I, the Buddhist who raises leopards in the Conan world

The cheetah squinted its eyes comfortably, the tip of its tail swayed gently, and it rubbed its head against Haibara Ai's knees from time to time.

"It's incredible..." Dr. Agasa pushed his glasses and exclaimed, "Mr. Shen, you've raised this 'big cat' in a really 'special' way.

"No wonder you said you had to make a lot of money to raise a cat. This guy must eat at least five kilograms of meat every day, right? You must work hard to keep him well fed!" Shen Yuan sat down on the sofa. Lightning immediately looked up at him, and after confirming that his master had no intention of summoning him, he lay back down at Huiyuan Ai's feet with peace of mind.

"Doctor, are you worried that Lightning might eat people?" Shen Yuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, he has undergone professional socialization training.

Unless they are in imminent danger, or judge that their master is threatened, they will not attack!" Dr. Agasa asked curiously, "Isn't this training very complicated?"

"It does require patience!" Shen Yuan nodded, "But compared to the doctor's invention, it may be relatively simple!" Speaking of inventions, Dr. Agasa's eyes lit up: "Speaking of this, I'm currently improving the solar converter. The efficiency has increased by 15%, but the heat dissipation problem still exists..." The two quickly started chatting about technical topics, from quantum physics to the application of new materials. Shen Yuan occasionally raised a few key points, and he was always able to accurately get to the doctor's research bottleneck.

While stroking Lightning's soft fur, Haibara Ai quietly observed Shen Yuan - the focused look on this man's face when he talked about technology was completely different from those gloomy scientists in the organization.

"...So if we use graphene composite materials instead, maybe we can solve the problem of uneven heat conduction!" Shen Yuan said, taking the design drawing handed by the doctor and drawing a few auxiliary lines on it.

Dr. Agasa clapped his thigh and laughed: "Great! Why didn't I think of this angle!" Haibara Ai lowered her eyes, and her fingertips unconsciously curled Lightning's hair.

She recalled the organizational atmosphere she had felt when she opened the door just now, but now it had disappeared without a trace in this scene full of fireworks.

Maybe... I'm just too sensitive? She secretly looked up and saw Shen Yuan smiling as he pushed a cup of warm jasmine tea in front of the doctor. The sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting a soft shadow on his profile.

Chapter 36: Chat at the Table

"Ding——" The kitchen timer rang crisply, and Shen Yuan got up to turn off the fire.

The aroma of corn and pork ribs soup has filled the entire living room, mixed with the sour and sweet taste of tomato and beef brisket soup, which whets one's appetite.

"Dinner is ready!" Shen Yuan brought the casserole to the table. Golden corn and tender green onions floated on the steaming soup.

Huihara Ai helped to set the table, and when her fingertips touched the soup spoon handed to her by Shen Yuan, she paused imperceptibly - the smell that made her uneasy was completely covered by the aroma of food.

On the dining table, the sweet and sour spare ribs glowed with an amber luster, and the scallions on the steamed sea bass were juicy and green.

Dr. Agasa couldn't wait to pick up a piece of Mapo Tofu. He was panting because of the spiciness but was reluctant to put down his chopsticks.

"Mr. Shen's cooking skills are really professional!" The doctor took a sip of ice water, "This tastes more authentic than the restaurants in Chinatown!" Conan's chopsticks hovered above the sweet and sour pork ribs, and the lens suddenly reflected a sharp white light: "Speaking of which, yesterday's case..." He deliberately used a childish tone to cover up his temptation, "Thanks to Brother Shen for discovering the clue of the liquid nitrogen tank first~" His eyes behind the lenses flashed with an inquiring light, "Brother Shen's observation skills are really sharp!" Before Shen Yuan could answer, Dr. Agasa interrupted with a smile: "New--" There were still grains of rice on Dr. Agasa's round face, and he was nailed to the spot by Conan's eyes as soon as he said something.

