Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan
Chapter 40: "Newcomer" Appears & Gaining a Little Fangirl Ayumi (1)
Continuing from the last chapter, a few days later, the people arranged by Hua Lantian drove his newly bought yacht to pick up Dr. Cheng Shi, who had been waiting for a long time on Yueying Island, and brought him back to Tokyo.
This poor traveler is Zhu Fujingguang, Hua Lantian's "subordinate" who just returned to Neon and hasn't even settled down yet.
He had just received a notice from Hua Lantian saying that the restaurant was almost done and other matters had been resolved, so he could come over. However, before he could even clean up the house that Hua Lantian bought for him, Hua Lantian asked him to go to the port to pick him up on the yacht he bought.
There was no way, since Hua Lantian was his current "boss". Although he complained, he still got things done quickly.
On the way back to Tokyo, Morobushi Kagemitsu, sitting in the yacht seat and looking at the sea scenery, suddenly remembered that he had not communicated much with this person from the past. He was in a hurry just now, so he just asked him to get on the boat directly, and he did it without saying a word.
After taking a closer look, he found that the face was good-looking, but after all, he had known Hua Lantian for a long time, and Zhu Fujingguang had previously engaged in espionage and criminal investigation activities. He immediately realized that this face was just a hastily made human face mask.
Although he guessed from the beginning that this person should not be that simple, the clever Zhu Fujingguang now roughly understood what kind of deal he should have reached with Hua Lantian.
However, Zhu Fujingguang didn't care about the transaction. He felt that this person must have some outstanding qualities, so he also wanted to get to know him. People in their line of work need to make friends widely, so that they can sometimes get information that can determine the outcome.
He looked at Ma Chengshi and said, "Sir, my name is Zhuge Jingguang. May I ask your name?" Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he used his current pseudonym, which was thought of by Hua Lantian. After all, the two names were very similar.
"Oh, of course. My name is Asano Minoru, and I'm a doctor...!"
Asano didn't expect that the handsome man in front of him who was sent by Hua Lantian to pick him up suddenly asked his name, but he thought that since he was a "subordinate" sent by Hua Lantian, it would be okay to tell him his real name.
And I heard that this case is quite big. After all, it involves murder and drug cases, and it is also related to the arson and murder of three people many years ago. Therefore, the police hid his real name and he doesn't have to worry too much.
Sure enough, Zhu Fujingguang didn't say anything, but when he heard his profession, his eyes lit up. After all, they were not official personnel when they were shot, so doctors were quite useful at this time.
"That's a really nice name, and your job is pretty good too...! Unlike me, I can only work for Lantian processing data now (┳Д┳)"
Zhu Fu Jingguang said this with emotion, and complained about Hua Lantian by the way.
"Really? Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be Mr. Hua's assistant...! You're so young and promising! I remember Mr. Hua seemed very wealthy...! You've worked so hard ╮(─▽─)╭"
Asanami admired sincerely. He also felt that Morobushi Kagemitsu must have worked very hard, because Hua Lantian had told him about his own story before, and he also went to Tokyo frequently, so he occasionally read reports.
"Not as good as you think, but I'm not his assistant. If you insist, I'm his 'subordinate'. But he always treats me as a friend who is a little older than him. Lan Tian is really a good person..."
Zhu Fujingguang thought of something, looked into the distance with a nostalgic look, and then said.
“Indeed…~”
Asami Shigenori also reminisced.
It wasn't long before they reached the shore. Of course, they could see from a distance a black car with a silver front shining in the sun. Looking closely, they saw a person leaning against the car, looking at them.
As soon as they got off the yacht, Zhu Fujingguang pulled Ma Shengshi, who had already prepared himself mentally but still felt that Hua Lantian was a wicked rich man, to the car.
Then he said hello to Hua Lantian in a very unhappy tone, "Hey, Lantian, you are such a jerk. But since you drove the Silver Thorn II to pick us up and allowed me to rest a little comfortably, I will simply forgive you for now...!"
"Sorry, sorry, Jingguang, I just happened to go to the restaurant to check on it and see how many days it's going to take before it can open...! You've worked so hard, I'll cook you a big meal when I get back later, as a reward, okay...!"
