Chapter 277 Time Capsule
Chapter 277 Time Capsule
"No! I'm not interested in the new clerk at Poirot Café!" Karasuma Akimitsu seriously rejected Suzuki Sonoko who was talking on the phone, "And I don't like stews, any stews at all!"
"Hikari! Yesterday was Shinichi's birthday!"
"So what? It's already passed. He and I have never been interested in celebrating each other's birthdays."
"...The 18th is Xiaolan's birthday." Suzuki Sonoko decided to change direction.
"Not yet." Karasuma Akimitsu snorted, "Today is only the 5th."
"Boys' Day? Look, we can go hang a carp flag for Shinichi. After all, he is only eight years old now." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head and laughed.
Damn it. Karasuma Akimitsu was a little tempted. What could be more mocking of Conan's age and height than hanging a carp streamer on him?
"Come out and have a meal with me at the Poirot Cafe, then we'll give Conan a carp streamer, and then pick up Xiaolan and buy her a princess dress for her birthday." Suzuki Sonoko happily arranged the action plan, "How perfect."
"Wait, why don't you call and ask first. Is today a holiday? The Junior Detective Team may not be at home at all. They may have gone out for group activities." Karasuma Akimitsu finally remembered the key point of this plan.
Suzuki Sonoko was silent for a few seconds, then she remembered: "Yes, these guys at this grade don't have any homework at all." These words revealed her genuine envy and jealousy.
"And I have homework to do." Karasuma Akimitsu snorted.
After hanging up the phone, Karasuma Akimitsu took a book in one hand and started typing on the keyboard with the other. After he went directly to the Chinese professor to take the exam in advance, the professor now gave him homework of translating some short stories from Chinese to Japanese.
Fortunately, there was enough time given, otherwise Karasuma Akimitsu would have considered spending money to find a few Chinese students to act as his ghostwriters.
"If you go out, I'll be your bodyguard these days." On the sofa in front of the desk, Gin crossed his legs on the coffee table, his elbows on the armrests of the sofa, his chin supported by the back of his hands, and he was reading the news on his mobile phone.
"Where's Bourbon?"
"I was called to the laboratory by Armagnac. He wanted to test the connection between the soul and body of a creature, as well as the impact of input such as thought data."
Karasuma Akimitsu thought about the scene of him and Gin meeting the now amnesiac Akai Shuichi. It was a bit beautiful and he didn't want to see it.
So I continued typing on the keyboard.
The cell phone rang and Karasuma Akimitsu answered the call.
"Those kids are now taking care of animals at Teitan Elementary School."
"As you can imagine, with such a long vacation, we must go to the chicken coop to feed the chickens and clean the rabbit cages." Karasuma Akimitsu nodded.
Suzuki Sonoko sighed: "By the way, I wonder how the chicken we started raising in the first grade is doing now?"
"They died a long time ago, right? Chickens don't have a very long lifespan." Karasuma Akimitsu held his phone between his shoulders and continued typing. "By the way, the rabbits must have been replaced several times."
"Really, I was a little sad. But I just heard that someone at Teitan Elementary School is organizing a class reunion."
"Oh, I'm not interested in participating."
Suzuki Sonoko clicked her tongue and said, "It's not us. They are several years older than us. They are seniors who are already working."
Karasuma Akimitsu was a little wary: "You want to go and see? I'm not going."
"They're looking for a time capsule, how interesting."
"I'm not interested. Besides, why should we look for time capsules? Can't we just dig them out directly?" Karasuma Akimitsu was puzzled.
"No, the person who hid the time capsule was a senior named Miyano Akemi, but that senior didn't come to the reunion. They have to find the time capsule based on the clues that senior left behind. Isn't this the time for me, the queen of reasoning, to come on stage?" Suzuki Sonoko said proudly.
"Miyano Akemi?" Karasuma Akimitsu felt that the name sounded familiar.
Gin, who was sitting on the sofa, turned around and looked over.
"Yes, do you know Xiaoguang?" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just thought I heard this name somewhere before."
Gin had stood up and walked over, standing behind Karasuma Akimitsu, slightly bent down, his long silver hair falling down and sliding off Karasuma Akimitsu's shoulders: "Public release." Gin whispered in Karasuma Akimitsu's ear.
Karasuma Mingguang turned his head slightly, took off the mobile phone that was tucked under his shoulder, and pressed the play button.
Suzuki Sonoko raised her voice: "This name doesn't have any special features, but she seems to be very popular in their class. Several people who are looking for the time capsule like her."
"How do you know they like her?" asked Karasuma Akimitsu with a smile.
"This is my favorite radar, hahaha. But if you don't want to come, forget it. I'm going to go over and see what's going on, and by the way, take a look at the rabbits we raised back then."
Karasuma Mingguang glanced at Gin's expression and said with a smile: "Then I'll take a look too."
"Xiao Guang, are you willing to come over? That's great! Then let's go to the cafe together after the wait!" Suzuki Sonoko was overjoyed.
"No, let's go buy a princess dress for Miyuki first. By the way, I also want to see the time capsule that Miyano Akemi buried."