The old inventor hurriedly grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth and cover up, "Ahem, Conan..." He glanced at Shen Yuan who was feeding Lightning with dried venison, "Mr. Shen published a paper on quantum tunneling effect in Nature when he was sixteen, and the nano-laser calibration device he designed last year won the gold medal at the International Invention Exhibition... Mr. Shen is a young genius, you still have a lot to learn!" Conan puffed up his face in dissatisfaction: "Next time I will definitely find the key clues first!" Conan's chopsticks poked into the rice with a "pop".

This reaction made Haibara Ai, who was serving soup, smile slightly - there are not many opportunities to see the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" suffer a setback.

"Conan-kun is already very impressive!" Shen Yuan pretended not to know Conan's identity and served him a bowl of soup. "When I was your age, I only knew how to play all day. I didn't love reading as much as you do, and I'm not as knowledgeable as you are!"

"I, I'm not that great!" Conan immediately pretended to be innocent and scratched his head, with cold sweat oozing out of the back of his neck, "It was Shinichi who taught me!"

"Shinichi?" Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Is that the high school detective in the newspaper? I heard he disappeared recently?"

"He's not missing!" Conan's voice suddenly rose, then softened under Huibara Ai's warning gaze, "He's just investigating a transnational case..." Shen Yuan nodded in realization, turned to Dr. Agasa and sighed, "Japan really has a thriving detective culture.

High school students in the flower-growing countries are all preparing for the college entrance examinations, so they don't have time to participate in solving cases. Besides, our country doesn't have such employment trends!" Dr. Agasa wiped the sweat off his forehead and laughed dryly when he thought of Japan's high crime rate.

"Come to think of it," Shen Yuan scooped the corn from the soup, "I've been in Japan for less than half a year, and I've already encountered more than ten murders.

It's always the detectives who solve the cases, and the police are just going through the motions!" Conan's mouth twitched, thinking that Inspector Megure and his men often relied on detectives to solve cases.

Dr. Agasa's chopsticks suddenly reached for the last piece of pork ribs, successfully changing the subject: "Are all high school students in the Flower Planting Family so busy?"

"The college entrance examination factory is much more cruel than a murder scene!" Shen Yuan gently stirred the corn kernels in the bowl with a spoon. "Early morning self-study at five in the morning, and the sea of ​​test questions at midnight..." He suddenly chuckled, "At least murders don't happen every month.

It's still safe!" The restaurant suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Haibara Ai's spoon stopped in mid-air, and Conan's glasses slid to the tip of his nose.

"Ahem... the spare ribs today are so mushy..." Dr. Agasa's chopsticks made a harsh sound on the plate.

Huihara Ai drank her soup quietly, her eyes fixed on Shen Yuan's hands as he cut the steak - his slender fingers were steady and powerful, with thin calluses formed on his palms for unknown reasons.

Such a talent was surprisingly not targeted by the organization... Was it because the flower-growing family's identity was too sensitive? Even the organization didn't want to get into trouble with this.

She lowered her eyelashes, the heat of the soup blurring her vision.

If she and her sister had fled to that country... After dinner, the sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the carpet in the living room, making it so warm that it made people feel lazy.

Haibara Ai got up and went to the kitchen to make tea. The kettle was bubbling with steam. She held the teaspoon in her fingers and gently stirred the black tea. The fragrance of the tea wafted in the air.

Shen Yuan opened the dessert box he brought. The amber honey of the osmanthus candied lotus root sparkled in the sun, and the coconut milk red bean cake was crystal clear, exuding a faint coconut fragrance.

Ai Huihara walked back to the living room carrying the tea tray, her fingertips tightened slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally plucked up the courage and gently placed a cup of steaming black tea in front of Shen Yuan.

She tilted her head slightly, her short brown hair falling down, covering the red tips of her ears, and her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "...Thank you Brother Shen Yuan for lunch, it's delicious!" Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently: "You're welcome, if Huibara likes it, I can make something else next time!" Huibara Ai pursed her lips and said nothing, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

She turned and walked towards Lightning, squatted down, and stretched out her hand. The cheetah tilted its head, then took the initiative to move closer and rubbed her palm with its nose.

Ai Haibara's fingertips gently stroked the lightning silver-gray fur, "...It really won't bite?" she asked in a low voice.

