Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Chapter 29 Impulsive Conan

After the farce of the boxing game machine ended, the group played in the venue for a while. Conan found many games to challenge Chen Shuo, but was easily defeated by Chen Shuo. The crowds around were surging, and laughter and cheers were heard one after another.

Just as they were enjoying the game, Conan suddenly scratched his head with a silly grin and whispered to Nakajima: "Uncle Nakajima, I need to go to the bathroom. Where is the bathroom in the venue?"

"I just happened to want to go to the bathroom, so I'll take you there." Nakajima nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the bathroom.

"Remember to hurry up!" Mao Lilan said while playing a racing game and waved her hand.

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon!" Conan responded, but he was wondering in his heart what games Chen Shuo was not good at.

As they left, Chen Shuo and Mao Lilan continued to play in the venue, thinking about what to play next. At this time, Mao Lilan caught a glimpse of Mao Li Kogoro sitting alone on a stool, looking dazed, obviously still in the afterglow of drunkenness.

"I have to go see Dad." Ran Mouri was worried about Kogoro Mouri's condition and decided to take care of him.

"That's right. It seems Kogoro did drink quite a bit last night." Chen Shuo nodded. Seeing that Maori Kogoro's face was indeed grim, he said, "You go ahead. I'll go get some drinks and get him some tomato juice to sober him up."

"Thank you, Brother Shuo." Mao Lilan smiled warmly and felt grateful in her heart.

Mao Lilan walked quickly towards Kogoro, while Chen Shuo walked towards the vending machine to buy some drinks. He thought about Kogoro's condition as he walked, hoping that he would recover quickly.

Chen Shuo walked to the vending machine and began to choose a drink. Just then, he felt someone approaching from behind. He turned and saw a burly man in black approaching. He had a powerful aura and an invisible pressure.

"This person..." Chen Shuo thought to himself. He had a vague feeling that this person was not simple. His face was without any emotion, giving people a cold and mysterious feeling.

The man in black walked over to a public phone and started making a call, seemingly making some important conversation. Chen Shuo didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he thought the man in black was a little ridiculous.

"It seems your outfit really doesn't fit the atmosphere of this sales event," Chen Shuo said to himself with a faint smile. He didn't show any strange expression, but in his heart he felt a little ridiculous about the presence of this man in black.

"This kind of person who can't restrain his murderous aura may look intimidating, but he is obviously a novice at first glance." Chen Shuo looked at the man in black in his mind and decided to ignore him and continue to focus on his drink selection.

Suddenly, a deep and cold voice came from behind him. This voice was rude and seemed to completely ignore Chen Shuo's presence: "I am Tequila. The deal is done. Don't worry, Vodka. Please also inform Gin..."

Chen Shuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little shocked. This guy was actually Gin's subordinate? He turned around and looked at the man in black, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind. This man was actually talking on the phone in such a crowded crowd, completely unconcerned about whether there were any eavesdroppers around. His behavior struck Chen Shuo as ridiculous, even absurd.

"What a newbie," Chen Shuo thought to himself, a hint of contempt rising in his heart. He knew that characters like Tequila in the underworld often disregarded details, pursuing immediate gains and paying no attention to the information they revealed. Such people often didn't live long.

"Making a call like this in a crowded place like this is incredibly imprudent. If someone overheard it, it would be a huge problem."

As he continued to listen to Tequila's unconcerned phone conversation, Chen Shuo couldn't help but feel a tinge of sympathy for Gin. "It seems like Gin is such a miserable man. Having subordinates like this, he must be very tired." Chen Shuo couldn't help but complain in his heart, feeling a bit more sympathetic towards this man in such a high position.

Although he had only met Gin once, he had heard that Gin's abilities and methods were very outstanding, and that Gin was very knowledgeable about the rules, which made him have some good impression of him.

"In the underground world, survival depends not only on strength but also on discretion and wisdom." Chen Shuo's thoughts gradually returned to his own experiences in that world. He had been caught in a vortex of power and interests, and every step was full of calculation and caution. It had been a long time since he had seen such a young man.

"But someone like Tequila is really too naive." Chen Shuo couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself. If he were Gin, he would probably feel helpless and tired in his heart.

Suddenly, the sound of coins dropping to the ground caught the attention of Longqilan and Chen Shuo. Chen Shuo turned around and saw Conan! His wallet fell to the ground, and the coins were scattered all over the floor, making a mess.

