Chapter 83 Intimidation
"I guess we can't go in, so we should stay at home. I heard that Moritani Teiji is very vicious, like a vampire. Girls who have seen him are scared to tears." He was making an innuendo in the hope that Xiaolan would change his mind.
"Vampire!" Xiaolan hugged her body tightly, a little scared.
Haha, Xiaolan is like that. He just believes what others say. It’s so simple. What’s the matter, don’t dare to go now.
"No! I still have to go." Xiaolan said firmly.
"Yes, yes, we're still at home..." Ye agreed, but suddenly realized something was wrong, "Nani, you still want to go? Why, aren't you the most afraid of ghosts?"
"Because...because this is an agreement between Xinyi and I." Xiaolan blushed slightly and looked at the starry sky outside the window with longing, "Xinyi promised me that as long as I go to help him keep the appointment, he will make it with me."
I’m going to watch a midnight movie together this Sunday at 10pm.”
What! This is the place where Moritani Teiji will blow up in the end. If Xiaolan goes there...Although Xiaolan is not in danger in the original plot, the final incident is resolved safely. But the life of a good partner is left to that illusory fate.
, this makes Ye, who is a member of the dark world, unable to accept it.
Destiny! It should be in your own hands.
According to the memory in Ye's mind, Moritani Niji is a person who is extremely demanding about his works of art. No matter what architectural design he makes, he must make the building symmetrical. And he only developed this hobby in middle age.
His habit has become more and more morbid over time. Therefore, those asymmetrical buildings he made when he was young, in his eyes now, these works are complete failures. Even the failure cannot express the completeness.
It might be closer to say it was a stain. He hated these failures and made a very crazy move, which was to destroy them all.
On April 29, a taxi stopped at the entrance of Moritani Teiji's mansion.
The night I followed Mouri out of the car, I looked at the completely symmetrical design of the house and showed an expression that was true. Just like in my memory, my mental mysophobia was really serious.
Conan was very excited and jumped up and down after getting off the car, eager to get in. "Sister Xiaolan, hurry up."
Xiaolan looked at the wrinkled invitation in her hand and felt a little uneasy. She probably didn't care, it was just a little wrinkled.
"Hello, this is our invitation letter." Xiaolan carefully handed the invitation letter to the waiter like a child who had done something wrong.
The waiter held the wrinkled invitation and glanced at Xiaolan more in surprise. Then he bowed respectfully to Xiaolan and made a gesture to invite her in.
Xiaolan blushed, lowered her head and walked quickly to the garden in front. It was so embarrassing.
No matter what you see along the way, there will definitely be an identical object on the other side to match it.
Xiaolan stood in the middle of the garden, "Wow, the gardens and buildings on both sides are exactly the same!"
"This is the famous left-right symmetry design. Professor Moritani spent all his time in England until high school. It is precisely because of this that he is particularly fascinated by British-style architecture, and..." Mori was a little fragmented, and immediately took it from his pocket.
He took out a small notebook and said, "He is particularly persistent in this classical architectural style. His persistence is incomprehensible to others."
...I bring a cheat sheet with me when I come to a place like this.
"His original name was Moritani Sadaharu, and later he changed his name to the symmetrical Moritani Second." Mouri Kogoro continued to read from the cheat sheet, completely ignorant of how to write the word shame.
It's really sick to the core, Ye thought secretly.
"This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful courtyard!" Xiaolan was like a happy butterfly, shuttling back and forth among the paths in the garden.
At this time, a man in a brown and gray suit walked out of the British-style mansion, "It's an honor to be praised by you. Hello, this is the first time we meet. I am the owner of this house. Moritani Teiji."
Is this guy Teiji Moritani? At first, Ye Gang thought he was an Englishman. He was fair-skinned, tall, and looked so serious. At first, Ye Gang thought he was an Englishman?
Xiaolan was startled and stopped quickly, "Hello, I am Mao Lilan. This is my father, because Shinichi... Kudo Shinichi has a case in another place and cannot be invited, so he asked us."
"Ah, that's it." Moritani Teiji had a very pity expression on his face.
"But what does it matter? Our uncle is also a very powerful detective! Just now, uncle read a lot of words that I didn't know according to the cheat sheet." Ye looked at Mao Li with admiring eyes.
Uh, kid, what are you talking about? Kogoro's face burst into tears just as he was about to smile. It was really bad luck to bring this child out, and nothing went smoothly.
Kogoro covered Ye's mouth, "Ahem, don't pay attention to the kid's nonsense. I, Kogoro Mouri, please give me some advice."
"Ah, you are famous..."
After a while, Moritani Teiji led everyone to the back garden. "The afternoon tea party will be held in the backyard."
The backyard is already crowded with people. They are all models and entertainers, entrepreneurs and critics, as well as famous actors. Those who appear here are all familiar faces who often appear on TV.
"Wow, these are all such exquisite pastries!" Xiaolan looked at the pastries on the table and praised them sincerely. Such beautiful pastries make people reluctant to eat them.
Click! "Sister Xiaolan, this tastes really good, you should try it too." Ye Yi held the two in his hand and one in his mouth, taking a total of five. The drink cup was placed in front of him so that he could drink it without using his hands.
For drinks, you can drink whatever you want by putting your mouth to the rim of the cup.
In fact, there is a straw, but I always feel uncomfortable using a straw at night, so it is better to drink in large gulps.
...The noisy atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye who almost climbed on the table.
Kogoro and Xiaolan wished they could crawl in through a crack in the ground. They would never be able to bring this kid out again next time. It was so embarrassing.
After a long silence, uncontrollable laughter gradually came from the crowd, "Haha, this child is so cute." An actor said.
"Yes." An artist answered.
"Back then, I was too nervous to do anything. I would just follow my father closely." An entrepreneur recalled.
.....
Although she got everyone's understanding, Xiaolan still lifted Ye from her seat.
"Ah, what is this, Mr. Moritani, do you think you lost it?" Xiaolan handed a piece of cardboard on the table to Moritani Teiji, because it had the words Moritani Teiji's relatives written on it. "It's strange.
, you clearly remember that there was nothing here just now?”
"Oh?" Moriya Teiji was also a little curious, who left this for him.
Turning over the cardboard, Teiji Moritani's expression instantly became terrifying. Maori looked at Teiji Moritani with an ugly face and curiously approached him.
"Stop all actions, otherwise your life will be in danger!" Mao Li read out the information on the paper and immediately shouted in surprise, "What, couldn't this be a threatening letter? Well, the sender has no signature.
, I just drew a black waning moon.”
Moritani Teiji was always in shock and did not notice Kogoro's approach. By the time he found out, it was already too late. Kogoro had already read out all the contents of the letter, and he could no longer hide it.
"Mr. Moritani Teiji, what on earth is going on?" one critic asked.
"Yes, Mr. Moritani Teiji." An artist.
"Why don't you call the police first? I know the police officer," Kogoro said.
"Don't, the police can't deal with this guy. Letting the police go will only kill you in vain. He and we don't belong to the same world." Moritani Teiji quickly stopped Kogoro and then said in a panic tone.
