There was still some time before Kanano Kanato and Mouri Kogoro made an appointment to meet. Moori and his group, who had arrived early, plus Ehara, were quietly admiring the painting album of Kanano Office.
Conan quickly finished reading the collection of illustrations by the up-and-coming artist Choi Ye of the Kagang Office. He saw Jiang Yuan looking out the window in a daze, so he came over and looked out the window with Jiang Yuan.
The raindrops outside the window were falling in patter, and the scenery outside the window seemed to have been filtered by the BBC.
Conan looked for a long time but couldn't see anything outside the window that could attract Jiang Yuan, and he was a little curious for a moment.
Of course Jiang Yuan is not looking at the rain scene, but sensing the angry soul in the apartment building opposite. If nothing else, when the anger reaches a certain threshold, the owner of the soul will kill him and give Jiang Yuan two pieces of money.
Fresh soul fragments.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, do you still want to read your album of paintings?" Conan greeted Jiang Yuan in a low voice, then pointed to the album of paintings by Kagome Kane in his hand and asked.
"I've finished reading." Jiang Yuan came back to his senses and looked at Conan. He handed the album of paintings in his hand to Conan and then took Conan's album of paintings from Choye.
Sure enough, Ehara found a small butterfly of the same style as the one signed by Kanato Kanato in the signature area of Chouno's painting album. Seeing two identical little butterflies, Ehara didn't know whether Miss Chouno was smart or stupid.
Call her not smart, Miss Choye also knows how to give herself a back-up in ghostwritten works.
Let's just say she's smart...if she was really smart, her life wouldn't be hanging by a thread right now.
Jiang Yuan looked at the apartment building opposite again, and he sensed that two fresh soul fragments had just been produced in the apartment building opposite.
Kanato Kaneto has already taken action.
Conan saw Jiang Yuan looking out the window again, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Brother Jiang Yuan, what's outside the window? I see you always look outside."
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what you just said." Jiang Yuan shook his head and looked at Conan and said.
"Eh? What do you think, brother Jiang Yuan?!" Conan's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Yuan's words. He was not afraid that Jiang Yuan was wrong, but that Jiang Yuan was not interested in reasoning.
In the past, when he was Kudo Shinichi, he was always with Ehara. At that time, he didn't feel that Ehara had any interest in reasoning.
For Conan, other insights or reasoning abilities can be cultivated, but interest in reasoning cannot be cultivated.
If you don't like it, it will be difficult to like it in this life. If you like reasoning, you can reason about anything in life.
Ehara closed Miss Chouno's painting album, then glanced at the staff member who was chatting with Mouri Kogoro and said:
"I think Mr. Hanaoka is definitely not in his studio right now. Maybe he is in Miss Choye's apartment right now..."
"N-Nani?!" Conan really didn't expect Jiang Yuan to say such a shocking thing. Then he glanced at the staff cautiously and sneakily approached Jiang Yuan.
"Brother Jiangyuan, is there any evidence for what you said?"
If you want to be a detective, you must have a gossipy heart, and there is no doubt that Conan is very successful now.
But if you look at it this way, Suzuki Sonoko actually has the potential to become a detective. There is no one in the entire Teidan High School who is more gossipy than Suzuki Sonoko...
Jiang Yuan was just about to continue talking to Conan, but found that a unicorn horn squeezed between Conan and him...
Unlike the unicorn, this horn is black.
Jiang Yuan looked around the corner, and sure enough, Mao Lilan also squeezed over as if nothing had happened. It seemed that the gossip mentioned by Jiang Yuan had attracted her.
Looking at Mao Lilan who was listening attentively, Jiang Yuan was speechless. He was so upright, not even pretending!
Conan waited for a while and found that Jiang Yuan had not spoken yet. He looked back curiously, but as soon as he turned around, he was startled by Mao Lilan who was so close!
"Sister Xiaolan...why are you gossiping like Sister Yuanzi?" Conan squinted his half-moon eyes and complained to Mao Lilan, who had an innocent face and a slightly red face.
"Well...you go on, you go on~" Mao Lilan felt a little embarrassed after being exposed by Conan, and asked Jiang Yuan to continue with a sneer, but she stayed where she was and did not move.
Conan laughed teasingly and then turned to look at Jiang Yuan. Two pairs of eyes were looking at Jiang Yuan expectantly, waiting for him to share the gossip.
Looking at the two pairs of eyes hungry for knowledge, Jiang Yuan felt a little embarrassed. Where did he get the evidence? Isn't it all based on the plot~
So Jiang Yuan simply said: "There is no evidence, it's just intuition~" This speech was very much in the style of Mouri Kogoro, and Conan and Mouri Ran suddenly slumped their shoulders...
Sure enough, we can't have too much hope for Jiang Yuan at this time... Conan looked at Jiang Yuan in front of him speechlessly. It should be said that he is really worthy of being a part-time reporter, and his ability to do it right away is really full!
What was different from the excitement here in Jiangyuan was that Mouri Kogoro and the staff member no longer knew what to talk about. The two of them sat on the sofa and stared at each other for a long time without speaking.
Mouri Kogoro looked at the watch on his wrist and immediately stood up, dissatisfied and angrily said to the staff: "It's already half past five, how long do the great painters intend to make us wait!"
Originally, the time agreed upon by Kanano Kanato and Kogoro Mori was five o'clock in the evening. As a host, it was already rude to ask guests to wait. Now, half an hour has passed and no one has shown up.
Originally, Mouri Kogoro had been embarrassed enough today, and he had agreed to show Jiang Yuan his heroic appearance as a model, but it turned into a conversation.
Coupled with being repeatedly ignored, Mouri Kogoro could no longer suppress his anger.
The staff member in green who was sitting opposite Kogoro Mouri quickly offered some kind words to calm Kogoro Mouri down, and then asked the other staff in the office to contact Kanato Kanato.
Staff members in white clothes anxiously called the phone numbers at Kanato Kanato's home and studio, but no one answered.
"The phone numbers at the teacher's home and studio are not connected!" The staff member in white had a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Hey, are you at Miss Choye's house? Today is the deadline for Miss Choye~" the staff member Xiaolu said after thinking for a while. Normally, Kanato Kanato of this Miss Choye collects her drawings in person.
"Miss Choye?" Mouri Kogoro repeated Choye's surname. As a qualified LSP, Mouri Kogoro had a keen sense that this Choye Ye was a beautiful woman.
When the staff member Xiao Luo saw that Mouri Kogoro seemed to be interested in Choye, he hurriedly introduced him to the famous detective. No matter what, he had to be held back until the boss gave the next instructions...
