Chapter 611 Karasawa: It’s so cool to be a KY
“That’s right, so you were appreciated by Professor Moritani at the exhibition and were specially invited to attend the tea party... It’s really amazing.”< br>
As they approached, Suzuki Sonoko's somewhat deliberate voice reached their ears, making Conan shiver.
There is actually nothing wrong with the content, and the expression is in line with etiquette. The problem is Suzuki Sonoko's voice, which is called...
To put it simply, it scares people.
"I don't have any extraordinary talents. It's just that Professor Moritani had some disputes with others, so I helped him out a little." The boy with his back to them had a magnetic voice. He shook his head slightly at Suzuki Sonoko's compliment, "It's not about appreciation. It’s not my work that Mr. Moritani likes.”
Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes were fixed on the other person’s face motionlessly, with a spring-like smile on her face: “Being able to participate in Professor Moritani’s conversation. This in itself proves that you are a very capable painter. Don’t be too modest, Kitagawa-kun——"
"No, it was just an unexpected coincidence. Professor Moritani was..."
"What are you talking about, Yusuke." Moritani Teiji, who was originally holding a cup of tea and wanting to chat with some interested parties, stepped over to stand next to the two of them, and directly stretched out his hand to hug them. The boy's shoulder prevented him from continuing, "This is Miss Suzuki Sonoko from the Suzuki Foundation. It's a pleasure to meet you. Your visit today really makes this humble house shine."
He just said You know, this young man with good looks and a very stable look is definitely wrong somewhere in his mind!
The invitation letter I gave to Kitagawa Yusuke was definitely not to let him come and reveal his past. To be more precise, it was just to silence him.
But obviously, this young man with a weird brain circuit did not understand this at all.
Now that I think about it, Kitagawa Yusuke was not helping him at that time. It was basically just a fight between the two sides, and the main one made everyone unhappy.
Moritani Teiji felt subtle regret for his decision, but Conan and others who came to see Sonoko had already walked to Suzuki Sonoko and saw the face of the boy opposite.
"I knew it..." As expected, Conan saw a handsome face with a hint of melancholy, and muttered in a low voice.
Based on the two people's names for this person, this person should be called, Kitagawa Yusuke, right.
"Professor Moritani." Karasawa, who was hugged by the shoulders, made a slightly confused expression, as if he didn't quite understand why Moritani Teiji was suddenly so close, but he still said politely to him. With an honorific, "Thank you for the invitation, this is really a meaningful salon."
Moritani Teiji squinted his eyes and squinted at the young man with his peripheral vision, his mood became more complicated.
What is a very meaningful salon? Haven’t you been eating and eating since you entered the door? You only showed off the cookies on the table for three people.
If Suzuki Sonoko hadn't come up to talk to him with bright eyes after seeing his face, I'm afraid he would still be burying his head at the dining table, eating hard what he had cooked all day long. Various refreshments.
Rather than letting the servants take care of the food, he really prefers to bake by himself.
But his intention in sharing the biscuits was to gain admiration and joy from the faces of the guests, rather than to be swallowed without looking like a cow chewing a peony!
Moritani Teiji gritted his teeth slightly in his heart, but still maintained a gentleman's modesty and calmness on his face: "I think you seem to like these snacks very much, how do you like them, how do you think they taste."
"The taste is very good, it would be better if the portion was larger." Tangze nodded and said bluntly.
This guy...
Moritani Teiji took a deep breath.
Tangze felt the subtle tightening on his shoulders and felt secretly happy in his heart.
This is the happiness of KY. It feels so good to choke people to death regardless of the occasion!
Kitagawa Yusuke, as a poor guy whose brain circuit is somewhat different from ordinary people, who cannot read the air, and who is obsessed with his own creation and study, is really a hypocrite's special attack weapon. Tang who faithfully plays this image Ze quickly felt the fun.
Karasawa, who has always had good emotional intelligence and is good at saving situations, would never have the opportunity to choke like this on weekdays, and Akechi Goro’s main theme of yin and yang is another style, and now he is beating Moritani Teiji After choking, Tang Ze was very happy.
