Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 420 Staying Alone
  Three o'clock in the afternoon, in Dr. Ali's courtyard.

"Just wait a moment, it'll be fine soon."

Lu Ren was wearing a gray apron and stood in front of the oven with his sleeves rolled up. Haiyuan stood not far away and silently watched his operations.

【Food (undercooked → well cooked)】

"OK. It's ready to eat."

Looking at a large plate full of octopus balls in front of him, Haiyuan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ren, why are you thinking so hard about making this?"

And it’s still at this point in time…

Not long ago, Lu Ren suddenly paid a visit and mysteriously said that he wanted to show her and the doctor a trick. As a result, Lu Ren had been selling it for a long time, and the last thing he saw was that he was making octopus balls.

"This one." Lu Ren used a bamboo skewer to insert a meatball from the plate. After making sure that his skills were good, he replied slowly: "We didn't go to Osaka together last time. I think you seem to like eating this. At that time, I just thought about learning it myself and cooking it for you when I come back."

"But then I got a little busy, so I forgot about it. Last time I went to Koshien, and I didn't stay there for a long time, so I found a master and learned how to make octopus balls. Yes. Yes, I also learned how to make Okonomiyaki, and I will make it for you next time."

"Ah."

"How does it taste?" Lu Ren asked after watching Haiyuan finish a small octopus ball.

"It's good, I like it very much."

"That's fine. You take it to the house and eat it with the doctor first, and I'll make another plate."

"Ah."

……

After finishing cleaning up, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Ren simply continued to stay at the doctor's house, waiting for dinner before going to the office.

After the meal, the three of them sat in the living room, and in a few words the topic turned to Conan. There was no way around it. After all, apart from the topic of Conan, Lu Ren and the doctor had nothing else to talk about.

"Are you saying that Xiaolan is about to reveal Shinichi's identity again?"

"Yeah." Lu Ren picked up the coffee and took a sip, thinking that the coffee brewed by Xiao Ai was delicious, "He should come over tonight to ask for help."

Dr. A Li nodded: "I guess so, we'll see when the time comes."

Lu Ren put down the cup, "Doctor, do you think he won't confess?"

Dr. Agasa nodded first and then shook his head, "I actually don't know, but I guess he won't confess. Shinichi told me about this, and he said he didn't want to see Lan as worried as him."

"Afraid?" Lu Ren wanted to laugh, but it was not polite to laugh at this time, so he reached out and rubbed Rua Haiyuan's head, "I have never seen him afraid. I feel like he is quite lively every day."

No, as soon as Lu Ren finished speaking, Conan ran in alive and kicking. "The doctor is not good! Hey, Brother Ren, you are here too, so do you already know..."

Lu Ren replied: "Yes. We were just wondering whether you would confess your identity to Lan."

Dr. A Li nodded. Haiyuan didn't react at all. She hadn't even glanced in Conan's direction since he walked in. Her attitude could be said to be quite cold.

Conan naturally noticed this, but he was used to it. He walked quickly to Haiyuan, "Haiyuan, I want to ask you for a favor."

"No time."

"..."

Lu Ren stretched out his hand and tapped Haiyuan's head, "You are so rude. Even if you refuse, you must look the other person in the eyes and refuse."

"Oh." Haiyuan turned his head, looked at Conan and replied seriously, "I'm not free."

"Well, Brother Ren..."

"Talk about your plan first."

"That's what I think. I don't have an antidote in my hand. When the time comes, I'll take the antidote and let Haiyuan disguise himself as..."

"Wait a minute." Lu Ren couldn't help interrupting Conan's speech, "Why do you have the antidote in your hand?"

Conan subconsciously looked at Haiyuan, but found that Haiyuan avoided his gaze, and Conan reacted instantly. Huiyuan didn't mention this matter to Lu Ren at all. Wait, if he accidentally let it slip, wouldn't it mean that Hui Yuan would hate him again? To suffer...

"I gave him the antidote. I forgot to tell Brother Ren."

