He is very strict about time and cannot tolerate even a one-second error in the clock.
Judging from her behavior of blaming Kogoro Mouri for being two minutes late, the other party's strictness about time has become a part of daily life.
Dealing with them would probably be very tiring.
With such a character, it is not surprising that the prisoner would ridicule him in the notice letter.
"Forget it, ma'am."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big beard and a pipe in his mouth, with a rough face, and a blonde woman, each holding an umbrella, came to the door of the mansion.
The other person seemed to have heard what Hoshina Rukako said. She came over, folded her umbrella, and smiled to smooth things over, saying, "Just like everyone inevitably needs a break, occasionally letting the clock take a breath can also help people relax.
So what's wrong with that?"
"Ah, the clock you are talking about has no life, so there is no need for it to rest like a human being, right?" The middle-aged lady holding a red umbrella asked with a smile.
"No, clocks and people are the same!"
Just then, an old man in a raincoat came up in the rain. He walked up the stairs with a cane and said, "Just like people need physical examinations to confirm their health from time to time, clocks will soon rust and malfunction if they are not checked regularly.
Remember, clocks continue to tick while people sleep.
While recording time, the gears are constantly being worn out, and the spring will gradually fail, right? "
Watching the three people appear one after another, Tang Ze narrowed his eyes, but he couldn't help but be cautious. After all, Kogoro Mouri and Conan were here, which meant that a murder was bound to happen in this mansion today.
In other words, the warning letter that had been silent for the past two years might happen tonight, and the victim would naturally be the Hoshina Rukako next to him.
The three people in front of him were naturally listed as key targets by Tang Ze.
Although many guests will definitely return to the banquet today, these three arrived before and after all with Kogoro Mori, and the number of people is a sensitive "classic three-choice" configuration, so naturally we have to pay some attention to it.
But just as he was about to ask for the basic information of the three people, Maori Kogoro looked at Hoshina Rukako and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, who are these three?"
"They are Mr. Kiyobe Satoru, who designed this mansion, and Ms. Suho Chiaki, who was in charge of the interior decoration."
Hoshina Rukako smiled as she looked at the last gentleman who came and said, "As for the last one, he is Mr. Kotan Rinsaku, who built the clock in this mansion.
The three of them are also guests attending the birthday party tonight."
"I just came to check on the big clock. As for your birthday party, I just happened to be there."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing what Hoshina Rukako said, the old man, Gutan Lunsaku, said bluntly, "Excuse me, please move aside. I'm about to get stuck."
Gu Tanlun leaned on his crutch in one hand and carried his tool bag in the other as he walked inside. "I promised to take care of the clock for the rest of my life. This is the agreement between me and my old friend."
"Um, who is this old friend?" Conan asked curiously, relying on the convenience around him.
"He's the watchmaker we hired before. He's basically in charge of all the clocks in this mansion."
Hoshina Rukako said this, folding her arms and looking at Suho Chiaki, "I remember he was your brother, right?"
"Yes, it was thanks to my brother's kind words that I was able to take on the job of decorating this mansion."
Zhou Fang Zhiqiu replied with a smile, then seemed to remember something and quickly walked towards the other person. He picked up the camera hanging on his chest and said with a smile, "I found a very beautiful carpet. Would you like to see a sample?"
"Let's wait and see." Hoshina Rukako said with a smile, folding her arms.
"Okay." Zhou Fang Zhiqiu nodded flatteringly.
"Okay, everyone, please come inside. It's not convenient to talk standing at the door." Hoshina Rukako extended her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Come in and we'll talk."
"Then please give me your umbrellas for safekeeping." The butler on the side stretched out his hands and signaled everyone to hand over the umbrellas to him.
Maori Kogoro, Karasawa and the others handed their umbrellas to each other, but Qingbian Dingwu smiled and said, "You don't need mine, this is a folding umbrella."
"Okay." After hearing Qing Bian Dingwu's words, the butler did not force it.
After everyone called for an umbrella, they followed Hoshina Rukako into the mansion.
Walking towards the living room, Maori Kogoro and the other two immediately approached Tang Ze and the other two.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Kogoro Mouri greeted Tang Ze with a smile.
"The other party has some connection with Ayako. Because of the notice letter, they hope that I can help solve the problem."
Tang Ze explained with a smile, "It's Detective Maori who is attending the banquet as a bodyguard this time."
"Yes, of course."
Maori Kogoro adjusted his tie and said proudly, "With me as your bodyguard, you will be safe this time.
If the murderer dares to come, I will bring him to justice!"
"I don't trust you at all!" Tang Ze was secretly dissatisfied when he heard Maori Kogoro's confident look.
You should know that according to the "Scientific Law", the mortality rate of asking Kogoro Mouri to be a bodyguard is basically around 99%, and only a very few lucky people can barely escape.
So asking Kogoro Mouri to be a bodyguard for the sake of his reputation is really giving yourself a "fatal buff".
