Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 204: The Unreachable Future

Walking into the narrow door, there were not many customers in the store and relaxing music was playing.

The lighting is bright but not glaring, and the decor feels very stylish and upscale.

This is the Emerald Bar, located on the second floor of the Princess Hotel.

Lin Ye sat down at the bar. The slightly plump, round-faced bartender immediately asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Lin Ye did not immediately say what he wanted to drink, but asked:

“Why is this place called Emerald?”

The fat bartender smiled and said, "It comes from the name of a drink, the Emerald Manhattan."

Lin Ye nodded: "Two cups."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The fat bartender began to prepare the wine and utensils. Lin Ye observed his movements as if he was enjoying some kind of performance.

Before the bartender served the drinks, someone sat down next to him.

He knew who it was without looking back, so he kept his eyes on the bartender's movements.

This colleague's movements were very skillful and confident, and he seemed to be very experienced.

Being able to work in the bar of such a high-end hotel, the technical level must be good.

"How did you find out?"

A woman's cold voice came from the seat next to her.

Lin Ye still didn't turn around, and asked calmly: "Miss Mingzi and Mr. Jiang Yuan have a grudge?"

[What? How did he know... Did he secretly investigate me? ]

Lin Ye was still staring at the bartender's hands, but he could imagine Sayama Akiko's surprised expression at this moment.

Akiko Sayama did not answer his question. In the silence, the fat bartender pushed two finished glasses of wine in front of the two of them.

"Emerald Manhattan, please."

Lin Ye picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

It is based on Irish whiskey, with mint liqueur and bitters added to give it a unique taste.

Akiko Sayama still sat uneasily in her chair, without touching her wine glass.

"Ms. Mingzi, don't you want to drink?" Lin Ye asked in a relaxed tone, as if chatting with an old friend.

Akiko Sayama looked at him, took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and put it down.

"Have you investigated me?"

Lin Ye raised his glass and stared at the wine in it.

"Ms. Akiko, you are going to marry Mr. Maeda soon, right?"

"Yes." The jumping topic made Akiko Sayama a little confused.

"Do you love Mr. Maeda?"

"If I didn't love him, I wouldn't be engaged to him."

"Then why did you ask another man into the room?"

"I……"

[I want to kill him to avenge my brother]

It turned out to be revenge for his brother.

After some indirect attempts and with the help of Sayama Akiko's thoughts, Lin Ye finally figured out the whole story.

It turns out that Jiang Yuan was a computer hacker. Three years ago, he cracked the software developed by Sayama's brother's company, causing Sayama's brother to jump off the building and commit suicide.

This time, Akiko Sayama used the legendary computer virus as bait to lure Jiang Yuan here in order to kill him and avenge her brother.

If he had not interfered, Jiang Yuan would have been stabbed into the bronze statue in the open-air restaurant on the third floor.

Although what Mr. Jiang Yuan did was indeed unethical, the crime he committed was only an economic crime.

It cannot be said that the death of Brother Sayama had nothing to do with him, but in the end it was Brother Sayama himself who decided to give up his own life.

What Sayama Akiko did was real murder.

The relationship between the siblings must be very good as they are willing to avenge their brother even at the risk of their own lives and happiness.

Lin Ye could understand Sayama Akiko's motives, but he could not agree with them.

"Miss Mingzi." Lin Ye suddenly called.

"what?"

"I should be considered the winner of this mysterious journey." "You guessed my identity. According to the rules of the event, you are the winner."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll take care of the remaining half of the accommodation fee."

According to the rules of the event, the accommodation fees for the ten people participating in the event were only half paid in advance, and only those who found out the true identity of the Dark Night Baron could stay there completely for free.

"Yes, I will pay for it."

"Also, I hope you can think more about your future life with Mr. Maeda, and not dwell on the hatred of the past. I miss your brother, and I hope you can live a good life."

"..."

Akiko Sayama was silent for a while, then stood up and left quietly.

Lin Ye knew that his words would not make her let go of her hatred easily, but she probably would not do anything stupid again.

Let her husband let her let go of her hatred.

Soon, her husband sat in the seat next to her.

Lin Ye noticed it when Maeda Satoshi entered the store.

Akiko Sayama was in a state of anxiety and did not notice Satoshi Maeda sitting in the corner when she left.

"What did Mr. Lin and Akiko talk about?" Maeda Satoshi asked in a deep voice.

Lin Ye turned his head to look at him, only to see that Maeda Satoshi had a serious face with suspicion and hostility flashing in his eyes.

It's no wonder. Anyone who sees his fiancée drinking with a man he just met in a bar would not look very happy.

Lin Ye smiled and asked, "Didn't Mr. Maeda and Xiaolan go to the rooftop observatory to watch the stars?"

Maeda Satoshi's expression was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Ahem, in my eyes, Xiaolan is just a little sister, and Conan is here..."

When he thought of Conan's expression when he looked at him, Maeda Satoshi couldn't help but feel that children nowadays are becoming more and more precocious.

"Ms. Sayama and I were just chatting casually."

"..."

Maeda Satoshi didn't sit there for long before he left with a concerned look on his face. He had a lot of questions to ask his fiancée.

Lin Ye did not feel lonely for too long. Soon another strong man came to accompany him, and he was younger than Maeda Satoshi.

"I want a glass of orange juice."

Kyogoku Makoto sat up straight in the seat to Lin Ye’s left and ordered a glass of juice.

[This guy has a girl as outstanding as Miss Sonoko by his side, why would he date someone else's fiancée? ]

Ah Zhen's voice didn't sound very friendly.

Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh.

This guy is so cute.

Just as he observed Kyogoku Makoto out of the corner of his eye, this scene suddenly appeared in his mind -

A couple in strange clothes put a baby into a circular aircraft. The aircraft took off and rushed into the universe under the reluctant eyes of the couple.

Hey, what is this?
Then the screen changed.

The spacecraft landed on the blue planet and the baby was picked up by a young couple.

The baby grew up and became Kyogoku Makoto.

Kyogoku Makoto, wearing a white martial arts uniform, was kicking a marble pillar that was so big that two people could hug it, barefoot.

The innocent marble column could not bear the humiliation and broke on the spot.

Lin Ye almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

The picture changes again.

Not the present Kyogoku Makoto, but the future Kyogoku Makoto, who looks more mature, probably ten years older than he is now.

The adult Kyogoku Makoto, still wearing a white martial arts uniform but looking more like a master, is confronting an unknown white creature.

The creature was about 1.5 meters tall, had a long tail, and a small face that looked very evil.

"You are pretty good, come and be my subordinate, hehe."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

This time Lin Ye was really choked and started coughing.

Hey, what is this unfolding?
The world of science cannot reach the timeline ten years later, so this scene is impossible to appear
