Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 532: Overtime
There was nothing much to say about taking the doctor home. They were just two petty thieves whose bodies were controlled by Xiaoyou. Anyone could take them to the police station.

If Xiaoyou could only make a move in the spiritual world of people and could not affect the external body, Lu Ren would want to control the two people and let them go directly to the police station to surrender.

Of course, this is not a big problem, it’s just a matter of making one more trip.

After all, Xiaoyou is just a leisure bracelet developed by the people of Blue Star for entertainment and relaxation. It can achieve this point now because he, Lu, exploited a system loophole when the Internet was disconnected.

Couldn't ask for more.

After escorting the two thieves to the Metropolitan Police Department, Lu Ren was surprised to find that the policeman responsible for receiving and recording the case happened to be the protagonist mentioned by Xiao Ai and the others this afternoon - Chiba Kazunobu.

That's not right. Wasn't this guy on a date? Why was he here? Could it be that he was on a date and got a notice to work overtime?

It's a bit miserable, but considering the work intensity of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, it's reasonable.

After all, Takagi and Sato's series of love stories basically took place during work, when they were dating while working.

It seems very romantic, but you can't really think about it. If you work overtime for a few days, you will know how fucked up it is.

Lu Ren gathered his thoughts and handed Qianye a mint candy. "Officer Qianye, why are you on duty today?"

Qianye didn't quite understand what Lu Ren meant. He held a mint in his mouth and mumbled, "Yeah."

Seeing this, Lu Ren simply said, "How was your date tonight? I heard from Xiao Ai and the others."

"It's not a date, it's a class reunion." Qianye corrected Lu Ren's statement, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If everything went well, I wouldn't be here tonight."

"That girl rejected you?"

"Not really. She didn't go to the class reunion." He put down his pen and ruffled his hair. "This is embarrassing. The whole Metropolitan Police Department will know that I'm heartbroken."

"If she just didn't show up for the date, it can't be considered a broken heart. Maybe she was just stuck on something and happened to miss the reunion. The person who organized the reunion should have her contact information, right? Don't you want one so you can call her?"

"No... Isn't this a bit too reckless?" Qianye hesitated, "Maybe she has already forgotten me."

"Hmm..." Lu Ren pondered for a moment and decided not to continue persuading.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

He now realized that Chiba's determination and motivation were not enough.

Perhaps when he just deciphered the reply letter in the evening, he mustered up the courage and made up his mind to express his feelings to the girl.

After another setback, he chose to retreat. Or, in other words, rational thinking took over again.

In fact, if you think about it, more than ten years is enough to change a person beyond recognition.

The affection we had in childhood will become just a joke when we meet again.

In this case, there is nothing more to say.

"It's okay, Qianye, you're still young, you'll meet the right person eventually." After a few words of comfort, Lu Ren paused for a moment, "What do you mean the whole Metropolitan Police Department knows that you've broken up? Did you tell anyone about the meeting?"

"Well..." Qianye said gloomily, "I just came out of school this afternoon and ran into Yumi. She asked me what made me so happy, and I told her."

"Yumi, Yumi Miyamoto from the Ministry of Transportation?"

"Ah."

"That's it, everyone will know it."

There is nothing in this world that cannot be spread through that little loudspeaker.

Lu Ren suspected that with the speed at which Yumiko's news spread, Chiba's colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department already knew that he was going on a date before he even got to the class reunion. The same goes for the breakup. At most tomorrow, everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department will know about Chiba's breakup.

But... this is also not a big deal.

To put it bluntly, the premise of a broken heart is that there was a previous relationship between the two. Qianye's case was at most a confession that ended in vain.

And even if it was a real breakup, only the person involved would feel sad. After others talked about it for a while, the matter was forgotten in their hearts.

Whether he can get out of this is Chiba’s own business. They all have their own things to do.

Lu Ren did the same. He patted Qianye on the shoulder and finally said goodbye and left.

Xiao Ai is still waiting for him at home.

……

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Ren, who had just pulled Ai out of the bed, received a call from Conan.

Lu Ren supervised Xiao Ai washing her face and brushing her teeth while listening to Conan's passionate bombardment on the other end of the phone.

He has reason to be excited. Next weekend, he will go to London, England, a place he has been longing for.

That was the former residence of his idol Sherlock Holmes.

Coincidentally, Conan during the Kudo Shinichi era actually went abroad quite a lot, often going to Hawaii for various trainings. But the only thing he had never been to was London, England.

So being able to go there this time really feels a bit like a holy land tour.

As for why Conan suddenly wanted to go to London, the reason was really a bit bloody.

"Brother Ren, let me tell you, we are really super lucky this time. This morning, we were eating fruit sundaes in the cafe downstairs when a white cat sneaked into the store. Uncle Maori just picked it up when a British lady pushed the door open and said it was her cat and she had been looking for it for a long time. To express her gratitude, she invited us to visit London and she paid for all the air tickets and accommodation."

"Oh, like this."

Lu Ren's reaction was very calm. If this happened to anyone else, he would find it hard to accept. But when it came to Mao Lilan, he thought it was actually quite normal.

After all, no matter how outrageous things have happened, they are nothing special.

The only thing that's not quite right is the character of a certain famous detective.

As the protagonist of the original work, he usually does not ask for anything in return for such a small favor. After all, he solves cases for free.

But considering that the noble lady invited them to visit London, Conan's behavior is understandable.

Who doesn’t have a dream-chasing moment?

Lu Ren's reaction was indifferent, and so was Huiyuan, who was washing up nearby. Since Lu Ren's phone was on loudspeaker, she listened to the whole thing.

She lowered her head and spit out the mouthwash, then poured cold water on Conan's head mercilessly.

"Does Conan Edogawa have a passport to travel abroad?"

"what……"

Just by listening to the voice, Lu Ren could guess that Conan on the other end of the phone was wilting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It shouldn't be that difficult to get a passport to go abroad..."

"Really? Thank you, Ren-ge!"

ps: I have been working overtime this month and I have hardly been able to go home on time. I don’t take a break at noon and it is common for me to work until 10 pm at night. Sad.
