Tsukamoto Kazumi stood up, a look of delight still on her face, and greeted, "I didn't expect you to be here, Yunwen-san. Are you done with your business?"
Shu Yunwen scratched his head. "Not yet. I saw these four brats near Tokyo Tower, and since it was almost noon, I invited them to lunch."
"Hello, Kazumi-neechan, hello to both of you!" the four kids greeted politely.
"Hello to you too!" Tsukamoto Kazumi replied before saying, "Yunwen-san, Matsushita-san, and the four little ones, please sit down. This family restaurant has a really good taste."
The table was long and could seat seven or eight people, so even with six adults and children including Shu Yunwen, it didn't feel crowded.
After everyone was seated, a waiter walked over and bowed slightly. "Excuse me, what would you like to order?"
Shu Yunwen pointed at the four children. "Do you have children's meals? If so, please prepare four children's meals for them."
"Yes, sir," the waiter replied. "Four children's meals, correct?"
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi sighed in unison. "A feast is just a children's meal?" Genta particularly emphasized, "I can't eat enough of that."
Shu Yunwen ignored the three kids' complaints. Tsukamoto Kazumi smiled and said, "The fried pork cutlet and pickles here are very good, and they can be served separately upon request."
"Then bring two servings of each, and serve them separately to the four of them," Shu Yunwen said casually. He and Matsushita then ordered their own meals and waited for the food to arrive.
Taking this opportunity, Tsukamoto Kazumi introduced the two classmates beside her. "This is Matsushima Kōran, and this is Kawasaki Sayuri. They were also your classmates in high school!"
"Oh, really? I'm so sorry, I've forgotten a lot of things since I woke up," Shu Yunwen apologized quickly.
Matsushima Kōran and Kawasaki Sayuri said, "Shu-san, please don't worry about it."
After a few minutes of conversation, Tsukamoto Kazumi suddenly said, "Right, you asked about Genta and the others' whereabouts in front of the art museum earlier. Seeing how worried you looked then, I thought you had something important to discuss with them..."
Shu Yunwen smiled and interrupted, "Actually, I was just passing by."
Conan, that curious fellow, seized the opportunity to ask, "Brother Yunwen went to the art museum and specifically asked where we were?"
Tsukamoto Kazumi said, "Yes!"
Matsushima Kōran chimed in, "Shu-san really looked very anxious at the time..."
Conan pressed further, "How did Brother Yunwen ask? Can you tell me?"
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes and gently pulled Conan's cheek. "Little guy, you're very curious!"
This kid asks too many questions?
As they were talking, the food finally arrived. At the same time, the three members of the bandit group who had been following them sat at a table in the distance, still pretending to be casual as they kept an eye on Shu Yunwen and his companions.
Shu Yunwen wasn't too concerned about this. As long as these three weren't completely brainless, they wouldn't do anything in front of so many people. Well, this could just be a little spice to their meal.
Shu Yunwen and the others chatted and ate. When Shu Yunwen was almost done, the pager on Matsushita's side suddenly rang. Matsushita quickly answered it and said "uh-huh" a few times before covering the mouthpiece and saying to Shu Yunwen, "Lord Yunwen, it's the office. Secretary Adachi says that Miss Ono Yoko's agent, Mr. Yamagishi Eiichi, is at the office right now and seems to want to discuss Miss Ono's affairs. He looks quite anxious..."
"Yamagishi Eiichi?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment.
He certainly remembered this person!
Ono Yoko's agent was now at the office. This meant that Ono Yoko's situation was probably not ideal.
Well, this could be considered a business opportunity?
Shu Yunwen took the pager. "Hello, this is Shu Yunwen. Vice President Matsushita and I will return to the office immediately. Please tell Mr. Yamagishi Eiichi to wait."
"Understood, Lord Yunwen," replied Secretary Adachi.
After hanging up the pager, Shu Yunwen said apologetically, "Kazumi-san, I'm really sorry, but there's a client waiting at the office right now, and I have to go back immediately..."
