Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

It can only be said that the organization Conan wants to fight is too dangerous and mysterious, and his life may be in danger if he is not careful. That's why it seems that Conan's family background and personal connections are not so "conspicuous".

Of course, it also has something to do with Conan's own character. Inherited from the excellent genes of his celebrity mother, Conan loves to show off and be in the limelight. But his ostentation and limelight were all based on his own abilities, and he gradually reached the position of police savior. Instead of relying on a strong family background to be arrogant and domineering.

This is an important point. It is precisely because of this character that everyone focuses more on Conan himself rather than his family background. Everyone calls him Kudo Shinichi, not Kudo Yusaku's son.

This is something that most second-generation rich and famous people cannot do.

But he is just a little kid now, a cool kid at best, the kind who has little girls his age obsessed with him.

Xiao Ai once told Lu Ren some time ago that Ayumi Yoshida is still hopelessly in love with Conan, just like the original plot. Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya like Ayumi. At the same time, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya seems to like Haibara.

Haiyuan is not very sure about this last point. But even if it was true, she didn't think it mattered. A child's love cannot be taken seriously.

Lu Ren thinks so too.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ren drove to the place Yukiko mentioned on the phone, the Toto Museum of Art.

However, he did not go directly there. Instead, he drove to the downstairs of the apartment opposite the imaging hall, then put on a marginal man's two-piece suit and walked to the imaging hall.

Because Shuichi Akai is also nearby.

In the original plot, after losing Yukiko's car for the first time, Akai Shuichi did not give up, but continued to follow him to the imaging hall.

Lu Ren didn't know exactly how to do it. Maybe this was a necessary skill for top agents? A sense of smell even more sensitive than that of a police dog.

After following him to the imaging hall, Akai Shuichi patiently waited until the evening. At least when Yukiko drove away from here and headed to the airport, he was still at the door of the picture tube.

But when Conan and the others went to the home of a CRT employee, the person squatting outside was no longer Shuichi Akai, but replaced by two faceless black men. One wears a round hat and the other wears glasses.

The tracking skills of these two people were much inferior, and they were easily thrown away by Conan.

Of course, the one who is now lurking near the imaging center is still Shuichi Akai.

Lu Ren didn't want to alert the enemy so quickly, resulting in the enemy being in the open while he was in the dark.

The current situation was very good, and he happened to want to see what Shuichi Akai was doing.

A long time ago, Belmod's home was invaded by FBI agent Judy. At that time, Judy must have seen the photo that Belmod posted on the whiteboard.

One has Miyano Shiho with an ×, and the other has Haihara Ai. Judy may not be able to connect the two photos together, after all, the fact of being rejuvenated is too magical.

But if she had mentioned it to Akai Shuichi, then Akai Shuichi would definitely know that Haibara Ai was Miyano Shiho. Even if he was not completely sure, he would be more than 90% sure.

As a former rye whiskey man, he is not said to know everything about APTX, but he must be aware of some rumors about this drug.

If this is the case, then Akai Shuichi's purpose of coming here is probably to secretly protect and observe Haiyuan.

At the same time, there is another possibility that Judy did not tell Shuichi Akai about the photo. Then Akai Shuichi's trip may be to confirm Haibara's true identity.

Regardless of the above, it is harmless to Haiyuan itself. No matter what purpose Akai Shuichi had, he would never really hurt Haiyuan.

Shuichi Akai is Qi San's biological son, the kind of person he is closer to than Conan. Qisan would not let Shuichi Akai do something like hurting Haibara that would make him lose popularity.

However, his personality has never been established with Lu Ren, and Lu Ren has no interest in him. When talking about Akai Shuichi, they usually mention - oh, that awesome background board, FBI Ace, Conan's humanoid plug-in, but it didn't take long for him to be ganked offline by Gin, his good gun shooting in the movie version, Amuro I think about my little enemy in my heart, even when I sleep.

It doesn't matter anymore. Not every original character has to be a friend.

The road faces the sky, everyone goes to one side. As long as everyone does not offend the river, it will be fine. Lu Ren will not do anything detrimental to Akai Shuichi, but at the same time he will not help him. Let nature take its course, as you like.

At the same time, Lu Ren also needs to consider that with the end of the full moon chapter and the main storyline of Conan gradually entering the red and black chapter, there is a high probability that his vest will fall off.

Akai Shuichi knew Lu Ren's true identity, a senior employee of the winery, Glenfiddich.

Not surprisingly, Akai Shuichi told Conan about this, and Lu Ren could not think of the reason why Akai Shuichi kept it secret.

At that point, things may become more troublesome. Of course, it's just more troublesome, and it won't end in a big way.

This time, that time. If Lu Ren first met Conan, once his identity as a winery employee was revealed, there would definitely be a big problem.