"This way." Lu Ren looked at Conan, "That antidote is not good for the body, especially the heavy load on the heart, and if you take too much, you will become drug-resistant, and you will never be able to change again. These little Ai should have told you that since she handed the medicine to you, I won’t ask any more questions. You can use your own discretion. But I don’t recommend that you take medicine rashly just for this reason."

"Well." Conan looked at Dr. A Li, "Doctor, hurry up and prepare a new mobile phone and a mobile phone card for me. It's best to hurry up. I probably need to use it tonight."

"There seems to be one at home. I'll go look for him." After saying that, the doctor got up and left. Lu Ren suddenly asked at this time: "Why do you need a mobile phone card? I can just give you a mobile phone."

"The mobile phone doesn't work. I'm going to call Lan tonight and I need to get another mobile phone card."

"What do you mean?" Lu Ren frowned, and then he slowly came to his senses. He asked tentatively, "Have you never given Lan your mobile phone number before?"

"I gave it to Conan, but not to Shinichi Kudo."

"Then how do you usually keep in touch?"

“I don’t contact you usually, I only send emails at most.”

"..." Lu Ren pressed the knuckle of his right index finger between his eyebrows, "You have confirmed your relationship for so long, and she doesn't even have your mobile phone number?"

Lu Ren's blood pressure was a little high after hearing Conan's words just now. Especially when he recalled what Lan had said to him while holding a rose in her hand at that holy place for marriage proposal.

[I, Mao Lilan, am Kudo Shinichi’s girlfriend. 】

Her firm look and tone at that time are still fresh in Lu Ren's memory.

"No."

Lu Ren sighed, "You'd better disappear from my sight now."

"Oh." Conan immediately got into the basement and followed the doctor to find his cell phone.

After his figure completely disappeared, Lu Ren put down his hand and said softly: "I feel a little unworthy for Xiaolan now."

Haiyuan neither affirmed nor denied. She stretched out her right hand, gently smoothed Lu Ren's frown, and then put her hands on Lu Ren's hand. "Whether it's worth it or not, feelings are a matter between two people. Brother Ren, please don't interfere."

"Well, I know. I just don't understand. Even if he thinks it's troublesome to carry two mobile phones on his body, why not put two mobile phone cards in one mobile phone?"

This time it was Haiyuan's turn to frown. She repeated what Lu Ren had just said, "Two SIM cards for one phone? What does this mean?"

"Dual-SIM dual-standby. Wait a minute." Lu Ren suddenly reacted, "Don't current mobile phones have this function?"

"At least not as far as I know. Is this the technology from your hometown, Brother Ren?"

"Well, probably." Lu Ren said vaguely, "I don't know much about this. But if the current mobile phones don't have this function, then I can contact the mobile phone manufacturers or operators and sell them this idea. .”

"Ah."

"By the way, Bei Dao seems to know someone from the operator. I'll tell her about this tomorrow."

Haiyuan raised his eyebrows and retracted his hand silently.

About three to five minutes passed before Conan and the doctor came out of the basement together.

"I'll leave first, Xiaolan and uncle are still waiting for me outside."

"Wait a minute."

Lu Ren called out to Conan, not because he had anything to do with him, but because he was reminded to do so. In addition, Xinjue also reminded him...

"Xiao Ai, go turn on the TV and tune it to Rimai TV Station."

After a while, the host's voice came from the TV.

"At around 7 o'clock tonight, a female deceased was found in a car parked next to the Tsumutsu River. Preliminary investigation showed that the deceased was Ms. Karitani Honoko, a housewife from Cupido Town."

"What?!" Conan quickly walked to the TV. After confirming the face of the deceased, his expression suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

"She is the client I told you on the phone this morning. Unexpectedly..."

"It's interesting." Lu Ren got up from the sofa, "Let's go, I'll go take a look with you. Are you going, Xiao Ai?"

"No. I want to rest."

"Row."

ps: Dual SIM dual standby was invented in 06, but it is not available yet.
