Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Under pressure from both outside and inside, they finally had no choice but to lie down, bow and apologize, and be beaten and punished.

After seeing and understanding this clearly, Tokatsu Junya did not feel much relieved.

Yes, the policeman is having a hard time now, but that doesn't mean his situation is better...

Not long ago, Tokatsu Junya received a call from his father, saying that the school now requires him, the guardian, to apply for a withdrawal certificate, but he is not required to do so.

That means directly notifying the dismissal.

His father had chosen the former.

He has no education and only graduated from high school. He cannot do any respectable job.

As for the detective path that he was most interested in and wanted to pursue, it was also blocked.

Even the Superintendent of Police, who is at the top of the entire police system, has come out to apologize. You can imagine how big a deal this incident has caused.

Naturally, he should also think that from now on, Tokizu Junya's name will definitely be on the blacklist of the national police system.

Unless he runs abroad to develop.

This……

Fortunately, the next moment, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"I was disgraced and reincarnated into another world to start my second life!"

……

In the editor-in-chief's office of Dongbao, Lu Ren sat at Bei Dao's workstation, drinking coffee while staring at the background data of his own website on the computer screen.

The article Lu Ren wrote this morning was naturally posted on his own news website as soon as possible, and it was the front-page headline.

The number of active users on the website is still not large, but everyone’s feedback on this news is very positive, and the discussion in the comment section is in full swing.

After flipping through a few of them, Lu Ren put the coffee cup aside and said, "It seems like things have gotten out of hand."

Seeing this, Atsushi Mori, who was standing by, quickly refilled Lu Ren's cup of coffee.

"This shows that your manuscript is well written and everyone thinks you are right, sir."

Lu Ren shook his head slightly.

What Mori Atsushi said is only a small part of the reason. Well-written manuscripts are one aspect.

The more critical reason is that ordinary people are not having an easy time.

After the bubble burst and the dream of becoming a strong country was shattered, the economy continued to decline and has not shown any signs of improvement.

Experts on TV every day are there to boost morale, saying that this is only temporary and things will definitely get better next year.

But year after year, the good years never come. Except for age and a shrinking wallet, nothing seems to have changed.

Life is not easy, and hostility will naturally breed.

What happened today simply gave them a channel and a way to release their pressure.

The whole nation was celebrating, and then the police were shot.

Naturally, there are bad apples everywhere, not just among the police but in every walk of life.

Most of the police are pretty good, like in Tokyo and Osaka.

But it's no use. When the fire really starts, it won't care whether you are good or bad.

The influence of public opinion is truly terrifying.

Forget it, never mind.

There is one thing about Lu Ren that is similar to the previous Divine Pen.

That is to do what you want to do and not care whether there will be a huge disaster afterwards.

"The police will hate me now. It will be hard for me to do my job in the future."

"How could that be?" Mori Atsushi disagreed, muttering, "If they dare to make things difficult for you, sir, wouldn't that be rejecting the supervision of the masses? That would be digging their own graves."

what……

Lu Ren looked at Mori Atsushi, who quickly smiled.

This guy should work in a winery. Being a reporter is a waste of his talent.

"Too."

Lu Ren picked up the coffee cup. He was not the one who should feel embarrassed or ashamed.

Some police officers have never tortured people into confessing, but that doesn't mean they are innocent.

When their predecessors or colleagues did such things, they did not stop them, but chose to stand by and watch, protecting themselves.

This is a way of survival, and it is not wrong for me personally. After all, it is hard to find a job nowadays.

But once it is disclosed and becomes a collective incident, it is not unfair to accuse them of dereliction of duty and inaction.

……

In the evening, Lu Ren went to Dr. Agasa's house carrying a bag of fruit.

"Xiao Ai, I'm here to eat. What are we having tonight?"

"I haven't started yet, what do you want to eat?"

Lu Ren thought for a moment and said, "Curry, please."

In fact, there are many things that Lu Ren wants to eat, but Huiyuan can't cook most of them.

She might be able to do it, but due to the physical limitations of an elementary school student, she could only do a little.

That's obviously not enough for Lu Ren to eat.

It’s better to make curry directly, cut the ingredients, add the seasoning packet and stew it in the pot.

It’s simple to make and tastes good.

Lu Ren can eat two bowls of rice with curry sauce.

"It's OK, but we don't have enough food at home. I have to go out for a while."

"Let's go, let's go together."

