Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 488 Your wife is very kind
  Edogawa Conan may be well aware of Lu Ren's indifference and pride.

Haibara tried to assume the identity of Edogawa Conan and use his perspective to view the entire incident.

That probably means that from beginning to end, regardless of Lu Ren's intention or not, Edogawa Conan has always lived under his protection.

But the word shelter can often be linked to shadow.

While the broad wings blocked the storm, they also blocked the sunlight that should have been visible to him.

The patronage itself may be benevolent. But for a young man who has grown wildly in the sun.

Living in someone's shadow means that he has lost the possibility of continuing to draw nourishment.

It's not like Edogawa Conan didn't resist.

It's just that his resistance and struggle seemed very weak and weak, so weak that Lu Ren didn't even notice that he had taken any action.

Regardless of whether Edogawa was obedient or rebellious, all he got in the end was "Well done."

[You can play whatever you want, I don’t care. 】

Just like Lu Ren said to her just now, everything is just a child's toy after all.

Regardless of whether Edogawa chose to show the toy to others or got angry and broke it and dismantled it.

In Lu Ren's eyes, it doesn't matter. They are all children's lively performances, worthy of appreciation and encouragement.

This kind of high-level scrutiny, judgment and even tolerance, even with good intentions, can sometimes make people feel painful, sad or even afraid.

But this time, Edogawa and Shuichi Akai teamed up to formulate and implement a plan, and they felt they had succeeded.

He hid it from the organization, the FBI, and even Lu Ren.

Haiyuan didn't know whether Conan thought about taking this opportunity to prove himself to Lu Ren when he was implementing the plan. He probably did.

But he failed after all.

Lu Ren actually saw what they did all the time.

Beneath his gentle appearance is an indifference that has never changed.

Yes, nothing has ever changed.

Edogawa and the others risked their lives and all their desperate efforts in exchange for the words "children's toys".

Edogawa Conan really makes you cry.

Huihara Ai said these words again, this time from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai? Can you hear me?"

After not hearing a response from the other end of the phone for a long time, Lu Ren began to worry whether Haiyuan was feeling a little depressed.

She still cares about Edogawa doing things without telling her.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren decided to increase his efforts to solve the problem.

As Subaru Okiya played a key role in the later stages of Conan, Lu Ren still remembers the plot of his first appearance quite clearly.

Although taking advantage of the prophet's plot and pretending to be a prophet or something like that, it was never part of Lu Ren's plan.

But if it was for Xiao Ai, then Lu Ren wouldn't mind being the one for once.

As long as they belittle and ridicule those two appropriately, Haiyuan's mood should be restored.

"You can hear me. Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"It's okay, I understand. Xiao Ai, you don't actually need to care about them. Even if they do this or that without telling you, it's still just a small fight and won't lead to anything."

"Hiding in the dark can be understood as forbearing, dormant, showing weakness to the enemy, accumulating strength and finally giving the enemy a fatal blow. But this also means that he does not have the ability to face challenges head-on and directly solve difficulties."

"To put it bluntly, he is not strong enough. He is called the ace simply because the people around him are too weak."

"Um……"

"Xiao Ai, didn't I tell you just now that I guessed their plan to fake death? You may not believe it yet..."

"No, Brother Ren, I..."

"It's okay, I'll demonstrate it to you live again. They are just kids playing house, it doesn't matter, it's easy to guess."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren paused for a moment, seeming to organize his words.

"The university graduate student's house was not burned down. When the arson case is solved, he will come over to talk to you, hoping to visit Dr. A Li."

[Do you know Dr. Ali? I want to meet him. 】

"When he arrives at the doctor's house, he will identify himself and say that he is a graduate student at a certain university and feels that he is qualified to work as a doctor's assistant. Then he will say that my apartment was burned down and he hopes to live there temporarily. it's here."

[I am a graduate student in the Department of Engineering. The house I live in was burned down. Can I live here until I find a new place to live? In my spare time, I will be your assistant to the doctor. 】

"Dr. Agasa will nod in agreement, but will ask for your opinion. Then you will shake your head and reject him. Then Conan will stand up and say that he can live in Kudo Shinichi's house next door."

