Chapter 161: It was you who got Xiao Ai pregnant?
Conan, who had been ordered around by Tanigawa for a long time, finally had time to handle the case.

The woman was silent and the man was in tears. This was indeed not an ordinary drowning incident. The murderer did not hide from the "sleeping Kogoro" and was taken away by the police.

But this time no one died, which made Kogoro very confused after he woke up.

What's going on? How can I continue to pretend to be a 'criminal mastermind' if no one dies?
What? Gin is gone, so there's no need to kill anyone?

That's fine.

Tanigawa, Koai and the other two sat by the window, eating exquisite Korean food.

Vermouth and Tanigawa sat opposite each other, talking and laughing. Ai ate her meal alone with a blank expression, occasionally glancing at the police car outside the window.

Xiao Ai felt that her journey was not smooth just like Xiao Lan's.

"Pay the bill."

"Hello, the total consumption is 20,000 yen."

"Isn't this set meal 10,000 yen per portion? We ordered three." Vermouth said.

The waiter smiled politely, "It's like this, today is our boss' wedding anniversary, and all couples who come to the store today can get a free light bulb."

Xiao Ai looked up.

For couples, light bulbs are free?
Light bulb? Me?

"Okay." Vermouth smiled, took out a card from her bag and handed it to the waiter.

"I didn't expect you, Vermouth, to be so poor that you have to take advantage of others even for a meal." Xiao Ai said in a flat tone.

And this restaurant, which keeps doing these weird promotions, will close sooner or later.

"I can't help it." Vermouth took out a nail clipper and scrubbed her nails, saying helplessly, "After all, after I took over Gin's position, I have to support so many people, so of course I have to be more careful with money. Especially for a certain person who spends money lavishly and extravagantly."

The waiter returned the card to Vermouth with a smile.

"Let's go after we finish eating." said Vermouth.

Tanigawa stood up and wanted to pull Ai away.

"and many more."

Xiao Ai sat motionless on the sofa and picked up the chopsticks again.

"I'm not full yet, I want another portion." Xiao Ai looked up at the waiter with a cold expression, "The light bulb is free, does that mean I can eat as much as I want?"

"Of course, little sister."

"Oh, then give me the most expensive set meal."

"Please wait."

Soon, the waiter brought the set meal.

"Is this a single meal?" Xiao Ai asked.

"Yes."

The Korean food she had just eaten gave Xiao Ai a wrong impression that the portions in this Korean restaurant were small. But the set meal served this time was a full pot.

It is topped with lamb and seafood, with noodles underneath and two plates of kimchi.

Ai felt that she might not be able to finish it, but she didn't want to let Vermouth laugh at her.

"If you can't finish it, we will charge you the normal price," the waiter reminded.

Vermouth covered her mouth and laughed, "Shirley, forget it if you can't finish it."

"Oh, I can finish it."

Xiao Ai used chopsticks to pick up the food in the pot and put it on the plate beside her, then began to eat slowly.

Tanigawa and Vermouth looked at Ai quietly. Ai was neither hurried nor slow. She ate noodles and kimchi, and held the bottle for a long time to drink water.

"Forget it if you can't finish it. Vermouth doesn't need that little money." Tanigawa said.

"I can finish it." Xiao Ai said stubbornly.

Stop looking down on me. I don't need your help.

Vermouth looked at Ai with a smile on her face, raised the goblet and shook it, and even the water in the goblet tasted a little sweeter. Poor Shirley, her personality and brain became smaller after her body became smaller. Ai reluctantly put on plastic gloves, took out an oyster and started to open the shell.

It took him a long time to open the shell, and he asked the waiter for vinegar.

After pouring vinegar on it, I took off my gloves and picked it up with chopsticks, taking two bites of each oyster.

There were three oysters in total, which wasted a lot of Ai's time.

The diners around covered their mouths and laughed.

This table looks like the sister went out to eat with her brother and sister-in-law. The sister didn't like her sister-in-law's temper, so she deliberately ordered a very expensive set meal to embarrass her, and she seemed to be eating too much.

The brother and sister-in-law looked at their sister, who thought she was very fierce and cute, but was actually very adorable, and they smiled from time to time.

Vermouth put down the goblet, looking somewhat unsatisfied, "You eat slowly first, I'm going to the bathroom."

Vermouth stood up and smiled at Ai, touched her head and ruffled her hair, then walked towards the bathroom.

Xiao Ai hummed softly, then continued to concentrate on the food on the table, but her movements were slower, taking her a minute to chew a single noodle.

He didn't talk to Tanigawa the whole time and just ate in silence.

"Watching you eat makes me hungry too. Let me have a taste." Tanigawa picked up the chopsticks and picked up a handful of noodles from the pot.

"What are you doing!"

Xiao Ai hit Tanigawa's chopsticks with her chopsticks, then gently protected the pot with her hands, looking at Tanigawa with a puffy mouth.

"Look hungry, give me some."

Tanigawa gently lifted Ai's hand, pulled the pot in front of himself, and then ate directly from the pot.

"Can't you use a plate? How can I eat it if you use the pot directly?"

"Don't eat anymore. Children can't digest too much." Tanigawa said as he ate, "Vermouth is too stingy. She only treated me to such a small meal. I can't even be full."

"I asked you to eat less for your own good. You should thank me."

"Humph!"

Xiao Ai sniffed and finished the food on her plate with great effort.

When Vermouth came back, she saw Ai wiping her mouth.

"You have a good appetite."

"It's just so-so." Xiao Ai had a blank expression on her face.

"Then let's go." Tanigawa burped.

Ai stood up with the help of the table and left the restaurant first. Vermouth smiled and patted Tanigawa's belly, then followed behind Ai and looked at her shadow.

My stomach is swollen.

Tanigawa took out a handful of money and gave it to the waiter as a tip, then grabbed a piece of paper and followed.

"Bill, please."

Inside the restaurant, a table of guests finished their meal.

"Hello, your total consumption is 30,000 yen." The waiter came over and said.

"Eh? If this isn't a couple's meal, then the light bulb is free? It should be 20,000 yen, about right." said the young man.

The waiter smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, we don't have such a discount in our store."

"That's the table next to us!"

"Sorry, there's nothing for the table next to us either." The waiter kept smiling politely.

After pestering the waiter to no avail, the young man angrily paid 30,000 yen under the waiter's threat to call the police, cursing "swindler", "never come again", "go bankrupt soon", "damn shill".

The young man walked to the door, still feeling aggrieved, "I hope your boss gets divorced soon!"

"Thank you for your blessing." The waiter bowed sincerely.
