Chapter 1139: The Encounter in Doyle House
July 9, Tuesday, evening, Maori's house.
Yuan Tai called. He had just received a letter from the organizer of the Junior Tennis Tournament, informing Conan to come to Dr. Ali's house after dinner. ...
After dinner, Dr. Ali’s house.
When Conan arrived, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko had already arrived. Genta was showing everyone the letter while telling everyone, but neither Ayumi nor Mitsuhiko understood.
Haibara saw Conan coming, so he said: "Okay, everyone is here, doctor, come and read."
"Okay, let me take a look." Dr. A Li said, and then picked up the letter and read it.
The gist of the letter is that on Saturday, August 3rd and Sunday, August 4th, Congressman Kenzo Narimosu from Kumamoto Prefecture will hold the Fire Nation Charity Tennis Grand Prix at the Kumamoto Stadium.
The competition is divided into four parts: professional division, amateur division, juvenile division under the age of 16, and children division under the age of 13. The competition in the children division is divided into single group and double group. Except for the three championship competitions, the rest of the competition is one field elimination system.
The first prize of the children's single group is 400,000 yen, the runner-up prize is 200,000 yen, the championship prize of the children's double group is 200,000 yen each, and the runner-up prize is 100,000 yen each.
Each team participating in the children's competition has a maximum of five people. All members of a team can participate in the singles competition, but a team only has two places to participate in the doubles competition. However, the doubles competition does not have fixed participants and has not been eliminated The best players can adjust with the field, and the eliminated players can no longer play.
We are now specially inviting the Tennis Team of the Boys Detective Team composed of Kojima Genta, Yoshida Ayumi, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, Edogawa Conan, and Haibara Ai to participate in the competition of the children's department, and we will also give you five tickets of Speed Airlines , On the evening of August 2, the flight from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Kumamoto Airport.
Conan was a little speechless, how did we become the Tennis Team of Boys Detectives?
Dr. Ali said, "That's all."
Mitsuhiko said: "I think such a rule is very good, everyone can play."
Ayumi asked: "But we are all children, how do we go?"
Dr. A Li smiled and said, "No problem, I can accompany you."
"But it's just a one-way ticket," Conan said.
Yuan Tai smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as we win the championship, we will have money to buy air tickets and come back, and we can also buy a lot of eel rice."
"You're really optimistic." Huiyuan said angrily, "If you can't win the championship, then you can use your pocket money to buy a plane ticket, and your board and lodging will also be yours."
"Uh..." Yuantai counted with her fingers. Even if all the 10,000 yen subsidy issued by the Invincible Girl Club is not handed over to her mother, it will take at least a few years. With pocket money to buy snacks, I was speechless for a while.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay the money." Dr. A Li said with a smile.
"Really?" Yuan Tai asked happily.
"Great." Ayumi cheered.
"Thank you doctor." Mitsuhiko said with a smile.
Haibara asked: "Don't be too happy, can you play tennis?"
Mitsuhiko said: "I can let my sister teach us."
Haibara asked: "So, what about the clothing, equipment, and tennis court?"
"These are all easy to solve.
"Conan said, "We can go to Didan High School to borrow court equipment, and we can also find a physical education teacher to teach us. As for the clothes, let's do whatever we want. "
Dr. A Li said: "Hey, you can try this."
"Okay, then it's settled." Yuan Tai said, "We will go to Didan High School for tennis training starting tomorrow."
Ayumi looked at the time, "Oh, it's getting late, I have to go."
"That's right," Mitsuhiko looked at the time, "I'm going back too."
"Then let's go together." Yuan Tai said.
"I'll go with you." Conan said, and then said to Dr. Ali, "I'll see them off."
"Okay, then they will leave it to you." Dr. Ali smiled.
When the four of Conan left, Dr. Ali noticed that Huiyuan was looking at him, so he said with a dry smile: "Well, I've been working in the laboratory during this time, so..."
"I know." Huiyuan said, "I was just wondering if I could make you work harder."
Dr. A Li quickly said: "No, no, Xiao Ai, I just did it because of my interest, it's my interest."
Haibara rolled his eyes and went to the basement.
Dr. A Li shouted: "Xiao Ai, listen to my explanation, sometimes you are interested, sometimes not, Xiao Ai, please listen to my explanation, Xiao Ai."
Huiyuan opened the door to the basement, turned around and said, "Don't be so loud, I heard you." Then he opened the door and entered.
"Uh, Xiao Ai, did you agree, or did you not?" Dr. A Li scratched his head, "Forget it, let's talk."...
July 10, Wednesday, afternoon, Didan High School, recess.
Lan and Yuanzi went downstairs to pick up the Boy Detective Team tennis team, and took them to the infirmary to find Teacher Xinde Zhiming, asking him to help borrow court equipment and find someone to give some guidance to the Boy Detective Team. ...
After school in the afternoon, Lan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko go to the Detective Boys to go home together. ...
July 12th, Friday, afternoon, Mihua Square shopping street.
