Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 13 Kudo Shinichi's Requiem
Polo Bar.

Ten five minutes past ten at night.

There were no customers in the store anymore, and the street outside the glass window had become deserted. Lin Ye stood quietly behind the bar, flipping through the menu.

The door of the lounge suddenly opened, and Aragaki Kaho, who had changed her clothes, walked out and stopped in front of the bar.

Lin Ye raised his head: "What's wrong, do you want to have a drink before leaving today?"

Aragaki Kaho blushed and asked, "Are you really... planning to put that photo on the bedside table?"

[Are you a pervert? ]

"I don't have to put it at the bedside, but I will keep it well. Xiaolan's photography skills are really good." Lin Ye said with a smile.

"What about Xia Fan? What are you going to do with that photo?"

"Humph, this is my business, you have nothing to do with it."

Lin Ye didn't hear what she was thinking at this moment. It seemed that she was in confusion.

Lin Ye guessed correctly, Aragaki Kaho really didn’t know how to deal with the photo.

She originally planned to burn it directly, but inexplicably felt that it was a pity. If she kept it, she didn't know where to put it or how to feel about this photo.

As soon as she saw the content of the photo, she felt very confused.

"I am leaving."

[I'm not saying goodbye to you on purpose, I'm just saying it casually, don't be too proud]

Lin Ye smiled: "Well, see you tomorrow."

When meeting Lin Ye's gentle gaze, Aragaki Xiafan's face suddenly became hot. She immediately turned around and left the bar as if escaping.

After the door was closed, the bell on the corner continued to ring.

Through the large glass window, Lin Ye saw Aragaki Kaho's embarrassed escape, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This child is actually quite cute.

When the bell rang again, Lin Ye looked at the clock on the wall.

Ten twenty-nine.

It’s so late, and there are still people coming to drink.

Lin Ye was shocked when he saw the customer coming into the store.

It's those two men in black again.

They came to drink safely, but what about Kudo Shinichi?
Lin Ye remained calm and greeted the two as if they were ordinary guests:
"You two are here again, what would you like to drink today?"

Gin sat down at the bar, a cruel smile on his face, "I'd like a Requiem, will you do it?"

Looking at his expression, it seemed like he was ready to teach him if Lin Ye said he didn't know.

Lin Ye nodded, then asked Vodka: "Where is this guest?"

"Just a glass of water." Vodka said in a deep voice.

[I really want to drink, but I have to drive for my brother...]

[He even knows the recipe for Requiem. He is indeed an excellent bartender.]

The two people's thoughts reached Lin Ye's ears.

Lin Ye couldn't help but wonder, why did Gin order this glass of Requiem, could it be a hint? Could it be that the detective boy has already...

He sighed inwardly and could only hope that the person was okay.

First, he poured a glass of water for the vodka, and then Lin Ye began to prepare the wine and tools needed for the Requiem.

The liquors needed for Requiem include: gin, vermouth, Campari, cynar (an Italian bitter liquor), Fernet Branca (another Italian herbal liquor), and orange bitters.

Pour the wines into a mixing glass in a specific proportion and order, then stir with ice, and place ice cubes in the glass in advance.

Looking at Lin Ye concentrating on stirring the wine, Gin showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Yes, this is indeed a person who loves and understands wine, a real bartender, not a drink pourer who just gets paid to make a living in some bars.

Vodka held the water glass, staring at the wine that Lin Ye was stirring with wide eyes, and swallowed involuntarily.

With the aroma of wine in the air, he took a big sip of water, pretending that he was drinking delicious wine. [Even the eldest brother recognized his bartending skills. It seems that this kid's skills are really amazing. I really want to drink the drinks he mixes. But I have to drive...]

Vodka's resentment reached Lin Ye's ears. He smiled slightly, stopped stirring, took out the bar spoon, wiped it dry with a handkerchief, and put it aside.

Take the slightly frosted wine glass, remove the ice cubes, and pour out the melted water. Even a little water will change the flavor of the wine, so it must be poured out.

Then he filtered the wine in the mixing glass into the cup. His hands were as steady as a sculpture, and not a drop of wine leaked onto the bar.

Seeing him filtering the wine, Gin's appreciation became stronger and his cold look melted a little.

"Your Requiem." Lin Ye put the wine on the coaster and gently pushed it in front of Gin, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The walls of the cup were covered with frost and the wine was dark red, looking like cooled blood.

Gin picked up the wine glass, put it to his nose and smelled it, with the corners of his mouth raised in satisfaction.

Then slowly place the glass against your lips and take a sip.

The first taste is a complex, layered bitterness, accompanied by a deep aroma, which seems to lead him into a fascinating darkness.

The deep darkness is fascinating...

Gin narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

[It's really pleasant to drink a glass of wine after killing someone. It feels really good to hit that kid's head...]

Lin Ye's eyes were gloomy and he sighed in his heart.

Alas, was that detective kid really killed? Xiaolan would definitely be very sad if she heard the news.

But he didn't intend to tell Xiaolan about this.

He couldn't explain the source of the information, nor did he know where Kudo Shinichi's body was.

Most importantly, it would involve him in dangerous incidents.

The two people in front of us are definitely not ordinary criminals.

What is the purpose of this mysterious organization whose members use wine as their code name?

Gin sipped Requiem, and the more he looked at the bartender in front of him, the more satisfied he felt.

Not only does he have superb cocktail-mixing skills, but he also knows how to read people's expressions. He doesn't ask too many questions and just does his job well.

Such talents are really rare.

[Every time you kill someone, come sit here]

Even someone like him needs a place to rest his soul.

The corner of peace that he had been looking for for so long seemed to have finally appeared?
Such a small street bar just met his requirements.

It was quiet, uncrowded, and most importantly, the bartenders were great.

The bartender is the soul of a bar. Without an excellent bartender, no matter how gorgeous the bar’s decoration is or how expensive the drinks are, it will be in vain.

Hearing Gin's inner thoughts, Lin Ye smiled bitterly to himself. This criminal really thinks highly of me. I don't know whether this is fortunate or unfortunate.

Forget it, just pretend you didn’t hear it.

Lin Ye never thought of calling the police. Not to mention that his original body had a very bad impression of the police. Even if he really went to the police, he couldn't produce any evidence. Was he going to tell the police that he could hear other people's thoughts?

You will definitely be kicked out.

Moreover, if there are spies of this organization in the police station, he would not be able to call the police but would be killed instead.

He is a bartender, not a policeman or a detective, and criminals have their own righteous partners to deal with them.

He just wanted to be a bartender who brought a moment of happiness to his guests and absolutely did not want to get involved in such a complicated incident.

……

The dark Porsche 356A was driving on the street at night.

"Brother, since you admire that guy so much, why don't you recruit him as an outer member of the organization and let him collect intelligence for us?" suggested Vodka who was driving.

Gin took the cigarette out of his mouth, looked at the street scene outside the window, exhaled a cloud of mist, and his voice became ethereal.

"No, just let him be a regular bartender."
