Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 104: The Affable Librarian#
Lin Ye helped Kogoro Maori to the door of the third floor and opened the door with the key he took out of his trouser pocket.

As soon as the door opened, the lights in the living room came on.

Xiaolan, wearing pink pajamas, was standing by the wall with her arms crossed over her chest.

She originally wanted to nag her father for coming home so late, but she didn't expect to see Lin Ye. She was stunned for a moment, then put down her arms embarrassedly.

"I just saw Mr. Mao Li sleeping at the stairs. I was worried that he might catch a cold, so I sent him back." Lin Ye explained.

"Really? I knew it." Xiaolan looked at her old father who was drunk as a ball and shook her head helplessly.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again." Xiaolan bent down and bowed to Lin Ye, her long black hair hanging down from her ears.

"Don't be so polite." Lin Ye said quickly.

The two men took Kogoro Mouri back to his room and laid him on the bed, then returned to the living room.

"Let me pour you a glass of water." Xiaolan's face turned a little red.

She felt a little embarrassed to be in the same room with an adult man in her pajamas late at night.

Lin Ye noticed her nervousness and said with a smile:

"No, I'll be back now."

When he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "By the way, you guys are going to Kyoto by Shinkansen tomorrow, right?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Xiaolan was puzzled, not knowing why Lin Ye suddenly asked this.

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment and said:

"...Be careful on the road."

That was all he could say, and although he suspected Gin was going to commit a crime against the Shinkansen tomorrow, he had no evidence.

Xiaolan was stunned when she heard Lin Ye's instructions.

[Why does Mr. Lin Ye suddenly care about me so much? Could it be...]

Oops, I was misunderstood.

Lin Ye quickly shut up and left. He had no interest in being a minotaur.

What's more, Conan was eavesdropping by the door in the room.

This kid pretends to sleep every time.

Xiaolan came to her senses when she heard the sound of the door closing. She hesitated for a moment, walked to the window and looked at the street.

Under the street light, Lin Ye’s departing figure was stretched out.

Xiaolan frowned, seeming confused.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you looking at?"

Conan's voice suddenly came from behind.

Xiaolan was startled and turned around to see Conan wearing cartoon pajamas.

"I'm so scared, Conan, why are you up?"

"I'm getting up to go to the bathroom." Conan ran to the window, stood on tiptoe and looked out, just in time to see Lin Ye's back turning around the corner.

"Is that Uncle Lin Ye? I just heard his voice."

"Well, Dad was drunk and passed out downstairs, and he brought Dad upstairs."

Conan seemed to want to ask something, but Xiaolan patted his head and said softly:
"If you need to go to the bathroom, go quickly. It's so cold, be careful not to catch a cold. We still have to take the Shinkansen to Kyoto tomorrow."

Conan said "oh" and walked towards the bathroom full of doubts.

What on earth is Xiaolan thinking about?
……

The next morning.

Lin Ye went out for a run as usual, and then returned home to do basic karate physical training according to the method provided by Xiaolan.

Although it was a little difficult, he still finished it.

In the afternoon, he came to the Mihua Library, intending to borrow some books related to the wine industry and learn more about the development of the wine industry in the world.

Lin Ye searched the bookshelves on the first floor of the library, but didn't see the wine bookshelf, so he went to the second floor to continue searching. Just as his eyes were wandering between the bookshelves, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Excuse me, sir, what book are you looking for?"

Lin Ye turned around and saw a kind and amiable old man.

Judging from his facial features, he is probably close to 60 years old, with scowl-shaped eyebrows and squinting eyes, and looks very kind.

But why does this old man walk so silently? It's scary.

"I am the director of this library. I remember the location of every book here," the director raised his right hand and tapped his forehead with a smile.

"So if there's any book you're looking for, just tell me."

"Oh, I'm looking for books related to wine." Lin Ye said.

"The book introducing wine is on the bookshelf over there." The curator turned around and pointed to a bookshelf not far away.

After Lin Ye thanked him, he walked over to take a look and found that it was indeed a book introducing various kinds of wine and wineries. There were also books on learning how to mix cocktails. The variety was quite comprehensive.

He picked up a book introducing the development of modern wineries and was about to open it when he felt a gaze coming from behind.

[It seems that he really came here to look for books, haha]

Lin Ye turned around curiously and saw the curator walking away with his hands behind his back.

What did he mean by that just now? What else can you look for in the library if not books?
An artistic girl with long black hair and a short skirt?
The director's strange voice aroused Lin Ye's curiosity. Could it be that there were some secrets hidden in this library?
Forget it, let’s not meddle in other people’s business.

Rather than the possible secret, Lin Ye is now more concerned about the difference between the wine industry in this world and the knowledge in his memory.

He has to find out these differences and update the knowledge base in his brain.

Otherwise, if you meet a knowledgeable customer, it would be embarrassing to make a fool of yourself.

Just like the violet wine that I thought was out of production and would take another ten years to revive, but it is not dead in this world at all.

Lin Ye stayed in the library until 4:30 in the afternoon.

He flipped through the book very quickly because much of the content was the same as what he already knew, but there were subtle differences in some unexpected places.

It was these differences that he looked carefully at.

The director passed by several times and saw that he was always standing in front of the same bookshelf. He was completely convinced that he was here to read books.

The director’s strange behavior made Lin Ye even more certain that this library must be hiding some secrets.

But I don’t have time today, I have to go to work.

Next time you come, try looking for that little secret.

7 p.m.

There were a few more customers in Poirot's Bar than at this time yesterday; it was almost full.

Xia Fan and Omi were in charge of outside the bar, while Lin Ye and Amuro Toru were in charge of inside the bar, and they were busy in an orderly manner.

After all, the Polo Bar is not particularly large, so even if it is full of customers, it would not be a challenge for Lin Ye.

Although Toru Amuro is a newcomer, his real identity is an undercover agent. This is a job that not ordinary people can do and requires extraordinary personal abilities.

There is no doubt that he is outstanding in all aspects.

In particular, he demonstrated amazing memory and learning abilities.

In addition, he himself has a certain understanding of alcohol, so Lin Ye would teach him simple cocktails like making hi-balls.

This way, Lin Ye felt more relaxed.

At 7:05, a beautiful female customer pushed the door and entered the store.

She has short chestnut hair curled into waves, very delicate facial features, slightly mature makeup, and fashionable clothes.

He looks to be in his early twenties, but he gives people a very mature and capable feeling.

As soon as she entered the store, she attracted the attention of many male customers.

However, her cold expression and aloof temperament discouraged most people from approaching her and chatting with her.
