Chapter 233: It’s great to have returned home, this time it’s not a bad romance
While Xiao Ai was putting her things away, Lin Xi hurried to the mirror to check her disguise.
Fortunately, in the mirror, the disguise sticker was intact - Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, her cell phone vibrated.
Lin Xi took it out and took a look. Sure enough, it was a message from Judy.
"Thank you today, Miss Lin!"
Followed by a heart emoticon.
Lin Xi gave her an expression in return.
"Is there a mission, Teacher Judy?"
"Oh, don't call me teacher... I mean, just call me Judy in private. I have a mission, but it's still confidential."
"Did something happen at Teitan High School? Are the students in danger?"
"No, no, don't worry, Miss Lin. It won't affect ordinary people. We're almost done with our mission. Maybe in another month, 'Teacher Judy' will resign from the school. We'll come to your house then, as police officers on leave!"
Lin Xi seemed to be lost in thought.
Are there any tasks that require you to disguise yourself as a teacher at Teitan High School to complete?
"Okay," she replied. "Then may I ask if Mr. Akai also came to Japan with you?"
"Yeah, Xiu and Jin are here. Once our mission is over, we'll go visit you together."
"Okay."
She deleted the chat history on Line, put away her phone, and walked to the kitchen.
Today she made tomato and beef brisket stewed with potatoes. Chopped scallions were added to the bubbling, thick broth. Two bowls of fragrant white rice and fresh blanched vegetables were added, and it was a perfect dinner for her and Ai.
Just as they were about to start eating, the doorbell rang.
Lin Xi wiped his mouth, stood up and opened the door.
The young man with cat eyes at the door winked at her.
Lin Xi showed a surprised expression.
"Morey, why are you here?" She stepped aside to make way for the door. "Come in... Didn't you say you didn't have the chance to come to Japan?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang said thank you softly and changed into the slippers Lin Xi handed him: "The company finally sent me here. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to tell you."
In fact, it was Punch who asked him to come.
The first task Punch assigned him was to monitor Lin Xi, which Zhu Fu Jingguang never expected.
Lin Xi really has a connection with the organization!
That photo is no coincidence.
But why did the organization monitor Lin Xi?
Judging from the fact that the mission is surveillance, Lin Xi should not be a member of the organization... In other words, the organization covets something from Lin Xi, or is preparing to take action against her?
Thinking of this answer, Zhu Fujingguang couldn't help but tense up all over.
He didn't know why, but even though he had only been in Japan for over a month and had just received his first mission, he already felt like he was at the center of a vortex.
Coconut meowed as a greeting to his temporary owner, then quickly lowered his head and continued to eat elegantly.
It was indeed Zhu Fu Jingguang who was called by Lin Xi.
She had promised Toru Amuro that she would put Keimitsu Morofushi in a safe place where he could take care of her. Lin Xi felt that there was no more suitable task than monitoring herself.
Except that it might be a bit troublesome to go out pretending to be Punch in the future...but last month, she had already arranged everything that could be arranged. Now she just had to wait and see how things developed. There was nothing special to do.
"So, what kind of work has the company assigned to you?" Lin Xi brought an extra set of dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen. "Will you be meeting clients all the time?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head.
Clients? If his work had clients, then Punch was the biggest client. But until now, he hadn't even seen Punch.
"It's an online job," he said. "All I have to do is stare at the computer in my apartment. It's pretty relaxing. But the apartment the company arranged for me is right across from yours. What a coincidence."
"I saw that my apartment was in the same place as the address you sent me before, so I couldn't wait to come and see if it was really you. That's why I didn't tell you before I came... I'm sorry to trouble you, Lin Xi."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Xi smiled. "I just made too much food today. If you didn't come, Xiao Ai and I would be worried about not being able to finish it."
Ai Haibara glanced at the dishes on the table.
She doesn't believe it.
Sister Lin always cooks just the right amount, so why did she suddenly cook too much today?
It's obvious that this was premeditated.
Poor Morey Gaunt, he didn't even know what was happening.
"Thank you... Well, the food you cook is still so delicious." Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed.
"Hey, thank you for the award."
"Well, I have something I want to ask you." After a while, Zhu Fujingguang spoke casually, "Why can't I find the 'Whiskey Band' you mentioned on the Internet? Is there really such a band? Who is the person in the photo..."
"Ah, that one." Lin Xi chewed and chewed. "I was just kidding. There really isn't such a band in Japan. The guy in the photo is my friend, Toru Amuro, a waiter at the Poirot Café. He used to be a very good detective. If you want to meet him, we can go to the Poirot Café together next time and I'll introduce you to him."
"He's a nice, easygoing guy, a sunny and handsome guy."
Zhu Fujingguang: ...?
The core members of the organization are sunny and easy-going good people in Lin Xi's eyes.
You're such a good pretender, Bourbon.
But what does Bourbon want to do by disguising himself as a cafe waiter?
He must have other motives...
Thinking of this, Zhu Fujingguang asked again: "Is the Poirot Café the same Poirot?"
