Conan: I'm not really a winery boss

Chapter 263

At 1:32 in the middle of the night, Xin Ding Bar.

This is a small bar on the corner of the street where few people come, and the owner doesn't seem to care about it. There are only a few seats in front of the bar.

In other words, this bar can only accommodate a few guests.

Compared with a bar, it is more like a place where some acquainted friends or colleagues talk about things.

Carrying a briefcase like a silver-haired woman who just got off work, she hurriedly pushed open the door of the bar and walked in with the sound of wind chimes.

"What would you like a drink?" the bartender with a mustache asked softly.

"Vermouth." Belmode put the briefcase aside, raised his hand to press the eyebrows, "Is the gin still here?"

The bartender poured Belmode the drink and pointed to her back with his chin.

With a bang, the door of the bar closed, and a silver-haired man who smelled like cigarettes sat on the seat beside Belmode.

"Huh, it's really cold tonight, brother." The strong man who closed the door waved to the bartender, and then sat on the right side of the silver-haired man.

"It's okay." Gin took down the cigarette dangling from his mouth, and moved his eyes to the left, "What's the matter, Belmode, can't you make it clear on the phone?"

Belmode didn't look at the wine glass in front of him, put his palms together against his lips, took a few deep breaths, then put down his hands and turned to look at the gin.

"What I'm about to say, don't be afraid."

"Oh." Gin sneered, and flicked the ash into the ashtray handed over by the bartender.

He finds it interesting that this woman, Belmode, is probably going to play some new tricks on him.

"Tell me, we are professional killers, we will not be afraid." Vodka grinned.

"Grabba" Belmode pinched his thumb hard, "He's eating people."

"Cannibal?" Vodka scratched his head, "The 'cannibal' in Diary of a Madman?"

"No! Cannibalism, real cannibalism." Belmode glared at Vodka, "I'm not talking about literature with you."

"He has been a capitalist since he became the director of a private hospital." Qin Jiu was not surprised, "But capitalists are all cannibals, and even our killers can be considered cannibals in a certain sense." people."

"No, that's not what I mean. When I say cannibalism, I mean cannibalism in a literal sense. Don't think too much about it!"

Belmode's blood pressure was immediately full. Why can't these two people understand human speech?
"Oh, I understand, I also have that habit." Vodka wrote the word 'person' in the palm of his hand, then opened his mouth and ate it. "It's very useful when you're nervous."

Belmode rolled his eyes, "Go to the hospital and have a look at your brain, Vodka."

"Cannibal, heh, maybe you are the one who should go to the hospital to have a look at his brain." Gin glanced at Belmode.

"What I said is true." Belmode lay down on the table weakly.

If this continues, she will really go crazy.

No one knew how much pressure she was under when getting along with Fu Jiang.

Although she pretended not to care on the surface, she always had a sixth sense of fear for Grabar.

Perhaps the fear seemed unfounded, because Grabar had only deflected bullets on her, anesthetized her, bound her, pulled his hair, and hadn't done anything to really hurt her.

However, she could always inexplicably feel that Grabar had murderous intentions towards her.

It seems that as long as certain conditions are met, Grappa will attack her without hesitation.

Her instincts were never wrong, and that was the only thing she believed in in a world where everyone could betray.

"You are very afraid of him." Gin bit his cigarette holder, "Do you think he might hurt you?"

"Yes." Belmode nodded confidently, "But it's not just for this reason."

While speaking, Belmode drew closer to Gin without a trace, leaned lightly on him, and was immediately thrown away.

Qin Jiu gave her a dissatisfied look, which meant that she had something to say, so don't make any moves.

Belmode curled his lips and said in a low voice: "Maybe because I'm an actor, so I'm very sensitive to some things. He gave me the feeling that he was performing, performing human behavior, imitating human expressions , and itself, is something else."

"Maybe." Gin crushed the cigarette into the ashtray, "He is a weirdo, but he obeys the rules better than ordinary people, his own rules."

Gin stood up and looked down at Belmode, "He hurts others, there are only two possibilities, for profit, or if he feels threatened, you are part of the organization, he has no reason to hurt you, unless you bring him a threat, Let him prefer to harm his own interests, but also to solve you."

Saying that, Gin bent down, put his face close to Belmode, and said slowly: "So, you are sure that he will hurt you, aren't you?"

"I..." Belmode opened his mouth, then raised his hand and pushed Gin's face aside, shrugged pretending to be indifferent, "I didn't do anything to harm his or the organization's interests."

At most, it was just a little thought, because she noticed that Grabar seemed to be very close to her angel.

Moreover, she is still investigating the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi, and she has made some guesses recently, but she still needs to verify it before she can be sure.

"Only you know it." Qin Jiu said coldly, "Maybe you don't believe it, but he is actually a very delicate and sensitive person, and he can always understand what is going on in other people's minds."

