"That's right, so you were specially invited to the tea party by Professor Moriya at the exhibition...... It's amazing. ”

As soon as they approached, Suzuki Sonoko's slightly deliberate voice came into their ears, and Conan shuddered when he heard it.

There is actually nothing wrong with the content, the expression is very polite, the problem is the voice of Suzuki Sonoko, that is called a ......

To put it simply, it makes people afraid.

"I don't have any extraordinary talents, but Professor Moriya has some disputes with people, and I helped me out a few words." The boy's voice with his back to them was magnetic, and he shook his head slightly at Suzuki Sonoko's compliment, "It's not appreciation, and Mr. Moriya doesn't fancy my work." ”

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were fixed motionless on the other party's face, and there was still a spring breeze smile on her face: "Being able to participate in Professor Shinya's conversation proves that you are a very skilled painter." Don't be too modest, Kitagawa-kun—"

"No, it was just an accidental coincidence, Professor Moriya was ...... at the time"

"What are you talking about, Yusuke." Teiji Moriya, who was originally holding a cup of tea and was about to chat with a few interested Party A, stepped over to the two of them, and directly stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around the boy's shoulder, preventing him from continuing to say the rest of the words, "This is Miss Suzuki Sonoko of the Suzuki Foundation, fortunately, your visit today really made the humble house shine." ”

He knew that this young man, who looked excellent and looked very stable, definitely had the wrong string in his brain!

I gave Kitagawa Yusuke this invitation, but I definitely didn't want him to come and turn his old bottom, more precisely, this was originally used to gag him.

But apparently, this young man with strange brain circuits didn't understand this at all.

Now that I think about it, where was Yusuke Kitagawa helping him at that time, it was simply that both sides were on their own levers, and the main one made no one happy.

Teiji Moriya regretted his decision delicately, and Conan and the others, who came to find the garden, had already walked to Suzuki Sonoko's side, and they saw the face of the boy opposite.

"I knew ......" Conan muttered quietly when he saw a handsome face with a slight melancholy.

Based on the name of the two people to this person, this person should be called, Yusuke Kitagawa is right.

"Professor Moriya." Tang Ze, who was wrapped around his shoulder, made a slightly confused expression, looking like he didn't quite understand why Teiji Moriya was suddenly so close, but he still politely used honorifics at him, "Thank you for the invitation, it's really a meaningful salon." ”

Teiji Moriya narrowed his eyes and slanted at the young man with his peripheral vision, his mood even more complicated.

What is a very meaningful salon, haven't you been eating and eating since you entered the door, and the biscuits on the table have been shown off by three people.

If it weren't for the fact that this Suzuki Sonoko came up to talk with his eyes shining after seeing his face, I am afraid that he would still be buried in the dining table, eating all kinds of refreshments that he had made all day.

He did prefer to bake his own food rather than let the maid take care of the food.

But his intention in sharing cookies is to harvest admiration and joy from the faces of the guests, not to swallow them directly without looking at them like a cow chewing peonies!

Teiji Moriya gritted his teeth slightly in his heart, and still maintained a gentleman's modesty and calmness on his face: "I see that you seem to like these snacks very much, how are they, how do you think they taste." ”

"It tastes great, if only there were more portions." Tang Ze nodded and said bluntly.

This kid......

Teiji Moriya inhaled deeply.

Tang Ze felt the subtle tightening of his shoulders, and he was secretly refreshed in his heart.

This is the joy of KY, the feeling of choking to death regardless of the occasion, it's so good!

Yusuke Kitagawa, as a poor guy with a brain circuit that is a little different from ordinary people, can't read air, and is obsessed with his own creation and learning, is really a hypocrite special attack artifact, and Karasawa, who faithfully plays this image, quickly felt the fun from it.

Tang Ze, who has always had good emotional intelligence and is very good at saving the scene, has no chance to be so choking on weekdays, and the yin and yang weirdness of the main yin and yang of Wise Wulang's vest is another style, and now a wave of Emperor Moriya has choked him, and Tang Ze is very happy.

