Chapter Twenty-Six: Another Murder
The group came to the house.
Maolilan exclaimed, "What a beautiful thatched house. ”
Bai Chuanxing agreed: "It's really beautiful, it feels like a fairy tale house, and I feel that there will be a beautiful and innocent Cinderella in a fairy tale inside, and I will come out." ”
"If the young master likes it, he can build one."
Nan Si unconditionally supported his young master, quietly observed the environment, and asked his subordinates to find a place when the time came.
As for Cinderella Liang, if the young master likes it, he can play it himself.
"Cinderella Liang, are you talking about me?"
An old, deep voice came from behind.
When they heard this, they turned around and saw an old woman with a face that could scare a crying child, standing behind her with a knife.
Fortunately, it wasn't completely dark yet, and all the adults present were mature adults, but they didn't make any unnecessary screams.
Nan Si stepped forward, stood in front of Bai Chuanxing, and asked politely, "Old lady, are you the owner of this house?" ”
Seeing that she didn't scare anyone, the old woman put away her deliberately made expression: "Yes, who are you?" ”
Nan Si half-bowed and saluted: "We are travelers who are about to go back to Tokyo, and we accidentally got lost, can you let us stay here for one night?" ”
Mao Lilan bowed a little nervously: "Sorry to disturb you." ”
The old woman glanced at the people present, probably thinking that they didn't look like some bad people, and put away her guard: "I don't have anything to entertain here, if you don't mind, come in with me." Seeing that the weather is about to rain, I'm afraid there is no one else in this area who can help you hide from the rain. ”
"That's so thankful."
Mori Kogoro skillfully thanked him, and it was obvious that after yesterday's overnight, the process had begun to become proficient.
When the people entered the house, there were two similar pairs of slippers at the door.
Conan asked curiously, "Is there anyone else living here besides my mother-in-law?" ”
The old woman put on one of the pairs, but she didn't reply, "No, it's just me." ”
Conan played with the detective's curiosity and questioned: "But there are two pairs of slippers at the door, which proves that there should be another person living here, right?" ”
The old woman glanced back at the slippers on the ground, and her emotions were quite complicated: "This is my grandson Xiangta's slippers, he ran away from home ten years ago when he clamored that he wanted to be a chef or something." I'm not too lazy to clean up, and if you want slippers, there's a whole bunch of them in the cupboard over there. ”
"Ah, thank you, mother-in-law."
Moriran bowed again and thanked him, then took out his slippers from the side and handed them to Conan.
Nan Si didn't go over, she opened the large satchel she was carrying, took out a pair of unopened slippers and put them at Shirakawa Xing's feet.
Conan Dead Fish Eyes: "Does Brother Shirakawa usually carry these things?" ”
Why didn't I find this little friend so delicate before?
Nan Si said as a matter of course: "The young master is weak and needs to be carefully maintained. As a housekeeper, of course I have to prepare these trivial things for the young master. ”
Bai Chuanxing's expression was a little helpless: "Actually, I'm not so squeamish, I went out to play with Shinichi before, and nothing happened." ”
Kudo Motodo nodded: "That is to say, people still need to exercise properly, right?" ”
Speaking of this, Nan Si was a little angry: "Young master, what else do you say." Although your mental state has improved a lot in those days, the body that has finally been cultivated has become messy again. If it weren't for Dr. Arai's discovery that you had escaped too many times and took the initiative to visit you, I am afraid that you would have to stay in the hospital now. ”
After speaking, he realized that he shouldn't complain to his young master, and half-squatted and saluted: "Young master, Nan Si has lost his temper, but no matter what, please take care of your body." ”
Bai Chuanxing changed his shoes and sighed: "Got it, Nansi, you get up first." ”
Conan next to him was stunned into a piece of wood, and he didn't know for a moment whether to blame himself for not realizing that Shirakawa Xing was hiding so many things before, or whether to complain that Shirakawa Xing's housekeeper was young and more stubborn than some old-fashioned.
Obviously, when I was with him before, Shirakawa Xing didn't have much of a problem except that he looked a little weaker.
Conan looked at Shirakawa in a complicated way, and when he saw Shirakawa Xing looking at the picture on the table, he also walked over.
The photo shows a group photo of an ordinary-looking teenager and an old woman, who looks very happy.
Conan asked curiously, "Huh?" Is this the grandson of the mother-in-law? ”
The old woman closed her eyes and said with a heavy heart: "Well, this inhuman boy hasn't even sent a letter back for ten years, and he has never come back to see me, presumably he has become a great chef now, so he will send me a large sum of money every month, but I don't bother to use the money of that kind of ruthless and unrighteous guy." ”
Even though he said this, Shirakawa Xing still heard the anticipation and worry hidden in his tone.
There are really a lot of duplicitous people in this world, Bai Chuanxing looked at the fish tank next to him: "These fish seem to have been raised for a long time." ”
"Ang, these are also my grandson's, and he actually left such troublesome things for me when he left."
Maori Kogoro also took a closer look: "These fish are actually of a variety of species, and they seem to be very well raised." ”
At this moment, the sound of other people talking at the door was heard, and Conan trotted over and opened the door, and saw two men and a woman standing at the door, the two men looked quite gentle and harmless, and the woman looked like a proud lord.
"Big brother, who are you?"
One of the men in a knitted hat smiled and said, "Little brother, is the owner of the house here at home?" ”
Hearing this, Conan smiled and said, "Uh, well, yes." ”
The old woman took two steps forward and stared at the man in the knitted hat: "What's the matter with me?" ”
The woman said proudly: "Aha, I'm sorry, the three of us originally wanted to come to this mountain to do forest bathing." ”
Another man, who seemed to be much more mature, answered: "As a result, not only did I get lost, but the fuel tank bottomed out." ”
"So, if it's convenient, can you let us stay here for the night?"
The man in the knitted hat looked very happy, and he didn't see the appearance of being unlucky and trapped at all:
"Oh, by the way, we're definitely not suspicious. My name is Kagawara Fengya, and this beauty's name is Da Ting Qian. ”
The mature man politely took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Andalai, and I work in customer service in Tokyo. ”
Da Tingqian smiled flamboyantly: "That's right, that's right, I'm that customer." ”
The Andalai looked a little helpless and smiled apologetically at the old woman.
Seeing that the old woman had been staring at herself silently, Kahara Fengya bowed down and said, "One night is fine, I don't know what you think?" ”
The old woman snorted coldly: "I'll let you stay tonight, but from tomorrow onwards, you are not allowed to step into me again, you know?" ”
Da Tingqian suddenly raised her eyebrows, crossed her waist and said: "It feels really bad, if it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't want to live if I begged me." ”
Listening to the two men at the door comforting Da Tingqian, Bai Chuanxing whispered to Nan Si: "That woman looks a little familiar." ”
Nan Si comprehended and introduced to Bai Chuanxing: "That young lady looks a little similar to the president of the Courtyard Club, Chang Tingchang, and it should be his youngest daughter at the age. ”
Seeing that Bai Chuanxing didn't seem to remember, Nan Si reminded: "Da Tingchang is the president of a financial company, and he once wanted to communicate with you about stocks, but you refused. ”
Maori Kogoro, who heard them chatting in a whisper, said unhappily: "It turned out to be the daughter of the president of a large company, no wonder she is so arrogant." ”
Originally, he still thought that Bai Chuanxing's pomp was too big, but in such a comparison, Baichuan Xing was simply gentle and approachable.
"Dad, don't do that."
Mao Lilan hurried to stop his unreliable father's rudeness.
Shirakawa Xing evoked a playful smile, it seems that today's deceased is confirmed.
