At Dr. A-Li's house
"Why are there so many letters from Dad!" After carrying all the letters that had already filled the Kudo mansion's mailbox to Dr. Agasa's house, he was speechless when he saw the letters that had almost piled up into a mountain.
"Of course!"
Dr. Agasa put down his work and turned to them." His new Dark Baron novel is selling well in America!"”
Ming Hui was a little envious of his father's popularity, and his heart was full of jealousy as he thought,"Hmph, if I write those famous works from my previous life, I will definitely be more famous than him."
"Then what are you doing now, Doctor?”Conan looked at the machine in front of Professor Ali and wondered.
"You mean this?" Professor A'li's attitude changed the moment the topic was brought up. He began to talk about Datong's seemingly exciting but actually uninteresting words.
In short, this mechanical insect could bring people to fly.
" It doesn't look sturdy to me." As he spoke, he gently touched the mechanical insect's body with his hand.
Sure enough, Ming Hui only touched it lightly and it fell apart with a crash.
Professor Ali was speechless.
" It's really a useless toy." Conan and Ming Hui looked at the broken parts on the table with dead fish eyes.
" How is this rubbish?" Dr. A'li immediately said angrily," I just haven't done it yet. When I'm done, you can be envious of me!"”
" I don't think you'll be able to finish it in your lifetime." Ming Hui had already learned about Dr. A'li's plot in the anime, so he was 100% pessimistic about Dr. A'li because he was an experienced driver and the developer of detective equipment in the anime.
" I'd better sort the letters inside. Otherwise, I won't be able to go home for dinner." As he spoke, he began to check the types of letters one by one.
"Brother, there's a letter for you!”When he was about to finish sorting out the letters, Ming Hui picked up a letter from the rest of the envelopes and handed it to him.
"It seems that there are still people who know me. It's not that I don't have a sense of existence!”Seeing that he had finally received a letter, Conan was obviously very excited. He was like a famous star who had lost his popularity and found out that someone still liked him.
"Sen Gu Di Er? " Who is it?" Conan opened the letter with a heart full of doubts, only to find that it was an invitation to a banquet attended by celebrities from all walks of life. There was also an invitation letter in the envelope.
"Doctor, do you know Moriya Diji?”Conan asked Dr. Ali.
" I know." Dr. Agasa stopped his work again." He's a professor in the Department of Construction at Toto University and one of the top architects in Japan!"”
"It seems that he likes to smoke cigars." Ming Hui sniffed the smell on the envelope."The envelope has a strong cigar smell."
"But Shinichi, you're already so small. How are you going to attend the banquet?”Dr. A'li thought of the most critical problem at hand.
" Then I can only let Xiaolan participate in my place." Helpless, Conan could only come up with this plan.
On the way back to the Maori Law Firm, she used the public phone to tell Xiaolan about the matter. Xiaolan had to ask Shinichi to go on a date with her on May 3rd.
"Minghui, do you know what day May 3rd is?”Walking out of the phone booth, Conan asked Ming Hui, who was waiting for him outside.
"May 3rd? "I don't know." Ming Hui thought for a while and shook his head."I've always been very vague about time."
"That's bad. What day is it?”Thinking of this, Conan pondered as he walked. If Ming Hui hadn't opened the way in front, he might have been knocked down.
"Isn't this Conan and Ming Hui?" Just as the two of them were walking home, Officer Megami's voice came from the building next to them.
"Hello, Officer Mu Mu!" After greeting Officer Megure, Conan and Ming Hui both glanced at the unfamiliar police officer beside him.
" Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Officer Megure pointed to the police behind him and introduced," This is Officer Shiratori, he was recently assigned to our class."
" Hello." Officer White Bird nodded politely at Ming Hui and the others." I've heard about your Watson and Holmes combination from Officer Mumu. I'll take care of you in the future."
"I am Watson?" Ming Hui glanced at Conan." I think his girlfriend is Watson."
" Really, because there are many cases, it seems like I won't be able to enjoy the golden holiday for the next few days. Goodbye then."
After saying that, he waved at us and got into the police car to leave.
"Golden holiday?" Conan then remembered what day it was." Isn't May 3rd the anniversary of the revision of the constitution?”
"But that day isn't an important day.”
Ming said that he was very confused now, as if he had missed something very important.
" Let's go home quickly, or we won't be able to have dinner," Conan turned around and shouted at Ming Hui.
" Oh, I'm coming." After saying that, he followed Conan and ran to Maori Detective Agency.
…………
At night, upstairs of the Mao Li Detective Agency.
"What? Birthday?" Ming Hui and Conan, who were holding their rice bowls, said in surprise.
" Yes," Xiao Lan said to the two of them," May 4th is Xin Yi's birthday, so I asked him to accompany me to watch a midnight movie on May 3rd. At 12 o'clock, I gave him the gift I prepared for him!”
"This is bad!" After listening to Xiao Lan's words, Ming Hui remembered what day it was." I forgot about it. I didn't even prepare a birthday present for my brother!"”
"Then what movie are you guys going to watch?”Maori Kogoro asked Xiaolan after swallowing a piece of sashimi.
"The legend of the red line," Lan replied.
