Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

"Kudo seems to only be interested in detective-related content. If you let him watch a movie like this, he'll probably fall asleep the moment he gets into the theater," Zhiyong replied with a smile.

“He wouldn’t dare,” Xiao Lan said fiercely. “By the way, look.”

As Xiaolan spoke, she took out a weekly magazine, opened a page for everyone to see, and said, "It says that Shinichi and I's lucky color for May is red. That's why I decided to watch this movie."

"No, that's not right." Kogoro Mouri suddenly asked, "Didn't you just say that you were going to watch WuYe with Shinichi?"

“Yes,” Xiaolan replied.

"No, no, I disagree, I've decided I disagree! How can young men and women spend the night together in a dimly lit movie theater?" Kogoro Mouri shouted, pointing at Ran with great agitation.

"Dad, please don't overthink things."

"But you're only in high school..."

"Oh, right, Dad, let's go to Teiji Moriya's afternoon tea party together," Ran said, changing the subject.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

"He originally invited Shinichi, but Shinichi didn't have time, so he asked me to attend in his place," Ran said, taking out the invitation.

"The invitation is for Shinichi, not me, so I'm not going," Kogoro Mouri said arrogantly.

"Isn't Teiji Moriya that famous architect? This is a historic meeting between a famous detective and a famous architect!" Conan said calmly.

"A famous detective and a famous architect! Okay, I agree."

"Sato, if you have time, you can come along too. The invitation says you can bring friends," Ran said, extending the invitation after seeing that Kogoro Mouri had agreed.

"Sure, Teiji Moriya is a famous architect in Japan. It would be an honor for me to meet him."

We just mentioned Shinichi Kudo's birthday.

Zhiyong still remembers that the first Detective Conan movie was on Shinichi Kudo's birthday.

He seemed to recall that the story began with the murder of Daizo Kurokawa.

Zhiyong simply didn't remember Kurokawa Daizo's name.

Now that Xiaolan mentioned Moriya Teiji, Zhiyong suddenly remembered this matter.

A few days ago, Zhiyong and Kogoro Mouri worked together to help the police solve the murder case of Daizo Kurokawa.

Unfortunately, Zhiyong didn't really realize at the time that this was the first theatrical version.

Tuesday, April 29th, 2:30 PM.

Kogoro Mouri and his group of four arrived at Teiji Moriya's manor.

After verifying their invitations at the entrance, they entered the manor.

Teiji Moriya is a professor in the Department of Architecture at Toto University and one of the top architects in Japan. He once won the Best Newcomer Award from the Japan Architectural Association. He is a genius.

In terms of architecture, he particularly likes the symmetrical British classical style, to the point of being obsessive.

If Zhiyong hadn't known about his twisted psychology, he would still have wanted to get involved with him.

However, his estate is indeed very beautifully built.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as 17th-century English architecture from the Stuart dynasty," Kogoro Mori remarked.

"Dad, you know so much about architecture?" Xiaolan asked in surprise.

Kogoro Mouri's words truly surprised both Ran and Conan.

If Zhiyong hadn't already seen it, even Kogoro Mouri would have been surprised by the cheat sheet in his hand.

Actually, it was about Kogoro Mouri looking at cheat sheets.

Zhiyong didn't feel anything was wrong.

It is wrong to use cheat sheets during exams while in school.

But they entered society.

In fact, we face exams every day.

In the university of society, as long as you don't exploit other people's achievements for your own benefit, you'll be fine.

It's okay to use cheat sheets; whoever uses them well will get better grades.

Chapter 116 Visiting the Exhibition Hall

Kogoro Mouri arrogantly added, "People used to call your dad a living library, didn't they? Now take a closer look at the left and right sides of the building."

"Wow, if you stand right in the middle, the views on both sides are exactly the same!" Ran exclaimed after observing Mori's words.

"This kind of architecture is what's called a symmetrical design. Professor Moriya spent his entire high school years in England, so he really likes British architecture, especially classical architecture, which he has a particular fondness for." Kogoro Mouri secretly glanced at his cheat sheet.

"His original name was Zhenjie, but it was later changed to Di Er, which is symmetrical."

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Xiaolan exclaimed, "This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful manor."

