Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 14 Conan, Call Uncle
After Gin and Vodka left, no more customers came into the store.

As soon as it was past 12 o'clock, Lin Ye began to pack up the shop and prepare to close.

As soon as it's two o'clock, I get off work on time.

After turning off the lights and locking the door, Lin Ye walked out of the bar.

His apartment was nearby, about fifteen minutes' walk away.

Standing on the side of the road, Lin Ye looked back at the Maori Detective Agency on the second floor. The lights on the second and third floors were off.

Lin Ye stared at the window on the third floor, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

Sorry, Xiaolan, Kudo Shinichi has already... Alas.

How could such a good pair of childhood sweethearts suddenly be separated by the Yin and Yang? Thinking of the two people's laughter during the day, Lin Ye's mood became heavier.

Just as I was about to leave, a taxi stopped by the roadside.

Seeing the Maori father and daughter getting out of the car, as well as the little boy next to Xiaolan, Lin Ye showed a surprised expression.

Why did they come back so late? And who is this boy in a little suit?

"Uncle Maori, Xiaolan, where were you going in the middle of the night?" Lin Ye suddenly thought of a possibility and asked in a heavy tone, "Did you go to look for Kudo Shinichi?"

Maori Kogoro laughed and said, "Who would go to find that brat? I was going to complete a client's request, but these two guys insisted on coming with me."

"Oh, a commission?" Lin Ye was a little surprised. Uncle Maori's firm actually received a commission. This was really a rare thing.

In the one-month memory left by the original body, Uncle Maori either drank or watched TV all day, and went out to play mahjong at night. There were no commissions coming to his door at all.

"Yes, the client is a big boss. Now I can live freely for a while. Haha, just wait for me to consume in your store. I will definitely give you a tip." Maori Kogoro raised his eyebrows at Lin Ye and said proudly.

"It looks like Mr. Maori has successfully completed this commission. Congratulations."

For a detective, meeting a wealthy employer is naturally a happy thing. Perhaps the money earned from a single commission is enough to support one's meals for several months.

"Of course, with me, Kogoro Mori, taking action, things will be easily settled. Hahaha!" Kogoro Mori laughed out loud.

The firm had no business for a long time, but now it finally got a commission, and it was from a rich man. Naturally, he was very excited, and even agreed to let Xiaolan let the little brat stay at her house. This little brat might be a lucky star.

[It's obviously my effort, you stupid old man]

Lin Ye looked at the little boy in a suit next to Xiaolan in surprise. An expression of contempt and helplessness appeared on the boy's face.

"Xiaolan, who is this child?"

"His name is Conan, and he is a child of Dr. Agasa's relative. His parents were in a car accident and were hospitalized, so Dr. Agasa asked me to take him in. Isn't this child cute?"

Xiaolan looked at Conan with eyes full of love, while the latter had a helpless expression on his face.

Lin Ye felt that there was something strange about this child and couldn't help but look at him twice more.

Xiaolan thought Lin Ye thought Conan was cute, so she patted Conan on the back and said, "Conan, this is Mr. Lin Ye. Come and say hello to your uncle."

Conan curled his lips and called out, "Hello, uncle."

[Haha, now that we meet again, I actually have to call this guy uncle]

Lin Ye stared at Conan in surprise, trying to recall where he had seen this child.

I have no recollection of this. Could it have happened a month ago?

And the name Conan...ah, another familiar name that I can't remember, this feeling is so annoying.

[Haha, I, the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, turned into a little devil. This world is too crazy]

What? Kudo Shinichi!

Lin Ye's pupils shrank.

Wasn't he killed by Gin? But this kid in front of him claimed to be Kudo Shinichi... What's going on?

[From now on, I will live in Uncle Maori's detective agency. I must find out the truth about the two men in black. There must be a huge criminal group behind them. Just wait and see, men in black! ]

There was something even more wrong with the look Lin Ye gave Conan.

If this kid with a bandage on his head is really Kudo Shinichi, then he is really stubborn. Even after becoming like this, he still wants to investigate those two people.

