Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 130 Honeymoon and the Painful Man#
Add apple brandy, orange curacao and liqueur to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Shake and strain into a glass.

Lin Ye pushed two finished cups of honeymoon in front of Guan Gu Xiang and Minagawa Katsuhiko.

"You two, honeymoon, please."

They both picked up their glasses and took a sip.

When happy expressions appeared on their faces and they were immersed in the sweetness, Lin Ye saw this picture.

The two of them, wearing a suit and a wedding dress respectively, kissed in the church.

Lin Ye was slightly stunned, then smiled.

Very good, Katsuhiko Minagawa's future has changed.

……

It was not even half past seven when Conan fled back to the bar, looking a little embarrassed.

[Damn Yuanzi, my identity was almost exposed. Luckily I sent a text message to my mom in advance]

It seems that he was being interrogated by Xiaolan and Sonoko upstairs.

"Conan, why are you so panicked? What happened?" Lin Ye asked with a smile.

"Haha, nothing." Conan forced a smile, sat down at a small table near the right corner of the bar, opened the comic book he brought, and started reading.

Not long after, Xiaolan and Sonoko also returned to the store.

The two walked over to the small drinking table where Conan was.

"I'm sorry, Conan, we misunderstood you. We have already called Aunt Yukiko to confirm, we are really sorry." Xiaolan clasped her hands together, looking apologetic.

[Really? It's all Sonoko's fault for talking nonsense. How could Conan be the illegitimate son of Uncle Yusaku?]

Conan put down the comic book and shifted his gaze from Xiaolan's face to Sonoko's.

Xiaolan quickly nudged Sonoko with her elbow, signaling her to apologize to Conan.

"Okay, I get it," Sonoko said helplessly, "I'm sorry, kid."

Then he muttered quietly, "Really? He looks so much like Kudo Shinichi when he was a child. Anyone who sees him will misunderstand."

[Haha, is this considered an apology? ]

Although he was not very satisfied with Sonoko's attitude, Conan still breathed a sigh of relief that he could dispel the doubts of the two women.

[The trouble here has been solved, but after hearing that I became smaller, the woman seemed very excited. She might have already bought a plane ticket back to Tokyo.]

[My dad might come back with me. I have a feeling that nothing good will happen after they come back...]

Thinking of this, Conan fell into new troubles.

Lin Ye felt a little strange after hearing this. Isn't it a good thing for parents to come home? Why does it seem like Conan is somewhat resistant?

Even though his body has become smaller, as his parents, we have seen what he looked like when he was a child. Why is this kid so nervous?
After Xiaolan and Sonoko sat down at the bar, Lin Ye asked with a smile, "What did you two do to Conan?"

"It's nothing, I just forcibly took his glasses off." Yuanzi said nonchalantly.

Thinking of Conan without his glasses, Xiaolan still finds it a little unbelievable.

[Although I know from Aunt Yukiko that Conan and Shinichi are related, he looks too much like Shinichi when he was a child. Is this really true? ]

At the same time, a man was standing at the door of Poirot's Bar, his eyes red and bloodshot.

When the store door suddenly opened, a customer who was about to leave was so startled that he almost fell to the ground.

"Wow, are you standing here scary?"

Hearing the noise at the door, Lin Ye looked over and saw Ogino Ikuji standing at the door.

He looked as if he hadn't slept all day, and his bloodshot eyes were terrifying.

"I'm here to pay the bill." Ikuji Ogino walked to the bar like a zombie and said in a hoarse voice.

He sat down at the bar.

"Give me another drink like yesterday, and I'll pay for it later."

Lin Ye looked at him worriedly, then quickly made a cup of paper airplanes and placed it in front of him.

Ikuji Ogino stretched out his trembling hand, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, then closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

"Tomoya, Tomoya..."

He put down his glass and kept calling out the name of his deceased son.

"It's all Dad's fault. If Dad had taken you to the hospital earlier, none of this would have happened." He finally couldn't help it and leaned over the bar, crying loudly.

Xiaolan on the side looked at him with some concern.

[This uncle is crying so sadly, is he okay? ]

Lin Ye felt relieved.

It is a huge progress that Mr. Ogino is finally willing to face the facts instead of avoiding and shirking responsibility.

The first step to overcoming pain is to face it.

If you cannot face the cruel facts, you will never be redeemed.

That night, Ikuji Ogino didn't remember what time he went out or how many glasses of wine he drank.

I just felt that the taste of the liquid in my mouth was getting weaker and weaker.

Maybe my tongue was numbed by alcohol, or maybe someone secretly mixed water and juice into the wine.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in his bed at home.

Miraculously, he didn't feel any headache at all, he just felt calm.

This is a feeling I haven't had in three years.

He sat up in bed, lost in thought.

"How did I get back last night?"

He only vaguely remembered a warm shoulder and the voice of a young man.

"Mr. Ogino, life is unpredictable and beyond human control. The dead are gone, but the living will remember them. After the grief, life will go on. Please let go of the past and embrace tomorrow."

He remembered that it was the young bartender who sent him back.

Then he thought back to his dream last night.

He dreamed about Tomoya.

And it was different from the previous dream.

For the past three years, he often dreamed of Tomoya, but in his dreams, Tomoya always had his back to him and never spoke to him.

When he chased after him, Tomoya would run away.

But last night, Tomoya finally turned around and said to him with a smile: "Dad, please keep working hard and live on."

He got up from the bed, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and the warm sunlight shone on his body.

"Ah, so warm..."

Bathed in the sunlight, the resentment in his heart dissipated like a shadow.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Ogawa..."

Two years ago, he started sending money and toys to Dr. Ogawa's home every month.

Dr. Ogawa is the doctor who performed Tomoya's surgery.

The money is the insurance compensation for Tomoya's death, and the toys are Tomoya's toys.

Dr. Ogawa also has a lovely son who is 5 years old this year.

He had originally planned to wait until the anniversary of Tomoya's death to take action against Dr. Ogawa's son.

But now, he no longer intends to do that.

"You actually planned to attack an innocent child. What on earth was I thinking?"

Looking back now, he felt only shame.

"Dr. Ogawa must be feeling very troubled. Let's go and apologize to him today."

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Ye arrived at the Mihua Art Museum.

Mr. Ogino's problem has been solved, and it is Mr. Manaka's turn next.

He came today mainly to appreciate works of art and cultivate his sentiments.

By the way, find the potential criminal.

Anyone who can move around in a suit of armor must be a strong young man!
