Chapter 0560 - Invitation to the Birthday Party
Saturday, March 21st, morning, Kudo's study.
While dusting off the book, the garden complained: "What are you doing, it's a good weekend, and the weather is so good, why do I have to come to Xinyi's house to help clean it, why do you care about him so much." β
"Garden, don't complain when you work," Lan smiled, "be careful of eating ashes." β
Yuan Zi thought about it, too, and hurriedly stopped talking.
After some time, when all the books had been dusted off, the garden said, "All right, now you can go." β
"No," said Ran, "the dust has just been on the shelves and desks and on the floor, and we'll have to clean it up before we can leave." β
"Huh?" cried the gardener with a bitter face.
Soon after, Lan found a rag bucket from the utility room and started working again.
After looking at the garden, he took the mop, and said: "Garden, before mopping the floor, you must sweep it first, and you must follow the texture of the tiles, and before sweeping, you must first clean up the bookshelves and desks, and clean them from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside." β
"Ah," Sonoko sighed, "Lan, how do you look like an old man." β
"Yes, yes?" Lan was embarrassed.
"Really, modern girls will go out and find a boyfriend by themselves," the garden complained, "I actually came here to work as a cleaner for that reasoning maniac, and I am so embarrassed to provoke whom, my love time." β
"Well, speaking of love," Lan said, "I wonder who Shinichi's first love will be? Shinichi must have been in love once or twice." β
"Wouldn't it?" said Yuan Zi angrily, "He seems to be relatively sluggish in this regard, and he is impatient, the only thing that is better than others is that his father is a world-famous novelist, and his mother is a once popular actor." β
Hey, hey, Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, don't speak ill of people to your face.
"Could it be that you ...... Lan" Yuan Zi stared at Lan and said, "Then again, Lan, you have been hanging out with that guy since you were a child, although you have a little more strength, but you are still very gentle, so I think, I wonder if Shinichi's first love is Lan you." β
"No, no," Lan said with a blush, "we're just childhood sweethearts who often play together." β
"Oh, then tell me about you, Ran," Yuan Zi smirked, "Your first love is the new one." β
"Wait, wait," Lan said hurriedly, "don't talk nonsense, garden. β
"Looking at the way you look, I guessed right. Yuan Zi smiled, "By the way, I don't seem to have heard of any rumors about you and other boys, and you are still here as a housewife today......"
Home, housewife? Conan was distracted for a while.
"Garden!" cried Ran, "you are, I'm going to be angry if you don't exercise any more moderation." β
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Lan asked, "Who could it be?"
Yuan Zi smiled: "You are so stupid, of course it is only possible that Shinichi." β
Lan said, "But how could he ring the doorbell when he went back to his house." β
Yuan Zi said, "Needless to say, he must have known from the doctor that we were here and wanted to surprise you." As he spoke, he pushed Lan towards the entrance.
Lan said, "However, Shinichi didn't tell me that he planned to come back recently." β
"Surprise, surprise," Yuan Zi smiled, "It's not an accident, where is the surprise, it must have come back early." Then he smiled, "What are you shy, and you're not going to pick up your sweetheart, don't you say that he is not your first love." β
"Really," Lan said embarrassedly, "you don't talk nonsense. β
The garden opened the door and found that there was a beautiful woman about twenty years old outside, and she was stunned for a while, and Lan and Conan who came with her were also stunned.
The woman asked, "Are you friends with Kudo?"
"Excuse me," Yuan Zi asked in surprise, "Are you Sister Mamei?"
Lan asked in a low voice, "Yuanzi, do you know her?"
"Have you forgotten?" said Sonoko, "She's the student council president of our first year at Teidan Middle School, and Sister Uchida, who is two years older than us, and now she is a top student at Toto University. β
"It's over. Asami Uchida smiled.
Sonoko said, "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Sonoko Suzuki." β
"I'm Maoriland. Ran said, "This is Edogawa Conan. β
"I'm Asami Uchida. Asami Uchida smiled, "Good afternoon, everyone." β
"Good afternoon, good afternoon?" the garden was taken aback, then looked at the time, and found that it was indeed noon, and it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Any questions?" asked Asami Uchida.
