Chapter 37: Detonating the Skyscraper (1)
On a sunny morning, a gentle breeze blows through Rice Flower Town, bringing a refreshing breeze to people. The lazy sunlight shining on the rooftops reminds me of lavender-covered flower fields.
Asasa House.
Mr. Yusaku Kudo personally enlightened...... Mr. Yusaku Kudo personally opened ...... "In front of a coffee table full of envelopes, Conan, who was sitting on the sofa, was boredly unopening and looking at the letters in his hand, "All of them are letters to my father, probably sent by his detective fans, right?" He threw the letter into a large cardboard box at his feet, raised his head, and shouted dissatisfiedly to the shallow feather who was dozing off in the sofa opposite him, and the whole person was curled up in a ball on the sofa: "Hey, I said, can you help too!" β
"That's a letter to your dad, why should I help you clean it up?" Asa Ha rubbed his eyes, unhappy that Conan had disturbed his sleep.
"I heard that your father's recent Duke of the Night series of novels has made it to the bestseller list in the United States!" The doctor, who was wearing a strange pair of large glasses, turned his head and said.
Asa Feather frowned at the electric workbench, feeling as if it was about to explode.
"yes!" Conan pulled his head out of a pile of letters, "But others are in Switzerland, and they often run around, and the damn thing is," Conan grinded his teeth, "I'm going to find a way to send him this pile of letters!" β
"Be content." Asa Yu said faintly.
"Uh......" The doctor was stunned for a moment, and decided to change the subject, "Didn't he also let you go and do your own thing, so you should do something for him!" β
"......" Conan and Asa Yu both looked at the doctor helplessly.
Doctor, has anyone told you that you have a terrible knack for changing the subject? Conan thought speechlessly. "By the way," he said, looking at the blue-flashing workbench, "what are you doing to give me an invention?" β
"Unfortunately, it's not that kind of gadget." At the mention of the invention, the doctor immediately came to his senses, "Humans have invented airplanes by studying birds that soar in the sky, but no one has yet studied the scientific principle of insects flapping their wings, if I can be the first to study it and sell it as a toy, I will definitely become a monopoly!" β
"......" Conan looked at the mechanical mantis-like thing on the workbench speechlessly, and couldn't help but complain: "When will your dream come true!" I've been tired of hearing it since I was a child......"
"Nine times out of ten, what kind of black technology is it?" Asa Yu said with a mending knife.
"But then again......" Conan looked at the pile of letters on the table, "there are so many letters, and none of them are addressed to me, I have probably been forgotten by this world, right?" After saying that, he sighed exaggeratedly.
"Actually, I didn't remember it at all, did I?" Asa Yu picked up the coffee cup in his hand and took a sip and said mockingly.
β...... How lazy are you? Conan looked at Asaka Yu, who didn't even bother to drink, and said angrily.
Asa Yu ignored him at all, and still lay on the sofa leisurely.
β...... Ay? Conan lowered his head and was stunned when he saw the next letter in his hand, "This is?" Is it for me? β
"Kudo Shinichi personally opened ......" Conan looked at the thing in his hand suspiciously, "Is there really one?" Hey, there's one more. β
"Charlotte Miyamoto personally opened. Teji Moriya. I don't know when, Asa Yu sat up, holding a letter in the same envelope in his hand.
The two looked at each other, and Conan opened the envelope first.
"I took the liberty of writing to you suddenly, to be honest, I have already learned about your performance as a high school student detective on TV and in the newspapers, and I have always wanted to meet and talk to you. I will be hosting a garden tea party at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29 at the Humble House, and I hope to stop by and give advice. After reading it, Conan looked at the letter in Asa Yu's hand.
Asa shrugged, opened the envelope, and took Conan's share with him.
"I take the liberty of writing to you suddenly, to be honest, I have heard of your name, and I have always wanted to meet and talk to you. I will be hosting a garden tea party at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29 at the Humble House, and I hope to stop by and give advice. After reading it word by word, Qian Yu was stunned to find that the two letters were almost identical except for a few words.
