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

Chapter 450 Conan’s straight shot?
"question?"

Lie blinked, looked at Conan at the door, revealed an expression of realization, and pulled Conan and Hiroki in with a smile, "Oh~ That's the question, right? Come on, come in and talk~"

Conan was dragged into the house by Lie with a confused look on his face.

Qiu...Qiudousada! He hasn't asked the question yet! How does Mr. Lin know what he is going to ask?

With doubts, Conan was pressed on the sofa.

By the way, this was not the first time Conan came to Lie's house, but this time he came with a purpose, so he seemed a little nervous.

Lie smiled and settled the person down, then ran to the kitchen to get two glasses of water: "Come on, drink some water. Hongshu, you should drink some too."

He was also considerate enough to add ice cubes to the water.

But there’s a problem – this is inherently cold water.

For a moment, Conan suspected that Rei wanted him to choke to death by drinking the ice water, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it seemed unnecessary, so he just stared blankly at the ice cubes floating in the water, and then drank up the water that was not yet completely cold in one gulp.

At this time, Hongshu took a look at the water cup, and his eyes twitched, "Uncle, this is not boiling water, why are you adding ice?"

"...Eh? Isn't this hot?" Lie looked confused and blinked innocently, "I was wondering why the water today is not hot at all..."

"Are you sure you boiled the water?" Hiroki Sawada squinted his eyes.

Lie stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "Hmm... not sure."

"..."

Conan still had the cup in his hand, and after hearing these words, he suddenly felt his stomach protesting.

"But Conan drank it, so he must have gotten burned, right?" Lie analyzed rationally.

Conan: "..."

No, he wasn't sure.

Speaking of which, drinking raw water shouldn’t kill people, right?
Sawada Hiroki rolled his eyes and didn't reply, but his actions showed his attitude:

He ran to the kitchen and turned on the kettle, and poured all the water in the quilt into the sink.

When they got to the living room later, Hiroki looked at Retsu and asked, "Where's dinner?"

Lie spread his hands, "No~ I've already ordered delivery from the restaurant, but it probably won't be here for a while."

Conan: "..." How should he start asking his question?

Just when he was struggling, Lie looked at Conan as expected with a bright smile:
"By the way, Conan, are you having trouble doing your homework? You've come to the right person. You know, I did every word of Hiroki's homework more than once."

Conan's eyes: "Homework?"

"... Ang?" Lie saw that Conan's reaction was not right and tilted his head, "Why, aren't you going to ask about the homework?"

"...Ah, no, that's not it. It's something else."

Conan scratched his cheek a little nervously, looked at Hiroki, and then at Retsu.

He felt that Hattori's proposal...was not a good idea.

He felt a little offended by being asked directly like this... If his brain hadn't been squeezed by all kinds of questions these days and was about to explode, Conan would never have been willing to run to Rei's house to confront him face to face.

Lie didn't have any special reaction. He sat down on the chair next to him, hugging the backrest. "Any other questions?"

At this time, Hiroki also went to the cargo box next to him and took out a few bags of snacks, and threw one bag each to Lie and Conan.

From the conversation just now, we can tell that the three of them haven’t eaten yet.

So, it is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with sharing snacks to satisfy your cravings.

After they started to eat the snacks, Hiroki and Retsu stared at Conan with curiosity, wanting to see what earth-shattering question he wanted to ask. Conan: ...

Feeling a lot of pressure.

"Well, that is... Uncle Lin, you and Uncle Bai Fengjie who used to be in Yokohama have been good friends for a long time, right?" Conan organized his words a little.

Lie's eyes slightly opened, and then he smiled: "Yeah~ Yeah, we are brothers~"

Conan was stunned: "Brother? Aren't you a friend?"

"Brothers can also be friends." Lie blinked twice quickly, "Actually, he and I are twins~"

Conan's eyes: "Ah, yes, twins..."

No wonder he felt that Mr. Bai Fengjie was very similar to Mr. Lin...

At this point, Hiroki had already guessed the purpose of Conan's visit. After praying that Conan would leave after asking his questions, he took out a novel from the gap between the sofa and began to read it intently while eating snacks.

Lie nodded like pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, but we don't know who is bigger, so he always wants to suppress me... How can I let him succeed~"

(Somewhere, a shadow sneezed.)
"Then, Uncle Lin, why don't you and he have the same surname?"

"Well~ Because we were adopted by different families, so our last names are different~"

He smiled fiercely and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

But with Lie opening up the conversation, Conan lost his restraint as he had just come in, and leaned forward a little, "Uncle Lin... do you know a man called Cang Fengqian?"

"In front of Cang Feng?" Lie tilted his head.

"Well...that's it..."

When Conan was hesitating whether to talk about the pattern in their three names, he saw Lie clapped his hands:

"Brother Qian! Of course I know him~"

Conan: "...?"

Wait, why didn't this development go as he imagined?!
Shouldn't Mr. Lin deny it first, and then he should draw conclusions and argue to make Mr. Lin surrender?

Lie didn't know Conan's rebellious thoughts, and didn't mean to hide their relationship at all. He just said, "We grew up together. Before Big Brother came, Qian Ge was our boss~"

Conan: ...

Why does it feel like a gangland scene?
"But later, Qian went to the Middle East to be a mercenary. I haven't seen him for a long time~ I didn't expect Conan to know Qian. Did he go back to Japan? Really, he didn't even tell me he came back. It's too much!"

Lie puffed up his cheeks, looking like he was very angry.

Hiroki was standing aside, still affected by the conversation between the two. His mouth twitched as he raised the novel to cover his face.

He gave full marks to Uncle Lie's ability to mix truth and lies and tell lies... No, you can't laugh, you have to be serious!
Conan's mouth twitched as well - he twitched because he had learned the 'truth':
He was still wondering why Uncle Cang Feng had such a terrifying aura. It turned out that he was a mercenary...

But are the other mercenaries that scary?

Conan, who had never seen a mercenary before, was a little cautious.

At the same time, he caught some questions in Lie's words: "Uncle Lin, didn't Uncle Cang Feng stay in China?"

"That's right~ We went to China first, and then Qian Ge went to Central Asia and Europe. Basically, we went back and forth~" Lie was very considerate and answered Conan's questions.

……us?
Conan's expression was a little dull, so the country Mr. Lin was staying in was actually China?

My goodness, he felt like he had wasted all these days of fear.
