Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 164 They still have a force ceiling

Looking at Kyogoku Makoto who was placing dishes on the table, Yun Xianhe said bluntly:

"You like gardens, don't you?"

Click,

The plate that was just put down did not control the angle well and collided with the previous plate.

Conan, who was drinking soda, choked.

He looked at the dark-skinned waiter who was standing there as if he wouldn't move with shock on his face, and then glanced at Yun Xianhe who spoke in a firm tone.

real or fake? !

"You need to be brave when pursuing a girl. If you keep observing her secretly, she might be misunderstood as..."

Yun Xianhe didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but he smiled meaningfully.

Kyogoku Makoto pushed up his glasses and began to examine this sickly-looking, very handsome boy.

The other person seems to be speaking sincerely.

Like, you very much approve of him pursuing Suzuki Sonoko?

"Are you Sonoko's friend?"

"Sure, doesn't it look like it?"

"No,"

Kyogoku Makoto seemed a little embarrassed.

Obviously, it's a bit awkward when your liking for someone is not noticed by the person themselves but is noticed by their friends.

Yun Xianhe looked at the dazed big guy with amusement and took a sip of his drink.

These people are not good at dating.

"I suggest you make it clear, state directly that you like her. If the knight is here, those bastards won't follow you."

When Kyogoku Makoto heard Yun Xianhe's words, his face turned red at first, and then he paused.

Obviously he was thinking of Daoxie Masahiko.

Yun Xianhe, who had not expected the other party to confess directly, did not continue to persuade him.

It just makes the other party not to follow you in such a way that doesn't look like a good person, or at least be more open and aboveboard or not so cold.

After all, no one can tell whether Shitou likes him or not.

Actually, he himself is also a piece of stone.

The person whose thoughts wandered missed the determination in someone's eyes.

Conan on the side was muttering that he also wanted to confess but had no way to do so.

We can only hope that the data disk that Yun Xianhe gave to Huihara Ai that day contains enough information for the other party to quickly make an antidote.

"Thank you for your advice. I'm grateful for your guidance."

"? Uh, you're welcome?"

The dazed Yun Xianhe obviously had not immediately caught up with Kyogoku Makoto's thoughts.

After the other party bowed to him, he went on to do other things. It was unknown what he had heard.

"Brother Xianhe, you really don't have anyone you like?"

"Huh? No."

“But I feel like you seem to understand it very well.”

Conan said meaningfully, his eyes full of gossip.

Yun Xianhe reached out and tapped the other person's forehead, smiling and saying:

"Have you forgotten? I'm a novelist. Even if I haven't actually experienced this kind of thing, as long as I put in the personalities of both sides and simulate it many times, wouldn't it be easy for me to come up with it?"

"...If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten when the second volume would be released."

Someone who was inadvertently obsessed with Yun Xianhe's book complained with a half-moon eye:

"You've been off for two months, right?"

"Ahh, what a nice day. Speaking of which, my glasses seem to be a little blurry. Why can't I hear anything?"

"... You, didn't you say at the beginning that you would finish the book and give it to your friends?"

Yun Xianhe, who took a sip of soda, was not at all panicked. After all, he was confident in his hand speed.

"I just have to finish the book before I go meet them."

It will probably be a long time before he leaves this world, so I should be able to finish writing it if I find time.

I don’t know whether Mr. Lu will like his narrative style. This is his first time writing a serious book.

Those written before when I traveled through time and completed missions do not count.

After all, there is a difference between something written for a task and words that are filled with all your true feelings.

"..."

Conan, feeling that there was something wrong with Yun Xianhe's words, was silent for a while.

The brave man realized belatedly that in the eyes of the other party, the gentleman and the others had already passed away.

The person who was afraid that the other party would start to imagine something coughed twice.

Pretending to be hungry, he started eating, and as he did so, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into Conan's mouth:

"Okay, okay, kid, don't think so much. Eat more so you can grow taller."

"Uh huh?!"

"You don't want to shrink and become shorter than Xiaolan after you transform back, do you?"

"??!"

Yun Xianhe spoke the last sentence in a low voice, like a wizard bewitching a child.

The little detective, who was now very short and had his sore spot poked, chewed the food in his mouth angrily:

"I'm not getting shorter!"

"Hai Hai Yi - eat more."

Yun Xianhe enjoyed this meal very much.

While Mr. Guang was out investigating with Xiaolan and the others, the unattended hero performed a "devouring" skill.

I sneaked two spicy dishes.

Conan was so angry that he ate three and a half plates in a row.

Finally, he couldn't eat anymore. He looked at the person who had already finished five plates and was about to eat the sixth plate, and reached out to grab the other person's sleeve:

"Brother Xianhe, if you eat too much you will have a stomachache."

