Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

The next morning, Taro Jouno taught Azusa Enomoto how to run a blog.

After lunch, Taro Jouno left Xiaobai and set off for the party.

The place was a villa located on the mountain. It was not difficult to find it, after all, there was only one way to get there, but the trouble was how to get there.

It was obviously not appropriate to take Kogoro Maori's car. Although he needed to take Ran Maori and Suzuki Sonoko there, he probably wouldn't refuse to take one more person.

But the problem was that he couldn't explain why he happened to go to the party and knew in advance that Suzuki Sonoko and Ran Maori would go. In this way, he would definitely be misunderstood as the kind of guy who loves to snoop on other people's privacy on the Internet.

Taking a taxi is of course an option, but the taxi fare in Japan is ridiculously expensive, and the destination is still in a remote mountain. Even if you can find a driver willing to make this trip, the cost will definitely be terrifyingly high.

So, after thinking about it, Taro Jouno decided to rent a car, which would be much more convenient.

…

The deep mountains, snowfields, suspension bridges and villas, these elements are perfectly integrated to form a classic snowstorm mountain villa scene.

Imagine that as long as someone destroys the suspension bridge with a fire or a knife, the people in the villa will be trapped and unable to escape in a short time, which provides a perfect opportunity for criminals with bad intentions to commit crimes.

Fortunately, the suspension bridge is not big and the car can't pass through it at all. Otherwise, Taro Jouno would really have to struggle for a long time: if he drives across the bridge, if the suspension bridge is burned, it will take time to rebuild it and the return of the car will be delayed; if he doesn't drive, he is afraid of being regarded as a suspect of burning the bridge. It's really a dilemma.

After crossing the suspension bridge, he soon saw a three-story villa.

"Hello! I'm here to attend the party!" Taro Jouno knocked on the door of the villa.

"Welcome, welcome!" The owner of the villa, Ara Yoshinori, greeted with a smile on his face, "Please come in, I am Ara Yoshinori, the owner of this holiday cottage. In the chat group, I am called 'The Silent Ventriloquist'. Who are you?"

Taro Jouno was about to introduce himself, but a girl wearing big-framed glasses behind Ara Yoshinori spoke first: "Let me guess!"

As she said, she began to count on her fingers, "The ones who haven't arrived yet are the magician's apprentice, the shadow mage, the escape king, and a strange guy without a name..."

Taro Jouno raised his hands in surrender when he heard it, "Don't guess, don't guess, I am a strange guy without a name."

The group walked in with laughter.

"How did you do it?" A more mature woman asked in confusion, "You suddenly said you were going to the party that day, and we were all shocked. There was such a mysterious person in the group, and he didn't even have a name. I even went to ask the founder of the chat room, Escape King, and he didn't know when you joined."

"Magicians don't easily reveal their magic tricks." Jiono Taro smiled and replied: "This is my masterpiece. Keeping a sense of mystery is the essence of magic."

"Yes, I totally agree." A young fat man came down from upstairs and smiled kindly, "I am the red herring, and my name is Doi Takeki."

Jiono Taro glanced at the appearance of Kuroba Kaito after his disguise, and was secretly amazed in his heart that this disguise was really seamless, "My real name is Jiono Taro. They all thought I was a girl. "A deeper man with a darker color said with a smile," By the way, you said in the chat room to show us a superb magic, let us open the eyes, won't it be this mysterious identity? " Watching "Tucker Tuchu said with a smile." Well, I also look forward to that moment. He quickly found an excuse and hurried up to the second floor to check his disguise, while Jyouno Taro continued to chat with everyone in the hall.

Not long after, Suzuki Sonoko came knocking on the door with Maori Kogoro, Maori Ran and Conan.

Jyouno Taro did not rush to join in the fun, but waited until the people at the entrance finished introducing themselves before leisurely walking over..

"That... Doi..." Suzuki Sonoko asked expectantly, "Oh no, 'Red Herring', hasn't he arrived yet?"

"He's already here, and he's on the second floor now." Tanaka Kikue replied.

Kuroda Naoko turned around when she heard the noise and greeted with a smile, "Ah, here he comes!"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the stairs with expectation until she saw the round "Doi Takeshu" coming down, and her face instantly became stiff.

"You are the magician's apprentice, right?" Kuroba Kaito (disguised as Doi Takeshu) greeted with a smile, "I am Doi Takeshu!"

"No way..." Suzuki Sonoko muttered to herself, and the image of the handsome guy she imagined... was shattered just like that!

"I knew you were a girl, great!" Kuroba Kaito was still smiling, but his eyes could not help but glance at Jionno Taro beside him. He had just checked that his disguise was fine, so what did this guy who didn't even have a name on the Internet mean by looking at him just now?

Suzuki Sonoko could only laugh awkwardly.

"Oh, by the way, the guy without a name is here too." Kuroda Naoko turned around and saw Jionno Taro coming out, and smiled and teased, "We were all shocked in the group before, but I didn't expect to find him a little ordinary when I saw him in person in real life."

"Huh~ Taro brother?" Mao Lilan was stunned when she saw Jionno Taro appear, "Why is Taro brother here?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was a little disappointed because her dream of being a handsome guy was shattered, was stunned when she heard Mao Lilan's words, looked at Jionno Taro, and looked carefully before recognizing that this was not the owner of the coffee shop downstairs from Mao Lilan? Why is he here? This is a gathering of magicians!

Taro Jouno also showed a hint of surprise, "It's Ran, why are you here too? And Conan and Uncle Maori, why are they all here?"

Ran Maori quickly waved her hand and explained, "Oh, I came here with Sonoko, Conan and his father will go back later."

Ara Yoshinori and the others were a little surprised to hear that they knew each other, and asked curiously, "Did you know each other before?"

Taro Jouno explained, "I opened a cafe, and these three are my neighbors upstairs, detective Maori Kogoro from the Maori Detective Agency, his daughter Maori Ran, and Edogawa Conan who is temporarily living in the Maori family."

"Hehe." Conan, who was originally surprised by the appearance of Taro Jouno, was speechless. Can you remove his modifiers and just introduce him by his name!

"I see, it's a small world." Araki looked thoughtful and turned his gaze to Maori Kogoro outside the door: "Is this the famous detective Maori Kogoro?"

"Hahaha, that's right, I am the famous detective Maori Kogoro. I didn't expect that someone in this deep mountain knows my name." Maori Kogoro smiled for a while, then said to Jyouno Taro who suddenly appeared: "Since you are here, Taro, I am relieved. Remember to take good care of Xiaolan for me!"

After that, he bent down to pick up Conan and turned back.
