It's just a grocery store.

When the two children, one adult and one child, were taken out of the police station, they didn't dare to say a word, because it was too scary to not speak at midnight.

He happened to run into Jinpei Matsuda who was on duty, or maybe Lingshi knew he was there, so he took out a box of snacks and a thermos.

"No, it's hard working the night shift, so I brought this for you."

"Oh! Great! Thank you, Brother Ling, for coming all the way to bring me a midnight snack."

Matsuda took the item and saw two people behind him.

"This is?"

"The younger one was detained by Inspector Megure. As his guardian, I came to pick him up and bring you some food."

"!? Yours, no, that one doesn't have that function."

Lingshi punched Matsuda on the head. It wasn't very powerful, but it still made Matsuda cry out in pain.

"Are you stupid? Someone asked me to help raise your brain, or have you read some weird books or TV shows recently?"

Matsuda's eyes were vague, obviously he was thinking of something, and Lingshi was too lazy to expose the fact that the two of them had secretly met many times since childhood.

"Let's go. It's late and the children haven't eaten yet."

"Oh, okay, be careful on the road."

Matsuda came to his senses and waved his hand. He turned around and said to the silent duo:

"Let's go, Midorikawa is waiting for us outside."

Seeing that Zero wasn't angry, the two finally felt relieved and agreed. In the car, Conan's curiosity got the better of him and he asked:

"Uncle Midorikawa, huh? Does he live with us?"

"No, he's just here to act as driver."

Zero Time was browsing his phone without any courtesy. Natsume smiled apologetically at Midorikawa who was in the driver's seat. Midorikawa was used to it and Zero Time was not wrong.

He came here to be a driver, otherwise they would have to take a taxi now, and Midorikawa couldn't bear to leave them outside in the middle of the night to take a taxi.

Conan: "Hey, why did Uncle Midorikawa come here specifically to act as a driver?"

Midorikawa: "Because Reitoki was just helping clean up the store? And if I didn't come, you would have to take a taxi, and Reitoki can't drive and doesn't have a car."

Conan: ...

Conan: "I see."

Zero Hour: Another point is that I am his boss, in every sense of the word. Hello, I am the boss behind the scenes.

In short, the three of them were safely sent to Zero Time's home by Midorikawa, and then they remembered that they had not prepared any personal items for Conan.

Zero Hour: Hmm...

He took out new toiletries from the cabinet and a spare quilt from the guest room.

"Takashi has to catch a train tomorrow, and it's too late to clean up another room tonight, so you can sleep in the same room with me first."

Lingshi came into the room holding a quilt, and his tone did not allow for refusal, so Conan could only agree.

But if you need a change of clothes, just take out a short-sleeved shirt and throw it over.

"Just make do with it tonight, and I'll take you clothes shopping tomorrow."

Conan: "Oh... okay."

When Rei Shi's clothes were put on Conan, they turned into a skirt. Rei Shi was trying not to laugh and secretly took a photo to threaten Kudo Shinichi later.

After Lingshi finished taking a shower, he let Conan go in to take a shower. Lingshi was sitting on the bed drying his hair when the system suddenly screamed.

System: Wait, sleep together!?

The system was extremely scared. Did the host want to kill Edogawa Conan? The only one who could sleep with the host without getting beaten was Huang Quan!

Zero Hour: Uh... I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it, hahaha.

This is troublesome. The words have been spoken and Conan is already taking a shower inside.

Zero o'clock: If it really doesn't work, I'll go out and sleep on the sofa.

System: Host, you have made a great sacrifice by giving the entire bed to Conan.

Midnight: I'm going out to chat on the phone with my wife. It's daytime over there.

System: ...It feels like this has been planned for a long time.

Midnight: No.

After Conan came out of the shower, Lingshi took his cell phone and prepared to go out.

Ling Shi: "You go to sleep first, I'm going out to make a phone call."

Then Lingshi started to flirt with Huang Quan on the other end of the phone, completely ignoring the presence of a child in front of them.

Conan: Haha, sir.

Zero Hour: They are not real children. It doesn’t matter if they are. They know more than me anyway.

On the other side, Huang Quan, who was preparing to work, saw the call at midnight and put his work aside without hesitation.

I haven't been able to be with my partner for such a long time that I really want to dismantle the organization. It's not like I'm directly in charge of this place. What's the point of giving me a temporary replacement? They are just afraid that I will have too much power.

So Huang Quan put his work aside without any psychological burden, and thought it would be more meaningful to chat on the phone with his partner.

Zero Hour: "Quanquan, what are you doing? Have you eaten?"

Huang Quan: "I was at work, slacking off and talking on the phone with you. I ate, but it wasn't tasty. I made this because I missed you."

Lingshi: "Then I'll get through my phone and do it for you. I miss you too."

Huang Quan: "I never said it...but I do miss you a lot."

The two of them were being affectionate with each other, and Conan, who had secretly opened the door to peek, closed the door quietly and went back.

Conan: ...That's too disgusting. She's really talking to her date on the phone. I'd better not eavesdrop.

The sound of the door closing was very small, but under the system's monitoring, Conan was still seen giving up and going back to bed to sleep.

System: He went back to sleep.

Midnight: Fight with me, you little bastard.

Zero Hour: "Baby, when can you come back?"

Huang Quan: "I've already found a candidate. Just wait for a while."

Lingshi: "Yeah, come back soon, I have a surprise for you."

Huang Quan: "You'd better make sure you're not frightened."

Ling Shi: "How could that be? Believe me, you will definitely like it."

The two of them stayed together for a while, and Lingshi told him about the next plan, and asked Huang Quan to observe the zoo as well.

Huang Quan: "Zoo? Why didn't you mention it before?"

Zero Hour: "I just discovered this recently, and it could be a great tool to help us plan. Isn't that great?"

Huang Quan: "That's a good discovery. Just uproot this damn thing and kill the rat hiding behind it."

Zero Hour: "My dear, your words have a strong gin flavor."

Huang Quan: "Fuck you, I have to go get busy, and you found me a new job."

Ling Shi: "If you are too busy, it's okay for me to ask Sorasuke to help you. He is very free anyway."

Huang Quan: "Hmph, come on, you must have something else to do for him, otherwise why would you ask me for help."

Lingshi: "The one who understands me best is Huang Xiaoquan, but it doesn't matter if you give him more, if you don't want to do it."

Huang Quan: "Don't bother him. It's a blessing that his temper didn't kill you."

Huang Quan recalled the look in Saiki Sosuke's eyes when they first met. The way he looked at him was full of contempt and indifference. It was only because of Ling Shi that he was somewhat nice to him.

How can a genius with a high opinion of himself, especially one with capital, get in touch with people at midnight?

Ling Shi: "Hmm... maybe it's because he and I are destined to be together?"

When I think back to the day when I met Saiki Sorasuke, I feel emotional. This will be something really awesome even in a dozen years.

Saiki Sousuke, who was far away at the Saiki family's house, sneezed violently. Saiki Kusuo expressed his disgust calmly and walked away with his dessert.

Saiki Sousuke: That's too much. I don't have a cold. It must be Zero Hour who is nagging me. (Correct answer)

Saiki K: Then you must have done something to be criticized. You deserve it.

Qi Mukong was really wronged. He was clearly being exploited as a temporary laborer.

Humph, anyway, he was just talking to his girlfriend on the phone and he was planning to dump all those other jobs on me, this guy.
