Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 144 The Invitation of the Philanthropist

In the afternoon of the next day, Kogoro started the car and was about to leave for a dinner party at the home of Ms. Su Fang Hongzi in the suburbs.

Fei Yingli opened the passenger seat and sat in.

"Why are you here? Isn't it good to stay at home?"

Feiyingli frowned, and stared at her eyes: "What's the matter, are you starting to dislike me?"

Kogoro gasped, where was my gentle, generous and understanding wife?
"No, am I not thinking of your body?"

Fei Yingli fastened her seat belt and said, "It is for my health that I have to go out and walk more. And now is a critical period, so I must keep an eye on you."

Kogoro thought in his heart, let me go, I was treated as a cow and plowed to death, finally I can rest, if I don't nourish my body, I will lose weight.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I will be in front of your eyes 24 hours a day."

In the back seat of the car, Xiaolan took Conan and Wangcai to sit firmly, and Xiaogoro started the car.

Speaking of Su Fang Hongzi, she used to be a popular singer, known as Canary.Later, he changed his job to be the president and ran a media company.However, she is more talked about as a great philanthropist.

But speaking of the president, Kogoro glanced at the well-behaved Conan from the rearview mirror, and always felt that there was a capitalized "danger" on Su Fang Hongzi's head.

The car drove out of the urban area and went to the suburbs.

Due to the recent snowfall, the suburbs of this northern district are covered with a vast expanse of whiteness, and the trees have lost all their leaves within a few days, leaving each tree bare.

I have to sigh the magic of nature.

The car was not going fast, and after a turn, Kogoro stepped on the brake lightly.There was a tire-thick tree trunk in the middle of the road in front of it, and the car couldn't get through it at all.

"Shouldn't some national road chief come out to rob us?"

Kogoro unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out.

Conan also quickly followed, and at a glance, he saw a piece of paper nailed to the tree trunk.

"Uncle, there's something on it."

Kogoro tore off the paper and found that it was a sentence spelled out with the words cut out of the newspaper.

Don't help Su Fang Hongzi's charity gala, or you will regret it.Enter the Messenger of the Cursed Mask.

Kogoro knew that a case would definitely happen now.

Kogoro handed the paper to Conan: "Hey, Conan, what do you think?"

After reading it, Conan said, "I think something will definitely happen. I think it's better for us to hurry to Su Fang Hongzi's house."

"Then why don't you come to help?"

Kogoro said, "Come on, let's move the trunk away together."

Conan rolled his eyes: Are you sure you want me to help?

Kogoro picked up Conan and threw it away, muttering, "Hmph, a piece of useless wood."

Kogoro lifted one side of the tree trunk and moved to the side of the road. Seeing this, Xiaolan immediately came down to help.Fortunately, the trunk was not heavy, and it was hollow inside. It took a few minutes for the two of them to move the trunk into the snow.

Back in the car, the group continued to set off.

Walking along the road, it was another 10 minutes away, and saw a magnificent house in the distance, and Kogoro turned there.

It was afternoon at this time, and the warm sunshine warmed the earth. There was no snow in the cleaned courtyard, and the car easily drove to the gate of the house.

The house is very magnificent, but the gate is only seven or eight meters high.The house is symmetrical from left to right as a whole, even if the demolition ghost Teiji Moritani comes, he can't find any reason to blow up here.

"It looks like this house has decades of history."

Kogoro is thinking about whether he wants to build a whole building up or down in the future. This kind of red exterior wall, Roman columns, and Western European style courtyard really look very grand.

Kogoro parked the car, and everyone got out of the car one after another.

Conan was wearing a small suit and his legs were bare, so he didn't feel cold at all.He looked at the photographer who was taking pictures of the house, and felt very familiar.

"This uncle seems to be the photographer Masaki Katagiri."

Kogoro didn't have any impression at all. He looked at Fei Yingli, but found that the other party was also looking at him blankly.

Xiaolan did know, she said: "This photographer has traveled to many countries and regions all over the world, and is a well-known photographer who specializes in taking pictures of beautiful scenery."

Masaki Katagiri is in his 40s, and his skin is a bit dark, which seems to be due to taking pictures outside all the year round.He was wearing a black suit, black and white shirt, and a light blue scarf that didn't look warm, showing a sense of hierarchy.

After hearing Xiaolan's words, he enthusiastically came over to say hello.

"Hello, sir, you are the famous detective, Mori Kogoro, right? My name is Katagiri Masaki, and I am a photographer."

Kogoro shook hands with him: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and a car and a taxi also arrived at the house one after another.

Getting out of the car was a dark-skinned young man wearing a yellow-brown sweater.Kogoro knew this man, his name was Matsudaira Mori, he was a baseball player, known as the home run king.

The one who got out of the taxi was an intellectual beauty in her 20s, wearing a black windbreaker and a light purple scarf. The hem of the scarf hangs down to her knees, making her look very tall.

Matsudaira was a little excited, and he greeted enthusiastically: "You are Miss Liangyao, the master of tarot card divination, right?"

"it's me."

Nagara Haruka was a little cold and independent.

Mamoru Matsudaira didn't mind. He said, "It's really you. Speaking of which, every time I play, I will choose different gloves to play according to your fortune-telling and my lucky color that day."

Fei Yingli stared at Kogoro, and Kogoro immediately noticed the sharp gaze, and he whispered, "It's normal to look twice, this is basic courtesy."

"Oh? But I didn't say anything? What are you explaining?"

I he meow...

"Cough cough."

Kogoro coughed dryly and asked, "Are you all invited to the charity gala next week?"

"Indeed. But..."

Nagara Haruka took out a Tarot card and said: "This house gives me a very ominous feeling. I feel that there will be a catastrophe."

Kogoro and Conan show hidden fox faces, so can't they have something nice to say?

Kogoro took out a note and said, "Did you see this on the road?"

The note was naturally the warning letter that cursed the mask, so the other three were surprised to find that they had also received such a letter.

While several people were struggling, the left and right entrance doors of the villa opened together, and a maid wearing a crimson maid outfit came out.They both look the same, have the same voice, tone of voice, and demeanor of movement.

The only thing that can tell their identity is their hair.

The one with 37 cut hair and bangs facing right is called Nami Shimokasaho.

The one with 73-part hair and bangs facing left is called Shimokasa Mi Naho.
