She was about to say something to refute, but Maori Kogoro interrupted their argument with a smile and said in a gentle voice, "Actually, Kazuha is right. Shibuya is as lively as a festival today. If anything, the atmosphere here is not much different from the Tenjin Festival and the Tenkaichi Night Festival."

Hearing what Mori said, a smile instantly broke out on Toyama Kazuha's face. She immediately moved closer to Mori, and relying on Mori's protection, she made a face at Hattori Heiji triumphantly.

Hattori Heiji was extremely furious, but there was nothing he could do but stare at her in helpless fury.

Conan stood aside, witnessing all this, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and couldn't help but sarcastically said to Hattori Heiji: "Haha, Hattori, it seems that your childhood sweetheart is not as good as mine."

When Hattori Heiji heard this, his face darkened and he immediately counterattacked: "Ha! That's better than you, right? Your childhood sweetheart completely ignored you, who's worse off?"

Now it was Conan's turn to look ugly. The two of them mocked each other and neither of them refused to admit defeat.

Conan snorted coldly and continued in a low voice: "Huh, maybe Toyama Kazuha likes Uncle Maori more."

Not to be outdone, Hattori Heiji shot back, "What about Xiaolan? If Uncle Maori wasn't her father, I would really doubt if they were a couple!"

The two men started to argue with each other, but soon they both lowered their heads in dismay.

The reason was simple - the situation before them simply made it impossible for them to fight with each other anymore.

Xiaolan and Toyama Kazuha were on the left and right of Mori, holding his arms affectionately with smiles on their faces. The three of them looked very close and seemed to be enjoying the bustling streets of Shibuya.

Conan and Hattori Heiji could only follow them helplessly like two stray dogs, looking particularly lonely.

The two looked at each other, but they had the same thought in their minds: Why do I feel like I am the redundant one? .

As Maori and his group were strolling around, they arrived at Meiji Jingu Shrine.

Chapter 283 Katagiri Kaede

As they strolled around, Maori and his companions unknowingly arrived at the Meiji Shrine.

The ancient and solemn shrine building stands before your eyes, surrounded by lush green pines and cypresses, giving people a solemn and tranquil feeling.

Hattori Heiji stood in front of the shrine and said with deep emotion: "So this is the Meiji Shrine! I heard that praying for marriage here is very effective!"

He couldn't help but step forward, took out a coin and threw it into the offering box of the shrine, clasped his hands together, and prayed devoutly, "I hope my luck with women will be better."

Seeing this, Conan hurried forward, took out the change and put it in.

He thought to himself that after he became smaller, his popularity with women seemed to have declined.

Although Uncle Maori has been discrediting himself, I always feel that things are not that simple.

Conan clasped his hands together and begged in his heart: "Please, let me be more popular with women, at least I can return to Shinichi's state!"

After the two finished praying, Hattori Heiji turned to look at Toyama Kazuha and Xiaolan and said jokingly, "Why don't you two come and pray? Maybe the gods can bless you to find a good marriage."

Yuanshan Heye shook his head lightly and said nonchalantly: "I don't believe in these things. There is no need to ask God for blessings. I am the master of my own life!"

Xiaolan smiled sweetly and said softly: "I have found my own fairy."

After she finished speaking, her gaze lingered gently on Maoli, with a delicate light flashing in her eyes, but she secretly added in her heart: and my marriage.

Conan secretly glanced at Xiaolan, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

No matter how smart you are, you can't overcome this feeling that cannot be easily expressed.

He sighed and had to suppress his emotions deep in his heart.

Xiaolan is really getting further and further away from me, how hateful!

Who took her heart away? Even with my Detective Conan brain, I can't figure it out!

As Maori and his companions were about to leave Meiji Jingu Shrine, they suddenly noticed a girl with short brown hair and a special blue necklace around her neck. She looked a little lonely, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

(PS: Please vote, will Katagiri Kaede accept it?

Buckle 1

No deduction 2)

She was in front of the shrine, praying devoutly.

