Conan's I'm really not a model worker in a winery

Chapter 147 Moritani Teiji’s Afternoon Tea

April 29, 3 pm.

Sawada Hiroki and a dejected Rei stood on the sidewalk in front of a mansion.

"Why haven't there been any bombings in the past few days..."

There were tears in the corners of Lie's eyes, "I thought I could get some bombs for free."

Sawada Hiroki looked at him with dead fish eyes: "Uncle Lie, be careful what you say."

If a policeman passes by, he won't be able to escape even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

"And today, Sister Xiaolan invited us to come and attend this famous architect's tea party. Uncle Lie, how about you be happy?" Sawada Hiroki said.

Lie put away the decadence on his face and stretched, but his tone was still so sad:

"What's so fun? There's no bomb here."

Sawada Hiroki: "..."

Carry it away, it's hopeless.

…

About ten minutes passed.

A taxi stopped in front of the two people.

Moori, his daughter, and Conan got out of the car one after another and saw Retsu and Hiroki at a glance.

Mao Lilan was very surprised: "Mr. Lin and Hiroki! Are you already here?"

"Hmm~ Because there is nothing to do." Lie showed a sunny smile, "And I am also very excited to come to such a famous architect's tea party~"

Sawada Hiroki: "..."

Who just said that you are unhappy without bombs?

"Well...it was actually Professor Moritani Teiji who invited Shinichi." Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly, "But because he had something to do and couldn't come, he asked us to go in his place...I thought it would be better to call Mr. Shanglin

Come with Hiroki."

"So that's it..."

Lie glanced at Conan without any trace.

In fact, Lie and Hongshu already knew about this matter.

Ever since Conan had a mobile phone, Noah had one more task - to monitor Conan.

Fortunately, Xie upgraded Noah's configuration not long ago. Now Noah can release up to fifty clone programs at once without any problems, and it will not cause program lag... provided there is a signal.

As a result, Lie and Hiroki both knew that Conan often used a voice changer to pretend to be his original voice when talking to Xiaolan on the phone.

As soon as they entered the courtyard in front of the villa, the owner of the mansion, Moritani Teiji, came out to greet them personally.

This famous architect looks completely unassuming, and his upturned mustache makes him look a bit interesting.

After learning that the five of them came in place of Kudo Shinichi, Moritani Teiji expressed regret:

"What a pity. I would also like to ask the famous high school detective for advice..."

"If it's a detective, my father is also a detective." Mao Lilan immediately confessed his father enthusiastically, "And Mr. Chi Yanlin and these two children have great reasoning abilities!"

If only Conan's usual high IQ would make Ran suspect that he is Shinichi...

Coupled with Hiroki and Retsu who occasionally showed strength that was stronger than Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan didn't think there was anything wrong with Conan until now.

After hearing Xiaolan's introduction, Moritani Teiji was a little confused - because only Mouri Kogoro was the only one frequently mentioned in newspapers, and he had never heard of Retsu's name.

However, he suppressed this doubt and smiled enthusiastically: "It turns out he is the famous Maori detective. I have admired him for a long time!"

Mouri Kogoro immediately scratched his head in embarrassment: "Yeah! It's my honor to attend your afternoon tea..."

After a few meaningless pleasantries, Moritani Teiji led them to the back garden, where afternoon tea was held.

Moritani Teiji's residence has a completely symmetrical design, whether it is the front yard, the back garden, or the main building.

Even his name has been changed to a completely symmetrical font. It must be said that his symmetrical aesthetics has reached the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After the afternoon tea started, Moritani Teiji asked Moori Kogoro a question:

"Mr. Mori, because recently I was helping a company set up by three people to deduce a network password... I think if you are a famous detective, you can definitely solve it, right?"

Mouri Kogoro: "..."

Every time it was those two brats who solved the case, they had nothing to do with him... But everyone said so, and it seemed a bit shameful to refuse, so what should I do?

Mouri Kogoro, who was praised in this way, hesitated for a moment, then coughed: "In that case... Mr. Lin, I'll leave it to you!"

Lie, who was pushed out, blinked: "Oh! Okay~ What's the puzzle of the password?"

Reasoning? He has read Keduo’s novels recently and will definitely be able to figure it out!

Moritani Teiji: "...?"

This Mouri Kogoro doesn't seem to be as powerful as the newspapers said. He doesn't even dare to accept this challenge?

How did Teiji Moritani know that Kogoro Mouri had a habit of paddling... At most, he would do some serious reasoning when he encountered a case. He no longer wanted to embarrass himself with such riddles - Mr. Lin always brought a bunch of brain teasers with him every time he went out.

He turned around to test him and Conan, and he was tired.

"The password is a total of five pseudonyms, composed of the names of these three people... You have half an hour."

Moritani Teiji sent a note to everyone who came to participate in the afternoon tea. On it was written the names of the three people, their ages and dates of birth, as well as their hobbies and blood types...

After that, Teiji Moritani put down an hourglass, then walked aside to get a match and started lighting a cigarette.

Although Mouri Kogoro did not accept the challenge, he also got the puzzle note...

Conan, Hiroki and Mao Lilan watch a picture together.

"Oyamada Riki, Sora Sasuke, this digger..."

Conan looked at the note and thought, "The names don't seem to have anything to do with each other..."

"The blood types are A, B, and O, and they are not the same..."

Hiroki Sawada held his chin in thought.

Lie looked at the note, thought for a while, and then approached the two children, "Conan, Hiroki, do you think it is the zodiac sign?"

Conan was stunned: "Zodiac?"

"Yes, their birth years happen to be in descending order, 31, 32, 33..." Lie scratched his head.

This year is calculated according to the time of the emperor's reign, and he may not be consistent with the current time for a while.

But Hiroki Sawada and Conan's eyes lit up.

"Yes! They are monkey, chicken, and dog respectively!"

"It's Momotaro! (mo/mo/ta/ro/u)"

Hiroki and Conan almost shouted the answer to Moritani Teiji in unison.

All the guests who were still thinking hard looked at them in surprise.

This is less than three minutes, right? So fast?

Moritani Teiji turned around in surprise, "Oh! You guys came up with the answer so quickly?"

"No, thanks to Uncle Lin's reminder."

Conan told the secret of the zodiac with a cute look on his face. Because chicken, monkey, and dog happened to be Momotaro's three subordinates, and the name Momotaro happened to be composed of five pseudonyms, so he and Hiroki immediately thought of it.

The puzzle was solved, Moritani Teiji was very happy, and said that he would invite them to visit his exhibition room in return.

However……

On the way to the exhibition hall, Lie leaned into Hiroki's ear blankly:

"Hiroki, who is Momotaro? Why does he bring a chicken, monkey, and dog? Is this a circus performance?"
