Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty First Birthday Party Back Arrow
Saturday, March 21, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.
Lan cleaned up the table, went upstairs to prepare clothes for Mori and Conan, and then went to Miyamoto's house with Sonoko to ask Mei Daiko to borrow the bathroom, and told Mei Daizi that they were going to attend Uchida Asami's birthday party.
Yuanzi's people drove a large van and delivered clothes with two long display racks. Yuanzi went up in Mei Daizi's bathrobe and changed into an inconspicuous dress.
Maori originally wanted to rent a car, but the address Asami Uchida left was for the bus route, and Maori didn't know the destination, so the four of them went to Mihua Station to get on the bus and set off.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, the road outside a mountain in the suburbs of Hachioji City.
After the four Maori got off the bus, Lan took out a simple map to identify them.
After waiting for a while, Maori couldn't wait to ask: "Where are you going?"
"Really, Dad, don't rush me." Lan said.
Let Lan lead the way? Conan raised his triangular eyes, hoping to get there before dark.
"It's painted on it," Lan said. "After getting out of the car, go to the opposite side of the road and turn right. There is a gravel road going up the mountain."
"That's the road across the road into the mountain," Mao Li said, and then happily said to himself, "It's great, I can see Miss Dongdu soon."
Yuanzi raised his fist excitedly and shouted: "Let's go, let's go, the target is a boy from Dongdu University."
About twenty minutes later, the four of Maori walked to a villa. After knocking on the door, fortunately, it was here.
In addition to Asami Uchida, there were five other people in the villa, and it was learned through introduction that they were all members of the Reasoning Research Association of the Faculty of Letters of Toto University. They are Mr. Gaku Sawai, the fourth-year student, who is the president of the Reasoning Research Association, Ms. Tomoko Hayasaka, the fourth-year student, Mr. Yoshinobu Morimoto, the third-year student, Ms. Miyazaki Chika and Mr. Shibahisa Noguchi, the second-year student.
Several gentlemen were chatting together, and several ladies were preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Lan asked Asami Uchida if she could call Mei Daizi over.
"Of course." Asami Uchida smiled, "Oh, yes, I remembered, you and the president are in the same class, so you are friends."
"President?" Sonoko asked in surprise, "Could it be that senior, you used to belong to the Invincible Girl Club?"
"Yeah, the vice president came to me personally, and he convinced me right away." Asami Uchida smiled, "And it's the same now, and I went to the conference a few years ago."
Tomoko Hayasaka asked, "Mami, why didn't I hear that you joined any other clubs?"
Asami Uchida said: "Oh, it's the Toto University Mihua Fellowship Association I organized. The real club has not yet been established. Now there are only a few people from Mihua Town who came in the same class as me." Then he asked with a smile, "Tomoko learns Sister, do you want to join the club, the threshold is low now?"
"Since you personally invited me, let me think about it," Tomoko Hayasaka said with a smile, "At least I have to wait until I have seen the president."
"Ha, my president doesn't care about things." Asami Uchida smiled, "She never takes club affairs to heart, even I belong to her club, I guess she doesn't know."
"That's right, that's right, Mei Daizi really doesn't know." Yuanzi smiled, "In the afternoon, she didn't mention it at all, she just said that she was familiar with senior sister."
"Then what's so good about this kind of society?
Mami, you might as well quit. "Miyazaki Chinatsu said, "Based on your conditions, there are many places to go. "
Uchida Asami smiled and did not talk about this topic again, and then asked Sonoko: "By the way, I heard that the president will help at home at night, can she come out?"
"It's fine if she's with her brother," Lan said.
Sonoko said, "It's Yamazaki from our class. He said he met you a few times because of club issues."
"In your class," Uchida Asami thought for a moment, then smiled, "Oh, it's him. Although I don't remember his appearance, I still remember what he said."
"What is it?" Sonoko asked curiously.
"Not good." Asami Uchida smiled.
"What?" Sonoko asked.
"It means 'not good'." Asami Uchida smiled, "I approached Yamazaki-san several times to do his job, but he said a lot of things, and every time he answered me coldly, then But I rarely hit a wall."
Tomoko Hayasaka said with a smile: "No way, there are still such people, so I have to take a good look at it later."
"Speaking of which, Yamazaki was like this before." Sonoko said with a smile, "But it's much better now."
The five of them chatted about college life and women. During the conversation, dinner was prepared. Yuanzi also took the time to call Mei Daizi, but Mei Daizi heard that they would go to the karaoke hall and said that they would have supper Go on.
After six o'clock in the evening, the dinner dishes came to the table one after another. After a while, in addition to Uchida Asami, Ran and Sonoko, Mori, Conan, Sawai Gaku, Hayasaka Tomoko, Morimoto Yoshinobu, Miyazaki Chinatsu, and Noguchi Shibahisa were all seated .
Tomoko Hayasaka asked Sawai Gaku, "Hey, how was your chat with our famous detective?"
"It has benefited a lot," Sawai Gaku said with a smile, "The famous detective is really extraordinary. He really knows how to use words to achieve the effect of controlling people's hearts."