"No!" Shen Yuan looked at her with a smile, "Unless someone wants to hurt me, it won't even show its claws!" Upon hearing this, Huiyuan Ai paused her fingers slightly, then lowered her eyelashes and continued to gently stroke Lightning's back.

The cheetah seemed to enjoy her touch, purring softly in its throat and even rolling over to reveal its soft belly.

On the other side, Conan had already taken out Dr. Agasa's game console and waved to Shen Yuan excitedly: "Brother Shen, do you want to play a game? The latest fighting game!" Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure? I won't show mercy!" Conan pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected a confident white light: "Come on!" The two sat cross-legged on the carpet, the buttons on the controller clattered, and the characters on the screen clashed fiercely.

Conan's operation was fast and accurate, but Shen Yuan's reaction was not much slower. After a few rounds, the outcome was hard to determine.

"That's awesome, Conan!" Shen Yuan chuckled, "Your level is not like that of an elementary school student!" Conan's fingers stiffened, and he almost pressed the wrong key. He laughed dryly: "Ha, ha ha, it was Brother Shinichi who taught me!" Shen Yuan said "Oh" meaningfully, "Kudo is really amazing. He taught Conan very well. I believe Kudo will be a good father in the future!" Conan's fingers trembled violently, and the game character was instantly hit by a big move, and his health bar dropped to the bottom.

When the word "KO" flashed on the screen, the tips of his ears were already red enough to drip blood.

"Puff!" Conan's mind instantly flashed with a picture - Xiaolan was holding a baby whose eyebrows and eyes looked very much like his, standing at the door of Kudo's house and smiling gently: "Welcome home, husband!"

"Wow--!!" The little detective exploded like a boiling kettle. His face flushed red and visible steam even came out of his head.

He hurriedly grabbed the pillow and pressed it against his face, curling up in the corner of the sofa like a cooked shrimp.

"New...Conan?!" Dr. Agasa was so scared that he almost knocked over the teacup.

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan coldly: "It seems that someone's reasoning ability cannot withstand the delusions of adolescence!" Lightning was attracted by the sudden movement, and curiously leaned over to sniff the smoking Conan, then sneezed in disgust and walked to Dr. Agasa.

"Ah, ahahaha..." The old inventor laughed dryly, stretched out his hand carefully, and gently touched Lightning's head, "Good, good boy..." Haibara Ai sat aside, holding Lightning's head in her arms, drinking tea and watching this good show.

The sunlight fell on her cheek, warm and allowing her to relax in a rare way.

The sunlight shines through the gauze curtains, casting warm spots of light on the wooden floor.

The black tea on the coffee table was steaming, and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and candied lotus root mixed with the plastic smell of the game console formed a wonderful afternoon picture.

Conan finally raised his head from the pillow, the blush on his face still not completely faded.

He pushed his crooked glasses and muttered softly, "...I'll definitely win it back next time!"

Chapter 37 Visit to Poirot Cafe

The sun was setting, and Shen Yuan and Conan had agreed to send him back to the detective agency, so - a sweet smell wafted out of Dr. Agasa's kitchen again. Shen Yuan stood in front of the stove, gently stirring the wok with the spatula in his hand.

The amber sauce wrapped around the pork belly pieces, bubbling with fine bubbles under the licking of the flames.

"Mr. Shen, this smells so good!" Dr. Agasa sniffed and leaned over, his glasses misted over. "Is this the cherry flesh you were talking about?"

"Mmm, sweet and sour!" Shen Yuan flicked his wrist and slid a few pitted cherries into the pot, "Mr. Amuro made venison jerky for Lightning before, so I have to return the favor.

"Thank you, Professor, for providing the kitchen and ingredients!" Dr. Agasa continued to smell the sweet aroma, but he was too full to eat anymore. He just imagined that Shen Yuan could make this dish for him next time he visited. After hearing Shen Yuan's words, he said, "Haha, Mr. Amuro and I are also very familiar with each other. Don't be polite, Mr. Shen, next time you have time, you can invite Mr. Amuro to have a party at my house!" Conan tiptoed to look into the pot and asked curiously, "Why use pork belly?"

