Chapter 63

One evening, Conan returned from Dr. Ali's house and handed a letter sent by others to Kudo Shinichi to Bai Yan Zhenyu to watch.

[it's very presumptuous to write to you suddenly, because after learning about your deeds as a high school student detective on TV and in the newspaper, I hope to meet you and ask some questions by the way. Incidentally, I will hold a garden tea party in my humble house at 3:30 p.m. next Tuesday. If I'm free, I'd like to come and give advice.]

In the envelope, in addition to this letter, there is also an invitation to the tea party signed by morigu Di'er.

After reading the letters and invitations, Bai yanzhenyu returned them to Conan, frowned and thought hard, "morigu Di'er? The name feels a little familiar..."

Conan has learned the information of morigu Di'er from Dr. Ali and explained: "morigu Di'er is the famous architect who is currently a professor in the Department of architecture of Dongdu University."

"Oh, it's him."

After Conan's reminder, Bai yanzhenyu thought of the architect who often appeared on TV, so he didn't continue to think about more things. He asked casually, "are you going to attend?"

"Well, I'm curious why he invited me."

Conan nodded and replied, "although we can't go there as Kudo Shinichi, the invitation says that we can invite others together and let Xiaolan take us there."

"That's a good way," Bai yanzhenyu said jokingly. "But you have to convince Xiaolan. Recently, I often hear her complaining about you."

"Aha... That..."

Conan didn't know how to answer, so he had to laugh to ease his embarrassment. Then he went out under the cover of Bai Yan Zhenyu and used a public phone to call Maori office.

"Eh? Are you Xinyi?! why haven't you called me recently? Are you still used to living outside? Is the case going well? When will you come back to school..."

Xiaolan, who picked up the microphone, was immediately excited and asked a series of questions when she found that it was Kudo Xinyi.

After answering Xiaolan's questions one by one, Conan went straight to the theme and said, "Xiaolan, the case in my hand has entered a critical period and I can't go away for the time being, so I hope you can attend a garden tea party for me. If the invitation letter is sent to brother Zhenyu."

Xiao Lan blinked and confirmed to Conan, "do you mean let me go to the garden tea party for you?"

Conan thought Xiao Lan didn't want to participate, so he quickly advised him, "yes, the invitation letter says that you can invite friends to go with you. You can go with Uncle Maori and take it as a leisure activity."

"What, I finally called back for such a thing..."

Xiao Lan pretended to be very angry and scared Conan at the other end of the phone into a cold sweat. Before Conan was ready to beg for mercy, she suddenly smiled again and said playfully, "I can promise you, but you should promise to go to the midnight movie with me next Saturday."

"This... Xiao Lan, I don't have time this weekend..."

Conan was stunned and wanted to find an excuse to refuse Xiaolan's conditions. After all, white dry wine can make him recover temporarily, but the duration can never support watching a movie.

"No, it's just a movie. It won't take long. It's settled. We'll meet in the lobby of Mihua cinema at 10 p.m. next Saturday."

Xiaolan didn't give Conan the chance to refuse. She made a strong decision. Then she seemed to think of something. Her face was slightly red and asked, "by the way, Xinyi, ask you a question. If you choose between red and blue, which color do you prefer?"

"Red and blue... I choose red!"

Because Xiao Lan likes red, Conan, who loves Wu and Wu, naturally answers red.

Hearing that Kudo Shinichi liked red as much as herself, Xiaolan became more happy and said with a smile, "sure enough, I knew you would choose red."

"Xiao Lan, stop talking to that detective kid. I'm starving. Go and cook dinner..."

Urged by Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan hung up the phone reluctantly, humming the latest pop songs and preparing dinner in the kitchen.

At dinner, Xiao Lan told everyone about Conan's request and asked them if they would like to go to the garden tea party together.

After listening to Xiao Lan's narration, Mao xiaowulang felt like he had just got several lemons. He complained angrily: "cut, what, he didn't know to invite my detective Mao xiaowulang, but invited the detective kid Kudo Shinichi..."

Conan reluctantly turned a dead fish's eye and boasted against his conscience: "isn't morigu di er the famous designer? If Uncle Maori goes, it will be the historic first meeting between a detective and a designer..."

"Well... That makes sense."

After listening to Conan's praise, Maori xiaowulang raised his eyebrows and laughed triumphantly: "if there were no famous detective like me, the garden tea party would be much worse. In that case, I'll go with you, ha ha..."

"By the way, Dad, tomorrow I'll go with Yuanzi to buy a birthday present for Xinyi. You can prepare your own lunch."

Xiao Lan gave Conan a piece of braised meat and said happily, "next Sunday is Xinyi's birthday, so I asked him to watch the afternoon and night movie on Saturday night. After 12:00, I gave him a birthday gift and gave him a surprise."

Baiyan Zhenyu suddenly realized that Xiao Lan suddenly asked Conan to see a movie. He asked curiously, "what movie are you going to see?"

"It's the latest release of the legend of the red line."

Xiao Lan blushed and explained shyly, "when a man and a woman destined to be together were born, there was a legend that a red line was tied between their little fingers. The legend of the red line is a romantic love film with this legend as the theme."

"Wait a minute, you just said you were going to the midnight show with that detective kid?!"

Maori Kogoro, who had a long reflection arc, didn't realize the key until then. He objected excitedly: "no, young boys and girls spend the night together in the dark cinema. What's that like?!"

"It's not like that, Dad. What are you thinking?"

Xiaolan finally found the opportunity to meet Kudo Shinichi. She wouldn't listen to Maori Kogoro and said confidently: "because Shinichi will forget his birthday every year, I have to remind him once a year, otherwise he won't grow up for a year in vain."

Sensing Xiaolan's help-seeking eyes, Bai yanzhenyu had to help and persuade: "uncle, it's rare for Xiaolan to be happy. Let her go. There will be no problem."

Xiaolan hit the table with a punch and asked, "yes, Dad, it's just a movie. You'll let me go, won't you?"

"Cough, pay attention to safety and eat."

Looking at Xiao Lan whose face showed that "if you don't agree again, you'll kill your relatives for righteousness", Maori Xiao Wulang coughed. His reason turned into an enlightened father and "willingly" agreed to the matter.
