Normally, if a second-in-command wants to be a good shot, he not only needs talent, but also needs to undergo rigorous training.

Lin Che has it much easier; one skill point solves the problem directly.

As skills continue to upgrade, the damage dealt by off-hand weapons will also continue to increase.

【Battlefield Heroism (1): Health +10%, Passive Recovery Effect +20%.】

With this skill, your health bar increases, and your health regeneration efficiency is also higher.

Although there is no intuitive data display.

However, Lin Che could also obtain information through his perception of his physical condition: as his level increased, all aspects of his physical qualities gradually improved.

"Now there shouldn't be anything left out, right?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, why haven't you eaten yet?"

Lin Che suddenly rises in height from Ai Haibara's perspective.

"boom--!"

Sudden.

A loud bang came from the direction of the kitchen.

Ai Haibara's expression tightened, and she quickly ran towards the direction, calling out, "Doctor!"

Lin Che hadn't expected Dr. Agasa to come up with something like this, so he quickly went over to check it out.

The two arrived.

Professor Agasa stood there, looking dejected and utterly dejected.

Lin Che stepped forward to observe the explosion site and couldn't help but exclaim, "Doctor, you should apply for the Nobel Prize. You've successfully filled the gap in the world's understanding of what a vegetable bomb is."

"Mr. Lin, please stop making fun of me." Dr. Agasa scratched his head awkwardly.

But Lin Che was really curious.

There were no high-explosive materials here, not even a pressure cooker. How did the vegetables explode in such an ordinary pot?

It was Ai Haibara who hit the nail on the head, saying helplessly with her crescent-shaped eyes, "When the flames are too big, don't frantically add oil to the pot next to you, okay?"

She felt utterly powerless, as if she had lost all her strength. "Also, don't put so much water in the pot when cooking and always put the lid on. If something happens, don't panic and drop the pot on the ground."

Water + oil + fire = a flame that suddenly rises up + oil and water splashes.

In the ensuing chaos, Professor Agasa panicked, causing the pot lid to flip over and fall to the ground with a clanging sound, along with the pot itself.

Then the explosion happened.

Professor Agasa scratched his head sheepishly. "Let's clean up the kitchen later. We'll eat out today."

Lin Che's eyes darted around. "Then I'll treat you today."

Ai Haibara's eyes widened upon hearing this, revealing an even more surprised look than she had just a dozen minutes ago.

Lin Che then added, "It's more lively to eat out with more people. Let's invite Conan too."

Ai Haibara is at home, so Conan must be on vacation too.

Dr. Agasa readily agreed, "Then I'll contact Shinichi right now."

Beside him, the little girl stared at Lin Che suspiciously.

Although she couldn't think of a specific reason yet, she knew that Lin Che's actions must have a deeper meaning.

After all, if a miser who never spends a penny suddenly starts to pluck feathers, things are definitely not simple.

after an hour.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to have come here so abruptly, Mr. Lin, right? Hello, hello, it's a great honor to meet you."

"I am Kogoro Mouri, and this is my daughter Ran Mouri. I heard from Conan that he made an amazing new friend, so I came to see him. I hope you will forgive my intrusion."

The bumbling detective, dressed in a classic suit, grabbed Lin Che's hand and shook it incessantly as soon as they met.

Ran Mouri stood behind, helplessly covering her face with her hands; her pink and white dress actually matched her current complexion quite well.

Chapter 28 I Want to Stay at Your House

Lin Che never expected that Kogoro Mouri would come along too.

Isn't that the end of it?

The cost of entertaining guests will increase again.

This is all my hard-earned money!

Seeing the deep pain in Lin Che's expression, Kogoro Mouri immediately said meaningfully, "Just now, before we came in, I saw a brand new GTR outside."

"Such a cool car must be driven by a very talented young person. I wonder which young genius it is."

What he said was exaggerated, but his expression was so natural.

The bumbling detective, pretending to look around, glanced at the GTR key on the table out of the corner of his eye and thought he must be right.

If you're going to freeload a meal, you'll naturally have to find a way to give the "boss" a good talking-to.

Moreover, he is indeed now interested in befriending Lin Che.

People who can afford luxury cars are usually willing to pay hefty commissions.

Even if the other party doesn't specifically request it, it's still a connection.

really.

Lin Che offered a polite smile, "No need to look anymore, this should be my car. Mr. Mori, please have a seat, and Miss Ran as well."

Conan blinked: What about me? I'll just stand there, okay?

