Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Walking on the streets of Tokyo, you may occasionally hear a few crows flying across the sky, calling "Woo-ah! Woo-ah!", which shows the uniqueness of this international metropolis with its large number of crows.

Hua Lantian first went to Chinatown to buy a bottle of Yanghe Meng 9 as a gift for the alcoholic Maori Kogoro, and then went to the Maori Detective Agency.

(Let’s just assume it’s on the way and don’t think too much)

Soon, Hua Lantian arrived at the downstairs of a three-story building. This was the Mori Detective Agency at 39-5chome, Beika-cho. Opposite Hua Lantian was the Poirot Cafe, where the future working emperor would come.

It was almost noon and the store was already busy. I looked for a while and saw that the only clerk who was working was Azusa Enomoto.

Then he hurried up to the second floor and heard the sound of the TV playing inside, as well as the faint voice of Mouri Kogoro shouting "Yeah" to Yoko, confirming that Mouri Kogoro was in the office.

Then he knocked on the door of the office, and at the same time, worried that Maori Kogoro was too excited about chasing stars and couldn't hear him, he shouted: "Hello, is Detective Maori here? I want to ask him to help investigate something!"

As if hearing someone coming to him for a commission, the noise inside the office stopped. Maori Kogoro immediately walked to the door, opened it, and greeted him indifferently:

"Hello, hello. I'm here. I'm Maori Kogoro. Please come in and sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea and we can chat while we drink."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the tea room to pour tea. He didn't even think about looking at the client. Although he wanted a commission, he was currently chasing stars. Besides, it was almost noon, and he planned to go to the Poirot Cafe downstairs for lunch after watching it.

Moreover, the client looked very young at first glance and did not look like a rich man, so he was a little unwelcome to this person who was a bit like an uninvited guest.

Kogoro Mouri quickly prepared the tea and came out. He put the teacup on the coffee table and sat down. Only then did he notice that there was a bag of what was obviously wine next to the young man.

It seemed that Hua Lantian noticed that Maori Kogoro was not very welcoming to him, and that he might have come at the wrong time, so he quickly said:

"Detective Maori, I'm sorry to bother you. This is a gift I prepared for you. It's a kind of white wine from my hometown in China, which I like. It's also quite famous. Also, I'm here because I have a commission and I'd like your help. It's a commission to find someone. And here's my business card."

After saying that, he handed the bag of Yanghe Meng 9 to Maori Kogoro, and took out a business card with a bunch of impressive names that he had prepared in order to fool people from his pocket.

When Kogoro Mouri heard that there was better wine to be had, his attitude changed immediately. He suddenly put on a smile and took the wine bag in a flash to take a look inside.

I found that the packaging of this wine was very extraordinary, and I immediately knew that it must be not cheap and must be a good wine. Then I put the wine bag aside calmly, planning to find a good time to drink it and enjoy the delicious white wine from China.

Then he solemnly took the seemingly ordinary business card with black words on white paper. Although it looked ordinary, the texture was very good. He could tell it was not simple when he touched it. It was probably not fake. He looked at it carefully.

You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it. His eyes are about to pop out of their sockets and become cone-shaped, revealing the unique expression of Kogoro Mouri. It is obviously an emoticon package that can only be found in the two-dimensional world.

This scene happened to be seen by Hua Lantian who was observing him. Hua Lantian almost burst out laughing. It was really exciting.

I used to think that Kogoro Mouri's expressions were particularly interesting when I saw them on TV. Now that I see them in real life, they are really quite interesting. Suppressing his smile, he continued to observe Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri's hand holding the business card began to tremble. He looked at the business card, then at Hua Lantian, and was speechless for a long time. He really didn't expect that this handsome young man had such a big name.

At first he thought that this was just an annoying poor boy with no money, so he wanted to get rid of him quickly so that he could continue to watch Yoko sing and then have a nice meal.

But later, the young man was very considerate and prepared his favorite thing as a visiting gift for him, which was a good and valuable wine. He began to like this guy a little.

Then suddenly he realized that he seemed to have seen this young man somewhere, and looked carefully at the name on the business card, "Hua Lantian".

He took a closer look at the young man's appearance, "Hiss~" "It's you! The emerging stock god of Japan, Hua Lantian from China!" he said in surprise.

Seeing that he finally recognized him, Hua Lantian nodded and said it was him, because he had been interviewed and appeared in the newspaper some time ago.

For the detective Mouri Kogoro, in this era when the Internet was not yet widely popularized and the online situation was terrible, and Mouri Kogoro was a computer idiot (??????‵?), reading newspapers and watching the news every day was a compulsory course for him to understand current affairs.

So he must have seen what he looks like, even though Kogoro Mouri seems unreliable, but who knows.

If he was first impressed by Hua Lantian's wine and had a greatly changed impression of Hua Lantian, now that he knew Hua Lantian's identity, Maori Kogoro was even more excited. He knew that this time he was really going to make a big deal.

He excitedly shook Hua Lantian's hand and said, "Mr. Hua, if you have any instructions, I will do it even if it means going through fire and water!"

Hua Lantian was startled by his sudden enthusiasm, and then realized that Maori Kogoro was such a person.

But he is actually a very nice person, otherwise he would not have let Conan stay with him. Although he often dislikes him, he also likes Conan very much.

