Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

The master of the house, Kikuemon, quietly returned to his room, shut the door tightly, and locked himself in. The daughter-in-law also hurried to the kitchen and started to work.

At this moment, the guests and three apprentices in the room looked at each other, holding their works, at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, several of my apprentices came over with the idea of ​​showing my work to everyone.

So, several people put all their works in front of everyone.

Kogoro Mori acted like an expert and observed seriously.

Conan was indifferent, his interest was not in these things. However, Ran Mouri observed these novel objects with great interest. Although she did not understand them, she was full of curiosity.

Matsumoto Akira supported his chin and listened carefully to several apprentices introducing their ideas and concepts when creating these works.

Tom and Jerry lazily huddled on his knees, showing no interest in the works.

Although I don't know how to describe their artistic accomplishments, they are definitely blessed with natural talent. If they are willing, even if they only have a slight exposure, the works they create will far exceed these.

Suzuki Sonoko listened attentively to each apprentice's creative concepts and ideas and gave her comments one by one.

Even Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko with surprise. He didn't expect that the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, who seemed careless, had such profound attainments in art.

Suzuki Sonoko glared at Conan, as if to say, "I am the second daughter of the Suzuki Group. Although I study at Teitan High School, Teitan High School is not ordinary. What kind of family do you belong to to be able to study at this school? Don't you know?"

Teitan University is a public university that, like Waseda University, has its own affiliated schools.

However, unlike Waseda University, although both are public schools and the entire system is public, Teitan Junior High School, Teitan Elementary School and possible kindergartens under Teitan University are actually completely modeled after private schools.

In addition, it has received care from many aspects of the government, and many police officers and professional groups come from this school.

The entire system is deeply rooted in the government and, like the University of Tokyo, has formed internal factions.

Conan seemed to understand the hidden meaning of Suzuki Sonoko's words, but he could only remain silent.

This is the system of Teitan University. Almost all students have come from elementary school and middle school and have known each other for several years or even more than ten years.

The huge network of relationships formed in this way, through the connection of each family, can easily help a middle-class or upper-middle-class child to quickly establish social connections after adulthood.

Even a giant like the Suzuki Group is not completely without the personal connections of the Teitan University system.

Otherwise, Suzuki Sonoko would not have been sent to Teitan School and continued her studies.

Ultimately, in addition to Suzuki Sonoko's own wishes, the Suzuki Group will also pave the way for her.

After all, there are only two daughters in this generation of the Suzuki Group. Not to mention whether they can get married, there is still the option of marrying a son-in-law.

But no matter what, the development route still needs to be planned. Even the Suzuki Group cannot rely solely on money to pave the way.

Teitan University and its entire system are unique in the anime, and even more so in reality.

Although the setting is a public school system, a large number of people who graduate from it enjoy the tilt of various resources.

Its educational resources are configured according to the standards of private schools. For example, the school doctor of Teitan High School appears to be a graduate of a prestigious school, but in fact he has comprehensive abilities.

If not for this, she would not have been targeted by the Black Organization, and Vermouth would not have pretended to be the school doctor for so long that even the FBI sent people to protect her.

This is the case with the school doctor alone, not to mention other teachers.

Even Judy, who has an FBI background, could only choose an English teacher when she pretended to be a school teacher. No, to be more precise, when she temporarily replaced a teacher at Teitan High School.

This is because she is most familiar with English, but it also proves from the side that if one does not have enough professional knowledge in other areas, it will be difficult to pass the test even if one has a certain identity background.

There is no way. Although Teitan High School nominally belongs to the public system, the various resources actually used and the overall model are completely private.

This is simply a bug school created by the author. When this setting is used in the real world, it becomes even more difficult to explain this school.

This shows the class stratification in Japan. However, even Haibara Ai, who expressed her feelings about this, inherited her parents' talents. This is undoubtedly a huge joke that makes people feel helpless.

Time passed quickly, and just when the daughter-in-law had almost prepared the dinner for tonight, Kikuemon, who had been hiding in his room and sighing secretly, finally came out.

I have to say, people who get older have more experience.

At least now that Kikuemon has come out again, he no longer has the sadness he had before, and he seems to have recovered quickly.

The daughter-in-law who broke the pottery work that Kikuemon had made was very careful and made the dinner very lively.

Even Kikuemon, who had recovered, suddenly became very happy and even started raising his glass to drink with Mori Kogoro.

Seeing this scene, the daughter-in-law was delighted. This at least proved that she didn't have to worry about her father-in-law's blame in the short term.

So, the daughter-in-law excitedly picked up the wine glass and started drinking with everyone, but she never expected that her alcohol tolerance was so poor.

After a few drinks, the daughter-in-law's originally cautious appearance disappeared without a trace.

She sat down next to a few people, patted their shoulders, and smelled strongly of alcohol.

She obviously didn't drink much, but she was already drunk and unconscious.

"Detective Maori is so lucky. My father-in-law's hands have been shaking so badly that he will never be able to produce such a work again!"

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing how to persuade the drunk young lady.

The disciples looked at each other, hesitant to speak, not knowing what to do at this moment. They wanted to stop the young lady from continuing, but -

Kikuemon waved his hand to stop them.

He raised his glass, clinked it with Maori Kogoro, drank it all in one gulp, and said:

"She's right. My hands have been shaking for a long time. Although I'm still strong now, I won't live for many more years. I'm afraid I won't be able to produce the same works as before!"

"But Detective Maori, you must keep the teacup you brought back as a treasure. When I can no longer make these pottery pieces, or when I die, its value will definitely increase!"