[How about this, you go stay in Brother Shinichi’s room. It’s that room, and no one is living in it now anyway. 】

"At this time, Xiao Ai, just ask him in a low voice, why do you want to lend your house to a stranger? He will answer you..."

[Because there are no bad people who like Sherlock Holmes. 】

"Because there are no bad people who like Sherlock Holmes."

This sentence is like some kind of password containing special energy. The moment you hear it, time will flow again, forcing Haiyuan to walk out of his memories.

The sunlight outside the window shines into the house, and the warm light seems to have taken on a physical form at this moment, weaving everything around like an illusory, fragile dream.

Everything that happened before, looking back, seems to have been artificially covered with a hazy veil, making it difficult to see clearly and clearly.

Haihara Ai looked at Conan's face carefully, observing every detail of his face.

If she was actually living in a dream now, then she would definitely not be able to remember Conan's face clearly.

Well, it doesn't look like a dream.

"Haiyuan, what's wrong with you?"

A long time ago, Edogawa Conan discovered that Haibara behaved differently today than usual.

He didn't care much at first, thinking that maybe she didn't get enough rest.

But just now, this strange feeling reached its peak.

The look in Haiyuan's eyes just now made him feel extremely confused.

It seemed like she was pitying and pitying him.

But why?

"It's nothing."

It’s just that you have been completely seen through.

"Doctor, I have something to do tonight. You can take care of dinner yourself."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Haiyuan turned and left.

The moment she opened the door, the sunlight rushed in, leaving everyone behind her in shadow.

She didn't look back, and stepped briskly into the land of light. Under the gaze of others, she walked farther and farther until she disappeared.

For some reason, a feeling called frustration spread quietly.

Just like the all-pervasive light, no one talks about it, but everyone knows its existence.

"Did she realize something?"

After a long time, the university graduate student who was five years younger spoke up and broke the silence.

"It shouldn't be. Doctor, are you talking in your sleep?"

"Probably...probably not?"

……

"Brother Ren, where are you now?"

"I have something to do. I'm outside now. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I got home and found you weren't there." Surprisingly, the ancient recipes that I reproduced yesterday were not overturned. Huiyuan wanted to keep up his efforts today, but this time he failed.

Lu Ren was not at home. According to Dabai, he never came back after going out this morning.

"I'm probably going to come back later today, so you don't have to wait for me to have dinner. A new colleague has come to the unit, and I'm going to receive him."

New colleagues in the unit...

Haiyuan instantly understood the meaning of this sentence. What makes Lu Ren make a special trip must be the arrival of new members from the organization.

Moreover, Lu Ren also used this kind of reference, which was probably because he was surrounded by members of other organizations, so it was not convenient for him to speak.

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll wait for you to come back."

"Don't wait for me. I don't know what time it will be when I get back. Just rest when you get there."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, a lazy yet elegant female voice came to my ears.

"Honey, it's against traffic laws to talk on the phone while driving."

"It's okay, there was no surveillance on that stretch of road just now."

At this time, Lu Ren was driving a Porsche to Tokyo Haneda Airport, with Belmode sitting in the passenger seat.

This afternoon, not long after Lu Ren put down his cell phone, he received another call from Belmode.

The meaning on the other end of the phone was also very clear. They were going to have a new colleague coming soon, and he would fly out this evening.

Belmore hoped that Lu Ren would go with her to pick up the plane. As a host, you should show your kindness as a landlord.

When Lu Ren heard these words, he wanted to complain.

The new colleague could also guess that it was Bourbon, who was Toru Amuro.

His true identity is the Japanese police.

When it comes to familiarity with Tokyo, Toru Amuro is definitely more familiar than a stranger like him.

Even if you don't consider his status as a Japanese police officer, just talk about his nationality.

It is too strange for an American and a Chinese to treat a Japanese as landlords in Tokyo.

It is said that the famous scene is "My lover is this country."

Then Lu, as the protagonist, will take this person around Tokyo and show him the customs and customs of Tokyo.

Doesn’t that say to him, “Your wife is awesome?”

"..."

No, what on earth was he thinking about...

