Detective Conan: A Dream Come True, Ran is Startled

Let them gradually take their own shape.

"So what do you plan to do?" Lin Jinhao asked, wanting to know how the two girls' high schools would handle the situation.

"I've already talked to Sonoko about this, let's tackle it from the root!" Ran said confidently.

“That’s right!” Sonoko snapped her fingers and slowly revealed their plan: “As long as we make the teacher dislike Mr. Takasugi, they won’t be able to hold the wedding!”

"So!" Xiaolan, standing beside her, put her hands together shyly and asked, "Could you, Brother Lin... help me... no, no, I mean, have a chance encounter with Matsumoto-sensei, please?"

"Huh?" Lin Jin was shocked. He didn't expect these two people to have such abnormal thought processes and come up with such a bad idea.

He reminded them, "Don't you think it would be faster to find a beautiful woman to seduce the groom?"

"We've discussed it!" Xiaolan said helplessly, "but... we don't know anyone in this field."

Sonoko then added, "But if we're looking for a really handsome guy, then we'll have a suitable candidate!"

Lin Jin had no objection to this; on the contrary, he wanted to wholeheartedly agree!

This is an imperial decree to pick up girls, isn't that wonderful?

He nodded and said, "Okay, I can help you... but how do you plan to pay me?"

"This..." Xiaolan hesitated, unable to come up with a reward right away.

On the other hand, Yuanzi, upon hearing this, immediately leaned over, kissed Lin Jin on the cheek, and said enthusiastically, "This is a deposit! You'll receive the rest of the payment after you finish!"

Xiaolan was shocked when she saw it!

She never expected Sonoko to pull such a stunt.

She definitely can't fall behind Sonoko!

Thinking of this, Xiaolan leaned over and kissed Lin Jin on the cheek, blushing nervously, and said, "Me...me too!"

"Okay!" Lin Jin smiled, noticing the many envious and jealous glances coming from inside the coffee shop.

This made him very happy, and he said, "Then... I'll take this commission!"

Chapter 106 Memory Alteration (3rd Update)

"We've already made plans to have dinner with Matsumoto-sensei tomorrow night."

"Brother Lin, just pretend you're passing by, and I'll say hello to you."

"Then, you should try to make a lasting impression on the teacher, so that she feels it was a beautiful encounter!"

"........."

After hearing the plan of Xiaolan and Yuanzi, Lin Jin was speechless for a moment.

With such a lousy plan, he actually thought he could seduce Matsumoto Sayuri?

However, considering that neither of them had any dating experience, he was relieved.

It would be a huge mistake to place your hopes on them!

“Okay, then I’ll gather some information and see what Matsumoto-sensei’s hobbies are,” Lin Jin replied.

He never fights a battle he's not prepared for!

That night, Lin Jin chose to enter Matsumoto Sayuri's dream and began to quickly browse through her life.

Soon, he somehow figured out from Matsumoto Sayuri's dream how to quickly pinpoint her interests.

If you start by mentioning the first time Sayuri Matsumoto played the piano, you're guaranteed to start a conversation.

In addition, Sayuri Matsumoto loves to travel, and her favorite places to visit are Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri village, Hakone hot springs, and Zao Onsen ski resort in Yamagata Prefecture!

Talking about these topics will definitely give Matsumoto Sayuri the illusion of "fate"!

Once you get the conversation flowing, have a couple of drinks, and with Xiaolan Yuanzi's help, it'll be a breeze to win her over.

With this in mind, Lin Jin felt absolutely confident!

Just as he was about to leave the dream, he suddenly saw Matsumoto Sayuri's past memories.

The scene shows a young Sayuri Matsumoto being bullied, but at that moment a boy who looks just like Shinichi steps in, chases away the bad kids, and hands her a lemon tea he has with him.

This scene suddenly gave Lin Jin a bold idea!

Since my dreams can influence reality, can I also influence my memories through dreams?

If we can just make the dreamer believe that what happened in the dream happened in their memory, wouldn't that be enough?

Besides, this incident happened twenty years ago. How could Matsumoto Sayuri possibly remember exactly what happened that afternoon?

I absolutely can't remember it!

Human memory can lie.

Memory is easily affected by factors such as emotions, the causal logic of events, external interference, and misinformation.

Lin Jin remembered that he had previously rewatched the old version of "Journey to the West".

When he saw Tang Sanzang and his disciples enter Chechi Kingdom and fight against the three national teachers, he subconsciously thought he would see Sun Wukong and Yangli Daxian fighting in a cauldron of boiling oil together, and he even had a picture in his mind.

However, all he saw in the end was Tiger Power Immortal being beheaded, and the other two immortals running away when they saw things were going badly. There was no scene of Sun Wukong being thrown into the oil cauldron.

This is a classic example of memory confusion.

If I alter the dream and cause Matsumoto Sayuri to experience memory confusion, then maybe... it really could work!

If it were truly possible to confuse and alter memories through dreams... wouldn't I have gained another powerful weapon?

Thinking about this, Lin Jin felt a surge of excitement.

He immediately started trying it!

After kicking away the young Takasugi Toshihiko, Lin Jin transformed himself into a child and slowly walked forward, reenacting the scene from before.

