Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

The next day, the bar that Shirakawa Qiu customized arrived.

He was directing people to move things inside, but when he turned around he saw Conan and Ran Mouri coming down from upstairs.

"Good morning, Mr. Shirakawa!"

"Good morning, Ran and Conan."

Baichuan Qiu took a step back somewhat unnoticeably, still with a smile on his face.

Mao Lilan looked at the decorator with some surprise: "Is the cafe going to be renovated?"

"No, it's just that the bar counter top is broken, I'm replacing it with a new one." Baichuanqiu explained.

Conan looked up and saw the decorator carrying a heavy table top out.

There were several very obvious knife cuts on it.

Conan's expression froze, his originally nonchalant attitude changed instantly, and he stared closely at the knife edges.

"Ah, that's weird."

The child's cry made Baichuan Qiu's nerves tense.

They both turned their heads at the same time.

Conan pointed at the knife marks on the table and asked in confusion: "Did Mr. Shirakawa stab the table with a knife? Why does it look like there are so many knife marks?"

"Eh?"

Baichuan Qiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and bent down to touch Conan's head: "Conan has a strong sense of observation! Well, actually, there was a rude customer yesterday. Because of some unpleasant things between us, he used a dinner knife to damage our bar table."

Mao Lilan and Conan were surprised at the same time: "Is it really too much?"

Mao Lilan frowned and asked worriedly, "Are Mr. Shirakawa and Miss Enomoto okay?"

It sounds scary.

Baichuanqiu: "It's okay, he just poked the table and left quickly."

Conan also asked: "Mr. Shirakawa, did you call the police? Guys like this must be punished! This is too much."

You stab the table with a knife today, what will you stab with the knife tomorrow?

A total violent person.

"Well, he left too quickly. Plus, he didn't cause us any harm, so I didn't pursue the matter." Bai Chuanqiu helplessly spread his hands, "Forget it, it's just a small matter. There's no need to call the police and make a big fuss. After all, when you run a business, you're always going to meet all kinds of people."

Mao Lilan sighed: "Mr. Shirakawa is too kind."

Baichuanqiu smiled.

The young man stood by the street, his posture tall and straight, and he was extremely eye-catching. While chatting with the two people, one big and one small, in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and then turned to another direction.

Mitsuo Ueshita, who was originally going to take this route to work, was so frightened when he met those emotionless eyes that he stepped back repeatedly, turned around, crossed the road, and crawled around to another block.

—He never wanted to go near that madman again! Never again!

Looking at the man's fleeing back, Baichuan Qiu withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and the smile on his face became more sincere.

"Are you going to Nichima TV?" Shirakawa Qiu tried to recall it in his mind, but he had already forgotten a lot of the content about Conan. For a moment, Shirakawa Qiu didn't know what they were going to the TV station for.

"Yes, it's almost time. Mr. Shirakawa, Conan and I will leave first." said Ran Mouri.

"Okay, bye."

Baichuan Qiu smiled and waved.

After the two of them had gone far away, Bai Chuanqiu turned around, thought for a moment, and handed the driver a wad of banknotes: "Hello, please help me take these exchanged items to the destruction station."

The driver took a look and said, "Sir, your bike is actually quite good. You can make some money back by selling it second-hand."

"Please." Bai Chuanqiu just smiled and thanked, "This table is not very auspicious, I just want to go and get rid of the bad luck."

After hearing such mysterious words, the driver didn't say anything else and agreed directly.

The marble material used in the new bar is very comfortable both in terms of quality and appearance, which directly improves the overall level of the cafe.

The only thing that made Baichuan Qiu sad was the beautiful price.

Watching Azusa Enomoto happily wiping the new countertop, Shirakawa Akane covered his empty wallet and forced himself to be happy.

It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s just a small amount of money…

In fact, if possible, he would rather move out of Mihua overnight and stay away from Conan and those detectives.

Unfortunately, the wallet does not allow it.

"Destroying criminal evidence is what a qualified criminal should do. Host, doing this is also part of your growth, please don't be too sad."

The system comforted Shirakawa Qiu at an inappropriate time.

Baichuan Qiu: "...Thank you." It hurts even more.

