Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 664 Untitled
In the living room, several people sat down.

Originally, the vice president and secretary were a little dissatisfied with the arrival of the outsider, but for the sake of the former president's son, they didn't say anything.

After a while, the owner of the villa, Daoji Mashima, came over.

Kinoshita Tomo stood up from the sofa and introduced: "President Majima, this is the Mr. Qin Zhibo I was talking about."

Seeing Qin Zhibo, President Ma Dao immediately put on a smile on his not-so-happy face, and stretched out his hand.

"You are the famous detective! I have admired you for a long time, and I have admired you for a long time."

When Qin Zhibo's identity was mentioned, the faces of the vice president and the secretary on the sofa suddenly changed, revealing expressions of surprise, and then their complexions became serious.

Qin Zhibo caught this subtle change in expression and did not say anything, continuing to be polite with President Ma Dao.

"Where, where, it's just a false name."

President Ma Dao let go of his hands and said enthusiastically, "Since you're here, let's go and see 'that'."

"Yingjia, take a few of you there first, and I'll be there soon."

"Yes, please come with me."

Led by the beautiful housewife, Qin Zhibo and the three were led to the corridor on the other side of the villa.

When he reached the place where he was about to lose sight of the living room, Qin Zhibo glanced back.

I saw the president of Ma Dao with a stern face, holding a file bag in his hand, and seemed to be reprimanding the vice president.

President—Dangerous!

……

Following the guidance of the housewife, Qin Zhibo, Conan and Mao Lilan came to the Japanese garden next to the villa.

Behind the courtyard is a huge pond, the middle of the pond is covered with white fine sand, and there is a rockery in the middle.

The white fine sand is carefully paved into rows of corrugated shapes, which looks very chic.

At this time, the housekeeper looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "The time is just right. Please look at the rockery."

Under her guidance, several people saw the rockery in the middle of the pond.

From the cave on the top of the rockery, gurgling water flows out, and the clear water overflows into the pond, turning the originally dry white sand ground into the bottom of the pond.

When the water is completely covered, the white sand covering the bottom is like waves, and it is even more sparkling under the sunshine, full of artistic conception.

"It's so beautiful!" Mao Lilan couldn't help admiring, "Isn't it? Conan?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded heavily.

The housekeeper also introduced: "The water setting of this pool is to let the water from the rockery waterfall flow into the yard at eight o'clock in the morning and evening and four o'clock in the afternoon every day. After 30 minutes, the water will automatically drain out and return to its original appearance. .”

Qin Zhibo nodded appreciatively. Except that this design was a bit of a waste of water resources, and in order not to damage the arrangement of white sands, a large area of ​​the yard could not be walked on, but everything else was pretty good.

At this time, the president of Ma Dao also came back, and introduced by the way: "Actually, this is a landscape designed by the previous president. After reading it, everyone commented well, so I kept it."

Qin Zhibo took a look at the president of Ma Dao, he was indeed the man who is the president, just after reprimanding his subordinates, he greeted the guests with a kind face when he came back.

"It's really pretty, and the maintenance cost must be high, right?"

Qin Zhibo's words pointed directly at the pain point of President Ma Dao, and he nodded immediately, agreeing: "Indeed, the monthly maintenance fee for this facility is a huge expense."

"But after all, it was left by the former president, or..."

Ma Dao wanted to say that it couldn't be demolished so quickly, but felt it was inappropriate, so he held back his words.

After a while, the housekeeper brought tea again, and they sat on the tatami and chatted.

The content of the conversation is nothing more than talking about the mountains and complimenting each other a few words.

Speaking of Kinoshita furniture, when Qin Zhibo was shopping in a department store last time, he saw this brand of furniture, and they were quite expensive.

But when they first met, Qin Zhibo was too embarrassed to ask for a set of furniture in person.

Besides, who needs a dead man's promise?
Regarding Qin Zhibo, President Ma Dao also has careful thoughts.

When the conversation was about the same, Ma Dao's tone seemed to be unintentional, but he asked nervously, "Mr. Qin, what is the relationship between you and Kinoshita?"

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "I'm writing some novels in a magazine recently, and the editor-in-chief of the magazine recommended me to discuss with Kinoshita about literature."

Hearing this answer, Majima breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense facial muscles also relaxed.

"Oh I got it."

"Then you can rest assured to stay here tonight, I have a lot of guest rooms here."

"That's disturbing."

In fact, Majima did not personally say that there is no way to rush back to Tokyo from Shizuoka tonight, and it is inevitable to live here.

And Conan looked at the face of the president of Ma Dao, and also keenly noticed that the president of Ma Dao was hiding something in his heart, and he was very concerned about Qin Zhibo's identity as a detective.

It's okay if it's normal, but with Qin Zhibo here, maybe there will be a case.

As a god of death, Conan, who is not conscious at all, thinks so in his heart.

……

6:00pm, Villa restaurant.

"Hope our Kinoshita furniture business is booming, cheers!"

"cheers!"

At the dinner table, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

The main course of dinner is steak, followed by refreshments.

President Ma Dao didn't stay for too long. After dinner, he excused that he had business to deal with and left early.

Tomo Kinoshita has to watch an adventure-related video, and can chat with Qin Zhibo about literature until 11:15 in the evening.

After the two left, the remaining people began to reveal their motives.

To sum it up, both the vice president and the secretary are dissatisfied with Ma Dao's president, and Ma Dao makes things difficult for both of them at work.

In this way, dinner ended in a not-so-pleasant atmosphere.

In the following time, Qin Zhibo sat in the living room, chatting with Mao Lilan, Conan and the vice president.

Of course, during the chat, Qin Zhibo did not forget to place a guard totem in President Ma Dao's room.

With the guard totem, you can see who is trying to attack him.

But from after dinner until 11:15, the president's room was safe and sound. President Majima watched TV in the room by himself, laughing from time to time.

Until Tomoki Kinoshita returned to the living room and exchanged literature with Qin Zhibo.

The two discussed many things, such as the construction of a unified world view, the choice of style and subject matter, how to mobilize readers' interest in reading, and so on.

Conan and Mao Lilan were a little dumbfounded watching this series of professional knowledge discussions.

When did Qin Zhibo know so much about writing novels?

Judging from this posture, you won't really want to develop in the direction of a novelist in the future, right?
If this is the case, Conan still feels a little regretful in his heart.

After all, being a novelist will definitely have an impact on detective work, and Conan still hopes that Qin Zhibo will not waste his talent and be a detective seriously.

As everyone knows, Qin Zhibo's novels are always "written by ghostwriters" and will not be affected at all.

Qin Zhibo and Kinoshita Tomo talked at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, exhausting the patience of Mao Lilan and Conan before finally ending the conversation and going back to their rooms to sleep.

At this time, the president is still alive.
