Chapter 49: The Love of Faith (1)
Six hours ago, 4-chome 27-halley, Rice Flower Town.
In the building of a 4-chome townhouse in Rice Flower Town, there is a family with flowers and plants that are particularly delicately cared for, with lush branches and leaves, and distinct layers, revealing the elegance and leisure of the owner's life everywhere.
A blue-gray Bentley slowly drove up and stopped outside the iron railing, and Mori Kogoro slowly stepped out of the driver's seat, straightened the black tie around his neck, and looked impatient.
"Really, why did I bring the imps here on such a holiday?" He turned back to the back door and shouted with a stinky face, "Listen up, little ghosts, it was Yingli who said that Mr. Kawano wanted to see you, so I brought you, don't make trouble for me for a while!" β
The back door of the car opened, and two children, a man and a woman, walked down, and Maori Kogoro glared at the boys angrily: "Especially you, stinky boy, give me a quiet moment." β
"Got it, uncle-you'll be late if you don't go over, Aunt Yingli has been waiting for you for a long time." Shinichi Kudo, who was only ten years old, was wearing a small light blue shirt with a small red bow tie on the neckline, and looked at Maori Kogoro with half moon eyes when he heard this.
"That's how Uncle will make Aunt Yingli angry." The stinking little detective grinned.
"Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, that's because she doesn't know good people." Mori Kogoro slammed his fist on the new one, and turned his head as if he remembered something.
"Ahh Mao Lilan's angry voice sounded, and the little girl who had begun to learn to be the master of the house at a young age had an extraordinary momentum, with a bun face puffed out at her waist, and her round eyes glared at her unreliable father.
Mori Kogoro was seen as a weak step back.
"Anyway! Mom finally saw you, Dad, you have to behave well and let Mom come back early! The little girl crossed her waist and taught her father a lesson.
"W-what......" Mori Kogoro blushed and scratched his head, "If Eiri is soft...... It's not like I can't ......."
The middle-aged uncle's muttering voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was inaudible, and the carved door made of fine iron slowly opened, and Concubine Yingli appeared in front of the three of them wearing high heels.
The elite lawyer, who has already made his mark in court, wears a goose-yellow suit with a thin overalls skirt, her ochre-colored hair is meticulously coiled behind her head, and her makeup is more delicate than usual.
Hey, it's pretty good-looking, Mori Kogoro glanced at it and looked away.
Fei Yingli raised her eyebrows and smiled at her lovely daughter, and then looked at Maori Kogoro with her arms around without realizing it: "I said I was going to arrive before ten o'clock, why did you come now." β
"This ...... Isn't it a traffic jam on the road that takes a while. "Maori Kogoro looks at the sky and the earth, but he doesn't look at Yingli.
It's just that I delayed for a while when choosing the clothes to go out today, after all, Mr. Kawano, who will be seen in a while, is also a leading figure in the legal field, and he always has to be dressed solemnly - but if Yingli knows, she will definitely think that she is dressed up to see her.
Mori Kogoro blushed slightly, and looked away.
Concubine Yingli glanced at Maori Kogoro, and unnaturally skimmed his gaze slightly: "Anyway, Mr. Nobuyuki Kawano is my teacher, I was taken care of by him a lot, and this time he returned to China to see my family, so I brought you here." β
Nobuyuki Kawano, 61 years old, was once a real genius, and became famous more than 20 years ago, with a book under his name, but he has never married, and has lived abroad all the year round, and has only returned to China once every other time since 15 years ago.
She has always had a high respect for the teacher who once guided her.
"Also, Mr. Kawano heard that you are a detective, and it seems that he has something to ask you." Fei Yingli squinted at her husband, "Cheer me up, crappy detective." β
"Hush." Mori Kogoro made an indecipherable breath sound in his throat.
The four of them walked into the Kawano house.
β¦β¦
Mr. Kawano's mansion is just like his own, with solid wood furniture and Nanmu bookshelves all over the walls, which are dense with books of all colors, and the open floor-to-ceiling windows are flanked by warm yellow curtains, and the sunlight spills from the windows to the ground.
When the four of them walked into the living room, Nobuyuki Kawano was sitting upright in the main seat, this is an elite but godly elder, with gray hair and a few ravines on his face.
He himself is not serious, his temperament has the understanding of reading all the world, and he can always give people a sense of generosity and gentleness in his speech.
Nobuyuki Kawano saw the four of them come in and greeted with a kind smile, "It's been a long time, Eiri." β
"Hello teacher." Fei Yingli stepped forward, bowed to the teacher in a formal manner, and secretly slashed at Maori Kogoro with an eye knife, signaling him to hurry up and say hello.
The confused uncle, who has always been sloppy, had already stepped forward before receiving the signal, and Itachi bowed respectfully: "Contemptible Maori Kogoro, thank you for your care of Yingli before." β
"Hello Mr. Kawano, I'm Moriran." The little girl obediently stepped forward to introduce herself, and her clear and bright eyes met Mr. Kamikawano's gaze.
"My name is Shinichi Kudo, and I'm a disciple of Sherlock Holmes!" The little boy looked up at the elderly, his eyes were full of energy, and he had a stinky fart feeling characteristic of Secondary 2.
"Hahaha, not badβ" Nobuyuki Kawano's eyes could only distinguish between the two children now, but it didn't prevent him from wandering among the two children, looking at them with satisfaction.
"Yingli," the elder's mellow voice quipped, "I asked you to bring your family to meet, and you have even found a son-in-law?" β
"Daughter-in-law, son-in-law or something?!" Moriran and Kudo Shinichi's faces turned red.
The little detective quietly glanced at his Qingmei and looked away in a panic.
"This kid is Xiaolan's classmate, and his parents have been away for the past two days, just asking us to take care of it." Maori Kogoro was afraid of Mr. Kawano's presence, so he didn't directly give the stinky boy an iron fist, and flew over with an eye knife before he stepped forward to explain.
"Haha-young man-ahem." Mr. Kawano smiled and sighed, and couldn't help but cough.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Fei Yingli looked concerned.
Mr. Kawano has always had an old illness, and this time he seems to have lost a lot of weight than the last time.
"Old bones, useless, the doctor said that there is about half a year left."
Kawano Nobuyuki is open-minded, and his eyebrows are so bright that he is not half depressed.
"Whatββ?!" Fei Yingli's eyes widened.
"Life and death, it's not a big deal," Nobuyuki Kawano shook his head with a smile, "I am also happy to see you young people reunited with their families." β
"By the way, I heard that your husband is a detective?" Nobuyuki Kawano's gentle gaze fell on Kogoro Mori, "Coincidentally, I want to ask you to help me find someone." β
