Chapter 909 Holographic Game Asking for Monthly Tickets (〃〃)
Just now, Conan shouted loudly, and the two people who were passing by the corner heard the sound and retreated.
Jiang Xia and Kinoshita Yoko appeared in front of everyone.
When Maori Kogoro saw the sweet-looking person in a long skirt next to Jiang Xia, his eyes lit up: Miss Yoko!!!
He used the nearby corridor window as a mirror and quickly adjusted his tie and hair.
Then he walked calmly to Jiang Xia and Kinoshita Yoko, nodded and greeted them.
Then he grabbed Jiang Xia, turned around with his arm around hers, and quietly reprimanded Kinoshita Yoko with his back to hers: "Miss Yoko is here, why didn't you bring her to see me earlier!"
Jiang Xia also quietly explained: "I just arrived."
After saying that, he raised his voice a little, then returned to normal volume: "Come, introduce yourself." He gestured to Kinoshita Yoko about Maori Kogoro, "I think I've mentioned this several times before - this is Mr. Maori Kogoro, the father of my classmate, and also a great detective senior."
Maori Kogoro, a huge fan of Kinoshita Yoko: "!"
Suddenly facing his idol, he no longer cared about whispering to Jiang Xia. He straightened his back and maintained the figure of a handsome uncle.
Kinoshita Yoko took the initiative to extend her hand to him and said with a smile: "I've heard a lot about you. Jiang Xia often talks about you. It seems that he has learned a lot of valuable experience from you."
…Jiang Xia actually never talked about these things, but she often mentioned that the uncle next door was also her fan. So when Kinoshita Yoko sent peripherals to Jiang Xia, she would often send an extra copy.
...However, since Jiang Xia said that Kogoro Mori is a "senior detective", it must be correct for me to praise him like this.
Kogoro Mori failed to see through his idol's little thoughts.
He happily shook hands with Kinoshita Yoko, and was even more delighted when he heard these words: "Hahaha, no - it's my job to support the younger generation! Besides, Jiang Xia is a smart kid, he can learn anything once you teach him..."
The group walked and talked in a harmonious atmosphere until they arrived at the banquet hall.
…
There is still some time before the press conference officially starts.
Yoko Kinoshita did not stay long.
Others came to enjoy the party, but she came to work.
She quickly said goodbye to a few people and went backstage to prepare for the opening performance.
…
Kogoro Mouri was immersed in a pink bubble of happiness.
It was a long time after Yoko Kinoshita left that he came to his senses and turned to look at Jiang Xia.
"..." According to what Kinoshita Yoko said just now, Jiang Xia seemed to have said a lot of good things about him on weekdays, which made Miss Yoko have a very good impression of Mori Kogoro and felt that he was a reliable and responsible senior.
However, Kogoro Maori thought about it and realized that he seemed to have never taught Jiang Xia anything in the past.
...I suddenly felt a little guilty again.
Maori Kogoro: "..." Fortunately, Jiang Xia is still young, and there is still a lot of time - it doesn't matter if I haven't taught her before, it's not too late to start teaching now! It doesn't count as lying to Miss Yoko.
Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro raised his hand and patted Jiang Xia's shoulder appreciatively: "Not bad, kid! I will continue to teach you in the future - tell me, what do you want to learn!"
Halfway through his words, he caught a glimpse of a row of self-serve champagnes on the long table. He felt a little greedy and changed his tone: "...why not first teach you how to taste wine?"
As he spoke, Kogoro Maori naturally reached out and picked up a wine glass.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He sniffed the aroma of wine in the air, and while his heart was beating, he glanced across the hall and carefully observed the environment.
There were many big names at this press conference, so the confidentiality requirements for the party were also very high - the reporters were blocked outside, and they could not enter here after the red carpet process was over, and could only go to the specially prepared reception hall.
In other words, there is no need to worry about negative news like "high school detective develops drinking habit" tonight. Plus, the champagne and the white grape juice next to it are similar in color, so if you add a little bit, others can't really tell...
A series of thoughts flashed through my mind quickly.
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze and came to a conclusion in his mind.
Almost at the same time, Kogoro Maori handed over the cup tacitly.
Jiang Xia took it with dignity and took a sip expectantly.
Sweet.
And there was no smell of alcohol.
"……?"
He was startled, took away the glass and looked at it carefully.
Suddenly I realized that both the drink from Kogoro Mouri himself and the drink handed to him were high-heeled glasses filled with clear liquid.
But if you look closely, the one that Kogoro Mori drank from was an elegant flute-shaped cup.
The "wine" that Jiang Xia took was actually a spherical cup with a short handle.
"..." Jiang Xia gradually discovered the problem, "Wait, this is white grape juice?"
Didn’t you say you wanted to teach wine tasting?
"Men shouldn't care about details!" Maori Kogoro had already finished a glass of champagne. He turned around and picked up a new glass of champagne. "It's all a drink anyway, it doesn't matter what you drink!"
Jiang Xia looked at his back with a grim look: "..."
A cunning old detective who deceives his neighbors' feelings.
Next time I send him a peripheral, I will definitely give him the incomplete version that he forgot to sign. Because men can’t care about details…
…
Kogoro Mouri was eating and drinking happily when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He raised his head alertly and looked around, but found no source of danger.
Instead, I saw a group of children running around happily in the banquet hall.
Kogoro Maori was stunned: At first glance, many children in formal wear had egg-shaped badges on their bodies - this meant that they were qualified to enter and experience the "cocoon".
"The grandson of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, the son of a Noh musician, the grandson of a banking tycoon, the son of a politician..." Maori Kogoro counted in a low voice, clicking his tongue a few times, his tone complicated, "The second and third generations who will carry the future of Japan are almost all here. This game is really amazing."
"..." Jiang Xia looked at those children who looked like passers-by, and looked at Maori Kogoro with a little surprise: You can recognize them, you are really good...
…
Haibara Ai was playing with the child a few meters away.
At this time, she strolled to Jiang Xia's side and found that Jiang Xia was holding a wine glass and was distracted, so she pulled Jiang Xia's wrist and lowered her head to sniff the glass in his hand.
It turned out to be grape juice, not the "wine tasting" that Kogoro Mori had been clamoring about.
Only then did Haibara Ai let go of her hand and went to pick up a glass of juice for herself.
Afterwards, she sipped the wine slowly and gracefully while watching a few kids who were playing football without any scruples in the banquet hall, and muttered in a low voice:
"It is truly a microcosm of Japan's ugly hereditary system - with this kind of inheritance, the wrong history of mankind will continue to repeat itself, and it cannot be changed no matter how long it takes."
The son of a politician becomes a politician, the son of a bank president becomes a bank president, and the children of an organization become the next generation of the organization.
Haibara Ai thought of herself and Jiang Xia, sighed, and the grape juice in her hand suddenly didn't taste sweet anymore.
