Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

What Conan just mentioned is also a plot from the original work, and it can be connected to the main storyline to a certain extent.

When Lan was at Judy's house, she accidentally discovered a bunch of photos that Judy had secretly taken, which included her, Conan, and Haibara.

Then Mao Lilan entered the main storyline.

Lu Ren was going to stop this in advance. After all, Lan Jin was in the main storyline, which was different from Hei Ji's slacking off.

She is really risking her life.

Lu Ren remembered that on the day of the incident, Lan secretly hid in the trunk of Judy's car. He would take advantage of the opportunity and see if he could knock her out or knock her out in advance. Don't let her get in the car.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Ren continued to ask: "Did Lan tell you this?"

"No. My uncle told me. I've been staying at the doctor's house for the past two days, preparing to take care of Huibara. But you took Huibara away today. I didn't see you guys come back all afternoon. I thought she was going to stay overnight at your house, so I prepared to go back to the office. Then I called Uncle Maori and told him about it. He told me that there was no food at home and asked me to go back after dinner."

"Well," Lu Ren continued his acting, "Since Judy is from Black Cat, Dr. Shinde is from that side."

"Yeah." Conan didn't say the specific reason, and the car became very quiet for a while.

He remained silent, and Lu Ren changed the topic. Now was a good time to give Conan a shot of prevention.

Lu Ren held the steering wheel, staring at the road ahead: "You doubt this, you doubt that. Have you ever doubted me?"

"How is that possible? How could I doubt you?" Conan laughed.

Oh. A man's mouth is full of lies.

It sounds nice, but don't secretly put your hand on the anesthesia watch.

Lu Ren didn't point it out, "Actually, I'm quite happy getting along with you guys. Unless it's necessary, I don't want to disrupt this peaceful daily routine. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Ren himself didn't understand what he said. But it didn't matter, as long as he made it mysterious and confusing, Conan would complete the internal logic.

This is the good thing about the world of science. Not only are there many smart people, but they are also very considerate and empathetic.

This is indeed the case.

After a long while, Conan released his hand from the anesthesia watch and replied seriously, "I understand."

"Okay, then you can get off here. It's not far from the office. I won't go over there."

Conan responded, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and walked straight to the office.

Lu Ren watched him disappear in the crowd. Conan and Maori, the big and small death gods, reunited, and they might solve a case soon to satisfy their cravings.

Lu Ren had no intention of solving the case today. He took out his cell phone and called another considerate and smart person.

After a while, a lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Honey, why are you calling me so late?"

"you've been drinking."

Vermouth laughed a few times, then continued, "You had a lot of fun playing with Silver Bullet yesterday. Looks like we can close the net now."

"Closing the net? I don't even know what your plan is. How are you going to close the net?"

"I also hope to give you some surprises."

"Ah."

"Okay, okay, you're so impatient. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to invite your friends to a Halloween party. I've already written the letter."

Vermouth picked up the sealed letter on the table. Although she was smiling, her expression was extremely cold.

"My dear, do you want to join us?"

If the timing is right, it might even be possible to turn fake play into real play.

By then, everyone would be wearing makeup and no one would recognize anyone else. It would be reasonable to kill one or two people by mistake.

No one will defend the dead.

"You'll know when the time comes. I can't tell you now." Lu Ren said gently, "As you said, life needs some surprises."

"..."

ps1: Strictly speaking, the Dejima toilet incident and what Conan said were not on the same day. I made a slight adjustment here.

ps2: There is no need to elaborate on Ran's incident. However, there is an interesting episode in the anime. When Judy, Ran and Sonoko were chatting on the street, a passerby passed by them. The comments said that this was a character from Prince of Tennis. And it is said that there are quite a few guest appearances in this episode. If you like Prince of Tennis, you can go to Meow Meow. Point to the Japanese version of the 369th episode of the convenience store trap (Part ) on Station B.