"It's true." Vodka echoed: "Every time I look into his dark eyes, I feel that my thoughts are sucked in, but on the phone, I can have the upper hand."

"Are you sure that your inability to gain the upper hand in a face-to-face conversation is not because of fear?" Belmode gave Vodka a blank look.

"Uh." Vodka was speechless, "Why does Grappa look like a big brother sometimes."

But when you think about it, the eldest brother is Alex's adopted son, and Grabar is Alex's grandson. They must have been influenced by Alex, so some similarities are very reasonable.

His dignified vodka is not something that can scare anyone.

Belmode lowered his head and thought, Grabar's hostility towards her could not really be aware of her thoughts?

That is too mysterious.

She didn't show any flaws.

"Hello, Grappa."

While Belmode was thinking, Gin called Grabar.

"What's the matter?" On the other end of the phone, Fu Jiang frowned slightly, "Bermod is next to you?"

At this point in time, Gin has no reason to call him. He has a time-consuming task at hand and has no time to deal with other things.

Moreover, Gin didn't have the habit of calling out his code name when talking on the phone.

But he called it like that, which meant that there was someone beside him who needed to know who he was talking to.

That's the organization guy, but the gin's called grappa instead of sangria main.

Therefore, the person next to Qin Jiu was either an undercover agent who was being tempted, or someone who knew his identity long ago but didn't know that he had disguised his code name.

Considering the apparently unexplained incident during the day, there is a high probability that it is Belmode.

"Yes, she said you ate people. Is that true?" Gin waited for a reply of 'what I ate was not a human, but a mannequin'.

"No, I ate beef bones, she misunderstood." Fu Jiang pressed his temple.

"She can't tell the difference between a human bone and a cow bone?" Qin Jiu asked suspiciously.

He now felt that something might be wrong, that one of Grabar and Belmode was lying.

"That's to blame for my getting used to it, you know." Fu Jiang raised his hand subconsciously and used a little body language.

He has been in the habit of crunching something when he eats.

If it is meat with bones, he will crush the bones together and swallow them, and the same goes for beef bones.

That's why he doesn't like fish, the bones can literally get stuck in his throat, or pierce his teeth.

"I can probably guess that eating like a barbarian is your characteristic, and Alex sometimes does this."

While talking, Qin Jiu suddenly became concerned about Fu Jiang's physical condition. He still remembered the explanation that Alex gave him at the beginning:
This habit occurs when his body lacks certain essential nutrients and cannot be restrained.

And Gin still couldn't understand what this necessary nutrition meant, but every time Alex went out to kill people, this symptom would be relieved.

"In short, that's the way it is. If you can explain it clearly to her, I will be very happy. Misunderstanding is always a bad thing."

Although he couldn't see Fu Jiang's appearance, Qin Jiu was sure that Fu Jiang's mouth parted when he said this.

"You didn't explain it to her?" Gin glanced at Belmode who suddenly came up to eavesdrop on the phone.

"Hehe, even a person like me knows how to explain when she is misunderstood by colleagues, but... she is obviously unwilling to accept it. Maybe this misunderstanding is just a euphemistic excuse for not working with me?"

Fu Jiang sighed, "It would be a pity if this is the case. I still like her very much. If she has any opinions on me, she can also put forward them in person. There is no need to express dissatisfaction to you after accepting the task."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Belmode, who only heard the last two sentences, almost didn't come up in one breath.

Why is this man so teasing? Qin Jiu doesn't really believe his words, does he?
"That's just a beef bone, Belmode." Gin pointed to the wine on the back of the bar, and beckoned the bartender to serve him a glass.

"He bites into pieces, do you believe it?" Belmode frowned and looked at the gin.

If it was a human bone, she believed that Fu Jiang could do it, but there was probably no crack in the beef bone, and the human tooth would be broken.

"I believe." Gin took a sip of the wine, "And you are making trouble out of no reason. He didn't mean to hurt you, but he liked you very much."

"That's why you trust him?" Belmode took a few steps back and took a deep breath, "Okay, you can go to him."

She grabbed her briefcase, pushed open the door of the bar, and left quickly amidst the sound of wind chimes.

At this time, Fu Jiang put his five fingers on the keyboard from time to time, and closed his fists from time to time.

Glancing at the new task that appeared on the task bar, he almost cursed regardless of his image.

He couldn't accept it. The system hadn't released such a pure-hearted task for him for a long time, and he really couldn't accept it.

Mission Name: I really want to fall in love~
Mission content: You are very happy because you have accepted a long-term mission with your crush.

Mission Reward: Belmode's Love Line opens +100 Joy Points.

Failure penalty: An additional super-shameful task will be sent.

hateful!

Fu Jiang hammered the table with his fist.

If I had known that this kind of thing would happen, I wouldn't have asked Gin for the winery's chat group ID.
