I, the Buddhist who raises leopards in the Conan world

"Shen," Vodka couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Why do we have to eat barbecue here? This place...will there be wild animals?" Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan smiled and looked at Gin who had been silent all the time, and deliberately said: "Your elder brother is shy and doesn't want to see people, so he has to barbecue in a place where there is no one!" He paused, and added, "As for the wild animals? Don't you have your elder brother? Who do you think is stronger, your elder brother or the wild animals?" Vodka immediately straightened his back, with the attitude of a loyal younger brother: "Of course my elder brother is stronger! You don't know, my elder brother is not afraid of cheetahs, and adult cheetahs! Cheetahs are like kittens in front of my elder brother..." Gin, who had been silent for a long time, finally frowned and said coldly: "Vodka, shut up!" Shen Yuan teased with a playful look on his face: "Oh~ Boss is so powerful? Cheetahs really like you!" As he was speaking, Lightning slowly walked back from the depths of the forest, holding a... red-crowned crane in his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan held his forehead and sighed: "Lightning, you are really picky. You picked the most severe one right away!" But based on the principle of spoiling children, he still stood up and took the red-crowned crane, ready to clean it up and give it to Lightning as a snack.

Vodka stared at the scene in amazement, and finally realized that the cheetah that had once been in the big brother's car was actually raised by Shen Yuan.

So, his elder brother and this temporary worker had known each other even earlier than he thought? Vodka was a little confused. To ease the awkwardness, he stared at Shen Yuan's actions in handling the crested ibis and said dryly, "This...will get you sentenced if you eat it?" Shen Yuan glanced at him as if he were an idiot: "You are so law-abiding? Then you really should turn yourself in, and report your elder brother as well. It's just right for you to keep him company!" Vodka: "..." - Did he just have a brain malfunction? What nonsense is he talking about! Gin glanced at the two of them coldly, picked up his beer and took a sip, too lazy to participate in this meaningless conversation.

The stream gurgles, the charcoal fire crackles, and the wind in the forest carries the fragrance of grass and trees.

Vodka sat by the grill, mechanically flipping the skewers while thinking about life - was he here to deliver beer or to be a light bulb?

Chapter 64 Gin's Daily Rest 3

Lightning squatted by the stream, slowly gnawing on the roasted crested ibis meat, his ice-blue eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

Vodka stared at the cheetah eating gracefully, not even noticing that the skewer of meat in his hand was burnt.

"If you bake it any longer it will turn into charcoal!" Shen Yuan reminded lazily.

Vodka finally woke up from his dream and scrambled to rescue the skewers.

His huge body twisted and turned on the folding chair like a clumsy brown bear doing ballet.

The sauce dripped onto the charcoal fire, and a sizzling sound was heard, raising a puff of green smoke.

"Vodka," Shen Yuan propped up his chin and asked with interest, "You look so clumsy, how do you usually follow your elder brother? I always feel that you will be a drag!" Vodka's face, half of which was covered by sunglasses, turned red, and he defended unwillingly: "I, I am considered a technician! I usually drive for elder brother, and when necessary, I am responsible for hacking into the circuit system, modifying surveillance videos and so on..." Shen Yuan turned to Gin after hearing this, with a mischievous light in his eyes: "It turns out that there are professionals around the boss? Why did he ask me for help when he said he couldn't drive, and asked Lightning to cover him..." Vodka suddenly realized that during the time when he was sent away, his elder brother was hanging out with this temporary worker.

He looked at Gin aggrievedly, his eyes like a large dog abandoned by its owner: "Brother, I'm very useful! I, I can drive for you two! Don't abandon me!" Gin looked at this scene coldly and uttered two words, "Idiot!". His slender fingers tapped the beer can lightly. When he tilted his head back, the ice beer slid into his mouth along his thin lips. His Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed. A drop of beer overflowed from the corner of his lips, slid down the sharp lines of his neck, and finally disappeared at the open collar of his shirt.

