Chapter 229 Conversation, Conan starts again, sanctions from Haihara Ai

Not only Conan, but Mao Lilan was also curious about the sudden appearance of Nursery Rhymes and others. She curiously asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Ritsuka, why are there so many children around you all of a sudden? Where did they come from?"

She smiled and replied:

"They are all my children. They just happened to visit me recently, so I took them here to have a look."

"That's it."

Mao Lilan nodded suddenly and said with a smile:

"Your children are so cute, they are really enviable."

Conan originally just stayed quietly next to Mao Lilan and observed Nursery Rhymes and the others with some curiosity. He did not deliberately eavesdrop on the conversation between Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mao Lilan.

But at this moment, he suddenly frowned and felt something was wrong.

Some time ago, he was obsessed with investigating the true identity of Fujimaru Ritsuka, but due to various reasons, there was not much progress.

Later, after receiving a warning from Dr. Agasa, he realized his problem and conducted self-reflection. He was no longer as persistent as before, and the investigation of Fujimaru Ritsuka was stopped.

Therefore, his understanding of Fujimaru Ritsuka has stayed at that time, including——

1. Fujimaru Ritsuka has learned martial arts in her family and is very skilled;

2. The Fujimaru Ritsuka family is very wealthy, but also very mysterious;

3. Fujimaru Ritsuka was suspected of having conflicts with her family, so she ran away from home and came to Yoneka Town;

4. Fujimaru Ritsuka needs to handle family affairs, which may be very important and have a strong connection with Fujimaru Ritsuka's identity, so Haibara Ai knew but chose to keep it a secret.

And what Fujimaru Ritsuka said just now suddenly evoked his inner memory and attracted his attention again.

Because he and Haibara Ai once inferred that Fujimaru Ritsuka might have been ostracized within the family based on what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "Although there are many children in the family, few call her sister." runaway.

But now, Fujimaru Ritsuka is not only accompanied by housekeeper James, but also by Mashu and so many children who can play with her. It doesn't look like she is being ostracized at home.

Therefore, the original third inference is self-defeating.

At the same time, looking at the children who suddenly appeared in front of him, who may be from the same family as Fujimaru Ritsuka, Conan suddenly felt that maybe this time he could really find out the details of Fujimaru Ritsuka, so he suddenly felt a little worried. Unbearable itching.

……no!

Thinking of this, Conan suddenly woke up and quickly warned himself:

Shinichi, Shinichi, why are you so unsure? Didn't you agree not to investigate? Why did the old habit happen again?

While Conan was fighting the demon of curiosity in his heart, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to praise each other with Maori Ran. She smiled and said:

"Thank you for the compliment. Your Conan is very cute too."

"Conan-kun is not actually from our family..."

Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly, and then said with some distress:

"Besides, it's cute. It would be nice if she could be more stable."

"Every time he encounters a case, he likes to run around at the scene. I really don't know why he is so curious and bold."

"..."

Mao Lilan's words immediately made Conan feel guilty and turned his head aside, pretending not to hear anything.

On the other side, with Bo Dao as a link, Tong Yao and the others and the three members of the Junior Detective Team also got to know each other briefly and got along pretty well.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro, who was beside Mao Lilan, asked Fujimaru Ritsuka a little strangely:

"Speaking of which, where did you little girl get the invitation letter? It couldn't be because of your office that hasn't opened much yet, right?"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Uncle Maori, you are really right this time. My invitation letter was indeed obtained through the business of the mysterious firm."

"Eh - is it true or false?"

Mouri Kogoro's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief:

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Conan also looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with some surprise. He originally thought that the other party got the invitation through his family connections, but he didn't expect that it was through the mysterious agency.

You must know that this press conference invited elites and leaders from all walks of life in Japanese society. Mouri Kogoro was also invited as a very well-known detective today.

And if Fujimaru Ritsuka really got the invitation because of her mysterious agency, doesn't it mean that her mysterious agency is actually very famous?

But when I think about the fact that the other party's office has not been open a few times so far, it seems a bit unreasonable.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and explained:

"The firm received a commission. After the incident, the client forwarded the invitation letter given to her to us."

"So this is ah."

Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized.

However, the client who could receive the invitation letter must be a powerful person. Such a person would actually entrust Fujimaru Ritsuka's mysterious agency. Mouri Kogoro rubbed his chin and said:

"Tsk, there are actually people who believe in these mysterious things, I don't understand..."

At this time, Haiyuan Ai walked up to Conan calmly and said to him interestingly:

"Maybe you know the client Ritsuka-sister mentioned?"

"Eh?"

Conan looked at her with a surprised expression and asked with some confusion:

"Who?"

Then, he said somewhat suspiciously:

"You don't want to say it's Dr. Ali, do you?"

"of course not."

Hui Yuan Ai chuckled and quickly announced the answer:

"It's a mystery novelist named Nagumo Ryunosuke."

"What, Nagumo Ryunosuke-sensei?!"

This time, his eyes widened in surprise and he asked in disbelief:

"real or fake?!"

As a person who grew up watching "Sherlock Holmes" and became a detective, of course he likes reading detective novels very much, so of course he is not unfamiliar with the name Ryunosuke Nagumo.

As the leader of a generation of young writers in Japan's mystery novel world today, although his international reputation is far less than that of his father, he is now highly respected by fans of mystery novels in China.

He has read all the novels published by the other party so far, and has also ordered a copy of "Summer Returns" which is on pre-sale, so he can be regarded as a loyal fan of the other party's books.

For fans of Nagumo Ryunosuke's books, one of the most talked-about points is that the author's true identity has never been announced so far, and he is a completely mysterious existence.

Therefore, Conan quickly asked Haiyuan Ai:

"Are you also involved in Ritsuka's commission? Have you met Mr. Ryunosuke Nagumo? What kind of person is he?"

Seeing Conan's impatient look, Haihara Ai showed a wicked smile, and then uttered two words that made him feel desperate——

"you guess?"

After saying that, she turned and left with brisk steps, leaving Conan standing alone with a dark face.

"...Hui Yuan...!"

Looking at Haiyuan Ai's leaving figure, Conan was so angry that his teeth itched.

He should have known a long time ago that this hateful woman who was full of bad taste could only tease him, how could she tell the answer so easily.

"Damn it, it's so despicable!"

He gritted his teeth unwillingly.

Come on, come on, come on!

I should be able to get home at noon tomorrow, and then I can update it on my computer. Great!

It is really difficult for me to code on my mobile phone.
