Chapter 0320: The Incident of the Hotta Family

On the afternoon of Friday, January 10, on a mountain road outside Tama Town, Mori drove a seven-seater car with Ran, Conan, and Yamazaki in it.

"Are you sure you're not on the wrong path?" Lan asked, "Dad?"

"Of course. "We'll be able to go back for dinner." ”

Conan muttered, "It's better not to go back." ”

"Your show is tomorrow. Yamazaki laughed.

"Really, I knew I had taken that commission. "So you can come back from dinner." ”

"I don't know who it is, and it's not the detective's job to find pets. Lan said, "It's detrimental to identity." ”

"Of course. "I'm a well-known detective now, and people know me everywhere." ”

"I guess it's a negative reputation. Conan muttered again.

"It's not because of you, boy. Maori looked back and said.

"Ahh ”

"What?" Maori looked back and saw the figure standing in the middle of the road in front of him, and hurriedly braked suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Maori asked loudly, looking at the middle-aged fat man who walked over.

"I'm sorry, it's me who didn't do it. The man said, "You see, my car is in trouble, can you please take me to the villa in front?"

"Uh," Maori looked at the villa in the mountains in the distance, glanced back at Lan and the others, and then said to the man, "Come on." ”

"I'll be sure to thank you well. The man introduced himself, "My surname is Hotta, please advise." As he spoke, he handed a business card to Maori and got into the car.

"No problem, I'm happy to help. Mori took his business card as he spoke, and muttered in a low voice, "Hotta Heavy Industries, it should be a big company." Then he started the car.

Ten minutes later, the car came to the villa, a middle-aged man was cleaning the yard, saw the car hurriedly greeted him, found Mr. Hotta getting out of the car, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master." ”

"Yamauchi, my car broke down in the middle of the road," Mr. Hotta said, "and remember to tow it back later." ”

"Understood. Yamauchi said, and then saluted Maori, who was sitting in the car, "My surname is Yamauchi, and I am the housekeeper of this villa, thank you for sending the president back." ”

"You're welcome," Maori asked, "the car?"

"The parking lot is over there. Mr. Hotta said.

After Yamazaki, Ran, and Conan got out of the car, Mori started the car and drove towards the parking lot.

Mr. Hotta said to Yamauchi's butler, "Today they will stay for dinner." ”

"I'll be ready. Yamauchi said.

Mr. Hotta looked at the villa and asked, "Koichi and the two of them have arrived?"

Yamauchi said to the housekeeper: "When I arrived, they saw that the master had not arrived yet, and they were worried about you." ”

"Is that so? I think some of them wish I had been in a car accident and died sooner. Mr. Hotta said, and then smiled at the Mori who came over, "By the way, Mr. Mori happens to be my birthday party tonight, so let me entertain you as a thank you." ”

"Then I'd be respectful and obey. Maori smiled happily and asked, "I don't think I introduced myself, did I?"

"With your reputation as Detective Mori Kogoro," Mr. Hotta laughed, "how could I not recognize your honor." ”

"Oh, yes. Maori laughed.

However, Yamazaki and Conan noticed that Mr. Yamauchi's face turned white in an instant, and they looked at each other, and Conan muttered quietly, "It seems that something has been done." Then he said, "I can't go back today." ”

Yamazaki smiled and asked, "It's okay, I can send you back by courier then, how about it?"

"Spare me," Conan said with a wry smile, "I feel sick now at the thought of wearing a peacock suit." ”

"I was brought in as soon as school got out today, and I didn't bring a phone, so you better pray that there is a phone here," Yamazaki laughed, "otherwise ......"

Lan smiled, "Conan, I'd love to see you look like in those clothes, it must be cute." ”

"Sister Lan. Conan shouted dissatisfied.

After entering the villa, Mr. Hotta went to change his clothes, and Yamazaki asked Yamauchi butler, "Do you have a phone?"

"Sorry, we don't have a signal here. Yamauchi looked at Mori and said, "Mr. Mori, please come with me." ”

The Yamauchi butler settled the four of them in a room and then retired.

"Well, rest for a while, and get ready for a big meal," Maori said, "I'm so lucky that I can meet a president if I go the wrong way." ”

Lan said, "You finally admit that you are on the wrong path. ”

"Well," said Maori, "there's a big meal anyway, so don't worry about it." ”

"I'm going out for a walk. As soon as Conan finished speaking, he was picked up and thrown onto the bed by Maori as soon as he wanted to leave, "Don't make trouble for others." ”

Conan looked at Yamazaki, who shrugged his shoulders and signaled that there was no way.

Conan walked up to Yamazaki and whispered, "Why don't you go out and have a look?"

"If you want to do it, you will do it a long time ago," Yamazaki said, looking out the window at the courtyard, "It's either waiting for time, or waiting for someone." ”

"He's been here to be a butler for a while," Conan said, "Is anyone coming today?" he said, looking out the window.

After dark, the four Mori were invited by Yamauchi's butler to a restaurant, where there were two young men in addition to Mr. Hotta.

Mr. Hotta introduced Mori to his sons, Koichi Hotta and Ryoji Hotta.

After the four Maori were in place, the housekeeper of Yamauchi pushed a bottle of red wine out and said, "This is specially prepared by Young Master Haoyi for the master." ”

Maori's eyes widened as soon as he saw the mark, and he unconsciously took a sip of saliva, which made Ran's face blush.

Yamauchi's housekeeper poured good wine for Hotta father and son and Mori one by one, then put the wine on the table and poured juice for the three of Yamazaki.

Mr. Hotta said, "Yamauchi, come too." He raised his glass.

"Ah, thank you so much, President. Steward Yamauchi said as he poured himself a glass.

Hotta Koichi smiled and said, "So, let's wish Dad a happy fifty-eighth birthday." ”

Maori saluted afar, and then couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth.

"Wait," Ryoji Hotta said, "I think it's better for you to take a sip first, big brother." ”

Koichi Hotta asked angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

Ryoji Hotta said, "If it's poisonous inside, it's not good." ”

"Poof!" Maori immediately squirted out the wine that had just been swallowed after listening to them.

Koichi Hotta said, "You're too rude in front of your father, right? ”

Ryoji Hotta said: "If you don't come, I have heard a long time ago that your father's overseas career was greatly affected by your obvious childish approach, and you were ordered by your father to be disqualified as a director and sent to the branch." ”

"Are you saying I'm going to kill my dad for this?" said Koichi Hotta, "I've heard that you've been addicted to casinos lately, and you've borrowed a lot of money from outside. ”

"Smack!" Mr. Hotta slapped on the table, "You two bastards." With that, he lifted the tablecloth.

Watching the table full of delicacies and wine bottles fall to the ground, Maori said, "My dinner." Then he noticed that Yamazaki had grabbed the bottle with one hand, grabbed a plate of sashimi with the other, and placed the bottle and sashimi in front of him, so he smiled happily, "Great." ”

At this time, a woman in her thirties came in and said, "You two brothers still love each other as before." ”

Brother Hotta said in surprise, "Big sister!"

Mr. Hotta asked angrily, "Fumiko, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, is this your hospitality?" said Fumiko Hotta, "and you invited me to come by sending me an invitation yourself." ”

"We broke off our father-daughter relationship five years ago, how could I possibly give you an invitation?" Mr. Hotta yelled, "I don't want to see your face at all, get out of here." ”

"The person you have something to tell me is Dad, you. Fumiko Hotta said.

Mr. Hotta exclaimed angrily, "I don't have anything to talk to you about. With that, he left the restaurant. ……
