Teiji Moriya's gaze lingered on "Shinichi Kudo," whose mouth was stuffed with snacks, for a moment before he spoke again: "Here's the thing, I have three friends who co-founded an internet company, but they set up a complex password to protect their network security. And the puzzle we're facing this time is to deduce that password."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Teiji Moriya added, "Oh, right, there's also a high school detective here—Shinichi Kudo. If we let him try to solve this mystery, he'll probably find the answer quickly."
After saying that, Teiji Moriya turned to look at Yukiko and smiled.
"Wow, it's actually the famous detective Shinichi Kudo!"
"So the person who just got dumped was Shinichi Kudo!"
"I used to read news reports about him, but I haven't seen any related news recently..."
Everyone was talking about it, and Conan, unaware of what was happening, had his reputation completely ruined by his own mother.
"Uh... um." After struggling to swallow a bite of cake, Yukiko noticed everyone around her staring at her. She blinked in confusion, pointed to herself, and said uncertainly, "Me, me?"
"Yes, I believe Mr. Kudo can guess it!" Teiji Moriya said with a smile.
"Alright then, I'll show you what I've got." Although she had no idea what was going on, Yukiko still confidently wiped the corner of her mouth.
Hmph, even though she was pretending to be a famous detective, Yukiko didn't believe it. With her intelligence, how could she be worse than her son?
Shinichi, let your mom help you defeat this bad man in front of Ran.
Yuzuru, meanwhile, leisurely played with Ran's soft little hand, looking quite content, ready to enjoy Yukiko's performance.
"The passage order is actually a word composed of the names of these three people. Here is their relevant information." Moriya Teiji said as he took out a thick stack of papers from his pocket and distributed them to everyone present.
"Mr. Yuzuru, and Ms. Mori, why don't you give it a try too!" With the thought of giving it a shot, Teiji Moriya also handed a document to the young man who made him feel uncomfortable.
After all, to achieve one's great dream, without the password, one would truly have to give up halfway and perish along the way.
"You have three minutes. Everyone here, please think about it together!"
Teiji Moriya placed a delicate golden hourglass down, and the sand inside began to slowly slide down, thus starting the timer.
"What does this mean?" Xiaolan asked, holding the paper, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of confusion on her face.
"Hey, Nan, have you figured it out yet?" Noticing that Yuzuru Nan was resting his chin on his hand and had already placed the paper on the table, Ran couldn't help but ask curiously.
Yuzuru smiled as he looked at Yukiko, who was scratching her head in thought, and casually replied, "Well, let's wait for Kudo-san to give us the answer first, and then see if my guess is correct."
He actually knew the answer even earlier than Teiji Moriya knew the question.
What he's more curious about now is whether Yukiko can solve this riddle.
He had some doubts about Yukiko's intelligence.
"I surrender! I think we should wait for the famous detective to explain!" someone finally couldn't help but shout out.
"Me too!" the others chimed in, indicating their intention to give up.
All eyes quickly turned to "Shinichi Kudo," hoping he could solve the mystery and provide a convincing answer.
"What? This isn't a puzzle at all!" Noticing everyone was looking at her, Yukiko looked at the paper in her hand, and sweat began to bead on her forehead.
She was initially confident that with her intelligence, she would be able to quickly provide the correct answer.
However, the moment she saw the question, she felt a wave of dizziness and was completely baffled!
"Is Shinichi any good or not? Maybe... Nana, you should go first!" Ran noticed Yukiko's ferocious face and said speechlessly.
"Alright, since Princess Xiaolan has spoken, how could this humble subject dare to disobey?" Yu Shengnan teased Xiaolan with a smile, then stood up.
He knew that Yukiko's intelligence was only limited to her extremely beautiful appearance.
"The answer is—Momotaro!"
Teiji Moriya's attention had been focused on "Shinichi Kudo," but upon hearing Nanami Hanyu's answer, he looked over in surprise.
"The three people were born a year apart, namely Shen, You, and Xu, representing the Chinese zodiac signs of monkey, rooster, and dog. These are all Momotaro's followers." Yuzuru Nan calmly and casually gave the answer.
"That seems to be true!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Who is this?
The men present picked up the note and examined it, only to be surprised to find that it was exactly as Yuzuru had said.
The women's eyes sparkled as they gazed admiringly at Yuzuru, who was speaking eloquently and with great enthusiasm.
He's so handsome!
"Correct answer, Mr. Yuzuru is indeed a promising young man!" Teiji Moriya said with a satisfied smile, feigning composure.
In truth, he was already overjoyed.
Luckily, he sent an invitation to Ran Mouri. She's such a good person. He shouldn't have suspected this young man of being a bad person.
Once I get the explosives using the code, I'll definitely set off lots of fireworks near their house to celebrate.
"I knew Nan was the best!" Ran happily kissed Nan on the cheek.
Her eyes were full of joy and love, as if the whole world had become a better place because of Yuzuru Hanyu's outstanding performance.
Teiji Moriya also offered his reward, warmly inviting the two to visit his exhibition hall together.
Yuzuru turned his gaze to Yukiko, who looked as if she had just realized something, and said with a slight smile, "Kudo-san, why don't you come along too, Moriya-san?"
“Of course, no problem, please come in, Mr. Kudo.” Teiji Moriya glanced at “Shinichi Kudo” who seemed slightly flustered after hearing Nanami Hanyu’s words, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He felt that this so-called high school detective, Shinichi Kudo, seemed a little silly.
Yukiko was very flustered. She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone's attention had been drawn away by that bad man, and then she excitedly started eating her snacks again.
But to her surprise, the bad man asked her to come along.
Has he discovered his identity again?
Last time it was because he knew his best friend, what's the reason this time?
