Chapter 374: The Old Drunkard and the Chocolate Monster
In the Chenghu Detective Agency, Gao Cheng fell asleep on his desk, surrounded by messy books.
"Sleeping here again......"
Xiao Ai walked into the office with a feather duster, and when she saw Gao Cheng's sloppy appearance, her face suddenly collapsed, and she sighed helplessly.
It's been a few days since I've been back to Tokyo from Osaka, and it's been like this for several days in a row.
"Huh?" Gao Cheng raised his head when he heard the movement, and rubbed his eyes, "It's Xiao Ai......"
Gray Yuan walked to the desk and picked up the scattered books, and found that they were all mystery books: "It's different from yesterday's...... Where did these books come from? β
"Kudo's family."
Gao Cheng yawned and took a haiku book next to him.
"Dr. Asa said that Kudo's dad only became a world-class mystery writer after reading those books, and I think it should be useful for detectives......"
"Where's this one?" Ashbara looked at the haiku in Gao Cheng's hand.
"It's also theirs, so I just saw it and took it to see, and a client invited me to some haiku party next month...... Ah, it's all this time, and Miss Yoko's morning show is over! β
Gao Cheng saw the time clearly, woke up in an instant and turned on the TV, and sure enough, it was already the end of the show, and only advertising time remained.
Gray Yuan collapsed his eyelids and sat down on the couch silently holding a large stack of letters taken out of the mailbox outside.
The Kudo family's collection of books comparable to a small library, she was very skeptical that Gao Cheng would be able to read them in his life......
"There are also a lot of letters today, reminders for utility bills, and an invitation to a TV program......"
"It must be some kind of boring show, if it's not a daily TV station, just push it off," Gao Cheng pistled his chin and continued to look through the haiku primer, "I really don't understand, isn't there a fan letter?" β
"It seems that there is a letter written by a new name, Kaobaori......"
"Miss Champoli?" Gao Cheng made a move.
"It seems that you are invited to an event, and I heard that the actor of Detective Left will also participate," Gray Hara said as he flipped through the letter, "There is also an invitation from the Shogakukan in the back." β
"It's an event in the Shogakukan again, isn't it Miss Kaohori's new work?"
"Didn't it say above, are you going?"
"Uh......"
β¦β¦
On the weekend, Gao Cheng took Xiao Wai to the Rice Flower Hotel to participate in the banquet of the primary school hall.
There weren't too many invited guests, except for the new name Kaori, the left-writing actor Osamu Kenzaki, and the editorial staff, there were only some industry partners, and most of the rest were reporters.
In the corner of the banquet, because the new name Kaopoli was unwell and left the table halfway, Kenzaki Shu and Gao Cheng, who had met last time, chatted happily: "Actually, this party is not because of Mr. Kaobaori's new work, it's just equivalent to a celebration, thanks to the relationship between the Seonto detectives, the detective left text series has been very popular recently. β
"It doesn't have much to do with me." Gao Cheng smiled dryly and chatted awkwardly with Kenzaki Xiu.
"By the way," Kenzaki Shu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "I have a party with my friends tomorrow, will Detective Joto be available?" β
"Me?" Gao Cheng was stunned, "Is it appropriate for me to go?" β
Kenzaki Xiu said happily: "What's inappropriate?" If Detective Joto is willing to go, everyone will be happy! And Yoko will also go to ......"
"Yoko-sama?" Gao Cheng's eyebrows jumped, "Can I take Xiao Ai with me?" β
"Of course you can, it's also lively when it's crowded." Kenzaki Shu grabbed the back of his head and smiled, only when he saw Gray Yuan's appearance that he was not close to the living, he felt a little weak in his heart.
The children around the detective are normal to be strange......
Heard or assistant?
"Detective Joto!" After the editor-in-chief of the Elementary School Hall finished the entertainment, he walked towards Gao Cheng and Kenzaki Shu for the first time, "Are you interested in submitting a manuscript?" β
"This," Gao Cheng was a little moved, and quickly shook his head and refused when he thought of his writing, "I don't have any talent for writing, at most I can solve the case." β
"Detective Joto is too modest."
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening after the banquet, and Osamu Kenzaki volunteered to drive Gao Cheng and Gray Yuan back to the office, and did not forget to remind him of the private party when he left.
"Detective Joto, that's it!"
"We'll go."
Gao Cheng stood downstairs in the office and waved his hand, sighing: "It's completely different from the left text on TV, Mr. Kenzaki is very cheerful and lively, and he looks very young." β
"It is," said Gray Principle, "and it doesn't have to be performed in its true colors...... Are you really going to a private party though? β
"Don't worry, in fact, as long as you don't run into uncles and them, it's not a big problem," Gao Cheng went upstairs and said, "If you have to worry about accidents every time, then I can't do anything, right?" Even if there is anything, it will happen if you stay at home. β
"I'm not worried," Gray Plains walked calmly ahead, "as long as you're not afraid of being called a plague god......
Gao Cheng paused and hesitated: "Then do you want to call the uncle?" With Miss Yoko here, he should be happy to ......."
β¦β¦
In the evening of the next day, in the parking lot in front of a high-end apartment building, Gao Cheng and Gray Yuan got out of the car with Kenzaki Shu, and happened to see Uncle Maori and his party.
"Oops! It's my pleasure, Yoko-san! Uncle Maori smiled and met Yoko Okino, "You even invited me to your friend's engagement party!" β
"You're so polite, because my friend said he wanted to see the Maori detective anyway...... You must be surprised to make such an unreasonable invitation all of a sudden, right? β
"How so? Nothing like that! β
"Engagement party?" Gao Cheng looked at Yoko Okino with a pair of eyes, and turned to Kenzaki Shu in surprise, "Isn't it a private party?" β
"It's a long story," Osamu Kenzaki smiled awkwardly, "It's an engagement party for the time being, but it's ......"
"Kenzaki? Castle Detective? Yoko Okino looked at Gao Cheng in surprise, "Detective Joto is here too?" β
"Because we happened to participate in the activities of the university hall together," Kenzaki Shu took off his sunglasses a little and looked at Uncle Maori, "I didn't expect you to really bring Detective Mori Kogoro, and now the two detectives are together." β
Gao Cheng looked at Conan, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
I still want to call my uncle over, but I just think too much......
"Ahh Uncle Maori didn't care about Gao Cheng, and looked at Kenzaki Shu with wide eyes, "Aren't you the Kenzaki Shu who plays the detective Zuo Wen?" β
"Shhhh Kenzaki Shu put on his sunglasses again, carefully avoiding passers-by who looked around, "Actually, it's nothing, Detective Joto is a realistic left-word detective." β
The uncle snorted at Gao Cheng unhappily: "How can I meet you everywhere?" β
Gao Cheng also made a straight face: "I just wanted to say it." β
"Don't you think about beating Miss Yoko!"
"You're the one who makes the decision, right? Old drunkard! β
"Chocolate Monster! Are you embarrassed to say me? β
"That," Yoko Okino smiled awkwardly, "I think we'd better go up first, everyone must be waiting for us......"
Xiaolan was curious: "Is Miss Yoko's good friend who is engaged this time Mr. Kenzaki?" β
"No," Kenzaki said with a smile, "Yoko's best friend is my fiancΓ©e, and this is her apartment...... She will be very happy to have two detectives come this time. β
Yoko Okino said embarrassedly: "Actually, I haven't told her about the Maori detective yet, because I want to surprise her." β
Gao Cheng and Gray Yuan glanced at each other and walked behind silently.
Would you be happy to meet the detective?
Uncle Maori looks like this, just don't be scared......
