Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

They walked quietly for three to five minutes when they saw a white car parked under a tree, with a tall woman standing beside the car.

Gray folding hat + ear-length blond hair.

The moment he saw her, Shiina Hana instantly realized that they had come to the right place, and this was the person they were looking for. Too excited to speak or show it, Shiina Hua reached out and pinched Lu Ren's arm.

Lu Ren didn't act too aggressively. With the script in hand, he just glanced at Kinoshita, then slowly walked past her with Shiina Hana and walked deeper into the woods. Like an inconspicuous wisp of wind, neither the driver in the car nor she outside the car noticed the two of them.

Starting from Kinoshita's location, the two of them hid behind the third ginkgo tree, about ten meters away from Kinoshita.

"Brother Ren, you have a good figure and your arms are so strong, they are so hard that you can't even squeeze them."

"What idiot are you talking about?"

Shiina Hana laughed twice, not ashamed at all. She carefully poked half of her head out from behind the tree, glanced at Kinoshita, then quickly retracted her head and exclaimed in a low voice: "She looks so young, she really is..."

"Fifty, forty-nine to be exact. She does look very young." Lu Ren paused for a moment and added, "Maybe it's because she has never been married."

"Huh? How do you know?"

"I checked it online. She is the founder of the Fusha Hui brand." Lu Ren said casually. "As for the man sitting in the car, he is an employee of her company."

"Huh? There's someone else in the car?"

Lu Ren couldn't help but raise his forehead, "You have observed something."

The two were silent for a while, and Lu Ren continued: "Aren't you curious why not getting married makes people younger?"

"Oh why?"

"... To be precise, not having children may make women look younger. I don't know if there is any scientific basis for this. Personally, I feel that because you don't have to worry about taking care of children and your mind is not tired, aging will be slowed down. And If you don’t have children, your figure won’t be out of shape and you will look younger.”

Lu Ren gave an example, "My junior high school female chemistry teacher, her husband and her wife are from the DINK family. She looks very young, and she doesn't look like someone in their forties or fifties at all."

"Like this." Shiina Hana said thoughtfully, "Then I won't have children in the future."

"You can talk about this later." Lu Ren sighed, "I have something else to add. My chemistry teacher has a very bad temper and often scolds people for trivial matters.

After scolding us once, she closed the door and said calmly, "I am actually very jealous of you. I get angry when I see you. Because I don't have children myself. Sometimes I think, if I had children, they would be as old as you now."

I was sitting in the front row and could clearly see her eyes were red when she finished saying this. Maybe she already regretted it. It’s just that time cannot be turned back. "

"Then I'd better have a baby."

"No, what I say to you is, 'I hope you will be more careful when making decisions.' Life is decided by yourself. Whether you get married and have children in the future, bring new life into this world. On. Or be a person who is infertile or even unmarriageable. The former is great, and the latter is blameless. Because that is your own life, a decision you made after careful and long-term thinking. The continuation of life is a The instinct of the group. If you go against your own instinct, then you must have something more important to do. I believe you."

"It's such a heavy topic." The leaves of Shiina Flower were wilted, and she drooped her head. "Let's talk about it in ten years. Let me worry about it then."

"Ah."

Three to five minutes later, Shiina Hana was resurrected with full health. "By the way, Brother Ren, you didn't say you wanted me to help you as a consultant. What is a consultant?"

"That's right." When it came to business, Lu Ren slowed down, "I'm wondering whether to get involved in this matter. Let them really be together."

Lu Ren, who is familiar with the script, knows that the two people in the original work finally chose to say goodbye, and the goodbye may be in the next ten years.

That scene was very romantic and heartwarming, but Lu Ren always felt a little pity.

Kinoshita has been waiting for the doctor for forty years, and there are still several more decades in a person's life to waste.

Shiina Hana then asked: "If you intervene, what are you going to do?"

"What I originally thought was to explain the situation to her now and convince her to follow the doctor together. The doctor is my elder, so that she can see that the doctor is trying to find her. After reading it, I will tell her that the doctor has not broken the contract. Every I have been waiting for her for ten years. Maybe it will happen directly."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren sighed, "But when I calmed down and thought about it carefully, it felt wrong again. Since the letter said it was a place of memories, the doctor never found it. Doesn't that mean that the doctor didn't take her to heart at all? ? Or the doctor thinks this matter is irrelevant. If so, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

If you don't interfere, at least you have a guarantee.

