Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 487 On the Throne
  [A new member of the organization has been dispatched. He is an expert in intelligence gathering, observation, and insight. The organization's code name is Bourbon. Please proceed with caution. And...just stay away from Glenfiddich! The further away the better! 】

……

"Stay away from Glenfiddich? Did she say the reason?" After thinking for a moment, Conan finally couldn't help but ask the reason.

Since Shuichi Akai's "death", Judy's phone calls have been unreachable. For example, in the murder case at KTV yesterday, Conan wanted to call Judy to confirm and see if the deceased was a member of the FBI, but he never got what he wanted.

Today she called, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she got such explosive news.

The organization sent a new member. This information was certainly worth the risk for Mizuno Reina to take and call to warn him.

But what about staying away from Glenfiddich?

What on earth did Lu Ren do? He was able to scare Reina Mizuna, who was a teammate in every sense of the word, into this state.

"I didn't say anything. She spoke very fast when she made this call. She seemed to be racing against time, trying to find an opportunity to pass on the information. After saying that she wanted to stay away from Glenfiddich, she hung up directly. Telephone."

"However, that woman named Glenfiddich does make me feel very dangerous. Shuichi's death may have been caused by her. I will have to settle this account with her sooner or later."

Judy's tone was very calm, as if everything mentioned before had nothing to do with her, and she was as indifferent as an outsider.

Or perhaps, she feels that everything she mentioned above is a matter of course, a truth that must be practiced without doubt.

She sealed away her sadness and anger and transformed it into a more lasting and powerful inner drive.

Conan could clearly feel this turbulent emotion hidden under the calm water through the screen of his mobile phone.

Judy's anger, Judy's determination.

But the problem is...

Glenfiddich is a man...

She is still kept in the dark until now.

Even though she was determined to dye the horn of revenge red with blood, she didn't even understand the object of revenge.

Conan remained silent.

Revenge is good. But if she can't use her own ability to expose Glenfiddich's true identity.

Then don't let her go up to deliver it...

Conan chose to keep it a secret. This is not only to consider Judy from his own perspective, but also to keep his promise.

As early as when they were discussing the all-or-nothing bet, Shuichi Akai added an extra sentence at the end.

[After I die, tell the FBI not to mess with Glenfiddich. They are not opponents. 】

In this regard, Akai Shuichi and Mizumu Reina maintain a high degree of consistency.

Although this may not be something to be happy about.

The school bell rang, and Conan temporarily put these things behind him. He put on his schoolbag and followed Haiyuan.

As he was leaving the school gate, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.

That was his classmate Kaito Sugiura. He said that something strange happened at home and wanted to ask Edogawa Conan to go find out.

Conan was very familiar with this kind of request that was delivered to his door, and he made an appointment with him to go to his house at noon tomorrow.

Seeing that Conan agreed, Kairen said goodbye to him happily, cheered and ran towards home almost at a gallop.

At this time, he didn't know what fate he would face next.

The seven-year-old may have simply believed that he had successfully invited the smartest child in the class to his home. They can share toys and play games together and spend a pleasant afternoon together.

At night, his friends can take action to solve the troubles he encounters.

But it turns out that reality is not a fairy tale book, and the progress of the story will not be as beautiful as he expected.

At noon the next day, Conan went to the appointment on time.

Sugiura Kaito's home is located at No. 2, 23-chome, which is right near Dr. Agasa's home, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

But the sights in front of him made Conan wonder if he was lost and in the wrong place.

Sugiura Kaito's home is said to be a small apartment, with several tenants living in it. But what Conan could see now were only the remains and embers licked by the fire.

Conan couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and dial Haiyuan's number.

"Are you at home? Come out first, something happened outside. Not far away, the home of Kai Ren's classmate was burned down..."

……

"Someone set a fire and the house was destroyed? Is his house a wooden structure?"

"Hmm...probably." Haiyuan wasn't sure why Lu Ren first focused on the material of the house.