When the aluminum can left his lips, he subconsciously licked the remaining wine foam on his lips with the tip of his tongue.

Shen Yuan cursed inwardly, "Witch," and forced his eyes away, turning to look at Vodka: "Come to think of it, your eldest brother is injured now, so who will take over his work now? Didn't you say before that we were short of manpower? Are we full now?" Vodka was putting the grilled meat skewers into the toasted buns he had just brought. He paused when he heard this, glanced cautiously at Gin, and then whispered: "The boss has called Ireland back from Mexico, and now he is temporarily taking over the eldest brother's position.

Complete the subsequent tasks!" Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with your expression? Is that Ireland and your eldest brother not on good terms?" Fine beads of sweat appeared on Vodka's forehead, and his voice became even lower: "That Pisco who died the day before yesterday... was Ireland's adoptive father.

So now Ireland is looking for trouble with Big Brother!"

"Ha!" Shen Yuan sneered, "Your boss is really interesting. On the one hand, he ordered Gin to kill people to silence them, and on the other hand, he transferred his adopted son back to take over? What, are you planning to raise a Gu? Let's see who can survive to the end?" Vodka lowered his head suddenly, pretending to concentrate on chewing the barbecued steamed bun, and did not dare to respond.

He secretly glanced at Gin and found that his elder brother had no reaction to Shen Yuan's rebellious words, but just drank beer in silence.

So Vodka pretended to be deaf and heard nothing.

Shen Yuan also raised his head and took a sip of wine.

He swallowed the wine with his Adam's apple rolling.

Before Vodka could swallow the meat in his mouth, Shen Yuan asked again, "Who do you think will win, Ireland or your eldest brother?"

"Cough cough cough——" Vodka almost choked, and quickly took a sip of beer to relieve his breath, then answered firmly: "Of course it's my eldest brother! I only obey my eldest brother!" Shen Yuan's lips curled up into a smirk, and then he asked a more fatal question: "What if your eldest brother and the BOSS have a disagreement?" Vodka really choked this time, and the beer sprayed out of his nose, and his face turned red from coughing.

He looked at Gin in horror, but found that the silver-haired man still looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about this topic at all.

When he turned around again, Shen Yuan was staring at him with a half-smile, an expression that said "you must answer".

Vodka swallowed his saliva and said stiffly, "I, I only listen to my big brother! Whatever big brother says is what it is!" Shen Yuan patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "What a loyal little brother." He handed over a few skewers of freshly grilled meat that he could no longer eat, and his tone was as if he was rewarding a puppy, "This is a reward for you!" Vodka took the grilled meat tremblingly, feeling as if he had just come out of an interrogation room.

At this time, Lightning walked to Gin with elegant steps, and rubbed his big furry head against his knee affectionately.

Gin rubbed the cheetah's ears, and a barely perceptible curve passed across his thin lips.

Vodka finally finished eating those skewers of barbecue in silent agony, and then left as if escaping, saying that he had "another mission to complete."

His gray Land Cruiser kicked up a cloud of dust on the forest road and quickly disappeared from sight.

Shen Yuan looked at the hurriedly departing figure and couldn't help laughing: "Boss, your loyal little brother is quite interesting!" Gin didn't respond, but just reached out and rubbed Lightning's head.

The cheetah squinted its eyes comfortably and let out a low purring sound from its throat.

The sun gradually sets and the temperature in the forest begins to drop.

Shen Yuan stretched and stood up to clean up the barbecue grill and the remaining ingredients.

Gin also stood up and folded up the picnic table and chairs with neat movements. The two of them worked in perfect harmony and quickly packed up everything.

"Let's go," Shen Yuan patted the charcoal ash on his hands, "If we're any later the mountain road will be difficult to drive on!" Gin said "hmm" lightly, picked up the picnic box and walked towards the off-road vehicle.

Lightning jumped into the back seat and found a comfortable position to lie down.

The off-road vehicle slowly drove away from the stream and rolled over the mountain road covered with fallen leaves.