"It's tender only when fat and lean meat are alternating!" Shen Yuan gently pressed the meat pieces with the back of a spoon to evenly coat them with the sauce. "First blanch them with cooking wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, then simmer over low heat..." Finally, drizzle a few drops of balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavor, and Shen Yuan put the cherry meat into a thermal food box.

The glossy meat pieces are wrapped in crystal sauce and dotted with bright red cherries, like an impressionistic ink painting.

"Done!" He closed the lid, turned around and winked at Conan, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the office!" As the setting sun dyed the streets of Beika Town orange, Shen Yuan's Volvo slowly stopped in front of Poirot Cafe.

Conan jumped out of the car: "Thank you, Brother Shen, for taking me back!"

"You're welcome!" Shen Yuan unbuckled his seat belt and took out an exquisite insulated lunch box from the back seat.

Lightning couldn't wait to squeeze to the car door, his ice-blue eyes fixed on the glass door of the cafe.

The moment he pushed the door open, exclamations rang out in the coffee shop.

Several female customers covered their mouths with their eyes wide open; while the braver customers had already taken out their mobile phones to take pictures of the lightning.

The man who was wiping the cup was standing by and looking at the table.

"Hey! Leopard, leopard?!" The lightning-silver-gray figure shone with a pearly luster in the twilight, and its slender tail swept across the door frame.

It ignored the commotion around it, its ice-blue pupils locked on the familiar figure behind the bar, and it immediately trotted over with elegant cat steps, its paw pads making a slight "tapping" sound as they touched the wooden floor.

Conan trotted after him and couldn't help but complain when he saw this: "Hey, this guy is more excited to see Amuro brother than to see meat..." Conan nimbly got to the front of the bar and sat on the high stool on tiptoe: "Amuro brother, I'm back!"

"Welcome back!" Toru Amuro put down the siphon pot he was wiping and rubbed Conan's hair with a smile.

When Lightning approached, Toru Amuro pressed his right hand precisely on the cheetah's forehead, and his left hand supported its jaw, skillfully scratching its furry neck.

"Miss Xiaozi, don't be nervous!" He raised his head and gave a soothing smile to the waitress who was standing there in a daze, his finger still lingering on the sensitive spot behind Lightning's ear, "This is a domesticated cheetah, professionally trained, and will not attack people!" When Shen Yuan approached with the food box, the waitress looked at the food box and said to the waitress, "It's a cheetah that has been raised in our house. It has received professional training and will not attack people!"

"I'm here to send Conan off!" Shen Yuan placed the lacquered wooden food box with bamboo patterns on the bar, and tapped the embossed lid with his fingertips, "By the way, let Mr. Amuro taste my cooking!" Amuro Tou raised his eyebrows, and as the lid was lifted, a rich sweet and sour aroma instantly filled the entire cafe - the amber sauce wrapped around the square pieces of meat, showing a crystal caramel luster under the setting sun, and the bright red cherries were like scattered gems inlaid in it.

"Please use it!" Shen Yuan pushed over a fork.

When Toru Amuro's fork pierced the meat, he could clearly feel the crispiness of the surface and the softness of the inside.

When his teeth bit through the caramelized surface, sweet and sour juice immediately burst out in his mouth. His purple-gray eyes widened slightly. The fat part had already been stewed into gelatin, forming a perfect layering with the lean meat fibers.

"This taste..." Toru Amuro put down his fork, a hint of genuine surprise in his eyes, "Mr. Shen's cooking skills are really amazing!" He raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a smile that was much more sincere than usual, "The balance of sour and sweet is just right, the meat is soft and tender without losing its texture, it's delicious!" Conan came over curiously: "Can I try it?" Toru Amuro handed Conan a fork.

On the other side, the three people in the same group were very happy, and they took advantage of the situation to find that the two people were very happy.

"Um..." She looked at Amuro Toru at a loss.

"This is Mr. Shen Yuan, the owner of Lightning!" Amuro Toru introduced while wiping his fork, "Mr. Shen, this is our waiter Shen!" Shen Yuan squatted down and gently rubbed Lightning's furry head with his slender fingers.

The cheetah immediately raised its head, looking at its master with moist ice-blue eyes, whimpering in its throat, and rubbing Shen Yuan's wrist with the tip of its nose, just like a child asking for candy.

