Lu Ren affirmed that this movie feels a bit like O. Henry's novel, and the ending is unexpected and reasonable.
"That's right." Lan thought for a while and added, "This movie seems to be adapted from the novel of the same name. I have seen this book on the bookshelf of Xinjia."
"Kudo, does he like reading books?"
"Yeah." Lan nodded, "Especially mystery novels. Once you read them, you'll even forget to eat. And he has to buy several of the same books every time. Cleaning is very laborious every time."
"Cleaning?" He Ye tried to capture the key words.
"Yes. Shinichi's parents have lived abroad for a long time. He himself is too busy to go home. I have been cleaning regularly."
"So you have the key to his door."
"It's okay." Lan avoided He Ye's envious gaze. She turned to look at the tightly closed window, feeling that the room was a little hot.
Fortunately, Kazuye did not delve further into this topic. She rested her chin and said thoughtfully: "Heiji is just the opposite. He doesn't like to read mystery novels. One time he came back from a group trip and told me, Charlotte Sherlock Holmes is obviously just a fictional character, but it is simply unreasonable that someone would worship him so much."
Lu Ren lay on his side on the floor, glanced at the closed door of Brother Maori's room, and thought that Conan Hattori was not here. Otherwise, these two would probably be at each other's throats by now.
Lan Huai had the same idea as him and whispered, "You can't let Conan hear this. Like Shinichi, he likes Sherlock Holmes the most."
"So, why do they have such a good relationship?"
Lan was unsure: "Maybe they can chat better on other topics."
"Probably." Kazuye seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Lu Ren, "Mr. Lu Ren, I feel that the case in this movie is somewhat similar to the arson case that Heiji talked about last night."
The murderer in the ABC Murders murders people with the same initials in name and location one after another in ABC order. For example, Aunt A at location A, Miss B at location B, and old man C at location C.
Arson cases are in 1st-chome, 2nd-chome, 3rd-chome...
"Committing crimes in a certain order. I just happened to think of this work. Because it is relatively famous. However, there are actually quite a few similar cases. We encountered one some time ago."
"That poker case?" As soon as Lu Ren mentioned it, Lan quickly thought of it.
"what? What?"
"It's like this..." Lan thought up some words and slowly told He Ye.
Lu Ren shook the bottle. There was not much left in it. He couldn't bear to drink it in one gulp, so he poured it out and began to taste it slowly.
It is worth mentioning that Brother Maori said he would consider it, but he has not come back since he went out, and looking at his attitude, it is very likely that he will not come back at noon. Conan Hattori still stayed in the bedroom.
Just another ten minutes passed, and Lu Ren's wine glass was completely empty. He turned to look over and found that Lan was still telling Kazuye a story. But thinking about it, that's right. After all, they experienced three theatrical versions at the same time, and they really couldn't finish it in a short while.
Lu Ren looked at the time again. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was almost time to have lunch. He waited for Lan and the two to finish chatting, and then said: "Let's go out to eat at noon today. There is a new Japanese restaurant in Tokyo that is pretty good."
Heye looked out the window, "Is it far? It's still raining outside."
Lu Ren: "It's not very close. Let's drive there."
"Huh?" He Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said, "But we don't have driver's licenses."
"Oh, right." Lu Ren snapped, "I forgot, you are still underage and can't get your driver's license. Then let's take a taxi there. Lan, do you think so?"
"I don't have a problem with it. I'll call dad and ask him where he is."
With that said, Mao Lilan took out his mobile phone.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered.
"Hey, dad...oh, okay." After the other end hung up, Lan put down the phone, "My dad said he was busy, so he didn't need to eat."
As he said that, Lan looked a little confused, "I feel like my dad's tone is a bit unnatural, and he speaks quickly and hangs up quickly. Have you received another commission to investigate an affair?"
"Investigating an affair on a rainy day?" He Ye didn't care. "Maybe uncle is playing marbles."
"He would tell me directly if he was playing those games, and it was very quiet on the other end of the phone." Lan shook her head, "Forget it, I'll ask him when he comes back."