Chapter 386 Loyalty

After returning home, Lu Ren sat at his desk and tried to recall the entire process of the Full Moon Chapter in his memory.

This time, the red and black confrontation was much more intense than any previous one. Because of the addition of the FBI, the two sides directly staged a gunfight and chase in Tokyo.

This kind of bloody work naturally requires more careful handling.

Lu Ren swept the oranges that were lying on the desk aside. Just as he picked up the pen, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and immediately frowned.

An unknown hidden number that can be dialed into his phone. So far, there is only one.

A person with facial paralysis who loves to laugh.

So Lu Ren put on a mask called Glenfiddich.

After the call was connected, the person on the other end said directly without any politeness: "There will be a Halloween party at 7pm the day after tomorrow. You should go there then."

"reason."

"Vermouth will also be attending the party, but it's not clear what she's planning to do. You go and check it out. That's what it means."

"can."

"I am also very disgusted with that woman's secretive behavior. It doesn't matter even if she doesn't have permission. If she does anything strange, just... teach her a lesson. I'll deal with the rest when I get back."

After hanging up the phone, Gin lit a cigarette. He was still in Kyoto at this time. Otherwise, this matter would not fall on Glenfiddich, and Vodka could just go there.

If Vodka were to go, the instructions would be different. For example, after the word "directly", Gin could smoothly follow up with "get rid of her."

Gin is well aware of his partner's abilities, and it is impossible for Vodka to kill Vermouth.

"Just kill her" is just a polite remark to express how deeply he is dissatisfied with Vermouth. It's not the first time that Gin has said this. If Vermouth really has second thoughts, he will take action then.

But this polite remark cannot be said to Glenfiddich, because Glenfiddich can really do it and really dares to do it.

Having said that, Gin suspected that the Glenfiddich embryo killer didn't get the point, or didn't want to get the point at all.

The key point of what he had just said to Glenfiddich was the first half of the sentence - to monitor whether Belmode had any strange behavior.

But Glenfiddich would most likely only listen to the second half of the sentence - to kill her directly.

As for the so-called "weird behavior", Gryffindor would probably explain it to the higher-ups like this: "I killed her, and she actually dared to fight back. Isn't that weird enough?"

This kind of thing has a history. This is how Ireland died. Afterwards, Glenfiddich gave this explanation, and then killed the brewery member who asked him for an explanation.

The reasons were exactly the same, and it was also 'weird' to dare to ask him for an explanation.

Gin didn't find it strange that this killer with a completely different mindset could do something.

Lu Ren on the other end of the phone naturally didn't know what Gin was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely say to Gin, "You're too suspicious."

Glenfiddich is bloodthirsty, so what does it have to do with Lu Ren?

He, Lu, is loyal to the winery. How could he bear to kill Belmode, who is also loyal to the winery?

For the two winery activists, working together sincerely and making progress hand in hand is the right way and the only way to live up to the organization's cultivation.

Harmony brings wealth, fighting and killing are not good.

Lu Ren put away his phone, pushed aside the orange that was occupying the desk, and recalled the plot of the Full Moon chapter.

1. The Red Detective Force, led by Conan, was invited to attend the Halloween party. (Note: The specific personnel are...)

2. Vermouth was about to take Huibara away in the name of Dr. Arata, but was beaten to it by Judy, and then the two sides confronted each other at the dock...

This Full Moon chapter is a dual-line narrative, with one and two progressing simultaneously.

Among them, the points worth noting are that Kuroneki disguised himself as a washing machine, Conan disguised himself as Haibara, Mao Lilan got into the trunk of a car and called the police, Haibara took a taxi to the dock, and Calvados committed suicide.

Ok……

The last point can be ignored.

As for the other points.

Tomorrow morning, secretly take Huibara to his house and let Dabai watch over her. Let Conan, the fake Huibara, deal with them. This is not difficult. Both the red and black parties may have people monitoring the doctor's house, but for Lu Ren, who has the two-piece set of marginal people, their monitoring is useless.

