The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 266 Undetected Hostility
September 09, Golden Sunday, 21:14 pm.

After successfully parking the car in a nearby open-air parking lot, Sasashima Ritsu and Kudo Shinichi walked towards Moritani Teiji's residence.Building large-scale luxury homes in such relatively remote places is also a personal preference of architects.You know, the larger the area that allows designers to freely display their talents, the better.

She wears a light blue dress and her hair has been specially permed. Even the navy blue Fusha-painted small satchel around her waist can be seen as one that she can't bear to carry on a daily basis.

Mao Lilan smiled immediately after seeing the two of them. She bowed politely to Onizawa Chong and said with a smile: "Mr. Onizawa, we meet again."

"Well, Miss Mori is dressed very beautifully today, right Kudo?" Ritsu Sasashima deliberately threw the words to Kudo. He was in a rare good mood and wanted to assist the young couple, but it was a pity that someone's mouth was the same as his. Yeah, I can't say anything good at all.

"Isn't it just the same as usual? Really, is it necessary to go home and change clothes just for an afternoon tea party?" Kudo Shinichi curled his lips and said dissatisfied.

If you don't change clothes, wearing school uniforms can be considered as couple costumes.However, this kind of little thought that ordinary people cannot understand, no one will know unless it is spoken out.

"Huh?! What do you mean by wearing the same clothes as usual? I'm—"

"Miss Mori, if you don't go in, we will step on the spot. It will be rude." Ritsu Sasashima interrupted in time. He did not want to get involved in the playful quarrel between the young couple.

Mao Lilan glared at Kudo and said nothing. She angrily walked away from her childhood sweetheart and chose to stand next to Onizawa Takashi. She didn't want to talk to Shinichi, a big idiot, today.

When Kudo Shinichi saw Xiaoran running to Mr. Onizawa's right hand side and actually not standing with him, he also felt inexplicably sulky. The two of them turned their heads to the side, leaving the one standing in the middle embarrassed.

Sasashima Ritsu couldn't help but rolled his eyes. What does it have to do with me that you little couple are quarreling? It makes me stand in the middle like a kilowatt light bulb. Do you have to create a red thread to tie you two together before you can let me go?
Forget it, he is an adult and does not care about minors. This may be the daily life of a young couple.

However, just after Kudo Shin handed the invitation letter to the security guard in dark red uniform at the door, the heavy iron door slowly opened, and only then could he see the bustling scene inside.

The British-style three-story mansion gives people a majestic feeling, and it is also a favorite building for obsessive-compulsive disorder and symmetry lovers.The yard is kept very clean, and even the gardening is symmetrical, including the pruning style.

There is also a fountain in the vestibule, and the fountain pool made of pure gold can also show that the owner of the mansion is willing to invest in the house, as well as his arrogance.

"Wow! So big and beautiful!"

Hearing Xiaolan's emotion, Sasashima Ritsu nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed a building from the British orthodox Stuart dynasty in the [-]th century. This symmetrical design is also a characteristic of British architecture."

"Mr. Onizawa, do you actually know a lot about architecture?"

"No, because I am coming to Mr. Moritani Teiji's afternoon tea party, I did a little research before coming. This may be an occupational disease of the police. I will feel more confident if I have more clues." Sasajima Ritsu pushed up his glasses. explained.

Kudo Shinichi saw that the two of them were chatting happily. He put his hands in his pockets and stood directly between them. He raised his chin and said, "Speaking of Moritani Teiji, you can deduce from his name that he has an interest in British style." The yearning for architecture!”

"Name? Is there anything special about the name?" Mao Lilan, who had lost her temper, tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Isn't the name Moritani Teiji exactly symmetrical?"

"Moritani Teiji...really, it's really symmetrical!"

Ritsu Sasashima couldn't help but add: "His real name is Sadaharu Moritani. He probably felt that the last two characters did not conform to the symmetrical structure, so he changed it to Teiji Moritani."

"It's really morbid..." Kudo Shin muttered in a low voice, just like the kind of person who is so hysterical that he feels that contact with others is desecrating his body, so he carries disinfectant with him.

"Shinichi, it's rude of you to say that, Mr. Moritani, but... this front garden is really beautiful. I've only seen such beautiful buildings in movies before."

