Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"No, you just made the right choice." Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

With another snap of the fingers, everything in front of him disappeared, and the door remained closed.

The only thing that was the same might be Nanatsuki Koshimizu's eyes, which were already red from crying.

"How is this going?"

"I told you, it's just a magic trick."

Lu Ren handed her a handkerchief and said, "The person is gone. As a detective, the most important thing you should do is to clear the name of the deceased. Of course, as a friend, you are willing to kill the murderer and avenge your friend. I also appreciate this."

"But I didn't do it. I finally chose to back down."

"That's not your fault. If it were a different environment, no one would have discovered him, and no one would have recorded or taken photos. Would you have killed him?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

"That's all. There's nothing wrong with your hesitation. But if you kill someone in the way you just did, and it's recorded, it will cause a sensation across the country and even the world."

"You will definitely die, and you will be used as a negative example. Your family and friends will be implicated, and they will be spurned, insulted, and blamed. Everyone who knows you and has come into contact with you will be terrified. Even if not for yourself, you should consider others, so I say that your behavior is not wrong."

"I'm a journalist with some influence in the industry. If you want, I can ruin his reputation in an instant. Of course, compared to losing his life, this is nothing."

"Or, you can choose to let me get rid of him and make sure no trace is left. But the price is high."

"What do I have to give?"

"Everything. From now on, your life belongs to me."

"Deal." Koshimizu Nanatsuki didn't hesitate at all. "But killing him doesn't matter. As long as I can destroy his reputation and tell Kana the truth, that's enough."

"Even so, are you willing to put your life in my hands?"

"I do. Not only did you save him, you saved me, too. By the way, can I use your shoulder?"

“You are going to…”

Before Lu Ren could finish his words, Nanatsuki Yueshui threw herself onto his shoulder and began to sob.

The crying was getting louder and louder. I didn't know why, but it was as if I had suffered a great injustice.

Lu Ren sighed, his tone somewhat sad, "My clothes are very expensive..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 462: The Sims ( words)

By the time Koshimizu Nanatsuki had vented her emotions, half of Lu Ren's shoulder was already wet, as if he had been caught in a rainstorm.

Not only did she shed a lot of tears, but she also cried for a long time.

Lu Ren was now just thankful that the door of the room was closed, and that it was some distance away from the restaurant and Tokatsu Junya's room.

Otherwise, if the crying called them all over, it would be difficult to explain.

Especially that guy Hattori Heiji, I don’t know what he is thinking about all day long.

When she saw Nanatsuki Koshimizu wearing women's clothes, she secretly told Conan that he, Lu, was a lustful person.

What's so lascivious about this? How can this be lascivious?

Lu Ren really couldn't understand it, but then he thought again, Hattori and the others are in adolescence, and all they have in their minds are cases and hormones.

So it’s normal...

At this moment, Lu Ren felt a lightness on his shoulders. Nanatsuki Koshimizu had already sat up straight again. Although her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, she was definitely no longer crying.

"Would you like to drink some water to replenish your water?"

"Yeah." Nanatsuki Koshimizu picked up the glass of water on the table.

After waiting for a while, seeing her put down the cup, Lu Ren said, "Since you have finished crying, let's get down to business now."

"You say." Her throat was hoarse from crying, and her voice sounded dry and low.

"Can you write a book?" Lu Ren repeated the question.

"You mean making up stories?"

"Yes. There is no limit to the subject matter, short or long stories are all fine. But the quality must be guaranteed. Don't bring elementary school students' essays to me."

"That I can't do. But I can learn."

"..."

What familiar words.

So he just stuffed another intern into Bei Dao’s arsenal?

But who among the interns who can get into Dongbao is not an elite? Why hire her?

Whatever, this guy is a detective after all, he has solved more than a hundred cases, and his experience is more than that of the average person. He has something to write about in his story.

Lu Ren consoled himself for a while, "Okay then. When we leave the uninhabited island tomorrow, I will assign you to work under an editor of the Eastern Newspaper. You can learn from her and work harder."

"So I'm going to stay in Tokyo forever?"

"You can't ask me to go to Fukuoka with you, right?" Lu Ren glanced at Nanatsuki Koshimizu, a little surprised why she asked such a meaningless question. "Don't worry about accommodation. I rented a house in Tokyo. You can pack your things and move in directly."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu considered her words for a moment, "The cost of living in Tokyo is a bit high. So, um, can you tell me about the salary?"

"Salary? What is that?" Lu Ren was very surprised. "Hasn't your accommodation fee been waived?"

If she can write a book, and write it well, then the treatment will definitely be good.

But the problem is, she won't...

There is still a lot to learn and a lot to teach.

If that’s the case, then what’s the difference between being an intern?

But Dongbao has never lacked interns. He could use them whenever he wanted, and he didn't need to pay for them, as Dongbao had already paid for them.

Lu Ren is about to start a business with Bei Dao. Bei Dao will invest 100 million yuan, so he will have to invest at least tens of millions.

In the short term, he could only come up with 30 million. In addition, he had a little money-eating beast to raise at home, and scientific research was also very expensive.

The financial pressure can be imagined.

If you cannot increase the flow in a short period of time, you must save energy.

Hearing Lu Ren's inhumane words, Yueshui Nanatsuki was also very surprised.

Salary and accommodation expenses offset each other?

Are you a street lamp pendant? A walking human ghost lamp?

Although the rent in Tokyo is not cheap, her labor can't be worth just this little money, right?

At least!

