There is a balcony on the twentieth floor of a high-rise twenty-four-story apartment building where Teacher Judy lives. Now, Teacher Judy is wearing a bathrobe and sitting on a deck chair on the balcony, watching the distance with a telescope.

Looking at the person who appeared in the field of vision, Judy made a phone call, "Xiuyi, that person is here."

"I know." Xiuyi said.

Zhu Di said: "Xiuyi, have you found out why that person came here?"

"I don't know yet." Xiuyi said, and then said, "Judy."

"What?" Judy asked.

"Don't cause trouble. With your current identity, it is very troublesome to leave a record with the police." Xiuyi said.

"It's beyond my control." Judy said, then smiled, "By the way, it must be because of Maori Detective, he passed his luck to his family, and then..." Then he found that the other party had hung up The phone rang, so I had to end the call. ...

January 12, Friday, evening, Mori's house, living room.

During dinner, Lan told Maori and Conan that tomorrow there will be an event with Yuanzi, Mei Daizi, and Yamazaki, and they will solve it by themselves for lunch.

"Sister Lan, where are you going?" Conan asked.

"Well, uh," Lan said, "let's go to pottery class with Yuanzi."

"That's right," Molly said.

Conan thought, it's strange, do you need to hesitate like this in pottery class? There must be something wrong here, it seems that we need to investigate. ...

The next day, Saturday 13th January, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

Sonoko, Mei Daiko, and Yamazaki came to join Lan, and took a taxi to go to the pottery class under Sonoko's leadership. Conan, who wanted to follow him, failed to follow him, so he had to follow Sonoko's name Mino House Pottery Workshop. Phone to find. ...

In the morning, Mino House pottery workshop in Imadocho, Taito District.

After Sonoko brought Lan, Meidaiko, and Yamazaki over, he introduced to them the teacher here, Mino Soyuki, who looks like an old man in his sixties, and his assistant, Kasama Kikuyo, who looks like a lady in her thirties. .

Kasama Kikuyo and Sonoko visited Mino House pottery studio with four people. By the way, they gave a brief introduction. This is a handmade Imado-yaki workshop with a total of three floors. There is a showroom and store on the first floor, and a warehouse. On the second floor there is a handicraft studio with more than a dozen people working in it, a pottery classroom, a restaurant, and the third floor is where people live. The kiln is not here due to environmental concerns.

Advertising on the Internet was the idea of ​​Mino Soufu, son-in-law of Mino Souyuki. He worked overtime at the company and came here in the afternoon.

This advertisement has attracted many students and couples. Before the New Year, Valentine’s Day, Qixi Festival, Christmas and other holidays, many people will come to make gifts, but today there are only four students.

After the visit, Kasama Kikuyo took Sonoko and the four to the pottery classroom, where Mino Sonoyuki began to teach them.

The Mino sect first introduced Imado-yaki. The production of Imado-yaki began in the Tensho period at the end of the 16th century. It was plain-fired ceramics. By the middle of the 19th century, during the Kayong period, Imado-yaki was famous all over the country for its Imado-yaki beckoning cat, and it was the birthplace of the recorded beckoning cat.

Next, Mino Zongyuki introduced the steps of handmade pottery step by step, and then focused on modeling, and demonstrated it on the pottery tray.

After teaching, the morning class ended, and a half-hour lunch break was entered. The four of Yuanzi went to the restaurant for lunch, and Mei Daizi also ate the beef in the food box. ...

In the afternoon, Mino House pottery studio, pottery classroom.

Under the guidance of Mino Muneyuki and Kasama Kikuyo, the four of Sonoko started making pottery using clay provided by the workshop.

Yuanzi and Lan chose to make drinking cups,

And Yamazaki and Mei Daizi chose to make a lucky cat money jar, but one left hand and the other right hand.

Taking the clay, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko made a pair of beckoning cat money jars with their hands according to the physical model, and handed them to Mino Zongyu for inspection.

After inspecting it, Mino Zongzhi praised in surprise: "The wall thickness of each work is very uniform, and the size of the two works is basically the same. This is a perfect pair of works. The two of you are so old. In the future, it will definitely win the title of Living National Treasure in multiple crafts.”

"You're too proud." Yamazaki said.

Yuanzi said unexpectedly: "I really didn't expect that, you still have this skill."

Lan smiled and said, "Yeah, it's a great job."

"It's a trivial matter. If I can't do this well, how can I fight with people." Mei Daizi laughed.

"What does this have to do with fighting?" Kasama Kikuyo asked suspiciously.

"Of course it has something to do. If you don't control your strength and direction when fighting, you will hurt people." Mei Daizi said.

