Moritani Residence.
"Hello, please show me your invitation."
"Okay, here you go."
With a sweet smile on her face, Xiaolan handed the invitation to the guard on the right.
"Let's go in, Nan."
After the gatekeeper confirmed that everything was correct, Xiaolan affectionately put her arm around Yuzuru Nanasu, who was standing to the side, deep in thought and staring intently at the gate.
"Okay." Yu Sheng Nan gently patted Xiao Lan's cute head, and then walked through the gate with her.
Wow, it's so beautiful!
As soon as Xiaolan stepped into the manor, she was captivated by the beautiful scenery before her and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Yuzuru looked up and saw that Moriya Teiji's small estate was exceptionally beautiful, especially the magnificent villa, whose imposing architectural style was breathtaking.
The villa is surrounded by exquisitely landscaped gardens, while a fountain in the center cheerfully sprays crystal-clear water droplets.
Yuzuru nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Ran's praise.
Although Teiji Moriya's pursuit of symmetrical aesthetics may be somewhat excessive, it is undeniable that, as an architect, his buildings are undoubtedly masterpieces of the highest caliber.
"Something feels off," Xiaolan muttered to herself, frowning as she pinched her chin and stared intently at the neatly arranged buildings in front of her.
She felt a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside her, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
“Symmetry,” Yuzuru uttered softly.
"Hmm?" Xiaolan turned her head in confusion upon hearing this, and her eyes met Yusheng Nan's.
The latter raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then explained, "That's right, it's symmetrical. Xiaolan, you'll see when you go to the middle."
Hearing what Yuzuru said, Ran ran quickly to the central fountain with some doubt and looked around in all directions.
Her eyes widened, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.
"Wow, it really is! I'm standing here and looking around, and everything, from the scenery to the buildings, is exactly the same! Nan, how do you even know this? You're amazing!" Xiao Lan exclaimed excitedly.
Hearing Xiaolan's praise, Yu Shengnan put his hands in his pockets, smiled, and walked towards Xiaolan.
As he walked, he said calmly, “Actually, it’s not hard to understand. Mr. Moriya lived in England during his high school years and was influenced by the local culture, which naturally led to his unique pursuit of symmetrical beauty. Therefore, he incorporated this style into the design of this building complex.”
"I see!" Xiaolan's eyes shone with admiration as she stared intently at Yuzuru.
Ran only felt impressed but didn't quite understand Moriya Teiji's architectural style. However, Nan was different; he knew so much!
"Of course! Your boyfriend is really amazing!" Yu Shengnan teased, gently flicking the tip of Xiao Lan's cute nose.
The two were deeply in love when a voice suddenly interrupted them.
"This must be Ms. Ran Mouri, right? Welcome, I'm Teiji Moriya."
A middle-aged man with perfectly symmetrical eyebrows and beard walked out, his gaze sweeping over Yuzuru Nanami.
Moriya Teiji had been secretly observing the man and woman from inside.
At first, he thought the boy standing next to Ran Mouri was just an ordinary friend of hers.
It wasn't until he saw Ran Mouri and that man's intimate behavior that he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Ah, you must be Mr. Moriya. I am Ran Mouri, and this is..."
When Ran saw the person who wrote her the letter appear, she was about to go up and explain that Shinichi Kudo was not her boyfriend when she was interrupted by Nanami Hanyu's voice.
"Hello, Mr. Moriya, my name is Hanyu Nan, and I am Ran's boyfriend." With that, Hanyu Nan put his arm around Ran and, under Ran's shy gaze, gently kissed her forehead, asserting his ownership.
Ran had already explained the contents of Teiji Moriya's letter to her clearly on the way here.
Therefore, Moriya Teiji is now a dying man. Once he completes his mission, I can send him on his way.
Hearing this and seeing the scene before him, Moriya Teiji was a little confused. So you're not Shinichi Kudo's girlfriend after all? Then what are you doing here?
He knew these private investigators were unreliable; the information they provided was wrong.
Thinking this, Teiji Moriya asked unwillingly, "No, Miss Mori, isn't your boyfriend Kudo...?"
"Mr. Moriya, is there anything you wish to say?" Hanyu Nan interrupted Moriya Teiji's words expressionlessly, a faint starlight flashing in his eyes.
You have already chosen a path to death.
"What kind of look is that!" Looking at Yuu Nan's cold, emotionless gaze, Moriya Teiji felt his heart suddenly stop, and a chill instantly rose from the soles of his feet.
He had a strong feeling that if he continued talking, something terrible and horrible would happen.
"Ahem, I knew it! How could a detective brat like Shinichi Kudo possibly have a girlfriend as beautiful and charming as Ms. Mori? Mr. Yuzuru and Ms. Mori standing together are a match made in heaven, they look so perfect together!"
So many years of life experience are not for nothing. When he realized that something was wrong, Moriya Teiji immediately changed his tone and began to praise the two of them incessantly.
"Oh, not at all, Mr. Moriya, you flatter me." Xiaolan was a little embarrassed by his praise, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
Yuzuru Hanyu smiled faintly again and nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad, you're quite sensible. We can keep you here until you achieve your life's dreams.
"Phew~" Moriya Teiji let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the inexplicable, almost suffocating pressure on his body finally disappear. He breathed a sigh of relief and then silently wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.
All I wanted was to hire Shinichi Kudo.
Who is this amazing person we've attracted?!
He's definitely not a good person; he even tried to bully this old man. It's really too much.
Moriya Teiji thought this to himself, but as he thought, he didn't stop talking at all: "Mr. Yuzuru, Ms. Mori, afternoon tea is being held in the backyard, let's go over there!" With that, Moriya Teiji quickly stretched out his hand, took the lead, and began to lead the way.
"Nan, Mr. Moriya said we're a perfect match!" Ran whispered excitedly to Hanyu Nan, following behind Moriya Teiji, her face beaming with happiness.
"Hehe, so Mr. Moriya is an artist after all, he has such good taste!" Yuzuru looked at Ran, who was as excited as a kitten that had just stolen some cream, and smiled slightly.
Whether you have good judgment or not is not important; what matters is how strong your fist is.
Even if your fists are strong enough, you still have to tell me they're good.