After settling Huibara, he went straight to the office. Before Mao Lilan left the office and prepared to go to Judy's house, he gave her an injection.

In the original work, it was because of the sudden appearance of Mouri Ran that Vermouth lost her composure and was defeated by Akai Shuichi who arrived later, and Calvados committed suicide.

At that time, Ran Mouri will not show up, and Vermouth also claims that she is prepared to deal with Shuichi Akai, although it is not clear what this preparation is.

Maybe the situation will change.

These are easy to say. Lu Ren doesn't care how the two sides fight.

If Vermouth, this loyal minister, is not careful, then the organization will have to rely on him even more.

It didn't matter if Akai Shuichi or Judy died. Lu Ren didn't have any hope for them.

He felt that instead of saying that the winery was destroying world stability and stirring up trouble everywhere, it would be better to spread rumors that there was oil at the winery headquarters.

Americans who smell this will definitely turn the winery upside down within three days.

If we can't rely on the FBI, then it doesn't matter whether they live or die. But it shouldn't be that easy for Akai Shuichi. After all, he is the biggest threat handpicked by the boss of the winery. If it's really that easy, where will the boss's face be.

It would be better if Shuichi Akai stayed alive. Only then would backbones of the winery like Lu Ren be relied upon by the boss, and only then would he be able to use the excuse of dealing with the FBI to slack off and receive his salary without working.

I can't defeat them, and I can't kill them. That's not normal? They are the elite of the elite of the empire, and I am just a small leader of an underground organization. It's not normal to be able to defeat them. If I could really defeat them, then the United States would have to call Japan its father.

Being able to stop or even sabotage the FBI's actions is already a great achievement. The big boss of the winery should also understand Mr. Lu's difficulties.

The existence of enemies is not a bad thing for a loyal minister like him. The absence of enemies is a big bad thing.

What really made Lu Ren embarrassed was that things on two fronts were happening at the same time.

He accepted the task given by Gin and had to attend the Halloween party. But if he really went, things at the dock would be difficult to handle. If something went wrong, he would be too busy to make it.

But if he didn't go, it would be difficult to deal with it. Gin was suspicious, so there was no guarantee that he didn't have someone else in the dark.

Lu Ren thought for a while, threw the paper on the table to Dabai to deal with, and dialed the phone again.

"Hey?"

"Are you home? I need to talk to you."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 387 Mixed in

"Boss, it's already this late. Going to bed too late is bad for your skin."

"Add money."

"That's fine." Shimabukuro Kimie sat on the sofa next to him, pretending to glance at the paper bag next to Lu Ren, then quickly retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Ren, "What do you need me to do?"

"There is a Halloween party the day after tomorrow. You will go there in my place. Put on this outfit." As he said that, Lu Ren took out a complete suit and a mask from a paper bag.

Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the suit, then stared at the mask in his hand for a while, and asked uncertainly: "DC Joker?"

"Yes. It's a cosplay party. Here's the invitation." Lu Ren handed Shimabukuro Junhui a letter and an ear-band intercom, "One, go there under my name. Two, don't reveal my identity to anyone present. Even if it's someone I know. Three, keep in touch with me at all times."

"Okay. I'll go try on some clothes."

"Ah."

A quarter of an hour later, Shimabukuro Kimie walked out of the room and came to Lu Ren. She shook her sleeves and complained, "This dress doesn't fit me at all."

"It definitely won't fit. It was tailor-made for me. Your job is to make it fit without changing the suit's foundation."

"That's not difficult. It's just that the height is a little tricky to deal with. There's a ten-centimeter difference between you and me."

"I'll call and ask."

Shimabukuro Kimie responded and sat back on the sofa, waiting for her boss to call her to ask for a solution. But she didn't have much hope for this, as her height was a disadvantage that was difficult to overcome.
