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

Chapter 232 Everyone is playing badly
"How can we stop Conan from going there..."

Lie touched his chin and said, "It feels a bit difficult, eh?"

"Indeed." Hiroki nodded. "After all, the college classmate of the inviter, Uncle Maori, Xiaolan, is also going back. Unless the first two people are stopped from going, Conan will definitely..."

"Then how about we organize an event to kidnap them?"

"It's unlikely. A murder happened in that building last night. Noah eavesdropped on it. Conan is still in the Metropolitan Police Department. The party started as usual. I guess Conan won't let it go."

Hiroki sighed.

Lie also felt that the situation was difficult to handle. He held his chin and thought for a while, "How about we go with them? I can defuse the bomb while we're at it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Noah expressed his objection: "I don't agree with Lord Lie's suggestion. Lord Ren meant for us to stay away from Nishitama City as much as possible... Besides, Lord Ren is the only one who knows that there is a bomb in the building. If Lord Lie dismantles the bomb, it may lead to Lord Ren being exposed."

"Ah~ In that case..."

Lie made a bitter face and spread his hands: "Then there is no other way, right?"

"Indeed." Hiroki nodded and sat in front of the computer to read emails. "But the good news is that Uncle Blade should be nearby."

"Where's Brother Jing?"

"Uncle Jing didn't come with us this time. He said he was tutoring the kids at home..."

Hiroki opened the email and simply relayed it.

Lie was a little surprised now: "Jing didn't go with him? Wasn't he supposed to look after that little girl?"

Sawada Hiroki turned around and said, "Uncle Jing said that the place was quite remote and he would be too conspicuous if he followed him, so he asked another person to replace him..."

"...Wouldn't it be that Xiao Xie was allowed to go?"

The corner of Lie's mouth twitched.

"Seems to be."

"..."

My goodness, even Brother Jing has started to slack off openly, so what reason does he have not to?
Thinking of this, Lie just threw himself on the sofa like a pancake and shouted:

"Ahhh! I don't care, this is so troublesome~ Chengshi, when is lunch?"

Cheng Shi's speechless voice came from the kitchen:

"Come on! It's only been five minutes and I'm still washing vegetables!"

Why does he feel that Lord Lie is just a giant baby? It's so troublesome!

Hiroki rubbed his flat belly and sighed, "So, just ignore Conan?"

"…How can we manage that? Didn't Brother Ren forbid us to go there?"

"..."

Hongshu felt exhausted seeing Lie playing so badly.

The main thing is that Uncle Blade did not necessarily ask them to stop Conan this time, otherwise even if their identities were exposed, they would definitely keep Conan and the others nearby.

"Noah, didn't Uncle Blade say anything else?" Hiroki was a little depressed.

It's really hard to understand what Uncle Blade asked them to do this time - should Conan stop him or not? If he doesn't stop them, they can't go with him, which would conflict with the mission of protecting them?

"Master Blade didn't explain, and he sounded anxious." Noah said in a heavy tone, "One of the people in the organization has doubted Master Blade and has been testing him recently. I'm afraid Master Blade is also very distressed..."

"Is this happening!?"

Hiroki's face changed.

"Yes." Noah said affirmatively, "But after all, it's the organization's business, so it's difficult for us to interfere."

Hiroki fell silent, and Rei, who was lying on the sofa, also stopped talking.

Gin is now fighting alone and has no one to rely on.

Until everything is back on track.

-

Tokyo, Ekoda. Today was another day off, and Kuroba Kaito slept until noon.

"Let me see... There aren't any gems recently."

As soon as he got up, he turned on his computer and started checking the latest gem exhibition information.

But unfortunately, his victims haven't shown their financial strength recently, even Shiro Suzuki has gone silent.

Weird, so weird.

Kaito didn't see the gem, and suddenly fell back on the bed like a salted fish who had lost his dream.

However, someone came up to stop his lazy behavior:

"Master Kaito, lunch is ready."

Terai Huang Zhisuke's voice came from outside the room.

Kuroba Kaito slowly got up again, "Okay, I'll be right there..."

After changing into daily clothes, he walked downstairs slowly.

There were already two people at the table.

In addition to Terai Huang Zhisuke, another person...

"Sleeping in is not a good habit, Master Kaito."

The slightly thin old woman pushed her reading glasses and put down the newspaper in her hand.

"What does it matter? Anyway, there's no class and no action." Kuroba Kaito yawned, looking unusually indifferent. "Besides, Phantom Thieves usually come out at night, just like night owls. I have to catch up on my sleep when I have nothing to do..."

Otherwise, he might die suddenly at a young age.

He also heard that Uncle Blade could stay awake for days and nights, which was really terrifying...

Kuroba Kaito sat down at his seat while talking, picked up a broccoli and put it in his mouth to chew: "By the way, Grandma Chiken, what did you think about what I said before? You also saw the last sentence, right?"

The old lady sitting opposite Terai Yosuke was none other than Senken Kyouyo, who was rescued by Kaito not long ago.

"Of course I did."

Qianjian Jiangdai took a sip of soup and took out a stack of documents from the seat next to him. "It's like a pyramid scheme. There's no room for choice."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."

When Kuroba Kaito heard this adjective, he accidentally spat out some cauliflower.

Pyramid scheme...After hearing what Qianjian Jiangdai said, he also had the illusion that he had joined a pyramid scheme.

Terai Huang Zhisuke looked at his young master worriedly.

Master Kaito wouldn't have felt nothing all this time, right?

Chima Kyouyo looked at Kaito who was laughing so hard that he was spitting out his food, and smiled kindly, "So, whether I respond or not, the result won't change, right? Mr. Thief."

“…Well, that’s right.”

Kaito scratched his cheek, his expression still indifferent, "However, if you don't plan to sign the contract, you will not be considered an official member, but you will be pushed out to take the blame."

"That doesn't matter. Anyway, you guys saved my life in the first place. I don't mind taking it away if you need it."

Qianjian Jiangdai put down the documents, spoke in a casual tone, picked up the cutlery and started eating.

Kuroba Kaito scratched his head in annoyance, "Ah~ Mother-in-law, I really can't stand you anymore..."

He had been trying to persuade her for several days, but Qianjian Jiangdai had been holding this attitude since the first day.

Kaito actually really wanted to bring people in, because he also spent a year in the Five Star Team, and the internal structure and rules were actually not complicated, and were especially suitable for people like Chima Kyoudai who had lives on their hands.

It doesn’t mean that all murderers can join the five-star group. Acceptance into the five-star group also depends on the circumstances.

A crime like that committed by Chikan Jyoudai is not considered a heinous murder.

At least Kaito thought it could still be saved.
