Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 317 It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun
  "We have already done?"

"Yeah. Heart-shaped. There are no other shapes of molds over there."

After the meal, Haiyuan put a packaging box that was as big as a tablet in Lu Ren's hand. Then she took out a normal-sized box from her bag and placed it on the coffee table.

"This is for my sister."

"Okay. I'll ask someone to deliver it to you tomorrow." Lu Ren weighed the chocolate box in his hand, "Can this be opened?"

"Okay. But you still have a cold. It's best not to eat."

"Is there such a saying?" Lu Ren gently untied the satin bow on the box and carefully opened the light blue wrapping paper.

"It will have a certain impact. It's more just in case."

"That's okay. I've recovered from my cold."

Two or three minutes later, Lu Ren took out the chocolate from the box and took a bite on the edge.

!!!

Haiyuan asked: "How does it taste?"

Lu Ren's expression remained unchanged, "Not bad. Thank you. Is there any water? I'm a little thirsty."

"Yes. I'll pour it for you."

[Chocolate made from pure cocoa butter]

This damn thing...

so bitter……

Lu Ren was a little lucky now. Fortunately, he had eaten the food cooked by Fei Yingli some time ago and had filled up his poison resistance points in one go. Otherwise, just this small bite would have made Lu Ren directly suffer from the mask.

If that were the case, it would be extremely rude.

Lu Ren put the chocolate back into the box, sealed it and put it on the coffee table.

This thing is suitable for taking to a coffee shop to eat with dessert.

I can't stand eating alone.

It was bitter in the mouth and now the aftertaste is very sour.

Ugh.

Just, is this really a Valentine’s Day gift?
  Isn't this a trick game?
  After drinking a cup of warm water handed over by Haiyuan to dilute the aftertaste in his mouth, Lu Ren pointed to the chocolate on the table and asked in a roundabout way:
  "This chocolate seems to be no ordinary chocolate."

"Yeah. It's the kind you usually eat. Pure cocoa butter."

"..."

The kind he usually eats?
  When had he eaten this?

He doesn't like chocolate at all.

Wait……

He usually never eats it, but he shares it with others.

I gave it to Conan back then, and I also gave it to Haibara chocolate.

The one I got in the lottery seems to be pure cocoa butter...

Now Lu Ren figured it out.

Yes, I turned around and got into trouble on my own head.

"It's interesting. I like it very much. The chocolate for your sister is also pure cocoa butter?"

"That's not true." Haiyuan shook his head, "That one is made of ordinary chocolate. The one you often eat is too bitter after all, and ordinary people can't eat it."

"……Too."

Lu Ren stretched out, looked at the time, and got up from the sofa.

"It's getting late, I'll drive you back."

"You shouldn't be..." Haiyuan said suspiciously, "You are still planning to work in the office."

"Is this better? I'm thinking of going there for a walk."

"You really..."

Haiyuan didn't know what to say to him, so he said helplessly: "You should use your own discretion."

Lu Ren made an OK gesture.

Just then, the phone rang suddenly.

"It's a call from Edogawa. I'll answer it first."

Haiyuan answered the call and put the phone to her ear. After a while, her face became extremely solemn. "Okay, I understand. Don't worry yet."

"What's wrong?" Lu Ren asked immediately after she hung up the phone.

"Something happened. Edogawa just said that all the cases that Mori had handled were stolen."

"I don't know. It could be Vermouth. I'll call her and ask her."

"Yeah. Also, Edogawa said that he can't contact Mouri Kogoro now. No one answers the landline or mobile phone."       "Okay, I understand."

Five minutes later, Lu Ren put away the phone.

"She didn't do it. The organization hasn't done much recently. I guess it might have been done by the FBI. They probably noticed something unusual about Edogawa Conan. As for Brother Mori, there's no need to worry. I heard from his subordinates that he is still as usual. I was waiting in the small steel ball shop. I guess I didn’t hear the phone ringing.”

"Yes." Haibara lowered his head, "FBI, Akai Shuichi."

"It's not necessarily him. It's also possible that Agent Judy under him did it. Other forces have not been thought of for the time being. But even if it does happen, the possibility is very low."

Seeing that Haiyuan seemed a little worried, Lu Ren comforted him: "It's okay. If it was really the FBI, it wouldn't be a big problem. They, a group of international police who claim to be righteous, will not hurt you."

"I'm not worried about Edogawa, and I don't care about him. I'm worried about you." Haibara still lowered her head, her small face shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see her facial expression.

"Most of the cases handled by Detective Maori must have had your intervention."

"...It seems so. You mean, their goal is to check me?"

"That's it." Lu Ren put his hand on Haiyuan's head and said with a smile, "Then there's no need to worry, I've been on the FBI blacklist for a long time. It's okay."

Haiyuan didn't answer.

"Okay, I'll take you back. Take a look when you pass by the office."

Lu Ren took back his hand, told Dabai to take care of his home, put on his windbreaker and walked out of the room, Haiyuan followed behind him.

Haiyuan sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, started the car, and began to drive steadily towards the destination.

She asked again: "Aren't you worried at all?"

"What's the use of worrying? What should come will come sooner or later. Ever since my identity was clear, I know that there will definitely be such a day, it's just a matter of sooner or later. It'll be okay, trust me."

"Ah."

……

Within a few minutes, they drove to the door of the office. Lu Ren parked the car on the side of the road and was about to go down to take a look when Hui Yuan called out to him.

"There are organized people in the phone booth next to me."

Ok?
  Could it be Belmod's men?

She never said anyone was placed here.

And if it had happened before, he would have definitely noticed it.

Lu Ren still has this bit of confidence.

Looking first before talking, Lu Ren restarted the car and began to slowly approach the phone booth.

It snowed heavily yesterday, and today it's not as heavy as yesterday, but it's not too light either.

It's reasonable to drive the car slower.

Slowly moving to the phone booth, Lu Ren glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

The person in the phone booth had his back to them, that is, facing the office.

This person is indeed monitoring the office.

Just how to say it.

Wearing a black windbreaker, a knitted hat, and a handful of curly hair slipping out of the hat, hanging down by her ears.

This……

Lu Ren calmly drove the car away until he sent Huiyuan to the doctor's house.

The car stopped in front of the doctor's house. Lu Ren looked at Huiyuan and said with a complicated expression:

"You don't know that person?"

"Should I know?"

"He is Shuichi Akai."

"Ah?" Haiyuan was startled and returned to his normal expression.

"I really haven't seen it. I just heard my sister talk about this guy. When he was in love with her, he went by the pseudonym Morohoshida. There are no photos or anything. It is said that he doesn't like taking pictures. I just heard my sister tell me about this guy. Characteristics: long hair, dark green eyes, and likes to drink coffee.”

"That's it." Lu Ren rubbed Huiyuan's head, "Get out of the car. I'll meet him when I get back."

"……This."

"Sooner or later, there will be a day like this. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Don't worry, it will be fine."

"Then I'll wait, eh."

Lu Ren raised his index finger, blocking Haiyuan's next words.

"Although I'm very strong, I'd better say goodbye to the flag."

"What flag, really..."

Huiyuan got out of the car and watched Lu Ren leave.

Weird guy.
