Chapter 270 Invitation from the Architect
Conan felt that he was looked down upon and was a little angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, so he felt very aggrieved.
He simply ignored Ze Yu and focused on dealing with the many envelopes in front of him.
Sawaha and Haibara Ai also started working, sharing a lot of the workload for Conan.
"Really? Why are there so many envelopes addressed to my dad? Why aren't there any addressed to me? After all, I am the strongest detective in the island country!" Conan flipped through the envelopes in front of him and couldn't help but complain again.
"He's just one of the two strongest detectives." Ze Yu threw the envelope in his hand into the box beside him and reminded: "Don't forget, there is also a Hattori Heiji in Kansai."
Conan curled his lips, looked at Dr. Agasa, and asked, "Doctor, what are you researching? Are you going to give me a new tool?"
"Unfortunately, it's not." Dr. Agasa pointed at the steel mantis on the workbench and said excitedly, "I'm developing a steel insect that can fly into the sky."
"If it is successfully developed, it will definitely be welcomed by many children. Then, I can make a lot of money and become a billionaire!"
"Doctor, you are not short of money. Do you really want to be a billionaire?" Ze Yu asked curiously.
Before Sawaha and Haibara Ai arrived, Dr. Agasa was single, had no worries, and had very few places in his life where he needed to spend money.
He used most of his funds to purchase various precious metals and tools, and then developed many inventions.
Although most of these inventions were scrap, there were some that were quite practical and made a lot of money after being sold to big conglomerates.
In addition, the doctor also takes private jobs, accepts private customization, and helps others develop some small props, which also makes a lot of extra money.
Therefore, even if a lot of money is spent on research and development, excluding daily expenses, Dr. Agasa still has a lot of surplus funds and will not be short of money at all.
Even though Ze Yu and the others later moved into his house without spending any money, Dr. Agasa's personal piggy bank was still full.
That’s why, now, seeing Dr. Agasa pursuing money so much, Ze Yu feels a little strange.
In his impression, the doctor is not a greedy person, right?
"Money is a small matter. The most important thing is fame!" Dr. Agasa said seriously.
"Doctor, stop daydreaming all day." Conan looked at him helplessly, then flipped through the envelope in his hand.
Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, picked up an envelope in surprise, and said happily: "Finally found it, the envelope addressed to me!"
Conan turned the envelope over, looked at the signature on it, and whispered: "Moriya Teiji?"
"This name seems familiar." Huiyuan Ai thought for a while and said calmly: "I remember that he was a very famous architectural designer?"
"Yes, that's him." Ze Yu said casually, "He's the pervert who pursues symmetrical beauty. In order to maintain symmetry, he changed his own name."
When mentioning 'Moriya Teiji', Ze Yu's tone was indifferent, even a little contemptuous, and it was obvious that he looked down on the other party.
"So he is an architect, but why did he suddenly write to me?" Conan was a little confused.
He opened the envelope, looked at the words on it, and whispered: "I am very presumptuous to write this letter to you suddenly..."
Conan quickly read the entire letter, and everyone who listened quietly understood the purpose of the letter. The architect named "Teiji Moriya" will hold a garden tea party on April 4th. He has invited many distinguished guests, one of whom is the most powerful detective in Kanto, Shinichi Kudo.
In other words, Conan was invited.
"Do you want to go over?" asked Huibara Ai.
"I don't even know how to turn back into Shinichi, how can I possibly go to that tea party?" Conan rolled his dead eyes speechlessly.
He couldn't help but complain: "I thought drinking Lao Baigan would help me change back, but that night, I was so drunk that it didn't work at all."
Ze Yu smiled slightly: "Conan, do you want to know how to turn back into an adult?"
"Of course." Conan said without hesitation.
Ze Yu did not keep the audience in suspense and directly told them the correct method: "It's very simple. You need a prerequisite, and that is a cold."
"When you catch a cold, if you drink Lao Baigan again, it will take effect, but this effect is time-limited. When the time is up, you will turn back into Conan again."
"So that's how it is." Conan suddenly realized and said excitedly, "No wonder, I drank so much white liquor that time, but I didn't change back. It turns out it's because I didn't catch a cold."
"Since you know the way to become an adult again, do you want to go?" Haibara Ai asked again.
"If I'm going to go there as 'Shinichi', then forget it." Conan put down the letter in his hand and explained, "I'm not interested in catching a cold again just for a tea party. And if I go to a tea party with a cold, I might be disliked."
"Besides, even if I can temporarily turn back into an adult, I might change back again at any time. If I can't even guarantee the duration of being an adult, it's best not to show up in front of everyone easily, otherwise I'll be exposed easily."
"The most important thing is that I don't want to attract the attention of the Black Organization for the time being. If Shinichi shows up and is investigated by the Black Organization, and eventually Conan is implicated, I'll be in trouble."
"I'd better attend the tea party as Conan. Let Xiaolan go in place of Shinichi and bring Conan along. This is the most appropriate way."
After Conan finished speaking, he picked up his phone and dialed Xiaolan's number.
The call was connected quickly, and Xiaolan's surprised voice came through the phone screen.
Even Doze Yu and Haibara Ai could hear the excitement and excitement in Xiaolan's words.
Ze Yu suddenly felt some sympathy for Xiaolan.
A beautiful young girl was suddenly abandoned by her boyfriend. She waited patiently and was even very happy when he called her occasionally...
No matter how you think about it, Conan is a typical scumbag, but he doesn't even know it. Sometimes, he even thinks Xiaolan is too talkative.
"Shinichi, how come you had time to call me?"
"Xiao Lan, I have something to ask of you. An architectural designer has invited me to attend his tea party."
"But I'm busy with a case and don't have time to attend the tea party, so please go in my place."
