Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 340 I will update like lightning (5k)

The next morning, Mihua Department Store.

Lu Ren is taking Shimabukuro Kime here to buy things needed for Japan's Women's Day.

Through Bei Dao's extra lesson last night, Lu Ren had a general understanding of Japan's Girls' Day.

Japanese Girls' Festival, also known as Hina Matsuri. One of the five major folk festivals in Japan. On the day of the festival, those who have daughters at home will place dolls and offer diamond-shaped sticky cakes and peach blossoms to congratulate and pray for their daughters' happiness.

In addition, Bei Dao also told Lu Ren many other small details that needed attention. Due to limited space, we will not go into details here.

Therefore, in order not to make any mistakes and spend this Women's Day in an orderly manner, Lu Ren decided to shake people off.

Bei Dao, who is familiar with Girl's Day, was naturally the first choice, but it was a pity that she was too busy and couldn't spare the time.

Shiina was not free during her review, but even if she was free, Lu Ren would not consider her because he felt that she was unreliable.

Therefore, Riku Ren finally called up Shimabukuro Kimie, a former shrine maiden and now unemployed.

Perhaps it is a prejudice, Lu Ren always feels that the smaller the place, the more the people there pay attention to tradition. People in big places are busy making money, and even if they know about traditions, they can't spare time to make rituals. The leader will not approve leave.

Of course, those who have achieved financial freedom and even developed a family mostly pay attention to tradition and a sense of ritual.

However, this kind of discussion belongs to the external level and is not included in the scope of discussion.

Shimabukuro Kimie didn't see it that way. She didn't think Lu Ren pulling her over was the right choice at all.

"Boss, why don't you just find someone to do this? The store is very busy today."

Shimabukuro Kimie could still find time to complain while bargaining with the salesperson.

Lu Ren was sitting on the sofa in the store, and the old god said: "Does he pay you a salary?"

"not open."

"Shall I pay you a salary?"

"open."

"Then what are you complaining about?"

"...Well, because the store manager is nicer?"

"..."

Lu Ren choked up on the spot.

The salesperson who was bargaining with Shimabukuro Kimie covered her mouth and snickered, then resumed her poker face with professionalism and continued to insist on refusing to lower the price, determined not to save money for the capitalists.

When it comes to shopping, Lu Ren really doesn't have much patience. Like most of his male compatriots, he just decides to buy something if the price is about the same. He is the seller's favorite type of buyer.

The reason is also very simple. If you don’t live in a household, you don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Supporting a home is a very tiring job.

So sometimes when I buy something, I get a slap in the face because the thing is expensive, a few dollars or cents more than the market price. At times like this, just bow your head and admit your mistake. No matter what you think in your heart, don't say it out loud. It's not necessary.

For example, right now, Shimabukuro Kimie, who was checking out and paying and preparing to rush to the next shopping place, was still a little unfinished. She held the bag in her hand and said, "Boss, this thing can obviously be bargained for."

"That's not necessary." Lu Ren smiled evilly, "I can make more by saving the time I wasted on saving that money."

"It's so cool." Shimabukuro June covered his face, "You'd better stop talking, otherwise your face will be blinded in vain."

Lu · Listen to the advice · Shut up · The whole life failed · When a quiet handsome man Ren drove a Porsche and took Shimabukuro Kimie to the Rice Flower Building, where he once bought a Parada for Xiao Ai.

Dolls for Girls' Day are also sold at Mihua Department Store. But not good enough. The best one is over at Mihua Building.

In this era, the simple concept of ‘you get what you pay for’ is still adhered to. There is no such thing as an internet celebrity store. As long as the store is famous, it doesn’t matter whether the goods are good or bad.

……

After paying enough money and enjoying the best service, Lu Ren sent the masters who came to install the Dolls' Day dolls to the door and watched them leave.

It was almost dusk. Riku Renju watched the sunset at the door for a while, then turned around and returned to the house, where he found Shimabukuro Kimie who was still standing in front of the doll shelf.

