Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 47: The Moon of Sorrow
"Ms. Chengshi...your Blue Moon."

Lin Ye gently pushed a glass of light blue wine in front of Asai Chengmi.

After learning that his real identity was a man, Lin Ye's mood became complicated.

He thought he had met enough guests, but now it seems that he is still young and needs more experience!
But just now Cheng Shixiao—Brother’s voice mentioned the “plan” on the island. What plan?
Is this another murder plan?

Lin Ye suddenly felt that the rate of potential criminals and active criminals among the guests he received was too high.

From the perspective of probability theory, this is unscientific.

Lin Ye looked at Asai Narimi, who was holding a wine glass and drinking from it in small sips, looking very cute.

"Wow, it's so delicious. I'm so lucky to find this store." Asai Narumi's big eyes sparkled and were full of joy.

Alas, how could such a cute girl be a man?

Lin Ye thought with some melancholy.

At this moment, an incredible picture appeared before his eyes.

In the blazing fire, Miss Cheng Shi, wearing a black sweater, sat alone in front of the piano, playing a song with a sad expression. Her figure in front of the piano overlapped with Miss Cheng Shi in front of the bar.

The sad piano melody seemed to come across time and space and float into his mind.

It's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Lin Ye was stunned.

An indescribable sadness welled up in my heart.

Why? Why did he sit in the fire and play the piano?
"Mr. Bartender, if you keep staring at me like that, I'll get shy."

Miss Chengshi’s voice woke Lin Ye up.

The raging fire disappeared without a trace, and the sound of the piano in my ears also disappeared. Only Miss Chengshi, wearing a black sweater, was sitting in front of the bar with a shy look on her face.

Lin Ye wasn't sure if she was really shy or if she was blushing because she had been drinking.

[Why is the bartender looking at me like that? Is he really... No, that kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! ]

"Sorry." Lin Ye lowered his eyes.

"Hehe, it's okay. Maybe I'm just too cute." Asai Narumi winked at Lin Ye playfully and said in a joking tone.

When Kogoro Mouri saw this scene, he was shocked all over, as if he was shot in the butt by Cupid's arrow.

[So, so cute...]

Binga, who had been observing Asai Narimi, also widened his eyes and sighed in his heart.

[I lost. You are the best at pretending to be a woman! ]

Lin Ye's heart was also shocked.

No, that won't work, he's a man! He's a man! He's a man!
Even though he had been receiving guests for more than ten years, he had never met someone like Miss Chengshi.

He had seen many lovely women, but this was the first time he had seen such a lovely man.

This disguise is so natural and there is not a single flaw to be found... I can only say that he is so talented.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, smiled and praised:
"Yes, among all the guests I have met, Miss Chengshi is definitely one of the top three in terms of cuteness."

"Haha, the bartender is really good at talking." Asai Narimi laughed happily.

[Well, it seems that my acting is perfect, even the bartender who has seen countless people can't see it. ]

"How can you be a bartender if you can't speak?" Lin Ye blinked and hit back.

Asai Narimi was stunned, as if he was struck by an electric current.

He lowered his head and took a sip of wine. His face became redder and even his earlobes turned red.

[Oops, I think I overacted. Could it be that the bartender really likes me?] The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"Ahem," Lin Ye broke the awkward silence, "Miss Cheng Shi mentioned the ferry just now?"

"Yeah," Asai Narimi nodded gently, "Actually, I'm a doctor on an island near Tokyo, but I take the boat back to Tokyo on weekends."

"So Miss Chengshi is a doctor. No wonder, I always feel that your temperament is different from ordinary people." Lin Ye looked at Asai Chengshi and said.

"Temperament?" Asai Narimi turned his head curiously.

"Well, all the excellent doctors I have seen have a calm and reassuring temperament." Lin Ye said seriously.

"Haha," Asai Narimi chuckled, "Mr. Bartender is flattering me again. I'm just a new doctor who graduated two years ago. I still have a lot to learn. How can I dare to call myself an excellent doctor?"

"Miss Chengshi, you don't have to be so modest. There is an old saying: A doctor's heart is kind, and his skills are his. The heart comes first, and the skills come second. A doctor can accumulate and learn medical skills, but if he does not have a compassionate heart that cares for his patients, no matter how high his medical skills are, they are in vain and he cannot be called an excellent doctor."

Lin Ye stared at Asai Chengmi's face seriously.

"In my opinion, Miss Chengshi has a kind heart. Otherwise, why would she give up the favorable environment in Tokyo and go to a small island to be a doctor?"

Lin Ye's sincere praise made Asai Narumi lower his head, seeming embarrassed.

"Mr. Bartender, you're really good at praising people. You even quoted scriptures and talked about benevolence. It's too exaggerated."

[Sorry, Mr. Bartender, I'm not as noble as you think. I went to that island for revenge...]

Asai Narimi lowered his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He had a serious illness when he was a child and was hospitalized in Tokyo for a long time.

It was the experience of hospitalization that made him, knowing deeply the pain of illness, decide to become a doctor and help more people suffering from illness.

It was that serious illness that allowed him to escape the fire.

The man-made fire that killed his entire family.

revenge?

Lin Ye was slightly moved.

Is it really a murder plan?

Ugh.

Thinking of the scene of playing the piano in the fire he just saw, an astonishing guess emerged in Lin Ye's mind.

Did Miss Cheng Shi want to take revenge and then end her life? But why did she choose this method?
While Lin Ye was wondering, Uncle Maori had already taken the initiative to attack.

"Ms. Chengshi, this is my business card. If you have any trouble, just call me. I, Maori Kogoro, will definitely help you solve it." Uncle Maori said with a thick tongue.

Asai Narimi politely took the business card and glanced at it.

"Ah, detective, so you own the office upstairs."

"Yes, yes, it's me! Maori-Kogoro!"

Maori patted his chest, then suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"I'll tell you a secret. I just helped a famous star solve a troublesome incident today."

"Really? That's amazing."

Kogoro Maori really enjoyed the admiring gaze of the young girl, and with the effect of alcohol, he couldn't help feeling a little elated.

"But I have an agreement with her to keep it a secret, so I can't tell you who she is. All you need to know is that I, Maori-san, Kogoro, am a famous detective. Even popular stars come to me to solve their problems, so if there is any incident, just leave it to me!"

"Well, if there is any need, I will definitely call you." Asai Narumi said cooperatively.

[When the time comes, I'll send this detective an anonymous invitation letter. Maybe he can stop me before my hands are covered in blood...]