Although the portion of each plate is not particularly large, it still looks quite impressive.

"you're right."

Yun Xianhe, who had eaten the last meatball, nodded seriously.

He took out a bottle of digestive tablets from his pocket like a magic trick.

Conan's mouth twitched, and he breathed a sigh of relief after he was sure that Yun Xianhe had no intention of continuing to eat.

If he gets sick from eating this, he won’t know how to explain it to Mr. Guang later.

A good person always suffers a little bit every time he follows me.

"Pack up the rest for a midnight snack."

Yun Xianhe arranged a place for the four dishes that had not been touched on the table.

The brave man, who was a little full, bit the straw of his drink intermittently, while squinting his eyes at the beach in the distance.

Really, I came here to have fun, but in the end I can only sit here and watch.

[“It’s so hot——So boring——”]

"That's right..."

The sun was lying on the ground, wailing as if it was throwing a tantrum, and shouting that it wanted to go out and play.

Conan, who was standing by, looked at the man who seemed to be distracted again and muttering unconsciously, with an expression that was not surprised.

"Oh, Mr. Guang and the others are back."

From a distance, I saw Sonoko and Xiaolan walking in front of me, looking angry.

Yun Xianhe couldn't help but look at Conan.

The two ladies were so angry that the result was obviously beyond question.

"Cut up some radish and mix it with some cold dishes."

Yun Xianhe spoke calmly, and the moment he lowered his eyes, he hid the coldness in his eyes.

Conan on the side was thinking more.

For example, why did the other party invite Sonoko?

At this critical moment when brown-haired girls are being killed one after another, this kind of behavior is easy to make people think too much.

And today’s conversation…

Why did the other party repeatedly emphasize that I should bring a camera?

Could it be that Sonoko had filmed something at some point, a scene of the other person and the victim together?

That shouldn't be the case. If that were the case, Xiaolan and Sonoko wouldn't have no impression of the Taoist Association at all.

"I'm so pissed! I didn't expect he would be this kind of person!"

Yuanzi, who entered the restaurant first, was furious.

She sat down opposite Yun Xianhe, picked up the cup of water that Kyogoku Makoto handed to her at the right time and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiaolan, who was standing by, obviously didn't look very happy either.

According to her and Sonoko's investigation, the Taoist had actually approached two or three people in succession before he approached Sonoko.

Still the same day!

In other words, the other party might have been like this yesterday!

What kind of radish is this? So greedy!

Yun Xianhe was not surprised by this situation at all.

He was now more curious about one question.

“Are there any common traits among the people he chats up?”

When asked, Sonoko and others fell into deep thought.

Zhu Fujingguang, who had followed the whole process, shook his head:

"The witnesses could only point out that the other party had chatted up several people, but did not provide any further clues."

"hair."

"Ok?"

Kyogoku Makoto, who was standing by, saw everyone looking at him, glanced at Sonoko, then quickly looked back at him:

“Those girls all have brown hair.”

"Ah—they're all brown."

The sound of the bottom of the cup carving on the table was very crisp, but it was a bit abrupt in an environment where everyone at the table was trying to lower their voices.

It makes people shiver involuntarily.

Yuanzi grabbed Xiaolan's arm with some fear, feeling uneasy in her heart:

"Xiao Lan, could it be that he is the murderer..."

"Shouldn't, shouldn't it be..."

The two girls realized their fear belatedly.

Yun Xianhe seemed to be nonchalant:

"A character like that can be knocked out with just one punch, no matter if he faces Xiaolan or Mr. Guang."

"As long as we stay with Sonoko and don't let her get alone with us, we can avoid most dangers."

"When we meet tonight, we will know whether it is a monster or a human by testing it a little."

Having said that, Yun Xianhe raised his hand and pointed to the side:

"Besides, we still have a force ceiling here."

"Force ceiling?"

Several people looked at the tall, dark-skinned waiter who seemed to have not left since a while ago.

Seeing Sonoko looking at him, Kyogoku pursed his lips uncomfortably.

Yun Xianhe was just about to reveal the identity of Kyogoku Shinji's noble son to a few people,

The man next to him took a deep breath, sat down next to the garden, and said righteously:

"My lady, you may not remember me, but I have seen you at a karate tournament. You were cheering for your friends with all your might. But I didn't expect that you would happen to stay at my hotel."

"Me, me?"

When she got closer and saw the other person's face, Xiaolan was very surprised to recognize him.

And Sonoko was also very shocked when she saw that half of the other person's appearance was hidden by his glasses.

Although he looks a bit fierce, he seems pretty handsome from such a close distance...

How come she doesn't remember when she's seen someone like this? !