The dolls Lu Ren bought have a total of seven layers. Each doll on the shelf starts at 20 centimeters. The entire shelf is nearly two meters high. If you put it up there, it will really look like a wall.

Shimabukuro Kimie stood in front of it, looking intently from above to below. "so good."

"Okay."

These dolls are fat and have extremely pale faces. They are as white as Japanese geishas. They are not cute at all. Lu Ren cannot appreciate them. He glanced briefly before looking away and asked, "Didn't you have it when you were a kid?"

"No." Shimabukuro Kime repeated no twice. She looked at Lu Ren with clear eyes and a calm expression. "My father died young and my mother has been playing the role of a longevity lady and has no time for these. Dolls for Girls' Day, I I’ve always been able to only look at other people’s homes.”

"That's it." Lu Ren sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, "Thank you for all the hard work you have done for so many years."

Suddenly, Shimabukuro Kime's nose and eyes felt sore, and her voice trembled unconsciously, "Actually..."

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back. It's not that the store is very busy, so go quickly." Lu Ren retracted his hand and gave the eviction order with a cold face.

Shimabukuro Kimie? ? ?

The face-changing master sent away Shimabukuro Kime, who was still a little distracted. There was no other reason, but we were all adults, so we should stop being too pretentious.

You politely feel sad, and I politely comfort you. It would be disrespectful to invest any amount of emotion. Otherwise, future meetings will be awkward.

After closing the door and going home and sitting on the sofa, Lu Ren first told Dabai to keep an eye on the orange and not let it destroy it.

The workmanship of these dolls is exquisite. In other words, they cannot withstand tossing, especially those of an 18-pound kitten.

Dabai promised.

So Lu Ren took out his cell phone with confidence, preparing to call Huiyuan and ask where she was.

Just before the call was about to be dialed, Lu Ren reacted and remembered that Hui Yuan had a biological sister.

Lu Ren called Miyano Akemi's phone and told her the whole thing.

But after he finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone. After a long time, Miyano Akemi spoke up and slowly talked about the past.

Haibara Ai, also known as Miyano Shiho, was sent to school in the United States when she was very young. Although her parents bought the doll for Miyano Akemi, due to her premature and unexpected death, Miyano Akemi sealed the doll and the painful memories together and never took it out again.

Haibara Ai, like Shimabukuro Kime, has never had a Dolls' Day doll of her own.

Lu Ren, who quietly listened to this past incident, felt bad in his heart. He looked at the wall-high doll and said, "Then I'll take it back."

"No, keep it. People can't live in the past forever. If it were you, Xiao Ai would be very happy."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ren licked two handfuls of oranges, quickly adjusted his mood, and dialed Huiyuan's number.

The call was answered within seconds. Lu Ren asked: "Xiao Ai, are you at the doctor's house now?"

"No. There is a mother-in-law who is going to give Ayumi a set of Dolls' Day dolls. We are now at this mother-in-law's house. But the family seems to have been broken into and lost some things. But Edogawa seems to have a clue. Jinge What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you to have dinner with me tonight. By the way, I just threw something, no one died?"

"I don't think so at the moment. The address here is xxx. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"immediately."

……

The place where Huiyuan is located is not far from Lu Ren's house, it only takes three to five minutes to drive.

Lu Ren, who arrived soon, raised his hand and knocked on the door. The young woman who opened the door looked puzzled. However, before she could ask a question, the policeman standing behind her pushed aside the hostess and greeted Lu Ren warmly. .

"Mr. Lu Ren, you are here. With you here, I think this case will be solved soon."

Then the policeman began to tell the hostess about Lu Ren's "great achievements."

The hostess soon showed a relieved expression.

Only Conan, who was standing not far behind them, pursed his lips, somewhat unwillingly. At this time, he already knew who the prisoner was, and he just needed to reveal the final step, but Lu Ren came.

Don’t open the forest ╭(╯^╰)╮.