"Yeah." Lu Ren somewhat guessed what Maoli was doing now, but he couldn't say it clearly, which made Lan Kong happy. "Then you go and call those two people out of the bedroom. I'll call Xiao Ai."
He took out his cell phone and dialed Haiyuan, and the call was quickly connected.
"Are you up?"
"Hmm. What's wrong?"
"Would you like to have a meal together at noon? The Japanese restaurant Bei Dao took me to yesterday was quite good."
"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then he continued: "It's just the two of us?"
"No. Conan Ran and the pair from Osaka. Last time we went to Osaka, Hattori took us to eat a lot of delicious food. We should reciprocate."
"Okay." Haiyuan replied quickly this time, "Where are you? I'll go over now."
"No, just wait for me at home. I'll pick you up in a minute."
"it is good."
When the call was hung up, Lu Ren put away the phone and looked at He Ye, whose face was red. "that……"
"We are not a couple! We are just childhood sweethearts!"
Tsundere has already withdrawn from the environment. Nowadays, it is fashionable to confess your love when you first meet, and then be shy after confessing your love.
Because the pressure of life caused by various factors such as the economic situation has gradually increased, people no longer have the patience or energy to have a love that is chasing after each other, hard work, and constant grinding.
No, what are you talking about? Lu Ren shook his head, thinking that he might have drunk too much.
He said directly: "Can we go camping together tomorrow?"
"Eh? Is that okay?"
"As long as you want."
Kazuha: "I have no problem. It's just that we don't have enough time? Heiji is still catching the arsonist, and we have to go back to Osaka the day after tomorrow."
"Don't worry about that." Lu Ren waved.
"Okay, I agree for Heiji."
"Ok."
At the same time, at the doctor's house not far away, Huiyuan, who had put away his mobile phone, knocked on the basement door.
"Xiao Ai, wait for me, I'll be fine soon."
"Yeah." Haiyuan took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and silently recited five numbers in his mind.
five four three two one.
Boom!
Then, the doctor, wearing an afro and covered in smoke, walked out of the room, "Ahem, cough, failed again."
"It's normal." Xiao Haibara pricked the doctor's heart and continued, "I'm going out to eat at noon today. There is curry stewed for you in the kitchen. Remember to eat it when the time comes."
"no problem."
"By the way, doctor, is there any decent hotel in Tokyo? Don't want one that's particularly expensive."
"Well..." The doctor pondered for a long time, and then his eyes lit up. He made a fist with one hand, hammered it on the palm of the other hand, and said loudly: "There is a good hamburger near the aquarium!"
"..." Haiyuan covered his face.
She was wrong. This kind of question should not be asked to the doctor.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 351 Sun Shiwan and Boss Cao
When Lu Ren and his party came out of the Japanese food store, the sky had cleared. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. After some discussion, they decided to walk back slowly.
One is to accompany the Osaka couple to stroll around Tokyo, and the other is to let Lu Ren sober up.
When he was at Maori's house, Lu Ren drank two bottles of sake by himself. When he came to this Japanese restaurant, he drank two bottles by himself. One bottle per pound.
Although Lu Ren said that he was not drunk, he also showed everyone walking in a straight line. But his appearance, smelling of alcohol, was really unconvincing. Moreover, this act of taking the initiative to perform for everyone was very different from his usual performance. Lu Ren is not usually so lively.
Several people were walking on the road, Lu Ren was in the C position, and Conan Heiji was guarding him from left to right.
Hui Principle was a step or two behind Lu Ren, holding her and Lu Ren's mobile phones in her hands, thinking that if there was a next time, she should bring a camera or video camera. The clarity of the photos taken with the mobile phone is still a bit poor.
The group of people walked all the way to the Mihua Department Store. Lu Ren took the lead and took them to the place where they bought camping equipment yesterday.
Regarding camping together tomorrow, Hattori agreed without hesitation. The premise is to catch the arsonist today.
But Hattori didn't pay much attention to this premise. It's not because I believe in Lu Ren, but because I believe in myself.
Since both Hattori and Ye were going, Ran, who had not planned to go, naturally changed her mind and planned to play together, which meant that they needed to purchase more equipment.
