Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

At this time, Lihua Sijing came to everyone holding a poker card.

"I think we all come to play a game of poker and pass the time of tonight together."

Yoshii Reika said with a smile.

"I can't accompany you anymore."

Mifune stepped out of the crowd and directly rejected Lihua Yoshii's proposal.With his hands in his pockets, he came up to the delirious Maori and held out his palm.

"I can drive you back, just give me the keys to your car."

Seeing Mifune who was so ignorant, Lihua Sii's eyes became sharp, and her tone was slightly mocking.

"You're going back...It's such a pity. I thought you were also one of my husband candidates."

"Let me tell you, the reason why I am here today is entirely for the face of the chairman, and only for the benefit of our company."

In the middle of speaking, Mifune turned back confidently, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with Reika Yotsui.

"I'm really sorry, I'm not interested in you at all, and I have to send my friend back, so I won't accompany you."

Listening to his words, the men around couldn't help sweating on their cheeks—everyone knew that Miss Lihua was going to be angry.However, they did not have the idea of ​​retaining Sanfuan. Based on the mentality that one less competitor is one, this kind of development has actually gone smoothly.

The mild-mannered Ichitaka wanted to keep him for a while, so he called his name.

"Three boats..."

"Just let him go."

Nikaido interrupted.

"That's right, so our competitors are also reduced."

Ojo Gojo, who said before that Kogoro was a minor character, also said.

Mifune ignored them, and his eyes fell on Kogoro.

"Let's go now, big detective." He hooked his fingers together, "Okay, where are the keys?"

Although Mori Kogoro was not very conscious, he also knew that the person in front of him was going to send them back and handed over the car keys to him.However, before Mifune closed his palms, he was suddenly slapped on the wrist - Reika Yotsui knocked the key in his hand to the ground, making a crisp impact sound.

"what are you doing?"

Mifune looked up at Reika Yotsui with a fierce face.

"If you want to go back, you can go back, but relatively, my dad will not have any business dealings with you in the future."

Lihua Sijing turned her head while talking, assumed a proud posture again, glanced at Kuye Masumi with displeased eyes, and then walked towards the gate.

"What did you say?"

Mifune couldn't believe it - this woman was simply unreasonable - to fight back at him in such a way.

"Aunt Mi, come and help me change my clothes."

"Yes, Miss Lihua."

The elderly Aunt Mi served around Lihua Sijing.

When Lihua Sijing left the banquet hall, she didn't forget to look back and mock Mifune.

"To be clear, you are all birds in a cage. If I don't feed you, you won't be able to survive at all. So it's best to please the master, and don't show your temper! Hahaha!"

"hateful……"

When Lihua Sijing left, Mifune was able to complain.For the sake of the company, he can't defy the other party yet.

After this farce, Sophia, who was still a little drunk, became sober, but she was a little outspoken.

"What, what an arrogant woman. The Yotsui Group is only ranked tenth in Japan, but it is extremely arrogant..."

Sophia pressed Winnet's shoulders, staring at her as if with force.

"However, maybe this kind of personality is not bad. What makes me even more distressed is that you, the daughter of a big group, don't plan to use your rights and status at all. If you can also act like a celebrity, I will It can save you worry!"

Winnet didn't know what to say.

It turns out that Miss Unruly Qianjin's personality is better?

"No, I'm not the kind of person who grew up with a golden key in my mouth. In my bones, I still feel that I am very ordinary."

Xiao Ai closed her eyes and meditated, suddenly opened her eyes and muttered.

"Ordinary... funny enough..."

"That's the problem."

Sophia continued to sigh with emotion, and even wanted to drink some more wine, but the messy scene could no longer find a complete bottle.

Sophia's statement also attracted the attention of those men, but due to their firm stance towards Miss Lihua, they did not ask about Sophia and Winnet. Come up and say hello to Winnet.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Miss Moriarty from the Durant Group, right?"

He smiled confidently, with the austerity unique to a steady middle-aged man.

The performance of the previous crowd also made it clear to Winnet that the man in front of him is the type who talks nonsense to others - shrewd and chasing profit - even though he has retreated to the second line, he is still ready to embrace Sijing Lihua has such a thigh, and has a good relationship with these men who may become Lihua Sijing's husband in the future, which shows that he still wants to bloom a second career in his career.

"Hello, Mr. Muta."

Winnet smiled and held out her palm.