"Kitagawa-kun, are you hungry?" Suzuki Sonoko, who had been looking for an opening to interject, seized the opportunity, "Well, it's not easy to eat enough at the tea party. Otherwise, I'll treat you to dinner later. ?”
When she blurted out one sentence, she felt that her purpose was too obvious. She tidied her hair on the temples in a concealed manner and put on her reserved smile again: “Kitagawa-kun and I were having a great chat just now. Well, I think we can communicate more.”
“I’ll trouble you then.” Upon hearing the word “treat,” Tang Ze immediately looked over and agreed without hesitation.
Standing aside, Moritani Teiji was stunned and listened: "..."
He had anticipated the possibility that Kitagawa Yusuke would attract a rich wife or a rich lady because of his outstanding appearance. But in just a few words, I hooked up with a real rich man, and the reason was because I didn't have a meal. This is too...
Conan saw a subtle confusion on his face that said, "You can catch fish with a straight hook." He coughed to hide his almost uncontrollable smile.
Okay, although this conversation is really funny, after all, the other person is a stranger, and Yuanzi will always attract some less serious attention from the opposite sex for no reason. I still have to leave for this handsome guy. Friends who don’t know the truth can find out clearly.
He raised his hand and grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's sleeves, interrupted Suzuki Sonoko, whose eyes were shining, and was about to say "Then let's leave now", and asked in a child's tone : "Brother, you haven't eaten for a long time. Why do you come to the tea party to eat?"
Those who can participate in the Moriya Teiji Tea Party are not necessarily rich or noble, but they are in the industry. People who can still eat well can't afford to eat no matter what, right? Why does it seem like you can seduce him with just one meal? Is this a golden retriever?
"Yes, I haven't eaten for a long time." Facing the looks of several people, Tang Ze said calmly, "It's been about two days."
Moritani Teiji turned to look at his expression, and found that he looked serious. He couldn't help being shocked: "...When I asked you before, didn't you say that because of welfare funds, scholarships and sponsorships, you can still maintain it? Do you live and study?”
“Yes, but I bought a new batch of paint the day before yesterday, and I don’t have much money anymore.”
“Since I can’t even eat, I still have to take care of it first. Body, Yusuke."
"Well, the main thing is to create good works in the past few days to participate in the grand prize. If you don't buy paint, you will miss the submission time."
Moritani Teiji has nothing to do with him. They looked at each other for a moment, feeling speechless for a while.
"This is..." Mouri Kogoro, who wandered around without even finding a mouthful of alcohol-filled chocolate, saw his daughter gathering with a few people and walking over with a cup of tea.
"This is Kitagawa Yusuke, a kid I met by chance. He is quite talented in painting and is a very good young man." Moritani Teiji patted him twice with a pretense of familiarity. shoulder, "So I specially invited him to attend today's tea party. Oh, I hope I didn't offend you, Miss Suzuki."
Halfway through his words, his eyes turned to Suzuki Sonoko again.
What he said contained some hints.
No one was called out. Apart from his name, there was only a compliment about his talent. In addition, the other party had just revealed the problem of life constraints. Some rich ladies who knew this well, when they heard this, they Already understood that this is a young man who can be easily controlled.
To be so quick to focus on Kitagawa Yusuke, his appearance must be very suitable for this young lady.
Moritani Teiji looked at Suzuki Sonoko opposite, and found out silently that Suzuki Sonoko just glanced at him casually, and then fixed his gaze on Kitagawa Yusuke's face, with the smile still hanging on his face. It was like he wasn't even listening to what he was saying.
... He remembers, isn't this the rumored Suzuki heir who is likely to take a top spot?
"Nice to meet you." Karasawa pretended not to understand anything and shook hands with Mouri Kogoro.
"You're here just in time, Mr. Mori." Moritani Teiji took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "I have a small entertainment program here. I wonder if you are interested in participating."< br>
He handed the paper in his hand to Mouri Kogoro, and at the same time, he did not forget to hold on to Kitagawa Yusuke with one hand.
This kid is like a starving ghost reincarnated, but don’t turn around and go to the dining table to eat snacks, and then with a smooth word, he spread the debate about the past few days.
This is his private salon. The people who come are either related practitioners who have a friendly relationship with him, or people he hopes to get closer to. What strange rumors are spreading here? His noble Don't even want fame.
