It's just a grocery store.

Ever since that incident, Midnight seems to have become the gathering place for Kudo Shinichi and his group of kids.

Looking at Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran coming over again, Ling Shi felt puzzled.

Midnight: This is just like the grocery store.

Zero hour lowered his head and asked:

"Hey, Shinichi, eating dessert every day is bad for your teeth."

There was something hidden in Zero's words, but Kudo Shinichi didn't seem to understand and said as if to cover up:

"It wasn't me who ate it. My mom ate the one you gave me last time. She keeps complaining about it every day."

After saying this, the boy snorted, seeming very reluctant, but Lingshi did not reveal the fact that he ate pastries every time he came.

Midnight: I think he is targeting me. It’s so weird. I didn’t do anything last time.

System: Host, you really didn't do anything, this is really strange.

While Zero Hour and the system were thinking hard, Kudo Shinichi was also thinking,

Kudo Shinichi: There must be something wrong with this guy. He looks so calm and indifferent when looking at the corpse.

And one last point, Kudo Shinichi swore that if he was not mistaken, the store manager looked at the deceased with disgust in his eyes.

If Zero Time heard Kudo Shinichi's inner thoughts, he would definitely exclaim, this kid is cheating!

So Kudo Shinichi started to hang out with Zero Time every day, trying to see more from him.

Occasionally, you can still run into Hagiwara and Morobushi. As for Furuya Rei, Zero Hour doesn't plan to let these two people meet in view of future developments.

Midnight: Just kidding, let him know now, how are we going to deal with this kid in the future.

So every time Kudo Shinichi is around, as long as Furuya Rei gets close, Zero will use props to drive Furuya Rei or Kudo Shinichi away.

So much so that every time Furuya Rei heard about Kudo Shinichi from his friends, he had never seen him.

Rei Furuya: Is it really that we have no fate?

Midnight: Biye.

There was one time when the system sensed that a group of five people were approaching and immediately used props at zero o'clock. Kudo Shinichi was inexplicably called away by the phone from home.

Only after ensuring that the two people did not meet did I breathe a sigh of relief at midnight.

Zero Hour: I’m really working so hard.

System: Yes——

Midnight: So why was Kudo Shinichi targeting me for no apparent reason, even though I had already pushed Hagiwara and Morofushi out?

It is rare for five people to have dinner together at Lingshi, and Lingshi was able to witness the reunion of the five-member police academy group.

Zero Hour: System, take a picture, take a picture!

System: I understand, host.

I don’t know what the host is excited about, but just listen to him.

The five people were chatting, when Hagiwara Kenji suddenly changed the topic to Zero Hour.

"Speaking of which, I only hear everyone calling him Boss Shi, but I never knew his full name."

Zero Hour: ...This wave is coming towards me.

System: Host, you'd better not be lazy next time.

Lingshi forced a smile and introduced himself naturally:

"What a coincidence! My full name is Shi Ling, the same as Fūya-kun."

Matsuda murmured quietly beside him.

"That's a coincidence. I also know someone called Lingshi."

Zero Hour: What a coincidence, it’s me too.

System: Rollover.

I had deliberately avoided mentioning names before, but this time it was completely because I wanted to be seen through.

In many ways, it was a disaster, but I suppressed my guilt and pretended not to hear it.

Zhu Fu Jingguang: "Hey - this is such a coincidence, the boss is also Zero."

Jōtani Ling shouted to stop Zhufu Jingguang's teasing, his face full of discomfort, and he felt something was wrong.

Lingshi smiled and agreed, changing the subject, and joked:

"Don't bully my brother Ling, whom I've never met before. You guys have been coming here to eat and drink for so long. Just call me Brother Ling."

After hearing what was said, Jiang Gu Ling reacted and became interested in what Ling Shi said, and also agreed and asked them to shout.

Hagiwara and Matsuda looked at each other and communicated telepathically again. Then Hagiwara Kenji started to join in the conversation and even began to think about how to call the two "Zeros" in the future.

