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

Chapter 192 Return to Poirot Cafe

Early morning at the Poirot Café.

Azusa Enomoto opened the door of the cafe, put her hands on her hips with full energy, and basked in the first rays of autumn morning light.

"Ah, a new day begins!"

She took a deep breath and felt her soul sublime.

"Xiaozi, good morning. I haven't seen you for a few days. You are still full of energy."

Azusa Enomoto turned her head and looked at the white-haired young man walking slowly towards her. She smiled and greeted him, "Good morning, manager—eh? Manager, when did you get back?"

Azusa Enomoto reacted immediately and exclaimed excitedly: "Manager, you are finally back!"

"Hey, I brought you some gifts."

Baichuanqiu shook the bag in his hand.

Enomoto Azusa was so happy that she immediately took Shirakawa Akane back to the cafe: "Ah, manager, you are so nice! Let me see what good things you have!"

The perfume that Shirakawa Akane brought to Enomoto Azusa was mentioned by Enomoto Azusa accidentally during a previous chat. Later, when the system gave shopping suggestions, it listed this brand of perfume as the highest grade.

Sure enough, after getting the perfume, Azusa Enomoto was so excited that she felt like she could fly.

"Ahhh, the store manager is such a nice person! This is the perfume I've been trying to get for a long time!" Azusa Enomoto screamed, her eyes shining with excitement.

Shirakawa Akane seriously doubted that if he asked Enomoto Azusa to go out and run around Tokyo at this moment, Enomoto Azusa would be able to do it without even taking a breath.

"You've been working hard lately, so just consider this as an employee benefit." Baichuanqiu explained with a smile.

To be honest, Enomoto Azusa is truly the most dedicated veteran employee at Poirot Café. Even after so long since the first year of the science program, Enomoto Azusa has never been late or left early, and hasn't even asked for leave. She's truly been there regardless of weather.

Even though there is a store manager who likes to slack off and colleagues who like to take leave, Azusa Enomoto has never complained or regretted anything. Like a little top, she keeps busy in the store alone.

Baichuan Qiu felt a little guilty.

Such good employees (cows) and workers (horses) must be taken good care of. If they run away, there will be no place to cry.

cough cough...

Enomoto Azusa was completely unaware of Shirakawa Yu's subtle thoughts. After hearing that it was an employee benefit, she did not refuse. Instead, she put away the gift box and said very seriously: "Manager, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

Baichuanqiu nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, the effect is obvious.

"Ding--"

The door of the cafe was pushed open again and Toru Amuro walked in.

He wasn't surprised to see Baichuan Qiu, but just smiled and said, "Zhu Fu told me as soon as you got on the plane. You're so stupid for not letting us pick you up."

Shirakawa Qiu opened his arms, hugged Amuro Toru generously, and said casually: "I just thought you were all busy."

Then he took out the gift he brought back: "Hey, employee benefits."

"So good?" Amuro Toru took the gift box handed to him by Shirakawa Akane, opened it and took a look, and found that it was a classic vinyl record of the American Louis band.

It even has the guitarist's autograph on it.

Amuro Toru was genuinely surprised this time, and took it out to examine it carefully: "It's actually the version they performed in 89! How did you find it, Shirakawa?"

Bai Chuanqiu chuckled: "I just picked it up casually, it's easy to do!"

Although Toru Amuro doesn't usually reveal much of her personal hobbies, some details show that she has a certain preference for pop music, such as the tunes she hums in the cafe every day.

For example, Toru Amuro once borrowed the band's guitar in a cafe and played a pop song with a hint of sadness.

Of course, the most important thing is that Shirakawa Akie asked Zhufu Jingguang.

There's a child taming cheat, so of course he has to use it~

As expected, Toru Amuro couldn't put the record down after getting it: "As expected of Shirakawa! I've been so busy lately that it feels like I haven't listened to their band's songs in ages. Now seeing them, it really feels like time has flown by."

The Louis band was at its most popular eight or nine years ago. At that time, Rei Furuya was in college. Although he was busy with his studies, he also had a lot of time to relax. At that time, his favorite band was Louis.

I had originally told Hiro that I would save up tickets to attend the concert, but now, in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

"I'm glad you like it." Shirakawa Qiu took out a few gift boxes from his pocket. "I also brought gifts for Detective Maori and the others. I'll give them to them now."

"Okay." Toru Amuro carefully put the record back into the staff area.

Shirakawa Akane came to the second floor of the Mori Detective Agency and happened to see Mori Ran opening the door of the agency.

"Xiaolan."

Baichuan Qiu greeted him.

"Mr. Shirakawa." Mao Lilan looked at him with some surprise, "You guys are back so soon?"

"Yeah." Bai Chuanqiu smiled and picked up the gift bag in his hand, "I brought some gifts for you."

"Eh? I feel bad for making Mr. Shirakawa spend so much money."

Mao Lilan said embarrassedly.

"it's okay no problem."

Shirakawa Qiu walked into the office and put his things on the coffee table.

Mao Lilan is still in school, and giving her luxury goods would be too extreme, so Shirakawa Qiu prepared a Parker pen for her.

The same goes for Conan.

PS: Shirakawa Qiu also specially prepared a pink and blue couple's version.

Shirakawa Akane: I can only help you up to this point, Xiaolan.

As for Kogoro Mori, he was the easiest to satisfy. Shirakawa Akira took away a bottle of expensive whiskey at the Clauson family's banquet.

Ahem—anyway…no one else will find out.

Ran Mouri went upstairs and pulled down an uncle who was still confused. When she saw the bottle of whiskey, Kogoro Mouri immediately felt less sleepy.

"Oh my, Shirakawa-kun, you're spending so much money!"

Although he was saying this, his hand was already sliding back and forth on the bottle.

Baichuan Qiu: "...It's okay, as long as you like it."

The uncle is very open about his greed and lust.

The golden eyes moved around the room, and then asked casually, "Is Conan not here today?"

Maori Kogoro pursed his lips and said, "He must have been taken somewhere to play by his irresponsible mother again."

Mao Lilan smiled helplessly: "Conan went out to play, he has been gone for several days."

Baichuan Qiu nodded: "Ah, so that's how it is."

It seems that the protagonists are still struggling in the United States.

Tsk tsk, luckily he ran fast.

If it weren't for Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei who were deeply involved in this, Shirakawa Akira really wouldn't want to care about anything.

……

In this way, Baichuanqiu returned to a peaceful and leisurely life.

Pulling out his boss's exclusive chair, Shirakawa Qiu lay down lazily.

"Ugh--"

After being busy for several days, I can finally lie down comfortably.

Baichuan Qiu relaxed and slowly lowered his eyelids.

"Ding--"

The door of the cafe was pushed open.

With the sound of approaching footsteps, a figure stood in front of the window, blocking all the warm sunlight on Baichuan Qiu, leaving only a long and narrow shadow.

Bai Chuanqiu frowned.