"Yes, there are many wooden houses here, and wooden houses are more earthquake-resistant. Is it possible that the fire accidentally broke out? There are three tenants in this apartment, and none of them were at home when the fire broke out last night? It seems that it was indeed an arson case. "

In the afternoon, Lu Ren had just sat down at the Rice Flower Cafe. Before he could take a sip of the coffee he ordered, he immediately received a call from Haiyuan.

He was still somewhat interested, but as soon as he heard that there were no casualties, he immediately lost the idea of ​​setting off.

Even if this kind of case is solved, there will be no lottery draw. Anyway, Edogawa Conan is here, so leave it to him.

"By the way, there's one thing I'm more concerned about, Brother Ren." When he said this, Haiyuan's voice suddenly lowered, as if he was whispering through a mobile phone, "I feel the aura of the organization from those three tenants. One of them should be a member of the organization."

"Organization members... don't you know them?"

Lu Ren was a little surprised by this. Lu Ren had shown Haiyuan photos of all the named members of the Tokyo branch.

He has Xiaoyou, the elf on the bracelet, so he doesn't need to take secret photos at all.

As long as you pass by that person, his various physical data can be recorded in the book.

And... ever since we recaptured Geel and killed Shuichi Akai, the Tokyo branch has been pretty quiet recently.

"I don't know him. He may be disguised."

camouflage?

Wait, this feels familiar.

A disguised member of the organization even had his rented house burned down.

Lu Ren counted the time again and asked tentatively, "Among the three tenants, is the name of one of them named Subaru Okiya?"

"Yeah. He said he was a graduate student at a university and was 27 years old."

"It's really him."

Akai Shuichi who faked his death and opened a trumpet.

However, Lu Ren remembered that this guy was in his thirties, and now he lied about his age and claimed that he was twenty-seven.

Haha, an old man who pretends to be young.

"It's okay, he is Shuichi Akai in disguise."

"Huh? Is it him?"

During the night talks two days ago, Haiyuan also learned about Akai's plan to fake his death from Lu Ren.

Huiyuan didn't care much whether this person was dead or alive.

Although she almost killed her sister because of him. But what happened? Her sister is still alive and well. And if it weren't for this incident, it would be unlikely that she would have met Lu Ren now.

In a sense, she may also be grateful to Shuichi Akai (?)

Anyway, the merits and demerits are equal to each other.

As for Akai Shuichi's death, there is a high probability that her sister will be very sad.

Hmm... It would be better for this kind of bastard who has ulterior motives to play with other people's feelings to disappear into my sister's world as soon as possible.

Whether it is Akai Shuichi's death or his rebirth, Haibara is not prepared to talk to Miyano Akemi about this now or in the future.

All people or things related to Akai Shuichi are forbidden topics to be mentioned.

"Well, it should be him."

It couldn't be the same name, but just in case, Lu Ren was still going to check the specific information about this person with Huiyuan.

"Xiao Ai, does he have pink hair? He wears glasses and squints his eyes. The collar is very high, basically covering his entire neck."

"Ah."

"That's right, it's him. The reason his collar is so high is because there's a tiny voice changer hidden in his neck."

"Voice changer?" Haiyuan's tone fluctuated significantly. When she mentioned the voice changer, she subconsciously thought of someone.

"Yes. The doctor should have given it to him. Dr. Agasa may have been involved in the entire suspended animation plan. Judging from your tone, neither he nor Edogawa Conan disclosed this aspect to you."

"Um……"

"The reason they hid it from you is probably because they don't want you to worry. But I always feel that communication is the ultimate way to solve the problem."

Haihara Ai is very smart, very smart.

Even if Edogawa Conan and the others kept it secret, she could still get some clues from the clues.

But these piecemeal clues only made her already sensitive and uneasy.

When Lu Ren saw famous detectives in his previous life, the most annoying thing was that these people knew clearly and hid it.

Forget it if he had something to hide, he still had nothing to do but put on a bad face to scare Haiyuan.