Lingshi also smiled with relief, no longer participated in their discussion, but returned to sit at the front desk.

Take out your phone and send a message to Huang Quan,

Lingshi: Quan, it seems that soon there will be someone in the organization to accompany you.

Huang Quan probably had nothing to do, so he quickly replied with a "?", while Lingshi pretended to be mysterious and said nothing.

System: Mr. Huang Quan will come back tonight and give you a set of combined punches.

Midnight: Hahaha, then we can have some fun tonight and make his favorite cola chicken wings.

The system blinked but didn't ask anything. Anyway, the host was very reliable and there was no need for it to worry.

Hagiwara and the others gathered for a while and then prepared to leave. Before leaving, Date Ko came over and packed a rose cake to take away.

Hagiwara Kenji: "I brought it for my girlfriend~"

Matsuda Jinpei: "How sweet! She's leaving us to go on a date."

The rare Zhu Fu Jingguang also joined in the fun:

"Well, she's my girlfriend after all."

This made Yi Dahang feel embarrassed, and he scolded them and wanted to leave.

He also didn't forget to get involved when he passed the cakes to her at midnight.

"That's so thoughtful, Date-kun. Give your girlfriend another glass of lemonade."

"Ah, even Boss Shi joined in the fun with these guys."

Yi Dahang took the pastries and immediately fled the scene, leaving Lingshi and the others laughing behind him.

Zhu Fushigi Jingguang and Furuya Ling looked at the other pair of young children, and walked out tacitly.

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who were still in the store, looked at Zero and were probably thinking about what to say.

Zero Hour: No way, do we have to make it clear today?

Lingshi looked back at them with a wry smile, just like before.

"Why, did you two forget to bring money again?"

Hagiwara and Matsuda could naturally hear Reiji's admission, as well as his current refusal to explain anything.

Matsuda immediately became unhappy and ruffled his hair to express his displeasure, but didn't say anything.

Hagiwara Kenji replied with a helpless smile:

"You'll treat us today too, right, Brother Ling?"

When the long-lost name was spoken, it was as if all the disguises had collapsed, and there was a rare sense of nostalgia.

"He clearly refused to cry out just now. What a brat who never takes advantage of others."

Ling Shi teased them with the same words he used before, which was also a way of acknowledging his identity, and then reached out to ruffle Hagiwara's hair.

Midnight: It feels really good, but it’s a little hard to touch now that it’s grown taller.

Hagiwara Kenji: "Zero-nii, I'm not a child anymore."

I was helpless but did not avoid it. The unhappiness of leaving without saying goodbye had dissipated a lot during the time we were together.

Matsuda Jinpei was not so easy to appease. He just dodged Lingshi's hand. Lingshi also got excited and directly grabbed his hand.

Lingshi: "Don't hide, it won't cost you a thing to touch you."

Matsuda vehemently refused, but Ling Shi persisted and the two became entangled.

Hagi Genze just leaned against the counter and watched, touching the weasel's head by the way, and the system also rubbed it obediently.

Hagiwara Kenji: “Nothing has changed.”

System: Yes, the host has always been like this.

The system nodded, causing Hagiwara Kenji to laugh out loud.

At this time, Lingshi also successfully touched Matsuda Jinpei's hair and ruffled it a few times, and Hagiwara Kenji's laughter was heard.

Matsuda's anger, which had subsided a little during the fight, was transferred directly to Hagiwara Kenji, and he glared at him.

"Isn't it funny, Hagi?"

Hagiwara Kenji: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't laugh at Xiao Zhenping."

At midnight, I fanned the fire.

"It's too much to actually watch the show from the sidelines. How cunning."

"No need to say anything, just die!"

Matsuda rushed over as he spoke, and Hagiwara Kenji took off running, running straight out of the store, with Matsuda following closely behind.

Lingshi shook his head and couldn't help sighing as he looked at their backs:

"It's still the same, that's great."
