MTL - I Really Don’t Want To Inherit the Winery-Chapter 9
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and Toru Amuro gave Conan a meaningful look, and then looked at Toru Kurosawa, who was enjoying the meal with the same expression.
"Ah yes, Brother Kurosawa, who was the man in black with you that day? He looks so scary."
In order to prevent the two from thinking too much, Conan quickly changed the subject. He even made a terrified expression.
Toru Kurosawa laughed, it seemed that the child was really frightened by the grass wall that day.
"That one, it's my friend in Japan. Don't look at his fierce looks, but he's actually a nice guy."
The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, if he was a real child, he might believe it. But he already knew that the other party was from the Fengji Consortium, and the predecessor of the Fengji Consortium was badly formed. how is this possible?
But when Kurosawa Toru said this, it would be difficult for him to continue asking. Otherwise, there is no way to explain how he, a first-year elementary school student, would be familiar with the Fengji Foundation in Hesheng Town.
Conan glanced at Toru Amuro, Mr. Amuro should be suspicious.
Amuro was indeed suspicious. He lowered his eyes and thought about the fierce man in black clothes that Conan was talking about. Conan, a child, deliberately used this description, and the other party was definitely not an ordinary person in black clothes. Is it...
Kurosawa left Poirot without staying long after finishing his meal.
After he left, Toru Amuro asked, "Conan, the man in black you said..."
Conan returned to his usual calm and normal expression and nodded. "Ah, it's a man in a black suit with a ferocious nose. I suspect that he is from the Fengji Consortium. When he was with Mr. Kurosawa that day, he was very respectful to Mr. Kurosawa, so..."
Amuro was taken aback, Fengji Consortium.
"Mr. Amuro, Mr. Kurosawa, will he be a member of the organization?" Conan frowned.
Amuro touched his chin and said, "To be honest, when you say the man in black, I thought it was someone from the organization. However, I don't feel that way about Mr. Kurosawa. So the possibility that he is an organization member is very low. ."
Conan bowed his head in thought.
And Kurosawa Toru, who returned to the hotel, thought of today's scene and showed a playful smile.
When I saw that kid that day, I felt something was wrong with him. When I saw him today, it really was a problem.
Before he stepped into Polo, that kid should be talking to Amuro about the tracking, just a first-year elementary school student. Moreover, the name Edogawa Conan sounds like a pseudonym.
That's interesting, why don't you investigate this kid?
"Meow—" Grillo called to the bedside table, and Toru Kurosawa turned his head to see the vibrating mobile phone.
"Hey, Kishimoto."
A week later, Kishimoto called again to tell him that a suitable house had been found.
Ask him when he is free to come and see the house, and if he is satisfied, he can buy it directly. The other party seems to be going abroad, and some are in a hurry to make a move.
Toru Kurosawa immediately forgot about Conan, asked for the address, and planned to visit tomorrow.
"26, Mikancho 2-chome, is this place?"
"Meow-"
According to the address given by Kishimoto, Toru Kurosawa brought Grillo over the next morning.
When he arrived, Kishimoto was already at the door, and he hurriedly saluted when he saw him coming. "Mr. Kurosawa. I've got the key and can go in now."
"Hmm..." Kurosawa nodded. He looked at the house in front of him.
It is a very ordinary iron gate, probably because it is going to be sold, the house number has been taken off.
This is a very Japanese-style villa. The entrance is a smooth stone-paved path. There are flower beds on one side of the road and a small pool under a cherry tree on the other side. The gravel road was not straight, but curved to the door.
In terms of appearance, the room on the side of the cherry tree has a lot of steps and floor-to-ceiling windows, and the other side has normal walls and windows. On the second floor, there is a large terrace with railings. The whole house has a wood-colored exterior.
Although it looks like an old house on the outside, the interior facilities are quite modern.
Kurosawa looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's it. Kishimoto, go through the formalities as soon as possible." As for the price, it was completely out of Kurosawa Toru's consideration. He was not short of money anyway, and he still had the money to buy the house.
Kishimoto nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Before Kurosawa Toru came, he had been a little uneasy. It took so long to find this house. If Kurosawa Toru was not satisfied, he might continue to look for it. It will also appear that he has a problem with his ability to do things.
"Mr. Kurosawa, the owner of this household has an additional request." Kishimoto carefully glanced at his expression and said.
