Detective Conan: A Dream Come True, Ran is Startled

These are ruthless killers who don't blink an eye. If you get caught by them, death is the best outcome. The worst thing is to be tortured beyond recognition before you die!

"You're...you're right." Kogoro Mouri chuckled awkwardly.

He said with regret, "If I were younger and didn't have so many reservations, I would definitely have gone and done something big with you!"

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I was a sharpshooter when I was young!"

"One shot, one kill, incredibly accurate!"

"........."

Lin Jin listened to Kogoro Mouri recount the past again without interrupting him.

The more someone talks about how awesome they used to be, the more it shows how unhappy they are now.

Kogoro Mouri is currently living a very unhappy life, spending his days wasting time at his agency.

He hadn't accomplished anything significant in his youth, so after a couple of lines, he couldn't continue.

We can't exactly bring up the incident of shooting Eri Kisaki in the calf with a pistol, can we?

"Oh! Right." Kogoro Mouri suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh, and then got up to take two cans of beer from the refrigerator.

There was a pop.

He opened a can and handed it to Lin Jin, saying gratefully, "Thank you so much for what happened in the car last time! If it weren't for your reminder, I would have been embarrassed by that jerk again!"

When talking about how Eri Kisaki made things difficult for him in the car last time, Kogoro Mouri was clearly full of resentment and quite unhappy!

"You're welcome." Lin Jin took the beer, took a sip, and said, "No offense to you, Detective Mouri."

"It's a rare opportunity for your whole family to go out, and instead of taking this chance to spend time with them, you're out fooling around... That's hard to judge!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri became even more frustrated: "Lin, you might not believe it... but it's true!"

"Actually, I had a dream in which I bumped into Ms. Funamura, but I left after taking her to the clinic and didn't drink with her! But as it turned out, not long after, she committed suicide!!"

"I thought this was a dream, but it actually happened! Tell me... can I just stand by and do nothing?"

Lin Jin was secretly delighted, but on the surface he appeared skeptical and asked, "Really? Is it that amazing?"

"Really! I'm lying to you, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!!" Kogoro Mouri swore on the spot!

"You dare to make such a vicious oath... I believe you." Lin Jin said, taking a sip of beer.

"It has to be you, Rin! I knew you'd believe me!" Kogoro Mouri took a sip of his drink with satisfaction, then said dejectedly, "But... Ran doesn't believe me!!"

“Sigh, my relationship with her has been strained lately. She's started ignoring me and won't do my laundry anymore.”

"The most crucial thing is that she doesn't give me any food."

"..." Lin Jin couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

Why aren't you feeding us?

Is it so miserable?

It seems that Xiaolan is really angry.

In response, Lin Jin immediately picked up the landline and said, "You've been wronged, Detective Mouri! I'll treat you to a deluxe sushi dinner!!"

He felt he had gone a bit too far, and his conscience made him feel a little guilty. He felt he had to make it up to Kogoro Mouri.

Of course, the main reason was that it was almost noon and we needed to eat something to fill our stomachs.

0 ···Requesting flowers··· ········

"Lin!! You really are!! That's amazing!" Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri was immediately moved to tears.

He hasn't had a decent meal in the past few days, and has had to rely on instant noodles and sausages to make ends meet. He also has to wash and dry his own clothes!

As soon as Lin Jin returned, he immediately treated me to a big meal!

If it weren't for the huge age difference, he would have wanted to become sworn brothers with the other person!

"You're too kind," Lin Jin patted Kogoro Mouri on the shoulder, indicating that he shouldn't take it to heart.

A short while later, the sushi delivery arrived.

After paying the bill, Lin Jin invited Kogoro Mouri to start eating.

Kogoro Mouri doesn't even need chopsticks anymore; he's using a Kai-Xuan directly.

.... 0 ...

He ate them one after another, using both hands simultaneously.

It looked like it came from a refugee camp, as it was inhaling wildly.

Lin Jin could tell that Kogoro Mouri was really starving.

After a satisfying meal, Kogoro Mori lay down on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Jin could also close his eyes, enter the Dragon Ball world of his dream, and continue training!

He woke up from his dream after sleeping for two hours.

After waking up, Lin Jin sighed and said, "Sigh... I have to admire them. Saiyans are awesome. They're so strong at such a young age."

"A whale is such a big creature, we just catch it and roast it without hesitation!"

When will I be able to be that good?

"........."

After expressing his feelings, Lin Jin began to pay attention to his own situation.

Its strength continues to grow steadily, and it is beginning to sprint towards the peak of human physical ability.

However, they cannot compare to the monstrous Sun Wukong.

However, he can still roam freely in the world of Detective Conan without any problems.

While pondering, Lin Jin checked the time; Conan should be getting out of school soon.

After tidying up his desk, he left the office and headed to the Kudo residence.

However, just as he went downstairs, he ran into Xiaolan.

Upon hearing that he was going to the Kudo residence, the other person immediately said, "You're going to Shinichi's place? Can I come with you?"

"Of course, no problem!" Lin Jin naturally replied.

"Wait a minute! I'll go put my schoolbag away!" Xiaolan said, then hurriedly went back to put her schoolbag away.

Chapter 73 Conan's expression immediately turned ugly (3rd update)

On the way to the Kudo residence, Ran asked curiously, "Mr. Hayashi, what are you going to get from Shinichi?"