The earliest Conan was extremely radical on the issue of men in black. When he first met Haibara, he directly scolded her. Maybe it was the first time he suffered such a big loss, and he couldn't swallow it.

When Conan finds out that Lu Ren is a member of the winery, he will definitely make a scene.

Now, after being severely beaten by the organization a few more times, Conan's character has become much calmer.

And Lu Ren and Conan have been together for so long. The basic foundation of trust has still been laid. Conan also acquiesced that Lu Ren knew his true identity, but he did not pierce the window paper himself, so they understood each other tacitly.

When Conan really wants to question him about his identity, he can just fool him again.

Anyway, this isn't the first time I've deceived him.

ps: National funeral tomorrow. Stop updating for one day.

Chapter 372 It’s not unfair to lose

Somewhat surprisingly, Lu Ren did not see Shuichi Akai near the imaging hall.

In the original work, the vehicle Akai Shuichi was riding in was parked on this street in front of the museum. That's not the case now. This street is empty, with not many vehicles passing by, let alone anyone parking here.

Tsk.

Lu Ren felt a little regretful about this.

If Akai Shuichi really parked his car on the street, he would call Yumi directly. Let the traffic police come to tow the car, even if it cannot be towed away, it will always be fine to issue a ticket to disgust Shuichi Akai.

The results backfired.

However, in the original work, when Shuichi Akai was shot, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the sky was completely dark. That would happen to be when Yukiko was leaving the museum, and her flight was in the evening.

Perhaps Akai Shuichi also considered the possibility of being picked on by the traffic police, so he was squatting somewhere else at this time and waited until night to drive the car over.

Based on this consideration, Lu Ren took the imaging hall as the center of the circle and swept the surrounding area in a fan shape.

Akai Shuichi's car was not found, and Lu Ren would not be able to recognize it even if he found it. Because the car Akai Shuichi drove this time was not the Chevrolet he usually drove.

However, Lu Ren found Akai Shuichi himself, who was sitting in the cafe on the street opposite the imaging hall. And it's also a window seat. There was a cup of black coffee in front of me and no dessert. Akai Shuichi himself had put on some disguise, which was different from the last time they met, but it was of no use. The knitted hat said it all.

After confirming that Akai Shuichi was indeed nearby, Lu Ren turned and left.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ren walked into the imaging hall. But he didn't see Conan or the others in the hall.

Then Lu Ren took off the Marginal Man glasses. If we compare the Marginal Man two-piece set, the mask has a better hiding effect. The reason is very simple. The mask can cover half of the face.

For example, right now, even if Lu Ren had taken off his glasses, the staff in the imaging studio still didn't notice his presence and were still going about their duties.

Lu Ren walked up to a tall young man with yellow hair and greeted him out loud.

"Who are you? This place is not open to the public." Huang Mao seemed very wary, but after hearing Lu Ren's explanation, his expression instantly relaxed a lot, "Is it that person's friend? Just wait here. , I’ll call her.”

After a while, Yukiko trotted over. Full of smiles, he said enthusiastically: "Brother Lu Ren, you are here."

Bro?

What a weird title.

Forget it, just stop pretending and call him brother.

Lu Ren didn't feel any discomfort with Yukiko's overly enthusiastic attitude. Perhaps because she has been in the United States all year round, Yukiko's personality is relatively familiar, even though they have only known each other for less than a day. Unlike the average Japanese, they are reserved to put it nicely, but boring to put it bluntly.

Lu Ren nodded, "Where are Conan and the others?"

"The movie will be shown for a while. They are currently visiting movie-related equipment inside. Do you want to take a look together?"

"Ah."

It was also the first time for Lu Ren to come to the imaging studio or film and television studio. Lu Ren, who is not a member of the film industry, is not clear about the series of processes a movie goes through from shooting to final release.

This time he gained some experience. Let’s not talk about Conan Haiyuan, let’s talk about the three people in Five Hundred Words. They now understand the entire process, and it can be said that they have taken twenty years less detours than he did.

On the importance of making friends.

After seeing Lu Ren's arrival, the three people in Five Hundred Words immediately behaved more dignifiedly, and the smiles on their faces also changed from grinning to a gentle and lady-like subtle smile. Conan nodded slightly to Lu Ren.

Hui Principle turned around and walked over, "You have a cold?"

"No. It's just that the air quality is not very good today." Lu Ren made up an excuse and changed the subject. "How about it? Do you think movie post-production is interesting?"

"good……"

The two just started chatting.

Yukiko, who was next to Lu Ren, looked at Lu Ren and then looked down at Haiyuan. I repeated this several times, and suddenly I had a look of enlightenment on my face.

