Mouri Kogoro saw a group of people going to the water bath to scoop water and clean their hands. He yawned, raised his hand to check the time with his watch, and reminded loudly, "Hey, hey, the game starts in twenty minutes, can you make it?
?”
"Isn't there a movie viewing area next to the main hall?" Mao Lilan cleaned up his hands and turned around and said, "We will go there to worship and then watch the game there. We should be able to catch up!"
"I'm ready," Suzuki Sonoko also finished cleaning her hands and watched the five children wash their hands. "Kids, hurry up too!"
Mitsuhiko was urged to feel helpless, "We are already very fast, don't be so anxious, we will definitely have enough time!"
"Xiao Ai and I are fine here!" Ayumi greeted with a smile. When she turned around and was about to pull Haihara Ai away, when she saw the crowd not far away, she was stunned for a moment and looked at it intently.
"What's wrong?" Haibara Ai then turned his attention, and immediately saw Kuroki Seiji who was leaning over to talk to someone. He moved his eyes downward and saw a ten-year-old boy wearing a black kimono with a pair of red eyes, "
I remember he was..."
On the shrine, Chi Feichi also saw Feimo over there. After the two sides looked at each other, they just nodded without much reaction.
The three children ran over enthusiastically.
"It's Xiaoshu's brother!"
"Let's go say hello!"
"Hey..." Dr. A Li quickly followed, "You guys run slower!"
Before being surrounded by children, Feimo finished talking to Kuroki Yasuji, turned around and looked at the group of people approaching. When he looked at Chi Feichi, he saw Feichi crawling out of Chi Feichi's shoulders, although he quickly moved away.
He opened his eyes, but still couldn't help but put a smile on his face, and took the initiative to say hello to Chi Feichi and others, "Mr. Chi, Mr. A Li, long time no see...and that one, he should be the great detective.
Mr. Mouri Kogoro, right?"
"Ah?" Mouri Kogoro almost didn't react when he encountered such a mature greeting from a ten-year-old child, but when he thought about the kid in front of him politely calling him 'The Great Detective', it was hard to keep a straight face.
, smiled and raised his hand to scratch his head, "Yes, yes, I am Mouri Kogoro..."
Suzuki Sonoko felt that a certain shot was too precocious in his words and actions, so he turned his head and whispered to Maori Randi, "Who is this brat?"
Mao Lilan looked at Kuroki Jingsi who had retreated behind Feimo. She thought of Kuroki Jingsi who had gone to pick up "Xiaoshu" before. She also remembered that Conan had told her that Xiaoshu's brother was in the fourth grade of Didan Elementary School. She smiled and said,
"should be……"
"Didn't I just say that?" Genta excitedly turned around and introduced to Suzuki Sonoko, "He's Xiaoshu's brother, Xiaoshu!"
Only then did Suzuki Sonoko notice Kuroki Seiji, and she immediately realized, "It turns out to be that little brother..."
"Yes, I am Mizuno Mo, please give me some advice," the non-mokist lowered his eyes and said politely, "Xiaoshu has told me many times about you, and I am very grateful to you for taking care of Xiaoshu before."
"No, it's nothing... Xiaoshu is always well-behaved and sensible, and everyone likes him very much," Mao Lilan quickly responded with a smile, "and the person who took care of him has been Brother Fei Chi, so we couldn't help him much."
"Anyway, thank you for making Xiaoshu happy," Feimo looked at Sonoko Suzuki and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, "These two..."
"My name is Koshizui Nanatsuki, and I am also a detective. Please give me some advice," Koshimizu Nanatsuki responded with a smile, then turned to look at Suzuki Sonoko, "She is..."
"Ah, I'm Suzuki Sonoko..." Suzuki Sonoko took the initiative to introduce herself. She felt that the calm and mature look on Shota in front of her was a bit familiar. She glanced at the silent Haibara Ai next to her and laughed dryly.
The last thing she knew was how to get along with such a brat.
Mitsuhiko saw that Fei Mozheng was in a good mood, but he was confused for a moment, still embarrassed to call her too affectionately, "Mizu... Mizuno-senpai, are you here to watch the game too?"
"No, I came here to participate in the competition." Feimo Zhengtai said.
"Why?!"
The three children shouted in surprise, and even Conan, Haibara Ai, Mouri Kogoro and others turned their attention to Feimo Shota again.
Mitsuhiko confirmed in surprise, "Are you going to participate in the Yayoi Cup competition held today?"
"That's right," Fei Mozhengtai affirmed, "but I only participated in the E-level competition, which is the lowest competitive level."
The three children breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing the reactions of the three children, Conan could only laugh inwardly.
Even if it is the E-level competition, which has the lowest competitive level, it is also a national formal competitive event. It is not easy to reach the quarter-finals at the age of ten.
Speaking of which, it seems that people in kimonos have been looking towards them since just now, most of them are young people, and there are two people of high school age...
Those who were probably participating in this competition noticed that there was a ten-year-old child among the contestants. It seemed that the person those people were paying attention to was not them, but this boy named Xiao Mo.