"Yeah, you also recalled your childhood, right? Did you bury the time capsule of our class?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered.
"No, it was Shinichi who buried it, but I know where it is. We agreed at the time to retrieve it ten years later, so there's still two or three years left." Karasuma Akimitsu raised his hand and tucked the silver hair that Gin had dropped on him behind his ears, then he stood up with Gin and walked towards the study door.
"They are all memories. I can't even remember what wish I buried." Suzuki Sonoko sighed.
"I still remember mine." Karasuma Akimitsu said proudly.
"What is it?"
"you guess!"
After hanging up the phone, Karasuma Akimitsu looked up at Gin and asked, "Is there something wrong with that woman?"
"Go and see what's left in her time capsule. She used to be a member of the organization." Gin opened the door and let Karasuma Akimitsu walk in front.
"You're a member of the organization in the sixth grade of elementary school?" Karasuma Akimitsu was quite surprised.
"If we leave any information about her parents, it will be troublesome."
"Oh, the second generation of the organization?" Karasuma Akimitsu said with a smile, "What a friendly identity."
"You've met her."
"Ok?"
"Your birthday present: one billion in cash."
Karasuma Mingguang raised an eyebrow: "Oh, it's her."
Karasuma Manor is far from the city. When we arrived at Teitan Elementary School, it was already past four in the afternoon. Suzuki Sonoko opened her arms joyfully and rushed towards Karasuma Akimitsu and gave him a hug: "The matter has been resolved perfectly!"
"Is there anything interesting in that time capsule?" Karasuma Akimitsu patted Suzuki Sonoko on the back and then let go.
"No, but that Miyano Akemi is such a perfect person." Suzuki Sonoko said, supporting her chin with her fingers.
Gin, who got off the car later, raised his lips: "Oh? Did she leave something interesting?"
"Mr. Kurosawa, long time no see. You are the one accompanying Xiaoguang out today."
Suzuki Sonoko raised her hand and greeted happily.
"Ms. Suzuki." Gin nodded as a greeting.
Karasuma Akimitsu was still wearing a gray-blue men's kimono today, looking very plain. He picked up his fan and patted Suzuki Sonoko on the shoulder: "First, tell me, what did Miyano Akemi leave behind?"
"It's a group photo of the sixth grade class A students. On the back is written "Hope everyone's dreams come true." Suzuki Sonoko raised her hand and brushed the hair by her ear. "It's really a standard girl manga character with a beautiful and kind heroine. Although I'm very moved, it feels somewhat bland as expected."
Gin scoffed. "Just one photo? Nothing else?"
"No more." Suzuki Sonoko shrugged. "Although I couldn't help but cry with her classmates at the time, but when I think about it carefully later, isn't this the type you often talk about, either a saint, or actually have no goals or their real goals cannot be made public?"
"I'm so touched that you can remember even something like what I said." Karasuma Mingguang said in a reading tone.
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand: "Okay, stop laughing at me."
"Where are the members of the Junior Detective League?" Karasuma Akimitsu looked up and found that no children followed them out.
Suzuki Sonoko looked back and said, "Hey, Conan and the others just followed us to the school gate? Are they not following us any more?"
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko's phone rang. She picked it up and saw, "Ah, the seniors from the 19th class reunion said they would treat them to snacks and dinner, thanking them for finding the time capsule." Suzuki Sonoko read the text message and frowned. "I just heard that you were here and you were so happy to have dinner with me later. How come things changed so quickly?"
Karasuma Akimitsu tilted his head and said, "Is it hard to refuse the kindness of those seniors?"
"Forget it, let's go to the Poirot Cafe for dinner."
Karasuma Akira, sweat dripping from his bald head, pressed Suzuki Sonoko's shoulders and said, "Wait! Do we have to go there for dinner? How about I treat you to something else delicious?"
"Why don't you want to go to the Poirot Café?" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously.
"Yeah, why?" Gin walked to Karasuma Akimitsu and looked down at him.
Karasuma Akimitsu curled his lips: "...Okay, let's go." He turned around and grabbed Gin's arm to lower his body, and whispered in his ear, "Be prepared mentally, and don't cause any trouble when you go in."
Gin raised an eyebrow: "Who's in there?"
"rye."
Suzuki Sonoko was walking beside them and contentedly took out her cell phone to take a picture of the two of them from behind. The click sound made them both turn around at the same time.
"It's nothing, I just think the height difference is really beautiful." Suzuki Sonoko held her face and smiled.
"Are you laughing at me for being short?" Karasuma Akimitsu said indignantly, "I'm already 174cm tall."
"Oh, but it looks like there's at least a 15cm height difference between you and Mr. Kurosawa." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the photo, walked over to Karasuma Akimitsu and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on."
Karasuma Akimitsu let go of Gin's hand, looked back at the gate of Teitan Elementary School, and saw two little heads huddled behind the wall next to the gate.
Shaking his head slightly, Karasuma Akimitsu followed Suzuki Sonoko towards Gin's Porsche and whispered to Gin, "Don't pull out a gun in the street later."
