09/21, Kim Yao Day, 14:55 p.m.

After successfully parking the car in a nearby open-air parking lot, Ritsu Sasashima and Shinichi Kudo made their way to Teiji Moriya's residence. Building a large mansion in such a remote place is also considered a personal preference of the architect. You know, what allows designers to give full play to their talents, the larger the area, the better.

The light blue little dress, the hairstyle is still specially re-permed, and even the navy blue Fusa-painted small satchel on the waist can be seen to be reluctant to carry it on weekdays.

Mao Lilan immediately smiled when she saw the two of them, she politely bowed slightly to Kitazawa Chong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Onizawa, we meet again." ”

"Well, Miss Mori is dressed beautifully today, isn't she Kudo?" Ritsu Sasashima deliberately threw the words to Kudo, and it was rare that he was in a good mood and wanted to assist the little couple, but it was a pity that someone's mouth was the same as his, and he couldn't say anything good at all.

"Isn't it the same as what you wear on weekdays? Really, is it necessary to go home and change clothes just for an afternoon tea party? Kudo Shinichi pursed his lips and said dissatisfied.

If you don't change your clothes, you can also dress as a couple in school uniforms. However, this kind of careful thinking that ordinary people can't understand, and no one knows if you don't say it.

"Huh?! What does it mean to dress about the same on weekdays? I'm—"

"Miss Maori, if we don't go in, we'll step on it, it will be rude." Ritsu Sasashima interrupted in time, he didn't want to get involved in the erotic quarrel between the young couple.

Mao Lilan didn't speak after glaring at Kudo, and angrily bypassed her childhood sweetheart, choosing to stand by the side of Onizawa Chong, she didn't want to talk to Shinichi today.

Kudo Shinichi saw Xiaolan running to the right hand side of Mr. Onizawa, but he didn't stand with him, and he also sulked inexplicably, and the two of them threw their heads to the side, leaving the person standing in the middle embarrassed.

Ritsu Sasashima couldn't help but roll her eyes, what does it matter to me that you little couple quarrel, I am standing in the middle like a kilowatt light bulb, do you have to conjure up a red thread to tie the two of you together to let me go!

Forget it, he is an adult and doesn't care about minors, this may be the daily life of young couples.

However, just after Kudo Shinichi handed the invitation to the security guard in dark red uniform at the door, the heavy iron door slowly opened, and only then did he see the bustling scene inside.

The British-style three-story mansion has an imposing feel to it, and it's also a favorite building for lovers of obsessive-compulsive disorder and symmetry. The courtyard is kept clean, and even the gardening is symmetrical, including the pruning style.

There is also a fountain in the vestibule, and the fountain pool made of pure gold can also show that the owner of the mansion is willing to invest in the residence, and he can also see his pride.

"Wow! It's so big, so beautiful! ”

Hearing Xiaolan's emotion, Sashima Ritsu nodded and said: "Yes, it really deserves to be a building from the orthodox Stuart dynasty era in England in the seventeenth century, and this symmetrical design is also a characteristic of British architecture." ”

"Mr. Onizawa, do you actually have a good study of architecture?"

"No, because I'm going to come to Mr. Teiya's afternoon tea party, I investigated a little before I came, this may be the police's occupational disease, and I feel more confident to have more clues." Ritsu Sasashima pushed his glasses and explained.

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Kudo Shinichi put his hands in his pockets and stood directly between the two, raised his chin and said, "Speaking of Teiji Moriya, you can deduce his yearning for English-style architecture from his name!" ”

"Name? Is there anything special about the name? Mao Lilan, who had already lost his breath, tilted his head and wondered.

"Isn't the name Teiji Moriya symmetrical?"

"Emperor Moriya... Really, it's really symmetrical! ”

Ritsu Sasashima couldn't help adding: "His real name is Sadaharu Moritani, and most likely he felt that the last two words did not conform to the symmetrical structure of the left and right, so he replaced it with Emperor Moriya." ”

"It's really sick enough," Kudo Shinichi muttered quietly, like the kind of person who is sick to the point of cleanliness, feeling that contact with people is to defile his body, resulting in carrying disinfectant with him.

