Chapter 484 Chocolate

"…the dagger on the playing card?"

Hearing what Haibara Ai said, Conan's eyes flashed, and he said with sudden realization: "It's the 'King' card!"

"King card?" Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "If this dagger is really related to the king of playing cards, then what does it mean?"

"I'm not sure." Conan stroked his chin, frowned and thought.

What is the relationship between the king and Inspector Megure?

Several guesses emerged in Conan's mind, but he felt that none of them were right.

Without more information, even Conan couldn't deduce too many clues.

If there are not enough clues, even a famous detective will get stuck sometimes, which is normal.

Hiroki, who was standing aside, also fell into deep thought. After a while, he seemed to have discovered something. Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind Conan, he was stopped by a look from Ze Yu.

Ze Yu gave him a dissuading look, implying that he should not say any more.

Hiroki could only smile bitterly and choose to shut up.

Conan continued to ponder. He never noticed the little actions his two friends were doing behind him.

.........

the next day.

Eri Kisaki pushed open the door of the law firm and walked in.

"Good morning, Lawyer Fei." The assistant in the office stood up from her seat and said with a smile.

"Good morning to you too." Hibiki Eri greeted her assistant and said with a smile, "Your brooch is very beautiful."

After saying that, Kisaki Eri walked into her office, opened her bag, and took out several documents.

As a famous lawyer, Eri Kisaki's day is very busy.

The assistant came in, handed a piece of paper to Eri Kisaki, and said, "Lawyer, this is your work schedule for today."

"By the way, I received this thing in the mailbox downstairs in the office this morning." The assistant placed a gift box on the table.

This gift box looks very beautiful. The rope that ties the gift box is tied into a bow with a beautiful flower on it.

Kisara opened the gift box with some curiosity, looked at the contents, was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Is this 'Jikoba Chocolate'?"

"It's chocolate?" The assistant was also a little surprised: "I remember that this is your favorite chocolate."

"However, the name of the gift giver is not written on the gift box. It feels like it came from an unknown source," the assistant reminded.

"Really?" Hibari was thoughtful for a moment, because she remembered what Ze Yu had said to her last week.

[If someone gives you something recently, remember not to accept it.]

Is there anything wrong with this gift?
Feiying thought about it.

Few people know that their favorite chocolate is 'Ji Ke Ba Chocolate'.

Apart from a few friends living abroad, the only people in this island country who know that I have this hobby are Kogoro and his daughter, and Sawawa and three others.

If this gift was given by Xiaolan, she would definitely write her name on it, and the same goes for Zeyu.

But there was no name on the gift.

Kisaki Eri knew without a doubt that this chocolate must have been sent by that kid Kogoro.

Maybe it was because he made me angry last time, and after reflection, he realized he was wrong, so he sent gifts to apologize.

Moreover, given Kogoro's personality, it was normal for him not to write his name when giving something to Kisaki Eri.

In other words, if Kogoro's name was written on the chocolate, Kisaki Eri would have been alert and suspected that the chocolate was sent by someone else. However, this gift did not have a name on it, which did not arouse her vigilance.

Kisaki Eri subconsciously felt that this gift was sent by Kogoro.

Since it was a gift from that guy, how could there be anything wrong with it?

Kisaki Eri smiled.

Maybe Xiaoyu is just overthinking?
Thinking of this, she picked up a heart-shaped chocolate and prepared to put it into her mouth.

Just as the chocolate was about to fall into Hibiki Eri's mouth, at this moment...

Swish!
There was a flash of lightning, and the chocolate in Kisaki Eri's hand disappeared.

"Huh?" Kisaki Eri widened her eyes and stared blankly at her empty palm.

The next moment, she reacted and looked towards the corner of the table.

At some point, a petite figure sat on the table. He was wearing casual clothes and had his back to Kisaki Eri.

Even though she didn't see his face, but only saw him from behind, Kisaki Eri didn't hesitate at all and recognized the other person's identity instantly.

With this bright golden hair and unique temperament, who else could it be but Ze Yu?
"what!"

Because Ze Yu appeared too suddenly, the assistant was startled and quickly took several steps back.

A trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in horror.

After the assistant recovered, he discovered that the figure was actually a handsome little blond boy.

She blinked and couldn't help but stare blankly, her whole body unable to help but froze.

Even the slight fear of the unknown that had just arisen in her heart was thrown behind her.

At this moment, the assistant had only one thought in her mind, which was...

This child is so cute!
I really want to hug him!
A blush appeared on the assistant's face, and he became a little shy.

and many more……

Now is not the time to be infatuated.

"Little friend..." the assistant asked curiously, "How did you show up?"

Just now, in the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly appeared in the office.

This speed is simply not something a normal person can achieve, right?

Cars don't go that fast.

Hibiki Eri smiled helplessly and explained to her assistant: "Don't be afraid, this child is a friend of mine, you can just call him 'Xiaoyu'."

"Oh." The assistant nodded quickly, and her eyes looking at Ze Yu revealed deep curiosity and amazement.

Ze Yu's expression was calm. He just looked at the chocolate between his fingertips quietly without saying a word.

"Xiao Yu." Fei Yingli asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly come here to find me?"

"What do you think?" Ze Yu turned his head, and a hint of blame appeared on his originally calm face.

"Have you forgotten what I said to you before?" Ze Yu clenched his fist slightly and crushed the chocolate in his hand.

"I told you not to accept anything given to you by others. Why are you so greedy?"

"If you want to eat chocolate, just go buy it yourself, can't you?" Ze Yu looked at Kisaki Eri helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of 'disappointment with someone'.
