Conan smiled awkwardly.

"I remember……"

He thought of the fact that Hirota Masami was Huihara's elder sister, and deduced from this that she should be young, about 20 years old.

"You're not that old, are you?"

"Who knows? Maybe, I'm already an old woman in her 70s, and maybe I suddenly become a child."

Haibara crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile.

"Uh, no?"

Haibara also nodded, looking at the extinguished candles in the center of the venue and the guests who were applauding enthusiastically.

"Of course! It's because you and I are about the same age that it shows how pitiful you are, doesn't it? I don't even dare to admit my feelings frankly. On the level of love, a famous detective can't even find a way to open the door." Not yet."

"Heh, you're just showing off your tongue."

Conan scoffed at Haibara's statement.

"Idiot! If you are closely monitored by that organization and you are about the same age as me, how can you have a chance to fall in love? I won't be fooled by you continuously, Huiyuan."

"It's hard to say, as long as it's my request, the people in the organization will try their best to satisfy me."

Haibara's words made Conan slightly incredulous.

If her status is so high in that organization, it means that she still has deeper information, but she didn't tell him, and she has reservations.Although now they are grasshoppers on a rope, she has something to hide.

What made her so worried?

While Conan was thinking, the lights were turned on again, and the chairman of the Sijing Group walked towards Lihua Sii in the center, the host of the banquet.She is beautiful in a crimson dress, with expensive ornaments on her body, and long black gloves, standing gracefully.

The chairman of Sijing Group was preaching.

"Today, for the little girl's birthday, I am very grateful to invite you all to come to this villa to celebrate her. In the future, I will ask you to support our Sijing Group a lot, thank you!"

Conan couldn't help frowning at Kogoro Mori's appearance of still eating.

"Unknowingly, the content of our conversation has deviated. What I want to tell you is to make you be careful of that woman."

"Be careful of what?"

"Be careful she pries your girlfriend away."

"Pry away?"

Conan didn't understand Haibara's intentions at all. Does this pastor have any special purpose in approaching Xiaolan?He thought about it for a while. When they first met, they were still introduced by Yuanzi. It was not so much that she had a plan for Xiaolan, but it was Xiaolan who took the initiative to approach her.

"What an idiot, you still can't understand what I'm talking about?"

Haibara walked up to Conan's side, and tapped his shoulder with the attitude of an elder, please close your eyes, and said: "That is to say, her orientation is female. If you don't want your girlfriend to be snatched away by others, you'd better Still look a little firmer.”

"Sometimes this kind of thing happens, because one party has not appeared for a long time, another person walks into the heart of the waiting person... Well, although it is a plot that movies and TV dramas like, but the reality is often more exaggerated..."

Conan was so shocked by Haibara's words that he couldn't move. He moved his head stiffly and slowly like a machine, and looked at Xiaolan who was chatting happily with Winnet with a smile.

What was originally pleasing to the eye suddenly became full of jealousy.

He still stubbornly believed that Hui Yuan was playing tricks on him.

"How could there be such a coincidence... Besides, you just met that person, right? How could you know so clearly that she likes men or women... Did you make it up to tease me... Hey, Huiyuan..."

Conan said while taking a breath.

"It's true that I don't know the details. But my sister once talked to me about it. Women are attracted to rumors like bees are attracted to delicate flowers...although it is part of it."

"..."

Conan was speechless.

He had never encountered a similar situation, but it didn't look like Haibara was lying to him. After all, there was no reason, and it was of no benefit to her.He had no choice but to re-examine Winnet and Xiaolan in the exchange, as if there was a filter, the original natural situation suddenly became ambiguous in his eyes-making him unable to keep calm, even when facing difficult cases, He has never been so shaken; is she really interested in Xiaolan?He thought that she never refused Xiaolan's request, but accepted it all. Although it may be because she was not good at refusing others, the time they spent together was too short—so intimate; Conan felt that if it was People of the same gender, like Toyama and Ye who are around Xiaolan and Hattori Heiji, have a good relationship in a short period of time, which is nothing to be surprised about, but with Haibara's reminder, it will be difficult for him to get along with him. Winnet is treated as Xiaolan's "ordinary friend".

But he couldn't remind Xiaolan insincerely, and he swore to Winnet that the feelings of Kudo Shin and Mao Lilan were too stupid, like a puppy afraid of being robbed of food, childish to death!Not at all.

Xiaolan should have no feelings for a woman who is also a woman, he can only hope for it.

Alas, what do I worry about so much, Xiaolan is not my girlfriend yet, and now that she looks like a primary school student, there is really nothing she can do!Thinking of this, he simply joined Mori Kogoro, took a plate, and picked up the food inside, but he had no appetite at all——she imagined the scene of Winnet and Xiaolan together, happily together Practice knitting and cooking, have dinner together, after dinner, the two of them went to participate in entertainment activities - watching movies, listening to concerts -

Conan gripped the fork, feeling that if he thought about it any longer, he would be even more pathetic.

