Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 333 Black Star Coffee Shop

[Homo sapiens (trance/distracted/sad/worried)]

It was now a quarter past nine in the evening, and Miwako Sato was walking alone on the street, a few feet away from Riku Ren. However, due to Riku Ren's thin presence or other reasons, Sato did not notice this.

Lu Ren was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to give Sato an appraisal.

then……

As mentioned at the beginning, numerous and complex negative emotions were switching back and forth in Sato's head like a revolving lantern.

You don't need to think about it to know that Sato's current mental state is extremely poor.

As for why this is the case...

Lu Ren put on a marginal mask, passed by Sato, and disappeared smoothly into the crowd.

Nothing to do with him.

……

The next afternoon, Lu Ren drove the five little ones to Abedo Amusement Park.

Before getting off the bus, Lu Ren gave Haiyuan 30,000 yen to use for their amusement park expenses.

Haiyuan did not shirk, he took it calmly, put the money into the small bag on his waist, and then asked:
  "Together?"

"No, the newspaper office is urging you to publish the article. You guys have fun and call me when you want to go back. I'll pick you up again."

"Ah."

After watching Huiyuan and the others enter the amusement park, Lu Ren started the car, turned around and went straight to the grocery store.

It's rare to come to Abeido Town, and I haven't had much to do lately, so I just wanted to get together with my brother.

As for the newspaper's urging for articles...

Well, writing is something you can’t rush.

And there haven't been any big cases recently. As for the waste of money to write a black manuscript, this matter has been settled by Suntoshi.

After Lu Ren changed his writing style from domineering and extreme to restrained and implicit, the level of his black manuscripts was not as good as before in terms of sense.

After all, not everyone can understand the yin and yang that is mixed between the lines.

Some people with poor reading comprehension skills may even think that Lu Ren is complimenting others.

In addition, the reborn Lu Ren is not as limitless as his predecessor.

In view of this, Sato Kiyoshi blamed Kitajima Shino for writing the black manuscript, and Kitajima pushed it to Mori Atsushi.

Facts have proved that letting Suntonshi do this is very effective. Suntonshi is undoubtedly professional when it comes to attacking and biting others.

Moreover, his reputation is even lower than that of Lu Ren's predecessor, and his writing skills are not bad.

The Japanese, who are steeped in the spirit of chuuni, also gave Sentoshi a title.

"Mad dog."

It is extremely aggressive, so be prepared to bleed heavily if you are targeted.

It's just that it's the same black manuscript, Lu Ren is the pen of God, and Sentoshi is the mad dog.

"Appearance is justice" is a universal truth.

The righteous Lu Ren drove the car to the door of the grocery store. However, what surprised him was that the grocery store was not open.

Lu Ren thought for a while, then took out his cell phone and called his elder brother.

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.

Are you busy?
  Lu Ren sat in the car and waited for a while, but still didn't get his brother's call back. Lu Ren restarted the car and found a cafe nearby to sit.

This cafe is called Black Star. The manager is a bald man who looks about fifty years old.

Lu Ren sat at the bar and ordered this restaurant's signature hand-ground coffee.

The boss slowly shook the hand grinder, and Lu Ren looked around.

There is nothing to say about the decoration style of the store. It is very ordinary. Perhaps the only thing worthy of attention is that there is a whiteboard hanging on the wall behind the boss. The whiteboard is covered with photos taken by the boss and other people.

Lu Ren glanced at it and found that there was no one in the photos that he remembered.

They are probably the boss's regular customers or some less famous actors, but the popular star Lu Ren still recognizes them.

The business of this coffee shop is similar to that of the Rice Krispies Cafe. There are only three or two customers in the shop. They sit separately, lowering their heads and not talking, quietly sipping coffee.

The store was so silent that Lu Ren could even hear his own breathing.

This feeling made Lu Ren a little uncomfortable. He calmed down and prepared to leave immediately after drinking coffee.

After a while, the store manager pushed the steaming coffee in front of Lu Ren.

"Please drink it while it's hot." "Yes."

Lu Ren took a sip and found that the taste was surprisingly good.

It has clear layers and a mellow taste. It was the best coffee he had ever tasted.

The cup was quickly consumed. Lu Ren looked at the price on the wall, took out a Zhang Wanqian and put it on the table.

“The coffee is delicious, I will come again next time.”

"Walk slowly."

The store door opened and closed, and the customers who had been silent before raised their heads in unison.

Whispers broke the quiet atmosphere in the store.

"Human, long time no see."

"What a lucky boy."

"It's quite generous. I gave him ten thousand yuan. Those guys who came before didn't even give me any money."

"Just like you gave me."

"That can be the same."

The store manager did not join them. He lowered his head to wipe the tea cup and continued to remain silent as before.

……

After leaving the cafe and sitting back in the car, Lu Ren turned on the car stereo and stretched to the rhythm of the music.

The coffee in that shop is delicious and the price is very reasonable.

If Mihua Cafe had coffee of this level, Lu Ren could drink four or five cups a day.

As for this Black Star, forget it.

He really didn't like the environment, it was too dull and depressing.

Now that I think about it, that store didn't even have a window, and the lights were very dim.

No wonder there are so few guests.

As for now, it’s better to change to a coffee shop to write, and order a piece of cake by the way. For some reason, Lu Ren is a little hungry now.

As soon as Lu Ren started the car, his cell phone rang.

Big brother called.

Lu Ren answered the phone, "Brother, where have you been? The store is closed."

"Hokkaido, my daughter's house. Didn't I put a notice on the door? Didn't you see it?"

"Notice?" Lu Ren recalled for a moment, "There's nothing posted on the door."

"Damn it. Then some little bastard probably tore it up for me. Forget it, never mind. But you, where were you just now? I called you several times but there is no signal."

"I was drinking coffee just now, and the signal there may not be very good." Lu Ren replied, and then said, "Brother, the coffee in this cafe near your home is really good. When you come back, let's go drink it together again. "

Xiong Jianguo: "Okay. But I remember there is no cafe near my home. Could it be a new one opened after I left these two days?"

"Probably not. I think that store is quite old. I guess the business is too poor. Brother, you have no impression of it."

"Really?" Hearing Lu Ren's determination, Xiong Jianguo was also a little unsure. He thought for a moment and replied, "It's possible. You can take a photo and let me see."

"okay."

Lu Ren got out of the car with his cell phone. He turned around, looked at the coffee shop before, and yelled a standard Chinese curse.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. Brother, I have something to do here. I'll hang up first."

After saying that, without waiting for his elder brother's reply, Lu Ren hung up the phone. He got back in the car, restarted the car, and quickly left the place.

Counting from the first day after his rebirth, Lu Ren swore that this was the day his heart beat the fastest.

Almost speeding, he drove very far until there was a traffic jam.

Lu Ren picked up the phone and dialed Koizumi Hongzi.

"Is something wrong?"

"...Are there ghosts in this world?"

The previous Black Star Coffee Shop, when Lu Ren looked at it again, had turned into a long-abandoned shop with a sign for lease on the door.

Encountered a ghost.
