Chapter 58 58. Detective Xiaolan
"Aunt Rina, what's wrong!?"
When Xiaolan returned home and asked about the results of Yonoki Rina's check-up at the hospital today, she grabbed her hand and pressed her pulse with a serious look on her face.
This sudden behavior made Xiaolan feel a little flustered.
"Look, it is said that the side effect of the medicine is to make the heart beat faster. Isn't my pulse abnormal right now?"
"Uh..." Even though Xiaolan is a kind-hearted girl who doesn't often doubt others, she felt something was wrong for the first time at this moment. What is the side effect that didn't happen last night but started tonight? Isn't it too ridiculous?
She suddenly remembered what Mariko told her in school. Today is the day when Hero Akagi's team plays the Emperor's Cup final. Although Hero Akagi is only 19 years old, he is already looking forward to successfully achieving 16 consecutive victories with the team.
Countless fans are looking forward to Tokyo Spirit winning the Emperor's Cup and continuing to set a new winning streak in team history. Suzuki Sonoko, who loves handsome boys, is also one of them.
Thinking of Xiaolan's half-moon eyes, she spoke without giving this naughty adult any face, "I think you are more likely to be excited about the Emperor's Cup match tonight."
After being poked by Xiaolan, Yonoki Rina didn't look embarrassed, but happily showed her thumbs up, "As expected of the famous detective Ran-chan, she guessed it completely right!"
"Football has become more and more popular in recent years, and its performance in international competitions is also getting better and better!"
"Yes, outstanding young players like Hideo Akagi will definitely be able to lead the Japanese team to a further step in the World Cup in the future!"
Compared with the hopeless revitalization of Chinese football, after entering the World Cup for the first time in 1992, although the Japanese football team failed to achieve too outstanding results in the World Cup, it is still the light of Asia, and Rina Yonoki therefore accepts the good results very much.
Became a supporter of the Japanese football team.
Seeing Asian teams compete in the world and defeat European teams that have gone into decline with their past glory is a joy that transcends nationality. At least in the world of sports at that moment, it belongs to Asians and in physical fitness.
By default, the victory belongs to the weak yellow race.
Seeing Rina Yonoki getting excited and analyzing tonight's match between Tokyo Spirits and Osaka Big, Xiaolan's worries were thrown away. It seems that Aunt Rina has fully recovered, which is great.
When Conan came back, Yonoki Rina even mysteriously said that there would be a super delicious meal tonight.
In order to pursue the atmosphere, Yonoki Rina closed the curtains to block the sun that was getting off work later and later as summer gradually arrived. She turned on the ambient lights in the restaurant and lit candles that were useless but necessary for the atmosphere. There was also today's candle next to it.
Beautiful newly purchased roses.
First, a small glass of pre-dinner wine. In Xiaolan's determined eyes, Rina Yonoki had no choice but to put down the ouzo on hand and poured herself the same non-alcoholic drink as the children. The elderberry-flavored non-alcoholic Hugo had some cough-like symptoms.
The syrup is sweet but the taste is very refreshing, which wakes up the taste well and makes people look forward to the big meal later.
Just looking at the pre-dinner bread that was served first, Xiaolan and Conan were stunned. It is not necessary to imitate the atmosphere of a Western restaurant.
The specially bought baguette was cut into slices and placed in a bamboo basket. It was not particularly shabby, but how could Japanese people like such hard bread?
Their teeth are accustomed to a soft and rotten diet. Hard bread like this, and baguettes that are said to be used as weapons after being dried can only be left there alone as decorations.
The salad that follows also has the same refreshing sauce, and the carefully selected fresh vegetables are crisp and delicious.
So, what is the main course? Conan looked in the direction of the kitchen and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that only seafood pasta was served.
It's a very common dish, he thought.
"Although it's just seafood pasta, it's definitely worth it. I felt very satisfied with today's tomato sauce, so I went out and bought flower bread. I feel that this kind of ritual is worthy of this pasta!"
Listening to Yonoki Rina's boastful introduction, Conan picked up the pasta, rolled it up and put it in his mouth.
Wow, it's really good. The taste of tomatoes is still very obvious, but it doesn't make people feel sweet and lose their appetite like those crappy sauces. I don't know what ingredients are added. Maybe it's the fragrance brought by some herbs that alleviates it.
Western-style tomato sauce often has a greasy feel, and you can feel the sweet and sour characteristics of tomatoes well, but it is not too rich and puts too much burden on the tongue.
The seafood has also been well treated to remove the fishy smell, perhaps using lemon juice or fruit-flavored white wine. While the umami flavor of the seafood is well preserved, it also has some fruity freshness, which is exactly the same as the sauce.
The taste is appetizing.
Rina Yonoki smiled and watched the two children eating non-stop. Even the rarely used forks she put on for the sake of atmosphere did not slow down their eating progress. She felt very satisfied. Being appreciated by the diners was a food maker.
So happy!
The superb pasta was eaten in her mouth. Compared with yesterday's huge upset dinner, Xiaolan also clearly felt the change in the producer's mood. Aunt Rina has indeed fully recovered and is even happier than before. It's really great!
After clearing away the eaten dishes after the meal, Rina and Noki prepared to go next door to watch the TV broadcast of the Emperor's Cup tonight.
At this time, a girl who looked like a high school student knocked on her door. The girl introduced herself as Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend Akagi Quantico. Because Shinichi was missing, she wanted to ask the detective to find him.
For a moment, the whole room fell into an awkward silence, and the happy atmosphere during dinner completely disappeared.
Xiaolan, who was taking the roses out of the dining table with the vase, suddenly felt the dazzling red rose in front of her eyes. She slammed the vase onto the dining table and said, "Xinyi is your boyfriend?!"
"Yes...yes..." The girl was so frightened by Xiaolan that she couldn't help but lean back, but her tone was indescribably firm.
"How could... Shinichi..." Xiaolan thought about retorting, but her brain seemed to be stuck and she didn't know how to speak.
The primary school student waved his hands in front of her, "There must be a mistake! Maybe they are people who look very similar."
"No! You can't go wrong, we even kissed!!"
I don’t know what the connection between kissing and being unmistakable is to Rina Noki, but it’s quite interesting to see my childhood sweethearts who were trying to deny it before being shocked.
Conan, who knew clearly that he did not recognize this girl, waved his hands even more, "No, this must be..." A liar!
"Shut up, kid!" Sister Xiaolan, who is usually gentle, has no time to play house with the kid at this moment.
Wow, Rina Yonoki who was watching the show was also silently amazed by Xiao Ran's outburst. Xiao Ran felt that no one could resist Xiao Ran under such momentum.
Then Conan answered Dr. Agasa's call, pretending to be a call from Kudo Shinichi, and told the non-existent Kudo Shinichi that he would contact Miss Quantum.
After hearing this, Xiaolan, who was furious, decided to go to Quantum's house with unstoppable momentum. Conan, who was about to find out the purpose of this girl's visit, naturally wanted to follow her.
Rina Yonoki, who was watching the show, chose to stay out of the matter and let him have fun preparing the couple's affairs. However, he did have expectations that the famous detective Xiaolan would be able to find out the truth. Their story should be more suspenseful than tonight's football game!
Well, I’m asking for votes, comments, and reading. Seeing as I’m exhausted from moving and still working hard to update every day, let’s have some interaction! (Bow)
