【Chapter 182】Throwing the hook
"Long live the gray plain (mourning-chan)! Long live Gray Plains (mourning sauce) ......" The children gathered around Gray Plains, holding balloons and colorful flags provided by the staff in their hands. In stark contrast, Ji Haihong, who walked side by side with Gray Yuan, although he was less than a meter away from Gray Yuan, his surroundings were deserted, a desolate and miserable scene.
That's an exaggeration, isn't it...... Ji Haihong doesn't care, isn't he just losing the game, it's not that he hasn't lost before, besides, he doesn't rarely receive the praise of these bear children.
"I didn't expect Xiao Ai's racing skills to be so good?" Sister Xiaolan was very surprised, she usually thought that Gray Yuan was very quiet, although sometimes the performance was really like what the garden said, "like a shrunken adult", but I didn't expect that Gray Yuan, who seemed to be very calm, actually had such a passionate and handsome side. Seeing the wonderful moment of overtaking in the gray plain curve just now, Xiaolan was a little excited.
Now the children's attitude towards Gray Yuan is almost to the point of worship, for a girl like Ayumi, Gray Yuan can beat a powerful boy like Ji Haihong, that is her idol, and Gray Yuan is cool and handsome, and very smart and beautiful, isn't this the ideal self that every girl pursues?
And for boys like Yuantai and Mitsuhiko, Gray Yuan is very smart and beautiful, and he is very capable, so they naturally like such girls, so it is normal to have a worship mentality.
So, when they worshipped their idols, they began to mock Ji Haihong......
Who made Ji Haihong a villain now? ╮(╯▽╰)╭
The innocent Ji Haihong was simply lying down and was shot, he didn't expect that he would lose at the beginning, let alone that he inadvertently raised the image of Gray Yuan, and he didn't say anything about the children's cynicism...... It's impossible.
"Oh yes!" Ji Haihong has a big head, and the voice of this group of bear children is noisy enough, but the garden has to interject a few words, which makes him unbearable.
"Isn't it just six months' living expenses, and we can't afford it, so can you stop arguing, especially you, Sister Yuanzi!" Ji Haihong warned by name.
"Huh? Xiaolan, I found out that this little ghost is even more arrogant than Conan! In the face of failure, he ...... at all."
"Not discouraged at all, that's my attitude, hum, this little failure, how can I be angry! I'm not angry at all! Which of you saw me angry! Ji Haihong had a stern expression.
Everybody's seen it, okay......
The time soon came to noon, and everyone who had a lot of fun took the tour bus back to the villa under the arrangement of the staff. When they arrived at the parking area, they saw that Shiro Suzuki and others had also returned.
"Hey! Dad, how is the ball playing? Sonoko Suzuki beckoned.
"Ah, not bad! Did you guys have fun today? Shiro Suzuki asked.
"Happy!" The children replied neatly.
Conan was wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, which he got on the golf course, and he greeted Ji Haihong: "Hey, how do I think you are a little out of shape?" ”
Ji Haihong, who lowered his head, was finally reluctant to raise his head: "Almost, it's a little out of state." ”
"What, Conan-kun, do you know? Ji Haihong and Wai Sauce raced, but he lost! Long live Hahaha-la-chan! Ayumi walked from behind Ji Haihong to Conan, preaching the glorious deeds of Gray Plains.
"I see...... No way? Conan still couldn't believe it, because racing should be Ji Haihong's strong point, how could he lose to Gray Yuan?
Facing Conan's puzzled eyes, Ji Haihong waved his hand: "Don't mention it, it's careless to lose Jingzhou." ”
"You're not going to bet anything, are you?"
"How do you know?" Ji Haihong's eyes widened in surprise.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be so depressed, what are you betting?"
"Ask those bear kids!"
……
After the activities in the morning, everyone was a little tired in the afternoon. After lunch, Haruko Okazaki took Xiaolan and the others back to their room to rest - but it is estimated that the children will definitely not be able to sleep for a while when they see such a luxurious suite.
The others got together to talk about interesting things, and when Haruko Okazaki returned, she brought the guests into their own rooms.
"Haruko, you can also go and rest, I have something to discuss with Brother Maori." Shiro Suzuki said.
Haruko Okazaki bowed and retreated, and Shiro Suzuki and Kogoro Mori came to the presidential suite specially prepared for him.
"Brother Maori, here's a gift I have for you," Shiro Suzuki walked over to his desk and pressed a very hidden button.
The desk, which had been flat, suddenly recessed, and several instruments with a strong sci-fi atmosphere floated onto the table.
"Brother Suzuki, what is this?" Mori Kogoro was frightened by the scenes that only appeared in this kind of movie.
