Chapter 104: Answers
Lin Xinyi was busy with a day's training at the Metropolitan Police Department today, and as soon as he got off work, he was invited to this high-end Japanese restaurant by Mao Lilan.
Actually, he just came to give Maorilan a lesson.
Miss Maolilan, who has already made up her mind, is now highly motivated to study, and in order to become a forensic doctor who can surpass the detective, she is eager to take every opportunity to absorb knowledge and nourishment.
But she has classes at school today, and she can't participate in the collective training organized by Lin Xinyi at the Metropolitan Police Department.
Therefore, Mao Lilan had no choice but to invite Lin Xinyi to come over and open a small stove for her privately after school.
Seeing that the students were so motivated, Lin Xinyi naturally readily agreed.
And the location of this make-up class was also chosen at this Japanese restaurant.
According to Maoliran, the restaurant is very quiet and suitable for a long tea chat.
Coming here to make up the class, you can solve the problem of dinner by the way while making up the class.
"Uh... Miss Maolilan, do you have to do this? β
"Why don't you go to your house? How convenient it is to take classes at home. β
Seeing the exquisite decoration and atmospheric faΓ§ade of this restaurant, Lin Xinyi knew that this was not a store he could afford to enter before he entered the door.
"My house is not very convenient today."
"My dad is going to watch a horse betting race at home today... It's going to be noisy for sure. β
Mao Lilan sighed slightly, and said helplessly.
"That's to me... Forehead... Never mind. Lin Xin wanted to say that he would simply go to his house to attend class, but after thinking about it carefully:
A single male teacher invited a female student to his home for a lesson, and he didn't need to point it out with Conan's vinegar jar, which he himself felt was a little inappropriate.
"Then let's change the restaurant, right?"
Lin Xinyi simply did not hide his poverty and embarrassment, and directly stated his biggest concerns:
"This restaurant... It looks expensive. β
Teacher, I teach you knowledge for free, why do you still want to trick me?
Last time, he was beaten hard by Shiho Miyano and her sister in that high-end Western restaurant, and his already thin wallet would be even more malnourished...
If he goes to eat in such a high-end place now, he will really go bankrupt.
"Huh?" Mao Lilan was slightly stunned, and then said with some emotion:
"So Mr. Lin, you're worried that eating here will make me too expensive?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"I deliberately chose this relatively high-end restaurant, which can be regarded as a thank-you banquet."
"Don't worry about spending money, my mom gave it to me β she was very supportive of me when she knew I wanted to study forensics."
"This..."Lin Xinyi was very surprised:
There is still a mother who supports her daughter to become a forensic doctor?
It's not about throwing a child into a fire pit... Ahem... What an enlightened parent.
What he didn't know was that although forensic doctors were not easy to find, their income was average.
But in the case of Maolilan, there is no need to worry about money and objects at all.
As a rare strong woman in society, Mao Lilan's mother has only one expectation for her daughter, that is, she hopes that her daughter can have her own career in the future.
Whether it's a martial artist or a forensic doctor, in short, it's not the kind of housewife who relies on men.
Now that her daughter was able to get out of the strange circle of being a vase for that Kudo imp and find her true purpose in life, the Maori lady was naturally very happy.
"My mom thanks you for your good guidance and let me know that girls also have to be self-reliant and make their own careers."
"She encouraged me to study with you seriously, and told me to treat you as a teacher to a good meal."
Maolilan made a big call with gratitude.
It turned out that this time she not only came to Lin Xinyi to make up for the lesson, but also took Lin Xinyi to a big meal at the suggestion of her mother.
However, for the above content, Lin Xinyi is most concerned about the following sentence:
"Oh, you're going to have this meal?"
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his expression suddenly became natural.
Finally, Lin Xinyi took a step forward and followed Mao Lilan into the restaurant.
When he entered the door, he noticed the threshold that was easy to stumble, and he specially reminded Maorilan: "Miss Maori, be careful of the threshold." β
The two of them entered the restaurant like this.
After entering, Lin Xinyi didn't pay attention to the environment in the restaurant, but just found a table at random and sat down with Mao Lilan.
"Mr. Lin Xinyi, you can order first."
"Finish dinner first, and then slowly make up for me."
Mao Lilan smiled and handed over the menu, and said very politely:
"Don't worry about the expenses, I must have enough money prepared this time."
Why don't you stop eating and just give it to me?
Lin Xinyi wanted to say this very much, but for the sake of his teacher's face, he still restrained himself and held back.
"Okay, I'll order first..."
