The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 645: Shitara Family Birthday Banquet

Another week has passed at Bai Ma Song's home.

Yes, it has been nearly two weeks since the last case. During this period, Bai Masong has not encountered any complicated cases.

Although some minor cases still occur, there are no more serious homicides.

In addition, there were constant reports of Kogoro Mori solving cases in other places. Most recently, last weekend, he had uncovered a major vicious incident targeting Koshien there, which further elevated his reputation.

This made Hakuba Matsu wonder if Kogoro Mori and his family had moved to Osaka.

Thinking about this possibility, Baimasong felt relaxed all over.

The combination of Osaka Black God of Death and Tokyo Death Elementary School Student would surely make Hattori Heizo very happy.

But unfortunately this is impossible. Hakubamatsu had just had a phone call with Maori Kogoro not long ago, and the other party clearly rejected Hakubamatsu's proposal to move the whole family to Osaka. It is really a pity.

"By the way, Osong, it seems like we haven't seen Mr. Maori and his family for a long time."

Sato Miwako suddenly spoke to Hakuba Matsu.

Bai Masong held the newspaper and nodded at her.

You see, he is not the only one who feels this way. Such peaceful days are really too rare.

"So, should we invite them out to watch a show?"

Sato Miwako smiled at Hakuba Matsu.

"Performance?"

Bai Masong raised his head and looked at her. What performance was this? He had never heard of it.

Sato Miwako smiled and explained to Bai Masong,

“It’s just a magic show.”

"Today, Mr. Harui Fuchu called me and told me that his nephew will have a very good performance in Tokyo."

"He got us some close-up tickets and asked Miss Tanaka Takahiro to deliver them to us tomorrow."

"Is that so?"

Bai Masong nodded.

"Then I'll call Mr. Maori and ask him later, and by the way, ask A Tan if he wants a few for his classmates."

The old man, Harui Fuchuen, is very particular about what he does. Ever since he was rescued by Hakuba Matsu and Sato Miwako, he has been treating them to meals and giving them tickets to performances from time to time.

Moreover, whether it was dining or sending gifts, he would only give just enough. He never asked about valuable things or matters related to daily life.

For example, regarding the tickets this time, he wouldn't ask you whether you wanted them or not. He would just say, "I'll give you so many tickets, and you can decide how to distribute and use them." His attitude was very good.

"Ah."

After Miwako Sato finished her talk, she went to prepare dinner.

She went through a period of study and through constant practice, her cooking skills have improved greatly.

Not to say it’s outstanding, but at least it can make the precious ingredients taste as they should.

At this time, Huiyuan Ai remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, brother, grandma also told me yesterday."

As she spoke, she put down the fashion magazine in her hand, then took out an invitation from her bag and placed it on the coffee table.

Bai Masong took a look at the signature on the invitation and knew what was going on.

"My grandmother specifically told me to do that,"

Huiyuan Ai said casually to Baiba Song,

"She said that the Shitara family sends invitations every year. Now that you are back this year, it would be best for you to go over."

"Um,"

Bai Masong nodded, picked up the invitation, and looked at the time. It was the evening of the day after tomorrow.

It was the weekend and I had nothing to do, so I could go there.

"What's the matter?"

Sato Miwako heard the voices of Hakubamatsu and Huihara Ai, and poked her head out of the kitchen and asked.

Bai Ma Song put down the invitation, walked to Sato Miwako and said to her,

"It's nothing serious. It's just an invitation to someone's birthday party."

"Mr. Shitara Choichiro of the Shitara family was taken care of by my grandpa and grandma, so the Shitara family has been very close to our family over the years."

"At least every festival, as well as my grandma and dad's birthdays, Mr. Shitara would send his condolences."

"In the early years, I heard from my grandmother that he used to come to visit in person, but in recent years his legs and feet are not convenient, so he sent people to express his condolences, but also brought some gifts."

"Although his birthday is mainly a family dinner every year and not a big event, they will send a separate invitation to our family. However, I have been abroad for these years and Tan is still young, so we have always sent Butler Yutei to go."

"I came back this year, and grandma asked me to go over there."

"Is that so?"

Sato Miwako nodded in understanding.

"If that's the case, then we must go this year, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

Her mind was very simple and she didn't have too many thoughts. She just simply felt that they had known each other for decades and it would be embarrassing not to go when someone invited her.

Although Bai Masong thought about it more, this was indeed his main plan.

"In that case, the day after tomorrow you, Xiao Ai and I, the three of us will go together."

.....................................

two days later

In front of the main entrance to the Shitara family's annex

"Mr. Maori Kogoro,"

A middle-aged housekeeper in a neat uniform, wearing black-framed glasses, looking very serious and meticulous, looked at the notebook in her hand, pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose, frowned and said,

"It seems that our master didn't make an appointment with you to meet here today?"

Forehead......

After listening to what the housekeeper said, Xiaolan and Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri with confusion.

Conan couldn't help but complain in his heart, the uncle couldn't be so unreliable, didn't he say that the client had made an appointment with him, why didn't he acknowledge him here?

Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched, and he explained to the housekeeper,

"It's like this, I made an appointment with your master, and it was Miss Shitara Renki who invited me here today."

"Oh? Is it Miss Lian Xi?"

The housekeeper was slightly stunned. She continued to look through the notebook for a while, and said to Maori Kogoro with a bit of apology,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Maori, I don't have any record of Miss Renxi's appointment, but she is practicing the piano in the annex. I can take you there to talk to her."