Hayasaka Tomoko asked with a smile: "Are you sure you're not talking about yourself, playboy Sawai-san?
Noguchi Shibahisa smiled and said, "We've all heard, Minister, that you recently made a first-year school girl cry."
"Ah? No way?" Miyazaki Chika asked, "Is this true?"
"Hey, hello," Sawai Gaku said with a bit of embarrassment, and quickly smiled, "We're going to celebrate Mami's birthday today, what do you mean by taking me under the knife?"
Tomoko Hayasaka said: "That is to say, and the novel she wrote a few days ago won the school newcomer award, so we can celebrate together."
"It's a pity to say it, Morimoto," Sawai Gaku said with a smile, "In fact, your novels have been competing until the finals."
Yoshinobu Morimoto said: "Is there any way, Mami is the most anticipated newcomer in our Literature Club, and it is not wrong to lose to her this time."
"Speaking of losing, I also lost to her in the tennis meeting of the Faculty of Letters," Noguchi Shibahisa said with a smile, "Really, I actually lost to a woman, but fortunately, I was not the only one who lost."
Miyazaki Qianxia sighed: "And she was elected Miss Toto in the first grade, and I lost the election in the preliminaries."
Tomoko Hayasaka said: "I also admire her very much. Although she can do everything, she has no arrogance at all."
Yoshinobu Morimoto said: "And her reasoning ability is also very good."
"There is nothing to say about cooking." Sawai Gaku smiled, then looked at the dishes on the table, and asked, "Speaking of which, why didn't you see her specialty lemon pie?"
Sonoko came in with vegetables, "For pies, Mami-senpai and Ran are baking."
Yoshinobu Morimoto said, "Huh? Asami clearly promised to bring it."
"I kept you waiting." Asami Uchida came in pushing Lan's shoulder, and Lan held a piece of lemon pie in her hand.
After the lemon pie was served, Shibahisa Noguchi looked at it and couldn't help but ask, "It's black and black, is this really Mami, you made it?"
"No, I made this." Lan said with some embarrassment, "This is my first time making lemon pie."
"Then Mami, what did you do?" Sawai Gaku asked.
"Actually, I forgot to bring it, so I asked Xiaolan to help me make a new one," Uchida Asami said with a smile, "It's really troublesome for her."
Maori said angrily: "Really, it's better to do it if you haven't done it before."
"But..." Lan said a little aggrieved.
Asami Uchida smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's have a taste first, let's talk about it later if you have any complaints."
The lemon pie has been divided into ten pieces, exactly one for each person, and the eight Maori took one portion. After taking a bite, they all felt good.
"You see, what matters in cooking is the content, so the appearance is not important." Asami Naito picked up the last two lemon pies and gave one to Lan. "You won't know the taste if you don't eat it."
Soon after, there was a toast to "Happy Birthday to Ms. Asami Naito", and dinner began. ...
At nearly twelve o'clock in the evening, Lan saw that Tomoko Hayasaka had brought out the birthday cake, so she went over to help put the candles on.
"I'm going to borrow matches from my father," Lan said.
"No, I borrowed Sawai's lighter." Tomoko Hayasaka lit the candles on the birthday cake with the lighter.
Lan smiled excitedly: "Every time I light candles on the birthday cake, no matter how old I am, I'm so excited."
"Really?" Tomoko Hayasaka smiled helplessly, "You can only say things like this until you're twenty years old."
Lan asked suspiciously, "Is that so?"
"That's right." Tomoko Hayasaka sighed, "Once you're over twenty, as long as you add a candle, you'll hate it to death."
At this time, the fax machine rang, and a fax with congratulations was sent.
Miyazaki Chika smiled and said, "As expected, the fax from Professor Takamura just arrived at twelve o'clock." She wanted to show it to Asami Uchida.
"Hush!" Sonoko indicated that Asami Uchida had fallen asleep.
"What's going on?" Miyazaki Chika asked softly.
Yuanzi said: "I don't know, we had a good chat, and my sister fell asleep."
"Maybe I'm tired." Sawai Gaku said, "It's her birthday, but I've been busy all the time."
Tomoko Hayasaka asked, "Then what about this cake?"
"Shouldn't we all go to the karaoke hall in front of the station to sing later?" Sawai Xue said with a smile, "Let's use the cake as breakfast tomorrow morning, and send late blessings to Mami."
Yoshinobu Morimoto said: "Well, that's the only way."
"I'll stay here." Lan said, "If senior sister wakes up, someone can talk to her."
"Then I'll stay too," Conan said.
"I'm not going either." Yuanzi said, "I see a car and a motorcycle outside, the six of you are just right."
"That's fine." Tomoko Hayasaka said, "Then I'll leave it to Ran and Sonoko."
Afterwards, everyone cleaned up the villa, and Sakai Gaku, Tomoko Hayasaka, Yoshinobu Morimoto, Chinatsu Miyazaki, Shibahisa Noguchi, and Mori left together. ...