Picking up the elegantly designed menu, Lin Xin glanced at the price on it:
Hiss... Going to this kind of place to entertain, this Miss Maolilan is really a rich second generation.
Seeing the price of this dish, even if he knew that he didn't have to pay the bill himself, Lin Xinyi, who was used to being poor, didn't dare to order it.
"Would you like to order a fugu dish?"
"This shop's puffer fish sukiyaki is the signature!"
Mao Lilan didn't understand Lin Xinyi's complicated feelings of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden at all, but took the initiative to recommend the most expensive dishes on the menu.
"Pufferfish? Forget it..."
"It's easy to get into trouble eating this thing."
Lin Xinyi shook his head, he didn't want to risk his life to satisfy his appetite.
0.5 mg of puffer fish venom can be fatal, but it's no joke.
Although the fugu dish is definitely non-toxic, the probability of poisoning is extremely low.
But everything is just in case.
Lin Xinyi used to hear from his classmates who worked in southern coastal cities that because of their abundant puffer fish resources and the culture of eating puffer fish, there were several unlucky ghosts who were poisoned by tetrodotoxin every year.
After thinking about it for a while, he crossed all the puffer fish dishes in his heart, Lin Xinyi casually ordered two dishes, and returned the menu to Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan looked at the menu and carefully selected, while Lin Xinyi asked curiously:
"What about Conan? Why didn't he come along? β
"Conan?"
Without hesitation, Mauriran replied:
"Conan didn't come home from school today, so I asked Mr. Lin to make up the class, and he didn't know about it."
"Speaking of which, it seems that he formed a 'junior detective group' with a few friends he just met in elementary school, and went to some haunted house adventure at night."
Lin Xinyi: "......"
Friends from elementary school, a group of young detectives, and haunted house adventures...
Detective Kudo, it's really unexpected... It's childlike.
"Haha, no wonder Conan didn't come."
Lin Xinyi smiled on his face, but he was a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Because Conan was always worried about what was going to happen to him and Maoriran, it felt a little strange when he was communicating with Maoriran normally now.
Especially now when I'm alone with Maoriland...
couldn't see Conan's vinegary little face, Lin Xinyi was really a little unaccustomed.
And when he was thinking about Conan's jealousy, the gloomy little face that tried to show seriousness and anger, but looked inexplicably funny...
A pretty face as cold as ice suddenly appeared in front of him without warning:
"What a coincidence, Lin Xinyi."
"It's... Miss Miyano? β
Hearing this familiar tone like the freezing wind of the Arctic, Lin Xinyi could guess who it was without looking at his face.
And Miyano Shiho was standing there looking at him now, his eyes were as cold as if he was looking at a petri dish of bacteria that was about to be inactivated.
"Miyano, why are you here?" Lin Xinyi was very surprised.
"I can't be here?" Shiho Miyano raised an eyebrow.
"I..." Lin Xinyi choked hard at this ETC-style answer.
He looked at the cold face in front of him, which was all too familiar, and muttered in his heart:
Why did she look at me so coldly... Didn't you just get a little better a few days ago?
This kind of personality that is sometimes hot and sometimes cloudy is so difficult to deal with.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xinyi asked tentatively:
"That's... Miyano, do you have something to do with me? β
I can't look for you if it's okay?
Shiho Miyano actually wanted to answer subconsciously.
However, before she could say anything, she had already noticed that something was wrong:
Right... Why is she looking for Lin Xinyi if she is fine?
Why do you want to say such unreasonable and logically confusing things without reason?
It's just too stupid, too weird, and too shameful.
Miss Miyano, who used to be indifferent to everything, suddenly found that she seemed to be wrong:
If it was her before, she would definitely ignore it completely, or rationally choose to turn a blind eye and quietly leave the restaurant.
But now, seeing Lin Xinyi and a young girl coming to the restaurant for dinner, her brain is hot...
didn't look at the girl's face carefully, nor did she calmly analyze her real relationship with Lin Xinyi...
It's like a guinea pig fighting for food, rushing up so recklessly.
She is obviously an 18-year-old genius science girl, she shouldn't be an 18-year-old brainless star-chasing girl!
"How so..."
"How could I be like a paramecium, a single-celled organism that only knows how to follow instincts, and can't even control my own behavior?"
A thought crossed her mind without thinking, and she was flustered.
At this moment, there is no need to monitor heart rate and breathing in real time, nor to measure the concentration of dopamine and norepinephrine...
Shiho Miyano already knows the answer.
