Establishing the Teyvat Organization in KO
Chapter 74: Dinner at the Annex
"Mr. Morikawa knows a lot. I'm a little curious about Mr. Morikawa's identity. How do you know something that should be kept strictly confidential?" Hakuba asked directly about Morikawa's identity. He was becoming more and more suspicious of this man who suddenly appeared. You know, as the son of the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department, he didn't know as much as Mr. Morikawa did.
"As long as people live long enough, they will naturally know many things." Morikawa Shiro did not directly answer Bai Ba Tan's question, but gave an answer that was not really an answer.
Bai Ba Tan saw that Morikawa Bai was unwilling to say more, and knew that he would not get any results by asking more, so he dropped the question for the time being.
The group arrived at the restaurant and found that the table was already set, and in front of the tableware there were nameplates with their respective names on them.
However, there is a rather embarrassing thing now. Since Morikawa arrived unexpectedly, Okami Zhushan, who was in charge of dinner, did not know that there was such an extra person. The maid also apologized to Morikawa on the side. She forgot to tell Okami Zhushan that there was an extra person, so there was one less dinner prepared according to the number of people.
The tableware and chairs were easy to deal with. The maid, Aki Ishihara, said that another portion could be brought over, but there was no extra portion for dinner.
"Well, I can share some of my dinner with Morikawa. I'm a girl, so it's okay for me to eat less at night." Xia Xi looked at Morikawa's depressed look and couldn't bear to see him go hungry at night, so she offered to share some with him.
Mao Lilan also said that she had no appetite at the moment and could share some of her food.
Conan felt unhappy when he saw Xiaolan was going to share part of her dinner with a stranger. He took the initiative to say that he was a child and didn't need to eat so much at night, so he could share some of it with the uncle.
Morikawa blinked and rejected Xia Xi and Mao Lilan's proposal: "How can I, a grown man, have the nerve to snatch food from girls? This little kid can't eat that much, so I'll share it with him. It's okay if he eats less at night."
After hearing what Morikawa said, Conan was speechless: Haha, if you are too embarrassed to rob girls, you should just rob children.
The dinner problem was solved, and everyone finally had time to observe what the host looked like sitting in the middle of the restaurant.
The man was wearing a hood, not revealing his face. Everyone followed his instructions and took seats after their names, and Morikawa was given a new seat by the maid.
Then, the faceless host stated the purpose of inviting the detectives to the Dusk Villa - to find the treasure hidden in the Dusk Villa.
When everyone heard that the owner of the villa had something to do with the treasure, they couldn't help but turn their attention to the person who had just talked about the history of the treasure.
Morikawa noticed that everyone's eyes were turning to him, so he supported his chin with both hands and smiled at everyone.
But what happened soon left them no time to investigate each other's identities - in order to force the detectives to risk their lives to find the treasure, the owner of the villa blew up all their cars and the only bridge leading to the outside world.
"Oh, now it's gone. I was just planning to stay here for one night and then leave, but it seems I can't leave now." Morikawa sighed.
Mogi Harufumi: "But I don't think Mr. Morikawa is that nervous."
Morikawa smiled and said, "It has already happened. There is no point in being nervous. It is more important to find a solution now, isn't it?"
Mogi Haruki looked at Morikawa Shiro's almost unchanged expression, snorted, and said nothing more.
Next, everyone discovered that the person who had been talking to them was just a dummy with a loudspeaker, and the words were all pre-recorded audio.
During the conversation, they talked about the signature "The Phantom of the Son Forsaken by God" on the invitation letter sent to them and others, which refers to the magician under the moonlight - Kaito Kid.
When talking about this, the detectives glanced at Morikawa intentionally or unintentionally, obviously suspecting that he was Kaito Kid.
Even Conan was carefully observing Morikawa's reaction. He had previously suspected that Uncle Mori was impersonated by Kid after Chima Kyouyo pointed out the abnormality of Kogoro Mori's smoking behavior in the car. But now there is another suspicious person, and he suspects that the other party is Kid's helper.
The same doubt flashed through Qianjian Jiangdai's mind.
"Phantom Toad Kidd? It is said that he is a thief who started stealing gems eighteen years ago, but he disappeared eight years ago. I heard that he seems to have appeared again recently? Then this should be the second generation of Kidd." Morikawa Shiro said casually.
"Brother Morikawa, do you know Kaito Kid very well? How do you know that the current one is the second generation Kid, and not the Kaito Kid himself from eighteen years ago?" Conan asked curiously with a flash of white light on his glasses.
Morikawa explained calmly, "I recently came across a theft by Kaito Kid, and I could tell from his voice that he is definitely no more than twenty years old. And eighteen years ago, he was still a child, so of course he couldn't be the first generation Kaito Kid. And his methods are also different. The current Kid's methods are flashy and he seeks everyone's attention. Sometimes he doesn't care about the consequences in pursuit of flashy methods (such as blowing up a power station). Well... he's just like a child who hasn't grown up and wants to show off his abilities."
Then he shrugged and said, "I guess the current Kidd might be the apprentice or son of the Kaito Kidd from eighteen years ago."
"Kogoro Mori" felt ashamed. Who on earth is this guy? He has told the truth almost exactly. No, he can't let him continue saying this.
"You know it so clearly, could you be Kaito Kid himself?" Kogoro Mouri stood up and slapped the table, pointing at Morikawa.
Morikawa did not refute. He stared at Maori Kogoro for a while and said, "If you think so, then so be it."
"Mouri Kogoro": Hey, hey, why are you looking at me like that? Did you find out something?
Morikawa's admission was not an admission and made Kogoro Mori speechless for a moment. He could only sit back in embarrassment.
At this time, the maid knocked on the door of the restaurant, ready to serve the meals in order according to the previous instructions of the master.
The detectives did not want to follow the steps of others, so after discussion they decided to shuffle the order and choose new seats to sit down. At the same time, in order to prevent the tableware from being poisonous, Detective Hakuba suggested wiping the tableware with a handkerchief.
After dinner, everyone listened in silence as the mannequin wearing a loudspeaker re-introduced the tragedy that occurred in this annex after the death of Karasuma Renya. Fortunately, they were able to hear some details that Morikawa had not mentioned just now, otherwise it would have been too boring to hear the same thing twice.
It was also at this time that these detectives believed that Morikawa might really have no relationship with the owner of the annex who invited them, otherwise he would not have told them about the annex in advance.
But everyone still has a glimmer of doubt in their hearts as to whether he is connected to Kaito Kidd.
