——Incompetent detective Mr. Mouri Kogoro, on the night of the full moon this month, please allow me to invite you to participate in this terrifying night banquet. It's going to be a bloody boat party. Of course, whether you are present or not, the poor lamb who is about to die will curse his fate. The sinner will also become extremely drunk before he dies.
As Mao Lilan read the entire invitation letter, Mao Li Kogoro put down his wine glass, and the anger in his heart diluted his drunkenness. Laughing in anger is the best portrayal of him at this time.
"What kind of invitation is this? It's basically a challenge to me, a famous detective. Who sent this?"
"It seems to be a foreigner." Mao Lilan looked at the envelope and said slightly awkwardly: "Vermouth. Fomos."
Mauli ran through the name in his mind and found that he had no memory of it. He looked at Lu Ren and asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Ren asked for the invitation letter from Mao Lilan, glanced at it twice, and replied: "The person who wrote this invitation letter needs to improve his writing skills. This line of writing is half-written, and it is completely third-rate and weird. Writing method.”
"Um." Maoli was stunned for a long time, and then said helplessly: "I'm talking about what you think of the intention of the person who sent the invitation, not his writing skills."
"My opinion is the same as yours, brother."
"Well." Maoli glanced at the invitation next to Lu Ren's leg, "Why don't you take a look at what's written in your invitation."
"No need." Lu Ren pointed to the signature on the envelope, "They are all from that person, and the contents are probably the same."
Lu Ren didn't want to open his invitation letter in front of Maori and his daughter. Because he didn't know exactly what Belmod had written in it.
This guy Belmode carelessly printed his wine name, Vermouth, on the envelope. If you open it, the beginning of his invitation letter is 'Dear Glen Fiddich/Glenfiddich. '
That's not finished.
"Okay." Mao Li was a little disappointed, but he didn't insist anymore. He raised his glass and said, "Come on, keep drinking!"
Lu Ren clinked glasses with him.
Mao Lilan continued to flip through the envelope, and then she found that there was an invitation letter in the envelope with very normal wording. The general idea is to invite Maori to attend the Halloween party. With the invitation letter, I can bring one or two companions to participate. Everyone needs to make up as monsters and wear black suits or black dresses. The time and place of the party are also indicated.
Compared to the previous 'challenge letter', this invitation letter is undoubtedly much more normal.
"You can also take someone with you." Mao Li looked at his girl, "Lan, are you going?"
"No." Mao Lilan simply refused. She paused for a moment and added: "Yuanzi may be interested in this party. I'll call her and ask her."
The development of the matter was no surprise. It was such a fun thing to hear. Yuanzi agreed immediately, and not only that, she also volunteered to take on the job of makeup artist.
A quarter of an hour later, Sonoko arrived at the Mori Office carrying a lot of equipment. She half pushed and half pushed Mao Li from the table to the sofa, and began to put makeup on Mao Li.
Lu Ren was not upset when he saw that he was spared from the banquet. He stood up and walked to Mao Lilan, looking at the scenery outside the window with her. "Why haven't you seen Conan? I remember he came back yesterday."
"Yeah, but he left again today. He said he wanted to take care of Xiao Ai."
Lu Ren was speechless.
"Brother Ren, will you go to that party?"
"It depends on the situation. If I don't have anything else to do, I will go there. If I have something else, I won't go."
"Um."
After a while, Mao Lilan broke the silence, "Tell me, will Shinichi also receive this invitation letter?"
"It's possible. Just call the doctor and ask him to check the Kudo family's mailbox."
"Well." Mao Lilan took out her mobile phone, but did not dial immediately. She seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Lu Ren, "By the way, Brother Ren, don't talk to Conan about the Halloween party. Otherwise, He will definitely crawl around in dangerous places.”
"Um."
Seeing Lu Ren's promise, Mao Lilan made the call with confidence.
Lu Ren was not prepared to listen to the content of the phone call. He walked back to the living room and watched Yuanzi's makeup skills.
I have to say that Yuanzi's makeup skills are quite remarkable. Not only is her transformation lifelike, but she's also very fast. As soon as I pick up the pen, it's like I don't have to write a manuscript at all.
If nothing else, she had no problem applying for a makeup artist job at a special photography company based on this skill alone. It’s OK to switch jobs and put makeup on monsters.
It's just that the progress of applying makeup to Maori is very slow.
Lu Ren felt that this was not Sonoko's problem, but Mouri Kogoro's own problem.
Perhaps because he was drunk a little too much, Mao Li transformed into an unscrupulous party, and passed through the makeup done by one garden after another.
Not only did he pass, he also made a bunch of requests.
To summarize, there are two points.
1. The less human-like you want to be, the better.
2. The more human-like you want to be, the better.
To put it simply, in addition to taking into account Mori's own handsomeness, it also needs to reflect the unique evil feeling of monsters.
These words were so shameless that even Lu Ren, who was watching, couldn't stand it. He waved to the garden, indicating that he should stop what he was doing.
The two of them walked a little further away, and Lu Ren gave some gentle instructions to Yuanzi. She suddenly realized: "Oh - I understand."
After a while, Sonoko transformed into Maori again.
A vampire with pointy ears and fangs. But unlike ordinary vampires who have pale or even pale skin, Maori's skin is dark brown. A non-mainstream vampire.
Sonoko handed Maori a mirror and said, "How do you like it? This is a masterpiece that I tried my best to create."
Mao Li looked left and right in the dressing mirror, "But I always feel that this state is no different from my original appearance."
"You have to be more conservative with your makeup." Yuanzi muttered, "If you put on too much makeup, it will be inconspicuous."
At this time, Mao Lilan just finished her phone call and came over. She echoed: "I think this makeup suits you very well, dad. Doesn't it just bring out your handsomeness?"
"It makes sense." Mao Li suddenly became elated and began to look at the mirror.
Seeing that Maoli was really taken care of, Yuanzi smiled and made a planning gesture to Lu Ren and Lan.
"By the way Sonoko, what kind of makeup are you going to wear then?"
"I'm going to wear super mini and super cute clothes and charm those monsters."
Regardless of the nature of the party, Yuanzi can turn it into a social party. I have to say that this is also a talent.
"Maybe I can meet a cool monster there!"
"How could there be any handsome monster?" Maoli began to pour cold water on him.
"Why is it impossible? Uncle, don't you still want to meet some vampires with great figures at the party." Yuanzi replied and looked at Lu Ren, "Brother Ren, are you going to the party too? I'll give it to you Put on some makeup.”
Lu Ren: "No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
…
After leaving the office, Lu Ren walked toward the newspaper office. He was going there to get the invitation letter for Koizumi Hongzi.
It sounds sloppy. If he had remembered the invitation letter in advance and could bring extra people there, there would be no need to call Ichihara Sensai.
But I have already agreed to it, so it doesn’t matter. It’s nothing more than walking a few more steps.
And depending on Koizumi Hongzi's arrogant temperament, she might not accept sharing an invitation with anyone else.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Ren got the invitation letter at the door of the newspaper office, which Sentonshi handed to him. The tool man, Ichihara Sensai, was very busy and had no time to come over in person.
Lu Ren didn't care. He took the invitation and looked up at the second floor of the newspaper office. The lights were on there early.
"Is Bei Dao still working?"
"The editor-in-chief leaves very late every day."
"As soon as you get up, go up and pass a message to me. Just say, 'Go to bed early. Don't work too late.' Well, I won't go up."
"yes."
ps: The fever reached 39 last night. Everyone was confused. I woke up feeling better this morning. Try coding one chapter.
