Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 407 Helping Others
  "To Kaitou Kidd, I have the big gem [Miracle of the Sea] you want. If you want it, come and get it. Suzuki Jiroyoshi, advisor to the Suzuki Zaibatsu."

In Sato Kiyoshi's office, Lu Ren was sitting on the sofa, reading this morning's morning paper.

After sending Bei Dao to the office and receiving a wave of compliments and congratulations from his colleagues, Lu Ren opened the door of the president's office, ready to see what the old guy wanted to ask him to do again.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Ren found today's morning newspaper spread out on the coffee table in the office. Out of the professional habits of a literary worker, Lu Ren subconsciously read the contents of the newspaper.

Just this look made him frown immediately. Lu Ren pointed at the newspaper, "Who wrote today's morning paper? The writing style is average, but the layout is messy. These few lines of text take up a whole page. Without Bei Dao, there is no way for Dongbao to take action. Are you here?"

Facing Lu Ren's question, Sato Kiyoshi was not annoyed. He smiled, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said calmly, "Mr. Suzuki wrote this himself, and the typesetting was specially requested by him. He is rich. There’s a lot of money.”

"That's okay."

Damn, it's nice to be rich.

Lu Ren closed the newspaper and pushed it aside. Out of sight and out of mind, he looked at Sato Kiyoshi again, "Why did you call me here?"

"That's it. Our previous plan to deal with Kaito Kidd has to be changed." Sato Kiyoshi stood up from behind his desk, locked the office door, and sat next to Lu Ren.

"This morning, Mr. Suzuki Shiro called me. The general message was that his cousin, Mr. Suzuki Jiroyoshi, is a bit old. He is 72 years old this year. Mr. Suzuki doesn't want to see his brother wandering around the world anymore, especially Go to some more dangerous places.”

"You also read the report just now. What Mr. Suzuki means is that since his cousin has found a new toy. He hopes that this toy is new enough, fun enough, and durable enough."

Hearing this, Lu Ren opened the previously closed newspaper again. Although he didn't want to admit it, when it came to scum, his reading and comprehension skills were particularly strong and he could make sense at a glance, "You mean, we need to change our strategy." , from Kid Black to Kid Blowing.”

"That's right! There are no eternal enemies. Mr. Suzuki no longer cares about Kidd's previous offense against the Suzuki Zaibatsu. After all, Miss Suzuki likes Kidd. And a powerful enough prey can better arouse the hunter's interest. Let's From now on, we need to praise Kidd, the higher he is, the better, and the stronger he is, the better."

"Then there's no need to call me here. Just let that Inujiro write the flattering manuscript."

Akiyama Inujiro, Akiyama Ergouzi. This man's dog-licking articles were still fresh in Lu Ren's memory. In this kind of article that praises others and praises their merits, the writing style is actually secondary. The key is to pass the test in one's heart and to be shameless enough.

Lu Ren wrote a manuscript, and Dongbao only gave him 50,000 yen. Lu Ren felt that this little money would not allow him to violate his conscience.

"It's definitely not for this. The main reason is that Mr. Suzuki wants to ask you to do something. You have performed very well in several previous operations against Kidd. So Mr. Suzuki wants to ask you to secretly protect Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi. Phantom Thief After all, Kidd is just a thief. You can't have any hope in a thief's moral quality. What if he hurts someone."

Lu Ren was wary, but he said calmly, "This is not a joke. If the protector doesn't hire professional bodyguards, why would he want me as a reporter?"

"Because Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi is more competitive and strives to be first in everything. He also has a very strong self-esteem. If he notices that he is being protected by others, he will definitely be angry. But he will never think that you are the one The one who secretly protects him.”

Kiyoshi Sato said meaningfully, "Who would doubt a reporter who looks ordinary?"

Lu Ren started the appraisal in silence.

There are no operating monitoring, recording, or video recording equipment in this office, let alone someone ambushing them. And there is no sniper spot nearby. Unless this person can set up a sniper two thousand meters away and maintain sufficient sniper accuracy.

There was no warning in his heart, and luck had not entered the countdown. Sato Qing, who was sitting next to him, was only calm at the moment, not nervous or scared.

It seems that this is not a game specifically targeted at him. They may know something, but not much. In other words, the Suzuki Zaibatsu knew something, but did not explain everything. Sato Kiyoshi only knew part of it.

Judging from the strength of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, Lu Ren believes that the second possibility is higher.

The Suzuki Zaibatsu knew something, but did not reveal it to Kiyoshi Sato. Otherwise, being so close to a top killer would make such a face-turning behavior that is almost tearing off one's waistcoat. Someone else would have killed Sato Qing long ago, but Lu Ren was kind-hearted and could temporarily restrain his murderous intention and weigh and observe first.

This is to replace the previous divine pen. Sato Kiyoshi is now physically outstanding. Sato Kiyoshi’s behavior may be better understood with an example. That is, he took the initiative to lock himself in a cage with the tiger, and even tried to tease the tiger's beard.

Lu Ren didn't believe that Sato Qing's psychological quality could be so strong, that he could not care about his own life at all, not be nervous at all, and remain calm from beginning to end.

So there is only one explanation left, Sato Kiyoshi didn't know about it. He had no idea how dangerous his actions were.

Old guy, you think you can control him and use him. Little do you know that in the eyes of the people above, you are just a piece of dispensable waste that can be discarded at any time.

Alas, I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person. As a result, you are determined to cause trouble.

"Go on, you should have something else to say."

An unspeakable but inexplicable chill gradually flowed from Sato Qing's spine to his limbs. It's hard to describe this feeling. If I had to say it, someone would put a knife on his neck. No, it's more than that.

There should be dozens or even dozens of sharp and sharp swords pressed against all the vital points around his body.

If you move... you'll die.

His consciousness, his thinking, his perception. All words related to personal will warned him very clearly and clearly at this moment.

Don't move, if you move... you'll die.

But just at this moment, Sato Kiyoshi's body began to tremble and tremble involuntarily.

Every organ, every muscle, every cell in him began to scream fear, and he instinctively wanted to escape from here. This is the instinct of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is not under his control at all.

Personal will and biological instinct begin to conflict fiercely. Sadly, he could neither go against his will nor his instincts. He couldn't do anything now. He could only sit there, trembling like chaff, waiting for the judgment of fate.

This was also the first time that Sato Kiyoshi discovered that he did not understand his divine pen at all.

【Homo sapiens (fear)】

Sure enough, Sato Kiyoshi didn’t know. Lu Ren, who verified his guess, took back his shark energy with satisfaction. He stretched out his hand to straighten Sato Kiyoshi, who was sitting in a crooked posture, "Old man, what's wrong with you? You must take care of yourself."

"It's fine, I'm fine."

"It's okay, then you can continue."

"Yes. In addition to secretly protecting Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi, Mr. Suzuki also hopes that you will protect Kaitou Kid. If he really misses, don't let him be caught by the police and let him go. If necessary, the Suzuki employees will listen You command and cooperate with your actions."

Previously, Sato Kiyoshi thought the first one was okay, but the second one was a bit too difficult. Tiaozi is not a good person. But now Sato Kiyoshi has no doubts at all.

"Well... it's illegal and criminal to shield criminals. You let me, a law-abiding citizen, do such a thing."

"Mr. Suzuki also knows your difficulties. Thirty million. Collect the money first, and then do the work."

"Done." Lu Ren's smile at this time was friendly and familiar, as if he was seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"We don't do it for money, the main thing is that we like to help others."