Moreover, if it is discovered that he has been arguing with people in public over aesthetic issues, it will be bad if he is associated with other works of his in the future when accidents occur.
"What is this?" Mouri Kogoro took the paper he handed over and frowned when he saw the names and numbers on it.
"Oh, this is a small puzzle." Moritani Teiji smiled, "I recently had to help the company that three people run together to deduce a pass code. Since you are the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, you must be able to figure it out right away. It can be unlocked."
Mouri Kogoro stared at the piece of paper for a few seconds and coughed twice: "So, what is the password hint?"
" Well, it is a noun composed of the names of these three operators, with a total of five hiragana." Moritani Teiji, who gave the complete mystery, turned his head and looked at other people in the field, "You can also do it. Let’s think about it together. The time limit is three minutes, and I will give some special gifts to those who answer correctly.”
The maid who was standing in the garden was pouring tea and setting out the meal. With a signal, the puzzle was distributed to other people in the tea party, and everyone in the garden began to look at the piece of paper in their hands.
"Why does the architect's tea party also involve guessing..." Suzuki Sonoko muttered, catching a glimpse of Kitagawa Yusuke who was still looking at the dining table, rolled his eyes, and took two steps closer to him. , "Kitagawa-kun, it's such a difficult question. Do you have any ideas?" "Let me see."
Seeing that Kitagawa Yusuke naturally took the paper handed over by Suzuki Sonoko, Moritani Teiji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the hourglass prepared in advance, and gently turned it over.
"Everyone has finished reading the question, the countdown has begun."
"Well, blood type, height, name and age have nothing to do with each other..."
"I can't think of anything, and there are too few hints."
"Is it some kind of hidden word puzzle?"
The guests held the papers in their hands and communicated quietly with acquaintances. Moritani Teiji, who breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his pipe and stood aside. I struck the match silently.
His plan was about to be implemented, but the guy he wanted to target did not show up at his tea party as scheduled. This made Moritani Teiji, who always liked to follow plans and strictly implement them, a little nervous.
Fortunately, a girl who is suspected of being Kudo Shinichi’s girlfriend came here, which might be more effective than directly finding Kudo Shinichi himself.
Let him feel the pain of having his beloved taken away, which may be more effective than directly hurting him himself.
The fine white gravel in the hourglass slowly drained away, and many guests who could not think of a clue silently put down their hands.
"I can't believe it. I'm really bad at solving puzzles."
"Forget it, let the experts solve it."
"Yes. Ah, as a famous detective, it should be easy to solve this problem, right?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Mouri Kogoro.
Mouri Kogoro tightened his grip on the paper in his hand, his face tightened, and he stared at the words on the paper, sweating slightly on his forehead.
Really, who stipulates that detectives must be able to solve puzzles? The job of a detective is to solve cases. Many cases have nothing to do with puzzles, okay...
Ah, this is the answer The question is really outrageous. Moritani Teiji invited Kudo boy here. Could it be that he was testing him for the debut question and wanted to embarrass him? You shouldn't have done this for that brat.
He looked at the children standing opposite.
Conan looked at the question in his hand thoughtfully, Mao Lilan looked at him with a worried look, Suzuki Sonoko put her arm around Kitagawa Yusuke, came to his side and looked at the question with him, and Kitagawa Yusuke ……
Kitagawa Yusuke held a piece of butterfly cake in his mouth and a pencil in his hand, scribbling something on the back of the title.
Just looking at the way he holds the pen, it doesn't look like he is writing down some ideas for solving the problem. He is simply drawing on the back of the answer sheet!
Over there, Conan whispered a few words into Mao Lilan's ear. After Mao Lilan confirmed again, he nodded vigorously.
"Okay..." After writing three words on the paper, Mao Lilan quietly bumped his father's arm and replaced the paper in his hand.
Moori Kogoro was stunned for a moment. He looked down at what his daughter had stuffed in his hand. After recognizing the handwriting for a while, he hesitated and read out: "...Momotaro?"
Moritani Teiji, who was smoking his pipe with his back turned, paused, turned his head, and looked at Mouri Kogoro up and down for a while.
