Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

The fish-killing trick must be sealed from now on. In order to allow Kidd to return to his original trouble-making level.

Only in this way can we attract the attention of the Suzuki family and continue to establish a good strategic partnership with him.

After finalizing his decision, Lu Ren heard Xiao Hua shouting at the door, "Welcome Guang Hui? Xiao Ai?! New Year's Eve!"

Um? Lu Ren raised his head and found that Xiaohua was hugging Huiyuan and rubbing Huiyuan's face wildly.

Harmony and friendship are worthy of encouragement.

After rubbing it for a while, Xiaohua let go of her hand with satisfaction, "You are here to see Brother Ren, you go and sit there first. Sister will go and give you a red envelope."

After saying that, she rushed out of the cafe and went straight to the convenience store across the street.

Huiyuan sighed, walked over with a gloomy look, and sat opposite Lu Ren. "Why don't you think about writing in another cafe?"

"Hahaha." Lu Ren understood what Huiyuan meant, "Xiaohua just likes you too much."

"Why is this happening?" She was already trying very hard to maintain a poker face and was low-pressure.

This trick works well on other people, who will keep a safe distance from her.

But it has no effect at all on Shiina Flower.

This person doesn't care about the situation or people's faces at all, right?

"Because you are so cute. That child has no resistance to all cute people or things." Lu Ren returned casually while writing.

The scene just now gave him a sudden inspiration. Write it down quickly.

"You think so, too?"

"what?"

"Nothing." Haiyuan coughed, "Have you seen that thing? Kidd announced that he would steal the Dark Star again."

"Yes. Yuanzi just called me and told me about this. She asked me to go to the dinner party tomorrow night." Lu Ren did not look up.

oh? Before Haibara asked, Shiina Hana came over again and stuffed the red envelope into her hand.

Haiyuan had no choice but to stop talking for the time being. She thanked Shiina Hua seriously and ordered the same green tea as Lu Ren.

After watching Shiina Hana leave, she continued, "If I guessed correctly, based on Kidd's poor performance last time, Suzuki's parents should have completely ignored him."

"Ah."

"Then what are you going to do?" Haiyuan took a sip of the green tea that was just served and suddenly noticed that Lu Ren's forehead was a little red.

This was just after pressing the button, Haiyuan automatically made up the picture. Before she came, Lu Ren was on the phone while pressing his forehead with his knuckles.

A headache of a physical nature? Or are you still feeling embarrassed about Kidd?

"Let go. Let Kidd make a big fuss and let the Suzuki Zaibatsu see how powerful Kidd really is. Then I'll finish it off." Lu Rendao.

Pretty much what she thought.

Haiyuan continued to ask, "Two questions, are you sure Kidd is really that powerful? And, if he is really powerful, are you sure you can catch him?"

"Kidd is great. There's no doubt about that. As for the second point, I can only go and see it later." Lu Ren put down his pen and took out his phone, "So I'm going to find a few more helpers."

The black chicken is still in Tokyo.

It would be a waste if we don’t use this great free labor.

Chapter 171 How can I bear this?

After Lu Ren made the call, Huiyuan put down his cup and said, "It's really a good choice to let them help. Then how to calculate the reward afterwards?"

Huiyuan knew that Lu Ren's commission fee was 10 million each time.

"What's the reward? Asking them to come here must be voluntary labor. Oh, I don't think I told you."

Lu Ren then remembered that Huiyuan didn't know much about the detective industry. I happen to have some free time now, so let’s talk to Haiyuan in detail.

"That's right. There are two types of detectives.

One is a professional detective, where commission fees are the main source of income, and he relies on this to support his family. Brother Maori can barely count.

One type is the detective who is motivated by interest. This type of person does not care about money and just solves cases for the sake of solving them. Hattori, Kudo and similar high school detectives are like this. They solve crimes without charging any commission fees. "

"You don't make any money at all?" Huiyuan has studied in the United States since she was a child and is well versed in the American spirit. Although she has not been brainwashed, she directly believes that money comes first. But money is always very important.

And according to Riku Ren, high school detectives like Edogawa and Hattori don't charge money at all.

This is a bit too selfless.

With such a group of detectives volunteering to help for free, one can imagine how much impact it will have on the detective industry.

"Well, it's not profitable at all." Lu Ren said.

"Then they are squeezing the living space of professional detectives."

"Anyway, before Kudo disappeared, Brother Maori basically never received any commissions, and all his daily expenses depended on rent collection. This is good and bad."

Lu Ren looked at the time and saw that it was still early before Conan and the others came over, so he continued confidently, "The good thing is that with such a group of people here, the common people have a good experience. Kudo Hattori helps for free, but you need to make an appointment in advance. Don't be in a hurry, just spend more. Time, wait until they are free. If you are in a hurry, go find a professional detective, because with Kudo and the others, the fees for professional detectives are not very high."

"Well, not bad." Haiyuan and Xiaohua affirmed together.

This kind of chat involves personal subjective opinions. Lu Ren invited Xiaohua over in advance and asked her to listen together. There were no customers in the store anyway.

"As for the bad thing, the detective has too much say." Lu Ren thought of the Lavender Villa murder case and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "The news media has given too much positive publicity to the detective. Let this book wander in the world. A career with a gray edge has gained an undeserved reputation.

This causes people to trust detectives too much. In some places, detectives can speak better than the police. If a detective says a man is guilty, he is guilty.

