Conan: Silence in the Dark

"Tea garden party?" Xiaolan asked questioningly over the phone.

"I said that you rarely called me!I didn't expect it to be this kind of thing!but~" Xiaolan first scolded the other end of the phone.

"Correspondingly, I also have a condition, you will accompany me to the midnight movie next Saturday. We hadn't seen each other for so long, so it was decided to meet at 10 o'clock on Saturday night in the lobby of Rice Flower Cinema City. "

"No, it must be on May 3rd. Although she didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, Xiao Jing knew that the Shinichi who became Conan would definitely refuse, and Xiao Lan would say the above words.

"By the way, which color do you prefer, red or blue? Xiaolan said happily.

"Xiaolan, aren't you cooking yet?" Kogoro urged, as he watched TV.

"Hey, I'll get ready right away. Okay, then Shinichi is decided. Xiaolan didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and hung up the phone.

"Xiao Jing is hungry too, so I'll start cooking right away. Daddy hasn't started eating yet, so don't start drinking now!" said Xiaolan and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'm back. Conan also returned home shortly after.

"It's just time to start eating, and I'm worried about you Conan just now. Xiao Jing said as she brought the food to the small table in the living room.

"You just called that little ghost from Shinichi and said May 3rd or something?" Kogoro asked with a suspicious expression.

"May 4 is Shinichi's birthday, so I asked him to go to the midnight show on May 3. I'm going to give him the red shirt I bought at midnight on the Fourth of May, and I'm going to surprise him!".

"I hope the washing machine brother won't be frightened by the surprise when the time comes. Xiao Jing stared at Conan, and his tone sounded very strange to Conan's ears.

Anyway, Conan must have missed the appointment, and I don't know what reason he is going to find.

"And what movie are you going to see?" Kogoro then asked.

"The Legend of the Red Line. "

Just by the name, you know it's a romantic movie.

It is a legend that men and women who are destined to be together have a red thread tied to their little fingers when they are born. The movie is a romantic movie with this story as its theme. Xiaolan explained expectantly.

Sure enough, .....

"You see, Shinichi and I were lucky in red for May, so I decided to watch this movie. "

"I hope the washing machine brother will be on time. Saying that, Xiao Jing took a hard bite of the fish in her mouth.

Hey, I've gotten so small that I obviously can't go and see it together. And it's your sister's unilateral decision, so it's useless for you to stare at me. Conan was a little helpless to defend Xiao Jing's gaze.

"Wait a minute, you just said you were going to see a midnight show?" Kogoro asked as he suddenly thought of something, holding a bowl.

"yes. "

"No, no! I won't allow it!" What are the words of young men and women making love all night in a dimly lit movie theater!" Kogoro clearly thought of another direction.

"That's not the case, Dad, don't think about it! Who told Shinichi to forget his birthday every year, I'm just reminding him!" Xiaolan took Kogoro's dishes and chopsticks and explained.

No, no, it's useless to think about it, Shinichi has already become the opposite. Thinking about it, Xiao Jing looked at Conan with an unkind gaze again, and at the same time took the chopsticks that Xiao Lan took from Kogoro's hand.

"But you're both high school students...."Kogoro wanted to say something when he got his food back from Xiao Jing's hand.

"By the way, Dad, let's go to the tea garden party of Emperor Sengu II. Xiaolan interjected.

"Why did you say this suddenly?" asked Kogoro who was a little puzzled by Xiaolan's topic.

"The one who was invited was originally Shinichi, but he couldn't go, Xiao Jing Conan, let's go together. Xiaolan took out the invitation and said with a smile.

"I'll go, I'll go. Conan naturally responded by saying that he wanted to go.

Originally, it was a good thing to invite you, but Xiao Jing continued to eat without speaking.

"How could I possibly take the invitation to Shinichi. Kogoro, who wanted to save face, immediately vetoed it.

"Isn't Emperor Morigu the famous architect? This is a historic meeting between a detective and a famous architect. Conan flickered.

"Let's go, anyway, my father didn't have any arrangements that day, just to attend a tea party. Xiao Jing knew from Conan's appearance that he would definitely not fool Kogoro to go, and he would not stop.

