It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 221 Let’s Have Fun

Having a safe trip, Lingshi and his men arrived at the destination before sunset. They were not going home, but to another place.

This place is none other than Jianggutian City, not far from Mika. The reason why I made a special trip here before going home was also planned long ago.

After Ling Cheng woke up, he was called out of the taxi. He looked at the hotel in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Uncle, haven't we reached your house yet? We've been traveling all day and we still have to sleep in a hotel."

Ling Cheng yawned. He was more interested in where he would live in the future, so he was a little disappointed standing at the door of this hotel.

Lingshi smiled and comforted him:

"We have things to do tonight. Let's quickly go in and get our things ready so I can show you something fun."

After hearing what Lingshi said, Ling Cheng felt a little more alert. He had slept all the way. Lingshi was quite considerate to him. He didn't wake him up when they got off the plane, but carried him away directly.

Although I was quite sensitive and woke up when I was touched, I relaxed again after I found it was midnight. I squinted my eyes and was half asleep and half awake, with no intention of getting down and walking on my own.

At that time, when he felt the muscles of the person in his arms tense, he wanted to let go, but within three seconds, his body relaxed and collapsed.

Zero Hour: Is this kid so relaxed? He believes me now?

System: No, I think he simply doesn’t want to leave on his own, because I feel like I’ve seen this kind of expression somewhere before…

Zero Hour: When have you seen it?

System: Host, when you enter the no-man's land.

Midnight: Too lazy to criticize.

After entering the hotel room and putting away my things, Lingshi pulled out two sets of night clothes from my backpack as if by magic.

Ling Cheng: "Wow, uncle, you can do magic?"

He clapped his hands symbolically and nodded his head in agreement. The system poured a bucket of cold water on his heart.

System: Actually it is taken out from the system space.

Zero Hour: You are the one who talks too much.

Before Lingshi could start arguing with the system, Ling Cheng came over, holding the clothes and asked:

"Are we going to be thieves or spies?"

Zero Hour: "Go catch the thief."

"what?"

Ling Cheng was confused as he tried out a slightly smaller set on himself. Was he trying to trick the thief into thinking he was in the same industry by dressing like this in the middle of the night?

No, why would they catch a thief in the middle of the night? Are they planning to take him on a city patrol, stealing the police's jobs? Do they even get paid?!

Ling Cheng: "Uncle, is your main job some kind of incognito superhero, catching thieves in the middle of the night?"

Ling Shi picked up the newspaper he had just bought on the road and handed it over. The headline on the cover was exactly the notice letter that a thief had enlarged.

Zero Hour: "Come on, before we go, play a code puzzle. Whether we can catch the person depends on you."

Ling Cheng took the newspaper and was speechless.

"Uncle, why do you have so many tests? Don't you trust me so much?"

Ling Cheng took it for granted that this was a test prepared for him by Ling Shi. Ling Shi simply did not trust his abilities. The puzzle in the courtyard was not enough, and there was another one here.

Zero hour innocent tone explanation:

"This isn't a test. I mean it when I say I'll take you out for fun. It's just that without you, I'd be stuck all night. Don't you want to try catching a thief for fun?"

Ling Cheng pretended not to believe it, but his eyes were actually shining, and he couldn't take his eyes off the newspaper. He didn't have such excitement in the academy.

I compared it with the nightgown next to it and it was his size. It couldn't have been made at midnight, it must have been decided when I took him away.

Since he wants to do it himself, then do it, do your best and show him, so that he can see what you are capable of.

Ling Cheng pressed the newspaper on the table, took out a pen and a notebook, and began to write and draw on the table to crack the code.

At midnight, I was relaxing, sitting on the sofa playing with my phone, and by the way, I reported my safe location to Huang Quan.

Huang Quan knew Ling Shi hadn't returned home and asked what he was doing. Ling Shi replied casually:

"Take the kids out to play and come back tomorrow."

Huang Quan: You really have a lot of free time, don’t get carried away.

Zero Hour: It’s okay, this kid doesn’t look like Conan, I have to take him for a spin.

Huang Quan: I know, I'm telling you not to bully the kids too much.

Midnight: Got it, got it. I promise he’ll have fun and nothing will happen to him.

Huang Quan on the opposite side had a look of distrust on his face. He always felt that Ling Shi would give the child a hard time. He prayed that this little boy Ling Cheng, whom he had never met before, had a big heart.

Lingshi was slacking off and playing Tetris when Ling Cheng had already cracked the code. He looked over triumphantly, but when he saw that Lingshi wasn't paying attention, he went around to the back to look at the screen in his hand.

Ling Cheng thought he was hiding, and Ling Shi had already discovered him. Ling Cheng thought Ling Shi was looking at some confidential documents, but when he saw the familiar game interface, he let out a sigh of disappointment.

I paused the game at midnight and looked back at him.

"Why, you don't like Tetris?"

Ling Cheng looked over with dead fish eyes, his face full of disappointment, not hiding it at all.

"I'm trying to decipher the code and you're playing Tetris here. Is that appropriate?"

Zero Hour: "Isn't it appropriate? What else should I do? Cheer you up? I'm not a cheerleader."

There was no point in talking nonsense any more, so Ling Cheng got back to the point and said that he had figured out the code, then took out his notebook to show Ling Shi.

I read it quickly at midnight, and at the end it said 8:30 in the evening, at such and such place, in such and such a way.

The time has been confirmed, but there are still several speculations about Kaito Kid's action patterns.

Ling Shi was surprised when he looked at the notebook, so he looked at Ling Cheng and asked:

"You wrote all of this, so impressive! Did you look up all the information?"

Ling Cheng shook his head.

"No, I just read the newspaper and looked up information about this place. I couldn't go there, so the information isn't comprehensive, but these are the general methods."

Lingshi: "My dear, you can use the computer, right? I'll give you one to put in your room."

Ling Cheng: "Okay, can I choose it myself?"

Ling Shi: "Pick whatever you want. I'll take you shopping tomorrow."

Lingshi was really impressed by him. Why didn't he have such a brain?

System: Host, there is no need to belittle yourself like this. You were able to foresee many things and developments before, and you saved many people who would have died.

Zero Hour: I don't mean to belittle myself. System, you know, he is only twelve years old. Unlike me, who has lived a full life, his achievements are greater than anyone else on our side.

System: Well, then we can say we have found a treasure?

Midnight: Of course, we don’t have to worry about Conan running around anymore in the future. We might even get a pleasant surprise.

Ling Shi was chatting with the system, and Ling Cheng was already writing and drawing other things in his notebook. Ling Shi leaned over to take a look and saw that the guy was writing a plan.

He really wants to catch Kidd, so he might as well send Kidd a nemesis. Maybe Ling Cheng and Conan can kill Kidd by then.
