomorrow?" She was still worried about what happened today.

Chen Shuo put down his coffee cup, hugged Mao Lilan tightly in his arms, and said with a smile: "There is definitely danger, but it's not a big problem. Although Sonoko behaved a little badly today, it's because she is not convenient to shoot. As long as that Michiwaki Masahiko dares to attack Sonoko in a deserted place tomorrow, then..."

He didn't finish his words, but his words carried an unspoken certainty. Mao Lilan understood and nodded, "Sonoko is indeed very capable, but I still don't understand why that man went through Sonoko's bag? Is he just an ordinary thief?"

Chen Shuo shrugged and smiled nonchalantly, "There should be more than that. If it was just an ordinary thief, he wouldn't attack Yuanzi. He must be looking for something. But let's leave the deduction to Conan, he's better at it. Now... go to sleep!"

Chen Shuo said as he picked up Mao Lilan, causing her to scream in surprise and then giggle: "Brother Shuo! You are so bad! You scared me to death."

Chen Shuo said nothing more. He gently placed Mao Lilan on the quilt and laid down with her in his arms. Mao Lilan's cheeks flushed slightly. She rubbed her head against Chen Shuo's chest, raised her head, and looked at him with her big, watery eyes. Chen Shuo lowered his head slightly, and the two kissed passionately.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Scared, the two of them hurriedly stood up. Chen Shuo's eyes flashed with a coldness, and he almost wanted to pull out his gun as a reflex. However, Yuanzi's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Shuo, Xiaolan! Open the door, Xiaoai and I are here!"

Chen Shuo and Mao Lilan looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Ran Mouri got up and opened the door, but saw Sonoko and Haibara Ai standing outside the door, each holding a quilt, with a righteous look on their faces.

"You..." Mao Lilan didn't know how to react, and could only look at the big and small people in front of her with her small eyes.

Sonoko laughed and walked straight into the room: "Oh, I was attacked today, it was really scary! In order to avoid being attacked again, I decided to sleep with you guys, it's safer."

Huibara Ai followed in expressionlessly and nodded: "Yes, that's right, we are dangerous, it will be safer to sleep together."

"Ah~~~?" Mao Lilan looked at them in confusion, not knowing what these two people were up to.

When Sonoko and Haibara Ai turned their backs to Mouri Ran, they gave Chen Shuo the same evil smile. At this moment, the two women were like real sisters, full of tacit understanding.

Looking at the two women's slightly smug expressions, Chen Shuo immediately understood: These two girls were clearly here to cause trouble! But... what could he do? Sighing, Chen Shuo fell asleep with a gloomy face, helpless, out of sight, out of mind.

Mao Lilan couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Although she didn't know what Sonoko and Haibara Ai were up to, sleeping with her good sisters wasn't a big deal. The atmosphere in the room gradually changed from charming to relaxed. Several people found their own seats, ready to spend an unexpected night sleeping together.