Yes, bandages!
Gin "said" while drinking in the store that the boy's head felt good to hit, and this kid happened to have a wound on his head. Could he really be Kudo Shinichi?

"What's wrong, uncle? Is there something on my face?" Conan noticed that Lin Ye had been observing him and asked in a baby voice. Lin Ye quickly regained his composure, his eyes returned to normal, and he smiled slightly: "Nothing, I just think you are cute."

"Ha, ha, thank you, uncle."

[That’s enough. I don’t want to be called “cute” anymore]

Lin Ye looked at Conan deeply, said goodbye to Maori and his daughter, and prepared to go home.

"Xiaolan, don't worry too much about Kudo Shinichi. He will definitely come back." Lin Ye said before leaving.

He's back, Lin Ye glanced at Conan and thought.

Although he didn't know how he turned into a child, Lin Ye was sure that this was Kudo Shinichi. After all, no one would lie in their own heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin Ye." When Xiaolan mentioned Shinichi, she felt a little melancholy. Where did that guy go?

"I think the guy will probably never come back. Don't worry about him, Xiaolan. All detectives are bad." said Kogoro Mouri.

"Dad, aren't you a detective too?" Xiaolan said helplessly.

[Haha, the uncle even scolded himself in order to insult me] - Conan
Lin Ye was suddenly stunned, then stared at Uncle Maori thoughtfully.

At that moment, he "saw" a woman in Uncle Maori's heart, a beautiful and intellectual woman with long brown curly hair and wearing glasses.

Is she Xiaolan's mother?
The woman's eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Xiaolan's, so Lin Ye guessed that she was Xiaolan's mother.

It seems that even a seemingly heartless uncle has hidden worries in his heart.

"Goodbye, everyone. I wish you a sweet dream." Lin Ye prepared to leave.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lin Ye." Xiaolan responded politely.

After watching Lin Ye leave, Xiaolan took Conan's hand and walked towards the stairs to the second floor:
"Okay, Conan, let's go home too. This will be your new home from now on, and we have to get along well."

"Okay, Sister Xiaolan."

Before going upstairs, Conan turned his head and looked at Lin Ye's back at the end of the street.

That guy looked at me so strangely, did he discover something? Impossible, this was the first time I met him after I became small.

He probably thought it was weird to have a bandage on his head, right?

Hiss, my head still hurts a little. That bastard was so cruel. I guess I need to rest for a few days.

……

A civilian apartment.

After climbing the last step, Lin Ye's breathing became rapid and his knees became weak.

"Huh, this guy's health is really bad. He became like this after climbing only five floors." Lin Ye panted, thinking helplessly.

This is no wonder. He gets off work at two in the morning every day, smokes, drinks, and watches porn movies when he gets home. In addition, the original body seems to be under a lot of mental pressure. Under such circumstances, it would be strange for the body to be in good health.

So Lin Ye decided to improve the physical condition of this body and instead of taking the elevator to go upstairs, he chose to walk up the stairs.

I didn't expect that I would be so tired after just climbing the fifth floor.

This further strengthened his determination to improve his physical condition, otherwise it would be funny if he suddenly died one day.

Although I can't quit my job as a bartender and there's no way to change the fact that I have to get off work at 2 a.m., I can start from other aspects.

Quit smoking, drinking and sex, pay attention to diet and nutrition, and do proper physical exercise. If you persist for a period of time, your body should improve.

Lin Ye was thinking about the body transformation plan in his mind. When he came to his senses, he had walked to the door of his room, took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.

The living room is not big, but it is fairly tidy and filled with a smell of cigarette smoke.

This is what it looked like after Lin Ye cleaned up. When he just woke up, this place was like hell, with mountains of garbage and paper balls, which almost made him die again on the spot.

After cleaning, all the garbage was removed, but the smell of smoke that had been lingering for a long time was difficult to remove.

Back in the bedroom, lying on the bed, Lin Ye slowly closed his eyes.

Let's go for a run tomorrow morning. Well, then go to the green plant market and buy some green plants to put at home to get rid of the smoke smell...
