"Wow, are these all your past works?" Walking into the exhibition room of Teiji Moritani, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up, "It's amazing." ”

The interior of Teiji Moriya's house uses a classical architectural style consistent with the overall architectural style, which is luxurious and atmospheric, and the exhibits in the whole room have a precipitated elegant temperament, which complements the regular symmetrical buildings in the picture.

Walking into the exhibition room, looking at Conan from photo to photo, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, but fortunately, his decoration style is consistent inside and out, and he maintains the overall architectural level, otherwise if it is a modern building, such a room full of symmetrical photos appears, he is afraid that he will not hold back, and will take out a notebook and start drawing a floor plan or something.

It looks too much like some kind of puzzle game, the kind of "find out the asymmetrical buildings in the room" or something......

Thinking like this, Conan couldn't help but start scanning through the photos one by one, and began the activity of everyone to find faults.

This façade building, the design is very bold, well, look closely, it is indeed symmetrical, tightly fitted, the next one.

This, this one looks like an observatory, let's take a look at the location...... Oh yes, it's symmetrical, but if the telescope had turned around, would Professor Moriya ...... Oh, if you look closely, there is an entrance on each side, and that's fine, no matter how you turn it, it's symmetrical.

This fountain sculpture is so familiar, is it at the entrance of which mall? If Professor Moritani were told that because of the later renovation plan of the mall, the sculpture that was originally facing the gate has now become an oblique angle, causing people entering and leaving the mall to see completely asymmetrical visual effects, will his face change drastically?

"Eh, Sister Xiaolan, look, is this the house of Dean Kurokawa's family?" When his gaze moved to the next photo, Conan was stunned, turned to Maolilan and called out.

In the flames of the villa in the explosion, he stood in front of the door and frowned and observed for a long time, so he was impressed by its appearance.

As a result, is this the work of Teiji Moriya?

"I'll see, oh, it seems to be." Mao Lilan looked at the photo for a moment and nodded, "This is actually the work of Professor Moriya." It's a shame. ”

Looking at Moriran's expression, Teiji Moriya's hand behind his back clenched into a fist.

What is a pity, is it a pity for the director of the hospital who died in a dispute, or is it a pity for this house?

Although the accidental detonation of the bomb was unplanned, it was a good thing that the broken thing was blown up.

"I heard that Mr. Kurokawa was assassinated by a maid at home...... Oh yes, I did hear that it seems to be a case that you, Mr. Maori Detective, solved. Teiji Moriya glanced at Kogoro Mori, who was pretending to be looking around the room, and slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's worthy of being a brilliant detective." ”

"Awards, awards." Mori Kogoro, who had already received too many compliments, habitually began to be modest, "The case itself is not complicated, and it happened in the interpersonal network of the deceased, even if there is no help from me, the police can solve it with a little investigation of the suspect's background." ”

"But the cost of that kind is not the same as cracking it directly on the spot. I heard that this case took less than an hour from the time it was reported to the time it was resolved by you. It is not surprising that it would take a week or even a month for the police to investigate. Teiji Moriya maintained a steady arc of his smile and slowly led the conversation, "I think this is the reason why detectives are respected by everyone and become famous." Mr. Kudo, whom I originally invited, is rumored to be in such a sharp and fast style. ”

Instead of praising the intelligence of the detective itself, it is a bit intriguing to say that the main function of the detective is to reduce costs.

Conan withdrew his gaze from examining the photograph and glanced back at Teiji Moriya subtly.

Although the whole sentence uses honorifics and a lot of praise words, it doesn't sound like a good word.

Maori Kogoro, who was standing in front of Teiji Moriya, obviously didn't feel the aggressiveness of this kind of hidden needle, and was still touching the back of his head, and smiled politely: "Where, where." ”

Tsk, it's back to the exaggerated and unreliable image of a middle-aged detective.

