[Detective Conan] Real Liquor Uses Beauty to □□

He was like a delicate, priceless piece of porcelain, a beautiful and fragile work of art.

“Wow...” The policewoman marveled. “I don’t even dare touch his face... It feels like he’d cry for ages if I did.”

Gu Jianlin, who would cry for ages if touched: ...

Self-loathing, self-destructive, withdrawn.

He hated this body every waking moment. Beauty that was all surface, a body like porcelain, frail stamina, and an abnormally fast healing rate.

He was a heartless demon.

A ghost who spent his days chasing the light and fearing it.

“...I killed someone.” The knife in his hand was still dripping with blood. It fell at his feet. “Come find me, Officer.”

A real-liquor story. He makes a sudden appearance.

“What a shame.” His eyes curved into a smile, color rising in his pale cheeks as darkness engulfed him, nearly merging with him completely. “You’re too late.”

The blurb is crazy, and so is the story.

Lots of out-of-character moments and original headcanons. My take on a beautiful, universally adored protagonist: sweet and obedient on the surface, but actually bold enough to take on the world. Joins the Black Organization in the middle and later parts.

He loves doggos and can’t resist them, especially a doggo soaked by the rain.

If there’s a pairing, it’ll probably be either Hagiwara or Matsuda, though other characters might join in.
