Chapter 481: Peers Are Enemies
Since Jiang Sheng has already mingled with the children of the Junior Detective Group, Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan naturally know Jiang Sheng. However, because his peers are enemies, Maori Kogoro is very uninterested in Jiang Sheng, the 'black cat detective' who suddenly appeared.
"Click......"
A burst of photographic sounds suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention, and a man in a black coat was seen taking pictures of the mansion.
After Conan saw the appearance of the person taking the photo, his little face was full of surprise and said, "Huh? Isn't that person the photographer Masanori Katagiri? ”
"Masanori Katagiri? Could it be the same photographer who has been photographing the beautiful landscapes of various countries for many years? Moriran heard Conan's words and said with some uncertainty.
Masaki Katagiri was slightly stunned when he saw Jiang Sheng and Maori Kogoro, and then exclaimed with a look of surprise: "Could it be that you two are the sleeping Kogoro and the black cat detective?" ”
"Hahaha...... Yes, the contemptible person is Maori Kogoro. Hearing this, Maori Kogoro straightened his clothes and replied first.
Jiang Sheng bowed slightly: "Hello, I'm Jiang Sheng." ”
Masaki Katagiri was a little excited: "Great, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet two detectives at the same time today, can I take a group photo of you?" ”
"I don't have an opinion, but I don't know if Mr. Maori will have a problem?" Jiang Sheng glanced at Maori Kogoro, whose face changed slightly, and said indifferently.
"When...... Of course, no problem. ”
When Maori Kogoro heard Jiang Sheng's words, he glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, but he still made a generous expression on the surface and smiled.
"Come closer, yes, that's it!"
After Masaki Katagiri helped Jiang Sheng and them take a group photo, the smile on Mori Kogoro's face instantly retracted, and he found an excuse to greet the other guests.
Jiang Sheng didn't care about Maori Kogoro's attitude, just like a giant dragon wouldn't waste time caring about an ant's attitude. What's more, the reason why Mori Kogoro is so hostile to him is not without reason.
Because Jiang Sheng has solved several murder cases in a row during this time, his reputation has increased rapidly, and because he also lives in Rice Flower Town, people will naturally compare him with the veteran detective Kogoro Maori.
And most of the people are Yan Control Party, in front of Jiang Sheng, a handsome detective who is young and rich, Maori Kogoro, the uncle's version of the detective, is naturally defeated.
The most important thing is that even Yoko Okino once said on the TV show that she prefers Jiang Sheng, the black cat detective, so Maori Kogoro has been full of hostility towards him since then and has always wanted to defeat him in solving the case.
……
While Jiang Sheng and Conan were chatting, the rest of the guests also arrived one after another, and the first to come over was a middle-aged man with a sturdy body.
When Mori Kogoro saw the visitor, he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Isn't that a home run Wang Matsuhei player?" ”
You must know that baseball is very popular in Japan, and baseball players like Matsudaira Mamoru who is known as the 'home run king' are no less famous than those famous basketball players.
Mao Lilan didn't have much interest in baseball, her eyes fell on a woman in a trench coat who arrived behind, and said with a look of surprise: "Is that Miss Haruka Nagara?" ”
"There's no mistake, she's a very popular tarot soothsayer in magazines and on TV, and every time I play baseball, I wear different colored gloves according to her divination!"
Compared with Mao Lilan, who was surprised, Matsudaira Mamoru on the other side was even more excited, as if he had seen his idol's little fan brother.
“……”
Jiang Sheng and Conan saw Matsudaira Mamoru like this, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly at the same time. After all, a sturdy man like Matsudaira Mamoru showed the expression of a little fan brother, and it really felt like it was out of harmony!
Nagara Haruka didn't pay attention to Mao Lilan's conversation, but frowned slightly, and looked around with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but be curious: "Miss Nagara, have you noticed something?" ”
Hearing this, Haruka Nagara took out a tarot card and said, "This house gives me a very ominous feeling, I feel that there will be a great catastrophe about to happen. ”
Jiang Sheng heard Chang Liangyao's words, and a faint hint of playfulness flashed in his sword eyes.
In Jiang Sheng's perception, he found that Chang Liangyao's soul power was indeed much higher than that of ordinary people. Although it is impossible for her to awaken too strong supernatural power due to the limitations of the world level, this soul power can make it easier for her to perceive the existence of danger, so as to subconsciously avoid danger.
It's like someone walking on the road who suddenly takes a step back inexplicably, only to dodge a speeding car, and they don't know why they suddenly take a step back?
When Maori Kogoro heard Nagara Haruka's words, he said helplessly: "This is inevitably too bad, right?" ”
Although Mori Kogoro doesn't believe in tarot divination, it is inevitable that it will be strange to hear someone say that a catastrophe will happen here.
"Squeak ......"
There was a sudden sound of the door opening, and the door on the left hand side of the mansion slowly opened, and then a short-haired maid dressed in a maid costume walked out, smiling and saying, "I have kept you waiting for a long time." ”
Before Jiang Sheng and the others could enter the door, the door on the right-hand side of the side also opened, and a maid who looked almost exactly like the short-haired maid also walked out, showing a gentle smile and said, "Welcome to come." ”
Although the appearance of the two maids surprised everyone, everyone quickly understood that the pair of beautiful maids in front of them should be a pair of twin sisters.
"Mr. Jiang Sheng, Mr. Maori and your companions, please enter the house and rest through the entrance on the east side." The short-haired maid on the left hand side was the first to speak.
"Mr. Katagiri, Mr. Matsudaira, and Ms. Nagara, please enter the house and rest through the entrance on the west side." The short-haired maid on the right side followed closely.
When Mori Kogoro heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why did we go in separately from both sides?" ”
When the maid on the left hand side heard this, she smiled and replied: "Because the interior of this mansion is divided into two parts, east and west, all guests arranged by the master in the west wing must enter the room through the west entrance, and guests arranged by the master in the east wing must enter the room through the east entrance, which is the custom of this mansion." ”