"No problem," said Sonoko, "we were helping Kudo clean the study, and I didn't expect it to be noon." β
"Oh," Uchida said with a smile, "then if you don't mind, I'll be the one too." β
Lan said, "How can thisβhow can this work? β
"It's okay," Uchida said with a smile, "I just have something I want to ask for advice, so I can't just watch you clean up." β
So, there is one more temporary cleaner, and her remuneration is the news of Shinichi Kudo.
Lan said: "Shinichi is working on a tricky matter, and I don't know where he is. β
Yuan Zi said: "It's like an undercover agent, or a one-line contact." β
Asami Uchida, who was rubbing a rag, said: "I see, no wonder every phone call is a phone recording. β
Lan asked, "By the way, senior sister, do you have anything to do with Shinichi?"
Asami Uchida said: "My friends at the University Reasoning Research Club, they said that they wanted to borrow a villa today for everyone to have a simple birthday party for me, so I was thinking, I hope I can invite Kudo Junior, he is a detective, if he can pass, he will definitely surprise my friends, they will be very happy." However, I made a lot of calls and no one answered, so I came over and took a look. β
"It turns out that today is Senior Sister's birthday. Lan said, and then asked a little nervously, "Senior sister, are you very familiar with Shinichi?"
"I used to be the manager of the football team. Asami Uchida laughed, and then recalled, "And, at that time, that confession. β
"Confession!" Ran, Yuanzi, and Conan were all taken aback.
"He should have forgotten," Asami Uchida sighed a little gloomily, "It's not unreasonable, people are like this, and first love will always fade." β
First love! Lan was taken aback, this person was Shinichi's......
"First love?" said Sonoko, "By the way, I remember when I was in junior high school, everyone spread that there was a first-year guy who went to talk to Sister Mami, and it turned out that the one who couldn't help himself was Kudo Shinichi." β
"What a conversation, that's a rumor. Asami Uchida smiled embarrassedly, "He just wants to confess to me, pure and beautiful first love." β
"Ah, ah, that," Conan changed the subject, "since Shinichi hasn't come back, do you want to invite someone else." β
"By the way, I know a detective, and he's definitely willing to go. Yuan Zi smiled.
"Oh, which detective are you talking about?" asked Asami Uchida.
"Garden, you don't want to," Lan Da was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No, no, you don't know, in case something happens......"
"You're not talking about the sleeping Kogoro, Detective Mori Kogoro, right?" said Asami Uchida, "In that case, Ran is ......"
"Yes, that's my father. Lan said.
"We've heard about the Maori detectives," Uchida laughed, "It's good if it really brings about an incident, but if there is no incident, where does the reasoning come from?" Then he said, "Excuse me, is the Maori detective at home now? β
"Uh," Lan said with a blush, "my dad isn't home right now. He glanced at Conan.
Conan realized, indeed, that Maori's beard and untidy clothes were indeed not suitable.
"But my dad must be free tonight," Lan said, "Senior sister, you tell us the address, can I let him go by himself?"
"Yes, that's it. Asami Uchida smiled at Ran.
Lan understood that Uchida Asami had guessed that Maori was at home but it was inconvenient to entertain guests, and her face turned even redder for a while.
"That," asked Yuanzi, "Senpai, is it okay to count us in?"
"Absolutely. Asami Uchida said with a smile.
"Garden, how can we go?" Lan asked in a whisper.
"What's the problem, we might be able to meet a few nice boys. Yuan Zi whispered, then covered her face and smiled, "I feel like my love is coming." β
With love, the garden threw away the bread, and by nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, all the work was completed, and after Uchida Asami left, he remembered the problem of lunch, so the three of them went to the pizzeria for a big meal.
Nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.
When the garden enters, he finds Yamazaki drinking tea, so he pours himself a cup and finds Mori sleeping on a desk full of garbage.
Sonoko asked Yamazaki, "Hey, when did my uncle come back?"