"Yeah, that's right, it's the great detective Hercule Poirot from the 'Queen of Mystery'. He's just across the street from here, downstairs from Mr. Mori's detective agency—the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro,' the famous detective who's been all over the newspapers lately—and the kid who's staying at his house right now, Conan Edogawa, is a classmate of our Ai."
Detective Kogoro? He's definitely become quite famous lately... Is Bourbon working there as a waiter because of that detective?
Are the people in the organization always so plain and simple in their approach to others?
...But it seems that he has no right to criticize others.
I don’t know why the organization asked him to monitor Lin Xi.
However, it’s a good thing that he was the one to monitor.
Even if he discovered something that needed to be reported, he could keep it secret to protect her...
…
Zhoutian.
The weather is sunny and pleasant.
It's a good day for an outing.
A few little kids got off Dr. Agasa's yellow beetle and became excited when they saw the green mountains.
Only Conan, who was mixed in the middle, was holding the insect net and glass bottle stuffed into his hands in a depressed manner, and his mind was still thinking about the scene of Xiaolan standing with a handsome young man not long ago.
They looked like a perfect match, Conan could even imagine their wedding scene - the groom in a white suit, and Xiaolan in makeup and a wedding dress, she must be very beautiful...
He sighed in frustration.
That man was the school doctor at Ran's school. Not long ago, a murder occurred in his home. Doctor Shinde's father was killed by his wife at home while Uncle Maori, himself and Ran were visiting him.
As usual, he successfully used an anesthetic needle to make the uncle fall asleep, and then solved the case using his tone.
But the bad thing was that for some reason, Xiaolan was very concerned about the doctor and kept glancing at him from time to time.
This made Conan feel a great sense of crisis.
My current body is just that of a small bean. What if he doesn't show up and Xiaolan falls in love with someone else?
Then, fall in love with another man and marry him...
Conan would become depressed just thinking about such a scene.
Moreover, originally, there were only a few adults, including Xiaolan, Sister Lin, and Dr. Agasa, accompanying the children on this outing, but for some reason, three more people suddenly appeared.
Xiaolan's English teacher Judy came with the newly-appointed doctor. They seemed to know each other and were very familiar with each other. Sister Lin brought another young man with her.
The original team of eight people suddenly became a large team of eleven people. Sister Lin’s Mazda could not accommodate all the children, so the children had to ride in Dr. Agasa’s Beetle.
They are just here to do a practical assignment, are there really so many of them?
He looked at the car behind him dejectedly. Sister Lin was carrying Xiao Ai down from the passenger seat.
He keenly felt that Haibara Ai seemed a little depressed, just like him.
Uh, the thing that makes Huiyuan feel depressed should be related to Sister Lin, right? After all, when facing other things, Huiyuan Ai always looks calm.
What's the matter?
After everyone came down, Conan suddenly understood why Haibara Ai was depressed.
On Lin Xi's left stood a handsome doctor named Shinichi, and on his right stood a handsome young man - a network worker named Morimoto Hiroshi.
The two of them showed obvious interest and affection for Sister Lin, and almost pushed Huibara aside.
Conan: Space Cat Ascension.jpg.
Is there another romantic interest around Sister Lin? This time, it's not a dangerous organization romantic interest like Amuro Toru, but two normal young men of the right age who have nothing to do with the organization!
Look, one of them is wearing beige, the other is wearing brown, and neither of them is wearing black!
Conan felt strangely relieved.
And a hint of joy.
That’s great, Dr. Shinde is not interested in Xiaolan!
I'm sorry, Haibara. I'd rather die than have a friend die. As long as you ask Dr. Shinde not to always think about getting close to Xiaolan, it's okay to sacrifice some of the time you spend with Sister Lin!
Anyway, even if it’s not Dr. Shinde or that guy named Morimoto Hiroshi, it will be Toru Amuro or other flowers and plants!
Haibara Ai felt his gaze and glared at him angrily.
Conan looked away with a guilty conscience.
The place they came to today was Mount Origanuma in Gunma Prefecture.
Yes, next to this mountain is Niulang Mountain, and their names come from ancient Chinese legends.
Teitan Elementary School was actually a school for the aristocracy, and the children who attended there came from well-off families. Even the most insignificant student, Genta, had an entrepreneur father who ran a family business. As everyone knows, aristocratic schools are full of things to do. Their practical assignments counted towards their final grade, and the requirements were particularly demanding.
Not only are you required to take photos of the field trip, but you will also get extra points for bringing back physical samples.
The theme of this practical assignment was insects. As soon as they got off the bus, the children began chattering about which insect they would focus on. Mitsuhiko preferred fireflies, Ayumi wanted ladybugs, Genta chose beetles, and Haibara Ai and Conan were optional, listening to their discussion. Of course, Professor Agasa joined in the discussion, introducing various insects to them.
The other adults stood aside and chatted about the weather, lunch, scenery, work, etc. On the surface, they seemed harmonious, but in fact they were wary of each other and their words were full of tentativeness.
