Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 406 Wakita Kanenori, you are already on the path to death!

Kitahara Chinese Restaurant.

Today was another busy day, but Yukiko wasn't coming to the restaurant anymore because she had taken a sum of money from Kitahara Natsuhiro to start a company with Vermouth.

Yukiko's position has not yet been filled, but with Conan around, there shouldn't be any problems for now.

Moreover, Conan is far more outstanding than Yukiko; he speaks many languages ​​and can also win over customers with his good looks.

Kitahara Natsuhiro felt that Conan was more capable than Yukiko, and most importantly...
Conan doesn't need a salary, just a meal is enough for him, making him incredibly cost-effective!
Of course, even if Kitahara Natsuhiro wanted to pay him, he couldn't, because he's too young. Paying Conan would be a crime, employing a child laborer.

Although he is currently using Conan as a child laborer, he doesn't employ him if he doesn't pay him, and therefore it doesn't count as employing a child laborer.

It's safe to say that Conan offers excellent value for money; it's truly fantastic!

"Damn it!" Conan, wearing a little apron and holding a pen and order form, was writing down the dishes the customers wanted, but in his heart he was still cursing: "That Kitahara Natsuhiro guy is employing child laborers, I have to report him!"

"And then there's my mom, she actually made me work here, to take good care of Kitahara Tsugumi and this guy!"

"No, how can a little kid like me take care of an adult like Kitahara Natsuyu!"

"It seems that Mom is completely infatuated with Kitahara Natsuyu and no longer cares about me, her son."

"Indeed, I'm not much different from an orphan now!"

My dad has other children and has gone back to the United States. He doesn't care about me at all, and we hardly ever talk on the phone anymore.

As for his mother, she was in Beika Town, but she completely ignored him and devoted herself to her career and Kitahara Natsuyuki, as if he didn't exist as her son.

Of course, his mother has her own career, and he has no objection to that, and is happy to see this.

After all, Mom needs to find something to do; staying cooped up in this little restaurant all the time isn't a good idea.

After all, his mother is the famous Yukiko Fujimine; it would be a laughing stock for her to stay in a restaurant all the time.

But as a result, his mother started to work hard, while he got stuck in the quagmire of the restaurant business.

My life is so miserable!

"Little brother, you're amazing! You're so young and you're already helping your parents in the store." A woman in her forties patted Conan's head and then pulled a lollipop out of her pocket: "Here, this is for you. It's a reward for a good boy!"

"Hehe, thanks."

Conan looked up, a sweet smile on his face, and accepted the lollipop.

Inside the shop, his persona is that of someone who helps the children at his family's restaurant, so it's perfectly normal for him to accept the lollipop; there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Besides, this wasn't the first time he had accepted gifts from guests.

Before this lollipop, he had also accepted snacks such as chewing gum, potato chips, and juice, as well as some old comics.

As a result, he has gained quite a bit of weight recently!
"You're welcome."

Upon hearing this, Conan nodded vigorously, then left with the menu and handed the order to the counter.

At this moment, Ai, sitting at the cashier's counter, looked at Conan and the lollipop in his hand and couldn't help but tease him: "Conan, you look so different now compared to when you were at school!"

"Ah, this..." Conan looked at the lollipop in his hand, becoming flustered and at a loss.

Because he would never show such an expression at school, and he is quite confident that he would never say such cute and cuddly things!
Moreover, at school, he is closer to a smaller version of Shinichi Kudo, completely different from his current appearance, which is why Ai said that!

"It's nothing." Ai waved her hand, looking at the somewhat flustered Conan. "I just think you're quite interesting, with two faces."

"Besides, you're just a child now and you're already like this. If you continue like this in the future, it will be troublesome."

"Should we go to the hospital for a checkup? We don't want you to develop a second personality!"

Although she was exaggerating, she wasn't entirely trying to scare Conan.

Because of Conan's appearance, it's really possible that he might develop a second personality.

After all, constantly changing one's demeanor in public and another in private can easily lead to problems over time.

However, Conan is quite determined, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Even if a second personality were to develop, she would be quite interested, interested in researching it!
"Hmm," Conan's forehead began to sweat, and he couldn't help but take two steps back: "What are you saying, Ms. Haibara? I don't understand at all!"

Split personality?

Hey, I was just pretending, was it really that scary?

Besides, I know my body and mind very well, and I won't have such a problem. Don't exaggerate!
Although Conan is not a doctor, he is quite knowledgeable about some things because he has learned about them and some detective books have also mentioned such things and cases.

However, the requirements for developing a split personality are quite high, and he doesn't qualify at all; he wasn't scared at all.

Of course, the cold sweat on his forehead was just an accidental trickle, and he wasn't actually scared!

Hard mouth!

"If you don't understand, that's fine." Haibara gave a wry smile. "I just wanted to remind you that children should act like children. Don't pretend to be an adult, or you might end up with some problems!"

Conan's lips twitched as he thought, "That Haibara-sensei."

"Conan."

At that moment, Xiaolan called out.

Upon hearing this, Conan responded and quickly ran over.

Then, Conan got busy and forgot all about what Ai Haibara had said.

Dissociative identity disorder? Absolutely impossible!
at the same time.

In the kitchen, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Amuro Tooru were busy at work, while Wakita Kanenori was helping out.

Actually, Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't expect that Wakita Kanenori could persist here for so long. He was really impressed to see him still working here after all this time.

Because in the anime and manga, Kenjiro Wakita is portrayed as someone who works sporadically, always either on his way to or on leave, and doesn't act like an employee at all.

However, now, whether it's to monitor Amuro Tooru or to make contact with Kitahara Natsuyu, Wakita Kanenori is working diligently here and hasn't asked for leave much, making him a model employee!