Shaking his head in his heart, he lowered his evaluation of Maori Kogoro, and he turned his focus to Maori Lan: "Speaking of which, I will let you go to the appointment instead of him, you and Mr. Kudo Shinichi are very familiar with each other." ”

"Yes, actually, the two of us grew up together and have been studying in the same school, so we are really familiar with each other...... However, we haven't seen each other much in recent times. Mao Lilan nodded and replied, "Shinichi, there have been a lot of things to be busy with recently, and I've only met him once or twice. ”

“…… Oh, yes. Teiji Moriya nodded abruptly, and at the same time silently moved Mori Lan's ranking forward by one place.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old young people, it is the time when hormones are most active, and Mao Lilan is a first-sight beauty with excellent looks and very much in line with the public's aesthetics, if Kudo Shinichi is familiar with her to the extent that she can attend various occasions instead of herself, then the relationship between them may be more ambiguous than she guessed.

And what he was looking for was such a person.

"However, we'll meet again in a few days, Professor Moriya, if there's anything you want to convey, I can let him know." Mao Lilan changed his words and smiled, "Actually, in a few days, it will be Shinichi's birthday, and I am going to ask him to watch a movie at midnight, just to celebrate his birthday." ”

"Huh?"

"Midnight show?"

Mori Kogoro and Conan made surprised voices at the same time, their faces were shocked, and they said in unison, "No, absolutely not!" ”

Mao Lilan looked at the expressions of the two, a slight crimson appeared on his face, and he shrugged his shoulders: "Oops, there is just a new blockbuster coming out, it's the kind of premiere midnight show with a lot of people, where do you think?" ”

"Spending zero o'clock in the cinema is a very youthful plan." Teiji Moriya smiled approvingly and continued, "Have you prepared a gift?" ”

"Not yet." Mao Lilan shook his head and sighed, "I am actually a little angry that he didn't agree with each other, went to a far away place to investigate the case on his own, and didn't go home to school for several months, and didn't even say hello to us." So, I decided to see how he did when the time came. If I can get a reasonable explanation, it's just to pick a gift for him while shopping, we both love red, and I actually have a few gift plans. But, if it doesn't work......"

When she said to the back, she tilted her head, folded her hands behind her back as if she was embarrassed, and shrugged her shoulders slightly, as if she was helpless.

However, Mori Kogoro and Conan could faintly hear the sound of bones pinching from her light movements.

Oh no, Kudo Kid/My birthday, shouldn't it be a death day......

"Eh, is that so?" The woman covered her mouth in surprise, "Mr. Ruyue, the pressure is not small." ”

"Yes, the teacher is actually very concerned about the aesthetic education and training system, and he also hopes to expand the number of disciples he enrolls, but after all, he is a national treasure-level master, and if he opens some classes at will, it is likely to affect his reputation." Tang Ze nodded seriously, "Therefore, only when I get the award of this big award, the teacher will consider officially including me in his name." ”

"Well, my husband did say something similar, hey, the basic education of aesthetics still needs to be grasped, your teacher may be a little harsh, but this is what is needed to cultivate real artists." The woman sighed, and pulled out a perfume-scented business card from her small purse, "Go back to this number, I think my husband will be willing to provide a suitable letter of recommendation." ”

"Thank you for your trust, I'll be cheering for the race." Lowering his head and taking the business card she handed over with both hands, Tang Ze looked at the contents of the top with a serious face, his face full of solemnity.

"Sounds really not easy, Kitagawa-san......" The lady with silver threads in her hair patted his elbow regretfully, and as expected, she came into contact with the laundry that had been washed like a piece of cardboard, and her eyes slowly glowed with love, "Without the support of my family, it is very difficult to learn to draw." Will it be difficult to choose such a path? Especially when compared to so many other students. ”

"Being able to learn painting itself is what it means to me." Tang Ze nodded calmly, and did not refuse the tea tray that the lady brought for him, "You have been very helpful in being willing to give me this bursary, thank you from the bottom of my heart." ”

"Where, where, it's just a trifle."