Maori's eyes couldn't help but stay on her, and he felt that the girl's expression and temperament were a little unusual.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly appeared next to him. He walked over politely, bowed slightly, and smiled respectfully: "Huh? Aren't you the famous Mr. Maori Kogoro? The savior of Tokyo! The consultant of the Beidou Group?"

Maori was stunned for a moment, looked at the man in front of him in surprise, then nodded and smiled: "Oh? I'm Maori Kogoro. May I ask who you are?"

The middle-aged man introduced himself with a big smile on his face: "I am the butler of the Morizono family, Shigematsu Akio. Today I am here with Miss Feng of our family to pray for blessings."

As he spoke, his eyes occasionally glanced towards the girl.

Hearing the name "Morizono family", Maori was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously glanced at Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji reacted and walked forward quickly, "Ah! Mr. Shigematsu! I'm Hattori Heiji!"

He extended his hand warmly in greeting.

Although Butler Shigematsu exchanged a few words with Hattori, it was obvious that his mind was entirely on Mori.

He turned back and continued with a smile on his face, "Oh, what a coincidence to meet you here. It just so happens that our Morizono family is going to hold a wedding soon. Mr. Maori, would you be so kind as to come and attend?"

Mao Li smiled and scratched his head, "Of course you can... Hattori is going too, so I'll go with him, so I'll have company."

Mr. Shigematsu finally reacted and turned to Hattori Heiji, smiling a little awkwardly: "Ah, yes, Heiji, you are going to attend the wedding too."

Hattori Heiji suppressed his inner helplessness, with dead fish eyes on his face, and replied helplessly: "Ah... Yes, Mr. Shigematsu."

Conan stood aside and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Hattori Heiji's helpless look.

Hattori's expression at this moment was exactly the same as the helplessness he usually felt when he was bullied by Uncle Mori. Suddenly, he felt a sense of gloating.

Toyama Kazuha, who was standing by, quietly took Mori's arm and made a face at Hattori Heiji.

She was in a good mood and seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on Maori, while Hattori sighed helplessly.

"Then let's go to the Moriyuan family later and give some blessings to this wedding."

Mao Li agreed to Shigematsu's invitation, and Shigematsu happily introduced the girl standing in front of the shrine to everyone: "This is Miss Katagiri Kaede who is about to marry our Master Kikuto. This trip to Tokyo is mainly to take her to familiarize herself with the environment."

The girl walked forward politely and said stiffly, "Hello everyone, I'm Katagiri Kaede. I just decided to come out for a walk on a whim. I'm really sorry to bother you all."

She bowed slightly, showing gentle and proper etiquette.

Hattori Heiji was a little surprised and asked, "By the way, why didn't that young master Kikuto come out with you?"

Katagiri Feng smiled and explained, "Actually, I wanted to go to the Tokyo Tower, but Master Kikuto has a severe fear of heights, so it's inconvenient for him to accompany me, so I asked Uncle Shigematsu to accompany me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshan Heye interrupted him dissatisfiedly: "Hey, it's normal for a girl to want to go out and relax alone before getting married. Why are you so talkative!"

She looked at Hattori with disgust.

Xiaolan also nodded and agreed: "Yes, this is the anxiety before marriage, how can you boys understand it."

"Na~"

Yuanshan Heye and Xiaolan smiled at each other and nodded to each other. Suddenly, they seemed to have a telepathic connection and their relationship became closer.

Hattori Heiji scratched his head and asked in confusion: "When did the two of them become so close?"

Conan held his head in his hands, looking helpless: "It's probably because of Uncle Maori."

His eyes glanced at Kogoro Mori who was smiling.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Mao Li walked up and said with a smile: "In this case, leave the arrangements for going to Tokyo Tower to me. I also plan to take Hattori and Kazuha for a walk, so let's go together!"

After hearing this, Katagiri Feng's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly nodded in agreement: "That's great!"

Butler Shigematsu bowed deeply and said gratefully, "Thank you very much for troubling Mr. Mori."