Lin Che naturally wouldn't forget today's core objective. He bent down and picked up Conan, then whispered in his ear:

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you after dinner. Your sister Xiaolan will be here too."

Conan's heartstrings tightened immediately.

Is Xiaolan involved in this?

"what are you up to."

"Let's talk after we finish eating."

Today, Lin Che chose a well-known Chinese restaurant—recommended by Dr. Agasa.

Since transmigrating, he has been eating either bento boxes or Japanese home-style meals, and he really misses the taste of home.

However, he didn't have high hopes, since Chinese food is often adapted to different tastes abroad.

Needless to say, the restaurant is of a high standard, definitely up to par for entertaining guests.

After ordering, Lin Che started chatting with Kogoro Mouri.

The other party had just given him a very exaggerated compliment, and now he was generous with his praise.

Since the money has already been spent, it should be spent in a worthwhile way.

"I never expected Conan to be staying at the house of a famous detective." Lin Che feigned regret. "It's a pity I drove today, otherwise I would definitely have had a couple of drinks with Mr. Mori."

"Hahahaha." The muddle-headed detective chimed in, "Next time I have the chance, I definitely have to get drunk with the young and promising Mr. Lin."

[Kogoro Mouri's affection level +10.]

[Ran Mouri's affection level +3.]

That's really efficient.

Subsequently, Lin Che and the bumbling detective discussed the connection between Japan's crime rate and the situation in the Middle East.

Lin Che believes that the reason why Tokyo's crime rate remains high is entirely because some people go to the United States without taking their children with them.

The situation in the Middle East has strengthened the United States' beacon effect, which has led more people to want to go to the United States.

However, Kogoro Mouri disagreed, believing that the connection between Tokyo's crime rate and the situation in the Middle East lay in the influence of ideology.

The changing situation has caused people to worry about an economic crisis again.

If the economy declines again, many people will experience increased stress, which may lead to negative thoughts and thus increase the crime rate.

The two had their own versions of events, but no argument broke out; it was just ordinary casual chatting.

Sitting next to Ran Mouri, Conan felt that Lin Che was implying something about him, but he couldn't find any concrete evidence.

But if Lin Che is subtly criticizing me, then this person is terrifying.

They managed to find out everything about his family situation without him even noticing.

Fortunately, the other party has goodwill towards me and is currently on my side.

Moreover, he doesn't seem to have any way to counter Lin Che.

If you go against Lin Che, they'll expose your identity.

Given Lin Che's level of understanding of himself, Conan believed he could definitely convince Ran Mouri and the others.

Should we tell Lin Che to shut up?

How can I shut him up?

Arrested and imprisoned?

Or should we kill him?

The former is unrealistic, and the latter is impossible.

Therefore, I must unite Lin Che by my side and ensure that there is at least one "common interest" between us.

Lunch concluded in a pleasant atmosphere for both hosts and guests.

Kogoro Mouri finally couldn't resist and gulped down three glasses of beer, and was already a little drunk.

Ran Mouri smiled apologetically, "Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry to have troubled you today. The food was delicious, thank you."

She pointed outside, "I need to take Dad home to rest, so I won't disturb you any longer. Conan, shall we go?"

Conan shook his head and said in a childish voice, "I won't go back yet. I'll go play at Dr. Agasa's house later."

"Oh, okay? Then remember to come home for dinner tonight." Ran Mouri smiled sweetly, then helped the bumbling detective leave.

Okay, let's get down to business.

Lin Che beckoned to Conan, "Come with me to the car and we'll talk."

Conan hesitated slightly, "Can't we just talk here? We're all people who know the truth."

“No,” Lin Che grabbed Conan by the collar, “I’m afraid you’ll refuse and run away later.”

The rest of the group: "???"

Professor Agasa was getting anxious, but Ai Haibara pulled him back and shook her head, saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Hayashi won't do anything to Conan."

"But......"

"I guess he's planning to move into the Kudo family's house. He needs a new, safe shelter for the time being, and he likes to freeload without spending any money."

Ai Haibara stared at Lin Che's departing figure, her eyes gleaming with wisdom.

After a while.

The GTR engine roared, and after leaving the parking lot, it accelerated further and sped away.

This is the first time I've driven my own car out for a leisurely stroll, so I might as well take Conan for a ride.

Xiao Ke sat quietly to the side like a normal child, but his eyes couldn't help but wander around—men, after all, have loved cars since they were young.

From the city center to the suburbs.

Then take the winding mountain road from the suburbs to Yeshan.

The weather was clear and the air was crisp, making for a pleasant drive.

......

Temporary roadside parking spot.
