I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

I didn't even know I had such a relative.

Chapter 283 Invitation to the Dusk Annex

　　Although she looks serious and cold, and seems a bit inhumane, Sera Marie is actually the type who is strong on the outside but soft on the inside.

This can be seen in the way she treats her daughter.

To a certain extent, he and Xiao Ai have the same personality, and they are worthy of being relatives.

Therefore, when Shinichi revealed the identity of the sisters, he was not worried that Mary would have other intentions.

After all, they are relatives whose blood is thicker than water.

Even if there is no scene like ordinary people hugging each other and crying when they meet again after a long separation, you can still feel a faint warmth invisibly.

Shinichi did not disturb the family. He told Mari and Sera Masumi that if they had anything to do, they would talk about it later, leaving them some space.

Walking on the street with an umbrella, he was now preparing to go to the Maori Detective Agency.

When she was on the phone in the morning, Xiaolan mentioned that Nanatsuki Koshizui seemed to have something to ask him.

Shinichi still admires this female detective.

When you talk about opening a detective agency, you really open one.

None of them accepted the sponsorship of the garden, just a maid who graduated from high school, and a female college student who dropped out of college.

Although Xiao Lan was the middleman and Fei Yingli helped with the complicated procedures, they did not pay less for the rent that should be paid.

According to the average price of renting a rice flower shop, the Maori Detective Agency itself is somewhat famous.

At least when it comes to detecting affairs, catching mistresses, and finding lost cats and dogs.

The two paid the rent for five years in one go, as if they were determined to carry out their detective career to the end.

Even for a place to live, they rented a small apartment opposite the detective agency.

It's not too big, and it's almost enough for two girls to live in.

Although Xiaolan moved to Fei Yinglina, she would still come back here from time to time to help her father clean the house and prepare some lunches to put in the refrigerator.

Over time, she became more familiar with Koshimi Nanatsuki and Mizuguchi Kana.

It was Koshizu Nanatsuki who called her last night and asked her to tell Shinichi about it.

"Lavender Detective Agency, it's a really good name.~"

Standing downstairs, Shinichi raised his head and smiled slightly.

The original characters "Maori Detective Agency" on the second floor window were replaced with the name of the new agency.

Having helped with the Lavender Annex case, Shinichi immediately guessed that they gave the detective agency this name to commemorate it.

For a female detective, it's quite suitable.

When I arrived at the door of the office, before I could knock on the door, there was a ping-pong-pong-pong noise in the house.

“Is this tearing down the house?”

The outstretched hand stopped on the door, and Shinichi suddenly felt that if he knocked on the door, he might get into trouble.

Unfortunately, when he realized this, it was still a step too late.

With a "bang--", the door in front of her was pushed open violently. Mizuguchi Kana, who was wearing a maid uniform, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw someone standing at the door.

Then his eyes lit up and without saying a word, he took Shinichi's hand and dragged him into the office.

……

"So, what's going on?"

Taking the coffee handed over by the maid, Shinichi took a sip and asked calmly.

When he was dragged in just now, he was really shocked, thinking that these two women had some evil intentions!

Fortunately, Mizuguchi Kana just put him on the sofa and went about making tea and getting snacks, as if she wanted to entertain him well.

The maid had a great impression of the young man who helped clear her name.

Even her good sister Keshui Nanatsuki looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Can't we just ask you to express our gratitude?"

Koshimi Nanatsuki, who had just walked out of the office's data room, was dirty and covered in dust.

It's just that the tomboy, who has no ladylike attitude at all, doesn't care about his appearance at all.

"You don't seem to be very satisfied with the decoration here?"

Seeing that the other party started to beat around the bush, Shinichi didn't ask any more questions and casually changed the topic.

Anyway, he will definitely not be the one who is anxious in the end.

Compared with before, many changes have taken place in the detective agency at this time.

The old TV sets were replaced with the latest wall-mounted LCD TVs, and furniture such as desks and sofas were also given a new look.

The walls have been repainted, and there are several pots of green plants placed in the corners, which makes people feel quite relaxed.

Looking through the open door, there are many decoration tools placed in the data room.

Apparently the sound Shinichi heard before entering the door came from there.

"Not at all. Although Detective Maori's taste is not good, the original detective agency is quite satisfactory. We are just renovating the place~"

Koshizui Nanatsuki winked playfully, keeping his eyes on Shinichi.

"Yes, Detective Maori can rent this place to us, we can't thank you enough! How can we dislike it?!"

The maid lady brought another cup of coffee and placed it in front of Koshimi Nanatsuki, smiling and looking at Shinichi.

Although she is doing some work in the office to receive guests, in fact, this is all at her own initiative.

She likes the profession of maid very much.

If calculated based on her status, she should also be the boss of this detective agency, commonly known as a partner.

After all, a large part of the cost of renting this place was the compensation she received after winning the lawsuit.

It's just that Mizuguchi Kana was not stunned by this sudden wealth because of her timid and kind character.

Being looked at by the two of them, Shinichi couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

If he hadn't known that they showed such expressions because they were grateful to him, Shinichi would have thought that these two people had other ideas.

".｀Ahem—if nothing happens, I'll go back first!"

"Don't worry, I actually received an interesting commission."

Koshizui Nanatsuki stopped Shinichi who was about to get up and took out a letter.

The invitation in the letter was written in black and white and looked quite hellish.

The above content is quite normal, Baraba (Okay), Shinichi quickly read to the end.

The signature of [Dusk Annex] marked at the end actually made him a little more interested.

"Isn't it okay to invite you to go alone?"

Putting the invitation back on the table, Shinichi looked at Koshimi Nanatsuki who was sitting across from him.

Like a tomboy, she looked very excited at the moment, with a slight blush on her face. Some people thought she had just finished some strenuous exercise.

"Don't you think this is a great opportunity?!"

With her hands on the table, her pupils seemed to be burning with fire.

"As far as I know, several detectives have received such invitations! In other words, this is a competition between detectives!"

As she spoke, she subconsciously leaned forward, and her lightly painted face almost touched Shinichi's face.

Detective Koshien, this is the competition that Koshimi Nanatsuki has always wanted!

Knowing Shinichi's reasoning ability, she naturally wanted to call him in too.

Chapter 284 The old woman who stopped the car halfway

　　In a mountainous area far away from the city, a gray Mazda was driving along the road.

This is the new car Koshimizu Nanatsuki bought after renting the detective agency.

In her words, as a detective, what can you do without a convenient means of transportation? !

Shinichi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and sighed slightly.

On such a gloomy rainy day, he actually didn't want to go out.

But he was really impressed by the Dusk Villa.

One couldn't hold back his curiosity and agreed to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's invitation.

"I wonder how Xiao Ai and the others at home are doing now?"

What worried Shinichi the most was undoubtedly the people he had just met in his family.

Although I wasn't worried that Sera Marie would hurt Little Lolita and Miyano Akemi, I still felt a little uneasy just letting them stay at home.

This feeling is like leaving a few Erha at home when you are about to go on a long trip.

We can't demolish the house, right?

Smiling to himself, Xinyi felt that he still thought too much.

"What's wrong? Looks absent-minded?"

Koshimi Nanatsuki looked very chic wearing sunglasses and holding the steering wheel.

Coupled with her tomboy-like dress, her whole body exuded a kind of coolness.

There were no other vehicles on this remote mountain road, so she took out a hand and patted Shinichi on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, sister will protect you! Hahaha!"

"Then I really thank you!"