"Can you solve the problem of eating?" asked Nanatsuki Koshimizu humbly.

"You don't even have money for food?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked embarrassed and adjusted the scarf on her chest. "I'm actually 20 years old this year, and I've graduated from high school for two years. In order to participate in Detective Koshien, I deliberately changed back into my high school clothes."

"I know, so what? What does this have to do with you not having money for food?"

"I've been doing odd jobs since I graduated, and I can't save much money. The only savings I have have been spent on the preparations for the Detective Koshien. Buying equipment, renting a villa, hiring people. So I'm really out of money. I can't even eat enough these days."

Wow.

Lu Ren stroked his chin, "So you went to work after graduating from high school. I thought you were in college. Why don't you take an exam? Don't you want to take one?"

"Doesn't that mean I don't want to take the exam? I didn't pass." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said faintly.

"Failed the exam? Aren't you a famous detective?" Lu Ren was really shocked this time.

"Is there any necessary connection between being a famous detective and being admitted to university? It was because I was so obsessed with being a detective that my mind was full of cases and I didn't pay attention to my studies at all. As a result, my grades in school were very poor and I almost couldn't graduate from high school."

"So you're a bad student." Lu Ren got to the heart of the matter. "But as far as I know, whether it's Kudo Shinichi or Hattori Heiji, they've always had good grades in school. And they've solved many more cases than you."

"Yes, I am an idiot. I am an idiot with poor grades, no money, not enough food to eat, and can't get into college."

"Put that aside." Facing Nanatsuki, who was holding her head in her hands and looking sad, Lu Ren kept a poker face, "If playing the victim is useful, I can definitely act more miserable than you. Instead of wasting time here complaining about yourself, you should think about what to do in the future."

"Didn't I tell you before? I will listen to you from now on."

What’s the use of just being obedient? The key is to be able to actively create value.

Forget it. There's probably no point in arguing with a fool who can't get into college. It's better to just tell her what to do.

"You don't need to worry about eating. There's a cafeteria over at Dongbao. The food is pretty good, and there's meat every meal. I'll say hello to the person in charge, and you can eat there from now on."

"Uh-huh."

"Food and accommodation are taken care of. But you still have to buy the necessary daily necessities, and you don't have any savings. Forget it, I'll just give you another salary."

"It would be great if I can solve the problem of food and accommodation. As for other things, I can continue to work and earn money here."

Lu Ren waved his hand. "I brought you from Fukuoka to Tokyo not to let you work somewhere else. I value the value of your brain. Now the situation is like this..."

Lu Ren talked about how he and Bei Dao tinkered with the website and explained the current problems they were facing.

The doubt was now resolved, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu suddenly said, "No wonder you asked me if I can write a book."

"Well. You are a detective after all. You have solved many cases. You must have more experience than ordinary people. Try your best. After you go to Tokyo, you can also find a detective agency to join and take some commissions in your spare time."

Lu Ren also knew that even if he spent all his time on writing, it didn't mean he would be able to produce good works.

Just like studying, we must also pay attention to efficiency and combine work and rest.

For example, the plan that Lu Ren made for Yueshui Nanatsuki, when he was tired of writing, he would take commissions to solve cases, change his mind, relax and earn money to supplement the family income.

As for whether solving a case is a way to relax...

At least that's the case for Conan and Hattori. Solving cases is more like a hobby for them than a means of making a living.

If they don't deal with cases for a long time, they will feel uncomfortable all over.

I hope the same is true for Koshimizu Nanatsuki...

Nanatsuki Koshimizu nodded repeatedly. Looking at her expressionless face, she probably didn't appreciate her boss's good intentions.

"Okay, that's it. Anything else? If not, then go back to the restaurant."

More than forty minutes, almost an hour, had passed since I left the restaurant.

If the time is delayed a little longer, the detectives will inevitably have wild thoughts.

"And one last thing."

"explain."

"That's... the scene I saw earlier..." Nanatsuki Koshimizu hesitated for a while, and finally said, "It's not actually magic, but magic, right?"

It's not like she hasn't seen magic shows before, and she's familiar with many of the techniques and principles involved.

The previous scenes didn't look like magic at all.

"No, it's magic. To be more precise, it's a combination of magic and hypnosis."

Regarding Nanatsuki Koshimizu's behavior of questioning science, Lu Ren naturally had to give her some scientific education.

"Specific environment, special gestures, special body language and vocal techniques. At the same time, add a little psychological suggestion. Oh, yes, there are also requirements for the object of use. You are the kind that is easily affected by hypnosis."

Seeing that Lu Ren's words made sense, Yueshui Nanatsuki couldn't help but believe it a little.

After all, how could there be magic in this world?

But... there was one thing that concerned her.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu pointed at herself and said, "So I am susceptible to hypnosis?"

"That's not the case. It's mainly related to a person's physical and mental condition. The death of your best friend has clouded your mind with hatred. Excessive psychological pressure has reflected on the body, such as insomnia, frequent dreams, loss of appetite, and irritability."

"Your condition is not good to begin with. Plus, you said it yourself, you haven't had a full meal recently, your nutritional intake is insufficient, and you're exhausted from the long journey. You've reached your limit but you don't even realize it."

"When you sit on the bed and close your eyes, you basically fall into a semi-sleeping state in your subconscious mind in a very short period of time. In other words, you are hypnotized by me."

"Although you were still on guard against me, your body had already made its choice. This was a betrayal of the body, but also revenge."

Xiaoyou floated out of the bracelet and listened quietly to Lu Ren's serious nonsense.
