Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 171 Lie's Assignment
"I recorded everything that happened that day with my camera, but you were so busy cleaning up the crime scene that you didn't notice me."

"hateful!!"

Seeing the camera held up by Robert, Takeda Shinichi pretended to grab it.

Unexpectedly, Lie, who had been pretending to be an air man, threw the man to the ground with his hand...

"That Negishi guy is too greedy! He actually wanted to take away the half of the reward that belonged to me... That woman Juandai also deserves to die! They all deserved it, they deserved to be killed by me!"

Perhaps knowing that his plot had been exposed, Takeda Shinichi fell to the ground with a face as ferocious as a devil...

Takeda Misa looked at her father in disbelief.

She actually knew that she was not Takeda Shinichi's biological daughter...

But I never expected that he actually killed his own mother!
"So you admit that you killed the person?"

Lie leaned over and asked with a smile.

"So what?!" Takeda Shinichi looked at Lie angrily.

"Yes, that's easy."

Hattori Heiji and Conan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Robert, "Mr. Robert, did you record the scene just now?"

"Yes, I recorded it all." Robert nodded, then looked at Misa, "I'm sorry to make you go through this."

"It's okay, thank you Robert."

Misa Takeda shook her head, grabbed Robert's hand and leaned on his shoulder.

If it weren't for him, I might not know the real cause of my mother's death.

It was only then that Shinichi Takeda realized that he had been deceived - these people had no substantial evidence at all!

Finally, he looked at Lie, who was smiling, and fainted from anger.

So, after Takeda Shinichi was taken away by the police, Maori Kogoro's commission was once again lost -

It was very strange. Every time he went out with Conan or Lie, either the client died or the client killed someone, and in the end, he got nothing except the deposit...

"Eh? Mr. Lin isn't going back with us?"

Mao Lilan looked at Lie in confusion.

Lie smiled and pushed Hiroki, who had been paddling all day, into Xiaolan's arms, "Yes, isn't this Little Robert's photo studio? I plan to go and see if there is a good background, and take photos with Dr. Asai some other day."

Mao Lilan suddenly became excited: "Wow! Has Mr. Lin and Dr. Asai made such rapid progress?"

It turns out that gossip is human nature.

"No, no, that's it~"

Lie scratched his head as if embarrassed.

His expression made Hiroki, who knew him well, observe a second of silence for Asai Narimi.

Far away in Beika Town, Cheng Shi, who was watching the news, sneezed for no reason.

-

Because of the Takeda family's affairs, Takeda Misa stayed at her own home temporarily, and only Robert drove Lie to Misasa Town.

At the end of the alley.

A solitary photo studio sits here.

After Robert invited Lie in, he looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, sir. My humble house is so simple. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's okay~" Lie looked at him with amusement, "Brother Ren doesn't care about these, right?"

Hearing the familiar code name, Robert finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed:
"Excuse me... Are you Lord Lie? I didn't expect to see you in such a remote place."

Lie shrugged: "Well~ I didn't intend to come, but when I saw you on the list, I decided to follow... I didn't expect you to be so smart." "Ah? Are you talking about the riddle?"

Robert scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but his tone was very serious: "If I can't hear such an obvious hint, how can I be worthy of the title of 'Di Ming'?"

A member of the Dixing genus, Dimingxing, active in Misasa-cho, Tottori Prefecture, with the code name of the operation being "Take Misasa".

The riddle of the stars is the secret code they use to confirm their identities to each other.

Because they usually hide their true identities when they act, so if they really meet in their true colors, they may not know that the other person is their own.

Of course, as one of the leaders, Rei naturally has the detailed information of his subordinates given to him by Gin.

But Robert had never seen Lie's true face before, so he didn't know that Lie was one of his own...

So there came the riddle.

Robert was originally a subordinate of Shadow in the United States. He came to Japan of his own accord to work under Gin.

The star that the shadow refers to is Venus…which is also the morning star.

'Meteor' naturally refers to him, the star that is wandering outside.

"Master Lie, I wonder what happened to Master Ren?" Thinking of the puzzle at the beginning, Robert suddenly became serious, "Has 'Night' started to act?"

Lord Lie would not come to him for no reason, and without any notice...

"It's not a big deal..."

Lie patted Robert comfortingly, "It is true that there is movement over there at 'Night', but don't worry, Brother Blade is just not able to move."

After that, Lie took out a pack of photos from his backpack.

——The photos show street scenes captured from multiple angles, but without exception, there are several men in black in each photo.

The photos were almost always taken in winter. These people in black were wrapped in thick coats, wearing wide-brimmed hats or sunglasses. They were either on the phone or seemed to be waiting for someone...

"Are these... the people from 'Night'?" Robert narrowed his eyes, looked up after flipping through a few photos, and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Find a way to get foreign newspapers to publish these photos, especially these few..."

Lie clicked on three of the photos.

The protagonists of these three photos are not men in black, but three famous politicians in Japanese politics.

In the photo, they are shopping like ordinary people, but... if you look closely, you can find that there is always a shadow of a man in black at a distance behind them, almost at the edge of the photo.

Lie looked at him with a smile: "Is it okay? It's mainly about the United States."

"Hey...don't worry, Master Lie. I had connections with many newspapers and magazines in the United States."

Robert smiled proudly.

After all, he graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in photography. If he hadn't come to Japan, he could have become a professional photographer in the United States.

"Then I'll leave it to you~" Lie patted Robert's shoulders twice, "By the way, you must be careful not to reveal your identity."

"I will be careful."

Robert nodded solemnly.

Looking at the content of the photo, he roughly knew that the organization was setting up a trap.

Lie was relieved to see that Robert was not under any pressure, and waved his hand: "Then I'll leave it to you, little Robert. I'll go first~"

"Eh? Don't you want me to take you there? Aren't you..."

"It's okay~ I can just take a taxi back!"

Robert watched Lie go away, bowed silently, and then returned to the photo studio to deal with the task that Lie had personally assigned to him.
