Chapter 272 Symmetrical Villa

Haibara Ai:"……"

This time, it was her turn to remain silent.

After a while, she said faintly: "...Xiao Yu, you didn't tell me."

"Oh, it seems like that. Then I'll tell you again." Ze Yu smiled brightly and said softly, "Remember, my birthday is July 7th, and I'm a Cancer."

"Okay, I understand." Huiyuan Ai nodded heavily and said seriously: "I will remember it well."

She engraved this moment deeply into her heart.

"Then let's put it this way, you must never forget my birthday~" Ze Yu smiled and touched Haibara Ai's head.

Although Ze Yu does not have an advantage in the head-patting kill when their heights are basically the same, the effect is still very good.

Huihara Ai nodded with a slightly red face.

Conan was busy sorting out the envelopes, pretending that he didn't see the two guys showing off their love.

.........

4 month 29 number.

Many cars passed by the gate of Moritani's house, and several distinguished guests got out of each car. They handed the invitation letters to the guard beside them and then walked into the yard of the villa.

The Maori family soon arrived at the scene, followed by Sawaha.

Although he did not receive the invitation, Hanai Akiko did. She originally didn't want to come, but was dragged here by Sawaha.

As for why Ze Yu himself did not receive the invitation letter, but his subordinates received it, the reason is very simple.

Because a person of Moritani Teiji's level can only know the chairmen of some large conglomerates at most.

People like Shiro Suzuki and Akiko Hanai are the top figures that Teiji Moriya can come into contact with.

To put it bluntly, Moriya Teiji is not qualified to know about the Fang Group, let alone know Ze Yu.

After all, only a few people know about the existence of the Fang Group.

On the island country, those who know about the Fang Group are all powerful people. They form an upper-class circle, and Shiro Suzuki is among them.

But in this circle, even Shiro Suzuki is just a low-level figure, barely qualified to know the existence of the Fang Group.

As for Moriya Teiji, his rank is too low and he cannot get in touch with this circle, so he is naturally not qualified to send an invitation letter to Ze Yu's superficial identity "Liaoya Twenty".

.........

Xiaolan stood in front of the fountain, staring at the huge villa in front of her. She was a little surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This villa is so big..."

Maori Kogoro put his hands on his hips and said with great momentum: "This is a traditional building from the 17th century in Eagle Country, from the era of the 'Stuart' dynasty!"

"Dad, you know so much about buildings?"

"Of course." Uncle Maori said smugly, "In the past, other people called your father the 'mobile library'."

"Look carefully at the left and right sides of this villa." Uncle Maori waved his finger.

Xiaolan observed it for a while and exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, the left and right sides of this villa are both perfectly symmetrical structures. Whether it is the garden or the fountain, they are all the same!"

"That's right." Uncle Maori added appropriately, "Symmetrical buildings like this are the unique symbol of the Stuart Dynasty!" "Professor Moritani spent his time in Eagle Country before high school, so he is particularly attracted to Eagle Country-style architecture. His villa was designed by him personally, also in this style."

At this point, Uncle Maori lowered his head slightly and glanced at the cheat sheet in his hand.

Conan stood aside, his mouth twitching, thinking to himself: "I knew that Uncle Maori's knowledge was not so profound, it turns out he had cheat sheets..."

"Professor Moritani's real name was 'Moritani Sadaharu'. Later, in pursuit of symmetry, he changed it to 'Moritani Teiji'." Uncle Mori said in a serious tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice of praise came from the side: "Mr. Maori is indeed a famous detective, he is very knowledgeable."

This voice seems familiar?

Uncle Maori turned around in surprise and looked at the person who suddenly spoke. After a moment's pause, he recognized the other person's identity: "It turns out to be Miss Hanai."

That’s right, the person who came was Akiko Hanai, who had met Uncle Mori twice before.

Their first meeting was at a banquet hosted by the Yotsubishi Group, and their second meeting was at a banquet hosted by the Suzuki Group.

This is the third time we meet.

In fact, Hanai Akiko was really not interested in this kind of party. If her boss hadn't forced her to come here, she wouldn't be so bored.

If you have spare time, you can read more books instead of attending such boring gatherings.

Xiaolan greeted Hanai Akiko: "Long time no see, Miss Hanai."

"Ms. Xiaolan." Akiko Hanai stood next to Uncle Mori and responded with her habitual smile on her face.

For a chairman of a large conglomerate like her, learning to smile is the most basic skill.

Ze Yu and Huiyuan Ai walked over from behind Hanai Akiko and greeted Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, we are here too."

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Ai, you are here too?" Xiao Lan was a little surprised but also a little confused when she saw acquaintances.

She couldn't help but ask, "By the way, may I ask, what is the relationship between Ms. Huajing and Xiaoyu?"

Xiaolan has met Hanai Akiko twice, and during both meetings, Sawaha stayed by Hanai Akiko's side.

Xiaolan originally thought this was a coincidence, but now it seems that this is not a coincidence at all. Xiaoyu and Hanai Akiko are related, and the relationship is very close.

I just don't know what their relationship is? Why does Hanai Akiko always bring Xiaoyu with her when she attends a party?

Facing Xiaolan's question, Hanai Akiko remained calm, her expression unchanged, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is my good friend, just like the relationship between Miss Xiaolan and little Conan."

"I see." Xiaolan suddenly realized, and then bowed slightly: "Sorry, I asked rashly, please forgive my presumptuousness!"

The relationship between Xiaolan and Hanai Akiko can only be considered average, perhaps not even friends, but just familiar strangers.

So, Xiaolan suddenly asked, wanting to know the relationship between the other party and Zeyu. This behavior was indeed a bit impolite. After getting the answer, Xiaolan quickly apologized.

"It's okay, Miss Xiaolan, don't worry about it." Hanai Akiko smiled and said generously.

She wouldn't care about such little things.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair, thick eyebrows and a small mustache walked over and appeared in front of everyone.
