Akutsu Naru shook his head subconsciously, not understanding, but said, "Sorry, I really like this artwork."
"A protective talisman plus a chance to get your house feng shui'd." Yu Quan said directly.
Akutsu Naru was indeed short of money, but if it was only money, it wouldn't have been able to completely move him.
Otherwise, Akutsu Naru wouldn't be here now...
"Protective talisman?" Akutsu Naru subconsciously took the business card Yu Quan handed him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You're the owner of the Qiyuan Exorcism Agency?"
Akutsu Naru's current financial situation was indeed uncertain, and therefore -
Although he had heard of Yu Quan's name, he was truly hard up and didn't have the qualifications to invite him.
"Good!" Akutsu Naru gritted his teeth and agreed, the artwork was important, but his life was more important!
"There is one condition, the talisman must be able to withstand the attack of the Split-Mouth Woman."
"Don't worry, my products are only top-notch." Yu Quan nodded, directly handing a talisman to Akutsu Naru.
"As for the Feng Shui problem... just call to make an appointment when you have time."
"Okay, I'll immediately redeem the items with Ms. Marui Neko after the case is over." Akutsu Naru nodded without hesitation.
While the two were talking, the "jigsaw puzzle" on Mori Kogoro's side was also completed.
Although the scratches on the cabinet were still messy, they did have a sense of being connected.
The most crucial point was that in the center of the entire cabinet, ignoring the messy lines around it, you could vaguely see two large characters -
"Suwa?" Mori Kogoro suddenly turned to Suwa Yuji.
Suwa Yuji was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh and confessed...
"That's right, I killed that damn Marui Chuanjiro!" Suwa Yuji gritted his teeth.
"That guy... actually sold my family heirloom sword before the collateral matured, and even said it was my honor that the sword could be sold for such a high price!"
Yu Quan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If the sword was still there, maybe... it would have had energy, like Akutsu Naru's dragon sculpture.
Unfortunately, the item was gone, and there was no way to judge it.
...
A few days later, on the streets of Mita Town, Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko just shook off a guy enthusiastically inviting them to a Valentine's Day party.
"Sonoko, why did you agree to attend the Valentine's Day party with Wakamatsu Junmatsu?" Mouri Ran looked at Suzuki Sonoko helplessly.
"Of course because... I want to find a chance to invite the boy I like out to play!" Suzuki Sonoko said with a face full of anticipation, her hands cupped under her chin.
"The... the person you like?" Mouri Ran couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Yeah, ever since I saw him at home last time, my heart has irrevocably fallen for him." Suzuki Sonoko said with shining eyes.
"He really is... a very secure person!"
"Son... Sonoko, how come I've never heard you mention this." Mouri Ran said hesitantly.
As Suzuki Sonoko's best friend, Mouri Ran was well aware of Suzuki Sonoko's infatuations, of course -
Suzuki Sonoko always just talked about it, this time it felt a little different...
"Ahem," Suzuki Sonoko coughed shyly, embarrassed: "Actually, it was only two days ago."
"Didn't there be a Split-Mouth Woman in Mita Town before, because you told me that the Split-Mouth Woman was real, so my dad hired an exorcist to come home..."
"Although that exorcist is very young, he is really handsome, and the most important thing is, he's very secure!"
"Ex... Exorcist?" Mouri Ran felt that the exorcist Suzuki Sonoko mentioned sounded a little familiar.
"Yeah, his agency is right here!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded and looked up directly.
Mouri Ran realized that they had unknowingly returned to the vicinity of the Mouri Detective Agency.
And the boy Suzuki Sonoko liked... was indeed Yu Quan!
"It's Yu Quan." Mouri Ran said, not unexpectedly.
"Yeah." Suzuki Sonoko smiled and nodded: "It's the exorcist you told me about, really coincidental huh."
Speaking of which, Suzuki Sonoko playfully patted Mouri Ran's shoulder: "Ran, Yu Quan really gives off a sense of security, doesn't he?"
"Yes... yeah." Mouri Ran was inexplicably a little embarrassed, but Yu Quan's abilities were really strong.
"Hee hee hee, it looks like our Ran also likes Yu Quan's type." Suzuki Sonoko subconsciously showed a lewd smile.
Immediately, she directly said something wolfish: "Two women sharing one man... if it's with Ran, I wouldn't mind!"
"Sonoko, what are you talking about!" Mouri Ran couldn't help but stamp her feet, her face red as if it were about to burn.
"Hahahaha." Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but show the same kind of smile as Mori Kogoro.
Then, she directly dragged Mouri Ran towards the Qiyuan Exorcism Agency: "Come on, let's go invite Yu Quan to the Valentine's Day party!"
Mouri Ran's strength was actually much greater than Suzuki Sonoko's, but for some reason, her hands and feet felt weak, and she didn't struggle...
