Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Not only is it difficult for Mouri Kogoro, but I'm afraid it's also difficult for Fei Yingli. It would be a bit unfair if the couple thought that someone like him, Lu, had "led the bad" of their daughter.

"No, no." After hearing this, Mao Lilan blushed instantly and waved her hands repeatedly, "I won't wear such clothes."

"I'm going to buy some cute clothes with Xiaolan today. But if you like their style, Brother Ren, it's okay for Lan and I!" Looking at his shy best friend, Yuanzi teased with a smirk.

"Garden!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's stick to the original plan." Yuanzi stopped teasing her and said sternly, "Let's go pick out some clothes for Xiao Ai first. And you, kid?" , this is a rare opportunity, do you want to buy some new clothes too?"

Sonoko looked down at Edogawa Conan. She is now used to Mao Lilan taking Edogawa Conan with her wherever she goes.

Although she has never liked this little devil, since she is going to buy children's clothes, whether Edogawa needs them or not, she has to ask first. This is the basic quality of life.

"Yes, Conan, can I buy you some new clothes too?"

"No need, Sister Xiaolan. My clothes are enough." Conan shook his head repeatedly.

His mother is a retired screen star and a woman who is truly at the forefront of fashion. The clothes Kudo Yukiko bought for him when he was a child are still timeless even now. So Edogawa Conan has no need for this at all.

The second thing is that Lu Ren once bought him a women's kimono, and Edogawa Conan was very worried that Lu Ren would do the same thing again. Especially now that Sonoko is here.

If Lu Ren really has this idea, Conan is sure that Suzuki Sonoko will support it immediately.

Mao Lilan asked again: "Are you really not buying it?"

"It's really not necessary."

Seeing his persistence, Mao Lilan said nothing more.

"Let's go then."

What follows is endless shopping and trying on clothes, shopping and trying on clothes again. Although Lu Ren had been mentally prepared for this, he still inevitably felt a little tired.

It's not physical, it's mental fatigue.

For example, right now, Lu Ren really doesn't understand Mao Lilan's shopping philosophy.

Entering the store, choosing clothes, trying them on, and then...

"Brother Ren, what do you think of this?"

"It's pretty good, buy it."

"Well... forget it, let's look at other things."

"Where's this one, Brother Ren?"

"It looks good, buy it."

"Well... forget it, let's look at the others, maybe there are better ones."

Just like this, one house after another, one thing after another... Huiyuan, who was still dazed and stunned, became more energetic, while Lu Ren couldn't stand it anymore.

He really felt that every piece of clothing looked good. After all, Hui Yuan had it all on display and it would look good no matter how he wore it. He has taken dozens of photos with his mobile phone.

But Mao Lilan and the others couldn't choose any of them.

While Mao Lilan and Yuanzi were choosing clothes again, Lu Ren saw the opportunity, pulled Huiyuan to his side, and said earnestly: "Xiao Ai, don't worry about money, your family has money now, just go ahead and buy it. Just buy whichever one you like, or buy them all.”

Lu Ren really felt that even if he bought all the clothes he liked, it would be better than picking and choosing and not buying the last one.

Hui Principle shook his head gently, "Brother Ren, you don't understand."

After that, she returned to the team and continued to pick up clothes with Mao Lilan and the others.

Conan stepped forward and patted Lu Ren on the shoulder, and said with an experienced attitude: "This kind of thing is like this, just get used to it."

Lu Ren: "..."

……

At noon, a street coffee shop in Shinjuku.

"Brother Ren, I'm really troubling you today."

"It's okay." Lu Ren smiled and waved his hands, just like Conan said, he also looked away now.

It’s not just shopping, let’s go shopping.

Used to it.

I didn’t buy anything in the morning, so I went shopping in the afternoon. If it doesn't work today, continue tomorrow.

Lu Ren also saw the efforts of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko this morning, and understood that they were really putting their best efforts into choosing good-looking clothes for Haiyuan.

Although I didn’t buy any of them in the end, this sentiment deserves recognition and encouragement.

Lu Ren would like to see Huiyuan communicate with more people, help others and accept help from others, instead of being closed off and withdrawn.

"There are several famous restaurants here in Shinjuku. You guys see what you want to eat and I'll treat you." As he said that, Lu Ren pushed the phone in front of Mao Lilan and the others.

While Mao Lilan and the others were picking out clothes, Lu Ren also did some research and checked out some nearby restaurants with good reputations.

Mao Lilan and the others discussed it and finally decided to go to a barbecue buffet. Lu Ren had no objection to this.

While he was talking, another person came in at the door. Lu Ren looked over subconsciously, his expression suddenly startled.

This person...

Xu realized that something was wrong with Lu Ren's expression. Mao Lilan and Yuanzi turned to look at the door. The next moment they became excited at the same time.

"Okay, that's cute."

"It's a goth lolita!"

Gothic Lolita is a unique Japanese fashion style that combines elements of Gothic and Lolita styles.

