Chapter 161: The Battle of the Reasoning King (1)
On this hot summer afternoon, Hua Lantian had just laid down on the sofa and was about to relax when he received a message. He opened it and saw that it was from Ayako:
Honey, we're having dinner out tonight. Xiaolan has already sent me a message saying Uncle Maori is treating. At 4 o'clock, you can drive to Maori Detective Agency by yourself...
Hua Lantian smacked his lips, feeling something was amiss. Maori Kogoro was treating everyone, so it seemed like a murder was about to happen. But it seemed there wasn't any such murder...
He thought about it and decided not to refuse the uncle's kindness. He decided to buy him a bottle of high-end foreign liquor after he woke up from his nap to cheer him up. He himself didn't drink much of it, so he didn't have any at home...
After taking a short nap for forty-five minutes (I heard that this is the best time for a nap, sleeping too much is not good...), Hua Lantian washed up and looked at the time. It was only about half past two. He drank some tea casually, which was enough for today's afternoon tea, and then went out.
After buying the foreign liquor, he drove to the parking lot near the Maori Detective Agency, parked the car, and then walked to the Maori Detective Agency.
Downstairs, Hua Lantian vaguely heard Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan talking to two familiar voices. He immediately felt that this incident would not be simple. After all, Conan hadn't returned home yet...
He walked quickly up the stairs. The closer he got, the clearer he could hear. It was the voice of Osaka Kurokichi and his childhood sweetheart Toyama Kazuha.
After knocking on the door, what caught his eye were, as expected, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, who had already seen him and had been the first to cheer him up and greet him.
The arrow has already been launched, and it has to be shot. Since he has come here, he can't just turn around and leave without saying hello. Hua Lantian greeted Xiaolan politely, and then asked Xiaolan not to be so polite and not prepare tea for him, as he had already drunk it.
Xiaolan agreed very readily. The mothers sat down, fiddling with their spoons, and began to chat and drink.
It was four o'clock and Ayako knocked on the door of the office. Now everyone was waiting for Conan to finish class and go home. Among them, Hua Lantian did not give up asking indirectly to see if he could find out what Conan was doing in Tokyo.
Unfortunately, Hattori Heiji didn't buy it at all. He just wanted to wait for his good friend to come home and talk about it together. Hua Lantian was speechless about this...
The scene turns to the other side, where Conan has already bought the new book he had been longing for, and is jumping on the street. He can't wait to go home early to enjoy the pleasure of reading.
Under the temptation of reading, Conan swept away his past decadence and wanted to jump three feet high. Soon he arrived downstairs of Maori Detective Agency, but he instinctively felt something was wrong.
Before he could react, at Hua Lantian's instigation, Hattori Heiji went to the window with him to observe the pedestrians on the road, so as to catch Conan as soon as he returned home.
"Look, Conan is back...!"
Hattori Heiji excitedly pointed at Conan downstairs and said this. Hua Lantian suddenly felt something was wrong. This would definitely bring Conan back. Fortunately, Conan didn't hear, giving the two of them plenty of room to maneuver. …
At 5:30 in the evening, a large family of men and women sat in an Italian restaurant. They had obviously finished their meal, but they were still discussing what to go to: the Takarazuka Show or the Koshien Games...
