The next day, as expected, after Kogoro Mouri took Conan Ran and Kuu Shirai out for lunch, they said they wanted to stop by somewhere. Then, the group of people came to the door of a large house.
Mouri Kogoro knocked on the door, and then a middle-aged bald man came and opened the door. He looked a little nervous, "Are you the Moori Kogoro on the phone?"
"Yes, I, Mouri Kogoro, am a detective. This is my business card." Moori Kogoro rarely looked serious and looked particularly reliable.
The head of the family was working seriously, and the three followers behind him remained quiet even though they had many questions in their hearts.
The middle-aged bald man took Mouri Kogoro's business card and looked at it carefully, then raised his head and looked meaningfully at Moori Kogoro. He also looked at Xiaolan and others behind him, stepped aside, and said, "Please come in.
"
After receiving the consent, the group of people walked into the large mansion one after another.
Baijiu, who has been living in China in his previous life, has to admit that when it comes to the ancient houses of China, they are best preserved in Japan, and the most cultural traditions are inherited in Japan.
For example, in a house like this one, there is a sand pool at the entrance, a small pond next to it, and a reception hall at the end of the road. There is also a welcoming pine that grows very well next to the house. The layout is classical, elegant and leisurely, and it looks very good at first glance.
It is stylish and can reflect the wealthy status of the owner of the house.
Because the bald middle-aged man and Kogoro Mouri wanted to talk about something more private, so as a minor, Mao Lilan took Conan and Shirai Ku to play by themselves in the yard.
However, not long after, the roar of a bald middle-aged man came from the house: "What?! My wife is really stealing someone outside?!"
Xiaolan:……
Conan:……
Shiraijiu:……
This avoidance is the same as no avoidance, so what is the point of them blowing cold wind in the yard?
The answer is: just go through the motions.
As a family member brought by a detective, keeping secrets depends on self-consciousness, thank you.
Fortunately, the people inside also understood that what they were talking about was very private, so they did not make it more difficult for the children outside, so they lowered their voices. Xiaolan and the others could no longer hear the subsequent conversation.
The three of them began to stroll around the yard slowly, admiring the scenery.
However, the yard was not big. After a quick stroll, the three bored people simply squatted by the pond and looked at the koi carps wandering in the pond.
With Xiaolan, a real koi girl, around, Shiraijiu and Conan were lucky enough to see koi fish jumping out of the water several times.
It was a novelty once or twice, but the third time, Conan got tired of it, and his heart was full of speechlessness for Moori Kogoro.
Really, how can there be such a detective in the world who comes to report the results of a foreign language investigation and brings a child with him!
So slow, so boring...
Bai Jingjiu squatted by the pond, staring at the water in a daze - now she was wondering if her judgment was wrong. Maybe this was just an ordinary foreign language investigation. There was no so-called murder case, no dead people, let alone
There will be grievances collected for her...
In that case, why did she come back specifically? To be an elementary school student? High school students are more popular than elementary school students! And in the evening at Ekoda, you can watch a magic show for free.
What's here?
Are you watching a middle-aged man commit a crime, or are you watching a high school student detective in a daze?
After thinking about it, although Baijiu was caught off guard by the sudden jump in time, it could still be regarded as a sign of a plot unfolding. Unlike now, you have to analyze and guess by yourself whether there is a murder case...
It's very troublesome.
I don't know how long I waited before I heard the door of the mansion being opened, followed by the footsteps of a group of men walking unhurriedly on the road behind them. Because there was a row of greenery in the middle, covered by trees, Conan was startled.
Neither Shiraiji nor Shiraiji clearly saw who the visitor was.
Conan also noticed that Shiraijiu had noticed, so he came over to communicate in a low voice, "Hey, Shirai, is the person you mentioned here a guest of the bald uncle?"
"Maybe." Bai Jingjiu looked at the water with his chin in boredom. Among the three people here, Xiaolan may be the only one who has been excitedly looking forward to whether the koi inside will jump out again. "But this has nothing to do with us.
It doesn’t matter, it’s better if you don’t meddle in other people’s business. Don’t forget, this is someone else’s house.”
Right.
Conan also felt that Shiraijiu's statement was reasonable, so he didn't care anymore.
But after a while, the doorbell rang again outside the door, and because no one in the house responded, it kept ringing without stopping, as if it was urging, and people couldn't help but start to become irritated.
Sure enough, the next moment, the angry voice of a bald middle-aged man could be heard in the house: "Asshole! Where have all the people in the family gone! Those people only know how to fish in troubled waters..."
The voice stopped suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something.
Soon, the sound of the door opening was heard from the living room. When I turned around, I saw the bald middle-aged man walking out. He walked around and greeted Mouri Kogoro: "Sorry, I'll open the door first and take the guests away."
Once you get to the private room, come back immediately!"
Then, the middle-aged man walked through the corridor towards the entrance hall with an unhappy look on his face.
"Well, it seems we are guests."
Now that the middle-aged bald man had left, there was only one Mouri Kogoro in the room, so after Moori Kogoro packed up all the confidential photos on the table, he called Shirai Ku from the yard to come into the room and take a rest.
Anyway, we don’t talk about things in the house now. It’s better to let our children come and sit here than to blow the cold wind outside. After all, Xiaojiu is weak, so there’s nothing wrong with paying more attention.
Xiaolan? The child has grown up and her health has been good since she was a child. Mouri Kogoro is very worried about his daughter's health.
As for Conan...what are boys afraid of the cold wind?
Although there is a clear preference for Uncle Mouri, although there is a puppet master who has existed for an unknown number of years and is probably older than Kogoro Moori, Shiraijiu is a frail and sickly character, and Baijiu is not suitable for operating this little loli
There is no psychological pressure at all to enjoy such things as preference.
I don’t know whether Mouri Kogoro had foresight or something, but Mr. Maru didn’t come back for a long time after he left. It was not at all like what he said, that he would come back after taking the guests to a private room.
Just when everyone was bored, the phone at the corner of the corridor suddenly rang.
"Dulu-lu--Dulu-lu--"
"Dulu-lu--Dulu-lu--"
"Dulu-lu--Dulu-lu--"
The phone kept ringing, but the bald middle-aged man who said "I'll come back as soon as I go" never showed up to answer the phone.
As the phone booth kept ringing, Mouri Kogoro gradually lost his patience, sat up from his original lying position, and then walked out of the door, "It's so noisy! What the hell is that guy doing?!"
