Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Conan, who were enjoying some delicious snacks, all showed expressions of surprise when they saw Chen Anxia.
Clearly, they hadn't expected to run into Chen Anxia here, let alone that Chen Anxia and Emperor Sengu would know each other.
Judging from the way they were talking, they seemed to have a good relationship.
Soon, the astonishment and confusion of the crowd were answered by Emperor Mori himself.
Then, Moriko Teiji led Chen Anxia to the center of the garden tea party and solemnly said to the people around him, "Here, allow me to introduce my good friend, who is also my most valued junior."
As he spoke, Teiji Moriko noticed the gathered gazes and continued with a smile, "I believe everyone is familiar with him and knows that he is not only the hottest star right now, but also the modern Sherlock Holmes of the detective world."
"But I believe that most of the people present did not know his other identity."
"This identity is that of the rising star in the architecture world - Truth."
The moment Sengudi finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Many of them don't pay attention to the architectural world and don't know the name of truth, such as Kogoro Mouri and his daughter Ran Mouri.
However, some people have heard of the name of Truth and know about its achievements, and they cannot help but feel shocked and amazed, and they exclaim in surprise.
"Could it be that 'True' is the same 'True' who broke the record in the island nation's architecture world and was nominated for the Island Nation Architecture Association's Newcomer Award at the age of 16?"
“I heard that Mari was originally going to win the newcomer award that year, but because the Island Nation Architectural Association couldn’t contact her, it was ultimately dropped.”
“I’m not in the architecture field, but I’ve heard that Truth is a mysterious entity whose name is known but whose person is never seen.”
“I remember now, there was a storm in the Japanese architectural community more than a year ago. The source of this storm seemed to be that someone revealed the true identity of Truth as Chen Anxia.”
“I remember now. I saw similar news before, but I thought it was just a coincidence of names and never thought of the big star Chen Anxia.”
"Same name? Hmm, you're really something. The name Chen Anxia is very rare in Japan, how could it be the same as someone else's?"
......
On the other side, Conan's face also showed shock after hearing Moriko Teiji's words, and he said in disbelief, "Truth? Anxia is actually Truth!?"
At this moment, Pandora's box belonging to Chen Anxia was opened a crack once again.

Kogoro Mouri heard Conan's incredulous voice.
This made Kogoro Mouri look at Conan with curiosity and ask, "Hey kid, judging from your expression, do you think you know the truth?"
Conan was still in shock and hadn't quite come to his senses.
Therefore, upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Conan replied without much thought, "Ah, I know something about Truth."
Before Kogoro Mouri could ask any questions, Conan said to himself, "I remember it was about two years ago, and that should have been the first time the name 'Truth' appeared in the architectural world."
"And when it first appeared, the truth caused a sensation."
"That is the renovation design of the Yodogawa Library in Osaka."
"Yodogawa Library is a private library with a long history, but due to the old building and the rapid development of internet technology, Yodogawa Library has gradually declined."
"Just when everyone thought the Yodogawa Library would close down, someone suddenly took over the Yodogawa Library and began to renovate it."
"Originally, this matter was not very popular and no one paid much attention to it, but I don't know when it started, but in the Osaka travel guide, a new attraction has been added as a must-visit spot."
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be..."
Conan knew what Ran Mouri was going to say, and nodded slightly in response, "That's right, the must-visit attraction is the Yodogawa Library."
"The renovated Yodogawa Library, with its unique architectural style and its pleasing and comfortable interior structure and facilities, suddenly became a hit on the Internet."
"After the Yodogawa Library became a hit, someone discovered that the architect who renovated and designed the Yodogawa Library was an architect codenamed Truth."
"This was just the beginning. After that, Mari took on the task of renovating some old buildings and even participated in the restoration of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto."
"The old buildings that have been transformed by the truth have also become popular spots for pedestrians and tourists to take photos."
"That's why the Island Nation Architects Association wanted to award that year's Newcomer Award to Mari."
"I never imagined that the truth would be revealed by Anxia..."
After speaking, Conan suddenly came to his senses and noticed the surprised and suspicious looks from Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri beside him.
Conan also knew that the knowledge he was talking about was far beyond his current level.
Fortunately, Conan has become more and more accustomed to his new identity and has started acting without any burden. He pretends to be innocent and cute, saying, "My parents took me there last year. They told me all this."
Upon hearing Conan's words, both Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri showed expressions of sudden realization, and neither of them gave it much thought.
During this, Ran Mouri gently patted Conan's head and said seriously, "Conan, you just called Anxia by her name, which is very impolite. You should call her Anxia-nii-san, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Conan feigned obedience and replied, "I heard you."
In his mind, Conan was thinking, "Anxia-nii? He's clearly not even older than me..."
As for Kogoro Mouri, although he was very unhappy with Chen Anxia because of Yoko Okino, he couldn't help but marvel at Chen Anxia's talent at this moment, saying, "This kid is really amazing."