It must have been influenced by Koshimi Nanatsuki.

After Kitajima returned to Tokyo, Koshimizu Nanatsuki finally had a serious job instead of staying at home every day.

Not to mention, wearing a slim suit and skirt, she really looks like a professional elite. The premise is not to speak.

Japan is an interesting country. Women can register for marriage when they are sixteen years old, but they are not allowed to drink until they are twenty-one.

It is illegal to drink alcohol before you are twenty years old.

Koshimi Nanatsuki happens to be twenty years old, so even though she has entered the workplace, she cannot, like other colleagues, go to an izakaya after work and use alcohol to numb her nerves.

So she chose another place to go.

Rice Krispies Cafe.

Her roommate and best friend is working here and may inherit the store in the near future.

Anyway, Lu Ren didn't understand how she drank the juice to the point of becoming beer, and he didn't understand how she really felt like she was drunk after drinking it.

The messy words that came out of his mouth were a bit greasier than the greasy uncle who had been in the workplace for many years.

Lu Ren, who was sitting nearby writing, was often fed a lot of information and was forced to accept a lot of messy knowledge.

Others use wine to relieve their sorrows, but she uses juice to relieve their sorrows.

Lu Ren didn't know whether it was because she had a bad nature, or whether the excessive pressure in the workplace forced her to become mentally abnormal.

Anyway...it doesn't matter.

Everyone's mental state is not normal these days.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki is willing to speak, and Shimabukuro Kimie is also willing to listen. Then let her be.

Lu Ren himself was somewhat affected, but he couldn't use the "boss' majesty" or anything like that to force her to change places.

Because the above words were not meant for him. Koshimi Nanatsuki's own speaking volume was actually within the normal range.

Lu Ren could hear just because his body had been strengthened by the medicine, and his hearing was much better than that of ordinary people.

He can hear conversations that others can't hear.

It is a good thing after all, and the small cost is not worth caring about.

……

Half an hour later, Toru Amuro's plane arrived at the airport on time. Lu Ren also finally met this super popular character Amuro Toru in the post-Conan era.

This person has many identities, including Bourbon, a member of the organization, Toru Amuro, a clerk at Poirot and Kogoro's apprentice, and Rei Fukutani, a Japanese police officer.

It is said that he has different personalities under different identities.

What Lu Ren is relatively familiar with is his apparent identity, Toru Amuro.

He is sunny and cheerful, has a good personality and is good at cooking. In short, he is a person who is easy to get along with.

As for now, what they are about to receive is Bourbon, a member of the organization, a mystic like Belmode.

Lu Ren knew very little about Bourbon's identity. He basically only remembered one sentence about gin's comments about bourbon.

[He is a mystic, arbitrary and unsightly. 】

It's just that, as far as Gin's personality is concerned, there are not many people he can like.

Just listen to what he says, don't take it seriously.

But the mystics are right in their assessment.

The Riddler.

The same is true for Belmode, if they really maintain a high degree of consistency in this regard.

Doesn't that mean that he can show Amuro to the gender-changed version of Belmode?
  If he had to deal with this kind of person, Lu Ren felt that he would be somewhat satisfied.

The female version can handle it, and the male version will definitely have no problem.

At least Bourbon would never be like Belmore, calling him "darling" when meeting him.

It was only when he actually saw the real person that Lu Ren realized that he might have been wrong.

No matter what Belmore is like on the inside, she is actually very easy to deal with on the surface.

Perhaps because of her extreme arrogance, she was able to maintain her noble and elegant ladylike demeanor without losing etiquette when dealing with everyone.

As long as you can keep up with the rhythm, you will have a more pleasant chat experience.

This is enough for Lu Ren.

Perhaps when a person has the idea of ​​​​understanding her deeply, he will be hurt by her hidden sting and poison.

But Lu Ren never had any plans in this regard. He was not interested in Belmore, and he never thought about getting into her heart.

Lu Ren was satisfied as long as everyone could maintain a seemingly harmonious relationship with each other.

Before receiving Bourbon, he had the same plan.

We are all in the same company, so it just makes sense on the surface.

Unfortunately, it seems that Bourbon cannot give him what he wants...