"Kitagawa-kun, are you hungry?" Suzuki Sonoko, who had always wanted to interject in the gap, seized the opportunity, "Well, it's not easy to eat at the tea party." Why don't I invite you to dinner in a moment? ”

A sentence blurted out, she intuitively felt that her purpose was too obvious, and she disguised the hair on her sideburns, and put on a reserved smile again: "I had a good chat with Kitagawa-kun just now, I think we can communicate more." ”

"Then I'm bothering you." Hearing the word "treat", Tang Ze immediately looked at it and agreed without hesitation.

Standing aside and listening to the stupid Moriya Teiji: "......"

He had expected that Yusuke Kitagawa would attract a rich lady and a rich lady because of his outstanding appearance, but in the effort of such a few words, he hooked up with a real wealthy daughter, and the reason was that he didn't eat, which was too ......

Conan saw a subtle confusion on his face, "You can catch a fish with a straight hook", and coughed to hide an uncontrollable smile.

Well, although this conversation is really funny, but after all, the other side is a stranger, and the garden will always attract some inexplicable attention, not so serious attention of the opposite sex, or to inquire clearly for this friend who can't walk when he sees a handsome guy.

He raised his hand and grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's cuffs, interrupting Suzuki Sonoko's eyes that were about to say something like "Then we'll leave now", and asked in a child's tone, "This brother, haven't you eaten for a long time, why did you come to the tea party to eat?" ”

Those who can participate in the Moriya Emperor's Second Tea Party, don't talk about being rich or expensive, after all, they are people who can eat well in the industry, no matter how they are, they won't even be able to afford to eat, right? How is it as if it can be hooked off with a meal, is this a golden retriever?

"yes, it's been a long time since I've eaten." Facing the eyes of several people, Tang Ze said calmly, "It's been about two days." ”

Emperor Moriya turned his head to look at his expression, and found that his face was serious, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "...... When I asked you before, didn't you say that because of the welfare, scholarships and sponsorship, you can still maintain your studies? ”

"Yes, but the day before yesterday, I bought a new batch of paints, and I don't have much money left."

"Since you can't eat, you still have to take care of your body first, Yusuke."

"Well, the main thing is to create good works to participate in the big awards these days, and if you don't buy paints, you will miss the submission time."

Teiji Moriya looked at him wordlessly for a moment, feeling speechless for a while.

"This is ......" Maori Kogoro, who walked around and couldn't even find a mouthful of wine chocolate, saw his daughter and a few people gathered together, and walked over with a cup of tea.

"This is Yusuke Kitagawa, a young friend I met by chance, who is quite talented in painting and is a very good young man." Teiji Moriya patted him on the shoulder twice with pretended familiarity, "So I specially invited him to participate in today's tea party." Oh, I hope it doesn't offend you, Miss Suzuki. ”

Halfway through his words, his gaze turned back to Sonoko Suzuki.

What he said had some hints in it.

didn't name anything, except for the name, only a compliment to talent, plus the problem of living constraints exposed by the other party just now, some rich wives who know this well, hearing this, already understand that this is a young man who can be easily controlled.

will be so quick to keep an eye on Yusuke Kitagawa , presumably his appearance should have a very good appetite for this young lady.

Teiji Moriya looked at Suzuki Sonoko opposite, and found wordlessly that Suzuki Sonoko just glanced at him casually, and then stared at Kitagawa Yusuke's face again, and the smile on his face was still hanging, as if he wasn't listening to what he was saying at all.

…… He remembers, isn't this Suzuki heir who is rumored to be likely to sit in the next place?

"Fortunately." Karasawa pretended not to understand anything, and shook hands with Mori Kogoro.

"You've come just in time, Mr. Maori." Teiji Moriya pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, "I have a little entertainment here, I don't know if you're interested in cooperating." ”

He handed the paper in his hand to Kogoro Mori, and at the same time did not forget to hold Yusuke Kitagawa in his hand with one hand.

This kid is like a starving ghost reincarnated, but don't turn his head, run to the dining table to eat snacks, and then pass on the debate a few days ago to him.

This is his private salon, and it is either a related practitioner who has a friendly relationship with him, or someone he hopes to get closer to, and if there are any strange rumors here, he doesn't want his noble reputation.

