Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 242 Emperor Sengu II
  Tuesday, April 29th.

Fujiwara drove Xiaolan and Conan to the gate of Morigu Mansion. After parking the car, he took out the invitations and walked into the manor.

After hearing that they were attending on behalf of Kudo Shinichi, the manor staff in front of the door immediately let them in and immediately informed the initiator of the event, Moriko Teiji.

After arriving at the manor, the three of them first admired the magnificent courtyard and villa. The British-style manor seemed less obtrusive at this time, and the double rows of identical gardens corresponded to each other like two sides of a mirror.

This is Moriko Teiji’s symmetrical aesthetics.

If Kogoro Mouri was here, he would definitely praise it, "It is worthy of the architectural style of the Stuart Kingdom in the 17th century." Unfortunately, when he went to investigate the case, Fujiwara did not call him.

After collecting the invitations, Fujiwara took Xiaolan and Conan to the spring for shopping and chatting. Xiaolan looked at the beautiful architecture and was so immersed in it that she couldn't help but dance to express her inner joy.

Seeing that the prelude to detonating the skyscraper has already happened, Fujiwara Xinghai naturally cannot sit still and wait for death. There may or may not be a tea party, but where the gunpowder is placed must be clarified first.

According to the explosion performance in the theatrical version, the yield of the gunpowder is definitely not low. Such a huge amount of gunpowder cannot be removed by Sengu Teer alone, so his helpers should also be paid attention to.

"Yes, that's why I dragged Xiaolan over. How come you don't regret it?" Fujiwara stopped Conan who wanted to put his hand in the pool, and complained that his body has become smaller, will his behavior be as childish as a child?

Conan just wanted to touch the water column in the fountain that seemed to be standing still, but he couldn't say anything after being stopped by Fujiwara Hoshikai. Anyway, he is a child now, and it is normal to do things that only children would do. Bar.

Xiaolan nodded, "What a great place. I have never seen such a beautiful building. Visiting here is indeed the right choice."

"I'm very happy to be praised by you, Miss. It's the first time we meet. I am Sengu Teiji."

After seeing that the person who came was actually a famous architect, Xiaolan was a little surprised and lowered her head to say hello, and introduced the two people next to her to each other.

"Oh, Fujiwara Hoshikai? It's our first time meeting you. Hello."

Seeing the other party hand over his hand very easily, Fujiwara, as a junior, couldn't just watch. So he politely said, "This is the first time we meet. I am Fujiwara Hoshikai, a friend of Kudo Shinichi. He entrusted me to attend this party. These two are my cousin and cousin."

After listening to Fujiwara Hoshikai's description, Moriko Teiji glanced at the three of them thoughtfully, and said casually, "Kudo-kun is indeed very busy, but since you are Kudo Shinichi's friend, there is a high probability that you are too. Are you traveling with him?"

The current intention seems to be to find out the specific identity of Fujiwara.

Although the other party was a villain, Fujiwara still explained his identity very politely, "I am not a talented person. I just wrote a humble work on basic reasoning themes. It is far less shining than Kudo."

"A mystery novelist, it would be nice to know how to guess riddles, hahaha."

"Mr Sengu was joking."

Seeing that the person in the plan had sent a client who seemed to be good at reasoning, Emperor Sengu simply took the three of them to the tea party in the back garden and allowed the three of them to communicate freely while he went to accompany the other guests first.

"okay."

Conan thought about Moriko Teiji's intentions while observing the various people who came to participate in the event. He found that there were not only architects, but also many celebrities and even some parliamentarians and entrepreneurs who only occasionally appeared on TV. Among them, it is obvious that the event is of a large scale, and it is unlikely that it is just an invitation for detectives to test their abilities.

Unlike Conan, Xiaolan's thoughts are much simpler. Looking at the all kinds of tempting desserts, people couldn't bear to eat them. Xiaolan was holding a small cake and couldn't put her mouth down. The reason was that the patterns on the cake were so beautiful.

"What, Xiaolan doesn't like matcha cake?" Fujiwara thought Xiaolan would like it, so he gave her the matcha-colored cake.

Xiaolan shook her head, "I like it, but the cakes here are all handmade. The patterns on them are all different."

At this time, Emperor Sengu happened to pass by after meeting the guests and asked if it suited their appetite. “It’s delicious, but eating it makes you feel guilty.”

"Guilt?"

"Because it's so beautiful that I can't bear to destroy it."

The last time Xiaolan had such a high-end dessert was on the day of Yuanzi's birthday party, the kind of cookies she flew over from France.

"Then you can play slowly. I'm going to tell them to serve tea early."

Seeing Mori Koteiji doing everything by himself, Xiaolan felt amazing. At the same time, she lamented that Shinichi was so proud. Just now she looked around Morigu Teiji and it seemed that he was not so enthusiastic about others.

Little did they know that Moriko Teiji seemed to have good intentions intentionally or unintentionally, but he was actually planning an explosion against Kudo Shinichi.

After admiring the huge castle villa and the magnificent manor, Fujiwara began to plan from the bottom of his heart. After Moriko Teiji was arrested, he would pay to buy this place, transform it into Fujiwara House, and dig a huge swimming pool. , holding pool parties every day.

At this time, a voice interrupted Fujiwara's fantasy. Fujiwara turned around and saw Toya Eiko holding a saucer and teapot looking at him.

"Long time no see, Fujiwara-kun."

"Long time no see, Mr. Toya."

Meeting here was not what either party had expected, so Fujiwara was also surprised to see Eiko Toya here.

At this time in the original work, Toya Eiko was in prison, so it made sense that she was not invited.

"Long time no see, Miss Toya." After seeing an acquaintance, Xiaolan put down the cake in her hand and ran over to say hello.

"Miss Xiaolan is here too. Did you come together?"

"Well, Brother Xinghai brought me and Conan here."

He also had some impressions of Conan, whom he had met once, especially after Xiaolan was invited to be the cover star in May. Conan also learned about Eiko Toya and the magazine under her name from the doctor. What is surprising is that Xiaolan is the only underage cover model in the magazine's more than 20 years of existence.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here. I originally planned to take a rest today, but I didn't expect that we are so destined to be invited at the same time."

After the greetings, Fujiwara asked about the progress of the magazine, and Toya Eiko immediately explained that it had been printed and bound.

"I sent the unreleased May magazine photo album to your email address. Didn't you receive it?"

"Oh, I've been busy with other things these days and haven't had time to check my mailbox. I'm really sorry."

After hearing that it was a topic related to her, Xiaolan asked if she could read it in advance.

"Of course. I'll send you another copy when I get back."

"There's no need to go to such trouble. Xiaolan can just take a copy from me when you get back today."