"This is a monitor, I secretly installed a miniature camera in the hallway of the office, and there are also periphery, and these things have night vision, here's the manual, you can see for yourself."
Kogoro Mori picked up the manual and flipped through it.
"Okay, this is the exclusive suite of the Maori brother, without my and your orders, the servants will not come in, Maori brother, you can rest first, I hope there will be something to gain tonight."
Xiaolan and the children were resting on the bed, and Gray Yuan was sitting on the sofa leisurely holding a fashion magazine, holding a glass of crushed ice orange juice decorated with a small umbrella in hand. Conan sneaked out the door while Ran was asleep, and Gray Yuan looked at him contemptuously.
"Hey, what's that look at you?"
"Didn't you notice that there's one less person here?"
Conan looked left and right in surprise: "Huh? Where did Ji Haihong go? ”
"Stupid." After Gray Plains' taunt, he didn't pay attention to Conan anymore.
Conan was used to the taunts, and he crept out of the room. At this time the villa was very quiet, except for the security guards on the perimeter, everyone else was basically resting.
Without time to think about what Kikai was doing, Conan, who was trying to find more clues, came to Mori Kogoro's room and found that he was not there.
Not here? Could it be that Uncle Maori is discussing something with Shiro Suzuki?
Thinking of this, Conan was about to go to Shiro Suzuki's office or bedroom to look for it, but as soon as he walked around a corner, he saw Ji Haihong, who was holding something similar to a map, looking left and right and looking at Ji Haihong, who was not hidden at all.
This situation Conan has seen a lot, when he was still Kudo Shinichi in the past, he often saw thieves who broke into the empty door, and some of the bold thieves were similar to Ji Haihong's current appearance, they were all swaggering, and it was very problematic at first glance.
"Where did you get the map?" Conan suddenly discovers that Ji Haihong has a new skill, that is, as long as he is in an inhabited place, he can always make a map of the local area.
Ji Haihong said: "I borrowed it from the mountain village, and I said I was afraid of getting lost, and then he gave me this." ”
This defense is a little too weak, right......
"Are you looking for Uncle Maori? Come with me. ”
……
Conan's actions were actually smooth sailing, which surprised Ji Haihong. According to his thoughts, Uncle Maori should let Conan "play on the side", but he didn't expect that Uncle Maori didn't seem to care about Conan's "troublemaking" at all.
Uncle Maori didn't seem to have time to bother Conan.
It's really strange that Conan wasn't thrown out of the room this time, is that really good?
"Uncle, what are you going to do now?" Conan asked.
"What else can I do?" Uncle Maori sat on the sofa very casually, and took out a can of beer from the ice bucket next to him, "Of course, wait for the fish to be hooked, you and Xiaolan don't run around at night, just leave this kind of thing to my detective Maori Kogoro." ”
"But in case ......"
"Do you doubt the authority of my Mori Kogoro? Well? I'm telling you all this to satisfy your child's curiosity and save me a lot of trouble! The stakes are high this time, and I won't let you laymen interfere with my plans! ”
Conan pouted, "Aren't your so-called plans those cameras installed by Uncle Suzuki?" ”
Maori Kogoro rolled off the sofa in shock: "How do you know! ”
"Obviously, anyone can guess that Uncle can be so sure, and combined with what Uncle said before, such as 'hooked'." Conan said that the uncle was really weak.
At this time, the investigation of Ji Haihong's villa building was nearing completion, and if that spy didn't follow the usual path, he would be sure to wait for the rabbit.
Time flies quickly, the afternoon is free time, there is no fixed plan, and all guests can choose their own entertainment. The children's first choice is, of course, golf, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi also choose so. Since Xiaolan chose this way, Conan naturally chose this, but Gray Yuan didn't have much interest in golf, she would rather go to the library to read books.
The size of the library is not very large, and its highlight is not only in the history and variety of books, but also on the floor.
I don't know what Shiro Suzuki thinks about the library's exclusive floor made of 24-karat gold, but is he trying to express the idea of "having his own golden house in the book"?
Under the guidance of the servant, Gray Yuan went to the library, only to find that Ji Haihong was already here.
No wonder I haven't seen him just now, did he come here a long time ago?
……
When it was time for dinner, the children, who had a lot of fun, honestly tasted the food on the plate. Mori Kogoro was also tasting the same wine in the glass. Conan silently observed the demeanor of all the suspects, and Ji Haihong, who knew it, was very interested in asking the maid about the food.
As the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation, Shiro Suzuki has long been able to practice his skills quietly.
It's a normal dinner, but tonight is destined to be an unusual night.
Whose fate will be changed?