In the rearview mirror, the last ray of sunset light was swallowed up by the dense forest, leaving only the headlights illuminating the winding path ahead.

Chapter 65 Cave Exploration 1

Gin recovered from his injury and returned to work. Shen Yuan was temporarily free from financial pressure and was bored. He was thinking about whether he should go to the "little detective" to take on a few cases and see the Japanese fancy crime methods. The phone rang. Shen Yuan picked up the phone on the coffee table and saw that it was "Edogawa Conan". Shen Yuan smiled. This was really a "tacit understanding". He picked up the phone - "Moshimoshi?" Shen Yuan answered the phone with a smile on his face, "Conan, long time no see!" The boy's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Shen, it's vacation soon. Dr. Agasa is taking us camping in the mountains tomorrow. Do you want to come? You can also bring Lightning. He should like it there, right? And we haven't seen Lightning for a long time!" Shen Yuan glanced at Lightning who was rubbing his head against his calf. The body temperature of the large cat was transmitted through the fabric.

He reached out and ruffled the soft fur behind Lightning's ears, and the cheetah purred contentedly.

"That sounds good," Shen Yuan said with a smile, "Lightning does need space to move.

But he's too big, so I'll drive there. Do you want to ride in my car too? " There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone, and Conan thought of Dr. Agasa's yellow Beetle, which always broke down on the road.

Then there was a dry laugh: "Okay, okay, Brother Shen, I'll take your car!" After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuan walked to the kitchen and took out the steak that had been fried in the morning from the insulated box.

The medium-rare steak has a perfect grid pattern on the surface and an attractive pink center.

Lightning followed behind him, his tail wagging gently, showing his happy mood.

Shen Yuan cut the meat, which was already at room temperature, into pieces and put it into Lightning's food bowl. He poured a spoonful of bone soup on it and patted Lightning's head. "Eat. I'll take you out to play tomorrow. You can run around outside again. Are you happy?" Lightning lowered his head and enjoyed his lunch. The occasional "snoring" and the rhythmic slapping of the ground with the tip of his tail expressed his happiness.

The next morning, after finishing his breakfast, Shen Yuan packed the prepared ingredients into boxes one by one: salmon and tuna nigiri sushi were neatly stacked on the upper layer of the double-layer lunch box, and the lower layer was golden vegetable pancakes; a sealed glass box contained emerald green salad spinach and amber braised beef tendon, sliced ​​so evenly that light could pass through; in the fruit box, bright red strawberries were placed next to the sliced ​​honeydew melon, and half a lemon was carefully squeezed in to prevent oxidation.

"I brought you tomahawk steak and venison tenderloin today!" Shen Yuan shook the food he prepared for Lightning. Lightning immediately pricked up his ears and followed him step by step to the underground garage.

The cheetah jumped lightly onto the back seat, with its front paws resting on the center armrest, like a nobleman preparing for a trip.

When Shen Yuan arrived at Dr. Agasa's house, the Junior Detective League had already assembled. Ayumi and Haibara Ai were helping Dr. Agasa fold the picnic mat and the snacks he was going to bring.

Seeing Shen Yuan coming in, Ayumi raised her head and greeted him first, "Hello, Brother Shen!" However, because she was not very familiar with Shen Yuan, she was still a little introverted.

Haibara Ai had her own attitude. She just nodded slightly and continued packing her luggage.

"Wow! It's Lightning! He's even bigger than the last time I saw him~" Yuantai fixed his gaze on Lightning who was following behind Shen Yuan.

Mitsuhiko also came over, and the cheetah's silver-gray fur shone with a soft luster in the morning light.

Guangyan held his chin in his hand as if thinking, his voice rising slightly with excitement. "I looked up some information after I got back, and it shows that an adult cheetah needs to consume about eight kilograms of meat every day!"