After receiving a new business card, Tang Ze did not forget his tireless introducer, and turned his head to Suzuki Sonoko to express his gratitude again: "Thank you for your introduction, Miss Suzuki, thank you so much." ”

"Thank me for what you did, this is an opportunity you have earned with your own talents." Sonoko Suzuki's hand was still on the crook of his arm, and he smiled widely.

"If I hadn't had you screened and recommended me, I wouldn't have been able to get these opportunities." Tang Ze shook his head, still with a serious face, "Thank you very much." ”

As a loyal face control, as long as Kitagawa Yusuke's face charm is still there, Suzuki Sonoko is his solid backing, and Tang Ze is very confident.

In addition, although this one-sided tone is out of consideration for restoring the personality, his gratitude is not adulterated at all.

Although Suzuki Yuanzi is not there, he also has his own methods, but having a garden has really saved him too much time and energy, and seeing that this disciple who is like a moon and a peak water, a rising star in the art world, and a character from a poor family who is dedicated to the pursuit of art, is about to be completely implemented.

In order to do a good job of this identity, everyone in the Strange Thieves Group has tried every means to investigate Ruyue Fengshui himself for many days, and they can be said to know him well, and most of the excuses Tang Ze said are the real situation.

But so far, it is also true that he does not know Ruyue Fengshui at all.

However, such a small difficulty could not be difficult for him at all, and this was another purpose for him to participate in the Moriya Emperor II Salon.

Putting aside issues such as character and demons, Teiji Moriya's reputation in the industry is real, and it is also real to be able to contact enough relevant people in his salon.

As for how he is going to do this identity...... I don't know if you've heard of the joke about "Come to my house to eat hot pot, and you'll be missed", it's almost like that.

He first used the name of Ruyue Fengshui's registered disciple to ask for some recommended resources about the award, and then used this recommendation resource to find artists who had some intersections with Ruyue Fengshui, and wanted to recommend a letter of introduction to Ruyue Fengshui......

It's almost such a cycle, featuring an empty glove white wolf.

When this circle came down, he was not a disciple of Ruyue Fengshui, and he would soon be there.

As long as he gets a place in the next big award, all the nonsense he says will come true - a student with a big award award in his left hand and a famous family connection in his right hand is really an impeccable choice, and it is impossible for Yue Fengshui to refuse.

As for the matter of claiming to be his quasi-disciple, it is also a trivial matter that is very easy to solve, after all, Ruyue Fengshui really has an open class, although the number of times is very small, as long as he comes to a few more words such as "Becoming your disciple is my goal, so I think I am your quasi-disciple" and the like, with Tang Ze's three-inch incorruptible tongue, he can really reverse black and white purely by flickering.

And Ruyue Fengshui is also his next goal.

A Moriya Emperor II is indeed a heavyweight, just looking at the scale and level of his palace, Tang Ze feels that the harvest should be not small, but his resurrection list is not only one person, the more the merrier.

With such an identity, there is also more room for activities, so why not do it in one fell swoop.

By the time Conan and the others returned to the garden, Karasawa had finished his tour, and he and Suzuki Sonoko had gathered around the dining table again, eating the dim sum that Teiji Moriya had worked so hard to make, as if nothing had happened.

“…… It looks like it's been a long time since I've eaten, Kitagawa-san. Looking at the two or three empty plates in his hand, Mao Lilan whispered.

"Painting materials, it's really expensive." Conan muttered with concern.

He was a little skeptical about Kitagawa Yusuke's argument that he was buying painting materials, and felt that it might be a reason to attract the attention of a rich girl.

But think about it carefully, Kitagawa Yusuke's face is placed there, if he really approaches Suzuki Sonoko with a purpose, in fact, there is no need to set up any persona, as long as he uses his face to face her, Suzuki Sonoko will jump back without hesitation, ah no, take the initiative to approach.