As soon as he entered the door, the owner of the store greeted him with a smile on his face, obviously recognizing Lu Ren, a major customer who had just visited yesterday.
Lu Ren patted him on the shoulder and exchanged some pleasantries, then went straight to the topic, "I'm going to buy some more equipment today. Buy a tent, and then..."
Lan had sleeping bags and other small items at home, but lacked a tent. There are more things to buy in Black Chicken and Leaf.
Lu Ren turned back and looked at them, confirming for the last time, "Are you sure you want to live separately? It's hard to set up too many tents, so I'd say rent one. There's enough space inside, just buy two sleeping bags. .”
The doctor's children lived in one big tent together, and there were four of them and three small tents.
This store also provides tent rental services. In addition to the rental fee, you only need to pay an additional deposit. At the same time, members of this store are free of deposit and will receive discounts on renting various equipment.
And Lu Ren, who just made a purchase yesterday, automatically became a member of this store.
The shop owner didn't interrupt, he just waited with a smile. He was so sophisticated that he could tell at a glance what the situation of the couple in front of him was, and it was not something Lu Ren could do with just one sentence. Just wait.
Sure enough, Hei Ji and Ye both said in unison: "I don't want to live in the same tent with him (her)."
Lu Ren noticed with sharp eyes that He Ye was blushing to the tips of his ears. As for the black chicken...
Well, it's just too dark. You can't tell if you are blushing at all.
"You're shy, young people are thin-skinned." Lu Ren turned around and said to the boss.
The boss still smiled and said nothing.
"Then rent two tents, the styles are the same as yesterday. You can choose the rest by yourself." Lu Ren turned sideways and let the two of them pass.
The shop owner also walked over. After briefly talking to them and being politely rejected, he returned to Lu Ren and handed Lu Ren a box of cigarettes and a lighter.
"Quit." Lu Ren took it away and took out two orange fructose candies from his arms, one for himself and one for Huiyuan.
While waiting, Lu Ren continued: "Sleeping in a tent together is nothing. Conan, don't you think so?"
Conan, who was quietly watching the show, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this. He thought for a while and said vaguely: "You still have to pay attention, after all, there are differences between men and women."
"Men - women - there are - differences." Lu Ren dragged out the word for a long time, and then he looked at Mao Lilan, "You heard it too, Lan. Since Conan already knows what the difference between men and women is. From now on. Don’t drag him with you when you take a shower.”
Mao Lilan was thoughtful.
Conan's face turned pale.
The black chicken not far away had the biggest reaction. He came over with a roar, "Let's take a shower together?! Worker...Conan you!"
"Heiji, you are going to die. You scared me. What does it matter if we take a bath together? Conan is just a child."
Mao Lilan said nothing, still thoughtful.
Conan's face became paler, as if he had seen his death omen in the dark.
Lu Ren half-bent down and whispered in Huiyuan's ear: "So black people can blush too."
"You're rude. Please stay away from me." Haiyuan stretched out his hand to push Lu Ren, "You smell of alcohol."
Lu Ren followed his example and stood far away, "But if there are so many people, one car will definitely not work. So we still have to let the doctor drive the Beetle."
You don't have to run that far. Haiyuan took two steps towards Lu Ren and said, "I've already told the doctor."
"Okk." Lu Ren gestured and held his chin with his hand, "Then we will buy some food. I remember that I and Ye originally planned to go shopping with Lan this afternoon and cook a big meal in the evening. I guess we can't take that much. There’s a lot of stuff, so I’d better go back and drive the car first.”
Haiyuan said calmly: "Drunk driving is illegal."
"It's okay. I'll call a designated driver." Lu Ren took out his cell phone and called Shimabukuro Kimie.
The call was quickly connected. "Are you still in the cafe? Then change your clothes and go to Maori's office to wait for me. I've been drinking and need a driver. Do you have a driver's license? Okay, as soon as possible."
After finding a driver, Lu Ren walked to the boss and said, "I'll come over and get the things in a minute. I didn't drive today."
The boss smiled and said: "You are free to do as you like. If you are not in a hurry, you can leave an address and I will drive to you in the evening."
"Okay. Then at eight o'clock in the evening, you can go to the Maori Detective Agency."