Lu Ren, who has been exposed to otaku culture, is no stranger to this outfit. He just didn't expect that anyone would actually wear it like this in reality.

What was even more unexpected was that Mao Lilan and Yuanzi seemed to like this style of dress very much.

"Brother Ren, Brother Ren, don't you think this kind of clothes is very suitable for Xiao Ai?" Yuanzi said excitedly as he watched the goth loli sit down and came back to his senses.

"Is there any?" Lu Ren hesitated.

Gothic Lolita is a black-based dress with gorgeous decorations such as lace, ruffles and ribbons.

He doesn't dislike the clothes, but the problem is...

Not only wearing this style of clothes can be called a Goth lolita, but it also needs to be matched with corresponding makeup.

This makeup look is a bit hard to explain in Lu Ren's opinion.

Sickly pale complexion, extremely heavy eye shadow, and dark, crimson lipstick.

"Hmm... the clothes are quite beautiful. But Xiao Ai is still young, so I'm worried that it won't be good for her skin if she comes into contact with makeup too early." Lu Ren rubbed Hui Yuan's little head, "And I remember Xiao Ai, don't you I like wearing dresses too much.”

Lu Ren had thought about buying a Lolita for Haiyuan a long time ago, but the latter simply refused.

"Ah."

"That's it, forget it."

While a few people were chatting, the goth loli who had just been sitting on the chair suddenly stood up and walked out of the coffee shop.

Just at this time, the waiter brought their drinks, and Lu Ren casually mentioned, "Excuse me, did something happen to the lady just now?"

The waiter replied: "That lady went out to use the toilet. Do you have anything to do with her?"

"Nothing, just asking."

This was the first time he met someone dressed as a gothic lolita, and Lu Ren paid more attention to him.

"Okay, please call me if you need anything."

After a while, Conan raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Hasn't that sister finished using the toilet? It's been more than ten minutes."

More than ten minutes is nothing.

In the era of smartphones, it is common to spend half an hour in the toilet.

Lu Ren replied casually, "Maybe she left because of something."

"maybe."

At this moment, another working woman came in at the door.

The waiter rushed to greet him. "Welcome, are you alone?"

"No, I have an appointment." The person walked into the store, looked around and asked, "Have you seen a woman dressed as a gothic lolita? She is my friend."

"That lady went to the bathroom." The waiter led the person to the table where the Goth Loli was sitting just now.

Lu Ren also took the opportunity to look back.

After this person entered, almost all the customers in the store were looking at her.

It's not that this woman is very eye-catching, her dress is very normal for a working woman.

The only problem is...

"It's really interesting that my friend who is a gothic lolita is wearing ordinary workplace attire." Haibara complained.

"Well...this matter has nothing to do with us."

If you really want to say it, it is indeed a bit strange. If the two of them really stood together, I believe the contrast would be very strong.

But Lu Ren was not ready to wait any longer.

"It's almost time, let's go eat. Waiter, pay the bill."

With that said, Lu Ren stood up and walked towards the counter.

At this moment, the sound of a glass breaking suddenly came from behind him. Lu Ren looked back and found that the working woman had accidentally broken the glass.

what……

Something is wrong.

Lu Ren reached out and pulled Conan, and asked in a low voice: "The cup she broke seems to be the cup in the place of the goth lolita, right?"

"Yeah." Conan also lowered his voice, "I'm also saying that if a normal person sees a water glass in front of a seat, he should know that someone is sitting in that seat. Even if she is friends with that goth lolita, she should sit there You should wait for her on the opposite side, why did you sit directly in the goth lolita's seat?"

Not only Lu Ren, Conan also noticed this abnormal situation. But he also couldn't figure out why.

In the past, Lu Ren wouldn't have cared about this kind of thing. What others do is none of his business.

But now he is in the world of Ke Xue.

The abnormal behavior of this working woman is very likely related to the case.

Lu Ren hesitated for a moment before making up his mind. He waited for the waiter to clear away the broken glass, then waved her over.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Do you want to pay?"

"Well." After paying, Lu Ren pointed to the clock on the wall, "That goth loli girl has been away for more than 20 minutes. Why don't you go to the toilet outside and take a look. Don't let anything happen. .”

"That's what you said." The waiter nodded, opened the door and left the cafe quickly.

Five minutes later, the waiter hurried back to the coffee shop, her expression a little confused.

Lu Ren saw this and asked, "What happened?"

"Sir, I just went to the toilet to check. The goth loli girl is not in the toilet."

"Maybe she left because of something. Go and talk to the woman and ask her to call her friend and ask."

"Uh-huh."

While speaking, Lu Ren winked at Conan. The latter understood immediately and followed the waiter silently.

After a few more minutes, Conan came back with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Lu Ren's heart sank and he asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?"

"That sister's phone number can't be reached."

problem occurs.

556.

I couldn't find anyone, couldn't get through on the phone, and this working woman behaved a little abnormally.