"Eight kilograms of meat?!" Yuantai pinched his belly as he spoke, "Brother Shen feeds us all high-quality beef," he counted on his fingers, "How much eel rice can one steak exchange for? Three? Five?... I also want to be Brother Shen's pet!" As he spoke, he began to gesture at the air, as if plates of eel rice appeared before his eyes.

Dr. Agasa came over and scratched his head sheepishly: "Ah, the kids are always so energetic... Hahaha!" Dr. Agasa stuffed the last backpack into the trunk of his yellow Beetle and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Mr. Shen, please give Conan a ride.

We'll meet at the campsite as planned!"

"No problem!" Shen Yuan nodded and watched the children of the Junior Detective Team reluctantly return to the doctor's car.

Ayumi leaned on the car window and waved at Lightning, Mitsuhiko was still talking incessantly about the habits of cheetahs, and Genta was already rummaging through his backpack for snacks.

Only Conan stayed, climbing expertly into the passenger seat of the Volvo.

The car drove smoothly onto the highway, and Lightning found a comfortable position in the back seat, leaning his head against the window, squinting his eyes and enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing against his fur.

Conan would occasionally look through the rearview mirror at this elegant big cat, its whiskers trembling slightly in the airflow.

"How are you doing recently?" Shen Yuan held the steering wheel with one hand and asked casually, "I always feel that you are in trouble all the time. Have you encountered any... troublesome cases?" Conan's glasses slipped down, revealing half-moon eyes: What are you talking about? All the troubles come to him, okay? Conan answered stubbornly: "Not bad, they are all small cases!" He paused, his eyes swept across the scenery flying by outside the window and changed the subject: "Brother Shen, what are you busy with recently? It feels like I haven't been to Poirot Cafe for a long time. Brother Amuro was thinking about you before!" Shen Yuan chuckled: "I have been doing odd jobs for the boss recently. You know, I need to raise Lightning, so I didn't go to play with you. But now the school is on vacation, it's actually quite boring. Thank you Conan-kun for asking me to come out and play today!" His tone was relaxed and natural, and his fingers tapped the rhythm lightly on the steering wheel.

The two chatted idly like this, the topics ranging from the recent weather to interesting things at school, and then to Lightning's recent weight changes.

Two hours later, the navigation showed that they had arrived at their destination.

The campsite is surrounded by lush woods and a clear stream flows by.

Dr. Agasa's car has been parked in the designated area, and Haibara Ai is helping the doctor set up the tent.

"Let's go collect some firewood!" Shen Yuan suggested after settling down.

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta immediately responded positively, and Lightning followed them enthusiastically.

After walking along the forest path for about ten minutes, Yuantai suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Look! There's a cave over there!" Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a pitch-black cave entrance on the mountain wall, surrounded by moss and ferns.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, on which is written: Move forward towards the path of the auspicious dragon, and the light of heaven will surely shine upon you.

"So there must be treasures of ancient warriors deep in this cave!" Mitsuhiko lowered his voice and said mysteriously to his companions.

"Really? Then we must find it!" Yuantai immediately became alert, waving the flashlight in his hand and rushed in without waiting for others to react.

"Wait for me!" Ayumi shouted anxiously, but Mitsuhiko had already followed Genta into the cave.

Before Conan could stop them, the three children had disappeared into the dark cave.

He sighed in frustration, turned around and shouted to Shen Yuan who was picking firewood not far away: "Brother Shen! Yuantai and the others ran into the cave!" Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan had no choice but to put down the firewood in his hand and ran towards the little detective.

Lightning also pricked up his ears alertly.

The two of them ran quickly towards the cave entrance, only to see that the dark cave was like a big mouth, completely swallowing up the three small figures.

Chapter 66 Cave Exploration 2

Shen Yuan and Conan quickly chased into the cave. The damp rock wall was dripping with water, and the flashlight beam drew flickering streaks of light in the darkness.

Conan suddenly stopped, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt on the ground, and rubbed it lightly with his fingertips - it was still warm.