"It is an honor for me to receive your praise."

Sasajima Ritsu had already noticed Moritani Teiji coming this way. He was wearing his favorite green suit jacket. He had a high hairline and short brown hair. His mustache was upturned at the ends, which made him look a little bit... funny.

It was as if he was in a good mood even if he didn't smile.

"This is my first time meeting you all. My name is Moritani Teiji."

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi also suppressed the unnecessary expression on his face, and bowed politely: "Hello, Mr. Moritani, I am Kudo Shinichi. These two are my friends, Mao Lilan and Onizawa Takashi. It is an honor to receive your invitation."

"Onizawa Takashi...huh? Is that the famous detective?" Moritani Teiji said in surprise.

Are you actually so famous?

Ritsu Sasashima took the initiative to step forward and smiled: "Hello Mr. Moritani, I am able to come to the afternoon tea hosted by you because of Kudo's credit. Please give me your advice."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Onizawa is joking. It's an honor for me to invite you. Afternoon tea will start soon. You three, please follow me to the backyard."

Following Moritani Teiji's footsteps, everyone walked through the middle corridor and arrived at the backyard of the mansion.

A variety of exquisite pastries were placed on the long table covered with a red tablecloth. Celebrities in formal attire held black tea cups and communicated softly. A speaker placed on the lawn not far away also played melodious light music.

It was indeed an afternoon tea party hosted by a famous architect. The guests were either musicians or famous models, or they were big entrepreneurs and critics, and it was full of the smell of money.

From the corner of his eye, the corner of his eye fell on Moritani Teiji from time to time. Sasashima Ritsu deliberately shifted his position to facilitate observation, which also allowed him to successfully capture some subtle things.

Just like... Moritani Teiji seems to care about Kudo Shinichi a lot, and his eyes will always wander around Kudo's body.Combined with the invitation he sent, is there a connection between the two of them?
However, in the previous investigation, no intersection between the two was found.

"Come on, you're welcome. Just spend the afternoon here."

Mao Lilan approached the long table with her hands behind her back. She was good at cooking and saw at a glance that the pastries on the table were all handmade. She couldn't help but curious: "Mr. Moritani, are these beautiful pastries all handmade snacks?" "

"Of course. In a formal afternoon tea party, guests will of course be entertained with hand-made snacks. Please feel free to enjoy them." Moritani Teiji had a happy look on his face. He obviously enjoyed the praises he received from others.

"Then I'm welcome."

Seeing Mao Lilan pick up the biscuit and taste it, Moritani Teiji stepped forward and asked: "How does it taste? Is it to your liking?"

"This almond biscuit is delicious."

"As long as you like it, then I'll pay for all the hard work I put into making it last night."

The guests around him started talking after hearing this. Ritsu Sasashima didn't have much interest in sweets. He picked up a piece of chocolate biscuit that didn't look too sweet. The texture was really good and the taste was not bad. Worse than those sold in bakery stores.

It doesn’t matter if you invite Kudo or make sweets with your heart.Sasashima Ritsu thought about it but still couldn't figure out Moritani Teiji's purpose. What on earth was he going to do with the purchased explosives?
However, at this moment, Teiji Moritani turned his attention to Kudo Shinichi and said with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Kudo, I want to ask you a question, is it okay?"

"Huh? Of course."

"Yes, recently I have to help a company run by three people to deduce an Internet password. You are a high school detective and you should be able to solve it quickly, right?"

hostility.

Ritsu Sasashima keenly sensed Moritani Teiji's hostility toward Kudo. What was going on?Did something happen between the two of them that I couldn't find out?

"Reasoning? Of course, you can."

After Moritani Teiji took out a piece of paper and handed it to Kudo, he distributed the rest to the guests, and finally came to Onizawa Takashi and smiled: "Mr. Onizawa, I think as a police officer, you should be able to answer it quickly. "

"Let me try."

Not knowing what this person wanted to do, Sasashima Ritsu kept smiling and answered the question within a minute of taking the paper.

He was not in a hurry to tell the answer, because Sasashima Ritsu knew very well that although Moritani gave the question to everyone present, he was only targeting Kudo Shinichi.
