The next night, the mountain mansion of the Yotsui family.

Yotsui Reika, who was the center of the banquet, had not yet appeared, and the guests were chatting with each other in the hall.

In the corner of the buffet table, Suzuki Sonoko picked up a cookie and put it in his mouth, and complained to Maurilan vaguely while chewing: "Why did you bring this light bulb again."

Mao Lilan smiled embarrassedly, reached out and touched Conan's head: "I'm sorry, but he has to follow him, and my dad went to the concert tonight, and if I leave, no one will do it for him. meal."

Conan let out a silly smile.

When he thought that Maorilan was going out with Suzuki Sonoko, he couldn't rest assured. After all, the eldest lady of the Suzuki family was either flirting or on her way to flirt with him—she was not well-dressed, and the boy she was trying to hook up with , the last 90% will look at Maorilan.

Maurilan had no interest in approaching the handsome guy at all. Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko began to look for a target again, she held him back and persuaded in a low voice:

"It's not good to chat casually. I overheard someone saying that these young talents are all invited by Miss Sijing, and she plans to choose a suitable fiancé among them..."

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Suzuki Sonoko and Yotsui Reika didn't quite deal with it. She waved her hands contemptuously and shared gossip with her sisters:

"This kind of rhetoric is also used to hide things from elders who don't know about it, and people from different circles. In fact, Si Jing already has a boyfriend. Well, it's that flower peacock over there."

She raised her chin and nodded to a young man with dyed brown hair in the distance.

In fact, Yuji Nikaidou doesn't look bad, but a man who already has a partner automatically loses his aura of handsomeness in Suzuki Sonoko's eyes, not to mention his exaggerated personality, not Suzuki Sonoko's dish.

She quickly looked away from Erjiadang, opened her arms, and made a virtual circle in the venue intoxicated: "In other words, except for him, all young talents can be chosen by us!"

"Haha..." Conan's mouth twitched twice, thank you for helping me find so many rivals in love.

But soon he felt at ease again - fortunately, Xiaolan is not Yangou, and has no interest in other people... Huh?

"Sister Xiaolan, where are you going?"

Conan grabbed Maurilan who was walking to the side.

Mao Lilan was dragged to a halt by him, she touched Conan's head and pointed to the rest area seven or eight meters away, where there was a man sitting on the sofa with his back to them, with only half of the back of his head exposed: "Look at the rest area. That...does it look like Mr. Shiraishi?"

"?"

Conan stared at the back of the head. No matter what, it was just an ordinary head: "...How did you recognize it?"

"Just now he took a magazine from the book stand next to him, and I saw his profile." Mao Lilan said and walked over again. It's very interesting to meet acquaintances on this 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, and they turned to the side of the sofa and secretly looked at him, and it was really him.

"Discipline!"

A gust of wind blew past, and Mao Lilan frantically held down the hem of the skirt that was blown by the wind. When he raised his head again, Suzuki Sonoko was already sitting next to Shiraishi with a teleport-like speed, and grabbed his arm. "It's really you!"

The person being held swayed, and fell to the other side, leaning on the armrest of the sofa, and the magazine in his hand also fell to the ground.

"…"

Suzuki Sonoko held a pair of dead fish eyes, silently retracted his hand, and cleared his throat: "It's all to blame for Lihua Sijing, and the banquet hall is not ventilated. The air is so dull, no wonder Li Jihui fell asleep."

Mao Lilan sighed worriedly: "I don't know if he went to the hospital to see it. Fortunately, this time he was in the banquet hall. If he fell asleep on the way up the mountain, it would be too dangerous."

Shiraishi, who closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, also sighed tiredly. Wasn't these three still on his diagonal before? When did he sneak here, it's rare that he was still seen after being on the sofa for so long.

When he first discovered this very striking combination of two girls with a child, Shiraishi's first reaction was, "Sure enough, there will be a task again." The second reaction was that the banquet was too boring, so I could go say hello and chat a few words. kill time.

But when he took a step, he habitually simulated a topic that he might talk about later, and then stopped silently.

... He looks like a commoner, but he is actually a commoner. Only someone who is supposed to be a rich second generation suddenly appears at the banquet of the Four Wells Group, and he will definitely be asked why he came here.

Then it is possible to discuss the "Shiroishi Group" that Shiraishi himself does not know. If Suzuki Sonoko knows more about the Shiraishi family's business than he does, it will be too embarrassing.

Shiraishi had also thought about inquiring about the information before, but the "basic mother" was very good at every penny—except for informing him of the banquet and sending an invitation letter, she did not have any more communication with Shiraishi.

When Shiraishi wanted to ask a question and called back, her cell phone was no longer connected.

In short, for various reasons, Shiraishi decisively "falls asleep" the moment he realizes that he was discovered by Mao Lilan.

...everything has become more convenient since accepting sleepiness - want to avoid asking questions? sleep. Want to escape the chatter? sleep. Want to provide an excuse for a coolie? sleep.

The only fly in the ointment was that after finding that he was "sleep", the other three did not leave, and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't get up even when he sat down.

When Maurilan went to get a drink, Suzuki Sonoko picked up the magazine that Shiraishi had just dropped on the ground~lightnovelpub.net~, opened it and turned over a few pages, and found that it was not interesting to her, so she put the book on the coffee table.

Then she held her cheeks and stared at Bai Shi's face, resisting the urge to take out a camera and taking pictures, while being alert: "Why did Lu Ji come to this kind of banquet? Isn't he here to catch a rich family's daughter?"

"It's because of those troublesome family friendships." Conan sat next to him and dug a mouthful of jelly, and replied casually while eating.

Having been a detective for so long, answering questions has become his conditioned reflex:

"Baishi's family is quite special. Their fathers are doing their own things, and they are not willing to inherit the previous generation's industry. So far, the leader of the Baishi Group is still Baishi's grandfather."

This is what Dr. Toa Li found out before:

"Originally, the social representative of the younger generation was another person named Shinji Shiraishi, but he went to study in the United States last year, and now only Shiraishi is in Tokyo. So when he received the invitation from the Yotsui Group, his family took him to the United States. Sent—as it should be."

"Oh, I do remember the name Shiraishi Shinji, but I don't have any impression of him. He must be different from Ryuji..." Suzuki Sonoko nodded solemnly and suddenly felt wrong, "...You are a little brat. , how do you know this?"

"!" Conan squeezed Jelly's hand for a while, touched the back of his head and laughed dryly, "I often go to Uncle Shiraishi's cafe to play, and I overheard it!"

"You are so concerned about this kind of thing at a young age. When you grow up, you will become the kind of scum who deceives young and lovely girls in order to inherit the family property."

Suzuki Sonoko was very speechless, and banged a finger on his forehead, "Also, I'll call you brother from now on! Lu Ji is still so young!"

"…"