Moreover, if it is discovered that he has already argued with people in public over aesthetic issues, it will not be good to think of him in the future when his other works also have accidents.

"What is this?" Mori Kogoro took the paper he handed him and frowned when he saw the names and numbers on it.

"Oh, that's a little puzzle." Teiji Moriya smiled, "Recently, I want to help the three of you run a company together to deduce a password, since you are a detective Mori Kogoro, you must be able to solve it immediately." ”

Maori Kogoro, who stared at the piece of paper for a few seconds, coughed twice: "So, what is the hint of the password?" ”

"Well, it's a noun made up of the names of these three operators, and it's a total of five hiragana." Moritani Teiji, who had given the complete riddle, turned his head and looked at the others in the field, "You can also think about it together." The time limit is three minutes, and if you get it right, I'll give you some special gifts. Let's try it out. ”

The maid who was standing in the garden pouring tea and setting up the meal at his signal handed out the puzzle to the others at the tea party, and the people in the garden began to look at the piece of paper in their hands.

"Why is the architect's tea party, but also to do a guessing puzzle...... Suzuki Sonoko muttered, catching a glimpse of Yusuke Kitagawa who was still looking at the dining table, rolled his eyes, and took two steps closer to him, "Kitagawa-kun, what a difficult topic, do you have any ideas?" ”

"I'll see."

Seeing that Yusuke Kitagawa naturally took the paper handed over by Sonoko Suzuki, Teiji Moriya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the hourglass prepared in advance, and flipped it over gently.

"Everyone has finished reading the question, and the countdown has begun."

"Hmm, blood type, height, name, and age don't matter......"

"I can't think of it, and there are too few hints."

"Is it some kind of anagram for hiding your head?"

The guests took the paper in their hands and whispered to the people they knew well, and the relieved Teiji Moriya picked up his pipe and went to the side to silently strike a match.

His plan is about to be implemented, and the guy he wants to target specifically does not show up at his tea party as promised, which makes Teiji Moriya, who has always liked to follow the plan and strictly implement the plan, a little nervous.

Fortunately, there was a girl who was suspected of being Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend, which might be more effective than finding Kudo Shinichi himself.

It may be more effective for him to feel the pain of having his beloved object taken away from him than to directly hurt him.

The fine white gravel in the hourglass slowly passed away, and many guests who couldn't figure it out silently put down their hands.

"I can't think of it, I'm really not good at solving puzzles."

"Forget it, let the experts solve it."

"yes, detective, it should be easy to solve this problem, right?"

The eyes of the audience were on Kogoro Mori.

Maori Kogoro, who clenched the paper in his hand, tensed his face and stared at the words on the paper, his forehead sweating slightly.

Really, who stipulates that a detective must be able to solve puzzles, a detective's job is to solve cases, and many cases have nothing to do with puzzles......

Ah, this question is really outrageous, Emperor Moriya invited Kudo Boy to come, shouldn't it be just to test him for his debut question, and want him to be embarrassed, right? I shouldn't have run for that little ghost to come out of this.

He looked at the children standing across from him.

Conan looked at the question in his hand thoughtfully, Moriran looked at him worriedly, Suzuki Sonoko wrapped her arms around Yusuke Kitagawa and came to his side to look at the question with him, and Yusuke Kitagawa ......

Yusuke Kitagawa is holding a butterfly cake in his mouth, holding a pencil in his hand, and is scribbling something on the back of the question.

Just looking at the posture of holding the pen, it doesn't look like he is writing any solution ideas, he is simply drawing on the back of the answer sheet!

Over there, Conan leaned into Maorilan's ear and muttered a few words, and after Maorilan confirmed it repeatedly, he nodded vigorously.

"Okay......" Writing three words on the paper, Maolilan quietly bumped his father's arm and replaced the paper in his hand.

Maori Kogoro was stunned, looked down at the things his daughter stuffed, and after recognizing the handwriting for a while, he read out hesitantly: "...... Momotaro? ”

Teiji Moriya, who was smoking a pipe with his back turned his back, paused, turned his head, and looked Mori Kogoro up and down for a moment.