"Oh? Come and listen?"
"He hopes to retain the appearance of the courtyard." Kishimoto said. "He has lived in this house for many years, and he left it from his grandfather's time. Now the whole family has to immigrate to a foreign country before they want to sell it. Although I know this request is a bit rude, I still want it. Mr. Kurosawa, do you see?"
"I see." Kurosawa Toru nodded, this is not a big problem. "Tell him this request and I agree. After all, I like the style of this yard. I'm too lazy to change it."
"Yes..." Kishimoto responded. "I will complete the formalities as soon as possible so that you can move in as soon as possible. Do you need me to help you arrange a moving company?"
"This is not necessary." Kurosawa Toru had already thought of a way. "After you go through the house procedures, just buy some common items and put them inside. I'll send you the list of items later."
"Hi. I see."
After seeing the house, Kurosawa left with Grillo.
"How about it, Grillo, do you like this house too?" Kurosawa Toru laughed while walking and teasing the little black cat on his shoulders.
Grillo was very excited when he just looked at the house. At first glance, he was eager to run around in the big house.
"Meow-"
"Lan! Look! Handsome guy! And that black kitten, so cute!"
A squeaking sound caught Kurosawa Toru's attention, and when he looked up, he saw three girls in the same uniform approaching not far away.
The one with medium brown hair that caught his attention, wearing a headband, was pointing his finger in his direction. Seeing him look very excited.
The one she called Lan was a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassedly at him. "Yuanzi, it's too rude to be discovered by others!"
And another...
Toru Kurosawa met the somewhat surprised dark green eyes, and said to himself: What a coincidence, it was the one I met at the hotel that day.
The other party obviously recognized him, and seeing that he had already seen the three of them, he simply said hello. "See you again, this gentleman."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Shiliang Zhenchun in surprise, "Shiliang-sang, you know this handsome guy, ah no, you know this gentleman?"
Shiliang Zhenchun shook his head and nodded again, "I can't talk about acquaintance, I met once, in the hotel where I stayed. This gentleman happened to be staying in that hotel."
"Hello..." Since the other party greeted him, Toru Kurosawa naturally wouldn't ignore it.
Touching Grillo, who was a little fried, he simply stepped forward. "What a coincidence, we met again. Do you live here?"
"Ah no..." The girl named Lan shook her head, blushing a little. "Something is coming here."
Suzuki Sonoko slapped her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I want to help her husband Kudo clean the house, right, Mrs. Kudo."
"Sonoko! Stop talking nonsense!" The girl blushed even more, and hurriedly stopped her friend.
"I'm Shiliang Zhenchun, and here are Suzuki Sonoko and Maurilan. I don't know what your name is, sir?"
Shiliang had a good impression of Toru Kurosawa who had helped press the elevator once, and took the initiative to introduce it.
"I'm Kurosawa, Toru Kurosawa." Toru Kurosawa looked at the girls' interaction with some amusing.
"So you are Mr. Kurosawa!" The three said in unison. Then he said: "So the full name is Toru Kurosawa!"
Toru Kurosawa was a little surprised, "Have you heard of me?"
Shi Liang said innocently: "Because the Lan family is the Maori detective agency, we heard about you, Mr. Kurosawa, from Enomoto-san and Amuro-san. In fact, I was quite curious about you, but I didn't expect to meet you today. "
Suzuki Sonoko whispered from the side: "Sure enough, Miss Enomoto didn't lie! Mr. Kurosawa is really handsome! Ouch!"
Kurosawa suddenly realized. No wonder, he said that the surname Maori was somewhat familiar.
"It seems that you are also Poirot's regulars." Hesawa Toru said with a smile, "You should have something else to do, I won't bother you, see you Poirot another day."
Toru Kurosawa blinked at the three of them, "I'll give you a free bill."

Regarding the male protagonist's name, this is the first time that the protagonist's related personnel know the full name.
The other day, Little Cutie mentioned that the pronunciation of Toru and Toru are the same. I checked again and found that Toru has another pronunciation. When it is traditional Toru, the pronunciation is tetsu, so I decided that it is this! I don't know if it will work, so let's do it for now. In order to separate from Toru Amuro.
In short, the default pronunciation of the protagonist's name is different from that of Toru Amuro.
Damn, I don't know much about Japanese names, so I didn't pay attention when naming them. Sorry everyone-
