254. Like a bubble
Facing the confident Toru Amuro, Conan asked: "Did you think of a solution?"
Amuro smiled brightly, "I have almost a clue."
At this moment, he is neither a policeman nor a Bourbon from the dark organization, but just a dessert master who tries every means to save the cake, showing his professionalism in the field he is good at.
Chen Xing couldn't help but shake his head after seeing it.
Then the next day, several people surrounded their phones and looked at the surveillance footage taken last night.
"From last night's closing of the store until this morning, the refrigerator was not malfunctioning, but the cake melted inexplicably." Conan stared at the screen.
Amuro looked at him and said with some meaning: "You actually care so much about the small things like melting the cake."
"After all, they always want to taste the cake you make, and they can't let expectations become bubbles." Conan said this without intention, but his tone was extremely serious.
Toru Amuro held his chin, "For the sake of important people, you will ask the bottom line no matter what kind of things you do."
Conan's head turned and looked at Chen Xing first.
Tomo Amuro also reacted, and then found that Chen Xing was drinking water alone, as if he hadn't heard it or even if he heard it, he didn't care what they were saying.
"Boss, do you have tea?" he asked.
Chen Xing glanced at him and showed the empty cup bottom.
"Do you want to drink during the day?" Conan said subconsciously.
But Amuro Toru had already understood and poured coffee quickly.
Seeing Chen Xing, who picked up the cups so naturally and then read the newspaper while drinking coffee, Conan blinked in confusion.
--What's the strange tacit understanding that can be understood by just one action? Should it appear in the declining nobles and the police? No matter how you think about the identities of both.
Perhaps, it is because the duty of the public security police is to protect the people?
"What's wrong?" Toru Amuro shook his hand in front of him.
"Ah, nothing." Conan revealed it with a smile.
"What was the surveillance result last night?" asked Tomoto Amuro.
Conan shook his head, "I found nothing suspicious at all."
"Give it, please use it." Azusa Kasumoto brought the cut cake over.
"Hey, the cake has not melted?" Conan said in surprise.
“There is no problem with the cake today.”
"So it turns out that the cake doesn't melt every day?" Conan said in confusion.
"It will melt twice in three days." Azusa Komoto said: "If we always melt, we can't even complete a single business."
“Twice melted in three days?”
"And it's all something that has just happened recently."
After Azusa Tomoto finished speaking, Conan looked at his phone and fell into deep thought.
In the next three days, the surveillance camera outside the store was still operating.
On that day, Conan came to the store.
"In two days, there will be a period of time when you can't see the situation in the store. Just looking at the surveillance screen, it's still hard to figure out the reason. The first time was on the 21st, which started at 1 a.m., which lasted for 11 seconds. The second time was on the 23rd today, which started at 2:26 a.m., which lasted for 12 seconds."
"On the 21st and today, our cake has indeed melted." Azusa Komoto frowned.
Conan pondered: "That is to say, something strange might have happened within the ten seconds when the surveillance camera could not capture the situation in the store."
"I understand!" Azumi said solemnly: "It was during that time that the suspect sneaked into the store and then destroyed the cake."
Azusa Hiromoto thought for a while, "But the doors of the coffee shop are locked after get off work."
"Are there any signs of damage on the door lock?" Mitsuhiko asked.
“No.”
"Well, in this way, this is impossible to commit a crime!" Mitsuhiko looked deep, "or the suspect had the key to the coffee shop in his hand, so he came and went freely."
After saying that, the three little boys looked at Azusa Tomoto who had just agreed with them.
"...Are you doubting me?" Azusa Komoto was ashamed.
Tomoto Amuro quietly aims at someone.
Chen Xing put the teacup on, "You should think about how to make a new cake."
Toru Amuro said in surprise: "How do you know what I plan?"
Chen Xing did not answer. At this time, Yuan Tai pointed to his phone and said, "When the situation in the store cannot be seen in the surveillance screen, is there a car passing by here?"
Conan nodded, "That's right, then? Keep talking and reading."
Yuan Tai regulates the screen, "Every time I can't see the situation in the store, there will be a car passing by, you can see."
"Really, is this the suspect's car?"
"It's very likely, right, Conan?"
"But there are cars passing by on days when the cake has not melted," Conan said, "so this alone doesn't mean anything."
"But when the cake melts, there will definitely be a car passing by." The three little girls looked at each other with a certain expression, "There is absolutely any connection between the two."
Conan thought, "But we really have no other clues to refer to now. I'll ask the doctor to make the video clearer."
Hearing this, Amuro, who was playing with milk and egg liquid, paused, "Do you mentioned is the doctor who made all kinds of interesting props for you?"
"Yes." Conan responded and looked at him with no doubt.
But Tomoto Amuro just smiled and didn't say much.
...
After Conan and the others left, Toru Amuro walked to Chenxiong and sat down.
"The cake is ready?" Chen Xing asked.
"Well, it's actually very simple. The boss can learn it." Toru Amuro said.
"No." Chen Xing refused.
"Why, aren't you very bored?" Amuro said with a smile.
"But I don't feel bored." Chen Xing stroked the cup with his fingers.
Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment. When he looked at his side face, he realized that he was not lying or showing off. That was not the expression that a boring person would show.
Although it is plain, you can happily accept everything that is coming, good or bad.
Tori Amuro pondered for a moment and said, "Did anyone say, Boss, you sit here all day, and it looks like you are waiting for someone?"
Chen Xing's eyes finally changed, but it was only a short moment.
He didn't say anything, as if he didn't care about it, and he seemed to be reluctant to say much.
Amuro was silent for a moment, no longer asked, but said, "Actually you already know, right?"
Chen Xing looked at him and looked into his eyes, not sure if he was talking about his identity. Speaking of which, he sometimes hates such specious words.
Even if he didn't know that in the other party and Ai Haibara's heart, he was the same.
"I know why the cake melts," said Toru Amuro.
Chen Xing lowered his eyes and smiled calmly, "Did you know before you?"
The sudden competitive spirit made Amuro raise his eyebrows, but it has to be said that because his attention has been on making cakes, he was also aware of the phenomenon of cake melting, but the person in front of him was very calm from the beginning.
"Maybe, was it intentionally pretending to be calm?" he tentatively said.