In response, Lin Jin explained, "I took on an apprentice over there, Conan Edogawa... Have you heard of him?"

"Never heard of it." Xiaolan shook her head, indicating that she was unfamiliar with the name.

Because of Lin Jin's interference, Ran didn't go to the Kudo residence to look for Shinichi after they parted ways on the roller coaster.

After that, her thoughts kept drifting away from Shinichi because of her dreams.

Furthermore, with the other party taking leave to investigate a case, Xiaolan had even less motivation to go to the new house.

As a result, Ran doesn't even know who Conan is.

"I met him and Ms. Yukiko on Tsukikage Island..." Lin Jin roughly explained how he met them.

"Huh? Aunt Yukiko went to Tsukikage Island too?" Ran asked in surprise. "Why didn't Shinichi go?"

"He's probably investigating another case," Lin Jin shrugged, indicating that he didn't know much about it either.

"That's very likely, otherwise, given Shinichi's personality, he would probably go with him." Ran knows Shinichi very well and understands just how attractive the murder case is to him.

"But... wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for us to go empty-handed?" After considering this, she said, "How about we buy something to take with us?"

"That works too." Reminded by Xiaolan, Lin Jin realized he hadn't considered things thoroughly.

It is indeed not appropriate to visit someone empty-handed.

So the two of them took a detour to a nearby supermarket to buy some fresh fruit.

As soon as Lin Jin entered, he saw the high-quality Fuji apples and said, "How about we buy some Fuji apples?"

"This... is too expensive." Xiaolan shook her head repeatedly, clinging to his arm.

"Then... how about the watermelon?" Lin Jin looked at the watermelon on the other side.

“This is more expensive.” Xiaolan shook her head again, grabbed his arm and walked towards other sections, saying, “This will make Aunt Yukiko feel guilty… Just buy some snacks.”

"I'll listen to you," Lin Jin nodded, indicating that he was fine with it.

While the two were shopping at the supermarket, they unexpectedly ran into Yukiko, who was also out shopping.

"Huh? Mr. Lin, Ran?" Yukiko looked at the two shopping together in surprise, feeling quite taken aback!

Seeing how intimately they were talking, she suddenly had some bad thoughts—could they be dating?

"Aunt Yukiko?" Upon seeing Yukiko, Ran suddenly let go of Lin Jin's arm in a fluster, feeling a little guilty.

"Miss Yukiko, what a coincidence. I'm just about to run into you here." Lin Jin greeted her casually and said, "I was just about to buy something at your place."

"I'm also struggling to decide what to buy for afternoon tea to treat you," Yukiko said, pretending not to have noticed the intimate moment between the two of them.

But Xiaolan's guilty conscience only confirmed her suspicions!

"No need for all that trouble, just buy something casual." Lin Jin didn't care about such things.

"How can that be? You'll be Conan's mentor from now on, so of course you have to prepare seriously!" Yukiko was quite serious about it, saying, "Besides afternoon tea, I've also prepared dinner! You and Ran can have dinner tonight before you leave!"

Faced with Yukiko's warm invitation, Lin Jin naturally did not refuse.

After finishing their shopping, the three checked out of the supermarket and walked back to the Kudo residence along the street.

During this time, Yukiko casually asked about Ran's relationship with Hayashi Jin.

“Mr. Lin works at my house right now!” Xiao Lan replied.

"Huh? Is that so?" Yukiko was quite surprised by this.

She asked Lin Jin with some curiosity, "You're so capable, why do you still work under Kogoro?"

Lin Jin replied calmly, "The police and detectives have different ways of doing things. I gained experience as a detective over there. Detective Mori helped me a lot in this regard."

"Is that so~~~" Yukiko really wanted to continue criticizing Kogoro Mouri, but she couldn't criticize his father in front of Ran.

During their casual conversation, the group returned to the Kudo residence.

Yukiko brewed black tea and served sweets to the two of them...

After taking a sip, Ran asked, "Aunt Yukiko, when did you come back to Tokyo?"

"I've only been back for a few days," Yukiko said helplessly. "I wanted to come back and see Shinichi, but he secretly took leave from work to solve a case."

"I'll give him a good scolding when he gets back!"

At this point, she frowned slightly, showing some anger.

Yukiko's performance successfully dispelled Ran's idea of ​​asking about Shinichi's whereabouts, and even made Ran comfort her, saying, "Shinichi must have some reason, Aunt Yukiko, don't be angry!"

This made Lin Jin, who was standing to the side, sigh and say that Yukiko was indeed smart.

Her intelligence was simply overshadowed by the geniuses of the Kudo father and son.

During their conversation, Conan returned home from school.

Upon hearing the front door open, Yukiko stood up and said, "It must be Conan who's back... I'll go check on him."

After saying that, she quickly walked to the entrance.

After meeting Conan, Yukiko told him about Hayashi Jin's current work at Ran's agency.

She knew her son liked Xiaolan, otherwise she wouldn't have brought her to New York.

It's a pity he didn't inherit his emotional intelligence from me, but from Yusaku, otherwise he would have been in a relationship long ago.

Upon hearing this, Conan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand! Don't worry, I won't give myself away!"

"Let's go inside then," Yukiko said, leading Conan back into the living room.

But as soon as she returned to the living room, she saw Xiaolan whispering in Lin Jin's ear, and the two of them were laughing very happily.
