Conan's Distillery: A Semi-Workaholic's Slacking-Off Life

Chapter 49 Three Adorable Mr. Robbers

A young man dressed in black strolled slowly down the street. The wind was strong that day, causing his trench coat to billow and giving passersby a strange sense of oppression.

But this boy, who exudes a mysterious sense of oppression, is incongruously holding a pink one in his hand.

Bai Yexiu licked the stains on his fingers, and when he looked up, he saw three familiar figures in the distance.

"Brother Longze?"

"Conan?"

This familiar scene gave Bai Yexiu a feeling that something was about to happen. After all, sometimes when people get used to a certain rule, they will have a premonition in certain situations.

"Brother Longze," Ayumi tugged at Bai Yeshu's clothes as he walked over, "It seems we've found a treasure map!"

"Brother Longze, come with us to find the treasure!" Yuan Tai waved the paper excitedly, as if afraid others wouldn't know he had found a treasure map.

Meanwhile, three men in black standing back to back not far away also caught Bai Yexiu's attention. At first, Bai Yexiu thought they might be members of the organization, but seeing the suspicious behavior of the three men, he became certain that they couldn't possibly be members of the organization.

To be honest, those three men in black seemed desperate for everyone to know they weren't good people. How could any organization possibly keep such stupid idiots?

"There's really no other way, I guess I'll have to go along with you!" Bai Yexiu said, feigning helplessness as he rubbed his unattractive head. The trio were overjoyed that Bai Yexiu had agreed, almost jumping for joy.

However, Bai Yexiu, who had just looked helpless, couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth turn up wildly when no one could see him.

He knew that this treasure hunt with the Junior Detective League would allow him to make up for his entire month's performance targets, meaning he wouldn't have to do the tasks Gin had given him. After all, a single maple leaf coin was equivalent to the organization's monthly expenses, which was already a huge sum of money.

The Junior Detectives were completely unaware that they had become a target for both sides.

"Look at the first sign, doesn't it look a bit like Tokyo Tower?" Bai Yexiu chuckled, stealing Conan's line.

Conan had just opened his mouth when he heard Bai Yexiu steal his line, so he could only pout helplessly.

"Yay!" Apart from Bai Yexiu and Conan, the three children began to cheer excitedly.

Conan's lips twitched, and he looked speechless—wasn't that sign obviously Tokyo Tower?

With a gentle smile on his face, Bai Yexiu slowly turned his head, but when he saw the three men in black behind him, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

The three suspicious-looking men in black looked up and met Bai Yexiu's warning and cold gaze.

"..."

A bead of cold sweat simultaneously dripped from the foreheads of the three men in black.

Soon, Bai Yexiu turned his head back, as if nothing had happened, and started playing around with the group of four.

One of the suspicious trio swallowed hard and asked timidly, "Should we... still follow them?"

Hearing his companions having second thoughts, one of them, despite sweating profusely, stubbornly insisted, "Go for it! Why wouldn't we go? Don't forget why we came here."

He's just a kid.

Not far away, the leader of the men in black looked at Bai Yexiu with disdain. This brat can only glare at them; when they try to intercept him, he might even get beaten up.

So, with this beautiful fantasy in mind, the three men in black followed them onto the same bus.

On the back seat of the bus, Conan and the others were discussing the meaning of "ORO" on the map, while Byakuya seemed indifferent, holding a phone and trying to persuade Peño to help him.

He couldn't leave midway to steal the coins, otherwise Conan would suspect him. But if he stayed and had someone else switch the coins for him, he could get the coins and have an alibi—why not?

However, it's not very reliable to entrust such a large sum of money to peripheral members for switching, and Gin and the others are not in Tokyo. They can't ask anyone outside the organization for help. After thinking it over, Pei Nuo is the only one they can talk to.

But if you want Pei Nuo's help, you'll need some time to discuss the profit sharing with him first.

"Brother Longze, what does 'ORO' mean?"

After discussing for a long time without any clue, Mitsuhiko decided to ask Byakuya, who seemed to be engrossed in playing on his phone.

Bai Yexiu looked away from his phone screen, his expression slightly troubled, but he still managed to bluff his way through the children: "I know, but this place... you're all too young, it's not good for you to be involved in this..."

Upon hearing this, Conan confidently declared, "It doesn't matter!"

So, at Conan and the others' insistence, Byakuya took them to a place called "ORO"—

The pink signboard features the word "ORO" decorated with colorful lights, and the words "Sex Toys Specialty Store" are prominently printed in magenta.

Clearly, the children didn't know what "sex toys" were and rushed inside excitedly, leaving Conan blushing.

"Ryu... Ryuze," Conan slowly turned his head, a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "So how do you know about this shop?"

"Just passing by," Bai Yexiu said with an innocent smile.

Before Conan could react, Genta, who had turned back from the store entrance, dragged him inside.

Bai Yexiu wore a smug smile, as if his scheme had succeeded, and waited outside the store with his phone in his pocket—he didn't want to go to a store with the face he usually used when going out.

At the same time, the three men in black who had been following them also sneaked into the store.

There was only one female employee in the store who appeared to be Italian. When four children rushed in, before she could stop them, three more men arrived.

Left with no other choice, the shop assistant forced a smile and said in his usual tone, "Gentlemen, what are your requirements? We offer both men's and women's products here."

The man in black standing at the front was about to refuse when he noticed the female shop assistant's gaze was somewhat subtle. She glanced at them a few times with a probing look, and then her expression suddenly became enigmatic.

"I understand. Gentlemen, please follow me. Our shop also has special products for men. We guarantee you'll be satisfied when you use them!"

An incongruous blush appeared on the faces of the three men dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.

At this moment, the commotion caused by the four children bursting in drew the attention of several customers in the store. Furthermore, the children's ransacking of the place alerted even the store manager.

A minute later, the four children were kicked out of the store by the burly Italian store manager for rummaging through the merchandise and disturbing other customers.

Conan's face remained red even after he was kicked out of the shop.

"Wait a minute, weren't we going to Tokyo Tower at the beginning? How did we end up going in the wrong direction?" Conan recalled the place they originally wanted to go.

The three men in black inside the shop, their faces flushed, were passionately explaining something to the shop assistant.

"You've got it wrong, the three of us aren't in that kind of relationship..."

"Sir, don't try to fool me. Three men come to this store, what else would they be here for but this? Come on, take a look at this..."

"No!..."

Through the shop window, Bai Yexiu could see three men in black frantically explaining the situation to the shop assistant.

What a pair of adorable robbers!
