Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 145 [Southern Road]

Maori Detective Agency.

Lin Ye sat on the sofa in front of the reception table, holding the cup of warm water brought by Xiaolan.

After taking a sip, my dry throat felt warm and moistened.

He let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Mr. Lin, wipe your sweat."

Xiaolan held a clean white towel in both hands.

"Oh, thank you, Xiaolan."

Lin Ye took the towel. It was wet and a little warm. It seemed that it had been soaked in warm water and then wrung dry.

After exercise, it is also a pleasure to wipe off the sweat on the body with such a towel.

That’s so thoughtful, Xiaolan.

"You're welcome." Xiaolan smiled, like a virtuous and capable sister.

She would sweat after completing her daily karate training, so she knew what kind of towel was most comfortable to use to wipe the sweat.

After exercise, the human body's blood circulation speeds up and the skin pores are open.

Wiping with cold water will cause the pores to contract due to the cold, resulting in reduced sweating, and heat cannot be released well, which may cause a feeling of hotness.

Using a warm towel can avoid irritation to the skin. It will absorb heat during evaporation and adapt to the body's cooling rhythm, which is very comfortable.

Dry towel?
Not moist enough.

Moreover, the dust on the towel may clog the pores and cause itching.

So hot towels are the best.

While Lin Ye was wiping the sweat from his head and neck with a hot towel, Xiaolan waited by his side, waiting for him to finish and then took the towel to wash.

Lin Ye caught a glimpse of the smile on Xiaolan's face, and the scene he saw in Conan's dream last night suddenly flashed through his mind.

He was slightly startled, his eyes became strange, and he quickly looked away.

It is really difficult to control people’s thoughts.

I'm afraid only the Buddha can completely control his own thoughts.

Lin Ye quickly drank some hot water to suppress his restless inner demons.

Xiaolan tilted her head slightly. The attentive girl noticed the change in Lin Ye's expression and felt confused.

[Mr. Lin's eyes looked so strange just now, what was he thinking about? ]

Ahem, nothing!
Lin Ye wiped his face with the hot towel again and felt much refreshed, and his expression returned to normal.

Although Xiaolan was curious, she didn't dare to ask.

"give it to me."

He took the towel from Lin Ye and turned around to wash it.

"I really envy you, Brother Lin. Xiaolan has never been so considerate to me as her father." Kogoro Maori looked at his daughter's back and said with some jealousy.

Brother Lin?

The change in the way Maori Kogoro addressed him suddenly made Lin Ye's uncle, which surprised Lin Ye a little.

Just now he was planning to adopt me as his son-in-law, and now he calls me brother. This really messes up the seniority.

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Mr. Mao Li, you are joking. Xiaolan cooks, washes clothes, and cleans every day. You are blessed to have such a daughter."

If you think about it carefully, Xiaolan not only goes to school every day, but also has to go home to cook, wash clothes, clean, and do all the housework. She also has to do karate training. She is really busy.

After hearing Lin Ye's words, Maori Kogoro felt a little embarrassed.

It is obviously the father who should take care of his daughter, but he is the one being taken care of.

And he suddenly thought, if Xiaolan gets married in the future, what will he do for dinner, who will wash his clothes, and who will do the housework?
Drinking, horse racing, watching TV, playing mahjong... I can lead such a decadent life now, thanks to Xiaolan.

"Yes, Xiaolan is a good daughter." Maori Kogoro sighed. "But no matter how good a daughter is, there will always be a day when she will get married."

Lin Ye heard his thoughts clearly.

He has never been a father, but he can understand this kind of reluctance. "Yes, whoever marries Xiaolan will be blessed."

Lin Ye thought of Conan who had just been taken away. How is that boy now?

In traffic.

The woman in black who was driving had a mysterious smile on her face.

Conan sat in the passenger seat with a serious look on his face.

The smile on the woman's lips gave him a malicious feeling.

"who are you?"

"HoHo, I'm your mother."

"You're talking nonsense, my mother is obviously..." Conan stopped himself in time when the words were about to come out of his mouth.

Because saying one's mother's name is equivalent to revealing one's identity.

But the woman continued for him.

"Kudo Yukiko!"

"What?" Conan's expression changed.

The woman continued, "Your mother, Kudo Yukiko, is one of Japan's leading actresses. With her unparalleled acting skills and beauty, she won all kinds of awards in the entertainment industry at the age of 19. She has fans all over the world."

"But she married a novelist at the age of 20 and retired from the entertainment industry. Haha, what a silly woman."

Conan listened in silence.

He had a bad feeling...

"Later, they had a son named Kudo Shinichi. Yes, that's the famous detective Kudo Shinichi who is known as the savior of the Japanese police."

"Currently, the two are living overseas, leaving their only son to live in Japan..."

The woman in black raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at Conan in the passenger seat while waiting for the traffic light.

"I'm right, Conan. No, I should call you... Kudo Shinichi!"

Conan's pupils trembled and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

There is no doubt about it, this woman is definitely an accomplice of Gin and Vodka!
But how did they find out? Did I reveal any flaws last night?
No, I have to escape...

"Don't try to run away, kid."

The woman's black-gloved hand produced a silver pocket pistol and pointed it at his head.

Feeling the cold murderous intent, Conan froze.

A cruel smile appeared on the woman's face: "Bullets have no eyes. I don't want to hurt you. If you are obedient, I will take you to a good place..."

Conan's brain worked rapidly and he analyzed a possibility.

Gin said that the poison was an unfinished experiment that could kill people without them being able to see through it.

But now, not only did he not die, but his body underwent miraculous changes.

This woman didn't kill herself directly, but planned to take her somewhere. It was very likely that the developer of the drug became interested in her body after hearing about her situation...

In other words, they intend to use themselves as guinea pigs for research!
This woman definitely wanted to take me to some underground research institute. Once I got there, I would have no chance to escape.

Conan could already imagine that scene.

In a white room where no detection equipment could find him, he was tied to an operating table, unable to move his hands and feet.

Four bald scientists gathered around the operating table, their eyes emitting evil light, holding scalpels, syringes, pliers, tweezers, and hand saws in their hands. There were also various small props placed beside the operating table.

"Hehe, little friend, let us study your body carefully!"

Don’t do that kind of thing!
escape!
We must escape now!

Conan's brain was working rapidly. Looking at the flashing red light ahead, he gritted his teeth, stretched his foot to the side, and stepped hard on the accelerator.