"Uncle he didn't go out," said Yamazaki, "in the morning he watched Marseille make phone calls and bets, and after he lost, he watched the game and drank beer, and then fell asleep." β
"Ah!" said the garden, laughing, "yes, Lan, you're lying." β
"I don't want to," Lan said angrily, "but I can't just come over with Sister Mamei." β
"That's right," said Sonoko, "if I see such a detective, I'm afraid I won't invite him, and my goal will be over." Then he said, "How do you wake him up? It's not too early." β
"I'll come. Lan said and called Maori and pinched his nose.
Maori yawned, "I'm back." β
Lan said: "Dad, we are going to Sister Mamei's birthday party, you go and get ready, get your beard straightened, take a shower and change your clothes." β
"Birthday party?" Mori perked up, "where, and was there a lot of people attending?"
"No, it's a villa in the mountains, and there's only Sister Mamei's classmates. Lan said, "They're all college students. β
"What! You're going to spend the night with college students in a villa on the hill?" cried Maori, "no, no, absolutely not." β
Lan clenched his fists, and said helplessly with anger: "That's why I called you to go with me." β
"No," Maori refused, "I'm a busy man, so I don't have that much time." β
"That's right, my uncle is a detective, so he can't go out on weekends, but the name Mori Kogoro is like a god to those of the Reasoning Research Club, and everyone must be eager to hear the story told by the detective himself. Yuanzi said deliberately, "Besides, this time it's for the birthday of Sister Ma Mei, who has won Miss Dongdu University, if it's not a beauty, she will definitely not dare to show up, it must be like a beauty pageant venue." β
"Miss Toto University?"
Yuan Zi smiled: "But since my uncle is so busy, we have to give up this idea." β
"No need, I'll accompany you as a guardian. "I think I'll have time to do it a little bit, and if I disappoint the members of the Reasoning Research Society with potential, it's too much to disappoint the members of the Reasoning Research Society, and the cases I've solved in the past are what I, as a senior, should do as long as they can make a small difference." β
"Oh yes!" said the garden, secretly making a triumphant gesture.
Maori asked, "By the way, what time does the party start?"
"There are already people in the villa. Lan said, "We just have to go over." β
"Nalan, prepare my clothes immediately. Maori said, "I'll take care of it." So saying, he went upstairs.
"Conan, hurry up too. Lan said as she cleaned up her desk, "I'll get the clothes ready for you." β
"Oh, thank you, Sister Lan. Conan said and went upstairs.
Sonoko said, "Yamazaki, are Mei Daiko at home? Ran and I want to borrow her bathroom for some use." β
"Go ahead. Yamazaki said, then asked, "But your clothes?"
"I called and called for someone to deliver it. The garden said.
Yamazaki asked, "By the way, Sister Asami is ......"
"Really, why don't you know Sister Mamei, but also, you used to be a typical unorganized person, and you disappeared as soon as the school bell rang. Yuan Zi said, "Hear clearly, Sister Ma Mei is a senior sister who is two years older than us, and a former student union president. β
"I'm really sorry, I still know this senior sister," Yamazaki laughed, "and I interviewed her a few times." β
"Huh?" asked the garden unexpectedly, "why haven't I heard of this?" β
"What's there to say, she asked me to do a job, let me find a club," Yamazaki laughed, "I didn't agree." β
"Well, I see. Yuan Zi smiled.
"Speaking of which, Mei Daizi also knows Sister Mamei. Yamazaki smiled, "And it can be said that it is very familiar." β
"Huh, how so?" asked Lan.
"I'll give you two examples, and you'll get the idea. Yamazaki said with a smile, "First, when I was in junior high school, I mediated the conflict between the Student Union Discipline Committee and Mei Daiko. Second, when she was in high school, Mei Daiko's own beautiful young invincible kendo club building. β
"If that's the case, it's really familiar. The garden asked, "Would you like to go with us?"
"Sister Mamei didn't invite us again, so let's wait until you ask," Yamazaki said, "and it happened that the first half of the restaurant was almost done." β
"That's fine. The garden said. β¦β¦