"Brother Shen, this cigarette butt is still warm, there must be someone else inside!" Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of hurried footsteps from the front, accompanied by Kojima Genta's terrified scream - "There, there is a dead person! Murder!!" Three small figures stumbled out from the depths of the darkness, their faces pale, and Ayumi was even scared to tears.

Behind them, three burly men were chasing them, guns in their hands! "Run!" Guangyan shouted, his voice changing.

Yuantai ran wildly while shouting, "Lightning! Lightning, scare them away!" The three gangsters did not give people any time to react and shot directly at Yuantai and the others, but the situation changed in an instant.

Shen Yuan noticed that the gangster's arm was clearly aimed downward at the child, but at the moment he pulled the trigger, the muzzle of the gun strangely tilted upward, in a posture that violated the limits of human joints, forcibly twisting the trajectory of the bullet and shooting it straight at Shen Yuan! "Brother Shen!" Conan shouted.

Shen Yuan reacted extremely quickly and dodged sideways. The bullet grazed his shoulder and splashed gravel on the rock wall.

However, before he could stand firm, the other two gangsters raised their guns simultaneously—"Bang! Bang!" The bullets seemed to be controlled by some invisible force. Although the gangsters' arms did not change position, the trajectory of the bullets was accurately shot towards Shen Yuan!—This was not a coincidence.

——This is "fate" correcting its mistakes.

Shen Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he understood instantly - that "thing" thought he was a threatening variable, that he had disrupted its order, so now it was forcibly eliminating him! "Heh..." Shen Yuan sneered, feeling a sense of excitement. He wanted to see who would be defeated in the end! He suddenly grabbed a handful of gravel, shook his wrist, and the stones shot out like bullets! "Swoosh!" The sharp stone accurately hit the eye socket of a gangster. The man groaned, but still mechanically raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed at Shen Yuan again.

Lightning roared and pounced on the other gangster, his sharp claws tearing open his back fiercely, and blood instantly soaked his clothes.

However, the man didn't even frown, as if he didn't feel any pain. He continued to stare at Shen Yuan, with the gun pointed steadily at him.

Seeing that they would not shoot at Lightning, Shen Yuan felt a little relieved.

"They...only shot at Brother Shen?" Conan looked at the scene in shock, confused.

"...Be careful!" Before Conan finished shouting, the gangster behind Shen Yuan had already pulled the trigger.

Shen Yuan turned his head and his pupils shrank suddenly when he heard the sound.

Time seemed to be stretched out, and he could clearly see the trajectory of the bullet spinning through the air.

At the critical moment, he leaned back suddenly, and the bullet grazed the tip of his nose, creating spider-web-like cracks on the stalactites behind him.

Before he could catch his breath, more bullets came.

Shen Yuan rolled over three times in a row, and each bullet narrowly missed the spot where he had just been.

The shattered rocks from the rock wall fell like rain, leaving fine bloody marks on his exposed skin.

Seeing that the criminals completely ignored them, Yuantai and the others became bolder and picked up stones on the ground and smashed them hard at the criminals.

"Bang! Bang!" The stones hit the gangster, but it was like hitting a puppet, with no reaction.

At this time, Shen Yuan was also shot twice, one in the abdomen and one in the shoulder blade.

"Brother Shen!" Ayumi's scream echoed in the cave.

The severe pain in my abdomen came unexpectedly.

Shen Yuan looked down at the rapidly spreading blood, and the second bullet had penetrated his shoulder blade.

The warm liquid trickled down his back, but his smile only deepened.

"Interesting!" He spat out the blood foam in his mouth and suddenly attacked.

He kicked the rock wall hard, and at the moment of taking advantage of the force to jump into the air, his right hand turned into a claw and went straight for the throat of the nearest gangster.

The man's neck tilted back at an impossible angle, but the bullet still hit Shen Yuan's heart accurately.

"Bang!" Shen Yuan twisted his waist in mid-air, and the bullet grazed his ribs, raising a cloud of blood mist.
