Chapter 3616: Maori Kogoro's Lucky Day
Chapter 3621 Maori Kogoro's Lucky Day
At noon that day, the actor manager of Naritaya invited everyone to a restaurant outside for lunch.
The incident was not something worth celebrating, especially since two people were killed in this incident, but because of this, in the eyes of Naritaya's managers, Maori Kogoro, who ended the incident with his own strength and allowed Naritaya to get rid of the influence of public opinion as soon as possible, became amiable and respectable.
And an excellent detective is like a good doctor. No one wants to need the help of the other person one day, but they also understand that life is always accompanied by accidents. In order to avoid being helpless when they encounter trouble in the future, everyone is also happy to make friends with each other.
So during lunch, the actor manager of Naritaya repeatedly thanked Maori Kogoro for helping with the investigation and gave Maori Kogoro enough face.
After lunch, the five children of the Junior Detective Team went to play football together, and the others also separated at the door of the restaurant to do their own things.
Chi Feichi returned to the Seven Detectives Agency, went to the second floor and poured himself a glass of blood, ice and whiskey, sat on the second floor balcony, and flipped through the experimental report of "Human Brain Programming" on his laptop. At the same time, he also used emails to contact several peripheral members to understand the progress of their work.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Feichi closed the experimental report and confirmed that the experimental report file was automatically destroyed. Then he got up and returned to the room with his laptop. Just as he was about to make dinner by himself, he received a call from Maori Kogoro. He changed his clothes and went out to the Iroha Sushi Restaurant next to the Maori Detective Agency to meet up with the Maori trio.
Maori Kogoro took Maori Ran and Conan to the restaurant in advance. When he saw Chi Feichi coming in, he immediately greeted Chi Feichi happily to sit down, and turned around to ask the waiter to serve high-end dishes.
Chi Feichi sat down at the table, "Teacher, did you win money from horse racing? Or did you win a lot of gifts from playing small steel balls?"
Maori Ran smiled helplessly, "Brother Feichi, you really know my father."
Conan laughed at the side.
After all, uncle is only so generous when he gets rich...
Mouri Kogoro turned around and said to Chi Feichi with a beaming face, "I went to a newly opened small steel ball store this afternoon. I was so lucky. I got a lot of daily necessities and canned food in just three hours! If you are interested, I will take you to that store to try it out another day. The two of us will go to win a year's worth of daily necessities..."
"Dad!" Seeing that Maori Kogoro was getting more and more outrageous, Maori Ran interrupted him and complained with a black line, "How can you be a teacher like this? Playing small steel balls is not a good habit. Don't take your apprentice to do everything!"
Conan: "..."
▽
Xiao Ran was right to complain.
Fortunately, Brother Chi is more opinionated and determined. If Uncle had found an apprentice who lacks opinion, he would have been led to the five vices of "eating, drinking, playing, gambling"...
Mouri Kogoro quietly defended himself, "I just think that small steel ball shop has some money, so I want to take Fei Chi to try it out..."
"No, you are not allowed to go to that shop recently! You are always like this. If you make a little money in a shop, you will lose more money the next day," Mao Lilan complained. Seeing Mao Li Kogoro's guilty silence, her anger subsided a little, and her tone softened, "Besides, didn't you get the job? You should work hard these two days!"
Conan smiled and said to Chi Feichi, "Uncle won a lot of things this afternoon. He received a commission as soon as he got home. The client asked him to meet tonight and sent him a ticket to the puppet show, inviting him to watch the puppet show. His luck today is really great!" "Huh!" Maori Kogoro said proudly, "Of course!" Maori Ran thought that Maori Kogoro had indeed earned enough face and money today, and was willing to let Maori Kogoro be proud for a while. She turned to Chi Feichi and smiled, "Brother Feichi, you introduced a job to my father and commissioned my father to work, which made him earn a lot of commission fees. We haven't had time to thank you. It just so happens that today my father won a lot of money from the small steel ball. He has done a lot of things and received a commission, so he called you to come over. Let's have a big meal tonight to celebrate!" "And I heard from Xiaolan that you seem to be a little depressed these two days," Maori Kogoro restrained the smugness on his face. Although he was still smiling, he looked more serious. "This time, the client gave me several tickets and asked me to take my family to watch the show. I plan to take Xiaolan and the glasses kid. If you have nothing to do tonight, come with us to watch the puppet show! I watched the Kabuki performance this morning and the Ningyo Joruri performance in the evening. This day is very exciting, isn't it?" Non-red period "Master, let's go and have a look..."