Looking at the way this man talked, he originally thought he was just an ordinary detective who had never seen the world, but now he looks like he is not completely a fool...
As expected, Kudo Shinichi is very likely I have understood the provocative meaning in his invitation, and I will not randomly send a loser to deal with him.
That's good. If the opponent has no reaction or consciousness, then his design that no one appreciates will be too lonely.
“Correct answer.” After adjusting his expression, Moritani Teiji slowly smiled and clapped his hands softly, “As expected of a famous detective, Mr. Mori, I am the one who mastered the tricks in my class.”
Amid the applause of the audience, Mouri Kogoro glanced at his daughter and Conan behind him, barely straightened his back, and nodded pretending to be calm.
Moritani Teiji smiled and made a guiding gesture: "Please come to my exhibition room with me, and I will give you a gift."
He glanced at Conan and pulled him Mao Lilan, who was muttering something under her breath, added: "This young lady and my little brother can also come and have a look together. My exhibition room is not open to the public at any time."
"Okay!" Mao Lilan, who was a little hesitant because of the substitute fight, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words.
No matter what Mr. Moritani gave to Dad, he should give it to Conan. If Conan hadn't helped, Dad would have made a big fool of himself in front of these celebrities today.
Conan, who was smiling, followed without any burden.
After confirming the various behaviors of the organization, his current mentality has been tempered, and he feels that he has passed the state of wanting to be limelight in everything.
The interesting thing about solving puzzles is the puzzle itself. As for the praise related to it...
Now that you have made the decision to hide behind the scenes, you have to make sacrifices.
Before leaving the garden, Conan, who thought of something, turned his head and glanced at Suzuki Sonoko, who was still at the table.
I saw Suzuki Sonoko pulling Kitagawa Yusuke and talking happily, showing no interest in what happened here. Naturally, I didn't see them cheating by secretly reporting the answers.
...No matter, everyone has his own fun, which is also a good thing.
Suzuki Sonoko took the paper on which the drawing was done and looked at the sketch on the paper with a look of surprise: "Ah, the drawing is really good, Kitagawa-kun, thank you!"
After taking her question and just looking at it, Kitagawa Yusuke said without hesitation: "I can't understand, I can't understand."
Before Suzuki Sonoko became embarrassed, he picked it up again Moritani Teiji's servants gave him a pencil, turned the paper over, and said, "Since you don't know how to do it, forget it, but it's just right, so I have paper. Thank you for inviting me to dinner, and I'll draw for you." Zhang Hua?”
Suzuki Sonoko was very surprised when she got a sketch of her profile.
Although it was just a simple exercise that could be done in two or three minutes, and although it was just an uncomplicated sketch, it was still the first gift she got from a handsome guy. also!
Oh, Karasawa’s gift does not count.
Although Tang Ze is also a handsome guy, her heart skipped a beat when she received the souvenir for the first time, but she soon discovered that Tang Ze was a habitual giver of gifts, not only to herself, but also to Xiaolan, When everyone, including Conan's little brat, even Uncle Mouri, Dr. Ari, and Conan's classmates, had a share, her mood became very dull.
It's not that the gifts are not good. Tang Ze is very careful when giving gifts and takes into account everyone's preferences. However, this kind of large-scale gift giving leaves no chance for people to think about it.
It's really a waste of time to see that face, not even a bit of material for dreaming.
The moved Suzuki Sonoko quickly reciprocated the favor: "You told me before that you were a disciple of Mr. Kisaragi Hosui, right?"
"It can't be counted, I can only count it as a reward. Ordinary students who are studying with the teacher."
"It's the same, come on!" Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Kitagawa Yusuke's arm, "I know a few people who are doing special funds... You said before, You want to participate in the Grand Prize, right?”
“Yes, if I don’t get the ranking, my scholarship will be cancelled.”
"That's just right. Let's go for a walk. I'll introduce you to a few people!"
"Excuse me, Miss Suzuki."
Let Suzuki Sonoko drag her forward, Tang Ze, who felt that his character was not broken at all, gave himself a thumbs up with great satisfaction.
Who said that being a KY means you can’t develop a vest background? Don't look down on people, they are the kings of connections in the wild!
