Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 148 Sunflower

Fujiwara and Kogoro waited in front of the apartment building for a long time, and finally entered the apartment building with the help of a kind person. They asked the administrator inside about Kitagawaoka's situation, and learned from him that Kitagawa Takeshi was a year old. Move things from here before.

"Then do you know where he went?"

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with him, and for a guy who likes to make noise, who cares where he goes..." Looking at the chattering administrator, Fujiwara and the others learned that Kitagawaoka had a mediocre reputation, and even said that the neighbors The neighbors are a bit disgusted with it.

"Are you his friends?"

Seeing that the uncle was about to get angry, Mouri Kogoro quickly stated that he had nothing to do with him.

After going out, Kogoro lit a cigarette and complained to Fujiwara that the person Miss Noriko fell in love with didn't seem to have a good reputation. He thought about how to explain this matter to her clearly, "It's a pity for Miss Noriko, she actually likes this kind of person." Guy."

Fujiwara didn't answer because he knew that Okatani Noriko specifically entrusted Kogoro to find and kill that person, so as long as Kogoro found out the address and sent it to her, she would take action.

"It seems that we can only check here today. Come on, I will take you to a good place."

It's getting late tonight, so it's not convenient to continue the investigation. It's not a murder case anyway, so there's no need to knock on someone else's door in the middle of the night.

"It's such a good place. You won't go to Miss Towako's place again, right? Teacher, please stop doing it..."

He has a very beautiful wife, but this guy deliberately drags her out to fool around with her. (Although they were just drinking and chatting, the most they could do was touch hands.)
  It's true that there's nothing left to talk about. There haven't been any big cases recently, so Mouri Kogoro doesn't have much funding for activities.

"Uh-huh, it's not there, it's another very good place. You'll know when you go there."

(If I had money, why not go to Miss Towako?)

But it's not that he has no money at all. He saved one million for Conan's maintenance fee. After all, his parents entrusted him to him specifically, so he had to take good care of him, right?

Fujiwara thought about it for a long time and came to a bar called Sunflower.

The Maori Detective Agency is at least five kilometers away from here. Fujiwara was curious as to why Kogoro came back to visit such a remote distance.

"right here."

After seeing the door number, Kogoro happily introduced this place.

"Even though this bar is small, it has a lot of charm inside. You can have a good drink every time you come here."

The prices of drinks here are reasonable and not exorbitant, and there is a beautiful proprietress who is eloquent. The overall atmosphere of the pub is very good, so this is why he is willing to spend a long time here.

"Okay, the teacher pays anyway, so I won't be polite."

"You kid..."

Okay, considering that I have never paid him a salary, it’s not too much to treat him to a drink.

After the two entered, they found that it was very lively. They were probably all regular customers of the bar. When they saw Kogoro Mori coming in, everyone greeted him enthusiastically.

"Here you go, Detective Maori. Hey, we brought a new person with us today. Isn't he your apprentice who writes novels?"

"I think he looks handsome. He should be that handsome guy."

"Hahaha…"

"It seems that Fujiwara-kun likes fitness very much. Have you signed up for any training class?"

This was the first time that Fujiwara was judged by so many people, which made him a little embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone had no intention of continuing to embarrass themselves and warmly invited the two of them to sit down.

After a few glasses of communication wine, Fujiwara slowly relaxed and lay on the bar, silently listening to everyone's jokes and interesting things they encountered.

He is not good at sociability, so he just needs to be a listener. Well, he can learn about other people's interesting stories and understand their inner activities and emotional entanglements. I plan to write an original novel in the future.

Although he has been listed as a young author, he has no original works that he can produce, and they are all copied.

Bunchao is important, but after publishing nearly ten comic books and short novels, Fujiwara feels numb. But when he thinks that while he is in Bunchao, he is also enriching the spiritual and cultural literacy of people in the world, he will Accept it all with peace of mind.

Noticing that Fujiwara's look was different from the others, the attentive Hiroko Inoue came over, waited for him to raise his head and said softly, "It seems that you are very unhappy. Is there something on your mind?"

Fujiwara glanced at the charming landlady and said with a smile, "It's nothing, thank you for your concern." The purple sleeveless knee-length dress has a different flavor, but do all aunts of this age like purple?

Speaking of which, lawyer Fei often wears purple clothes.

"Is there any wine or drink you would like to drink? I can help Fujiwara-kun make it."

...

Although he guessed that her purpose was to sell alcohol, Fujiwara did not intend to be fooled.

"No need, I didn't bring any money today. If the teacher doesn't help me pay the bill, I'll be embarrassed."

I don't want to pay for the wine inside or out.

"Maybe Mr. Maori didn't tell you that every new customer here gets a free order for the first time."

"Free of charge for the first time?"

"Yes." The landlady showed a pleasant smile.

"Then how does your tavern make money?"

Aren’t you afraid that after the first drink, you won’t be able to come back the second time?
  "Business almost depends on the support of these repeat customers. Business is like this, a steady stream of water will grow."

"That's right." Fujiwara agreed.

"So have you thought about it? You can order a bottle of wine today."

"Then let's have a bottle of Sherry."

"Sherry? Wait a minute." He said and took out a glass of sherry from the wine cabinet behind him, then took out a cup from the cabinet and poured out the reddish-brown wine.

The wine became red and viscous under the reflection of the light.

Fujiwara held the wine to his nose and smelled it. The flavors of almonds and figs came up, along with a hint of nutty aroma.

"Sherry is called the sunshine in the bottle. It is round and silky and is suitable for drinking neat."

"Well, it does smell good."

The wine has a round body and a velvety-smooth taste. The rich caramel flavor is perfectly balanced with the oak flavor. The aftertaste is sweet and layered and long.

"It's a very magical wine, I like it very much myself." The proprietress leaned on her elbows, tilted her head and smiled.

The landlady at this time can indeed be described as charming, and her smile is very contagious. The reason why there are a steady stream of repeat customers is probably because of her smile.

If I had to use one word to describe this smile, it would be sunflower...

"Depend on!"

Fujiwara seemed to understand the reason for the name of this bar. It turned out to be the smile of the landlady.

"Hahaha……"

"Why did Fujiwara-kun laugh so suddenly?"

"I thought of a fun thing. Please save this bottle of sherry for me. I want to use it next time I come over."

"Yes, but you will be charged next time."

"No problem, I will bring money next time."