……

Maori led the group to visit the Tokyo Tower. At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was dyed orange.

Seeing this, Butler Shigematsu smiled and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. Why don't you all go to our Morizono family's villa to enjoy dinner and rest there for the night. The wedding will also be held in the villa tomorrow."

Mori and his group readily agreed and followed Shigematsu to the Morizono family's villa.

Chapter 284: Leave the door open for me at night

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the ancient courtyard, adding a touch of mysterious beauty to the villa.

The villa still retains its grandeur and dignity, as if time has never stopped here.

Hattori Heiji looked around with emotion and muttered to himself: "The villa is still exactly the same as when I came here as a child. It hasn't changed at all."

Suddenly, a big tree nearby began to shake violently.

Hattori Heiji's expression tensed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Who is it!?"

He looked towards the big tree vigilantly, only to see a dark shadow suddenly swooping down from the tree.

Everyone was shocked.

Seeing the black shadow approaching rapidly, the next second, Kogoro Maori rushed forward with lightning speed, grabbed the black shadow, and pressed it against the tree.

When everyone looked closely, they found that the black shadow was actually a male butler holding a kitten.

Seeing this, Shigematsu calmed down and could not help but scold: "Sakuraba! Are you trying to scare the guests by doing this? This is so rude!"

Hearing the scolding from Butler Shigematsu, Mori also let go of his hand.

Sakuraba Yuji was a little embarrassed after being put down. He held the kitten in his arms carefully and looked at Maori in panic.

His skills were pretty good, but he had never seen someone with Maori's extraordinary abilities, who could actually subdue him in mid-air.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry,"

Yuji Sakuraba bowed his head and apologized quickly, "Because the master's cat ran away again, so...so I..."

"Meow~!"

The kitten in his arms meowed, soft and cute.

"Wow, so cute!"

Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye were immediately attracted by the cute appearance of the kitten and wanted to go up and take a look.

But just before they got close, the kitten in her arms suddenly struggled, let out a frightened cry, then bit Sakuraba fiercely and quickly ran away.

"Ah...come back soon..."

Yuji Sakuraba stretched out his hand helplessly, wanting to catch the kitten, but he watched it run away. He lowered his head and sighed helplessly. It was obvious that he would have to go to great lengths to find it again.

Without waiting for him to act, Maoli slowly took a step forward, bent down slightly, and grabbed the fleeing kitten by the scruff of the neck with swift movements, lifting it up easily as if he was just picking up an object at random.

After the kitten was caught, its limbs instantly went limp and it lay obediently in Maori's hands, stopping its struggle.

At this time, a woman in a red dress walked over.

She had a curvaceous figure, and the dress made her look even more noble. She had an arrogant smile on her face and her eyes were cold and sharp.

The woman had an attractive appearance, but her attitude was chilling.

She glanced at Katagiri Kaede who was standing beside her, with a hint of contempt in her tone.

"Oh, so you are the fiancée of my good-for-nothing brother?"

She spoke arrogantly, her voice full of contempt, "I don't care which big company's daughter you are from, you'd better be mentally prepared! From today on, I will set the rules for this family!"

"Hi!"

Katagiri Feng was frightened by the harsh and arrogant words. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He looked at the woman timidly, as if facing an insurmountable huge threat.

Just when the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, the woman suddenly laughed, her laughter was hearty and a bit teasing: "Hahaha, I was just kidding you, I'm Kikuto's sister, Morizono Yurie. I'm usually abroad, don't worry, I won't come to bother you, don't worry."

It turns out that this seemingly strict woman is actually a fun-loving, free and open person.

Katagiri Feng was a little stunned by this sudden reversal and still didn't dare to relax completely.

"Miss..."

Seeing this, Butler Shigematsu had no choice but to step forward and want to say something, but was interrupted by Yurijiang.

She waved her hand nonchalantly and continued to tease with a smile: "But you are quite capable. You can win the heart of my brother, a playboy."

Katagiri Feng listened to Yurie's teasing, a faint blush appeared on his face, and he bit his lip without responding.