"It is my honor to receive your praise. Nice to meet you. I am Teiji Moriya." Teiji Moriya stepped forward and greeted Kogoro Mouri and the others.

Xiao Lan quickly helped introduce the group.

When Teiji Moriya learned that Shinichi Kudo had not attended the banquet, he was extremely disappointed.

However, Teiji Moriya was still very polite and led Kogoro Mouri and the others to the back garden of the manor.

This is the location for the tea party.

The tea party held by Teiji Moriya.

The people who came were either musicians, supermodels, presidents of big companies, critics, or famous artists.

To paraphrase a line from "The Humble Abode," "I converse with learned scholars, and have no uncultured people among my visitors."

Perhaps, only Kogoro Mouri and his group could be considered to be of relatively low status.

Although Zhiyong also started a company, it was just beginning and was still a small company that was not taken seriously by many big shots.

"Mr. Mori, I would like to pose a small riddle to you and ask for your help. I hope you will not mind."

Shortly after the tea party began, Teiji Moriya approached Kogoro Mouri and spoke to him.

"Want to solve a riddle? Okay then." Kogoro Mouri was a little surprised, but he refused to admit defeat.

“Yes, because I’m currently helping a company run by three people to deduce an internet password. If it were the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, he should be able to crack it quickly,” Teiji Moriya said with a slight smile.

"Alright then, I can give it a try. Please give me a question," Kogoro Mouri said, straightening his clothes.

"Alright, here are the details of those three people. The password is a word that is related to all three of them, consisting of five katakana characters. You have three minutes to try it out. Consider it an interactive activity for this tea party."

As he spoke, Teiji Moriya took out some papers and distributed them to everyone.

Zhiyong looked at the information on the three people on the paper, and it was pretty much the same as what he remembered.

I just don't know why Teiji Moriya would set such a question.

Was it to test everyone's reasoning ability, or was there some other conspiracy, or some other reason?

He remembered seeing some netizens on some forums in his previous life.

The reasoning behind this minor issue in the drama is that it was Moriya Teiji's attempt to decipher the code of the Japanese gunpowder depot.

This made Zhiyong feel a little strange.

If Moriya Teiji is real, then this deduction was made in order to crack the code of the Japanese gunpowder depot.

Teiji Moriya is too bold.

He was so confident that among so many people, no one would leak the information.

But whatever, whether it's true or not, what does it have to do with him?

Zhiyong then said, "Professor Moriya, this is too simple. Not to mention Uncle Mori, I could tell at a glance. The three of them were born in the years of Shen, You, and Xu, which are the zodiac signs of monkey, rooster, and dog. These are all Momotaro's followers. So, the answer is Momotaro."

Moriya Teiji looked at Zhiyong in surprise, then smiled and said, "You got it right, that's amazing."

"It's Momotaro."

Why didn't I think of that?

Many guests were shocked to see that Zhi Yong had solved the case.

"This is nothing. Compared to Uncle Mori, I'm still far behind," Zhiyong said modestly.

Upon hearing Tomoyuki's words, Kogoro Mouri burst into laughter.

Teiji Moriya smiled and said, "As a reward for your correct answer, I would like to invite you to visit my art gallery. Miss Ran and Conan, please come along too."

Upon entering the exhibition hall, Teiji Moriya smiled and said, "The three of you are welcome to visit freely."

Looking at the house designs hanging on the wall, Zhiyong felt they were all pretty good.

Teiji Moriya's design skills are indeed quite remarkable.

It's just a real shame.

For Teiji Moriya, only a symmetrical design style can be considered a perfect architectural design.

This can only be considered as Teiji Moriya's dedication to design.

An architect, or anyone who does anything, needs this kind of dedication to do things better.

It was this dedication that enabled Teiji Moriya to achieve what he has today.

However, Moriya Teiji's current obsession is a bit too extreme.

There are as many Hamlets as there are people.

As a consumer, he not only wants to consider the perfection of architecture, but also desires its uniqueness.

Of course, the most important reason is also to consider his spending power.

Being an excellent architect is not just about creating perfect works that win awards.

It should also be able to design architectural designs that best suit the needs of different people.

A single flower does not make spring; a hundred flowers blooming together make a garden full of spring.

Just as Teiji Moriya believed, only buildings with a symmetrical style are truly perfect.