There can be many reasons and excuses, but whether intentional or not, this is the fact.

They never really asked Haiyuan for her opinions and views. They always thought that she would be nervous, worried, and scared after knowing the truth.

In the name of doing her best, he made the decision for her on his own initiative.

This was never good for her.

After taking a knife and cutting it open, you can actually find that those so-called good intentions hidden under the beautiful skin are actually disgusting machismo coming out of the bones.

But Lu Ren actually doesn't care about this. Whether it is male chauvinism or female chauvinism.

It's just a futile struggle by a boring person to maintain his own thin self-esteem.

True pride and confidence are never expressed in this narrow way.

People who try to interfere in other people's lives and forcefully make decisions for others are actually losers who are not confident enough.

A truly strong person has no need or bother to do this. As long as they do their own thing, others will spontaneously follow and imitate them.

As for these weaklings, they have no confidence and lack of confidence because they have been defeated again and again.

Instead of looking for reasons from yourself, you transfer the reasons for failure to others, thereby protecting your own low self-confidence.

They feel that their own methods are not wrong and the problems lie with others. So I forced myself to make decisions for others and started taking over everything.

But in a life that is already a failure and clouded with dark clouds, how can the putrid soil under his feet produce truly beautiful flowers?

Acting completely according to the opinions of these losers will only make you another loser.

The pride in Lu Ren's bones never allowed him to do such a thing, it was too low.

Rather than controlling other people's lives, he prefers to focus his time and energy on himself and control his own destiny.

There is a throne on the highest step. All he has to do now and in the future is to climb up step by step.

There is no guide ahead and no followers behind.

When he finally sat on the throne forged by loneliness, no one in the world had the right to crown him.

At this point, all beings are equal except him.

But if it was Xiao Ai, Lu Ren would be willing to share his power with her.

It doesn’t matter if there are no guides or followers. Having someone to go with you is enough.

It's okay even if you can't keep up with him for the time being.

If you find the road difficult to walk, then smooth it.

After the leveling, the slope is too steep, so build a cable car that reaches the sky.

Lu Ren's request for those who travel with him has never been to share adversity with him.

That would be too bitter.

It is enough to be able to share wealth and wealth with him.

Seeing that Haiyuan was silent for a long time, Lu Ren smiled and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry about them. If they want to hide it, let them hide it. Just watch the show next to them, watching them work hard, immersed in self-sacrifice and In the sweet dream of self-impression. No need to wake them up."

"They thought they did a good job of keeping their plan secret. They hid it from the organization and the FBI. They are probably still intoxicated with the success of the plan. But from the beginning, I knew they were thinking about something. What."

"Huh?" Looking at Edogawa Conan who was focusing on solving the case, Haibara asked in confusion, "Brother Jin, have you been monitoring them?"

"That's not necessary. How should I put it? A proud child, constantly showing off his toys to others. Those toys are very beautiful and exquisite. Everyone who passes by stops and admires them."

"But the total toy box this child owns is only that big. He can take it out from it, and there are only a few toys to show off to others. People around him look at it over and over again. No matter how exquisite the toys are, they are There will always be a day when you get tired of watching it.”

"If you wait a little longer, pedestrians will not only know the toy he puts in front of him, but also guess the toy he is hiding behind and will take out next."

"He thought he hid it well. But there are only so many things. And toys are always just toys."

"..."

Lu Ren seemed to have said a lot, but after Hui Yuan summarized it, he only had one sentence.

[I have seen through your little thoughts a long time ago. 】

"Brother Jin, Edogawa Conan will cry if you say that."

"How is it possible? That kid is quite strong. I believe in him."

Suddenly, Haibara Ai felt that she could understand Edogawa Conan.

Edogawa hid the matter from her, and Lu Ren's explanation was that Conan was afraid that she would worry.

This reason makes sense, but it is only one aspect.

More importantly, the real key reason is that she is not alone, Lu Ren is standing behind her.

Lu Ren, who was aloof and indifferent, extremely proud and extremely dangerous.