Looking at this person's bombastic appearance, he originally thought that he was just an ordinary detective who had never seen the world, but now he looks at it, isn't it exactly a straw bag......

Sure enough, Kudo Shinichi probably understood the provocative meaning of his invitation, and would not send a waste to deal with him at random.

That's good, if the opponent doesn't react and is unconscious, then his unappreciated design is too lonely.

"That's right." Teiji Moriya, who had adjusted his expression, smiled slowly and applauded lightly, "It's worthy of being a detective, Mr. Mori, it's my team that got the axe." ”

To the applause of the audience, Mori Kogoro glanced at his daughter and Conan behind him, barely straightened his waist, and nodded pretending to be calm.

Teiji Moriya smiled and made a guiding gesture: "Please come with me to my exhibition room, and I will give you a gift." ”

He glanced at Mao Lilan, who was pulling Conan and muttering something in a low voice, and added, "This young lady and little brother can also come and see together." My exhibition room is not open to the public all the time. ”

"Good!" Mao Lilan, who was a little hesitant because of the matter of Dai Da, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard his words.

No matter what Mr. Moriya gave to his father, he would have given it to Conan, if it weren't for Conan's help, his father would have made a big fool of himself in front of these stars today.

Conan, who was smiling, followed without any burden.

After confirming the various actions of the organization, his current mentality has been honed, and he feels that he has passed the state of wanting to be in the limelight for everything.

The interesting thing about solving the puzzle is the puzzle itself, as for the praise associated with it......

Now that the decision to hide behind the scenes has been made, there is always something to sacrifice.

Before leaving the garden, Conan, who had thought of something, turned his head and glanced at Suzuki Sonoko, who was still in the room.

I saw Suzuki Sonoko pulling Yusuke Kitagawa and still saying something happily, looking uninterested in what was happening on their side, and naturally I didn't see their cheating behavior of secretly reporting the answer.

…… It's also good to have fun in their own way.

Sonoko Suzuki took the paper on which she had drawn, looked at the sketch on the paper, and looked surprised: "Ah, it's so good, Kitagawa-kun, thank you!" ”

took her question and only glanced at it, Yusuke Kitagawa said without hesitation: "I don't understand, I won't." ”

Before Suzuki Sonoko began to be embarrassed, he picked up the pencil given by Teiji Moriya's servants, turned the paper over, and said, "Since you can't either, then forget it, but just right, so there will be paper." Thank you for inviting me to dinner, and I'll draw you a picture, right? ”

Suzuki Sonoko was very surprised to get a sketch of his side face.

Although it was just a simple exercise in two or three minutes, although it was just an uncomplicated sketch, this was the first gift she got from a handsome guy!

Oh, and Donsawa's gift doesn't count.

Although Tang Ze is also a handsome guy, she was also moved when she received the sustenance for the first time, but when she soon found out that Tang Ze was simply a habitual gift-giving, not only herself, Xiaolan, Conan's little ghost, and even Uncle Maori, Dr. Asasa and Conan's classmates, everyone had a share, her mood became very flat.

It's not that the gifts are bad, Tang Ze is very careful in giving gifts, and he will take care of everyone's preferences, but this kind of big delivery posture makes people have no chance to think about it at all.

It's really blind to that face, and I don't give any material for dreaming.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was moved, quickly reciprocated: "You told me before that you are a disciple of Mr. Ruyue Fengshui, right?" ”

"I can't count, I can only be regarded as an ordinary student who is still studying with the teacher."

"It's the same, come on!" Sonoko Suzuki grabbed Yusuke Kitagawa by the arm, "I know a few people who do special funds...... You said you were going to participate in the big prize, right? ”

"Yes, if I don't get a place, my scholarship will be cancelled."

"That's right, let's take a walk, I'll introduce a few people to you!"

"I'm sorry for you, Miss Suzuki."

Letting Suzuki Sonoko drag him forward, Tang Ze, who felt that he hadn't collapsed at all, gave himself a thumbs up with great satisfaction.

Who said that when KY is not able to develop a vest background? Look down on people, they are all kings of connections!