"Wait a minute." Lu Ren interrupted the conversation between the hostess and the police. "I just came here to find my child. This is the case you are talking about."

Lu Ren pointed at Conan, "He can break it."

What Haiyuan said on the phone before was very clear. This was just a theft, and no one was killed. You can’t earn draws. It’s better not to steal Conan’s business.

Especially since Conan probably already knew who the prisoner was, Lu Ren saw as soon as he opened the door that Conan's little mouth could hang a wine bottle. “Mr. Lu Ren, you are joking again.” The police leader showed an embarrassed expression, but Lu Ren and the others just accepted it. The group of violent maniacs who searched Section 1 and Section 2 were not as good as Lu Ren. Wouldn't it be more normal for Section 3, who was responsible for the theft case, to be inferior to Lu Ren?

But even if they are not as good as a primary school student, primary school students can solve crimes faster than them. The policeman with the afro felt that he still needed to save face.

"I'm not kidding." Lu Ren closed the door and lowered his voice slightly, "You know about yesterday's bombing."

"I know, I know." The little policeman nodded repeatedly, "That report was written by you. I read it and it was really good. I just didn't expect that kid Takagi to get in first."

Speaking of this, the little policeman gritted his teeth. The colleagues next to me also gritted their teeth.

It is conceivable that Takagi's future will definitely not be easy. Of course it has nothing to do with Lu Ren.

After half a second of silence for Takagi, Lu Ren continued: "Oh, yes. You are also a policeman, and you are colleagues with Takagi. In this case, you should know who solved the mystery left by the prisoner. "

"You mean?" The little policeman seemed to understand.

"Yes, that's him." Lu Ren pointed at Conan, "Now I believe he can solve this case."

"Uh-huh."

After dismissing the police, Lu Ren walked to Conan, "I'll leave this case to you." He looked around, "Where is Xiao Ai? In the bedroom?"

Conan raised his head and glanced at Lu Ren, "You came up by the elevator, right? Haiyuan is at the top of the stairs. Go out and turn right to the end. There is a large glass window there."

"Row."

Lu Ren went out again and quickly found Huiyuan and the painting hidden in his heart.

A red sun was half-hidden behind the clouds and exposed in front of people. Its bloody afterglow shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the base of the wall and on the first step of the stairs. Huiyuan, who was wearing a windbreaker, leaned on the corner. She crossed her arms and turned to look at the sunset and the sea of ​​clouds.

The warm and colorful light fell on her body, and the world was as quiet as a medieval oil painting, breathtakingly beautiful and priceless.

Haiyuan, who had the radar of the winery, must have noticed Lu Ren's arrival, but she did not look back, but continued to look at the sunset quietly, as if she wanted to carve this moment into her memory forever.

Lu Ren didn't say anything and looked at Sunset and her quietly.

After a long time, Haiyuan turned around and whispered in a sigh-like tone: "It's so beautiful."

At this moment, she walked out of the painting, came to the human world, and came to Lu Ren's side.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Lu Ren replied.

"Case solved?"

"I don't know, maybe. After all, Conan is here."

"Too."

Lu Ren took a few steps forward and sat on the top step. Haiyuan looked at the steps and hesitated for a moment, then sat next to Lu Ren.

We continued to look out the window with him, watching the sunset move down little by little, pointing our fingers quickly. When he was alone here before, Haiyuan felt that time passed very slowly. She had enough time to watch the sunset and red clouds, and feel the unique sadness and loneliness.

Now, she only feels happy, everything is happy except sadness.

"When I was in elementary school, my Chinese teacher always liked to ask us to write some reflections. Although it was only a short essay of four to five hundred words, it was a nightmare for me at that time. Reflections Afterwards, I observed it, but I just didn’t feel it. I was really at a loss for words and couldn’t come up with anything.”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "I remember when I was able to write about the sunset, 'The sun is like a red apple.' After I handed it in, the teacher praised me for my imagination. But I actually copied it from the composition book. Later, as long as I wrote about the sun, I would Just write it looks like a red apple, even if the composition has nothing to do with the sun."