The system seemed to see Baichuanqiu's embarrassment and said seriously, "Since the host is short of money, why not plan a bank robbery? This will not only solve the immediate problem, but also gain experience and become a wanted robber!"

Baichuan Qiu: "...If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

system; (′⊙w⊙`)

The system shut down the microphone in a wronged manner.

Baichuan Qiu continued to lie on the table and worry.

In the evening, Shirakawa Qiu, who was preparing to close the business for renovations, put the sign at the door into the cafe. When he looked up again, he saw the dark Maori Detective Agency.

He was a little surprised: "Mr. Maoli, aren't they coming back to stay today?"

It feels like I haven't seen them all day today.

Enomoto Azusa was not surprised: "Mr. Maori and his friends often go out to play or do commissions. Sometimes they don't come back for a few days. This is quite normal."

Baichuan Qiu murmured: "It's nice to be able to go out for a walk."

We can't just focus on the rice flower, at least all places should share some of the damage.

But Bai Chuanqiu was a little envious: "They live such a carefree life?"

"Detective Mori has excellent deduction skills, and many people usually come to him for help in solving cases." Enomoto Azusa said casually, "It should be very profitable."

"Oh, I'm so envious..."

Baichuan Qiu was full of envy.

He held his chin, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

"Xiao Zi, what do you say about me working with the Maori Detective Agency?"

Azusa Enomoto: “Huh?”

Baichuan Qiu clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I can do a collaboration!"

Enomoto Azusa looked at Shirakawa Akane with some curiosity: "Collaboration?"

"I can definitely use the fame of the Maori detective to turn this place into an internet celebrity check-in spot."

Baichuan Qiu sat up straight.

The development of this world is generally nearly twenty years slower than his previous world, but perhaps due to the influence of Conan's story line, Shirakawa Qiu recently discovered that the timeline he is in is not normal.

Time has stagnated, but the world is still developing rapidly, narrowing the gap with his previous world. It seems that it won't be long before he can catch up.

By then, there will be huge changes in both technology and economy.

As a person who has been through this, Baichuanqiu knows the power of "collaboration".

"We can provide free coffee to the Maori Detective Agency. That way, future customers who come to see Mr. Maori will all drink our coffee! As the number of customers increases, we'll create a buzz. Then we can launch a new product called 'Maori Detective Calming Coffee.' Detective fans who come here for our coffee will be able to drink the same coffee as Maori Detective, and we'll make even more money!"

Although she had never come across the term "collaboration" before, Enomoto Azusa listened carefully and actually felt that the model that Manager Shirakawa casually mentioned was very promising.

She raised her hand curiously. "But why is it called 'Mouri Detective Calming Coffee'?"

Isn't coffee meant to be a wake-up call? Why is it called a tranquilizer?

"You asked a good question!"

Shirakawa Akane placed the empty glass on the counter in front of Enomoto Azusa with a smile and pointed. "Isn't Detective Mori known as the 'Sleeping Mori Kogoro'? So, this refreshing coffee of ours can help Detective Mori reach the state of 'sleeping' and solving cases. Isn't that amazing?"

Listening to Shirakawa Akane's fallacies, Enomoto Azusa nodded, not quite understanding.

"Besides, it's just a name, a gimmick, mainly to arouse people's curiosity - for example, Xiaozi, didn't you just ask me why I chose this name?"

Azusa Enomoto tilted her head: "Yes."

"Buy a cup and you'll find out, right? You might even have the chance to experience the same level that Detective Maori has reached~"

Shirakawa Akane pushed the glass in front of Enomoto Azusa, with a hint of temptation in his voice, as if what they had in front of them was the "legendary" cup of coffee.

If the cup in front of her wasn't empty, Azusa Enomoto felt that she might actually buy one out of curiosity.

She couldn't help but applaud: "Wow! The store manager is amazing! How did you come up with all this?"

Bai Chuanqiu coughed lightly and said, "Making money is something I've always thought about."

"But this matter can't be rushed, I need to think about it carefully..."

This world particularly admires detectives. If Kogoro Mouri becomes more famous, he might really be able to bring the coffee shop to fame.
