NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 191 What a shame.
The group of people walked into the reception room under the leadership of Kuroiwa Village Chief. The village chief's secretary named Hirata Kazaki placed a tea cup in front of everyone, and then respectfully exited the room.
"It turns out that I have the intention to cooperate with Uncle Cheng and the village chief..." Tang Muqing bent his eyes, and his delicate face showed a gentle but not intimate, distant but well-educated smile, keeping the relationship at a suitable social level. Within the distance, "That's really a coincidence. It seems that Yueying Island and I are very destined."
Hearing this, the smile on Black Rock Village Chief's face deepened. He sat on the sofa in the reception room and looked at the people in front of him with a warm smile. Finally, he hesitated and asked, "Mr. Tang Mu is here this time..."
"Ah... I'm just traveling with a few friends." Tang Muqing smiled and brought the topic from himself to Mouri Kogoro next to him, "This is the famous detective Mr. Moori Kogoro. He received a message from Moon Shadow Island. An investigation commission, and I happened to be free these days, so I came along."
At this point, Tang Muqing raised his hand slightly and introduced softly, "This is Mr. Maori's daughter Xiaolan and the kid Conan who lives at home temporarily. This... my life assistant Mr. Amuro."
Hearing the word detective, the head of Black Rock Village's eyelids twitched slightly, his eyes fell on Mouri Kogoro, and his tone was long, "It turns out to be Detective Mouri..."
He hadn't heard of it, but it didn't stop him from hating the detective profession.
"Yes." Mouri Kogoro smiled, lowered his head to find the commission letter, and asked casually: "I wonder if you have heard of the name Aso Keiji? This time the client calls himself Aso Keiji. Although he is dead, but... … Are there any of his old friends and relatives still living on the island?”
As soon as the words fell, a heart-shaking silence spread.
The teacup held in the Black Rock Village Chief's hand shook slightly, and a little warm tea spilled on his legs, spreading a darker color on the black suit.
"Ah, Aso Keiji..." Kuroiwa Village Chief came to his senses, hurriedly put down the tea cup in his hand, and changed the subject: "It's been too long and I can't remember clearly. I need some time to check it. After the memorial ceremony tonight, I Is it okay to take your time looking for information?”
Mouri Kogoro didn't seem to notice the awkwardness in the atmosphere, and he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"
"Don't you remember clearly?" Conan sat on the sofa, with a pair of short legs hanging from the edge, unable to reach the ground. "But Mr. Secretary remembers it very clearly..."
Black Rock Village Chief:...
Whose child? !
"Good boy, don't interrupt when the adults are talking." Tang Muqing smiled and rubbed Conan's head, looking at Conan with his light brown eyes, "Ignorant children are not lovable."
Interrupting and asking random questions!
Deserve a beating!
On the side, Mao Lilan looked embarrassed and hurriedly grabbed Conan's shoulders, "Conan, don't talk nonsense."
Conan was held down by Xiaolan's shoulders, and he could only look up at Tang Muqing blankly. His eyes finally had a daze that matched his appearance. He stared into Tang Muqing's eyes and couldn't say anything.
"Ah, look, every time you make trouble, Xiaolan needs to follow you everywhere to apologize." The smile on Tang Muqing's face was gentle, and his voice was also soft and smiling, and he placed one hand on Conan's He stroked his head gently, pinched the fragile but hard skull under his fingertips, "I bent down to apologize again and again, sacrificing my face and dignity to deal with the aftermath for you, Conan, you are disobedient."
Conan:! ! !
The Shinigami primary school student's pupils were constricted. He wanted to look up at Xiaolan but his head was held down.
A slightly cool palm was pressed on the head, and the icy cold temperature spread along the skull to the limbs, intertwined with the guilt growing in the heart, sour and astringent.
Tang Muqing smiled and patted Conan on the head.
"I don't feel bad... Conan is staying at my house temporarily. It's right." Mao Lilan looked embarrassed and explained quickly.
"Is that so? Then Shinichi and Conan are really lucky..." Tang Muqing couldn't help but chuckle, and after retracting his hand, he stretched out his hand towards Fangtani Rei who was sitting next to him.
Jiang Guling glanced at Tang Muqing, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and threw it over.
Tang Muqing wiped his fingertips slowly and said softly, "Oh, if Shinichi doesn't come back for a long time, I also want to experience this blessing..."
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the two men, one big and one small, widened.
Mouri Kogoro looked at Tang Muqing and said disapprovingly: "Hey! You kid said this in front of me!"
"No!" Conan shouted in shock, "Xiaolan, she...she...she..."
The high school girl's cheeks turned red and she said calmly: "Brother Tang Mu, you are joking again..."
"So you'd better call me uncle." Tang Muqing's curved eyes became wider and he looked at Conan with a smile, "If you call me uncle, Xiaolan will also have to call me uncle, so I will be considered an elder, right?" ?"
How can the elders have evil thoughts towards the younger ones?
and so……
The Grim Reaper must be called uncle when he is an elementary school student!
Conan raised his head and looked at Tang Muqing. Even though the other person's tone was joking and smiling, his eyes were gentle and serious.
For Xiaolan...
"Uncle!" Conan closed his eyes suddenly and raised his head and shouted loudly.
Mao Lilan:......
Mao Lilan couldn't help laughing, rubbing Conan's head and laughing for a long time, "Brother Tang Mu really likes to tease children."
Mouri Kogoro glanced at Conan with disgust, looked away, crossed his arms and sat on the sofa, "I really like to joke."
Talking and joking about other people's memorial services is disrespectful at all.
But that's right, Tang Muqing was used to smiling, and he always had a slight smile even at the crime scene.
"I still like this lady better than Xiaolan." Tang Muqing returned the handkerchief to Jianggu Ling, raised his eyes and looked at the woman in a black dress sitting next to the head of Heiyan Village, "I don't know if I am Do you have the honor to ask me the name of this beautiful lady?"
The village chief of Heiyan was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "This is my daughter, Your Majesty Heiyan."
"Ah, it turns out to be Miss Lingzi." Tang Muqing smiled softly and was interrupted just as he was about to say something.
The man wearing a knitted hat walked in from the door, with his hands in his trouser pockets and a small braid dangling on the back of his head, "The ritual will begin soon."
"Who is this?" Tang Muqing raised his eyebrows, his smile just the right amount to shrink.
The village chief of Black Rock stood up and said, "This is your fiancé, Murasawa Monday."
Tang Muqing:...
The gentle light in Tang Muqing's eyes disappeared instantly, and his smile became programmed, "Oh."
Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of the Black Rock Village Chief, Tang Muqing also stood up, neatly tidied up his suit slowly, turned the golden beads on his wrist and walked outside, "What a pity..."
The head of Heiyan Village was slightly startled, looking at Tang Muqing's back and then at his son-in-law.
The contrast is stark.
The village chief of Heiyan sighed heavily and followed Tang Muqing's footsteps towards the memorial site.
Oh, what a pity.