Hua Lantian then spoke out the commission he had prepared in advance, saying:

"You're too polite, Detective Maori. I came to visit you to ask for a favor. I'm sure you'll bring something. I'll pay you a commission, but I'm a junior after all. No matter how great my achievements, I should respect my elders. Plus, you're a very famous detective, so you must be very capable."

"Well, I'd like to ask you to help me find someone. He's been missing for a long time and I can't get in touch with him. He's a friend of mine, and his family is very worried, worried he might have been murdered. So, I'm asking you to help find him, but I think this kind of thing should be left to professionals."

"His name is Zhufu Jingguang. Of course, I hope you can investigate secretly. If he is killed, it may cause us all considerable trouble."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about the commission. I'll give you 10 million yen. No matter what the result is, I will pay you the full amount when the result is known. I will pay you half of it first, which is a deposit of 5 million yen."

"Oh, by the way, Detective Maori, there's no need to be so formal. I heard that your daughter isn't much younger than me, so you can definitely call me Lantian."

"Ah, really? Am I that famous? Or am I? Ahahahaha!" Maori Kogoro stuck out his long tongue and laughed very proudly (this is his classic move, everyone knows it, and when he laughs, I want to laugh). Then he calmed down and said:

"Then I will unceremoniously call you Lantian. So, Lantian, are you telling the truth? I appreciate your recognition of me for such a large commission. I will definitely not let you down and will give you an answer as soon as possible. You don't have to keep calling me Detective Maori. You can call me Uncle Maori."

Hua Lantian tried hard to suppress a laugh and replied, "Of course it's true, Uncle Maori. I'll transfer the five million to you tomorrow! I have to go to Tropical Paradise this afternoon and may not have time to go to the bank. If you're worried, we can sign a contract."

Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he was so generous. So he must believe him. After all, he would not lie to him about such a thing.

Although it was their first meeting, he felt that this young man was very likable. (I think you like his money? (??????‵?)) Then he waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, no need to sign a contract. I believe you, but you're going to the tropical park too. My daughter, Xiaolan, is going there again today, but she's going with a stinky brat. This brat has been stealing my business. It's so abominable. And now he's even trying to shady things by inviting my daughter to the tropical park!"

"Are you talking about Kudo Shinichi, Uncle Mori? Well, I just moved in next to the Kudo family. This morning when I went to visit Professor Agasa, I learned that Kudo Shinichi was going to Tropical Paradise."

Hua Lantian said this with a surprised look.

Maori Kogoro was also shocked. He didn't expect that even Hua Lantian knew about this.

"No, I must not let Xiaolan go out to play with that detective boy next time. What if she can't get married in the future? She has been playing with the detective boy. Although they are childhood sweethearts, I think this detective boy has bad intentions. It really makes me angry. I will ask Hua Lantian later to ask him to let Xiaolan go home early if he sees her in the tropical park," he thought.

He awkwardly changed the subject and started showing off to Hua Lantian the cases he had solved before. By now, Maori Kogoro had completely forgotten his original plan and started to greet his wealthy boss...

The scene comes to the moment when Hua Lantian just left Dr. Agasa's house, and Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran entered Dr. Agasa's house one after another. Mao Li Ran also carried a food box in her hand, ready to deliver breakfast to the lonely (dog head) old man.

Because she had time today and came to see Shinichi, she thought Shinichi might not have had breakfast, and then when she remembered that Professor Agasa had not eaten, they prepared it together.

After all, Dr. Agasa has always taken good care of her, and Dr. Agasa doesn't pay much attention to his life and diet, and just eats casually. Since she has this opportunity, she must cook something for him.

But she didn't expect that Professor Agasa had already eaten it, and it was a new neighbor who gave it to him. This surprised Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan. They both wanted to get to know this polite new neighbor. They could imagine that this should be a warm and welcoming person...

Then they said goodbye to Dr. Agasa and headed to Tropical Paradise.

The scene returns to the Mouri Detective Agency, where Hua Lantian and Mouri Kogoro chat for a while.

It was almost noon, so Kogoro Maori asked Hua Lantian if he wanted to go to the Poirot Café downstairs for lunch together. Hua Lantian didn't think too much about it and agreed. He had been coveting the food at the Poirot Café for a long time.

The two of them quickly came downstairs, each ordered a signature lunch from the Poirot Café, and started enjoying it...

During this period, he also got to know Enomoto Azusa. After eating and drinking, Hua Lantian was satisfied and said goodbye to Maori Kogoro.

"Then I'll be leaving first, Uncle Maori. I have to hurry to Tropical Paradise so I can experience more of the attractions there. As for the commission, don't worry too much. I'll have someone send you some information to facilitate your investigation in a while."

Maori Kogoro heard him say this and did not try to persuade him to stay. He said:

"Alright then, Lan Tian, ​​I won't try to keep you here. But don't worry, I'll definitely do my best to handle this commission for you. If you see Xiao Lan at Tropical Paradise, please ask her to come back early and stop hanging out with that brat. She's grown up now, not a kid anymore. I think you know what that brat looks like. After all, he often appears in newspapers and on TV news, being called the 'police savior'. It's ridiculous."

"Okay Uncle Maori, I understand. I'll be leaving now."

After Hua Lantian said goodbye to him, he also said hello and goodbye to Enomoto Azusa, then walked out of Poirot Cafe and headed for Tropical Paradise.
