Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 565: Love
The next day, Maori Detective Agency.

"Strawberry Duo? What's that?"

"It's a very popular comedy duo recently. Brother Ren, don't you know about it?"

Looking at Lu Ren, who had a confused look on his face but did not seem to be pretending, Mao Lilan was very surprised.

"Uh..." Lu Ren put down the detective novel in his hand, thought for a moment and asked, "Is Miss Yoko popular?"

"You can't compare them like that. Miss Yoko is not of the same style as them."

"Oh, that means you're not as popular as Miss Yoko." Lu Ren understood, "No wonder I didn't know."

Except for the evergreen Yoko Okino, all other celebrity artists who suddenly became popular in the science world are basically short-lived.

Some of them have become obsolete and forgotten by the crowd, but more of them are forced to perform for God himself.

Looking back at Conan's twenty years, um, now it should be thirty years. Conan and his team have sent a lot of entertainment celebrities to heaven. They can be said to be conscientious and pay tribute to a few every year.

"Tell me, how did you target this Strawberry Duo?" Lu Ren asked with interest.

"Oh, they were targeted by us because..." Mao Lilan subconsciously picked up the middle of the sentence, and then reacted and said angrily, "Brother Ren, what are you talking about?"

"Sorry, sorry, my word choice is not very accurate." Lu Ren smiled and raised the book in his hand. "You also know that if you deal with words for a long time, you will become unfamiliar with dealing with people."

"Is that so?"

Mao Lilan was puzzled.

"Yes." Lu Ren nodded affirmatively.

Conan, who had been listening in silence, turned his back and secretly rolled his eyes to the sky.

"Let's talk about the Strawberry Duo. Did they come to Maori brother for help because of something they encountered?"

With Kogoro Maori's stable lifestyle (agency - pinball shop - izakaya), Lu Ren doesn't think any celebrity group can have any intersection with Maori outside of the agency.

The requirements for artists in Japan are quite high. The agencies have many rules and restrictions, and they themselves are quite careful about their reputation. At least they will not go to places where they can be easily photographed by paparazzi.

"Yes." Mao Lilan nodded slightly, "Ms. Asako from the duo asked Dad to find her ex-boyfriend Numata."

"Want to rekindle our past relationship?"

"No, it's her ex-boyfriend who has been blackmailing Miss Asako since she became popular. Recently, he has even stalked her. And there are signs that the door of Miss Asako's house has been pried open these past two days."

As she spoke, Mao Lilan clenched her fists and said angrily, "If I meet this bastard who bullies girls, I will never let him go."

"Did you hear that? Don't bully girls--" Lu Ren touched Conan's head happily.

Conan???

"Brother Ren, Conan is still young."

"Many habits are developed from childhood. If you don't teach them now, it will be too late to teach them later." Lu Ren holds a different opinion on this.

"But I heard that there is a little girl in Conan's class, I think her name is Ayumi, who likes Conan very much. But Conan has been keeping her hanging. He neither agrees nor refuses."

In just a few words, Conan's mood went up and down rapidly, seamlessly transitioning from shock to confusion.

Not a buddy?

If you really want to say it, it is true, but Conan simply regarded it as a child's joke.

But how can a first grader understand what liking and love are?

Therefore, Conan didn't take it to heart at all, and he was also worried that a tough rejection would hurt the child's feelings.

In the first 500 words, the three of them had been made miserable by Lu Ren's actions.

He is a famous detective, he can't add insult to injury.

So when faced with Ayumi's confession, Edogawa Conan did not express his feelings directly, but instead used the strategy of procrastination, leaving everything to time. Besides, can a first-grade girl's shy and timid expression, where she couldn't even say the word "like" directly, really be considered a confession?
This is what happened. But why did it sound so different when Lu Ren said it?

Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes and subconsciously lowered her voice, "Conan, is this true?"

"Sister Xiaolan, please listen to my explanation..."

Under Edogawa Conan's confession that was like a curse and oath, Mao Li Ran tentatively believed his words.

She bent down and gave Conan some careful instructions, then went upstairs to find Mouri Kogoro.

Perhaps it was the long-winded style that was typical of famous detectives, Conan's confession was a bit lengthy, and by the time he finished his explanation, it was almost time for the agreed meeting.

After watching Mao Lilan go upstairs, Conan closed the door gently and said faintly: "Brother Ren, have I offended you in any way recently?"

"Maybe not."

"and you!"

"If you go on, you will find it."

"That's okay."

……

Miss Asako's full name is Fujimori Asako. This time she invited Mori and others to her house to attend her birthday party.

On the way to the appointment, Maori even stopped at a flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers.

"I feel a little embarrassed to say this. I haven't even finished the commission yet, but Ms. Asako still invited me."

"The commission is not completed... Brother, didn't you catch that guy named Numata?"

Lu Ren couldn't help but be a little surprised. As an old criminal policeman, Mao Li's ability to solve cases under normal circumstances might be a little lacking, but in terms of tracking and stalking, he is well-trained and has no problem with his ability.

After nearly a week of ambush, they still didn't catch a greedy guy? Could it be that he was a talent who had undergone multiple trainings in prison?

"No." Mao Li was a little annoyed when talking about this. "I tried everything, but I couldn't find this guy. Now I can only temporarily change the door lock of Miss Asako's house."

"Well. This is the only way. Maybe that guy saw you, the famous detective, and felt like quitting, so he quietly slipped away." Lu Ren praised Mao Li.

"Hahaha, I think so."

Lu Ren: "By the way, today is Miss Chaozi's birthday. Her partner should be there too, right?"

"Of course. Mr. Imaoka and Ms. Asako are a couple."

"Couple? You mean, they are both partners and lovers?"

Mao Lilan nodded.

"That's not good. It's better to keep business and feelings separate."

After all, talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money.

In Lu Ren's impression, this kind of romantic relationship between artist groups generally won't last long.

"It's OK. They love each other very much. I heard that Mr. Imaoka wanted to give up his acting career, but it was Ms. Asako who encouraged and supported him. They supported each other and have come this far."

Ran Mao Li has always had a simple and beautiful vision of love.

There are many people in the world who have such aspirations, but unfortunately, there are almost no people who can stick to this idea to the end.

"Well, maybe."

The benefactor became the lover.

In addition, Lu Ren looked down at Edogawa Conan again. He always felt that this birthday party would be unique, or in other words, open up his heart...
