After Tsuneo grumbled and returned home, Conan also entered Dr. Agasa's house.
He had told Ran and the others that he would be staying at Dr. Agasa's house tonight, so of course, he couldn't just run home after Tsuneo finished his story.
"Shinichi, where did you two go?" Dr. Agasa asked curiously.
The great detective sat cross-legged on the sofa, propping up his chin, and gloomily asked, "Professor, can you develop a medicine that can enhance eyesight?"
"Don't you already have these glasses?"
Dr. Agasa looked puzzled. Such glasses, with tracking functions and the ability to be used as a magnifying glass, were one of a kind! And they were also equipped with professional eavesdropping and tracking devices.
"These functions can't always be on..." Conan shook his head.
"I think he probably encountered another case and lost to that guy in terms of observing details," Ai guessed the general situation from his appearance.
"That's quite normal, isn't it? After all, Tsuneo-kun eats a lot," Dr. Agasa nodded.
As soon as he said this, Ai and Conan both looked at him.
"Don't forget, you're a scientist. How can something that goes against basic common sense be normal?" Ai took out the small notebook she used to record how abnormal the repairman was from her pocket.
You must have been brainwashed by that Tsuneo guy, believing that the more you eat, the healthier you get...
"What the professor said is not wrong. You all need to eat more to grow up well," Akemi served Dr. Agasa a vegetable salad, then turned to the two children who had taken the APTX.
"And both of you are already very much against common sense," Dr. Agasa said to them, taking a bite of the tasteless vegetables.
Eating this at night, he didn't know if it was healthy, but he was sure he'd get hungrier the more he ate...
"Never mind, Professor, let's play video games!" Conan cut off the topic and started looking for the game console.
"You play by yourself. It's already ten o'clock. The professor should go to bed," Ai glanced at the clock, interrupting Dr. Agasa, who was nodding with a smile.
"But I just finished my coffee," Dr. Agasa waved his hand, protesting.
"Did you forget what the doctor said? Work is one thing, but playing video games with him..." Ai crossed her arms over her chest and directly rejected him.
And I already told you not to drink coffee...
Dr. Agasa looked at Akemi for help.
"I remember! Professor, I found the music you said would make you sleepy just by hearing it!" When it came to health management, Akemi couldn't do much, only help with sleep.
"How... how strict they are..." Conan watched Dr. Agasa obediently go to bed, holding the game controller, speechless.
He was the only one left. Having just finished eating and drinking at the apartment, he couldn't fall asleep at all.
"What? I still have time. I can play a couple of rounds with you." Ai took out a syringe from under the table.
Since he's already here, might as well draw some blood!
"Hey, hey, hey..." Conan shifted his body, suddenly wanting to escape.
"Consider it payment for playing games with you."
The needle gleamed silver, inching closer to a certain little white mouse.
Conan: ...
This was the first time he'd seen someone collect this kind of payment...
"Shinichi, one more thing, don't forget, you and the children need to go to the police station tomorrow to give statements!" Dr. Agasa opened his door and shouted.
The old man saw Ai holding the syringe, and he didn't know what he thought of, but he immediately retreated and closed the door.
"What's wrong with the professor?" Conan asked curiously, stretching his arm.
"He's probably afraid I'd casually draw some blood from him for testing too," Ai's movements were quick, collecting the blood sample in the blink of an eye.
"Honestly." Conan pressed a cotton ball over the抽血 position, glancing sideways at this evil scientist.
"Regular check-ups are very necessary, especially for someone of the professor's age." Ai put away the blood sample and picked up another game controller.
Since she had collected her payment, of course, she wouldn't break her promise!
...
The next morning.
"Tsuneo-niichan, we handed out a lot of your business cards!"
Since it was a holiday, the Detective Boys arrived at Dr. Agasa's house early together.
"Is that so? It seems I'll have to prepare some gifts for you later," Tsuneo said with a smile.
Conan glanced at the empty plate in his hand.
If I'm not mistaken, that plate just now contained my breakfast?
"For Genta, it has to be eel rice, right?" The repairman understood the other little foodie very well.
Gifts for Mitsuhiko and Ayumi weren't hard to buy either.
The former was interested in science books and insects, the latter liked Conan...
"Really?!" Genta's eyes lit up when he heard "eel rice."
"Genta, no!" Mitsuhiko and Ayumi quickly pulled him aside and whispered.
Tsuneo-niichan has to go out to work late at night, it's really too hard, aren't we here to help him?!
Upon hearing this, Genta finally wasn't completely overwhelmed by the eel rice and nodded, indicating he understood!
"Hehehe..." Conan chuckled speechlessly.
You probably don't know how much money was spent just buying ingredients for that camping trip, do you?
The great detective complained inwardly, then turned to stare at Tsuneo.
"What are you looking at me for? Didn't you all finish eating?" Tsuneo felt the great detective's gaze was a little strange.
It's early in the morning, why are you staring at the leftovers I'm holding with such resentment?
"Who said so..." Conan looked at the professor, Akemi, and a certain someone.
Well, no need to guess who said it.
"When I came earlier, I saw a plate left in the kitchen. After asking, I picked it up and ate it." Tsuneo shook his head, indicating it had nothing to do with him.
Also, it was delicious, thank you.
"Also, you three really don't want gifts?" The repairman turned to look at the Detective Boys, who were imagining who knows what.
"Yes, why not!"
Conan immediately spoke when he saw Mitsuhiko about to wave his hand in refusal.
You have no idea how much cash that guy has hidden in his house.
"Conan!"
Genta covered his mouth and dragged him aside.
The four of them held another small meeting.
"What's wrong with them?" Ai walked over, looking up and asking curiously.
"I don't want to know at all..." Tsuneo saw Mitsuhiko occasionally looking at him, then saying something with a serious expression, and he really didn't want to know the specific content of their conversation.
...
"Conan, although Tsuneo-niichan is usually very generous to us, he runs around all day by himself, which is really hard," Mitsuhiko said with a serious expression.
Conan: ...
It seems I'm the one who's always generous to him...
"Yes, and he might even be troubled by ill-tempered customers," Ayumi nodded her little head, saying with some sympathy.
Conan: ...
He might be the one troubling those customers...
"Anyway, we're not going to eat eel rice or anything!" Genta patted the great detective's shoulder.
Conan: ...
I didn't want to eat that in the first place...
(Only one chapter tonight, I'm going back to sleep. Yesterday, I really didn't take care of the friends who follow daily. The review chapters were also written in the middle of the night. Sorry, everyone.