If you intervene, you may lose everything.

"Relationships are ultimately a matter of two people. Outsiders should all stay aside." Lu Ren laughed at himself, "Good intentions may not necessarily bring about good results. Do you think so?"

"I, I don't know either." Shiina Hana stuttered a little at this time, "I can't bear this responsibility."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"But if it were me. Rather than looking forward and backward, worrying about this or that, I would prefer him to come directly to the appointment, no matter what the reason is for him to be late for forty years. Since I am willing to wait for him for forty years, it means that I have already I have already reached the corresponding realization. As long as I can see him, I think it is worth it. Even if it is just for one facet." Before she finished speaking, Shiina Hana added quickly, "Only for myself."

"What you said makes sense. It's just that we don't understand Kinoshita after all. Without solid basis, the hypothesis cannot be established. Forget it, let's be safe. I'll call the doctor and ask him to come over now."

"Ah."

Lu Ren still had some reasons in his heart that he couldn't explain to Shiina Flower.

Everyone around Conan has been involved in the vortex called the winery. If something unexpected happens, Lu Ren is confident to protect himself and Huiyuan, but for others, he is really powerless now.

If Kinoshita and the doctor really get married. The two even lived together. Then she will automatically be sucked into the winery vortex, whether she knows it or not.

But now, Lu Ren has changed his mind. Maybe it's because of the scenery here, maybe it's because of Shiina Hana's words, or maybe it's because he convinced himself.

Things like feelings are not something outsiders should worry about.

Lu Ren dialed Huiyuan's number, "Xiao Ai, I found the person you are looking for. She is under the ginkgo tree at Didan Primary School. Don't hang up yet. I have two things that I need you to convey. They are very important. . First, Kinoshita is unmarried, and the men of the same age around her are her subordinates. Second, let the doctor come alone. Don’t go with the five of you."

In the original work, Kinoshita misunderstood Conan and the others as the doctor's grandchildren, thinking that he had already married. In order not to make the doctor feel guilty, a stupid woman waited for him for forty years. Kinoshita lied, saying that the driver in the car was her lover, and was ready to bid farewell to the doctor and her youth in a dignified manner.

But the doctor may have finally seen through Kinoshita's lie and shouted to the car as it drove away, "I still like Ginkgo the best now!"

But they misunderstood after all. Lu Ren decided to kill this misunderstanding immediately. This was the only thing he could do.

After a while, the doctor answered the phone and only replied Lu Ren with one word.

"it is good."

ps1: I discovered a detail when I was reviewing it. The colors of the hats Kinoshita wore twice were different. Ten years ago hats were pink. Ten years later it’s gray. Perhaps this is a hint that she has accepted the fact that she is no longer young? Of course, these are all guesswork and nonsense. Don't take it seriously.

ps2: 02 ends and enters 03.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 360: Pre-consumption

Lu Ren did not follow up on the subsequent progress. After calling Haiyuan, Lu Ren took Shiina Hua and left the ginkgo forest.

He has done everything he can and should do. Next, let’s look at the doctor’s own operations.

Anyway, Kinoshita and the doctor can barely be considered a pair of childhood sweethearts. In this world of Ke Xue where Qingmei is destined not to lose, it may only be a matter of time before they get together.

Later, during the phone conversation with Haiyuan, the news she told also confirmed Lu Ren's suspicion.

——The doctor returned home at almost six o'clock, holding a golden ginkgo leaf in his hand and giggling non-stop.

Hearing this, Lu Ren felt that he should be stable.

"Xiao Ai, there might be a new mistress in the house soon."

Haiyuan ignored him.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ren continued to tell Shiina Flower a police love story.

Well, let’s start with the death of Kenji Hagihara seven years ago.

This sad story soon made Shiina Hana burst into tears, sobbing and speechless.

Those who didn't know better thought Lu Ren was bullying the little girl.

It's six o'clock in the afternoon, which is when the coffee shop has a lot of customers. Seeing a beautiful little girl crying so sadly, the eyes of people around her pierced Lu Ren's face like knives.

Well, it doesn't hurt.

However, when Lu Ren was halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by a phone call again. He took out his cell phone and took a look and found that it was Xiaolan calling this time.