The police arrested the 'prisoner' and put him in jail based on the detective's words without conducting a strict and detailed investigation. This is a very dangerous thing.

Hattori Kudo is very capable and has not failed yet. But not every detective is as strong as them.

Some third-rate detectives use their first-rate acting skills to create upper-class characters and engage in extremely despicable deeds.

They let the real murderers go free and put innocent people in jail.

Some are due to limited abilities, while others are purely intentional.

They enjoy the pleasure brought by the huge power of deciding life and death. They sent all the innocent people to jail, and the unknowing people were still thanking them profusely. Enjoying the pleasure of "everyone is drunk and I am alone awake". "

"Is there really such a bad person?" After hearing what Lu Ren said, Shiina Hua was so frightened that she hugged Haiyuan beside her.

"Yeah. Although it's a pity, this kind of garbage does exist in the detective industry." Lu Ren looked at Shiina Hana, "Xiaohua, remember one sentence - listen attentively to small sounds; listen to loud sounds. , remain skeptical.”

The latter nodded repeatedly.

Haibara, who was hugged by Shiina Hana, didn't feel anything about it.

It's not that she doesn't believe what Lu Ren said, but there are a lot of bad people of this level in the organization.

Haiyuan is used to this.

However, Lu Ren's words were not useless to her.

Ever since he knew that his sister was really alive and that Lu Ren had not lied to her, Haiyuan had been collecting relevant information about Lu Ren.

One of the best collected is the information about the Pen of God.

The doctor has the habit of subscribing to newspapers and never throws them away in every issue.

After obtaining the doctor's consent, Haiyuan found the Dongbao newspaper, flipped through it one by one, cut out the articles written by Lu Ren, and organized them all into a plastic folder.

Take a look when you have time to see what Lu Ren wrote.

After carefully reading more than 40 articles written by Lu Ren in the past two years, Huiyuan had a general impression of him.

His articles are sharply worded and highly offensive, and almost every article is offensive.

I don’t know why I’ve changed my style recently, and it’s a little more reserved than before.

But the changes are relatively limited, and it is still the pen of the ruthless, profit-seeking, and arrogant God.

But after hearing what Lu Ren said just now, Huiyuan changed his view.

She suddenly realized that there was a very crucial point that she had overlooked before.

Although it is said that Lu Ren basically collects money for every manuscript he writes, and is only interested in profit.

But there are exceptions, that is, Lu Ren also writes dark manuscripts about detectives.

Today's mainstream voices are full of praise, but Lu Ren goes against the grain and insists on regular dark detective work.

This is not in the public interest at all, nor is it in line with his profit-seeking personality.

Since every manuscript written by Lu Ren was a black manuscript, Hui Yuan had not thought of this before.

Now after listening to Lu Ren's story, she realized something was wrong and understood his true intention.

After thinking about this, Haiyuan couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the opposite side. Now she felt more and more that the person in front of her was really complicated.

The bad ones are not complete, and the good ones are not complete either.

Still, okay.

A quarter of an hour later, Hattori Conan took the bus and arrived at the Rice Krispies Cafe.

After greeting Riku Ren Haibara and ordering a cup of coffee each, Hattori went straight to the point and asked Riku Ren why he called them over.

"Tomorrow night, come with me to the cruise ship dinner to catch Kaitou Kidd."

Lu Ren briefly introduced what happened previously and Kidd himself.

Hattori frowned, "Catch the thief? Do you need us? This is not a matter of Search Section 3."

"It's Search Section 2. Kidd is an intelligent criminal." Conan corrected from the side.

"Isn't that a bit too fussy?"

"Kidd is a very powerful person. I didn't catch him last time. And he left an extremely provocative sentence." Lu Ren changed his tone to a frivolous one, "The Phantom Thief uses gorgeous techniques to steal treasures and is very creative. An artist. The detective is just a critic following the Phantom Thief."

what? !

After hearing these provocative words, Hattori's anger was instantly aroused. He changed his mind and decided to join the gang.

Conan on the side looked a little strange.

He was also present on April Fool's Day.

He didn't hear Kidd say that. This is completely made up by Lu Ren.

Forget it, Xiaolan was invited by Yuanzi to go on the cruise anyway.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to ask Hattori to go with him.

Although Kaitou Kidd is too timid, he immediately ran away when he saw someone ambushing him.

But one thing must be admitted, Kidd's escape skills are indeed strong.

With Hattori here, it would be nice to have an extra layer of insurance.

The Lavender Villa Murder Case is a case that did not officially appear in the original work. Belongs to the background board. It was also the motive for Koshimi Nanatsuki's murder.

A detective identified Koshimizu Nanatsuki's friend as the murderer. Koshimizu's friend chose to commit suicide in order to prove his innocence. But afterwards he was still accused of committing suicide out of fear of crime.

Chapter 172 Kudo’s face

After confirming their attendance at tomorrow's dinner party and making an appointment to meet at a time, the two famous detectives, one large and one small, stood up and left.

They will continue to visit Tokyo next.

It was obvious that neither of them cared about catching Kidd.

Haiyuan stared at the direction the two left for a while, not knowing what he was planning.

But Lu Ren didn't care about this.

Because frankly speaking, he did not invite Hattori on board because of his ability.

It is true that Hattori's personal ability is indeed good, which is part of the reason.

But the main reason is still because of Hattori's face.