Fortunately, at this time, Mao Lilan finally couldn't stand Kogoro Moori's appearance, and came to his side, telling him not to eat so much food.However, the good-for-nothing uncle didn't care at all, and while saying "high-end cuisine is not something you can eat casually, it is worthy of a famous wine", while piled food into his mouth like no one else was there.

At the same time, the chairman of Sijing Group, standing in the center of the venue, announced:

"Then, before the banquet officially begins, I would like to introduce to you a special guest today—"

The chairman of the Sijing Group waved his finger to where Kogoro Mori was, but the latter was still indulging in high-end cuisine, which made him quite embarrassed. "Mr. Mori!" He called Kogoro emphatically again, and then everyone re-examined Kogoro, and felt that a detective is really a person.

Kogoro, who became the focus for a moment, stopped eating and responded "Hello everyone".

"Not long ago, Mr. Maury did the little girl a great favor."

"It's nothing."

Mori Kogoro shook his hands and put his hands on his waist, looking like he didn't need to mention it.

And Xiaolan was very curious about this, what kind of case did her father solve when she was not there?When she asked, Kogoro said, "That's a big case!"

Conan blinked: Big case?

Why hasn't he heard of it... As a competent detective, he has always actively followed the news in the society, especially the occurrence of some cases. After all, Tokyo is not very big, and almost every event is closely related to their lives.

When he was puzzled, a man took the initiative to greet him: "I've heard about it, Maori Detective! You were able to find Miss Lihua's pet dog—Bubber, that's really not easy!"

"Where is there!" Maori pushed his hand.

Now Xiaolan and Conan finally knew what a "big case" was, and looked at Kogoro with disdain. "It's hopeless to become like this!" She whispered to Winnett, this small move was also fermented in Conan's eyes - at this moment, he believed more and more in what Huiyuan just said.

The man took out his business card from his wallet and handed it to Kogoro: "My name is Takashi Ichieda. It's a great honor to meet your famous detective today! How are you!"

"not bad."

The classic business bragging was still going on, and another stylishly dressed man came.

"That is to say, I think all the criminals will admit their crimes if you look with those sharp eyes!"

The man looked at Miss Lihua while talking: "It's no wonder Miss Lihua chose you to help with this."

Conan complained that he couldn't.

At this time, a new man stepped in again, and he said disdainfully: "Are you finished? You just want to flatter Miss Lihua. But, the famous detective you call is just a middle-aged detective." Uncle Nian."

Conan: You are really right, it hits the nail on the head.

Kogoro Mori was furious when he heard his arrogant words: "What did you say!"

The fashionable man Nikaido also said that his statement was too rude.But the man who looked down on Kogoro didn't stop, and turned to another man behind him and said, "You think so too, don't you?"

"Yes, I have been looking forward to today's arrival. However, he is far from my imagination."

Mori Kogoro is on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, an older middle-aged man came to rescue. "You guys don't understand," he laughed. "Don't you know that even the most powerful eagles hide their claws? He put on such a cowardly look just to let the opponent's guard down. A common strategy used by detectives!" He looked at Kogoro: "Am I right, detective?"

"Yes!" Kogoro responded, touching the back of his head.

Ling Conan smiled awkwardly behind him, which is indeed a "strategy".

"However, Miss Lihua has already seen through this point."

Under his guidance, everyone's bragging target unanimously turned to Miss Lihua.Not long after that, the topic turned to "winning Miss Lihua's heart".

The most arrogant man Mifune concluded: "I don't know which lucky boy it will be, but as long as he marries Miss Lihua, he will be the next president of Sijing Group."

Conan was not interested in this kind of intrigue between men. He felt the urge to urinate, so he went out to find the toilet.

"The corridor is really dark, why not turn on all the lights?"

He was running in the corridor, and there was a burning candle hanging under the ceiling, revealing a faint light.When he reached a deeper place, there was no light at all. He searched for several rooms before finally finding the toilet. He tried to press the light, but it was still dark.At this time, someone behind him suddenly said, "What are you doing?"

He turned his head and saw an elderly woman wearing traditional Japanese clothes.Conan explained in embarrassment: "I want to go to the toilet."

"The light bulb in this toilet is out now," she pointed to the other side, "you can use the toilet opposite."

"Ah."

"But it's really strange. The light bulbs in the corridor, toilet, and bathroom are all broken. I think I have to replace them all these days."

Conan didn't think too much, he went to the toilet and hurried back to the banquet hall.Not too long passed, and the people at the scene were still talking. The four men just now were still gathered together and chatting with each other. Miss Lihua also came here after greeting the guests. Her eyes were on Winnie. She walked around Te's body, probably because she felt that the other party couldn't see her actions, so she looked a little naked.

