Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 75 Waiting for a week

Fujiwara is different from Kogoro. With the advantage of plot, his efficiency is terrifying. Not long after arriving at the racecourse, he found the stable of the horse named Kuai Di Hao Wang, but he heard that the horse was taken away to see a veterinarian by its owner because of intestinal discomfort.

Hearing that the horse was not there, Fujiwara was a little anxious and quickly asked where it was, but the racecourse staff refused because they could not disclose the horse owner's information.

After returning home, Fujiwara was very unconvinced and came to inquire for three days in a row. Only then did he get a little bit of information from the staff.

Some of the horses used in the competition are bred by the betting companies themselves, and some are free-range by customers. They are only brought over to train with the players a few days before the competition. Considering that there may be problems in the race due to external factors, the information of the jockey and horse owner is confidential to the public and will never be disclosed by the racecourse.

Although he had the advantage of the theater, Fujiwara's self-confidence was hit to a certain extent when he learned that he had no way of knowing the horse owner's information.

"Is it possible that I still have to invite Xiaolan over in a week like in the original book, and then let her take everyone to find someone?"

If that's the case, it would be too mediocre and watery. What's the difference between this and watching the original work directly?
  After some questioning, he learned from several people who often came to bet on horse racing that the rider of Kuai Di Hao Wang often met a middle-aged man after the game. That man was probably the Kenzo Hirota that Fujiwara was looking for.

Listening to their descriptions, Fujiwara basically confirmed that the person he was looking for was the one.

"Is there any way to contact the rider himself?"

One of the men in black glanced at Fujiwara and said, "I'm afraid not. Those riders are employees trained by the racecourse themselves, and in order to prevent them from colluding with peripheral betting companies, the riders are completely unable to contact the outside world during the week before the competition. , I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to find someone, but by the way, why do you want the owner of that horse? Could it be that you also have your eye on that horse?”

"That's about right. I think that horse is in good condition."

Seeing that his guess was similar, the man in black recommended several horses he had raised to Fujiwara.

"My horse farm also has several good British thoroughbred horses and Dutch warmblood horses. If you are interested, sir, you can go to my place and have a look."

Fujiwara was not interested in horse racing, he was only interested in one billion yen.

Seeing that Fujiwara was not very interested, the man in black was not disappointed, so he enthusiastically promoted his horse farm. The horse farm would also hold some small competitions regularly, and there would also be "This is my business card, sir, if you are interested" among various horses. You can come and take a look.”

Seeing how enthusiastic the other party was, Fujiwara couldn't refuse directly, so he had to take the business card, thank him and leave.

After walking out of the racecourse, Fujiwara felt a little hungry, so he looked for restaurants along the way.

Sonoko, who was shopping, thought of her recent encounter with Fujiwara Hoshikai and felt inexplicably unhappy. However, she also saw that the other party had no interest in him. He did not answer calls or text messages, so she took this opportunity. Xiang Xiaolan confided in her own experience, "It seems that God didn't intend for me to meet my true destiny so easily. He must have planned to temper me more, which is why my relationship experience has been so bumpy."

Xiaolan, who was checking the fabric, turned back to Sonoko and asked, "How are you and Brother Fujiwara doing?"

"Well, Brother Fujiwara is very nice, but he just doesn't like me."

Xiaolan didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but thinking that Sonoko would give up easily, she persuaded her, "Could it be that you don't know how you feel about each other? Didn't Brother Fujiwara treat you very well last time?"

"Is there any misunderstanding? I won't reply to my text messages now. Maybe he has been playing with such an innocent girl for a long time, so he is no longer interested in me."

Sonoko's words made Xiaolan cover her mouth in shock. Fujiwara Hoshikai doesn't look like this kind of person. What is Sonoko talking about?
  "Is there some misunderstanding or something? Brother Fujiwara is not this kind of person."

"Then why did he refuse to answer the phone and use cold violence on me? Even if he doesn't like me, I'm not the kind of person who's not worthy of close friendship..." ˆˆˆ˜Blocking someone without any warning is such a behavior It was chilling enough. If she hadn't considered that the other party was Xiaolan's 'cousin', she would have almost cursed.

Xiaolan didn't lose her temper when she heard this. She had also experienced the disappearance of people she cared about for no reason. This feeling was really uncomfortable, but Brother Fujiwara still had normal interactions with him, and she had never heard of him being dissatisfied with Sonoko. some type of.
  "Could it be that Sonoko doesn't know Brother Fujiwara's new number?"

Then she realized that Xiaolan remembered that Fujiwara told her about changing her number last time.

"Brother Fujiwara told me last time that his number was leaked and people were calling and harassing her every day, so he wanted to change his mobile phone number..."

"New mobile phone number?" Yuanzi almost fell down when she heard it. After Xiaolan helped her up, she quickly asked, "What's the new number? Why don't I know it?"

"He said that after his number was leaked, people called him every day, so he changed his mobile phone number. This happened for almost two weeks."

"Then why don't you tell me? I thought I was being cold-blooded?"

"I thought you knew." Xiaolan took out her mobile phone and sent Fujiwara Hoshikai's new mobile phone number to Sonoko.

"I was just wondering why Brother Fujiwara suddenly disappeared. It turns out he changed his mobile phone number. No wonder I'm so worried~" Sonoko's originally silvery mood suddenly became as bright as a rainbow after the rain.

"Xiaolan, do you think I should ask Mr. Fujiwara to come out for a drink together?"

"He should be unavailable. Yesterday, the office received a commission. The master and apprentice were looking for people every day. They were very busy."

"Oh, okay, let's make an appointment another day." As soon as Sonoko put down the phone, she felt something was wrong and immediately grabbed Xiaolan's wrist, "No, Xiaolan, why do you know so much about Fujiwara-san's current situation? Do you mean you guys do it every day? Are you on the phone?"

Yuanzi ignored that during this period, the frequency with which she heard about a certain high school detective from Xiaolan's mouth became significantly less frequent. Instead, she heard about things about her 'cousin' and the new boy in the office.

Is this Xiaolan's transfer of love?
  "No, because after I left, my mother was worried that my father would be more unscrupulous and do bad things without restraint, so she asked me to entrust Brother Fujiwara to inquire about my father's current situation, and my mother was also worried about the two people over there. Can the grown man take good care of Conan, so I will call from time to time to ask."

Moreover, Fujiwara will also ask about Xiaolan and the others, because Kogoro is also curious about how the two women who ran away from home are doing.

In the past, the task of reporting on her father's current situation was Xiaolan's, but now that she has left, it naturally falls on Fujiwara.

After Xiaolan's explanation, Sonoko probably understood. It turned out that it was two adults who were too embarrassed to contact each other, so they had to entrust Xiaolan and ask about Fujiwara's situation.

Yuanzi knew about the situation of Xiaolan's parents. They would give each other gifts during the holidays, and they would pay attention to the news about each other on weekdays. However, when they met, they would fight each other like enemies.
  What an odd couple.

Yuanzi came to his senses and ignored the topic. When they finished shopping and walked out of the mall, Yuanzi took the initiative to hold Xiaolan's arm and said, "I'll treat you to dinner."

"Invite me to dinner? Why?" Although Yuanzi's family is rich and can fully afford their arbitrary consumption, Xiaolan does not want to take advantage of this. What she wants is to be a lifelong good friend with Yuanzi.
  "Oh, don't ask, just think of me as thanking you for making me long for love again."

"what???"