"This ......" Conan looked at the shallow feather with the same expression on his face with a smile, "I guess this person is too lazy to think of new words, and the sentence that was changed is probably because you don't get into the newspaper?" β
"Emperor Moriya ......," Asaka Yu groaned, "Is that Emperor Moriya?" At the same time, some dusty memories in my mind seemed to be slowly waking up.
"It's ...... Detonating a skyscraper? Asa Yu muttered.
"What?" Conan's voice suddenly came, making him come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but smile, what do you remember after so long? However, it seems that Conan is in trouble with Xiaolan this time?
Shaking his head and clearing out these chaotic thoughts, Asaba asked the doctor on the side: "Doctor, is this Emperor Moriya the famous architect?" β
"That's right!" The doctor took off his funny glasses, "I'm a professor at the Department of Architecture at Toto Capital University, and I'm one of Japan's leading architects. β
"How could such a famous architect invite us?" Conan asked.
"Well." The doctor touched his chin, "Architects are also artists, maybe he needs some special stimulation, right?" In the same way, he is a genius like me! Hahahaha! The doctor laughed as he spoke.
β...... Genius type? Asa Yu touched his forehead with a headache, watching the mechanical mantis that the doctor had been busy with all morning "click" into a pile of scrap metal.
......
At night. MΔori Detective Agency.
"Garden tea party?" On the other end of the phone, Xiaolan asked strangely.
"yes!" On the other end of the phone, Conan reluctantly said to Xiaolan with a bow tie, "I happen to have a case in my hand that I can't leave, so I ......"
"You want me to go for you?" Xiaolan asked.
"yes, the invitation says you can invite a friend along, you and your dad and the one who lives at your house... What's it called......" Conan looked entangled without knowing Conan, and the face of Asa Yu on the side was miserable.
"Conan." Xiaolan reminded.
"Yes, just the three of you. By the way," Conan hurriedly added, "Charlotte was also invited, and he couldn't go, so let the Doctor's house ...... Call...... Tell that kid from Asa to go. β
β......-_-|||β by Light Feather
"Oh, you said Xiao Feng!" Xiaolan nodded, "No problem, but, Shinichi ......."
"Uh......" Conan suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
"You finally called, it turned out to be for such a thing!" On the other end of the phone, Xiao Lan, who pretended to be angry, said angrily, and then smiled playfully, "Yes, but you have to promise me one condition." β
"Conditions?" The sense of foreboding increases.
"I want you to promise me to come with me to the midnight movie next weekend."
"Hey??" Hearing this, Conan was instantly stunned, and the light feather on the side hugged his stomach and let out a silent burst of laughter.
"......" Conan glared at him fiercely, and punched Asa Ha in the stomach, causing the latter to crouch down weakly, but still laughing.
"What's the matter... We haven't seen each other in a long time. Meet at 10 p.m. in the lobby of Rice Flower Cinema City. Seeing that Shinichi had the intention of refusing, Xiaolan said angrily.
"That..... Lan, I don't have time this weekend...... Can you change the ......?"
"No! Be sure to meet on May 3rd. Xiaolan's tone changed: "Shinichi, which one do you prefer, red or blue?" β
β...... Why do you suddenly ask this? β
"Leave it alone, answer quickly!" Xiaolan's tone became urgent.
"Then ...... Red bar! Conan said helplessly.
"Red!" Xiaolan laughed happily, "Sure enough, it's red, I knew you would choose red!" β
A sucker. Conan had a smile on his face and thought to himself, because red is your favorite color.
"Hey! Is dinner ready? Conan could hear Kogoro's voice on the phone.
"Alright, that's it! Remember 10 p.m. on the 3rd! After Xiaolan finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
"Hey! Lan ......" Conan hurriedly shouted, but all that came was the sound of the phone.
"You're pretty good at coaxing girls!" The shallow feather on the side said lightly.
"What's the use of coaxing?" Conan smiled wryly and said, "If I can go to the movies with her, won't I go to the tea party by myself?" β
"That's right."
In the dim light, the shadows of the two children were stretched long, long......