"How rude, this woman."

Suddenly, Conan heard Haibara talking behind him.

"Ha ha……"

Conan felt that after staying with Haibara for a long time, sooner or later his heart would be frightened. Not only did he say a lot of surprising and frightening remarks from time to time, but he was also always elusive. "So, you still like this pastor very much." Conan joked, "Could it be that you actually have a crush on her? I rarely see it, and you would defend a person like this." He thought to himself, Even the doctor can only be blamed, and other people who are even more irrelevant, in Huiyuan's eyes, they can be judged at will-the comments are extremely sharp.

"Because she has nothing on the surface to criticize."

"On the surface?"

Conan was startled.

Rika Yotsui, who was staring at Winnet, greeted Sofia and held out her hand. "Excuse me, can you see clearly, Miss Moriarty?" she asked with a smile.

Winnet didn't know where her hostility came from, but she wasn't interested either, and shook her hand. "I'm fine," Winnet responded with a smile, "Miss Sii, happy birthday."

"Thank you!"

Perhaps because she felt bored, Lihua Sii didn't bother her much.

Although Mao Lilan beside her didn't think the other party was annoying, but she was more inclined to Winnet, and she comforted her: "Miss Lihua must have a strong personality."

She talked with Yuanzi on the phone before, and Yuanzi said that she didn't like this woman very much, and Suzuki Group didn't have much friendship with Sijing Group.As for herself and the other party, she couldn't deal with it.

Even so, Yuanzi still wanted to participate - because there was Mao Lilan, a hair boy.

"Well, I don't care."

……

253 A sharp hit

There were quite a few outstanding men gathered at the banquet, and she could more or less guess some of them in terms of the cause and effect.Although she doesn't think comparison is a good way, most of the time it is a powerful means to show oneself.But she was not interested in those men, and she didn't come here to spoil the situation. In other words, she was trying to please the lady in front of her, because she decided to make a small deal with Masashi Muta, the executive officer of the Sijing Group, who was present.

Yoshii Reika let go of Winnet, who had no existence, and continued to linger in the crowd.

"Those guys are really acting like saints," said Ai, who intervened between Winnet and Maurilan, "or, I guess, they came for her money. It's always like that, so cute." After seeing the pretty young lady, 'love' will disappear in a blink of an eye." Her calm voice caused several people around to stare at her, "Or, the lifeblood of the company is in the hands of this young lady, and he has to follow her wishes." , combing her hair, driving the car—I have to do everything for her," she opened her eyes and laughed, "Well, it can't be that bad anyway, at least you get money and rights, don't you?"

Xiao Ai's words made Xiaolan dumbfounded, and made Conan sweat coldly while saying "vicious" in his heart.

"Small sorrow..."

Mao Lilan opened her eyes and opened her mouth to correct her "bad thoughts", but realized that this was a naked, maliciously based reality, and it got stuck in her throat. up.

"The ending of the recent film and television drama 'Lovers in the Storm' is like this. That TV drama is quite interesting."

"TV drama……"

As if suddenly remembering that there was indeed something broadcast on TV, Mao Lilan scratched his cheek eagerly.Are recent TV shows this realistic?She thought to herself that Conan should be restricted from watching some programs after returning home.

Winnet couldn't help showing a smile, Xiao Ai was really unparalleled in terms of insinuations, targeting, and hitting the nail on the head.Not only that, she also felt the meaning of complaining for her, to some extent, to help her vent her anger.Although she doesn't need Xiao Ai to do this, she still thinks she is very cute, and this is a different kind of sweet talk - she is very useful.

"There is still a big difference between TV dramas and reality, and you have to learn to distinguish them properly." Xiaolan reminded from the side, but she couldn't tell children not to believe in TV, because most of the childhood fantasies are still beautiful things.

Xiaolan pulled Conan past him.

"Conan, bring Xiao Ai to play together!" She whispered in his ear, "And your little friends, show her more good things."

Xiaolan thought to herself, it must be that Xiao Ai often watched TV alone, and gradually became what she is now.

Conan said that I knew it, but the desire to complain has already tortured him to the point that since he is a mysterious scientist of the Black Organization, he should not watch this kind of soap opera all day long!And definitely said that on purpose, so aggressive!Oh no!He must be very careful not to offend this poisonous scientist, lest he be so damaged that he wants to find a hole in the ground.He felt that Haibara would restrain himself a little only in front of Motota Mitsuhiko Ayumi and the others.

Winnet took advantage of the situation with emotion. "Xiao Ai is really a child with personality," she smiled, "with a straightforward personality."

"Frank..."

Conan made a serious face.

"Why, do you have any opinions?" Xiao Ai glanced at him.

"No, how dare I."
