The rest of the Oga family ignored the groom and went straight to the bride's side. Oga's uncle smiled and said to Katori Akane: "Today I will temporarily act as the officiant of the bride's wedding. Do you mind?"
How can the fiancée say she doesn't mind: "Then I'll trouble you... eh?"
The lights suddenly went out, and the windowless room fell into darkness.
Suzuki Sonoko was startled and squeezed between Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan, worried that something would happen in the dark that good citizens should not see.
Curacao and Maya Hashimoto were also alert for a moment. They both retreated to the open space they had observed long ago, and then bumped into someone.
Maya Hashimoto: "!" Why is there anyone here?!
Curacao: "!" Enemy attack!
The two organization members instinctively fought each other in the dark.
Jiang Xia felt the entanglement of two murderous auras: "...?"
What are you two doing in public?
So he moved over there, picked up a few wisps of murderous aura, and joined in.
The sudden dimness caused everyone to fall into confusion for a short time, but after all, it was daytime and it was not completely dark here. Soon they adapted to the dimmed light and began to be able to see the surrounding scene clearly.
Conan is short, and his perspective is always different from others. He said "ah" and pointed to a disc at Uncle Dahe's feet: "This is a foot-operated light switch. Is it because you stepped on this, uncle?"
"
As he said that, he stepped on it.
Seeing this scene, Curaçao shrank silently: This kid is really brave, isn't he afraid that someone will tamper with it and be electrocuted to death if he steps on it?
But elementary school students can’t think so much.
And Uzo seemed to really appreciate this little kid, and he probably wouldn't let anyone die so hastily.
Sure enough, Conan stepped on the switch and survived successfully.
The bright vertical lights were turned on silently, illuminating the surroundings. Everything seemed to be the same as before the power outage, except that the positions of everyone had changed.
The dark-skinned man entered the door, walked to the dressing table, and suddenly fixed his eyes on a standing photo frame: "The people in this photo...are your parents?"
Katori Akane came back to her senses, nodded, and looked at the photo of a family of three that she brought specially today. In the photo, she was just a student wearing a high school uniform: "I want them to witness my wedding."
The Dahe family members were silent for a moment. Grandma Dahe didn't seem to want to stay here any longer, so she turned to leave.
But just after taking two steps, she suddenly covered her heart and squatted on the ground with a groan in pain.
Curacao: "..." What happened?
Maya Hashimoto: "..." Why is it squatting instead of falling? And the timing is wrong. I always feel that this section should have happened in the darkness just now...
He thought for a while, and suddenly realized that he was thinking completely according to Uzo's model. He even started to criticize Uzo's script.
Maya Hashimoto held her head in pain.
His behavior was a bit strange. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to him at this time. The whole group was paying attention to the old lady who suddenly knelt down.
Mao Lilan took out her cell phone and pressed 110. After thinking about it, she felt it was inappropriate, so she quietly deleted two numbers and changed them to ambulance.
Grandma Dahe didn't know what this sweet and cute high school student was secretly doing just now. She forced herself to wave her hand: "It's okay, I just have a little heart palpitations. I just need to rest for a while."
After saying that, she stood up and went outside surrounded by a group of people from the Dahe family.
Only the bride and a group of awkward guests were left in the lounge.
At this moment, Mao Lilan discovered something: "That..."
She pointed to the ring box on the dressing table: "I remember that the heirloom ring was still in it just now. Why now... Miss Katori, have you put it on?"
"No." Katori Akane glanced over there, realized something belatedly, and stood up, "The ring is missing?!"
Jiang Xia walked over and took a look: "The piece of paper under the ring box didn't seem to be there just now."
This process was so familiar that Conan blurted out: "Is it Kidd's theft letter?!"
Jiang Xia put on her gloves, picked it up and took a look, and found that it was a photo of a single person. The person on it was none other than the bride Akane Katori, and the background behind her was a bed of flowers.
Katori Akane saw this photo and immediately remembered: "This, this was taken by Shinya for me when Shinya and I came here to reserve a wedding venue in June this year."
This is undoubtedly a photo with some commemorative significance, but now, Katori Akane can no longer care about those beautiful memories.
She looked helpless: "That ruby ring is an heirloom passed down from the ancestors of the Dahe family. If it is lost in my hand...how should I explain it to everyone?"
"It's none of your business, you didn't steal it! And you're not responsible for the security here."
Suzuki Sonoko waved her little hand: "It's just one or two rings. I remember last night, they said that this ring was bought by the ancestors of the Oga family when they went to Europe at sea - think about how many things can be packed into a large cargo ship.
How could it be that this is the only ring they brought back? Maybe they bought it in boxes. There are hundreds of heirlooms in the warehouse. If you lose this one, why don't you just replace it with another one and pass it on?"
She thought this was nothing at all, but not everyone dared to play games with the Phantom Thieves with family heirlooms like the Suzuki family. Katori Akane still had a look of despair on her face, so everyone had to go around to help her find it.
But I searched the entire bridal waiting room and couldn't find it.
Seeing that the wedding was about to begin, Akane Katori had no choice but to go to the Oga family and confess the matter.
"Lost the ring?!"
Grandma Dahe was furious.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said: "In this case, stop the wedding immediately."
The groom heard these words as soon as he entered the room. He almost jumped up and hit the door frame in shock: "What did you say?!"
"The family heirloom ring was lost by your fiancée." Grandma Dahe snorted coldly and glanced at her disappointed grandson. "You can't even think of marrying him until you find that ring."
The groom found it difficult to understand: "Without that one, can't we just wear another one to get married? Our family doesn't only have one ring. I remember there is a whole display cabinet in the warehouse with several boxes in it!"
Jiang Xia: "..." Suzuki Sonoko was actually right?
Xun Zhengmaru: "..." The brain circuits of these second-generation real rich people are quite similar. It seems that he also needs to study more... No, you can't think like this. He is obviously a second-generation real rich man too!
What's wrong with not being related by blood to the head of the family? Anyway, no matter what his real father's name was, he changed his name to Xun after his mother married the head of the Xun family. In this case, he is also a legitimate second generation rich man.
Alas, I really hope I can go back and take over as the head of the family soon. Stay away from this incident-ridden detective.
