Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 282 Monday (Monday)

4.27. Monday.

Ten o'clock in the morning, inside the Rice Flower Department Store.

Popular food writer Minoru Nishina is holding a book signing on the second floor.

Although today is a working day, the autograph session is still crowded and the queue is very long.

When he arrived at the department store, two security guards were specially assigned to him. One person on each side is responsible for maintaining order and preventing pushing, jumping in line, and other uncivilized phenomena.

People lined up in two lines here at the autograph session.

At the end of the group was a long table covered with a white tablecloth, on which were neatly stacked two half-person-high stacks of pink-covered books.

These books are Nishina's new masterpieces this year.

Behind the desk stood two staff members, wearing blue uniforms and white baseball caps.

One person is responsible for collecting the money, and the other person is responsible for handing the new, unopened pink book to every customer who paid.

At the end of the other team is naturally the popular writer Minoru Nishina. He is sitting behind the desk, holding a marker, receiving books, signing them, and returning them all in one go.

He signed his name on the title page of each book, with a gentle smile on his face, and sincerely thanked every parent who provided food and clothing, "Thank you for your support."

Then when the man in front of him picked up the book and left, he quickly stopped smiling. Until the next food and clothing parent arrives, then put on a business posture, and then sincerely thank you.

In this long queue, stood two familiar figures.

Their features are also very obvious.

A sharp horn and a green headband on top of the head.

The two people are Lan and Yuanzi. They were holding new books and waiting in line for autographs.

Yuanzi is not interested in Nishina Minoru, but Naolan is a loyal fan of his books. so……

Although today is Monday, they did not skip class.

But it was a holiday. Take a long vacation. A whole week long vacation.

It stands to reason that this kind of holiday has no basis and is given out of nowhere. The teachers don't even leave any homework.

but……

Never mind. It’s a holiday anyway. Just play.

This kind of work of finding out the truth can be left to a great detective with excessive curiosity and energy.

After finally reaching the two of them in line and getting Nishina Minoru's autograph, Sonoko took Lan's arm and pulled her down to the first floor.

The two of them found a round table and chairs and sat down. Then Yuanzi looked at the time and said happily, "Lan, where should we go to play in the afternoon?"

"I have something to do in the afternoon." Lan replied.

"Eh?"

"Xiao Ai wants to learn to knit sweaters. I'm going to take her to see my mother in the afternoon." Landao said.

"Okay." Yuanzi curled her lips, "By the way, I remember you didn't have a date tonight..."

"Yes." Lan turned her wrist and looked at her watch, "At seven o'clock in the evening, at the French restaurant Mihua. Me, my parents, and Conan."

... Yuanzi was stunned for a moment.

That troublesome brat should go too.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with her.

Yuanzi sighed, "You must have planned this dinner party again."

Lan nodded.

Yuanzi then sighed, "It's really hard for you."

"No." Lan smiled and waved her hand, "Where should we go to eat?"

"Macaroni Noodle House, Sushi, Tenryuya, Salia." Sonoko clapped her fingers, "The latter two restaurants are more likely to meet Brother Ren."

"...It's unlikely." Lan retorted seriously, "Brother Ren usually spends lunch at the cafe, eating a piece of cake."

"Hey, really?"

"That's right. So -" Lan nudged Yuanzi with her elbow, "Do you want to eat cake?"

"Forget it...lose weight...let's have a vegetable salad for lunch."

Yuanzi hasn't exercised much recently, and he hasn't gained much weight yet. But Naihe felt guilty.

……

At the Rice Flower Cafe, Lu Ren and the two little ones sat facing each other.

One of the hands is holding a cup and sipping a drink, while the other is placing his hand on the crystal ball.

Lu Ren is testing the two's magic qualifications.

It's A within two minutes, A+ in one minute, S in ten seconds... If it doesn't light up for five minutes, it means it has no connection with magic and is a pure Muggle.

Lu Ren naturally still remembers what Koizumi Hongzi said earlier. only--

If a witch is born with an A, she is one in a million, then what is the point of being born with an A+?
  Haibara is A+, and probably an extremely good A+.

In fifteen seconds, the crystal ball lit up.

This is really...

Pity.

Birth is not at the right time.

As for Conan, he is a pure Muggle.

He put his hand on it for five minutes, and the crystal ball didn't even light up.

"Okay, let go." Lu Ren said to Conan, and raised his hand to summon Shimabukuro Kime, motioning for him to put his hand on it. After all, she was a former miko, so she might have some connections.

Just over a minute, grade A.

Not bad.

Lu Ren called out to Shimabukuro June to let go and let her go about her own business.

"Brother Ren, what is this for?" Conan pointed at the crystal ball. He didn't understand the operating principle of the ball. It would glow when others put their hands on it, but nothing happened when he put it on.

Could it be that there is a switch in Lu Ren's hand that controls whether the ball shines or not?

This idea was rejected by Conan as soon as it surfaced.

That's too boring. Lu Ren doesn't look like this kind of person.

"It's nothing. It's someone else's. I'll borrow it for two days." Lu Ren put away the crystal ball. "What kind of cake do you want to eat? I'll pay for it."

"..."

The two little ones exchanged glances and reached a consensus instantly.

The two of them said in unison: "Brother Ren, we (Edogawa) have something to come to see you for."

"Say." Lu Ren glanced at them, "It doesn't matter, it's safe here."

"That's it..." Haiyuan was responsible for narrating, while Conan added beside him.

Three to five minutes later, Lu Ren successfully understood the whole story.

May 4th is Kudo's birthday, and Lan wants to celebrate Kudo's birthday at midnight.

...May 4th, Youth Day. I would rather pick the day.

"What day of the week is it?"

"Monday." After Conan replied, he added, "Today is April 4.27th, Monday."

Conan knew that Lu Ren was never sensitive to time.

"Yeah." Lu Ren nodded and looked at Huiyuan, "Xiao Ai, what do you mean?"

"I'll listen to you."

Lu Ren looked startled and then became serious, "How many days are there until Monday?"

"..." Conan was a little confused by Lu Ren's words. He didn't expect Lu Ren's sense of time to be so bad. "If you count today, it's eight days. It's not seven and a half days."

"It's still early. You go back first. I'll give you an answer within the next few days," Lu Ren said.

"Well, then we won't disturb you." After Haiyuan finished speaking, he stood up and took Conan to leave.

Conan actually didn't want to leave. He wanted to get a definite reply, but he couldn't resist Haiyuan and was forced to leave together.

Lu Ren watched the two of them leave and ordered a cake for lunch. Before waiting for the meal to be served, he tapped his fingers on the table.

Conan's idea is actually quite good.

It's cold anyway, so if you wrap yourself up tightly, Lan won't get suspicious.

If there was no other choice, Lu Ren would directly agree.

But it's different now.

Now maybe there really are other options, such as Koizumi Anko's magic.

The witch might have some kind of deception - in the eyes of outsiders, Ran is dating Conan, but in Ran's own eyes, she is dating Kudo.

This is why Lu Ren didn't agree immediately.

If there really is such a cover-up. Lu Ren definitely chose the blind method instead of letting Conan take medicine.

On the one hand, taking the antidote will make the transformation process painful, but on the other hand, if you take too much, you will develop drug resistance.

It’s better not to eat if you can.

Call tonight and ask.
