The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 206: The Crossroads of the Maze 21

Although Conan and Hattori Heiji brought the good news that Rinshakuha was still safe, everyone didn't feel relieved until they actually saw him in the restaurant at noon.

"I'm sorry for making everyone worry." Lin Chiyu pulled out a chair and sat down, facing the concerned eyes of a group of people, with an apologetic tone.

"That's good, that's good." The patriarch stroked his beard and said with a smile.

“However, the servants in the house still need to be retrained. The master fainted in the room for such a long time and no one noticed it. It was only discovered by the two children who were guests.” Fujiwara Takakata frowned, thinking that the servants in the house were too ignorant.

Lin Chiyu shook his head and said something to help: "Before, they always called me at 8 o'clock, but my schedule is irregular, so I told them not to call me specifically from now on."

Iros jumped onto the dining table gracefully with a cat's gait, lightly avoiding the plates and bowls, then jumped onto Lin Chiyu's shoulder, looking down on everyone from a high position because no one could see him.

Then, its whiskers trembled slightly, and it jumped from Rinchiha's left shoulder to the other shoulder, avoiding Fujiwara Kaoru who had just put down her bowl and chopsticks and was moving towards this side while wiping her mouth.

The little girl gently pulled his sleeve, and when Lin Chiyu looked over, she whispered in his ear: "Brother Chiyu, can you take me away this afternoon? Father found out that I skipped class last night, so he arranged twice as many classes for me today, and it's the most boring Chinese painting class!!"

As she spoke, she pouted her lips in grievance, trying to cover up the truth, and glanced in his direction as if she was afraid that Mr. Guifang would not notice.

Fujiwara Takakata calmly put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and said slowly: "Xianghua, who taught you to be so rude? I think your etiquette lessons were in vain, right?"

Fujiwara Kaka immediately jumped up, stood at attention, folded her hands together, pressed her hands to her abdomen and bowed.

"I am so sorry, Father."

Rin Chiyu picked up the wet wipes beside her and wiped the little girl's mouth. At the same time, she comforted Fujiwara Takakata in her hopeful eyes: "Mr. Takakata doesn't have to be so angry. It's good for Xianghua to be more lively at her age. Etiquette can be learned slowly."

He didn't really want the little girl to be tied down. It would be fine if the skills were practical and useful, but there was no need to be too hasty about things like etiquette.

After all, the reason why a lady from a noble family is a lady from a noble family is not because she is a lady, but because she comes from a noble family.

There are delicate ways to raise a pet, and there are bold ways to raise a pet.

Suzuki Sonoko is a good example.

Suzuki Sonoko was happily stuffing a goose leg into her mouth at the dining table, when she suddenly saw Chiba-ge glance at her inexplicably, and she felt something strange.

Lin Chiyu withdrew his gaze and put the dirty wipes aside.

Speaking of which, these families in Kyoto are really interesting. The heirs that Shiratori and Ayanokouji carefully trained went to the police academy halfway through their careers, and they did not go through family channels, but really took the bottom route, starting as patrollers, and slowly worked their way up to become police captains today.

The eldest daughter of the Ooka family was even more "playful and disillusioned" and started playing karuta.

Not to mention the Fujiwara family. Their mother, Fujiwara Mio, who was the heir, got married before she succeeded to the throne. After the marriage, she ran away from home and went to the other side of the ocean to debut as a star...

In short, he didn't feel that this so-called "heir to a wealthy family" was anything special.

So even though Fujiwara Kaka is the only daughter of the head of the family, Mr. Kikata, he doesn't feel that she should be under any pressure to take on any responsibilities.

Children should just live like children. Adults are not dead, so they just need to grow up normally.

"Then I'll take Xianghua with me this afternoon. I can watch Mr. Maori's reasoning and solving cases up close, which can also be considered as a way to broaden my horizons."

"As for the courses, let the teachers adjust them according to the situation. After all, it is their job to teach according to the schedule of the host family. If they can only teach according to a rigid plan, then there is no point in hiring them."

Rinshakuha managed to win Fujiwara Kaoru's freedom in just a few moves, and Fujiwara Takakata not only did not refuse, but instead became thoughtful.

"Indeed, if we can't adapt to the situation and teach students according to their aptitude, it would be better to let Xianghua learn on her own with the computer." Fujiwara Takakata nodded, tacitly agreeing to the little girl's afternoon off.

Fujiwara Kaka looked up happily at Rin Shakuha.

Too bad!

Bro, you are awesome!

Look how I fooled my dad!

She once again confirmed that Brother Chiyu was the life role model she aspired to be!

After dinner, Fujiwara Takashi arranged a car to take them there.

The two girls, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha, thanked them very politely, while Suzuki Sonoko put her arm around the head of the clan and said goodbye like a brother.

The patriarch was also smiling. He didn't seem angry. Instead, he liked this carefree girl.

"Thank you for your hospitality. We will take our leave now." Uncle Mori said goodbye to Fujiwara no Takakata, the clan leader and the old butler who were seeing them off.

"Uncle, please get in the car!" Hattori Heiji waved through the car window with an accent.

"You disrespectful little brat..." Uncle Maori muttered and opened the car door while cursing.

......

Although the "Genji Hotaru" case was ultimately handled by the Kyoto Prefectural Metropolitan Police Department, two of the cases occurred in the Osaka and Tokyo areas, so the Metropolitan Police Departments of both areas also sent personnel to assist in the investigation.

Among them are Officer Otaki from the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department and Officer Shiratori from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Therefore, the two highly prestigious detectives, Hattori Heiji and Uncle Mori, naturally had the opportunity to take charge of the case, not to mention that they were one of the eyewitnesses of the last case.

So everyone was invited to Mizuo's house to follow up on the police's investigation.

The suspects Harutaro Mizuo, Taikawa Nishijo, monk Ryuen, as well as the madam Ms. Yamakura and the prostitute Ms. Chiga Ling who were also at the izakaya at the time were notified to come early and were ready to be questioned about their alibi and timeline.

According to their answers, they couldn't remember clearly about the previous cases because it was a long time ago, so they couldn't give a clear alibi, but everyone was present at the final murder of Mr. Sakura Masazo in the izakaya, so the timeline was relatively detailed.

However, several of them had left the private room during the journey, and without confirming the murder weapon and the time of the crime, questioning them in this regard would not yield any results.

Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered that when he was first assassinated, the mysterious man used a bow and arrow, and his archery skills were extremely superb. He suddenly had an idea and asked several people with some doubt if they had any experience in archery.