On the way to the supermarket, Huiyuan and Lu Ren walked side by side.

"I read the manuscript, it's pretty good."

"It must."

I burned half a stick of incense to write this. It's unacceptable if the quality is just average.

"How come you have time to come here today? Aren't you going to the office?"

Lu Ren shook his head. "They are out. They are not at home."

This morning Lu Ren received a call from Mao Lilan.

It is said that Kogoro Mori was invited by a great writer to visit his home, and his family members could also go along.

After leaving the office yesterday morning, after Conan's explanation, Mao Lilan now knows what Lu Ren is busy with.

It just so happened that the person she was going to meet today was a well-known mystery novel author. Mao Lilan immediately thought of Lu Ren.

She thought Lu Ren might be interested in it.

Of course I am interested or not.

But Lu Ren was a bit busy today and couldn't go with them. He had to temporarily decline and said he would go tomorrow.

The Maori family will stay there for two days in total. They went there just for rehearsal today, and tomorrow is the time for the formal interview.

Although it was just an interview, not a commission to solve a case.

But who cares? There was money to be made, and board and lodging were provided. Mao Li naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure.

Because of this, Lu Ren felt that nothing would happen tonight. After all, the Mao Li family would be there for two days. It was impossible for something to happen on the first day.

Of course, even if something really happens, there is still time to get there.

Because that great writer lives in Tokyo...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 471 Unexpected

After dinner, Lu Ren was in no hurry to leave. There was no case to solve tonight anyway.

He walked to the sink and started helping Huibara wash the kitchen utensils.

"Xiao Ai, I left in a hurry that day and forgot to call you to tell you."

"It's okay. Sister Shino told me that you were going to an uninhabited island to film a show."

While chatting, Huiyuan did not stop moving. She took the dishes washed by Lu Ren and washed them again with clean water.

"Brother Ren, I won't interfere with what you do. I just hope you can take care of your body. It's okay to go to bed late, but try not to stay up all night. Especially if you don't rest after staying up all night and then do other things."

Huiyuan was very worried about this. "Even if you have good physical fitness, you can't keep doing this. Have you forgotten that you fainted in the courtyard last time?"

"Yes. I promise you. From now on, I won't stay up late unless it is necessary. But sometimes I really have no choice. I think you should understand."

"As long as you don't pull all-nighters too often."

After receiving the assurance, Huihara's worries subsided a little.

She knew Lu Ren's true identity, and asking him to follow a completely regular schedule was an impossible task in itself.

As long as Lu Ren promises to pay attention to this in the future and take conscious care of his body.

Just having this promise is enough.

After washing the dishes, they sat back on the sofa.

"Don't do the experiment today. I want to talk to you."

"Ah."

Haibara Ai got up and made a pot of coffee, then poured a cup for each of them.

Lu Ren tested the temperature and felt it was not very hot, so he held the coffee and drank it while telling Huihara about his experience on the uninhabited island.

That is the whole story of how he wrote the article this morning.

"Finally, I brought Koshimizu Nanatsuki back. I thought she was a promising talent, so I decided to recruit her as my subordinate."

"Like Sister Jun Hui?"

Huihara Ai knew about Shimabukuro Kimie. Although they had not dealt with each other many times, she also knew that Lu Ren trusted Shimabukuro Kimie very much.

For example, every time letters were sent to Hokkaido, it was always Shimabukuro Kimie who was in charge.

"Almost. Speaking of Jun Hui, she is planning to take over the rice flower coffee shop..."

Lu Ren explained the reason again. Until now, he still felt that this matter was a bit magical.

Although the store is not particularly large, it is at least a decent store.

This storefront is not rented, it belongs to the store manager. Even if he can't work anymore, can't make cakes, can't sell coffee.

He closed the shop and sublet it directly. The rent was enough for his retirement.

There is no need to say that the ownership of the house should be handed over to Shimabukuro Kimie.

Huiyuan was also a little surprised by this, but she didn't care too much about it. Because...

"It's a good thing anyway. Isn't it?"

"That's true. Oh, by the way, Bei Dao and I are planning to start a company together. The legal procedures have basically been completed. The details are as follows..."

Then there was another long speech.

This time, the conversation took a particularly long time. From the basic plan for opening the company to the unexpected situation of Hibiki Eri yesterday, Lu Ren explained everything.

Not to mention the coffee in the cup, even the coffee in the pot was finished.

This also prompted Huihara to get up and make another pot of coffee.