On the other side, Chen Anxia, who was exchanging pleasantries with Moriko Teiji, suddenly heard Watson's voice in her ear, "Anxia, Conan and Ran have arrived too."
Chen Anxia was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked in the direction of the voice.
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, they spotted Conan, Ran Mouri, and Kogoro Mouri.
Chen Anxia really didn't expect that the three of them would also attend this garden tea party.
Teiji Moriko also noticed this scene. Looking at Conan and the other two, he frowned slightly at first, then regained his composure and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you know them?"
Upon hearing Moriko Teiji's words, Chen Anxia nodded and replied, "That girl named Ran Mouri is my high school classmate and also my good friend."
With that, Chen Anxia apologized to Moriko Teiji and walked towards Conan and the other two.
Meanwhile, Teiji Moriko watched Chen Anxia's retreating figure, murmuring softly, "She's actually your good friend..."
As he spoke, Teiji Moriko turned his gaze to Ran Mouri, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and the scene from not long ago resurfaced in his mind.
Before Chen Anxia arrived, Moriko Teiji had held a riddle game, and those who guessed the riddle correctly could visit Moriko Teiji's exhibition room.
The exhibition room of Teiji Moriko displays his works from his debut to the present.
During the visit, Teiji Moriko learned that Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo were childhood friends, and that Ran Mouri had invited Shinichi Kudo to a midnight movie this Sunday to celebrate his birthday.
Therefore, Teiji Moriko decided to prepare a special birthday gift for Shinichi Kudo, who was absent today.
This special birthday gift is naturally related to Ran Mouri.
However, Moriko Teiji did not expect that Chen Anxia would know Ran Mouri and be good friends with her.
This fact caused Moriko Teiji to struggle for a moment.
However, Teiji Moriko's resentment towards Shinichi Kudo led him to quickly make a decision: to stick to the original plan and continue preparing a special birthday gift for Shinichi Kudo.
The reason why Teiji Moriko harbors resentment towards Shinichi Kudo is...
This is because Teiji Moriya once served as the chief designer of the new town of Nishitama.
However, after the former mayor of Nishitama City, Okamoto, was arrested and removed from office by Shinichi Kudo, the subsequent mayor rejected the design proposal and reconsidered it, causing Teiji Moriya's long-prepared design to be shelved.
This also cast a shadow over Teiji Moriya's smooth-sailing life as an architect.
It was from that time onward that Teiji Moriko harbored resentment towards Shinichi Kudo.
The reason for inviting Shinichi Kudo this time is that Teiji Moriko is preparing to vent his resentment.
Therefore, it is necessary to invite Shinichi Kudo and make some preparations in advance.
However, Teiji Moriko did not expect that Shinichi Kudo would not only not come, but would also send someone else in his place.
Of course, Teiji Moriko never expected that among those who replaced Shinichi Kudo, there would be Ran Mouri, such a perfect vessel for revenge.
Teiji Moriko believed that Shinichi Kudo would definitely 'like' the special gift he had prepared and would never forget it...
The premise is that Shinichi Kudo survives...
As for Chen Anxia, Sengoku Teiji could only apologize to his friend.

Moriko Teiji's villa garden.
Under Mori Teiji's gaze, Chen Anxia walked up to Ran Mouri and asked curiously, "Ran, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's question, before Ran Mouri could even speak, Kogoro Mouri said somewhat displeasedly, "Why can't we be here?"
"With my famous identity as 'Sleeping Kogoro,' isn't it perfectly normal for us to be here?"
Conan, standing nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, thinking to himself, 'This uncle really has no self-awareness.'
Seeing this, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and said, "Detective Mouri, although you are now very famous, based on my understanding of Professor Mori, he probably won't invite you."
"And haven't you noticed how out of place your profession and identity are at this garden tea party?"
Kogoro Mouri was taken aback by what he heard and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing this, Chen Anxia gestured to Kogoro Mouri to look at the people attending the garden tea party and said.
“Take a closer look. The people attending this garden tea party are either big stars, elites from the political or business world, or people from the architecture industry.”
"Consider your identity and profession again, don't you feel out of place?"
After Chen Anxia's reminder, Kogoro Mouri was also taken aback and felt something was off. He muttered to himself, "Yeah, that's strange. Why would Professor Moriko invite that brat Kudo?"
Chen Anxia was slightly taken aback when she heard Kogoro Mouri's murmur, and asked with some surprise, "Detective Mouri, are you saying that Professor Moriko actually invited Kudo?"
This time, before Kogoro Mouri could speak, Ran Mouri told Chen Anxia the whole story.
After listening to Ran Mouri's words, Chen Anxia couldn't help but frown slightly, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Not only Ran Mouri, but even Conan frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
Conan still remembers the invitation letter that Teiji Moriko wrote to him, which read like this.
'I apologize for this abrupt invitation to write you this letter.'
