Chapter 401 The Journey of the Tour Group

April 29th, Tuesday, afternoon, Moritani House.

On the wall of the exhibition room are paintings of various buildings. There are two large tables, one with some architectural models, and the other covered with cloth.

Seeing that a building on the table was higher than the others, Lan smiled and said, "This is the Guangmei World Moscow. It's so tall."

"Originally, it would have been taller with the antenna, but Guangmei World said it would build an apron. I heard that Guangmei World had friction with the officials who wanted a taller building because of this, but the officials finally compromised. "Emperor Moriya sighed, "What a pity."

"..." Conan was speechless, the persistence of an architect. Then I went to look at the paintings on the wall, pointed to one and said, "Sister Lan, this is Mr. Kurokawa's house from last time, right?"

"This house was designed shortly after I started my own business, and the previous works were all designed when I was about 30 years old," said Teiji Moritani.

"These all seem to be asymmetrical," Lan said.

"At that time, I hadn't found my own path." Moriya Teiji laughed.

"This is the building of Mihua Town," Lan said with a smile, "So this is also your work."

"Uh, yes." Moriya Teiji said, and then asked again, "By the way, Miss Lan, you are from Mihua Town, you must have been there, how do you feel?"

"It feels great." Lan laughed. "I'm going to watch a midnight movie here with Shinichi to celebrate his birthday."

"Celebrate the birthday," Moriya Teiji smiled, "So the presents are also bought."

"No, I plan to buy it on Saturday. He likes red as much as I do," Lan said with a blushing face. "It happens that the lucky color of that day is also red, so I plan to buy a red gift for him on that day."

"Then watch a red movie," Moriya Teiji said with a smile, "It's really a red day."

"Yes, yes." Lan said blushing.

Oops, Conan thought, I've completely forgotten about my birthday when I've been thinking about the Sherlock Holmes fan party. Lan is like this, what should I do?

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Moriya Teiji took Lan and Conan back to the back garden, and then went to another place.

Lan looked around and found that Mao Li was missing. Conan noticed that Mao Li was among some artists, so he pointed it to Lan. After thinking about it, Lan took Conan to the garden.

Lan asked with a smile: "I didn't look carefully just now, it seems that there is no Miss Yoko."

"She seems to be filming in another place now." Conan said, and then said, "Sister Lan, Sister Lan, that is Sister Ayako."

"Really." Lan was about to step forward, but found that a man went up first, hesitated for a while before giving up.

Conan smiled and said, "Ah, that's Lawyer Shiratori."

Looking at lawyer Shiratori Sharo who was talking with a man, Lan smiled and said, "I don't know if my mother is here." She said and walked over. The man gave up his seat when he saw someone coming.

After the greeting, Lan asked about Attorney Concubine, and Attorney Bainiao said with a smile, "Sir, I don't want to come over. I just want to represent the Bainiao family, so I have two jobs."

"Ah, really." Lan said discouragedly, and then left to continue to visit the garden.

five o'clock in the afternoon,

The tea party is over. ...

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

After being free, Yamazaki asked with a smile: "How about it, do you think it's a good deal to participate in this kind of celebrity party?"

"I didn't even eat much snacks." Conan sighed, and then asked, "Have you not received the invitation letter in good mood?"

Yamazaki said with a smile: "You should know the person who went, Ms. Mari Terahara, Mr. Tatsuya Kimura's agent, she is now an assistant of Minister Tachibana Maya. The task is to see if there are any suitable artists."

"I didn't see it." Conan said, and then asked, "Hey, Lan wants to help me celebrate my birthday, is there any way?"

"No." Yamazaki smiled, and then asked, "Did you talk to uncle about the registration?"

Conan smiled and said, "I told you, you don't know him yet, but once you heard about the free pick-up, board and lodging, you immediately agreed."

"Then I'll see you then, no, I'll see you somewhere." Yamazaki said with a smile. ...

Wednesday 30 April, Māori Detective Agency.

In the morning, Maori yawned a lot, and asked Conan angrily to Conan who couldn't sleep early in the morning and called him up: "Boy, did you remember the time wrong?"

Staring at Conan downstairs, he found a seven-seater car with the words "Sherlock Holmes Fan McGraft Tour Group" parked downstairs, so he said: "Come, come. Uncle, Sister Lan, Let's go." Then he picked up his backpack and ran down.

"It's really here," Lan said, "Dad, grab your bags and let's go."

The three of Maoli went downstairs, and found a twenty-four or five-year-old woman standing next to the opened car door, and said to them: "Mr. Mori Kogoro, Miss Mori Ran, children from Edogawa Conan? Please come on." Che, my name is Hitomi Iwai, and I'm your driver."

"Yes." Maori said, and then found that the car was empty, and asked as he got into the car, "Is it just us?"

"According to the itinerary given to me by the boss, I have to pick up other people." Hitomi Iwai said while getting into the car, "The boss is going to pick up another group of people."

"So that's how it is," Maori said, with a bad feeling in his heart. ...

In the evening, Maori's feeling came true, because he was still in the car and just looked at the street signs, which all came to Aichi County. And these people who came up were Nanako Shimizu, a 24-year-old librarian in Chiba Prefecture, Toshiaki Fujisawa, a clerk at a bus station in Ibaraki Prefecture, in her 40s, and Ikuo Kawazu, a 25-year-old high school physical education teacher in Tochigi Prefecture, The non-stop chatter about Sherlock Holmes, and now about Conan, uh, Doyle's work, is really noisy.

Nanako Shimizu smiled and said, "My favorite is "A Study in Scarlet""

"That one," Fujisawa Toshiaki said with a smile, "it's the memorable first work in which Sherlock Holmes made his debut."

Kawazu Ikuo said with a smile: "My favorite work is "The Red Hair Society."

Conan raised his hand and said with a smile: "And me, and me, I like "Four Signatures" the most."

Kawazu Ikuo smiled and said, "Oh, that is a very highly rated work in the world."

Fujisawa Toshiaki smiled and said, "You are awesome, kid, you can recognize so many characters."

"It's nothing." Conan smiled embarrassedly.

"What?" Maori whispered, "Why do I have to join this tour group?"

"It's all here." Lan laughed softly, "And Conan likes this trip very much."

At this time, Kawazu Ikuo suddenly asked: "Which story do you like the most?"

"You, are you asking me?" Mao Li said, "Well, um, I like "And There Were None" and the like." Then the faces of the others changed immediately.

Nanako Shimizu said, "The author of that novel is Agatha Christie."

Kawazu Ikuo said: "It is not the work written by the master Conan Doyle I admire."

Toshiaki Fujisawa said: "Really, how can such laymen mix in our tour group? It's just too disappointing."

Damn it, do I really want to be with these people these three days? Maori looked at Conan's happy face, sighed, and turned his head to look out the window. ...