"Mr. Kitahara, Conan is really smart. He knows everything and even some strange and wonderful things," Wakita Kanenori said, watching Conan leave. He had been in contact with Conan for quite some time and had long suspected that the kid had some issues, but he hadn't been able to find out anything.

However, it's normal that he didn't find anything, because every time he wanted someone to investigate Conan, he would use hypnosis to interfere with Kenjiro Wakita, so as to prevent that guy from finding out anything.

After all, Yukiko is his woman, and Conan is practically his son, so it's only natural for him, as a father, to help out.

Consider this Conan's wages for working here!

Therefore, it's all thanks to Kanenori Wakita that he now realizes Conan has a problem.

Amuro Tooru, on the other hand, didn't find it strange, because he already knew Conan's true identity, but he hadn't told anyone else.

The reason why Wakita Kanenori discovered it so slowly was simply because he thought this guy was just at the level of a normal person.

However, he did not doubt the identity of Wakita Kanenori.

He had investigated Kenjiro Wakita's identity, and even had people visit the places where he had lived before, but there were no problems.

Therefore, Kenshinori Wakita is now just an ordinary person.

This is normal, though, as criminal organizations still wield considerable power in Japan, even surpassing that of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

After all, criminal organizations can brazenly send out armed helicopters to straf the Tokyo Tower, but the Japanese Public Security Bureau certainly can't.

That immediately made it clear who was better.

Therefore, it was incredibly easy for Wakita Kanenori to create a flawless identity for himself; there were absolutely no problems.

Moreover, his life was so simple that no one would find any flaws in it.

“Oh, I taught him all of that. Is there a problem?” Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at Wakita Kanenori with a big smile.

Upon hearing this, Kenjiro Wakita's eyes widened, and he uttered some flattering words: "Mr. Kitahara is truly amazing!"

"She's so popular with women, knows so much, and is an excellent cook—she's truly amazing!"

"If I had half, or even a third, of your strength, Mr. Kitahara, I wouldn't still be single!"

Kenjiro Wakita identified himself as a bachelor, and a bachelor in his forties at that.

Of course, he could get himself a wife and children, but that would be too much trouble. Being a bachelor is much easier, and he doesn't have to worry about being investigated.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Actually, I think you're pretty good too, Wakita, it's just that your teeth affect your image."

Kenshinori Wakita's image is that of a one-eyed dragon with two large buck teeth.

One-eyed is one thing, but those huge buck teeth are really disgusting; they're just too ugly.

He didn't know why this guy, Kenjiro Wakita, would give himself such big buck teeth; did he have some strange fetish?

“I think you could get your teeth fixed, remove these two teeth, and then get two new ones. Then you can find a girlfriend, get married, and have children,” Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile.

Amuro Tooru, who was standing to the side, didn't listen to their pointless chatter and didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to work.

"Should I get my teeth fixed?" Kenjiro Wakita touched his front teeth, then touched his head. "These teeth have been with me for so many years, it would be a shame to lose them."

"Besides, I've been single for so many years, there's nothing wrong with continuing to be single. Moreover, I'm a one-eyed man, so I doubt anyone would want to marry me!" Wakita Kanenori laughed it off, trying to steer the conversation away from the topic.

He didn't really want to continue the discussion.

But Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't want to let him off so easily.

“Wakita.”

"What's wrong?"

"You just touched your teeth, then your head, and then you were working again. That's very unhygienic," Kitahara Natsumi said quietly. "If other customers see this, they'll complain. Go wash your hands!"

Upon hearing this, Kenjiro Wakita was stunned, as was Tooru Amuro, who was standing next to him. Their faces twitched, and they looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't.

It's clear that Kitahara Natsuhiro and he both disliked Wakita Kanenori to some extent.

He didn't like Wakita Kanenori very much, not because he knew his true identity, but because he found the guy's smile annoying, and he didn't really like him either, for some reason!
But now it seems that Kitahara Natsuhiro also doesn't like Wakita Kanenori very much, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing, but should have stopped there.

Kitahara Natsuhiro said this entirely because Wakita Kanenori actually wanted to investigate her woman, which was truly a death wish.

However, keeping Rum around is still useful; otherwise, we would have killed him long ago.

After all, he wanted to see Rum and the Black Organization boss fight like dogs!

In the comics, Rum revealed his ambition to replace the leader and become the new boss of the Black Organization, taking control of the entire organization. So he has been searching for the boss's whereabouts, but has not yet found him.

It was for this reason that Rum was able to survive.

After all, in Kitahara Natsuyu's eyes, their internal strife was a show, a very good show, and he was definitely going to keep watching!

"Okay." Kenjiro Wakita gave an awkward smile, scratched the back of his head, and then turned to wash his hands.

The moment he turned his head, his expression changed instantly, and even his eyes became dangerous. However, because he was facing away from Kitahara Natsumi and Amuro Tooru, neither of them noticed this.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro had already sensed Wakita Kanenori's inner thoughts.

"Wakita Kanenori, you're really courting death!" Kitahara Natsuhiro shook his head, scoffing at his thoughts.

And he also plans to let Kensuke Wakita have a dream tonight.

Since Shuichi Akai enjoyed the benefits of the dream world, then someone in the Black Organization also needs to enjoy the benefits of the dream world.

After all, he needs to maintain a balance between the two forces, and he has to treat them equally!

From now on, you can call me the Master of Balance!
"I'm all done washing!" Wakita Kanenori shook his hands and turned around with an apologetic smile on his face: "Sorry for the trouble."

"It's nothing, let's get back to work! There are still many customers outside!"

"Yes!"
