Chapter 490 Superficial Couple
Just when Uncle Maori was dumbfounded, a mature voice suddenly sounded.

"This kid is right."

An old face that looked to be over 50 years old suddenly stretched out from behind Uncle Maori and appeared beside him.

The uncle who suddenly appeared pulled his glasses with his fingers, revealing a pair of eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Maori, isn't it too much to say that my reputation has declined?"

"Uh..." Uncle Maori turned his head and looked at him in surprise, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Ah!" Xiaolan was surprised, raised her finger, pointed at the uncle who suddenly appeared, and exclaimed: "You are 'Hijikata Yukisaburo'!"

"Shh." Hijikata Yukisaburo raised his index finger, put it to his lips and made a hushing sound.

"Miss, please don't speak so loudly."

"Walls have ears. We have to be careful not to be overheard by those reporters."

"Reporters?" Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something. He suddenly realized and said, "Mr. Hijikata, it's because of the divorce between you and your wife last time, right? That's why those reporters have been staring at you."

"Are you divorced?" Xiaolan frowned, looking a little worried, and seemed unhappy.

Hijikata Yukisaburo's wife is also a famous actress, and Xiaolan has seen many of her performances.

When Xiaolan heard that the couple had divorced, she couldn't be happy and felt a little depressed.

"No, that's just a rumor without any basis." Hijikata Kozaburo waved his hand and said with a smile: "My relationship with my wife is very good."

"It was just because a handsome young man said something wrong, which led the reporters to mistakenly believe that my wife was having an affair with him."

"It was just a misunderstanding."

.........

After a while...

Everyone came to an apartment building. One of the rooms on the fifth floor of the apartment was Hijikata Yukisaburo's home.

As soon as the elevator door opened, everyone met a handsome young man. He was the pretty boy who was rumored to have had an affair with Hijikata's wife, Mr. Okita Ichi.

This pretty boy happened to live next door to Hijikata's house. They were neighbors and they met almost every day. No wonder Hijikata's wife cheated on him.

For a woman, a young man is more attractive than Hijikata who is already in his 50s.

The chance encounter with Okita Hajime was just a small episode. Everyone greeted him and walked into the elevator.

Soon, everyone arrived at the door of Hijikata's house.

Hijikata rang his doorbell, and after a while, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a woman who looked to be in her 30s. Although she was old, she was still a beauty.

The woman was wearing green clothes and a green hat on her head.

"Welcome, Mr. Maori," she said with a warm smile.

Seeing this woman, Xiaolan showed a surprised expression and said, "You are 'Yomi Nagakura'!"

Yumi Nagakura is Hijikata's wife, a famous actress. She is 38 years old this year, but she has taken good care of herself and looks like she is just around 30 years old.

"Mr. Maori, I'm sorry that you came here just for my husband." Yumi smiled brightly: "You must teach him well." After that, Yumi walked out of the door, stretched out her finger, poked Hijikata's face, and smiled: "Because he only knows how to swing a sword, and he has no idea how to play a qualified detective."

"Don't say that." Hijikata said with a smile.

Ze Yu looked at them quietly.

Although the two guys' emotions were very genuine, they could not be hidden from Ze Yu's eyes.

He could tell at a glance that the Hijikata couple were acting, deliberately appearing to be in love in front of outsiders.

In fact, the relationship between these two guys is definitely not good, and it is very likely that they even hate each other.

The reason why they acted like a loving couple was just to maintain their persona.

"You two have such a good relationship." Uncle Maori touched his head and smiled, "I don't know why some people say that you two don't get along. It seems that it's just a rumor."

Except for Ze Yu, no one present, including Conan, could see through the couple's acting skills.

After all, they are well-known actors with superb acting skills. With deliberate acting, it is easy for them to deceive a young detective.

"That's what I mean." Hijikata smiled and put his hand on Yumi's shoulder.

"We should invite the person who spread the rumor to our home and see if the relationship between us is really as fragile as he said." Yongmei also said with a smile.

"That's right." Hijikata continued, "The purpose of a newspaper is to bring joy to everyone, not to publish false information and destroy other people's feelings."

Seeing the couple acting, Ze Yu showed an innocent smile and asked, "Uncle, there is a more than ten-year age difference between you and Auntie. How did you get together in the first place?"

The smile on Ze Yu's face was very pure, real and natural, without any trace of acting.

Although he was indeed acting, no one could see through his perfect acting skills.

When it comes to acting, Ze Yu is the master, and these two young people in their 50s and 30s are just younger brothers and sisters.

"Well..." Hijikata smiled naturally and said, "Of course it's because of love."

"Does love between people with a difference of more than ten years really exist?" Ze Yu blinked curiously.

Hearing this, Conan turned his head and looked at this guy with his crazy acting skills in silence.

Conan complained wildly in his mind.

Xiaoyu, why don't you look at yourself before you say this?
I don’t know if love between people with a difference of more than ten years in age exists, but does love between people with a difference of more than six hundred years really exist?
Conan seemed to be hesitant to speak, and in the end, he said nothing, his face looking a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want to be punished by Ze Yu later because of his quick words.

Ze Yu looked at Conan with some curiosity, not understanding why this guy suddenly looked constipated.

But he didn't care too much about it. He just glanced at it casually and then looked away.

"Love is very sincere." Yongmei said with a smile: "In front of love, age is just a string of insignificant numbers."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You must be tired after traveling all the way here, right?" Hijikata said enthusiastically, "Come on, everyone, please come in. Don't feel restrained and don't despise my small house."

"How could that be? Mr. Hijikata, you are too polite." Uncle Maori smiled and said politely.
