Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 166 Kudo Shinichi? Who?

"Then, Xiaolan, I'll leave it to you."

Kogoro Maori said seriously.

"Well, I will take good care of Xiaolan, please rest assured." Lin Ye promised.

"Dad, stop nagging me." Xiaolan, who was sitting in the back seat, blushed and glared at her father with some dissatisfaction.

[Dad's tone is as if he is marrying me off. Really...]

Conan sat next to her and looked at Mouri Kogoro outside the car window with a speechless expression.

[I'm not going far away. I'll be back tomorrow. Uncle is too nervous.]

Lin Ye was sitting in the driver's seat, seeing the expressions of the two men through the rearview mirror, and laughing in his heart.

Today he was invited by Yuanzi to visit her villa.

He wanted to stop the impending murder and take the opportunity to see the fine wines collected by the Sonoko family.

Given the strength of the Suzuki Group, the wine stored there must be very precious.

The car was rented. After he rented the car, he came to pick up Xiaolan and Conan, and then the scene just now happened, as if an old father entrusting his daughter to something.

Hearing Xiaolan's complaint, Maori Kogoro responded:

"If Xiaolin hadn't been with you, I wouldn't have allowed you to spend the night out alone."

"I'm already a high school student, not an elementary school student. I can take care of myself." Xiaolan said in a low voice.

Conan shouted in his heart: [Hey, what about me? Am I not considered a person?]

"Anyway, when you get there, you must stay close to Xiaolin and don't get too close to the men outside. Do you understand?"

"I know! Stop nagging me!"

Maori Kogoro curled his lips, "Huh, really, my daughter is getting harder to discipline as she gets older."

It’s obvious that the uncle is the one being disciplined, Lin Ye laughed secretly in his heart.

"Then we're off."

Lin Ye stepped on the accelerator.

"You must protect Xiaolan and don't let her be deceived by other men."

Kogoro Mori shouted from behind the car.

"Really? Who would be deceived by a man?" Xiaolan heard her father shouting in the car and complained with a red face.

"That's right, Sister Xiaolan will not be deceived by another man." Conan agreed.

"Yeah, Conan still understands me." Xiaolan touched Conan's head.

At this time, Conan chuckled: "I know that Xiaolan will only be deceived by the brother named Shinichi, right?"

"what!"

A trace of panic flashed across Xiaolan's face, and then she blushed and grabbed Conan's ear.

"Conan, how dare you make fun of your sister?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan, please let go."

Conan felt pain and begged for mercy.

But I muttered in my heart:

[What a tigress, she attacks at every turn...]

Xiaolan let go of Conan's cheek, which was touching her so well, clapped her hands, and said to herself: "I don't know who Shinichi is."

[When will Shinichi come back? He didn’t even call me.]

"what?"

Conan was stunned when he heard Xiaolan's words.

[No way, Xiaolan forgot about me so quickly? ]

[No, she must be angry. I'll call her with a voice changer when I get back.]

At this time, Lin Ye, who was sitting in the driver's seat, laughed.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Kudo-san for a while. What has he been doing recently?"

Conan responded in his mind: [I am right here]

Xiaolan said: "Who knows where that guy ran off to."

"Aren't they classmates, Xiaolan? He doesn't go to school?" [He does go, but he goes to Teitan Elementary School]

Lin Ye glanced at Conan in the rearview mirror.

This guy really loves to complain.

"I haven't seen him since we went to the amusement park that day. If he hadn't called me, I would have thought he was attacked by criminals."

[He did attack, and he almost died...]

Conan recalled the fear of being dominated by Gin's iron rod, and felt a chill on the back of his head.

Lin Ye drove the car while chatting with Xiaolan and listening to Conan's constant complaints on the way to his destination.

Yuanzi's villa is in the mountains and cannot be reached directly by car.

After Lin Ye drove the car to the nearest parking lot, he took the map and led Xiaolan and Conan there on foot.

When passing through a dense forest, Xiaolan looked a little nervous.

This surprised Lin Ye. He thought that a brave karate girl like Xiaolan should be very courageous.

So I couldn't help but ask: "Xiaolan, are you scared?"

"Well, did you see that?"

"The way you look now, even Conan can tell you're scared."

Xiaolan said a little embarrassedly: "This forest is too gloomy. It feels like something scary might jump out at any time."

Lin Ye looked up at the sky and said, "Maybe it's because it's getting dark, and the weather forecast says it's going to rain tonight."

Then he turned around and looked at Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, you are so good at karate, but you are afraid of these illusory things."

"Even if it's a knife-wielding thug, I'm not afraid of anyone as long as they're human, but for ghosts and the like, I'm..."

"There are no ghosts in the world. Sister Xiaolan, you are just scaring yourself."

"I'm just afraid!"

Lin Ye laughed and said, "That's good. In fact, most men prefer timid girls. They think they are cute when they are scared. This can stimulate their desire to protect them."

"Yes, is that so?" Xiaolan blinked.

[Mr. Lin, are you saying I'm cute? ]

Conan cast a vigilant look:
[Is this guy trying to flatter Xiaolan? No, we must keep a close eye on this sweet-talking man! ]

Lin Ye didn't expect that a casual remark from him would cause such a big reaction from the two of them.

Forget it, I'd better not act too intimate with Xiaolan in front of Conan, otherwise this kid will always have an unhappy expression.

"Ahem, let's keep going. We should be there soon."

Walking out of the woods, a deep ravine appeared in front of the three people.

A suspension bridge made of planks and ropes spans the deep ravine.

On the open space opposite the suspension bridge, there stood a villa quietly. That was the destination of the three people.

However, Lin Ye's attention was attracted by the dark figure on the suspension bridge.

The man was wrapped in a long black cloak and was about to reach the end of the suspension bridge.

"Hey, there's someone there. Is he also attending the party?" Xiaolan also noticed the strange figure.

"Probably, but he's dressed so strangely," Conan said.

As if hearing the two people's voices, the man turned his head suddenly.

His face was wrapped in bandages, with only one ferocious eye revealed, glaring at the three men viciously.

With Conan's knowledge, he was also frightened by this strange guy.

The man glared at the three of them, then quickly ran to the back of the villa and disappeared.

Lin Ye calmly withdrew his gaze and said to Xiaolan who was holding his arm:

"Ahem, he's gone."

Compared to the bandaged man, Conan's gaze at this moment made him feel more concerned.

If Xiaolan continued to hold him like this, this boy's gaze would become like needles piercing him.
