Chapter 165 Matsumoto Ryohei: Its too difficult for me...
The Maori family got out of the car and walked into the courtyard.
Toshiya Tadokoro immediately put down the garden shears in his hand and stepped forward to greet him.
"You are Mr. Mori, right?"
"I am a student studying novel writing with Mr. Tokura. My last name is Tian Suo."
"Teacher has been waiting for you since just now. Please come with me."
The Mori family was walking, and Kogoro Mori, who had his own eye for beauty, spotted Etsuko Tokura, who was painting elegantly in the green courtyard.
"Eh? That lady is..."
"That...is the teacher's wife."
After Tadokoro Toshiya's introduction, Mouri Kogoro expressed an opinion that Prime Minister Cao also expressed as an expert.
"You are so beautiful! Mr. Tokura is so handsome~"
"dad!"
Mouri Lan next to him rolled his eyes, and used the method of pulling his ears to help Mouri Kogoro to retract his sight and continue walking forward.
After the Mori family left the courtyard, Etsuko Tokura's hand holding the paintbrush trembled slightly.
Etsuko Tokura, who frowned, bit her lip and slowly put down the palette and brush in her hand.
After holding her head with both hands for a while, she picked up the painting tools again and started sketching the painting she had completed a few days ago.
...
Entering the villa, the Maori family looked around and were immediately surprised by the interior decoration style.
Medieval armor, classical wooden building frames, torch-like wall lamps...
"This seems to be an ancient Western European building. It feels really different..."
"It gives people a bit of a creepy feeling..."
Maori Lan, whose willpower dropped slightly, frowned and leaned against Maori Kogoro.
Conan glanced around and found a somewhat familiar person near the round table in the living room.
Huh? How could it be her?
Almost at the same time, Maori and his daughter also saw one of the three people sitting at the round table.
"Doctor Cheng Shi!"
Mao Lilan immediately walked up to say hello, "Why is Dr. Chengshi here? Don't you live on Yueying Island?"
"It seems a little far away from Moon Shadow Island..."
Aso Minoru looked at the Maori family in front of him in surprise, remembering everything that happened on Moon Shadow Island.
I just didn’t expect to meet here again!
Just when Aso Minoru, who was unprepared, was panicking and didn't know how to answer for a moment, Qin Zhibo came over.
"Actually, she came with me today."
This voice is very familiar.
The Mori family turned their attention to Aso's figure behind him, and they couldn't help feeling surprised.
Mouri Kogoro: Why is this guy here? Is he trying to steal business from me?
Mao Lilan: Sure enough, Mr. Qin and Dr. Chengshi are a couple. The combination of detective and doctor is like Sherlock Holmes and Watson... Will I also become a doctor in the future? In this case, Shinichi...
Conan: Looks like there's going to be another murder?
At this moment, Conan noticed a middle-aged man standing at the door of the corridor on the right side of the living room.
Conan also felt a little familiar with this person.
It seems like we have met before?
At this time, the other two people in the living room also came forward.
"It turns out that we are all old acquaintances, so it will be easier to introduce ourselves to each other."
"We have no choice. We can only see famous Maori detectives on TV and newspapers."
"First time we meet, I am..."
In the living room, editor Fumio Doi and folklore researcher Shuichi Hamura introduced themselves again.
After that, Toshio Tadokoro brought Kogoro Mori into Daisuke Tokura's octagonal study, and the rest of the group communicated freely.
...
In the Octagonal Study Room, after Kogoro Mouri was startled by Daisuke Tokura's unique style, the two parties officially entered into a conversation.
"Excuse me, Mr. Tokura, why did you call me here..."
Daisuke Tokura's eyes suddenly became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "The reason why I came to you is to investigate my wife Etsuko's cheating behavior."
"Cheating...is that also an affair?"
The expression on Mouri Kogoro's face immediately became professional. After all, before Conan appeared, catching an affair was the biggest commission Moori Kogoro could receive.
Daisuke Tokura nodded and continued: "Actually, except for the detective named Qin, all the men I invited here today may be the partners of my wife's affair."
"I hope you will analyze who her cheating partner is through today's dinner, catch that wild man and expose this shameful behavior."
"As for the reward, one million should be enough, right?"
Upon hearing this expensive offer, Mouri Kogoro's eyes instantly brightened.
"No problem, let me take care of this matter with my famous detective Mouri Kogoro!"
"But I want to confirm again. The people you currently suspect of having an affair include your student, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, and the researcher of the university laboratory. It's these three people in total, right?"
"No..." Daisuke Tokura shook his head and added the last candidate for an affair for Kogoro Mori.
"There is also a 'cook' who is very good at cooking."
...
Villa Dresula, kitchen.
After all, today is a dinner party for 11 people including Conan, so it would be a bit hard to prepare it alone.
So Mao Lilan and Aso Minori took the initiative to find Matsumoto Ryohei and wanted to help cook dinner.
"Actually, I usually cook all the meals at home. If you don't mind, I can help you prepare tonight's dinner."
Mao Lilan, who had no impression of Matsumoto Ryohei at all, volunteered. Next to him, Aso Minoru nodded eagerly.
Matsumoto Ryohei glanced at the two of them, smiled lightly, and did not refuse.
He took out a package of meat sealed in a plastic bag from the black foam box on the operating table and handed the meat to Mao Lilan.
"Treat the blood on this piece of meat, cut it into pieces, and coat it evenly with cornstarch."
"I believe this shouldn't be a problem for this ingenious young lady, right?"
"Um!"
After receiving the ingredients, Mao Lilan immediately went to the operating table on the other side to operate.
As for Aso's reality...
Just when Matsumoto Ryohei was about to take out another bag of ingredients from the black foam box and hand it to Asana, who had spread his hands ready to take it, the movement of his hands suddenly stopped.
"By the way, Miss Maori called you 'Doctor Chengshi' just now, right?"
Aso nodded energetically, and her ponytail swayed accordingly.
"Actually, I used to be a doctor. Now my private hospital has not opened yet, but I should be considered half a doctor."
Before Aso could finish what he said, Matsumoto Ryohei's hand that only handed out the ingredients suddenly withdrew and pointed to the farthest end of the kitchen.
"There are some fresh vegetables on the counter over there. Go ahead and cut them into strips for salad."
"You don't need to take care of the operating table here."
Looking at Aso being carried to the far end of the kitchen, Matsumoto Ryohei took another look at the bag of ingredients at the deepest part of his foam box.