Huiyuan also raised the corner of her lips. She liked Lu Ren telling his own story very much, "Then if you want to write about the moon, is it like 'Mother-in-law Moon is a big yellow pear?'"

"How is that possible? The moon is a white jade plate."

Haiyuan? ? ?

"A child who doesn't know the moon calls it a white jade plate."

Looking at Lu Ren who was taking it for granted, Haiyuan was silent for a while and sighed, "This should be your unique cultural confidence in China. No one in any other place would think that a child knows that the moon is a white jade plate. It’s taken for granted and taken for granted.”

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then continued to smile: "It seems so."

He looked at the sunset on the horizon, "What about you, if you were to write this review, what would you write?"

Haiyuan glared at him, his tone a bit fierce, "I'm not a child."

"Let's talk about it."

"..., it should be sadness." She held her chin, "The color is like blood. It is the last sun or the end of the sun."

Haiyuan's words were not coherent and fragmented. But Lu Ren understood what she wanted to express.

sad……

Sure enough, this is it...

Exactly the same as he remembered.

When Lu Ren was reading a book before, he saw a word called "Twilight Anxiety Disorder."

Specifically speaking, when people see the sunset, they will feel a sudden sense of loss. Generally, babies aged 7-10 months will feel restless and cry endlessly at dusk. But it's not just babies. Many people who lack adult care and companionship in childhood will subconsciously have a fear of abandonment. This is the source of their fear and anxiety when they see the sun set.

Recalling what Miyano Akemi said on the phone earlier, Lu Ren guessed that Haiyuan probably had twilight anxiety. After hearing her express her feelings about Sunset, he became more certain of his guess.

It's a pity that the book only said that there is such a symptom, but it did not say how to treat this symptom.

Talk therapy? still……

Lu Ren thought for a long time, until Huiyuan began to call him, and for a long time they came over one after another.

But after thinking about it for so long, he still hasn't come up with a solution that he feels is feasible.

Lu Ren retracted his thoughts and looked at Conan and the others, "Is the case solved?"

Conan nodded and was nudged by Wubaizi behind him, and said, "We want to take a photo with Haiyuan."

"Are you here?"

"Ah."

"Then you take pictures."

Lu Ren got out of the way and watched as the five little ones sat in two rows, with Conan Ayumi at the top and the other three at the bottom. After a moment of noise, they lined up again.

Ayumi held Conan's arm, Genta Mitsuhiko pulled Conan hard, and Haibara sat on the edge with a stern face, looking very impatient.

only……

【Homo sapiens (happy)】

That’s all. Why do you think so much?

The shutter sounded, and Lu Ren whispered to the hostess holding the camera, "Please develop one more photo."

"No problem." The hostess smiled, "Sir, would you like to take a photo too?"

"Me?"

"Well, such a beautiful sunset."

"Alright."

Lu Ren walked over, and the three of them ran away and ran to the hostess.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Ren didn't want to be on camera with him.

Lu Ren is sitting in the middle, with Conan on the left and Huiyuan on the right. He raised his hand and placed it on their heads. The three of them stuck together and took a photo under the setting sun.

The shutter sound sounded quickly, and then Conan stood up directly and slipped to the hostess's side. Lu Ren also prepared to stand up, but was pulled by his sleeve.

At this time, Lu Ren was facing a silent, small request.

"Well, look at my brain." Lu Ren shifted his gaze, looked at the hostess, and said loudly: "You are tired, please help me take some more pictures."

"no problem."

ps1: When I checked the information, I found that we also have Women’s Day. Every year, the third day of March, the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and the seventh day of July can all be Women's Day. Japanese Girl's Day originated from us. The author only thinks of this holiday and doesn’t know about it. Ignorant and ignorant.

ps2: The gray field under the sunset is one of the author's favorite scenes.