"Miss Xiaozi, don't be fooled by it," Shen Yuan laughed, "This guy had a full meal at noon, and now he's pretending to be pitiful!" He pinched Lightning's ears, "And the doctor specifically warned that the cheetah's digestive system is not suitable for high-sugar foods!" Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was ineffective, Lightning simply lay on the ground, resting his head on his paws, his ears drooping pitifully, his tail also hanging limply, and from time to time he would sneak a peek at the sandwiches in the glass cabinet.

Amuro Toru couldn't help but chuckle as he watched this scene.

He squatted down and looked at Lightning at eye level: "How about I make you a special reduced-sugar sandwich next time? Use venison and low-sugar bread!" As he said that, he reached out and touched Lightning's moist nose, "But you have to be good today!" Lightning immediately stood up and rubbed Amuro Toru's knee affectionately with his head, with such force that he almost knocked the squatting Amuro Toru to the ground.

The 20th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Peoples' Republic of China was held in Tiananmen square in Beijing. The 20th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Peoples' Republic of China was held in Tiananmen square in Beijing. The 20th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Peoples' Republic of China was held in Tiananmen square in Beijing.

"Goodbye!" Shen Yuan responded with a smile, watching the little boy disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Shen Yuan looked at the darkening sky outside the window and gently patted Lightning's head to signal him to leave.

Seeing this, Toru Amuro wrapped two fresh sandwiches in oil paper and carefully tied them with hemp rope.

"Here, consider it a return gift for dinner!" He handed the paper bag to Shen Yuan, his purple-gray eyes looking particularly gentle under the warm yellow light.

Then he squatted down, rubbed Lightning's furry head, and said in a gentle tone: "I'm sorry that I didn't prepare anything for you to eat today!" Lightning seemed to understand, and gently nudged the palm of Amuro Toru's hand with the tip of his nose, making a coquettish purring sound.

Amuro Toru couldn't help but chuckle: "I'll make it up to you next time, okay? A special venison sandwich!" Shen Yuan took the still warm sandwich and brushed his fingertips across the back of Amuro Toru's hand.

"Thank you in advance!" He smiled slightly and took the leash of Lightning, "It's time for us to go!" When he pushed the door open and walked out, amid the crisp sound of wind chimes, Amuro Toru's voice came from behind: "Be careful on the road!" Shen Yuan turned around and saw the blond man standing in the warm light, waving at him.

Lightning also turned around and hummed softly, as if saying goodbye.

Chapter 38 Top Killer's Special Training

Shen Yuan returned to the apartment with Lightning.

After pushing open the door, the cheetah leaped lightly across the entrance, its tail wagging happily, obviously very satisfied with today's trip.

Shen Yuan placed the sandwich given by Amuro on the coffee table, warned Lightning not to eat it secretly, and then turned and went into the kitchen.

Take out the pre-marinated ribs from the refrigerator, wrap them with soaked glutinous rice, and arrange them neatly in the steamer.

The water vapor quickly condensed into fine water droplets on the glass lid, and the fragrance of glutinous rice mixed with the aroma of pork ribs filled the kitchen.

This is the "tuition" Shen Yuan prepared for Gin today.

Lightning squatted at the kitchen door, looking at him eagerly.

Shen Yuan smiled and prepared a special cat rice in another pot - low-fat venison mixed with brown rice and vegetables, and finally garnished with a few blueberries.

"Your dinner!" He placed the bowl on Lightning's special food bowl rack. Lightning lowered his head to sniff, then began to eat with satisfaction.

Only then did Shen Yuan pick up the sandwich given to him by Amuro Toru and take a bite.

The tuna filling was mixed with crisp vegetables, and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was really delicious.

He leaned against the counter, ate slowly, and threw the wrapping paper into the trash can.

The clock on the wall shows 19:40.

Shen Yuan wiped his hands, walked to Lightning and squatted down: "I'm going out. I've already taken you out to play today, so you have to stay and look after the house tonight!" Cheetah whimpered softly in his throat and rubbed his head against his knees, trying to change his mind.