"Shinichi, it's rude for you to say that, Mr. Moriya, but... This vestibule is really beautiful, I have only seen such a beautiful building in movies before. ”

"It's an honor to be complimented by you."

Ritsu Sasashima had already noticed Teiji Moriya walking this way, he was dressed in his favorite green suit, with a high hairline and short coffee-colored hair, and two mustaches upturned at the ends, which looked a little funny.

It's as if he doesn't smile, and he can sense from the mustache that he's in a good mood.

"It's the first time you've met, I'm Teiji Moriya."

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi also restrained the extra little expression on his face, bowed politely, and said, "Hello Mr. Moriya, I'm Kudo Shinichi, these two are my friends, Moriran and Akami Izawa, I'm honored to receive your invitation." ”

"Takashi Akazuma... Well? Is it the famous criminal police officer? Teiji Moriya said in surprise.

Is he so famous?

Ritsu Sasashima took the initiative to step forward and smiled: "Hello Mr. Moriya, I am also the light of Kudo, so I can come to the afternoon tea held by you, please give me more advice." ”

"Hahahaha, Mr. Onizawa said with a smile, it's also my honor to have you. Afternoon tea will start soon, so please follow me to the backyard. ”

Following in the footsteps of Teiji Moriya, everyone walked through the middle corridor and came to the backyard of the mansion.

On a long table covered with red tablecloths, a variety of delicately shaped pastries are placed, celebrities in formal clothes hold black tea cups and whisper to each other, and melodious soft music is played on the stereo placed on the lawn not far away.

It is really worthy of the afternoon tea party held by a famous architectural designer, who is either a musician or a well-known model, or a big entrepreneur and critic, full of money.

From time to time, the corner of his eye fell on Teiji Moriya, and Ritsu Sasashima deliberately staggered his position to facilitate observation, which also allowed him to successfully capture some subtle things.

It's like... Teiji Moriya seems to care about Kudo Shinichi very much, and his eyes always wander around Kudo's body. Combined with the invitation he sent, is there a connection between the two of them?

But in the previous investigation, I didn't see any intersection between the two.

"Come, you're welcome, you can spend the afternoon here."

Mao Lilan approached the long table with her hands behind her back, and she was good at cooking, and she could see that the pastries on the table were all handmade, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Moriya, are these beautiful pastries all handmade?" ”

"Of course, the formal afternoon tea party will of course serve the guests with hand-made snacks. You're welcome to enjoy it. Teiji Moriya had a happy look on his face, he clearly enjoyed the compliments that others had given him.

"Then you're welcome."

Seeing Mao Lilan pick up the biscuits and taste them, Teiji Moriya stepped forward and asked, "How does it taste?" Is it to your liking? ”

"These macaroons are delicious."

"If you like it, then I'll pay the price for the effort I spent on it last night."

The surrounding guests also started talking after hearing this, and Ritsu Sasashima didn't have much interest in sweets, he pinched a chocolate chip cookie that didn't look sweet, and the crispy texture was indeed good, and the taste was not worse than that sold in the bakery.

It is okay to invite Kudo or make sweets with your heart. Ritsu Sasashima still can't figure out what Teiji Moriya is for, what exactly is he going to do with the purchased explosives?

However, at this moment, Teiji Moriya turned his gaze to Kudo Shinichi and smiled: "By the way, Mr. Kudo, I want to ask you a question, is it okay?" ”

"Huh? Of course. ”

"yes, recently I'm going to help a company run by three people to deduce an Internet password, you're a high school detective, you should be able to solve it soon, right?"

Enmity.

Ritsu Sasashima keenly sensed Teiji Moriya's hostility towards Kudo, what's going on? Did something happen between the two of them that they couldn't investigate?

"Reasoning? Absolutely, you name it. ”

Teiji Moriya took out a piece of paper and handed it to Kudo, then distributed the rest to the guests, and finally came to Takashi Onizawa and smiled, "Mr. Onizawa, I think you, as a police officer, should be able to answer it quickly." ”

"I'll try."

Not knowing what this person was trying to do, Ritsu Sasashima still smiled, and within a minute of taking the paper, he came up with the answer.

He didn't rush to say the answer, because Sasakima Ritsu knew very well that although Moriya gave the question to everyone present, he was only targeting Kudo Shinichi.
