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

Chapter 476 Hypnosis Sequelae

The Dilisha Hotel near the Central Theater.

Even Kuroba Kaito, who has plenty of money, rarely comes to this expensive restaurant.

——The main reason is that it’s far from his home, expensive, and not as good as the restaurants near his home.

Coming here to eat is more for the symbolic meaning...that's why Kuroba Kaito suspected that Gin had "evil intentions".

But obviously, Kaito was overthinking this time.

This time, Gin was very bold and ordered a table full of dishes, which was more than enough for ten people. However, Kaito and his two companions who arrived later looked at him with disdain.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Sit down and eat."

Gin bit a piece of eel and called the three little ones over.

He chose a round table, and Vermouth sat next to him, also giving the three little ones a friendly smile.

"Hello, hello! I'm Nakamori Aoko! I'm Kaito's classmate. You must be Kaito's uncle, right?"

Nakamori Aoko had the illusion that she was meeting the parents. She lowered her head, stuttered, and was very reserved.

Kuroba Kaito's mouth twitched, and seeing Gin's slightly teasing smile, he took a breath and grinned:
"Qingzi, let me introduce you, this is my uncle... Black Feather Blade!"

"……puff!"

Gin almost spit out the fish skin.

Well, he has a new name?
Vermouth covered her mouth with her hands, and it was obvious that she was laughing inside.

but……

At this time, Nakamori Aoko also noticed Vermouth and blinked: "Then, this aunt is..."

Belmode: "..."

……Aunt?
...Well, I'm at this age now, so I'll just call her aunt.

When Kuroba Kaito was struggling with how to introduce Vermouth, Nakamori Aoko had already figured out the relationship in her mind, "Ah! You are Kaito's aunt, right?"

Everyone was stunned.

Vermouth seemed to think that this identity was reasonable, "Ah, you can say that... You can call me Chris."

Kaito was a little stunned: "Aoko, how did you figure that out?"

"Because, Aunt Chris and Uncle Ren both have very light hair color, and their expressions just now were surprisingly consistent! They must be siblings, right?" Nakamori Aoko happily thought she had it all right.

Vermouth, who had a somewhat shaky expression when she heard the word "Auntie", was stunned for a moment when she heard "brother and sister", and then she smiled wantonly:
"Ah~ Kaito, your girlfriend has very good observation skills."

Gin: "..."

It’s not bad at all, anyone with eyes can see that Vermouth is older than him, okay?

Gin, who was much older than him, was a little dissatisfied.

And Kuroba Kaito's face suddenly turned red.

No matter how he explained to Nakamori Aoko that they were just friends, it was useless...

Only Koizumi Hongzi had sat down alone, looking indifferent to the world - she did not share the joys and sorrows of others, she only felt it was noisy.

……

The meal was eaten in a weird atmosphere.

Strangely enough, after finishing their meal, Kaito and Hongko's inexplicable tiredness disappeared, but Aoko, who was very energetic before, felt a little sleepy.

Hearing them talking about this, Gin kindly talked about this magic show, reminding them that this kind of performance is actually a form of hypnosis and is harmful to the body, and they should try to watch it less in the future.

He also cited three cases of people feeling sleepy as evidence.

After successfully frightening the three people, Gin found someone to go home to talk to Kaito, and asked Vermouth to take the two girls home first. Vermouth also knew that there was probably something that was difficult to tell her, so she didn't stay here. After putting on sunglasses, she walked away with the two little girls, talking and laughing - Chrissie Wynyard's identity is still somewhat well-known. Although it is not common in Japan, it is still easy to attract attention when walking on the street with her original appearance, so she needs to disguise herself to some extent.

After everyone else left, Kaito, who was still avoiding the fish and picking other leftovers to eat, came to his senses and looked up at Gin:

"Uncle Ren, what's the matter with you looking for me?"

"...Originally it was fine." Gin glanced around and focused his voice to prevent it from spreading to the surrounding area. "Originally I just wanted to talk to you about this illusion."

"Oh...Uncle Ren, didn't you just say that this is hypnosis?" Kuroba Kaito bit his chopsticks and opened his big curious eyes.

Gin continued to pick up a piece of eel fillet: "That was not ordinary hypnosis... You were all in a hallucination at the time and didn't know the real scene outside. As for the details... forget it, anyway, you should pay attention to this person named Günter von in the future."

"And this little guy."

Gin took out his cell phone and flipped through the photo album in this antique phone, finding the photo he had just taken: "Do you know him?"

He was very grateful that his phone had evolved into a camera and photo taking function, although the pixels were a bit mosaic...

But at least you can see the general features.

Kuroba Kaito squinted his eyes, trying to distinguish the figure in the mosaic photo: "This is...ah! Isn't this the guy from Hakuba?"

Gin was a little surprised that Kuroba Kaito recognized the person in the photo and raised his eyebrows:

"Do you recognize him?"

"I recognize him. He's my classmate who just transferred back from London... By the way, Uncle Ren should know him too, right?" Kuroba Kaito blinked.

Gin was stunned: "I should know...Have I met him?"

As far as he could remember, he had never seen this child before...

"...I guess he has. But, you were outside the annex last time, so you should have heard his name. Didn't you cancel the operation because of him?" Kuroba Kaito silently mourned for Gin's memory. "That guy Hakuba, he is the son of the Japanese police chief."

"...Oh, you mentioned that time at Twilight Annex. I remembered it now."

After being reminded by Kaito, Gin finally remembered. He held his forehead and recalled, "The son of the Superintendent General, it turns out to be him."

Well, that's a bit suspicious.

Kuroba Kaito was still waiting for the next words when he saw Gin lost in thought. He said helplessly, "Uncle Blade? Uncle Blade! So where did you take the picture of him?"

Gin came back to his senses and said with a bit of seriousness: "He was in the aisle next to your seats. He was the only one who was not hypnotized besides me and Vermouth. How is your relationship with him?"

"Uh, okay? But he seems to have some guesses about my identity."

"...You'd better be more careful about him." Gin looked at Kaito with a little worry.

This child is good in every way except that he is too kind-hearted.

Kuroba Kaito was confused: "What happened to that Hakuba guy?"

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Bai Ma Tan...

"It's okay, let's not talk about him for now, let's talk about the illusionist named Günter von." Gin changed the subject, trying to change the topic, "Did that Scoobing tell you about the organization? For example... is there 'Spider' in the code names of those members? Spider?"

He suddenly thought of the huge mechanical spider in the performance area.

"Eh? Uncle Ren, how did you know that? I clearly didn't tell you."

After being shocked for a while, Kuroba Kaito suddenly widened his eyes, "Wait, Uncle Blade, you are not saying that this illusionist is..."

"...Ah, yes, that's what I meant."

Gin coughed a little guiltily and turned his eyes away.

I didn't expect it to exist...

God knows, he really just wanted to change the subject.