"What legend of the Red Line? "I've never heard of it before," Ming Hui said doubtfully. Maori Kogoro and Conan also looked confused.
"You guys don't know!" "People say that when a man and a woman get together, there will be a red line tied to their little fingers when they are born!" Xiao Lan said in surprise.”
" Besides, Shinichi and I have been lustful for the past few days. That's why I'm watching this movie."
At this point, Xiaolan's face turned red with embarrassment. Perhaps that was what she thought of Shinichi and herself.
"Oh!" After Ming Hui listened, he suddenly realized,"You're talking about the matchmaker's marriage line, I know this!"”
"Who is Yue Lao?" Conan Xiaolan and Kogoro Maori were confused. They had never heard of it.
Seeing that they didn't know, Ming Hui then explained to them," Yue Lao is also known as the Old Man under the Moon. He is the person who specially ties people's marriages and holds the red rope in the mythical stories of the Chinese dynasty."
"In the legends, there was an old man who would tie a red line on the little finger of every person when they were born. The other end would be the person they were destined to be married to in this life. As the saying went," a thousand miles of marriage is tied by a thread ", the red line often referred to " marriage " or " matchmaking ", and could also be regarded as a token of love for marriage.”
" So that's how the red rope came about," Xiao Lan said in realization.
" I didn't expect you to know so much." Maori Kogoro expressed that he had gained knowledge in his heart after hearing this.
" Why don't Uncle go watch this movie with Aunt Yingli?" Ming Hui suddenly thought of something and smiled strangely.
"Boom!"
Maori Kogoro punched Ming Hui on the head." This is an adult's business. Don't interrupt!"”
"Really!" Ming Hui rubbed the bump on his head." I just want to ease the conflict between you and Aunt Yingli. Is there a need to be so agitated?"”
"Right!" Lan suddenly thought of something," Daddy, let's go to the Moriya Teiji family's tea party together?”
"Why are you saying this?" Maori Kogoro asked suspiciously.
As she spoke, Xiaolan took out an invitation letter from her pocket and explained to Maori Kogoro,"Shinichi wanted to go, but he had something to do, so he asked us to go."
When Maori Kogoro heard that it was an invitation to Shinichi, he rejected it unhappily." He invited Shinichi, not me. I'm not going!"”
Ming Hui saw that Maori Kogoro was not going, so he thought of a way to attract Uncle Maori." Moriya Teiji is a famous architect in Japan. Just thinking about the historic encounter between a famous detective and a famous architect is very interesting!"”
"A historic meeting!" Maori Kogoro was fooled after hearing it,"Then I'll reluctantly accept it."
"Hehe, uncle is really easy to fool!”When Conan saw all of this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
Moriya Residence, April 29th, Tuesday.
"This place is really beautiful!" Xiao Lan and Conan exclaimed as they admired the beautiful and glorious scenery in the front yard of the villa.
" It's not bad." Ming Hui also glanced around." But the house doesn't need to be big or small. As long as it's happy and comfortable."
" It's my honor to be praised by you," the middle-aged man who was strolling over replied with a smile. The most eye-catching thing was that the man's eyebrows and beard were the same length, which reminded Ming Hui of the legendary character in Gu Long's novels: Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows.
Thinking of this, Ming Hui burst out laughing.
"Ming Hui, you have to be polite!"
Hearing Ming Hui's laughter, Xiao Lan lectured him seriously.
"Little friend, am I that funny?”Senya Diji asked Ming Hui curiously.
"No," Ming Hui shook his head,"I just remembered that there was a character whose eyebrows were a little similar to yours, so I laughed."
" I see. I really want to meet someone with a beard like mine." Moritani Daiji was also very curious about the person Ming Hui was talking about.
" You two are not from the same world. It's impossible for you to meet." Ming Hui could only laugh at Senya Diji's thoughts.
" Alright, come with me. The tea party will be held in the backyard." After Xiaolan told Shinichi that she and the others were not allowed to come, Moritani Daiji led us to the backyard.
The backyard of the villa was even more lively than the front courtyard. Most of the Japanese celebrities came here. It could be said to be bustling and luxurious.
"Wow, this food is really delicious!”After tasting the exquisite food on the table, Xiao Lan praised its taste endlessly.
" Of course, I spent an entire night making this." Hearing others praise him, Moriya Dier was very happy.
"I didn't expect Moritani-san to be such a good cook!”
" That's right, he's really amazing. I really admire Moritani-san."
……
Under the flattery of a group of socialites, Moritani Dier became even more proud.
He even expressed his views, but no one responded to him. After all, his ideas were too extreme.
The next game segment was undoubtedly Conan's win, so Conan, Ming Hui, and Lan were invited to watch the oil paintings of the buildings he had designed.
However, Ming Hui always felt that he was up to no good and always asked for information about Shinichi from the kind-hearted Xiaolan.
" Hey!" Ming Hui nudged Conan who was still admiring the oil painting with his elbow." You have to be careful of Moriya Diji. I always feel that he is a little strange!"”
" Mm." Conan nodded without looking back, indicating that he understood.
Just like that, the Moriya family's tea party ended, and the outside became calm, but Ming Hui felt that a storm was coming!