Chi Feichi thought that he had nothing to do tonight, and seeing that Feichi was interested, he agreed, "I have nothing to do tonight. If it won't cause you any trouble, I'm willing to go with you."
"Then let's go after dinner!" Maori Kogoro shared with Chi Feichi enthusiastically, "It's called a puppet show, but it's actually a performance of ventriloquism and glove puppets. The person who commissioned me this time is the leading actor of tonight's performance. Xiaolan said that he is a famous ventriloquist and is very good at performing horror-type plays. I think you should be interested..."
Chi Feichi recalled an event in the original plot.
If nothing unexpected happens, there may be an accident tonight.
However, the accident should happen after the show is over, and it will not affect the show. Since he is free tonight, it would be a good idea to take Feichi to watch the show...
"If I were to go to a horror show alone, I would definitely not dare to go," Mao Lilan said with some anticipation, "but if my father, Conan and Brother Feichi go to watch it together, I won't be so scared!"
Conan laughed and teased, "Sister Xiaolan, please don't scream out in fright!"
"I don't know how," Mao Lilan paused and then added a little embarrassedly, "However, if the performance has very scary parts, there should be other audiences in the theater screaming..."
Then it wouldn't be strange if she was so frightened that she screamed out, right?
…
In a relaxed atmosphere, the four of them had dinner at Iroha Sushi Restaurant, and then went directly to the theater where the client performed.
The client who wanted to entrust Moori Kogoro to help was named Riichi Tengan, a ventriloquist who has become very popular recently. As soon as the four of them arrived at the theater, they saw many promotional posters for Riichi Tengan's performances posted at the entrance of the theater. Stand up for publicity.
Even the layout at the entrance of the theater caters to Riichi Tengan's dark performance style. It is dark and dark. Because there are many people queuing up at the entrance, this scene will not make people feel scary, but will create a mysterious atmosphere. The attractive atmosphere makes people look forward to the performance even more.
Mouri Kogoro took out the tickets presented by the client, led Mao Lilan, Chi Feichi, and Conan into the VIP channel, and was placed in the front row facing the center of the stage. Moori Kogoro couldn't help but feel proud again. Just call today your lucky day.
The audience entered the venue one after another and took their seats around the round tables.
The waiters served free drinks to each guest and placed freshly lit candle cups on each table.
Before the performance started, all the lights in the venue were turned off, and the candles on the round tables lit up with weak candlelight, allowing only the blurry figures around them to be seen clearly.
Seeing Mao Lilan looking around curiously, Conan smiled and whispered, "Sister Xiaolan doesn't seem to be afraid at all..."
"Of course I won't feel scared when there are so many people," Mao Lilan deliberately pretended to be unhappy, "Am I the kind of coward who is afraid of the dark in your heart?"
Mouri Kogoro whispered, "If I let you sit here alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for a second..."
Mao Lilan: "..."
What nonsense are you talking about?
Affected by the pleasant atmosphere tonight, Chi Feichi was also interested in talking to others and joined the chat in a low voice, "Let a person go to hell alone, that person will tremble, but if you let someone who is enough to fill hell go there Hell, it’s the devil who deserves to tremble.”
Mouri Kogoro was amused, "That would turn into an army of humans fighting against demons!"
"Welcome everyone to tonight's performance..."
A strange voice came from the stage in front, interrupting the four people's chat.
A spotlight lit up on the stage, and within the scope of the light, a nearly one-meter-long puppet sat alone on a chair.
The doll is wearing an orange suit, and its face is a square adult male face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The facial features are very realistic, but the skin color is paler than that of Asians. There are two obvious blushes on the cheeks and around the mouth. There are two ravines where the wood is spliced together, allowing people to tell that this is not a living person.
This is a puppet with an uncanny valley effect in its light appearance. When the light shines down from the top of the puppet's head, the puppet's face is a mixture of light and dark, its eyes seem to be staring directly at the audience, and the smile on its face looks gloomy and terrifying. Many people, including Mao Lilan, were frightened and screamed.
Chi Feichi looked at the dolls on the stage with a little more anticipation in his heart.
The show started off well, and I hope it doesn't disappoint him later...