Liu Tian thought it was his actions that brought Winnet a good impression, but the moment he shook his hand, he realized something was wrong, the rubbing feeling was a processed note.

He tightened his palms, protected the note, and quickly put it in his pocket.He has been in the workplace for so many years, and he is very familiar with some small tricks, but he doesn't know why the daughter of the big group in front of him has to do it specially.

Could it be that she wants to get closer to Sijing Group?

"I'm honored to meet you here. I heard that you have been committed to charity. Although you have never appeared in the public eye, people in the upper class know your deeds."

Liu Tian complimented.

In fact, he didn't lie.The largest shareholder of the Durant Group did not participate in the company's operations and decision-making, but became a pastor and handled a lot of charitable work. Such an image made this daughter of a thousand gold praises from many women, and because of her status It is a pastor, which to some extent represents cleanliness, so he frequently sends out invitations.However, because she rarely showed up, the craze gradually passed, but she did not completely fade out of the vision of the consortium.

He remembered that the main business scope of the Durant Group was Cornerstone Industries, as well as luxury goods such as yachts, such as Miss Lihua's yachts, which were specially customized by Durant's companies.

Under the influence of his attitude, the rest of the men also greeted Winnet, but they didn't show much enthusiasm.Xiao Ai, who was standing aside, felt that they were afraid of being seen by Lihua Sijing.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Kogoro and Sophia became more sober.According to Lihua Yotsui's proposal, everyone tidied up the table that was originally used for the banquet, and played cards on the tablecloth. Because of the large number of people, the two tables were merged and a deck of cards was added.In addition to the five men around Lihua Yoshii, there are also Winnett, Ran, Kogoro, and Masumi Jiuye. Sophia said that she didn't know the rules of the poker, so she passed it, and Mifune and Takashi Ichie also chose not to participate in the game. .

And the remaining Conan and Xiao Ai are not excluded——

Conan was sitting in Xiaolan's arms, and Xiao Ai was also sitting in Winnet's arms, holding poker cards.

"You don't know how to play cards."

Seeing Winnet handing over the cards to her, Xiao Ai said softly.

"I don't know much about the rules in Japan, and..."

Winnet leaned into Xiao Ai's ear, whispering that she is a master cheater, has a strong desire to win and lose in this type of game, and doesn't like to play unprepared luck games.

According to her idea, although poker has a certain range that can be calculated, it is still a game of luck in essence, not a game that can be sure of winning by reading the cards.

General Liu Tian took over the task of distributing playing cards, and after the process came to an end, a situation of chatting while playing cards was smoothly formed.

"Hey, Mifune, why don't you introduce this lady to us?"

Gojo Xiu called out to Mifune who was sitting on the sofa.

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Jiuye was my junior in college. I asked her to come with me to let that woman know that I'm not interested in her."

……

"Actually, I'm still very interested in the birthday dinner of the daughter of a big company, and chatting with everyone has gained a lot of knowledge."

Jiuye Masumi smiled and explained, as if trying to smooth things over for Mifune.

Responding to Jiuye's words, Xiaolan curiously asked about the occasion when the men present got to know Lihua Sijing.The confident Nikaido talked eloquently, briefly describing the experience of a few people, including the fact that they were originally members of the same yacht club.

"We used to take Miss Lihua's yacht to play on nearby small islands. Now that I think about it, we are really happy!"

Nikaido showed a smile of reminiscence, but it didn't last long, because he was interrupted by the sound of Mifune tearing down.

"It was indeed very happy at that time, but it has changed since the incident happened two years ago."

As soon as Mifune's words came out, the faces of all the five men present changed - so obvious that anyone could notice it, and even Kogoro and Sophia, who had just lost their drunkenness, followed suit - spewing out a strange atmosphere. "Ah...those are things in the past." Nikaido forced a smile.Takashi Ichiji, who had just put down his drink, ran up to Mifune as if stimulated, and asked, "Didn't we already agree not to mention that matter again?"

Shoji Muta, who was sitting in his seat, didn't want to continue this topic anymore. He glanced at the lacquered wood pendulum clock hanging on the wall next to him, and found that it was already 10:30.

"It's strange, Miss Lihua went to change clothes, why is it so slow?"

Wujo Xiu also said worriedly: "Could something have happened?"

"Whatever she does, I don't want to suffer from her eldest lady's temper again."

Mifune sat on the sofa holding a teacup, took a sip and put it back on the saucer, with an expression of "Lihua is not there but leisurely".