However, in order to completely interfere with Matsumoto Sayuri's memory using dreams, he added a detail!

A detail that would make Sayuri Matsumoto question her own memory.

..............................

The following evening, Lin Jin, following the time given by Xiao Lan and Yuanzi, scouted the restaurant and entered it.

He "coincidentally" ran into Xiaolan Garden when he went in.

"Xiao Lan, Yuanzi? What a coincidence, you're eating here too." Lin Jin stopped next to the table and greeted them.

"Brother Lin! You're eating here too?" Yuanzi asked, feigning surprise. "Huh? Are you alone?"

"Yeah, I was really hungry, so I came in to get something to eat." Lin Jin smiled.

"Then...would you like to come with us?" Xiaolan extended an invitation at the opportune moment.

"Never mind, I'm disturbing your gathering. I'm fine on my own," Lin Jin shook his head and declined.

0 ···Requesting flowers··· ········

"No problem, no problem." Matsumoto Sayuri waved her hands and laughed, "Officer Lin, why don't you come with us? It's so boring eating alone."

"Huh? You know me?" Lin Jin said, feigning surprise.

Ranko, standing nearby, was also taken aback. She never imagined that Matsumoto-sensei would know Hayashi Jin!

“I’ve seen reports about you on TV, and my father often mentions you.” Matsumoto Sayuri covered her mouth and chuckled. She patted the empty seat next to her, gesturing for her to sit down and talk.

After thanking him, Lin Jin sat down and asked, "May I ask... who is your father?"

“My name is Matsumoto Sayuri, and my father is Matsumoto Kiyonaga…” Matsumoto Sayuri said softly.

.... ... ....

"Ah~~~ So it's Inspector Matsumoto's daughter!" Lin Jin said, feigning surprise.

“My father often praises your strong ability to solve cases; it’s a real shame you’re not a detective,” Matsumoto Sayuri said.

"Really? I didn't expect Inspector Matsumoto to think so highly of me." Lin Jin smiled and started chatting with Sayuri Matsumoto.

When Xiaolan and Yuanzi saw this, they exchanged a glance and nodded silently, feeling that the atmosphere was very good.

After chatting for a while, Lin Jin called over the waiter and started ordering.

After ordering, he took out a bottle of lemon tea from his pocket, popped it open, and gulped it down.

"Huh?" Matsumoto Sayuri was extremely surprised when she saw this: "Mr. Hayashi, you also like lemon tea?"

"Mmm." Lin Jin placed the lemon tea on the table and smiled, "It's my pillar of support!"

"Huh? Is that so?" Matsumoto Sayuri was extremely curious about this.

But since we had just met, I was too embarrassed to ask any further questions, so I didn't.

However, since she didn't ask, Xiaolan Yuanzi naturally provided assistance from the sidelines.

Xiao Lan asked curiously, "Brother Lin, why do you say that lemon tea is your source of strength?"

Sonoko urged from the side, "Just tell us about it!"

Seeing this, Lin Jin began to tell the story of "himself" and lemon tea.

Chapter 107 Pink Double Hair Ties (4 Updates)

"When I was very young, I rescued a girl from a group of unruly children."

"I happened to have a bottle of lemon tea with me at the time, so I gave it to the little girl to drink and comfort her."

"After that... I became friends with that little girl, and we often played together."

"She likes to drink lemon water, so I often bring it to her."

"Unfortunately... I had to leave that area later due to family reasons."

"........."

Lin Jin slowly recounted his "past".

"Huh? I never expected there to be such a story!" Sonoko exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I thought you just liked lemon tea, Brother Lin!" Xiao Lan exclaimed, praising Lin Jin's storytelling ability as if it were a genuine story!

Only Matsumoto Sayuri "Shichi-San-Shichi" remained silent, staring intently at Lin Jin, her emotions beyond words!

No... how could that be?

This story... it's exactly the same as something that happened to me when I was a child?

Could it be... that little boy is Mr. Lin?

No...not possible!

That boy should be Takasugi Toshihiko.

But if that's the case... why...?

Did I contact the wrong person?

Matsumoto Sayuri was somewhat surprised and uncertain, and subconsciously began to doubt her own memories.

After all, that happened twenty years ago, when she was still a primary school student!

My memory of it has long since faded.

"That's all old news." Lin Jin smiled sheepishly and said, "If it weren't for that girl, I probably wouldn't have chosen to become a criminal police officer and fight criminals... Of course, even though I've resigned now, I still do these things."

"What a romantic story~~~" Sonoko said from the bottom of her heart, "I wonder how that little girl is doing now, and whether she still remembers you."

Xiao Lan nodded in agreement and asked curiously, "Brother Lin, do you remember that girl's name?"

"I don't remember." Lin Jin shook his head and sighed, "I was too young then to ask her name."

"That's such a pity," Ran and Sonoko said in unison.

Sayuri Matsumoto, standing beside her, remained silent, her feelings complicated, unsure of what to say.

If the other person wasn't that little boy, then it's alright; it's just a misunderstanding.

If that's true, then what have I been doing all these years?

Did they actually mistake someone else for him?
