Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"You are actually father and daughter? Hahaha, what a fate!" Kikuemon seemed unable to contain his excitement.

In fact, he had not originally planned to release his new product today. After all, this was a work he had just completed not long ago, although it was a finished product that had withstood the test.

But before the new product is completed, it has to go through countless trials before it can create a work that satisfies itself.

However, because the eldest daughter of the Hayashi Group suddenly visited, Kikuemon thought again and again and decided to announce it in advance, and also invited his idol Mouri Kogoro.

That’s right, an idol!

Everyone has his or her own unique hobbies, and Kikuemon, a national treasure-level master of ceramics, is no exception.

He is very interested in all kinds of strange cases, has been paying attention to related reports, and knows all the famous detectives well.

And Kogoro Mouri is a famous detective he has been paying attention to recently. It is rare for him to become a famous detective in the area where Kudo Shinichi is active. Kikuemon is naturally very optimistic about him, and he was also very interested when chatting with Kogoro Mouri before.

At this moment, seeing that the person who came to visit him and the guest he invited were actually father and daughter, his joy was beyond words.

As expected, he is the detective that I favor. He has such strong connections in all aspects and is definitely a potential great detective that will dominate the whole country in the future.

"I didn't expect you and your daughter would meet by such a coincidence. It's great~ Please take a seat! It's a rare reunion, so let's have a good chat here!"

The daughter-in-law was equally excited. She had been worrying about how to receive the second daughter of the Suzuki Group!

It’s really great now. With Detective Maori and his daughter as a bridge of communication, there is nothing to worry about.

At least you don't have to worry about whether you are not hosting well enough or any problems may arise.

Since all the guests had arrived and Kikuemon was in a very good mood, he simply called everyone in the house out to get to know the guests.

Not only had Kikuemon's wife passed away, but his son had also passed away, otherwise it would not have been his daughter-in-law who took care of his daily life.

Therefore, besides him and his daughter-in-law, there were only three apprentices in the family.

The three disciples appeared one after another. Tian Yiyan was the oldest of the three, thirty-six years old. Seto Ryuichi and Otani Fumio were both thirty-five years old.

It is worth mentioning that the voice actor's name of Seto Ryuichi in "Detective Conan" is exactly the same as that of Officer Takagi Wataru, word for word. I wonder if this can be considered a different kind of coincidence.

As soon as several apprentices came out, they started asking their master directly. Judging from their tone, it should be about some bet they had made before.

"Master, has he made his choice?"

"I can't wait to see what he chooses!"

"Tell me now?"

When several disciples came out, they could not hide their excitement, and Kikuemon coughed loudly a few times.

"I haven't said it yet!" Kikuemon glared at them seriously, then turned to look at Mouri Kogoro.

Kikuemon stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the ceramic works around him.

"Mr. Maori, I specially invited you here this time. I specially allow you to choose a souvenir from these peripheral works to take back!"

"Each of these souvenirs is worth more than a million yen, and they are all precious items! No matter which one you choose, you will definitely not be disappointed!"

Kogoro Mori's pupils suddenly contracted and he looked at the things around him in shock. Each item was worth millions of yen.

However, the surrounding cabinets are filled with precious items. If you accidentally touch them, I am afraid that all your property will not be enough to compensate for them.

Matsumoto Akira also took a look. Ceramic works worth more than one million yen can be considered fine products. However, his net worth has skyrocketed recently, so he doesn't care about these things.

Suzuki Sonoko would not care at all, because among the daily necessities used in the Suzuki Group's home, there are treasures worth hundreds of millions of yen.

Not to mention the fine collections, anything related to daily necessities that was not used by the Suzuki family but instead was treasured is of inestimable value.

It can be said that even the best things that Kikuemon created with all his life's learning would not be worthy of entering the display cabinet of the Suzuki Group.

It is not even worthy of being used by the Suzuki family. This is not a question of whether it is expensive or not. It is simply because although the Suzuki family is rich, they are not obsessed with whether the things they use in daily life have historical traces.

As long as something is practical and valuable enough, that’s enough. Why bother about so much?

Suzuki Sonoko's calmness seemed natural to the people present. After all, the Suzuki Group was famous for its wealth.

Matsumoto Akira's calm behavior surprised them a little. Therefore, although they didn't know much about Matsumoto Akira's background, they were still more cautious towards him.

Kogoro Mori frowned, looked around, and wanted to ask his cheap son-in-law for his advice.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he saw Matsumoto Akira staring at the teacup in his hand.

Kogoro Mori suddenly realized and recognised without delay that the teacup in his hand was the most precious of the items in the circle.

He immediately said, "Then I'll just take the teacup in my hand."

The expressions of those disciples and Kikuemon's daughter-in-law froze for a moment.

What they originally expected to see was that Kogoro Maori would look around for a few times and then choose one of the items that was considered to be of high quality.

In the end they will reveal that the teacup held in Kogoro Mori's hand is the most precious of all the treasures around it.

This teacup is Kikuemon's masterpiece. Although it is not as famous as his masterpiece or the best work in history, it has been featured in magazines. Some people have offered a price of more than 10 million yen for it, and this price is valid for a long time.

"Father--"

The daughter-in-law looked at Kikuemon and wanted to say something, but Kikuemon interrupted her directly.

"I've already asked for it. Do you want me to break my promise? I didn't expect that Detective Maori would be able to pick out the most valuable one at first sight!"

Kikuemon was not angry about his work being taken away, after all, it was his decision.

He was just a little surprised that Kogoro Mori, who seemed to know little about ceramics, could pick the most expensive piece at once.

"Really? It seems I'm lucky!"

Kogoro Mori responded and glanced at Matsumoto Akira.

This brat seems to have a good eyesight!

Moreover, she was not surprised when Kikuemon said before that every piece of peripheral display was a high-end product worth over one million yen.

Could it be that Administrator Matsumoto Kiyonaga was corrupt? Otherwise, where would he get so much money to broaden his horizons?

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who was sitting at home, started sneezing for no apparent reason, completely unaware that his former subordinate was actually slandering him.