Hua Lantian touched his head and said embarrassedly, then he put his hands together and made a suggestion in a slightly "flattering" manner.
Masamichi Masashi on the side was also stunned when he saw how the two of them got along. He was just thinking that rich people were really evil, but before he could react, he was confused again.
"Alright, since you're so sincere, I'll forgive you. But I'm telling you, how long are you going to leave our guests hanging...?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang turned his head away "arrogantly" and then "forgave" Hua Lantian. He was actually joking with Hua Lantian, and Hua Lantian knew it, but this was how they got along.
Then he quickly mentioned Ma Chengshi, otherwise it would be impolite.
"Look at me, Chengshi. I've kept you waiting for so long. I'm sorry. Things have been okay lately. I think the money is enough for you. Now that everything is fine, I'll arrange a job for you right away so you can live a good life and fulfill your father's wish...!"
Hua Lantian took Ma Shengshi's hand and said with concern. He knew that Ma Shengshi must have been embarrassed for a while, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't help it when he saw Zhu Fu Jingguang ╮(╯▽╰)╭, so he hurried to find him now.
"It's okay, Mr. Hua. I'm doing fine lately. As for the job you mentioned, there's no need to rush. I heard you're opening a restaurant soon. If you don't mind, I can come and help out for a few days so Mr. Zhuge Jingguang can have a rest..."
Asanami was very touched and he offered to help.
"How can I be so embarrassed, Dr. Aso, just take a few days to rest, I'm fine... I was just joking...!"
The kind-hearted Zhu Fu Jingguang quickly refused.
However, after Ma Chengshi's repeated requests, Hua Lantian finally agreed on his behalf, and Hua Lantian asked him to go back to his hometown to see his brother and report his safety. After all, the two brothers had not seen each other for many years.
Zhu Fujingguang finally compromised. He had to admit that this proposal was too attractive to him. The word "brother" was a distant word to him. Ever since he entered the winery...
"Then let's go. I'll give you two a welcome dinner. I can make whatever you want. Let's go buy some food and then go to my house. We'll have a good meal and a good night's sleep. We'll talk about everything else tomorrow..."
Hua Lantian waved his hand and invited the two to get in the car.
"I can do anything, Mr. Hua..."
"Chengshi, you don't have to call me that. Just call me Lantian like Jingguang. It feels weird to keep calling me that, and it makes us feel distant, doesn't it? Well, you're in for a treat today. I'll show you what real Chinese cuisine tastes like! Ahahahaha...!"
"Then I'm really looking forward to the blue sky...!"
"Me too. It's been a while since I've had the Chinese food you cook. I've been traveling in China for so many years, but I've never eaten anything better than yours. I really miss it...!"
……
"Wow, there are so many things...! I'm so exhausted...!"
Hua Lantian was carrying all kinds of bags containing fresh food. He opened the door with a complaint and walked straight to the kitchen.
Following behind were Zhu Fu Jingguang and Ma Shengshi. The two of them were also "not willing to be outdone". Each of them carried large and small bags. In addition to clothes, they also carried various condiments, drinks, alcohol and other things.
They spent quite a bit of money on this big purchase, and when they were checking out, Ma Chengshi almost got dizzy from looking at the long list of receipts, plus the huge receivable amount at the end of one million ((●′?`●) to make it a whole number).
Although they both resisted, Hua Lantian kept asking them to take this and that, and eventually he accepted all these large and small packages for various reasons.
"Okay, go pack your things first. I'll go get Dr. Agasa to come over for dinner. Don't worry, Dr. Agasa is a very kind old man...! I'll start cooking when I get back...!"
Hua Lantian greeted the two of them and then went to Agasa's house.
"Dr. Agasa, are you home? I've come to see you and want to invite you to my house for dinner. I'd also like to introduce you to some friends...!"
Hua Lantian shouted on the pager.
"Ah, it's Lan Lan Niang. Professor Agasa is home, and our Junior Detective League is here too. We're playing at Professor Agasa's house today...!"
The voice on the other end of the pager was not from Dr. Agasa, but from Ayumi from the Junior Detective League who had disappeared for a long time.
