Chapter 105 I don't want to see the god of death in the banquet hall
The next night, the Yotsui family's mountain mansion.
Reika Yotsui, who is the center of the banquet, has not yet appeared, and the guests are chatting with each other in the hall.
In the corner of the buffet table, Suzuki Sonoko picked up a cookie and put it in her mouth. While chewing it, she complained vaguely to Mao Lilan: "Why did you bring this light bulb again?"
Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly and reached out to touch Conan's head: "I'm sorry, but he insists on coming here, and my dad went to the concert tonight, and if I leave too, there will be no one to do it for him.
meal."
Conan laughed in agreement.
He couldn't let go when he thought that Mao Lilan was going out with Suzuki Sonoko. After all, the eldest lady of the Suzuki family was either flirting with a guy or on her way to flirt with a guy - but she didn't dress up well, so she was trying to hook up with him.
Ninety percent of boys will fall in love with Mao Lilan in the end.
Mao Lilan had no interest in chatting up handsome guys. Seeing Suzuki Sonoko start looking for a target again, she held him back and whispered:
"Don't listen to her nonsense." Suzuki Sonoko and Yotsui Reika didn't have much to deal with. She waved her hands contemptuously and shared the gossip with her sisters:
"This kind of rhetoric is only used to hide things from elders who don't know anything, and people from different circles. In fact, Si Jing already has a boyfriend. Well, it's that peacock over there."
She raised her chin and pointed at a handsome young man with dyed brown hair in the distance.
Nikaido Yuji actually looks good, but men who already have a partner will automatically lose their handsomeness in Suzuki Sonoko's eyes, not to mention his character is a bit exaggerated, which is not Suzuki Sonko's cup of tea.
She quickly looked away from Nikaido, opened her arms, and made a circle in the venue intoxicatedly: "In other words, except for him, we can choose from all the young talents!"
"Haha..." Conan's mouth twitched twice, thank you for helping me find so many love rivals.
But he soon felt at ease again - fortunately, Xiaolan was not a naughty dog, and she had no interest in other people... Huh?
"Sister Xiaolan, where are you going?"
Conan grabbed Mao Lilan who was walking aside.
Mao Lilan was pulled to a stop by him. She touched Conan's head and pointed to the rest area seven or eight meters away. There was a man sitting on the sofa with his back to them, with only half of the back of his head exposed: "Look.
Does that... look like Mr. Shiraishi?"
"?"
Conan looked at the back of the head. No matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary head: "...How did you recognize it?"
"Just now he took a magazine from the bookend next to him, and I saw his profile." Mao Lilan said and walked over again. It would be quite interesting to meet an acquaintance on such an occasion. At the same time, she
I was a little curious and didn't understand why Shiraishi was here.
Suzuki Sonoko and Conan hurriedly followed. They turned to the side of the sofa and peeked their heads to see that it was really him.
"Discipline!"
A gust of wind blew past, and Mao Lilan panicked and held down the hem of her skirt blown by the wind. When she raised her head again, Suzuki Sonoko was already sitting next to Shiraishi at a teleporting speed, and grabbed his arm.
"It's really you!"
The man who was grabbed was shaken and fell to the other side, leaning on the armrest of the sofa. The magazine in his hand also clattered to the ground.
"..."
With a pair of dead eyes, Suzuki Sonoko silently retracted her hand and cleared her throat: "It's all my fault, Reika Yosui, for not ventilating the banquet hall. The air is so dull, no wonder Ritsuki fell asleep."
Mao Lilan sighed worriedly: "I don't know if he has been to the hospital. Fortunately, he was in the banquet hall this time. It would be too dangerous if he fell asleep on the way up the mountain."
Shiraishi, who closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, also sighed tiredly at this moment. Weren't these three people still on his diagonal before? When did they wander over here? It's rare that he was still seen after being lounging on the sofa for so long.
arrive.
When he first discovered this very eye-catching combination of two girls and a child, Shiraishi's first reaction was "Sure enough, we have another mission". His second reaction was that the party was too boring, so he could just go say hello and chat a few words.
kill time.
But when he took steps, he habitually imitated the topics he might talk about later, and then silently stopped.
... He looks like a commoner, but he is actually a commoner. He is only a second-generation rich person. If he suddenly appears at a banquet of the Sijing Group, he will definitely be asked why he is here.
Furthermore, it is possible to discuss the "Shiraishi Group" that Shiraishi himself doesn't know about. If Suzuki Sonoko shows that he understands the Shiraishi family's industry better than he does, it will be too embarrassing.
Shiraishi had thought about getting information before, but the "basic mother" was very good at getting what she paid for. Apart from informing him of the banquet and sending an invitation letter, she had no further communication with Shiraishi.
.
When Shiraishi called back when she had questions to ask, her cell phone was already unreachable.
In short, due to various reasons, the moment he realized that he had been discovered by Mao Lilan, Shiraishi decisively "fell to sleep".
...Since I accepted the setting of sleepiness, everything has become more convenient - Want to avoid asking questions? Sleep. Want to escape nagging? Sleep. Want to provide an excuse for doing hard work? Sleep.
The only fly in the ointment was that after discovering that he was "asleep", the other three people did not leave, and Suzuki Sonoko even sat down and refused to get up.
When Mao Lilan went to get a drink, Suzuki Sonoko picked up the magazine that Shiraishi had just dropped on the ground, opened it and flipped through a few pages. She found that it contained content that she was not interested in, so she casually put the book on the coffee table.
Then she cupped her chin and stared at Shiraishi's face. While resisting the urge to take out her camera to secretly take pictures, she was alert: "Why did Ritsu come to such a banquet? Is he also here to catch the daughter of a rich family?"
"It's probably because of those troublesome family friendships." Conan sat next to him and took a mouthful of jelly, and replied casually while eating.
After being a detective for so long, answering questions has become his conditioned reflex:
"Shiraishi's family is quite special. The fathers are doing their own thing and are not willing to inherit the property of the previous generation. Therefore, so far, the top leader of Shiraishi Group is still Shiraishi's grandfather."
This was all found out by Dr. Ali before:
"Originally, the social representative of the younger generation was another person named Shiraishi Shinji, but last year he went to study in the United States, and now Shiraishi is the only one in Tokyo. So when he received the invitation from the Yotsui Group, his family invited him
Sent here - that's how it should be."
"Oh, I do remember the name Shiraishi Shinji, but I have no impression of him. He must look different from Ritsu..." Suzuki Sonoko nodded seriously, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "...you are a little kid
Damn boy, how do you know this?"
"!" Conan squeezed Jelly's hand, touched the back of his head and laughed dryly, "I often go to Uncle Shiraishi's cafe, and I overheard it!"
"If you are so concerned about this kind of thing at a young age, you will definitely become the kind of scum who deceives young and lovely girls in order to inherit the family fortune when you grow up."
Suzuki Sonoko was speechless and hit him on the forehead with her finger, "Also, from now on, I will call you brother! Ritsuki is still so young!"
