Detective Conan: The Literary Genius is Actually a Great Scientist

Eri Kisaki had been queuing in front of Tsutaya Bookstore for half an hour. The usually busy lawyer, who valued her time, showed no impatience at this moment.

Because the book that made her wait in line and that boy were worth it.

Actually, on the day "Snow Country" was released, because she had a case to attend to, Eri Kisaki asked Midori Kuriyama to queue up and buy Lin Ran's new book for her.

Little Green waited in line for three hours, and her legs were numb when she came back. Eri even gave her a half-day off.

She has been studying it diligently for the past few days.

It's so well written; she can really relate to that extreme futility.

However, after finishing her errands in the afternoon, she passed by Tsutaya Bookstore and saw the posters hanging there and the long queue. For some reason, Eri Kisaki stood at the back of the line.

She wanted to buy a copy of "Snow Country" herself.

It's not the kind where an assistant buys it for you; it's about queuing up yourself, moving step by step to the counter, taking it from the clerk, paying, and then taking it away.

"After all, I should be considered the first reader of this book..." Eri thought to herself as she answered a phone call and followed the group.

Strictly speaking, she was not only the first reader, but also the first person to urge for more updates.

That day at the coffee shop, she took the initiative to ask Lin Ran about the progress of her new book.

Thinking of this, a faint smile flashed across Eri's cold and beautiful face, but she quickly returned to her usual icy demeanor.

Without noticing, a figure was quietly approaching from the side of the line.

Lin Ran walked over and looked at Eri in front of her with a strange expression. "It really is you!"

Wearing a well-tailored office lady uniform, her long hair was neatly pinned up behind her head, revealing her fair and graceful neck. She was holding her arms and quietly answering the phone. Her perfect S-curve figure was even more pronounced under the pencil skirt.

An absolute beauty.

However, the woman's naturally icy aura made her seem very difficult to deal with, and there were two empty seats in the lines in front of and behind her.

Lin Ran felt that every time she met Eri Kisaki, it was a magical experience.

The first time was in the library, the second time was in a coffee shop, and the third time is now. I never expected to run into them beforehand, but we just happened to meet.

Fate, amazing.

"But then again..."

Lin Ran stood still, her gaze sweeping over the bookstore entrance and the crowd queuing around her.

everything is normal.

There were no arguing couples, no suspicious figures, not even loud noises; only the sounds of bookstore staff maintaining order and the murmur of readers either talking quietly or waiting peacefully.

The atmosphere while queuing was even peaceful and orderly.

It seems that this time the rule of someone dying to celebrate every time a top lawyer is encountered will not be triggered.

congratulations.

In a great mood, Lin Ran's gaze fell on a young girl sitting a seat behind Eri, who was looking down at her phone.

"Hello, excuse me."

The girl looked up, revealing a fairly pretty face. She was initially a little impatient about being interrupted while playing on her phone, but her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Lin Ran's handsome, smiling face.

What a handsome guy!

"Is there something you need?"

Lin Ran pointed to the line in front of her, her smile deepening: "Excuse me, may I cut in line? I'd like to switch places with you."

The girl's smile froze instantly.

Cutting in line?

She had been queuing at this Tsutaya bookstore for two days in order to buy her idol, Natsume-sensei's, new book. The previous times, she could only watch as the people in front of her bought it, and when it was her turn, the clerk would put up a sign that said "Sold Out Today"!

She finally saw a glimmer of hope in the queue today, how could she possibly give up her spot to someone else?

So what if he's handsome?

You can cut in line with me, but you can't cut in line with my idol!

The girl frowned, about to righteously refuse this uncivilized and unfair request.

A brand new 10,000 yen bill appeared before her eyes.

Lin Ran held the banknote between two fingers and waved it in front of her, her face still bearing that harmless smile: "Just a little bit, please~"

girl:"……"

How could you do this!

How dare you insult me ​​with money! You insulted my idol!

"Handsome, please! My spot has a great view, right in front of me is a beautiful woman. Happy shopping!" The girl took the 10,000 yen bill in a second and gave Lin Ran an absolutely sincere smile.

Who would turn down money?

Please insult me ​​a little more, insult me ​​however you like, you can even fill the page with tally marks!

After saying that, as if afraid that Lin Ran would change her mind, she immediately turned around, gave up her seat, and walked briskly towards a dessert shop next door.

Well, I exchanged my idol's book for 10,000 yen, and then used that 10,000 yen to buy two more of my idol's books and some snacks... After all the rounding up, I still managed to support my idol! I even made a profit!

The girl thought to herself with delight.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow as she watched the girl's disappearing figure.

Money power is indeed useful.

I wonder what kind of wonderful expression will appear on this girl's face when she suddenly realizes that the handsome guy who bought her place in line for 10,000 yen is her idol.

After all, his appearance is unforgettable once you've seen it.

Feeling perfectly at ease, I took a step forward and stood in the spot that had just become vacant.

The people behind them did not complain.

After all, this wasn't a real queue-jumping; it was just a change of personnel, and the total length of the queue and the relative positions of each person remained the same.

At this moment, Eri Kisaki was completely unaware of the transaction that had taken place behind her, and even the person she was dealing with had changed.

She had just ended the phone call and was frowning, seemingly pondering the content of the conversation. Her mature and aloof profile appeared even more defined in the sunlight, radiating an icy aura that kept strangers at bay.

Standing behind her, Lin Ran could clearly see a section of her fair and graceful neck exposed beneath her long, coiled hair, as well as her impressive bust, which appeared even more striking because she had her arms crossed.

Wow, truly... blessed by nature.

As he admired the view so close at hand, he pondered how to greet her naturally and startle her.

Just as Lin Ran was pondering a plan with a wicked sense of humor.

Eri, who was standing in front of him, seemed to have been standing for too long and her legs were a little numb, so she moved her high-heeled feet and turned her body to the side.

This angle was perfect for her to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure behind her out of the corner of her eye.

"Um?"

Eri Kisaki was taken aback.

Then he turned his head back with some uncertainty.

He met a pair of dark eyes with a mischievous smile.

When Lin Ran saw her looking over, she flashed a bright smile, raised her hand, and waved it like a lucky cat:

"Hey~ lawyer, what a coincidence! Are you here to buy my book too?"
