Conan Moslin

Chapter 256: Legend of the Red Line (3) Visit

The word Teaser actually has multiple meanings. As a nickname in the forum, it means "teaser", which is a somewhat frivolous name, but most of the guys gathered here don't care about it.

What they value is its other meaning - "a thorny problem", or a difficult problem.

Of course, the little test proposed by Teiji Moriya is not a difficult problem.

Except for Kurian who accidentally saw the answer in advance, Conan quickly raised the paper in his hand and solved the answer before Mouri Kogoro in just one and a half minutes.

The names, blood types, birthdays, and hobbies of the characters in the question are completely different, except that their birthdays are one year apart. The zodiac signs of the three people are Shen, You, and Xu, respectively, and they are the followers of the character in this answer.

Moriya Teiji, who had just taken a match to light his pipe, looked back at this clever child with an expression of astonishment, then led the people around him to applaud him, and invited Conan, who had answered the question, to enter the exhibition room for a visit, and also invited Mouri Ran to join him.

Kogoro Mori, who failed to answer the question, was left behind, which made him quite angry and embarrassed, but of course it was of no use.

Regardless of whether the people at the tea party were really looking forward to it or not, their faces were full of envy.

Watching the two people go in, Youzi said in a very low voice: "Sister Li An, you obviously know the answer..."

……

After entering the exhibition room, Ran Mouri and Conan looked around curiously.

There are many photos of architectural works in the spacious and bright hall. Each building is very distinctive and reflects the passion of this 47-year-old architect.

Mao Lilan noticed one of the paintings: "Is this... Mr. Kurokawa's house?"

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Kurokawa was murdered." Moriya Teiji seemed to have heard about this.

Long ago, the sleeping Maori Kogoro cracked a revenge murder case of an entrepreneur, and the victim was the owner of this house, Mr. Kurokawa. The murderer was his maid, whose motive was revenge for her husband who died due to Kurokawa's drunken surgery.

"I remember the news some time ago said... Kurokawa's house was set on fire..." Mao Lilan felt sorry for this, "It turns out that this house was also your work... What a pity..."

"This house was actually designed by me shortly after I started my own business." Moriya Teiji did not seem to be so regretful, but continued to explain to her, "The works after that were also designed by me when I was in my thirties."

"After all, I wasn't mature enough when I was young..."

Conan looked around the works and was surprised to see a long winding bridge.

He even designed a bridge...

"By the way, Miss Xiaolan, are you very familiar with Kudo Shinichi?" Moriya Teiji asked casually.

"Yes, we grew up together and were high school classmates..." Mao Lilan was silent for a few seconds before whispering, "But we haven't seen each other for a long time now."

In fact, the diplomat incident happened not long ago, but although "Kudo Shinichi" appeared briefly that day, there was no report on it from the outside world.

Given that Mao Lilan had met him that day, the definition of "a long time" became very subtle.

"But, this Sunday is Shinichi's, no, it's his birthday, and I had planned to go to the movies with him."

The movie she was talking about should be "The Legend of the Red Line", right?

Conan thought of the poster in the magazine.

"Oh? That's really exciting. You must have bought the presents, right?"

"No... I want to buy it on Saturday. Because he likes red as much as I do, and our lucky color for May is also red! So I plan to..." She covered her mouth as if she had thought of something and smiled, "I haven't decided what to buy yet!"

"I understand. Of course, the gifts given out must be kept secret." Moriya Teiji smiled as if he understood. "I think Kudo will be very happy."

"Ok!"

Moriya Teiji asked again: "Have you decided on a place to watch the movie?"

"Yes, I have already made plans. It's at the Mihua Municipal Building. I plan to meet him in the lobby at nine o'clock in the evening." She seemed a little embarrassed. "I'm not sure if he will come..."

There was no way he could come.

"Is that so... That building is my masterpiece." Moriya Teiji certainly didn't know what the two were thinking. He took them to one of the photos, which was the Beika Municipal Building that Mao Lilan mentioned. "If a young couple wants to celebrate their birthday... There is no better place than here."

Moriya Teiji narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.

"He will definitely come."

……

After the tea party, Yuko's driver took Li An back to Trojan Village, and Yuko followed him in very naturally.

The driver was no longer surprised that Youzi used Muma Village as her second base. He just asked when she would pick her up, reminded her to contact him in advance, and then drove the empty car back to Kongmu's house.

As soon as the two opened the door and entered the entrance hall, they unexpectedly heard the serious voice of Kogoro Mouri.

"This place seems to have clues to collect, shall we explore it carefully?"

"We can finally start exploring!" Aso Jun's voice followed, "Ai, how about you give it a try?"

"Um... well."

"We have to hurry! The hint says that if Mr. Kogoro falls asleep, he won't be able to complete the game!"

"I see."

As soon as Xiao Ai took the game controller, a curious voice rang out beside her: "What game are you two playing? I don't think I've seen it before..."

"Sister Yuko is back too?" Perhaps because the music from the game was a little too loud, Aso Jun didn't notice the sound of the door opening. She turned around and asked, "Where's Sister Li An?"

"She went to put away her luggage."

Li An put the suitcase back into his room and quickly walked into the living room from the study.

As soon as I closed the door, I heard Jun Aso's explanation: "This is a mystery game that will be released half a month after Mantiantang. It's a test version I got from my grandfather."

Aso Jun's grandfather was the old butler of the Gu family and stayed there most of the time.

The little girl of the Tani family, Tani Akiko, has become interested in reasoning games, and Chairman Tani also supports the cooperation between Kogoro and Mantendo, so it is not surprising that Aso Butler got the beta version of the game in advance.

"Interesting... Then I'll come too..."

"Youzi, don't compete with them." Li An glanced at the game screen casually, with a determined look, "They won't make it through this round."

"How could this be... we just passed..."

Aso Jun was about to refute when he saw Maori Kogoro, who took up one-third of the screen, sitting at a table with his chin supported by his hands. He had fallen into a deep sleep.

As the words "Game Over" gradually appeared on the screen, Li An's voice continued to sound.

"I'll tell you what? Come on, who's going to help me prepare dinner?"

"Let me do it." Yuko left the game and stood up quickly. "Forget about Xiaochun. Even if her hands are intact, she can't cook well."

"No way! I clearly..."

"Don't hide it. Tell me, didn't you take Xiao Ai to eat at a restaurant these days?" Li An obviously knew her very well. He didn't ask her for confirmation. Instead, he looked at Huiyuan Ai with a smile and said, "Xiao Ai, tell me, isn't it?"

Huihara Ai suppressed her smile and nodded very consciously: "I remember the first night I came back, the ramen shop I was going to was closed due to an accident, so I had to eat the bento from the convenience store."

"It's really not true, Sister Li An! I just want to go to the nearby arcade... Let me explain!"

"Is this how you treat a wounded patient like me?!"

"Hahaha--"

It was a rare occasion for the owner of Trojan Horse Manor and her three tenants to get together, and the dinner that day was obviously very lively.
