Opposite me, Hota Koichi's wife shouted: "Ryoji, you are so rude!"
"Isn't polite? Hehe, I'm just making a reasonable guess." Hota Ryoji didn't give his sister-in-law any face, "Don't think I don't know - my eldest brother is doing mischief in the overseas market, and our entire consortium is implicated. In order to punish him, my father
In anger, he removed his qualifications as a director and sent him to the branch. Do you think the eldest brother will hold a grudge for this?"
Hota Koichi broke into a cold sweat when the old incident was brought up again, and he immediately snorted: "Nonsense! My father punished me because he loved me, and he sent me to the branch just to give me more experience - but you!"
I heard that your kid is addicted to gambling and is burdened with debts. You must have tampered with your father’s car and wanted to inherit the inheritance as soon as possible..."
"Shut up, everyone!"
The angry President Hotta stood up suddenly, yanked the tablecloth, and threw away the entire table of rice.
Akai Shuichi, who hasn't finished eating yet: "..."
At this time, a voice came from the door.
A woman played with the sunglasses in her hand, leaned against the door frame and said, "You two still 'love each other' as before."
"?!"
Several people in the room looked up, and the eldest son and the eldest son screamed at the same time: "Sister? Why did you come back suddenly?...Wait, why did you bring so many people? Today is my father's birthday after all.
Yan, if there is any disagreement between you, let’s discuss it later.”
"Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart." Hota Fumiko pointed to Jiang Xia and the others next to them, "I'm not here to cause trouble. These are the guests I invited. Thanks to them..."
Before he could finish speaking, President Hota glared at his daughter and said angrily: "Who allowed you to step into this house?"
"?" Hota Fumiko was stunned, and then became angry, "You didn't send me an invitation, saying that you are old and in poor health, and you want to invite me home for a reunion - why, I just came back
The floor hasn't even warmed up yet, and you're starting to put on a show again?"
"Nonsense." President Hotta snorted coldly, "When we severed the relationship between father and daughter five years ago, I no longer had a daughter - I don't want to see your face at all, and with those guys next to you,
Get out of here right now!"
Hota Fumiko: "You?!"
…
A birthday party ended so unhappy.
The housekeeper sighed and cleaned up the mess, while President Hotta and his three children slammed the door and left, going back to their rooms to get angry.
Several guests were left on the spot.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan first looked at the Hotta family who were walking away, and then turned back to look at Akai Shuichi who was still sitting in the restaurant.
"Is it him?" Suzuki Atom poked Mao Lilan and whispered to his two classmates, "Is he the person you met in New York a year ago?"
When Mao Lilan encountered those things before, she had a cold and a fever, and her memory was blurry. But now as she recalled the past, the man's face in the rainy night suddenly became clear.
Mao Lilan said firmly: "It's him. At that time, his hair had been hanging down past his waist. Now I don't know why it was cut short."
Conan: "..." It's probably because after he killed the serial killer in New York, he shaved off his features in order to cover up his crime, just like Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period when he cut off his beard and discarded his robe. Unfortunately, this guy also didn't disguise himself thoroughly——
The knitted hat is still there. If it weren't for this, Xiaolan might not be able to remember him.
Next to him, Mouri Kogoro didn't know what these young people were whispering quietly.
Seeing the beautiful lady slamming the door and leaving, he scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "Then let's go now."
Conan didn't want to leave.
——Finally met a suspicious member, and he was alone. If he didn’t get some hair fingerprints now, it would be too late when this guy from New York got used to the atmosphere in Tokyo and became as cautious as vodka.
.
Thinking this, he held his stomach: "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, uncle! I can't walk anymore."
Mouri Kogoro: "Boy, didn't you just finish dinner in Chinatown?"
Conan: "But the uncle died not long after the food was served. I only took one bite of the xiaolongbao... I'm so hungry! Let's eat something before leaving."
He pointed at Akai Shuichi again: "That big brother was also in the Chinese restaurant just now. He must not have had time to eat. We can eat together!"
Akai Shuichi who was pointed at him said: "..."
...What tricks is this kid playing?
The old housekeeper next to him saw this and said quickly: "I'm going to make you some food, please wait a moment."
As he said that, he simply packed up the remains of the tableware on the floor and went to the kitchen.
Only a few guests were left looking at each other.
It seemed a little awkward not to say anything at this time. Jiang Xia looked at Akai Shuichi, as if he wanted to say hello: "Green..."
Akai Shuichi stood up, cut off his words, and introduced himself: "Akai Shuichi."
——The pseudonym "Midorikawa" was used before, mainly to match the disguised fake face. But now he uses his own face, alas, there is no need to deliberately conceal the name...anyway, those who should know already know it
.
Conan: "..." Akai Shuichi? That's obviously not the sound Jiang Xia just pronounced. Could it be that the guy opposite used a pseudonym?
Speaking of which, when Shuichi Akai kidnapped an innocent old man and then hoisted his car to the second floor and hit someone, Jiang Xia was obviously startled when she saw the face of this "Shuichi Akai", as if she knew him.
It's a pity that I couldn't find out anything from Jiang Xia.
Conan had no choice but to decide to work hard on his own.
Before the meal was served, he trotted up to Akai Shuichi, showed an innocent smile as a child, and then began to make insinuations and inquire into the details.
…
After a while, the butler laid a new small dining table for them in the kitchen, and then brought out a pot of spaghetti with the leftover meat sauce from the dinner on top.
Akai Shu saw that the sumptuous banquet on his lips had turned into a very simple meal. Not only did he have no regrets, but he felt a little more relaxed: Although it looked ugly, the dinner now was obviously much safer than before.
Mouri Kogoro was the one who really didn't have dinner. He took a forkful of steaming noodles. Suddenly he remembered something and curiously asked the butler on the side: "Why did Miss Fumiko break off the father-daughter relationship with her father? She looked like
He doesn’t look like such a rebellious child.”
The housekeeper scratched his head: "Well...I heard that this happened five years ago, and I just came here as a housekeeper two years ago. I really don't know what the hidden story is behind this matter."