Yamazaki changed the topic, "Teacher Mino, how long will it take for us to get this pair of beckoning cats?"

"Tomorrow will be fine." Mino Zongzhi said, "But I think this pair of beckoning cats is a bit of a waste. If you can, you can pay more, and I will ask someone to color your pair of beckoning cats."

"What do you think?" Yamazaki asked Mei Daizi.

"Well," Mei Daizi said after thinking for a while, "let's take it back to the eldest sister, ask her to find someone to process, and then coat the pair of lucky cats with a layer of gold leaf inside and out. By the way, we also need to hang Two golden bells, one engraved with the characters of jia and the other with the characters of dai."

"Of course." Yamazaki said, and then said to Mino Zongyuki, "Then, Mr. Mino, I don't need to trouble you."

Mino Souyuki said: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you like it." Then he took out two big boxes and asked Yamazaki and Mei Daizi to put the two beckoning cat money jars.

At this time, Kasama Kikuyo found a child at the door, and asked, "Little friend, how did you get in?"

"Conan!" Lan Yi shouted immediately when he saw the child.

It was Conan who came. After he called and asked for the address, he checked the map and finally decided on the route. First, he took the tram to Asakusa Station, then took the bus to Imado-cho, and then asked for directions.

After Conan arrived, he slipped into the workshop to find someone, saw the sign of the pottery classroom, and heard the voices of Yamazaki and Mei Daiko, he stretched his head to look around, but he was seen when he didn't want to.

Hearing Lan's shout, Mino Zongzhi smiled and said, "Do you know each other? Then, Kikuyo, let him in."

"Thank you," Lan said.

"Sister Lan." Conan who was brought in shouted shyly.

"You brat, why are you here?" Yuanzi asked with a smirk, "Are you a spy?"

"Spy?" Lan and Mei Daizi didn't understand.

Yuanzi smiled and said, "Just follow Lan, and then report Lan's whereabouts to someone."

"How is it possible, I wouldn't do such a thing." Conan retorted.

Lan said, "Someone is..."

Mei Daizi said: "It should be that guy Kudo, they are relatives."

"That's right, this brat must have taken advantage of Kudo," Sonoko said.

"What's the matter, it's really not." Conan argued.

"I believe Conan didn't take advantage of Kudo," Yamazaki said with a smile, "he's just sticking to Ran."

Conan immediately sent a pair of big white eyes, hateful.

"Kikuyo, take Ms. Sonoko and Ms. Lan to make pottery, and I'll go around the workshop." Mino Muneyuki said, "Since this kid is here, let him be one of them."

"Okay, Sensei," Kasama Kikuyo said, before asking Conan what he wanted to do.

Conan thought about it and made the same choice as Ran, making a water cup, so Kasama Kikuyo helped him prepare a piece of clay.

Under the guidance of Kikuyo Kasama and under the guidance of Mei Daiko, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan each made a water cup by themselves, but only Ran's passed the test. Sonoko's cup was too big, and Conan's cup had uneven walls.

Next, Yuanzi finally made the water cup under the guidance of Lan and Mei Daizi, and Conan also made the water cup with the help of Yamazaki.

Kasama Kikuyo brought three boxes, "Okay, the pottery for the three of you is ready, and then you can write a sentence or two of blessings on it with a brush, and then put it in the box and give it to me."

Yuanzi drew a heart shape on the water cup with a brush, and wrote the word Yuanzi inside.

Conan hesitated for a while holding the brush, and finally wrote a sentence, Kudo Shinichi Happy New Year.

Yamazaki smiled in his heart, it really is this, Sister Lan can't write it, Lan and Mao Lilan wrote it to arouse suspicion, and it is not appropriate to write Conan to send himself, only this.

"Stupid kid, you gave this, how can you give Lan's cup." Yuanzi said.

"It's okay." Lan hesitated for a moment holding the brush, and then ran out embarrassedly, "Don't follow."

Yuanzi said: "Really, the more this happens, the more I want to know what is written."

"That's right." Mei Daizi replied.

After a while, Lan ran back with a blushing face and put the cup into the box, but the words on the cup were still seen, Kudo Shin, a big fool, reasoned.

"This blessing is really unique." Yuanzi laughed.

"This is not the same as Conan's." Mei Daizi laughed.

"..." Conan was speechless. Fortunately, he gave himself one, and I won't accept it.

Kasama Kikuyo picked up three boxes containing water glasses, "I'm going to send these to the warehouse, everyone can go to the restaurant to have some drinks first, and I will take the teacher to find you later."...
