Chapter 115: Timing the Detonation of the Skyscraper (2)

After Kogoro Mori took the note, Teiji Moriya looked at the guests around him with the stack of notes in his hand.

"If you are interested, you can try to decipher it. The first group of people who successfully decipher it will receive a small prize I have prepared."

After hearing what Moriya Teiji said, the guests walked up to him and took a piece of paper with a puzzle written on it.

During this time, Moriya Teiji continued to explain.

"On the note were the names, blood types, birth dates, and hobbies of three people. The answer was a five-character kana composed of the common characteristics of the three of them."

"You have three minutes to think about it."

Gao Muming looked at the information on the note and raised his eyebrows.

“This topic is quite interesting.”

As he said this, he took the note and returned to the corner where Yagami Hikaru and Toyama Tomoyuki were standing.

"If you are interested, you can try to solve it. The answer is very interesting."

After hearing what Takagi Akira said, Yagami Hikaru took the note from Takagi Akira's hand with great interest.

"Let me see."

Yuanshan Lun noticed the meaning behind Gao Muming's words, looked at the guests around him who were thinking hard, leaned close to Gao Muming and asked him in a low voice.

"President, from what you just said, do you already know the answer?"

Under the gaze of Yuanshan Lun, Gao Muming nodded slightly and replied in a low voice.

"This question was obviously given by Mr. Moriya Teiji specifically to the famous detective Maori Kogoro. After all, we still need help from him, so we won't steal the show."

As he spoke, Gao Muming glanced at the guests around him who were deep in thought, and with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he continued to speak softly to Yuanshan Lun.

"But I can give you a little hint. The names, blood types, and interests are irrelevant. They are just traps to confuse people. If you want to solve the puzzle, the key is the birthdays of the three people."

Yagami Hikaru, who was standing by, was looking at the puzzle. He rubbed his hair in annoyance because he couldn't figure out the answer. Then he spoke to Toyama Ren who was whispering with Takagi Akira.

"Lun, I can't think of it. Please help me think about it."

When he heard Yagami Hikaru calling him, Toyama Lun immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

"I'll be right there, Hikaru."

Toyama Ren came close to Yagami Hikaru and looked at the puzzle on the note.

"It's related to birthdays, and the first thing that comes to mind is the zodiac and the constellation. The president also said before that the answer is childish, so the answer should be related to fairy tales or animation or something like that."

"But the birthdays provided on the note are only accurate to the month and the constellation cannot be determined, so it should be the Chinese zodiac. Let me think about what the Chinese zodiac signs of the three of them should be."

"Their zodiac signs are Monkey, Rooster, and Dog."

Thinking of this, Yuanshan Lun laughed.

"I see. No wonder the president said he had a childlike innocence. It was Momotaro."

Just when Toyama Ren was about to explain to Yagami Hikaru, Conan's voice rang out among the guests.

"I know, the answer is Momotaro."

After hearing the child's voice, all the guests turned their eyes to Conan who was standing there with his hands raised high.

Amid everyone's surprised looks, Conan began to explain.

"The three people's birthdays correspond to the zodiac signs of Monkey, Rooster and Dog, and they are all Momotaro's followers. So the answer is Momotaro."

Moriya Teiji took the cigarette butt out of his mouth, opened his arms and walked towards Conan.

"You got it right, little brother, that's amazing."

As he spoke, Moriya Teiji led the applause, and the guests present followed suit.

"Since little Conan guessed the answer correctly, I invite you to visit my exhibition room as a prize."

As he said this, Moriya Teiji looked at Xiaolan who was beside Conan.

"Ms. Xiaolan can also come along."

"Really? Thank you so much."

"Then please enjoy this wonderful afternoon tea. I will take Miss Xiaolan and Conan to visit my exhibition room first."

After saying this, Moriya Teiji bowed to the guests present, and left the venue with Conan and Xiaolan.

After they left, Gao Muming secretly observed and paid special attention to the movements of the people around him.

Gao Muming was a little surprised that none of the guests did anything strange until the three of them returned.

Time passed, and as Teiji Moriya announced the end of the tea party, all the guests were sent out of Teiji Moriya's villa without any incident.

After ordering people to put away the tables and chairs for the tea party in the backyard, Moriya Teiji looked at Takagi Akira and his three companions.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. You want to learn about British architecture during the Stuart period. Let's go to the reception room to talk."

"Excuse me."

Moriya Teiji waved his hand.

"Nothing. You can always ask me questions about British architecture during the Stuart period. I will answer you anytime I have time."

"I feel bad for always bothering you."

A smile appeared on Moriya Teiji's somewhat old-fashioned face.

"I have a fondness for people who have a strong sense of responsibility for their work."

“For things you don’t understand, don’t just do it casually, but ask professionals for advice. Even though you are young, I still appreciate your attitude of being serious and responsible about your work.”

For the next period of time, Moriya Teiji took out a lot of information and began to explain it to Yagami Hikaru and Toyama Lun. The two listened quietly and asked questions in time when they encountered something they didn't understand.

After a very friendly exchange, as it was getting dark, Takagi Akira and his companions stood up to say goodbye, and Moriya Teiji escorted Takagi Akira and the other two out of his villa.

Sitting in the back row, holding a pile of materials related to British architecture during the Stuart period provided by Teiji Moriya, Yagami Hikaru looked at Toyama Rin who was sitting next to him.

"When I first heard that he was a university professor, I was a little worried that Mr. Moriya Teiji might be a very serious person, but in fact, he is a very charming person."

Toyama Lun, who was about to agree, seemed a little shaken and his expression became a little flustered when he heard Yagami Hikaru say that Moriya Teiji was a very charming person.

"Xiao Guang, you won't fall in love with him, will you?"

Seeing the tears in Toyama Lun's eyes, Yagami Hikari was a little confused.

"Hey! What are you thinking about? How is it possible..."

Not paying much attention to the interaction between the two people in the back seat, Gao Muming, who was driving, couldn't help but start to murmur in his heart.

"It's not a good sign that nothing happened when the Death family traveled."

After sending Yagami Hikaru and Toyama Tomo to their shared apartment, Takagi Akira drove home.

"The Grim Reaper is silent, he must be causing trouble. Could it be that I have suddenly entered the theater, and the reason nothing has happened so far is because he is holding back his ultimate move?"

The more Gao Muming thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he logged into the chat group as soon as he got home.