Lan brought Conan to buy dinner materials. By the way, he drew the prize of last month. As a result, he won the dining coupon of Nedoer Building in Yokohama Chinatown. ...
In the evening, Maori's house.
Lan and Conan showed Mao Li the meal coupons, saying that they were going to eat Chinese food. Mao Li drooled a little at the thought of Chinese food, so he decided to go there for lunch tomorrow. ...
July 13, Saturday, before noon, rain, Yokohama City, in the car rented by Maori.
Conan and Lan were sitting in the back seat, Lan was studying with a book in his arms, his chanting was a bit harsh in the car whose windows could not be opened due to rain.
Mao Li couldn't help but complained: "Hey, Lan, you should stop in moderation, I'm getting dizzy from arguing."
Lan pouted and said, "What can I do? The final exam is next week. Last month's trip to the World Cup was delayed a lot. I want to make up for it."
Mao Li said angrily: "If you study, you should stay at home."
"What, I was the one who won the Chinatown meal coupon, how can you let me stay at home?" Lan asked, "Dad, do you want to eat alone?"
Maori said helplessly, "Then go back and watch."
"No, this is today's plan." Lan said, "There is still a TV show I want to watch tonight."
Maori said with a headache, "It's really troublesome."
"Sister Lan," Conan said, "reading in the car will make you dizzy."
"It's okay," Lan said with a smile, "My sense of balance is very strong."
While speaking, Lan saw the Yokohama Bay Bridge outside. The bridge was hazy in the rain, which gave Lan a feeling of deja vu.
The figure of the man in the knitted hat that I saw last time appeared in Lan's mind. The background was a street, but I couldn't remember where I saw it for a while, but there was not only the man in the knitted hat, but also him, Kudo Shinichi , he stood in the rain with a tense and gentle expression, why is that?
Conan saw Lan looking out the window and frowning, so he called out curiously, "Sister Lan, Sister Lan."
"What?" Lan came back to his senses.
Conan said: "Sister Lan, what's the matter with you, the way you frown looks so strange."
"Oh," Lan said with a smile, "it's okay, I just didn't remember some things." Then he continued to review.
"That's right." Conan smiled, thinking that it was something in a book.
After an unknown period of time, as the car slowed down, Lan suddenly felt a blur in front of her eyes, and she became dizzy for a while.
Mao Li said: "Okay, Lan, don't look at it, we are here."
Lan complained: "Really, Dad, why don't you just say it first."
Conan asked, "Sister Lan, are you dizzy?"
"Dizzy?" Maori said, "Just tell you not to read in the car."
"What's the matter?" Lan said angrily.
While talking, Maori parked the car in the parking lot, and Lan opened the door to get out of the car, but was irritated by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, as well as the rain, and sneezed.
Maori asked, "You don't catch a cold, do you?"
"No more." Lan held up the umbrella, "Don't dawdle, let's go quickly." She said and left first.
Maori said angrily, "Idiot, go this way."
Lan blushed, pouted and said, "I've never been here."
"..." Conan looked at the Chinatown archway in front of him, and was speechless. ...
Doyle House.
I don't know if it's because of the rainy weather. Although there are people coming and going outside, there are only two tables of guests inside. One table has four people talking about filming or something, and the other table is alone, wiping their mouths and paying the bill.
Lan handed over the meal voucher to the bespectacled front desk clerk, but the clerk glanced at it and said it couldn't be used.
"What, what do you mean by this? What do you mean it can't be used!" Maori jumped a little bit, I rented a car here.
"But look," Lan said, "the restaurant's name is written on the meal coupon."
"Well, this is indeed a meal roll from our shop," said the waiter, "but..."
"Then why did you say it can't be used?" Lan said angrily, "Please explain to me clearly."
"You, please wait a moment." The waiter left in a hurry.
Conan smiled bitterly in his heart, forget it if it can’t be used, is it necessary? Then the lone guest stopped to look at Lan.
"What are you looking at?" Conan muttered angrily.
"Hey, brat," Du Ke knelt down and asked Conan, "what's your sister's name?"
Conan looked at the man in front of him. He looked 21 or 20 years old, with dyed hair, earrings, sunglasses, a black windbreaker, a fancy shirt and a strange ring. He should be a different kind of man. So he asked angrily, "Big brother, who are you?"
"Who?" The alternative man asked helplessly, "Don't you know me?"
"Should I know you?" Conan asked rhetorically.
"Okay," said the alternative man, "you listen up, kid, my name is..."
At this time, the sound of Mao Li slapping the table interrupted the other man's words, "I said, what the hell are you doing in this store? Are you selecting customers?"
"Sorry for keeping you waiting." A tall waiter followed the waiter at the front desk.
Mao Li said angrily: "Oh, so I went to rescue soldiers."
The waiter at the front desk quickly said: "No, no, how is it possible, it's not like this."
"Xiaoshan, he just doesn't want to cause trouble." The waiter Gao Da said, "He is Chinese, and he will have visa issues."
Mao Li said: "Then you explain, this meal coupon is like this."
Glancing at the guests at the table, the tall waiter said, "Please invite the guests to talk with me outside."...