A flicker of disappointment crossed Tsukamoto Kazumi's face, but she still smiled. "It's alright, Yunwen-san. The office matters more, you should go back quickly."
She had originally thought she could spend the afternoon with Shu Yunwen.
"I'm truly very sorry," Shu Yunwen apologized again, then turned to Genta, Conan, and the others. "Oh, and Genta and the others. I saw on the news today that there were members of some Italian Bandit Group on the loose in the country. It's too dangerous to let young children like them be out on their own..."
Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately smiled and said, "If Yunwen-san is worried, you can leave them with me. I'll take them home."
Shu Yunwen got the answer he wanted and immediately said, "Really? That would be too much trouble, Kazumi-san. Well, I'll pay for this meal. Also, if there's a chance in the future, I'll treat you to coffee to thank you."
Well, those three bandits were still sitting there! It was better to send these four kids home first.
"Ah! We don't want to go home!" Genta immediately protested.
"In the afternoon, we're going to search for our treasure!" Mitsuhiko said.
Ayumi also said, "I want to use the money from the treasure to travel the world!"
Conan, however, agreed with Shu Yunwen. "It is indeed dangerous for children to be out without adult supervision, so..."
However, Conan's words were completely ignored by the other three.
Tsukamoto Kazumi exclaimed in surprise, "The children are going to search for treasure?"
Mitsuhiko took out a treasure map and said, "That's right! We found this treasure map in front of the art museum, and we're sure to find a huge treasure!"
Tsukamoto Kazumi took the treasure map and looked at it. Seeing the simply drawn figures, she squinted and smiled. "It really looks like there's a big treasure! How about this, why don't I accompany you to search for treasure this afternoon?"
Beside Tsukamoto Kazumi, Matsushima Kōran and Kawasaki Sayuri frowned together. "Kazu-chan, we still have homework to finish, and we have to go back to do it this afternoon."
"It's okay, you two can go back first. I've finished my homework and can accompany the children." Tsukamoto Kazumi said.
"In that case, thank you for your trouble, Kazumi-san," Shu Yunwen said after some thought. He felt that with Tsukamoto Kazumi accompanying them, it should be safe enough. Moreover, even if he sent these little ones home, they might sneak out again to continue their search. It would be better to have Tsukamoto Kazumi with them than to have trouble later.
Anyway, as long as it got dark, with his memory, he was sure he could find the treasure location faster than Conan and the others.
The three bandit group members will definitely keep an eye on Conan and the others. Once they get their hands on the treasure, they'll figure out where Conan and the others are, make a call to the police, and all the danger will be resolved.
Shu Yunwen turned and instructed Genta and the others to behave themselves, then handed his pager to Tsukamoto Kazumi. "Kazumi-san, please take this pager for now. It'll be more convenient if anything comes up. My pager number is XXXXXXXX. If anything happens, feel free to page me, and I'll call you back as soon as possible."
"Uh... okay." Tsukamoto Kazumi took the pager.
After a few more words, Shu Yunwen and Matsushita Heisaburo left in a hurry. Before leaving, Shu Yunwen casually glanced at the bandit trio – these three guys were still staring at the paper in the kids' hands and hadn't noticed Shu Yunwen's gaze at all.
Outside the family restaurant, Shu Yunwen and Matsushita Heisaburo got into the car. After the car started, Shu Yunwen took out the photo taken by the instant camera, looked at it carefully for a moment, and recalled the details.
Matsushita Heisaburo looked at Shu Yunwen strangely. "Lord Yunwen, is that paper in their hands the clue to the Maple Leaf Gold Coins? But aren't you being a bit too cautious, Lord Yunwen? They're just kids, after all. They wouldn't mind even if you took pictures right in front of them, would they?"
Shu Yunwen smiled and put the photo away. "Matsushita-kun, they are indeed kids. However, one of them is quite troublesome. If I leave any clues in front of him, he might just chase after it relentlessly..."
Kudo Shinichi... no, that kid Conan is a detective!
Creatures like detectives, if they encounter any questions, will pursue them relentlessly.
When it comes to the Maple Leaf Gold Coins, Conan is a very troublesome guy.