The people nearby looked at him very seriously and did not joke with his companions when they looked here. In this case, Xiao Mo might also be a very powerful person in the E-class group.
The three children didn't think too much about it. Thinking that there were acquaintances in the competition, their anticipation for the competition increased a lot.
"This is a national competition, it feels so awesome..."
"The E-class competition is the first to start. Are you going to the competition venue next?"
"We'll be cheering for you outside too!"
When the three children were talking around Feimo Shota, Kuroki Yasuji saw the person standing in front of the nearby Kagura Hall. He was stunned for a moment, squatted down and leaned into Feimo Shota's ear, and whispered a few words.
Feimo raised his eyes and looked at the people who came by, smiled at the three children, "Thank you, but I still have things to do now..."
With that said, Feimo looked up at Mouri Kogoro, Chi Feichi and others, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Uh, okay..." Mouri Kogoro subconsciously responded and watched Feimo walk to the Kagura Hall.
Seeing Feimo raising his head and talking to a middle-aged man, Yuantai asked out of curiosity, "Who is that uncle?"
Ayumi saw the middle-aged man squatting down in front of Fei Mo Zhengtai while he was talking, and guessed, "Are they the family members of Xiao Shu and Brother Xiao Mo?"
Conan raised his head and looked at Chi Feichi.
This kind of question should be asked to Chi Feichi. The person here who is most familiar with Xiaoshu's family situation is Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi caught Conan's gaze and said, "I met that person once before when I was invited to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms. He was their uncle."
"As expected, it's the Mizuno family in Kyoto..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the big one and the small one who were talking there.
Mizuno Yoshikazu is under forty this year and is tall. Even though the kimono he wears is only a simple and low-key style and the color is dark gray that is not very eye-catching, he still looks very imposing.
When he smiled helplessly in front of me, he seemed like a gentle and elegant uncle, an ordinary parent who came to watch his children compete.
Not even Mo Shota expected that Mizuno Yoshikazu would come. He greeted Mizuno Yoshikazu and asked why Mizuno Yoshikazu was here. After receiving a helpless look from Mizuno Yoshikazu, he felt helpless and funny in his heart and asked Kuroki Yasuji to come.
Before that, he opened the box containing his practice cards and asked Mizuno Yoshikazu to draw a card from it.
Mao Lilan watched the interaction between the two from a distance, and could see that the uncle and nephew had a good relationship. When she heard Suzuki Sonoko talking in the tone of "it's them, it's them", she curiously asked, "Sonzi, you also know their family.
People?"
"I don't know. Although I heard my father talk about the Mizuno family, I don't know anyone from their family at all," Suzuki Sonoko recalled carefully and confirmed that she did not know anyone from the Mizuno family. She said with a speechless face,
"It's very troublesome to deal with aristocratic families like those in Kansai. There are a lot of rules. We have many consortiums in Kanto. We can't play with them. The younger generations are not very familiar with each other. Moreover, the Mizuno family is also a very low-key family. Many
The property is managed by professional managers, and the family members rarely appear to the public. I really haven’t heard much about their family..."
As she said that, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up, "By the way, I remembered it! My father mentioned the Mizuno family a few years ago. It seems to have happened many years ago. The Mizuno family and the Ooka family were originally going to get married, but...
Mizuno's youngest son was seduced by a woman outside. He regretted his marriage and left the young lady of the Ooka family behind, and eloped with a woman outside. So my father told my mother that engagement should be decided by the child himself.
Do you like it or not... It seems that there is only one thing. Other than that, I haven't heard much about the Mizuno family. If it weren't for Brother Fei Chi who met Xiaoshu, I wouldn't have known that the brat was the Mizuno family.
people."
Chi Feichi: "..."
He had reason to suspect that the 'Kingto aristocratic family affairs' in Yuanzi's concept referred to the internal gossip of the Kyoto aristocratic family.
"My father never had any love for the young lady from the Ooka family from the beginning, and their marriage has never been formally agreed upon," Feimo Shota walked aside, stopped and looked at Suzuki Sonoko, and said calmly.
, "So it's not considered regretful. Please be careful what you say, Ms. Suzuki."
Suzuki Sonoko felt guilty about being caught gossiping about others behind their backs. Then she thought that Mo Shota was talking about 'father', which made her even more embarrassed. When she saw Mizuno Yoshikazu waiting in front of the Kagura Hall, he did not go up.
Before, I felt that my situation was a little better, "Uh...sorry..."
"Yuanzi is not gossiping about your family's private affairs," Mao Lilan wanted to explain to her good friend. She also felt that this was untenable, so she smiled dryly and said, "She has no malicious intentions."
"It doesn't matter, I'm just worried that you may have misunderstood, and I want to tell the truth clearly," Feimo didn't get entangled in this matter. He turned around and took a stack of singing cards from Kuroki Yasuji's hand, and told the five members of the Young Detective Team
The child said, "I'm about to go to the competition venue to prepare. Do you want to try to draw a song card? If there is a card you drew during the competition, I will try to grab it. Of course, you have
You can also tell me your favorite songs."
"Is this really okay?" Mitsuhiko wanted to participate, but was a little hesitant, "Will it cause trouble to your game?"