Conan, like a real elementary school student, smiled foolishly with an innocent expression on his face and said mischievously: "Oops, my hand slipped!"

"This kid..." Chen Shuo couldn't help but shake his head. He couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart, so he hurried over.

Conan didn't care and started picking up coins on the ground, his eyes full of concentration and excitement. When he squatted down, his hand reached under Tequila's shoes. Tequila seemed to sense something and instantly showed a hint of stress reaction, kicking Conan away.

"Little Conan!" Chen Shuo was startled and stretched out his hands to catch Conan who had just flown over. He then picked him up in his hands like a kitten.

"Thank you, Chen Shuo...Brother!" Conan patted his chest and said awkwardly.

At this moment, Chen Shuo was holding Conan, his eyes full of murderous intent. He looked coldly at Longequilan, and there was a hint of warning in his tone: "You'd better respect the elderly and love the young."

Tequila was startled by Chen Shuo's cold, murderous gaze, and his heart trembled. Although he considered himself a somewhat influential figure in the underworld, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when faced with Chen Shuo's strong aura.

Tequila paused, tilting his head slightly, wondering if he should stay any longer. But he quickly realized that staying in this place was undoubtedly a mistake. His heart tightened, and he muttered, "Um... I'm sorry..." He quickly walked away from the phone, as if trying to shake off the uneasiness.

Watching Tequila flee in a panic, Chen Shuo turned his head and stared at Conan quietly. Although his eyes were as calm and deep as water, Conan felt a huge pressure and couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Chen Shuo! The man in black is most likely a member of the organization that made me shrink!" Conan hurriedly wanted to convey this information to Chen Shuo, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

However, Chen Shuo was unmoved. He simply threw Conan onto the seat to the side, causing Conan to cry out in pain. His impulsive mind calmed down a bit, and Chen Shuo's face turned serious. "You're too impulsive!"

"I..." Conan wanted to retort, but Chen Shuo's cold gaze made him feel uneasy. He realized that his behavior was indeed a bit reckless, and he regretted his impulsiveness just now.

"You placed a bug on Tequila's shoe?" Chen Shuo asked in a low voice, dissatisfaction evident in his eyes. "Do you know what this means?"

"I just want to find clues about the Black Organization!" Conan responded eagerly. Although he was a little panicked, he was still unwilling to show weakness in front of Chen Shuo. "This is the only way we can find the truth!"

"But have you considered the consequences?" Chen Shuo's voice rose a few degrees, his tone full of warning. "If this bug is discovered, the Black Organization can simply follow the clues and find you! You're the only person who's touched the sole of Tequila's shoe today."

Conan fell silent. He understood that Chen Shuo was right. But he still had a lingering conviction: "I must know their plan. Only then can I find their weakness."

"Kid! To put it bluntly, tracking down the Black Organization is your own business." Chen Shuo's tone was cold and ruthless. "But your actions will not only implicate yourself, but may also complicate the entire situation and even implicate those around you."

"I know, but I can't just give up like this." Conan sighed slightly, his heart filled with anxiety. He wanted to uncover the truth about the Black Organization, but at this moment he was caught in an invisible dilemma.

"Calm down, kid." Chen Shuo took a deep breath and tried to stay calm so as not to shoot Conan and eliminate the trouble. "You are dragging your friends and family into the abyss!"

"Okay, I'll consider your opinion." Conan finally nodded. Although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, he also understood that it was not wise to continue to confront him head-on.

"In that case, I will find a way to get rid of the eavesdropping device later. You just stay by Kogoro's side and behave yourself." Chen Shuo said in a low voice, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

"Okay, I understand." Although Conan felt uneasy, he began to think seriously. Although he was unhappy, he felt that he should follow Chen Shuo's advice at this time.

Chen Shuo watched Conan's reaction and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the young detective seemed to be slowly understanding. Although their relationship was a little delicate because of Mao Lilan, he was still willing to give Conan guidance, just to prevent his impulsiveness from ruining his leisurely life.

"Remember, the underground world is no joke. To survive in this complex environment, you must be careful." Chen Shuo warned with a warning look.

Conan nodded helplessly: "I will, I will be more careful." As for whether he listened to Chen Shuo's warning or not, no one knew.

Watching Conan limping towards Mouri Kogoro, Chen Shuo thought for a moment, picked up the juice he had bought, and slowly followed Tequila.
