Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 374: The Past - Lianzhu-07 The Watcher on the Pavilion

Lishui Yangjie is an old street that existed before the war.

This large piece of land is nearly two kilometers away from the restricted area in a straight line, but it is in the opposite direction of the development of the new district.

Naturally, this place has been almost destroyed, and the buildings have been renovated. It looks prosperous, but compared to the other place, this place seems much more empty.

"I didn't expect that you could run so fast despite being so weak?"

Kurosawa Jin stood next to the mailbox at the corner of the street, looking at Cang Fengqian with some admiration.

The latter was already panting heavily because of running all the way here, but he still tried to glare at him: "Who, weak?"

Kurosawa Jin shrugged with a relaxed look on his face: "Ah~ whoever agrees is the winner."

Cang Fengqian: “…” You bastard!
After his friends had caught their breath, Kurosawa Zhen looked towards the convenience supermarket not far away, which was their target this time.

In fact, they originally followed the principle of proximity...

But who knew that the nearest grocery store was closed!
Moreover, there were passers-by coming and going in front of the door, and there were more than a dozen large locks. Even if Hei Ze Zhen wanted to pry the lock open and get in, he had to consider how to pry the door open without being discovered in a street full of people.

"We don't have much time." Kurosawa Jin looked seriously at the clock on the street and said in a deep voice to his friend.

They had saved a lot of time by running all the way here, but it was already past twelve o'clock.

If we add a setting like 'If the child is not fed within an hour, the hunger value will drop', it may feel more urgent.

However, Kurosawa Jin already feels like he is playing a cultivation game in the real world...

Cang Fengqian didn't feel too much urgency, and looked at Hei Zezhen strangely, "It's only noon, it's still early, isn't it?"

Kurosawa Jin turned around and said, "But Xiaojie and the others should be very hungry, right?"

Cang Fengqian remained calm, "I usually go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon... I usually don't eat lunch."

"…It tasted great. Don't eat like this next time."

"......?" Cang Feng looked puzzled, then he looked towards the supermarket entrance and got down to business, "How do you want to steal?"

Kurosawa Jin snapped his fingers and said, "This is easy... I will be responsible for attracting the attention of the store clerks, and you go to pick the goods. Um... How many clerks are there among them?"

"On a."

"Yoshi! Let's go!"

Hei Ze Zhen immediately strode forward, dragging Cang Feng forward with him, looking very heroic and confident. It didn't look like they were going to steal anything, but rather like they were going to shop for a rich man.

Cang Fengqian: "..."

Is it really okay to rob a supermarket so openly?
……

In the retro pavilion restaurant diagonally opposite the supermarket.

The young man in a black tuxedo played with his black hat, sipping tea from time to time, and sometimes put down the teacup to "tease" the roses in the vase beside the table.

Inadvertently, he looked through the window and saw two children striding barefoot towards the supermarket, one of whom had shiny silver hair.

Seeing this, the boy couldn't help but frown - in such a cold day, how could there be a child walking on the street without shoes and wearing such thin clothes?

Some doubts arose in his mind, and curiosity urged the boy to go down and take a look.

The boy followed his heart and stood up.

Can……

"Daoyi! Where are you going?"

The boy was forced to stop and turned to look at the plump middle-aged man who was wiping his hands with a handkerchief. He lowered his head and said, "Teacher... I saw two children without shoes and wearing very little clothes, so I wanted to go down and take a look..."

"Daoyi, you shouldn't be concerned about the poor people!" The teacher frowned, "Those poor people are not from the same world as us... You should focus on tonight's celebration."

"...Yes, I understand, teacher." The boy lowered his head and sat back in his seat silently.

However, he totally disagreed with what his teacher said and secretly complained about it in his heart.

And the 'teacher' felt very satisfied when he saw his apprentice was obedient.

Before the dishes they ordered were served, he began to test the boy:
"Tonight's city-building celebration will be your debut, Daoyi. Show me the results of your recent training."

"Okay, teacher." The boy temporarily gathered his thoughts, placed the hat in his hand next to the vase on the edge of the table, then twisted his wrist, and a brand new deck of cards instantly appeared in his hand.

The boy first showed the deck of cards, which was perfectly arranged. He shuffled the cards, with all the suits facing down, and spread them out in a fan shape before handing them to his teacher. "Teacher, please pick a card at random. I will tell you the suit and number of the card you picked."

The teacher frowned deeply, looking dissatisfied, but he still followed his instructions and randomly drew a card.

Afterwards, the boy did not make any unnecessary movements. He just stacked the cards, smiled slightly, and stared at the back of the cards in his teacher's hand for a while. "I think the card in your hand should be the Queen of Clubs."

As soon as the boy said this, the teacher's expression suddenly became very ugly, with a hint of anger on his face.

He turned the flower side of the poker card towards his apprentice and said, "Daoyi, is this the result of your training during this period of time? You actually made a mistake with such a simple technique!"

The poker card in the teacher's hand was the Ace of Diamonds.

It is completely different from the Queen of Clubs.

The boy blinked, looking surprised, "Huh? Teacher, do you want to confirm it again?"

The 'teacher' was obviously a little angry and wanted to throw the playing cards on the table without even looking at them.

At this time, the boy spoke again: "Teacher, take another look at the poker in your hand... Is it really just a poker card?"

"what?"

The 'teacher' was stunned for a moment and looked down at the playing cards.

As he glanced downward, the boy quickly snapped his fingers.

'Snapped'--

Only a slight explosion was heard.

The poker cards that were originally held in the teacher's fingertips withered and shattered in an instant.

The four shattered cards turned into blood-red rose petals that floated on the table... no more, no less, exactly twelve.

What the 'teacher' was holding on his fingertips now was just a flower stem without petals.

"Oh! It seems that I got the color wrong." The boy suddenly realized something and picked up the petals with a smile, "It should be... Rose Twelve."

This performance made the teacher stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help showing joy on his face, "Good! Good! Daoyi, you are indeed my most outstanding disciple! I believe that everyone will cheer for you at the celebration tonight!"

"Thank you, teacher."

Hei Yu Daoyi revealed a faint smile and silently picked up the petals one by one.

However, the two barefoot boys were still imprinted in his mind...

However, just when the boy turned his head to see if the two children were still there, two little figures suddenly ran out of the convenience store diagonally opposite - weren't they the two barefoot ones just now?

Moreover, a male clerk with a broom chased out of the convenience store and yelled, "You two little bastards! If you steal from us again, I will break your legs!"

juvenile:"……"

These two kids, are they, thieves?

He looked dazed for a moment.

Then, he remembered something and said to his teacher, "Teacher, one of my classmates said he wanted to come and see my performance... Could you please contact the venue and make it easier?"

"Your classmates?"

"Well, he is a white horse..."

"Oh? The cabinet minister's son?" The teacher's eyes brightened. "Don't worry, I will explain it to them at the venue."

The boy still had an impeccable smile on his face: "Thank you, teacher!"

"These are all small things... As long as you perform well at the ceremony tonight to celebrate the completion of the city's reconstruction, it will be the greatest thank you to me." The 'teacher' said kindly.

Soon, the food they ordered was almost served.

The boy picked up a mouthful of noodles absentmindedly, his eyes still glancing at the Indian snow with two rows of feet.

This city...

Is it really rebuilt?