Although everyone else felt the same, Lihua Sijing was changing clothes after all, and she might just take a rest in the room by the way, and didn't bother her, so the board game continued.Xiao Ai, who was held in Winnet's arms, had already won for the third time, and Conan, who was sitting next to Xiao Lan, looked sideways, and he asked, "Could you be cheating, Haibara?"

Xiao Ai glanced at him with ease, and replied in an ambiguous tone: "I didn't, maybe someone was sitting near 'that her', distracted, and couldn't concentrate at all?"

"Ok?"

Xiaolan looked over suspiciously.

Conan immediately blushed, bit his lip and said that he was going to go to the toilet, and the player who held the cards was naturally replaced by Mao Lilan.

"Conan is really, I went there not long ago..."

If it's an adult, Xiao Ai doesn't mind adding "maybe it's better to go to the hospital to see", but now Kudo is just a kid.And as soon as the players were replaced, she immediately felt the pressure sitting next to Xiaolan—the absolute suppression of luck.After the card drawing stage ended, almost the entire game was Xiaolan's performance show, with endless combinations overwhelming everyone, and winning in her arms.

"Amazing……"

Nikaido and Gojo Osamu sighed with emotion.

"Xiao Ai actually lost."

"Well, things like luck are not clear. Do you want to play? I can tell you the cards played by others. Just sitting is boring, right?"

"No, it's very interesting to watch Xiao Ai playing cards."

Winnet didn't say what's interesting about it. Although Xiao Ai was calm when playing cards, when the victory was in her hands, she would quietly show a smug smile, and her body would be more relaxed.This kind of careful prying not only gave her a childlike novelty, but also a weird sense of guilt, which put her in a relatively complicated state of mind, or in other words, almost a little excited.

Winnet almost pricked up her ears to listen to Xiao Ai's breathing, feeling inexplicably wonderful in her heart—but she didn't want to be regarded as having any special hobbies, so she naturally didn't want to show it.

At the end of the game, Takashi Ichiji who joined the game couldn't hold back.

The pendulum clock has advanced half a circle, and the hour hand has reached eleven o'clock.

"It's just changing clothes, it's too slow, isn't it?"

Ichie Takashi asks the others for advice.

General Liu Tian looked back at his watch and knew that he really couldn't just wait any longer. Before the chairman left, he had already entrusted Miss Lihua to him.

"In that case..."

He looked at Aunt Mi who had finished serving Miss Lihua to take off her dress and came back to entertain everyone in the banquet hall: "Aunt Mi, can I invite you to Miss Lihua's room to have a look, what's going on?"

"it is good."

After receiving the answer, Masahiro Muta said, "I'll go to another room to have a look."

"I'll go too."

After Ichiji Takashi proposed, Nikaido and Gojo Osamu also said that they would go to the villa together to find Miss Lihua's whereabouts.Only Mifune remained indifferent.As guests, Winnet and the others also stayed.

"I don't know if Miss Lihua is okay. It's been more than two hours."

Xiaolan expressed concern.

Winnet felt that she didn't seem like the kind of person who would leave the guests behind without saying a word. Although she was a bit arrogant, she also paid great attention to decency.I'm afraid it's more or less ominous, she thought of Mifune who was very dissatisfied with Lihua in this room, but he never left this room halfway, and the others left for more or less different reasons, that is, Mifune would never is the murderer.Maybe Ms. Lihua is really still alive... She glanced at Jiuye Chengzheng who was quietly sitting on the seat. This kind of calmness did not meet her expectations, as if the other party had given up on killing the target of this trip.

However, Jiuye Masumi's goal is not Miss Lihua, and the current development is unpredictable.

"Maybe it's because I was too tired today, so I lay down in the room and fell asleep?"

A few seconds after Winnet made her deduction, the lights in most rooms in the villa were turned on.Each of them could hear the voice of the four men calling Miss Lihua.Perhaps Lihua Sijing was not in the room, and in this way, life and death really became uncertain.This made Winnett care about Mori Kogoro, as if as long as he was present, the case would definitely happen.And Conan, the things in the playground also impressed Winnett, she thought it might be the chemical reaction produced by the two detectives getting together.

After all, a detective is a prestigious and influential existence in this world, a role comparable to lawyers and police officers.

Kogoro yawned, and said casually, "What's going on, can it still be missing?"