However, in order to prevent his unjust big hair and small hair from being blown up by the unscrupulous people, Conan still took out his mobile phone and searched for the price of paint when he was just walking around.

Then he looked at it dumbfounded for a moment, and couldn't help but pull Maurilan's sleeve and share his findings with her.

It seems very difficult for a high school student to complete his painting studies on his own.

"Are you sure about the big prize?" Sonoko Suzuki looked at Yusuke Kitagawa who was eating snacks and said with a smile.

Even if the handsome guy in front of her is a biscuit in his left hand and right hand, stuffing it into his mouth with a bow left and right, and he doesn't have any image, she doesn't mind.

is also not eating, the handsome guy does this action, even if the cheeks are bulging and the cheeks are deformed, it can also be called straightforward and cute, without hypocrisy.

The world of Yan Dog is so simple and pure.

said that if he wanted to act, he would only act really, and Tang Ze, who had not eaten for two days, ate without any pressure, with a mouthful of biscuit crumbs, and replied to her seriously: "All my future is pinned on it, if I fall down at this time, then I have no need to continue studying." Don't worry, Miss Suzuki. ”

Yes, Tang Ze is really ready to sign up for this big award.

This is a carefully selected award by Karasawa and funded by the Tokiwa Group, which may fall under the sailors of Ruzuki Mine in the future, and there are no restrictions on the age and background of the participants, and there are also social entry channels.

As for how to win the award......

Let's put it this way, from the perspective of Tang Ze's past laymen, his current painting level is definitely the upper level of this age group, which is enough to take the road of art examination and further study art; And this level, in the evaluation system of Black Feather Kaito, is called "junior painting mastery".

So, right, it's obvious what he's going to do.

That's the confidence Kidd the Thief gave me! Don't you say thank you, Brother Kuaidou!

"It's amazing...... Suzuki Sonoko held her cheeks, looked at the serious Kitagawa Yusuke, and whispered admiration.

What you said, is it because he is powerful, or is he still so good at eating like this......

Conan walked over to her with the corners of his mouth twitching, and quietly tugged at the hem of Suzuki's skirt to bring her back to her senses and clean up her face, so that she would not accidentally say something outrageous.

Sonoko Suzuki blinked, looked down at the elementary school student pulling at his gauze skirt, and didn't quite understand what he was doing.

However, seeing his friend and the unreliable two men, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly came to inspiration.

"When the tea party is over, let's have a meal together." Sonoko Suzuki suggested, "I just know there's a nice buffet nearby, and it's very luxurious." ”

Inviting Yusuke Kitagawa directly is still a bit too deliberate, so it is better to call a few more people, which can not only alleviate the embarrassment of the scene, but also further deepen the understanding of Yusuke Kitagawa .

In her opinion, whether the family of friends can be regarded as excellent detectives will not be discussed, and they really have a set of ways to quickly get closer to each other.

"Oh yes, what gift did Professor Moriya give you?" Thinking of this, Sonoko Suzuki remembered the reason why they had just left the scene and leaned over curiously.

"It's nothing, it's this thing." Mao Lilan took out a small gift given to her by Teiji Moriya, "It's not a valuable thing, it's a trinkets that he has nothing to do...... Well, at least that's what Mr. Moriya said. ”

After hearing her say that she and Kudo Shinichi's lucky colors were red, Teiji Moriya picked out such an ornament from his drawer and gave it to Moriran as a gift for answering the question.

Of course, it is also symmetrical.

Tang Ze looked at the laurel brooch inlaid with red crystals in her hand and raised his eyebrows.

It seems that this time, Mao Lilan did not reveal the specific place and time of his original date with Kudo Shinichi, and Teiji Moriya was obviously in a hurry, and he directly lost the locator.

But it's okay to do this, so that it is convenient to confuse the other party's cognition and disrupt the other party's plan for Kudo Shinichi and Mao Liran.
