……

The meal ended quickly.

Although he didn't know what others thought, Qi Ming ate very comfortably.

The portions of Italian food are small, so it seems he was right to order more.

Conan's expression right now is quite strange.

Who would have thought that one day I would be eating so harmoniously at the same table as people from the organization?

"Mr. Qi Ming, so we should be fine now, right?"

Kogoro Mouri let out a burp and asked Qi Ming.

"Problem? What problem?"

"It's, cough cough, the words on the wall."

Kogoro Mouri coughed and reminded Qi Ming.

Qi Ming came to his senses and then remembered that he had been acting like a charlatan in his room not long ago.

"No problem, we have plenty of energy now, and that thing has been completely eliminated."

"That's good, that's good. I was wondering why I suddenly felt so much lighter."

Kogoro Maori breathed a sigh of relief.

As for his body feeling much more relaxed, that was purely psychological.

Of those who hadn't entered the restaurant at the time, only Ran Mouri understood their conversation, while Ai Haibara, Vermouth, and Conan remained puzzled.

Having figured out Qi Ming and the others' purpose in coming here, Conan became curious again about what Qi Ming had done inside.

"Brother Qi Ming, has the matter been resolved?"

Not far away, Inspector Megure slowly ran over. Perhaps because he was too fat, he was panting heavily even after less than a hundred meters.

"Well, it's settled."

Qi Ming looked at the chef and said, "Take that note and burn it later, then you can clean up the words on the wall."

"Now that you're full of energy, you can just wipe the words on the wall with a piece of paper."

Although those words could have been erased from the beginning, the panicked crowd dared not attempt to erase them.

"Huh? Oh oh."

The chef nodded vigorously, having no doubt whatsoever about the master chef's words.

"Mr. Qi Ming, would it be convenient for us to speak privately?"

Suddenly, Inspector Megure beckoned to Qi Ming.

The two men stepped aside, and the former said to Qi Ming, "Brother Qi Ming, you should know the term 'unsolved case,' right?"

"Ah, I know."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure glanced around and then whispered to Qi Ming.

"So I was thinking, could Brother Qi Ming take a temporary position with our police force and become one of our unsolved case experts?"

It was only after experiencing today's case that Megure learned that there was such a thing as ghost curses in this world.

It's quite normal that they can't find evidence for some long-standing unsolved cases.

It must be because those cases were committed by inhuman beings!

"...No problem, but Inspector Megure, I actually have some friends who have the same skills as me. If there's a chance, I can introduce you to them."

"Oh really! That's great!"

Qi Ming smiled and shook hands with Inspector Megure to express his pleasure at the cooperation, but he was secretly overjoyed.

They went shopping at the bank during the day and helped the police investigate unsolved cases at night, which also gave the organization members an official identity.

It seems they can add new items to their organizational business.

……

After the meal was eaten and the matter was resolved, everyone went their separate ways to return home.

The organization has undergone significant changes and there are still many things to handle, so it cannot operate normally for the time being.

Two uneventful days passed, until today, Thursday.

Teitan School, Class 1-B.

The classroom was now packed with people. The chairs were no longer occupied by children but by adults, while the children stood upright beside the adults.

"Hello everyone, I am your homeroom teacher, Kobayashi Sumiko. I'm sure the children have already told you why our school is holding this parent-teacher meeting today."

Homeroom teacher Sumiko Kobayashi stood on the podium and addressed the students and parents below with a beaming smile:

"Today I will report to all parents on the children's performance since the start of the school year, as well as the arrangements for tomorrow's Teitan School Festival."

clap clap-

Although Kobayashi Sumiko hasn't said anything yet, the parents in the audience are very supportive and applauding.

Qi Ming was also sitting in the classroom, clapping his hands, looking slightly excited.

This was his first time attending a parent-teacher conference as an adult.

Because the school believes that Fridays should be a time for children to play and relax, parents will arrive a day earlier.

There's no need to attend classes on Thursday afternoon; just leave after the parent-teacher meeting.

Qi Ming increasingly felt that the teaching profession here couldn't be easier.

Listening to Kobayashi Sumiko speaking familiar words, Qi Ming began to rummage through his desk drawers as if his memories had been awakened.

"...What are you doing?"

Seeing that Qi Ming had rummaged through her drawer in a mess, Ai Haibara couldn't help but whisper something to him.

"Flip through your test papers and diary."

Seeing that he couldn't find the diary he wanted in the drawer, Qi Ming could only sigh helplessly.

Ai Haibara couldn't help but roll her eyes at Qi Ming.

"Who's a serious person who keeps a diary?"

Even so, she still breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she actually did write a diary, although it wasn't a diary, it contained some rather unconventional remarks.

Fortunately, she had already dealt with it yesterday.

"People your age like to write unconventional things, I'd like to see."

Seeing that Qi Ming had seen through her in one sentence, Ai Haibara turned her face away and said calmly.

"...You know I'm not that old."

"Hard to say."

"..."

A moment later, something else popped into Qi Ming's head, and he suddenly bent down and peered under the desk.

Because the sound of the chair being moved was quite loud, Kobayashi Sumiko and the others also looked over.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Ai Haibara felt slightly uncomfortable.

I always feel like my family member has a bit of ADHD.

"What are you doing now? Can't you be a little more serious?"

Qi Ming hunched over without raising his head and spoke in a muffled voice.

"I'm checking if you've ever picked your nose and it's stuck under your desk."

"If I were you, I would do the same."

"..."

If you were me, I would do the same thing. If you were me, I would do the same thing.

Last time you even said I would run around the house naked, are you sick in the head?!

Nonsense!

Ai Haibara couldn't take it anymore. Ignoring the scene before her, she shouted, her voice slightly raised:

"Only you would do something like that, don't slander me!"