"Wow, what's wrong?"

"Brother Ren, we are going to eat Western food at a three-star high-end restaurant tonight. Do you want to come with us?"

"Huh? Did you get a three-star Michelin dining coupon this time?"

"Not this time. This time it's dad who has accepted a very well-paid commission. It's him who takes us to have a big dinner."

"That's it. I have something to do here. You guys can eat."

"oh oh."

Lu Ren hung up the phone, quickly put the incident behind him, and continued telling stories to Shiina Hana.

Michelin three-star hotels are naturally found in China. It's just that its judging criteria have been criticized.

This is normal.

After all, when it comes to food, Chinese people’s self-confidence is engraved in their bones.

If someone says that China’s film and television industry is not good, there will be Chinese people who will agree. China's economy is not good, China's education is not good, and China's scientific research level is not good. There will be people who agree with the above.

But if someone says that China’s food is not good, all Chinese people will just laugh it off and say something contemptuously.

"The wild boar cannot eat fine chaff."

There is no way, the land is vast, the resources are rich and the history is long.

……

Since Shiinahua returned to work in the store, Lu Ren decided to resume his original work rhythm.

I write in a cafe during the day and go to the office to work on cases at night.

There’s not much to say about the writing, it went very smoothly. Shiina Hana did not keep trying, and continued to welcome every customer who entered the store with vigor as before.

Something went wrong while working on the case at night. Lu Ren missed the opportunity. Brother Maori doesn't stay in the office. When asked about Xiaolan, she didn't know where her father had gone or what he was doing.

Conan gave his own judgment. He said that when he was eating at a high-end restaurant last night, Uncle Maori said proudly that he had received a simple and well-paid case. The uncle is probably working on a case now.

——Simple and well-paying job.

Are you helping a rich wife catch her husband having an affair again?

This is indeed simple enough for Brother Maoli. When it comes to finding cats, dogs, and catching mistresses, Maoli is definitely an expert. There is no doubt about his ability in this area.

I couldn't envy this kind of thing. After a brief chat with the Maori couple, Lu Ren said goodbye and left.

Unable to catch the case, he slipped away.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ren received another call from Mao Lilan early the next morning.

She said urgently on the phone, "Brother Ren, come here quickly, something happened."

Lu Ren immediately drove to the office, and Mao Lilan was waiting for him at the door of the office.

"what happened?"

Lu Ren entered the office, and Mao Lilan followed closely behind him.

"Brother Maori, is he drunk? Do you want me to take him to the hospital?"

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Ren smelled a strong odor of alcohol. He looked in the direction of the smell and found Mao Li lying on the sofa with a flushed face.

Mao Lilan shook his head. The problem was not drinking. It wasn't the first time that Mao Li drank like this. She briefly told Lu Ren the whole incident.

The morning before yesterday, Maori received a commission.

The client was Soka Fujieda, who claimed that someone in her family wanted to assassinate her husband, Mikio Fujieda. If Maoli can find out this person and destroy his assassination plan. Souka Fujieda will pay Maori 10 million.

At that time, Maori felt that this commission was very simple, so he agreed immediately, signed a contract with Fujieda, and received a deposit of 500,000 yuan.

This matter was originally nothing. Even if you don't find out who that person is in the end. It's just that I can't make this ten million, so I will return the previous deposit of five hundred thousand, and at most I will pay some liquidated damages.

But the person who handled this matter was Maori. Because he felt that the entrustment was too simple, Mao Li was sure that he would definitely get the 10 million.

So before the investigation, he was so satisfied that he spent three million in advance.

As a result, when he actually launched an investigation into the Fujieda family yesterday, he found that things were far from as simple as he imagined. At this time, Maori already felt bad.

Then the most amazing thing came. In order to recover the three million he had previously spent, he spent another five million in advance on horse racing. I want to use gambling to fill the big hole I dug earlier.

Naturally, the result was that he dug a deeper hole for himself and buried himself in it peacefully.

As Mao Lilan narrated, Lu Ren gradually recalled which case in the original work this was.

Although he had seen it on TV, Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh when it actually happened in front of him.

"Brother is very knowledgeable."

Mao Lilan looked anxious, "Brother Ren, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry. It's okay." Lu Ren simply reassured Mao Lilan, "Brother, is this money my own savings?"