"Well, I'm talking about detectives and architects. Hahaha. "

On the day of the tea party on April 29.

"It's so big!" sighed Xiaolan, who entered the gate.

The interest of the rich. Xiao Jing, who was wearing a small suit, couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart.

"It is indeed a traditional English building from the 17th-century Orthodox Stuart period. Kogoro said pretendly.

"Dad, you know so much about buildings?" Sure enough, he received Xiaolan's adoring gaze.

"People used to call you Daddy Mobile Library. You take a closer look at the left and right sides, and you see if you find anything. As a result, Kogoro immediately got carried away.

"Ah, really. As long as you stand in the middle, the garden and both sides of the house are the same. Xiaolan observed and said.

This kind of building is called left-right symmetry, and because Professor Sengu has spent time in England until high school, he is particularly fascinated by British architecture. Especially..."Kogoro, who continued to explain, suddenly stopped.

"In particular, I am very persistent in classical style, and I even changed my name in order to pursue art. In the past, he was called Shiji, but now he has changed to the second emperor who is symmetrical on the left and right. Shizue had already picked up Kogoro's words when Kogoro reached out and took out the cheat sheet in his pocket.

"It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful garden. Xiaolan said happily.

In fact, the garden of the Yuanzi family is not as good as this, but Xiao Jing will definitely not say it.

"It's my honor to be praised by you, hello, I'm Emperor Sengu. "This is Teji Moriko, who is wearing a pale green suit, walking over.

, Xiaolan also immediately greeted Emperor Sengu and explained the situation.

"Well, Kudo Shinichi didn't come. After learning the news that Shinichi was not coming, Emperor Morigu revealed disappointment in his expression and tone.

"But this uncle is also a detective. Conan pointed at Kogoro and said, and Kogoro also walked in front of Emperor Moriko from behind.

"It's Mori Kogoro under it, please give me a lot of advice. "

"Ah, you are the famous one~" Emperor Moriko also shook hands with Kogoro.

Later, Emperor Moriko took the group to the back garden where the party was taking place.

"I made all the cookies, sandwiches and snacks here today with my own hands. Entering the back garden, Emperor Morigu naturally chatted with everyone.

"Not bad. Xiao Jing ran to the side and picked up the snack and tasted it, Xiao Jing was not interested in this kind of communicative tea party.

"Xiao Jing, can you also go with you on the day of watching the movie and lead Xiaolan away. Conan wants to find Xiao Jing to solve his dating dilemma with Xiao Lan.

Xiao Jing didn't look at him, and walked to the chair next to him with a small plate and a small piece of cake.

"Xiao Jing, are you still angry about what happened last time?" Conan said helplessly, since the last incident, Xiao Jing has always deliberately ignored or hostile him, and he has really been very uncomfortable these days.

"Yes, it's upset that our detective thinks only about justice. Xiao Jing also simply admitted.

"But!" Conan tried to make further excuses, but was stopped by Jing's gesture.

"I don't want to know your reasons. All I know is that you are in danger to our family, and I have no sense of it, and I have told you a long time ago that I don't want to get involved in trouble without any preparation, especially if this trouble is caused by you. Xiao Jing said while eating.

"And you should at least explain to your sister that you can't meet her for the time being, so that she can be prepared. Escaping is just a temporary measure, you and your sister haven't seen each other for a long time, and you know it yourself, and your sister is almost starting to get suspicious. Xiao Jing said and quickly solved the contents of the small plate, and then wiped her mouth elegantly.

"They have to have a stronger sense of responsibility for their work!" came the voice of Emperor Moriko, drawing the attention of Conan and Shizu.

"By the way, Detective Maori has a question for you, don't you mind?" Conan and Kojing returned to Ran and Kogoro when they heard Emperor Moriko say to Kogoro.

"It's a code-guessing puzzle, and I think Mr. Maori's words will be solved right away. Although it was said that it was a consultation, it did not give Kogoro room to refuse.

"Is that Mori Kogoro?" The guests nearby obviously knew Kogoro well, after all, Kogoro was also famous now.

"Speak, please. Kogoro sorted out his thoughts, pretended to be serious, and said.