She was very excited, after all, they hadn't seen their brother Lan Tian for a long time.
"It's Ayumi. I think you haven't eaten yet. Then come with me and Professor Agasa. I have prepared a lot of delicious food today...!"
Hua Lantian was also very happy to invite the Youth Suicide Group to come together, after all, they would see each other often in the future.
(By the way, Zhu Fu Jingguang also wears a mask, but his is a high-tech version...)
"Okay, okay. I'll go inform them. Please wait for us, Brother Lantian...!"
Ayumi was so excited that she almost jumped up, then she ran away after saying that.
In Dr. Agasa's living room, the other three members were playing video games fiercely under Dr. Agasa's caring gaze.
They saw Ayumi running over in a hurry and thought something big had happened.
Dr. Agasa asked curiously, "Ayumi, who's looking for me? Is there something urgent? You're running so fast, don't fall down...!"
"It's okay, Dr. Agasa. It's nothing serious. It's Brother Lantian. He invited us to his house for a big dinner. I heard he wants to introduce two people to you, Dr. Agasa...!"
Ayumi took a breath and then said happily.
"Oh, really? That's great. Let's go without further ado...!"
When Dr. Agasa heard that there would be delicious food to eat and friends to meet, he became very motivated and wished he could be at Hua Lantian's house right now.
Mitsuhiko and Genta were also very excited. They stood up and were about to follow him. Conan put down the controller in his hand and made a dead look. He was depressed that Hua Lantian started to please his friend again.
"Alright, we can't keep Lan Tian waiting any longer, let's pack up and leave."
Dr. Agasa urged and took the lead in cleaning up the messy living room, and the other little ones also started to work quickly.
Conan just stood aside and did nothing, but was discovered by Genta. Genta used his "school bully" skills and threatened him directly. Conan succumbed to his tyranny and had no choice but to do his work obediently.
"Kacha, sizzle~ Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Lantian. I just cleaned up the house, it's a bit messy, ahahaha..."
Dr. Agasa touched his head with one hand, opened the door with the other hand, and said embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lantian, it's all our fault for making such a mess at Dr. Agasa's house that we kept you waiting for so long...!"
A few little ones also tried their best to make their presence felt and echoed with great apology.
"It's okay. You are all really good kids. You even remember to help clean up. Okay, I'll give each child a delicious dessert later."
Hua Lantian said with a smile.
"Yeah...!" x3
"I'm going to report Conan, he was just slacking off! He shouldn't be able to eat...!"
The "school bully" Yuan Tai coolly stood up and reported Conan who had just been lazy.
"Hey hey...you're exaggerating too much, Yuanta...!"
Conan complained in a low voice. Genta heard it and glared at him fiercely.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll add one for Genta later, and Conan's will be for Genta...! Let's go quickly, I have to start cooking quickly, otherwise it will be too late..."
Hua Lantian smiled mischievously and then made the final decision.
"Great!"
Yuan Tai waved his hands happily.
Then everyone followed Hua Lantian to the Hua residence next door.
"Wow, it's really beautiful...!" X3
Several children were very surprised and praised Hua Lantian's home sincerely. Hua Lantian smiled.
"Kids, no matter how much you praise us, we don't have any more food. These were originally prepared for us to eat, so come in and sit down and have a drink first."
"Ah, no, we're really impressed. We'll come in right away...!"
Several people said in unison.
"Dr. Agasa, please and Conan entertain them. I'm going to cook first."
Hua Lantian and Dr. Agasa said, and then he hurried to find Morobushi Keimitsu and Asanari Miura to tell them that some children had come, and Conan was among them, and asked them to pay attention.
Then he started cooking. Today's dishes were fried crab with typhoon shelter, fried clams and razor clams, hot pot, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables (any vegetables).
Everyone was attracted by the authentic Chinese cuisine, especially Dr. Agasa, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Kojima Genta. The three of them were the biggest rivals at the table. Each of them was desperately trying to grab the food, with their mouths full of oil.
Although the others were amazed, they still ate rationally. Conan observed the two new faces while eating and felt that the two new people in Hua Lantian's house were a little strange...