Then Yukiko sneaked up to Conan, bent down and whispered in Conan's ear: "I also said how could any little girl resist my Xiaoxin's beauty. So that's it. Xiaoxin, you didn't lose unjustly."

Yukiko had always been strange before. The little girl Haiyuan is very indifferent to her goose. It's not the kind of coldness that's pretended, it's real coldness. As a former actress, Yukiko can still tell whether she is good at acting or not. She even felt that Haiyuan's attitude towards the cats and dogs on the roadside was better than that towards her.

This is really strange. It stands to reason that both of them have become smaller and are being targeted by the organization. Not to mention sharing the same problem, there should be some common language. Or, hey hey hey...

But the result is this.

But now, when she saw Lu Ren and Haiyuan staying together, she understood. Her goose almost lost unjustly. In terms of beauty, Yukiko was confident that Xiaoxin, who inherited her appearance, would not lose to anyone, but in other aspects she was still far behind. Then there's no way.

Conan…

Mom, you don’t have to say anything if you don’t know how to speak.

It's a pity that a good person has a mouth.

After a series of events, Conan has completely looked away. Lu Ren and Huiyuan are a pair of arrogant people. They handle their own affairs. Don't let outsiders interfere, let alone interfere. He can't even take care of his own affairs, so he can't worry about others. Only a jobless vagabond like his mother would gossip like this when she was so idle.

After chatting for a while, the staff took Conan and the others to continue visiting the equipment.

This temporary tour guide is named Tangtian Keishen. He is about fifty years old and looks very friendly with a smile. He was responsible for all post-production color grading of Yukiko's films back then, and he has been Yukiko's friend for many years.

This time it was he who invited Yukiko to watch the preview version of the movie.

With Tang Tian's introduction one by one, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for dinner. Tang Tianbian took the opportunity to invite Yukiko and the others to have a working meal in the cafeteria.

Several people readily agreed. Lu Ren would not have any objections. Akai Shuichi was still squatting outside and would not go out if he could.

The work meal at this Dongdu Cinema is very good. There is rice and noodles, you can eat whatever you want. Moreover, there is only one vegetarian dish among the seven or eight dishes. There is meat in other dishes.

But thinking about it, it's true. After all, it was a company that could handle the post-production of movies made by actresses. Regardless of what happens now, at least the 'ancestors' are better off.

When serving the rice, Yukiko sighed, "Your food hasn't changed at all."

Tang Tian smiled and did not answer, probably because he saw the bright iron spoon of the rice cook and his unkind eyes.

Compared to other people's conventional methods, Lu Ren's way of serving rice is more creative.

He filled a large bowl of glossy noodles, and instead of asking the chef to add vegetables, he ran to open the window of the rice and added some of each side dish to the rice.

He called this cover. Some restaurants over there do indeed do this. Some vegetable noodles are really good, such as shredded pork with leeks. The combination is truly outstanding.

"Young man, have you finished eating so much?"

Lu Ren took off his mask and smiled, "That should be fine."

After a while, the master chef in the cafeteria said excitedly: "Look, look, this is a good young man. You guys eat this and that every day. A group of gentlemen eat less than women every day. It's embarrassing." No shame, no shame!”

ps1: I suddenly had a doubt when I was writing a book today. It seems that the grandparents of all the important characters in Conan have never appeared? For example, Xinyi's grandparents, Xiaolan's grandparents, not to mention Haiyuan's. The Haibara family may be dead, but Xin Xiaolan shouldn't be, right? With such doubts, the author went to Baidu to search "Who are Kudo Shinichi's grandparents?" The result was a very surprising answer. Kudo Shinichi's grandmother was Belmod...

ps2: The author is not sure whether Qi San is digging a big hole by not writing about grandparents, or whether he is simply not good at describing the elderly. If it's the latter, the author would consider selecting a group of grandparents. For example, Koshiro Mori~

Chapter 373 Hearse Drift

The master chef of the canteen has forgotten how many years he has not been told that the food in the canteen he is responsible for is not enough.

He has been in charge of this imaging museum since its establishment for more than 20 years.

It was fine at first, and I could finish every meal, but sometimes it wasn't enough, and each one was like a starving ghost reincarnated.

It's different now, everything will be left over. Those starving ghosts back then have now become fat old men.

Don't eat this, don't eat that. I started to pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and started to pay attention to controlling my blood sugar. I thought the dishes he cooked were heavy in oil and salt.

To be honest, it's not their fault. After all, time is not forgiving. I can only feel depressed secretly and curse a few bastards.

During this period, the imaging studio naturally recruited new people, but each of those new people was healthier than the middle-aged and elderly people. I don’t eat this or that.

I don’t know what is going on in this world. The more times progressed, the more he missed the past. Maybe he, like those bastards, is already old.

The master looked at Lu Ren and saw how he looked twenty years ago.
