The beautifully carved French birch long table is filled with delicacies. Bartenders are busy pouring champagne towers, and waiters are weaving through the crowd with plates.

The musicians of the well-known bands invited from England played elegant music, and without any notice or order, the ball began naturally.

At this party, all the members of the delegation were the most distinguished guests. The Suzuki consortium is the owner, and they are the protagonists.

As an important employee of the Suzuki Foundation, Alie Renno was also invited to attend the party. She was tasked with coordinating and communicating with the delegation, and even when she saw Ashbara, she didn't have time to greet her. The scale of the delegation was not small, at least twenty or thirty people.

Pat Menendez, one of them. He had a mediocre position in the expedition and was not a leading figure. As a spy, he disguised himself well, but unfortunately in front of Ji Haihong, this disguise was meaningless.

Many celebrities and dignitaries present chatted with the members of the delegation very cordially, and the mature Pate became the object of attention of many girls. Seeing Pate, who was comfortable in the flowers, Ji Haihong at the dining table pinched the fork in his hand.

Suddenly, Gray Yuan slapped him from behind: "It turns out that that person is Pate?" ”

"Don't say his name here, be careful of exposure." Observing the scene, Ji Haihong found no trace of Erebos.

Gray Yuan said helplessly: "Are you still qualified to talk about me?" Mr. Mercenary? You've been staring at him, your look, your movements are all exposed, and you must relax on such a beautiful night. ”

"Then I'll go get some champagne."

"As a mercenary who travels on any occasion, don't you have the experience of attending this kind of party, and now is not the time to drink champagne alone to relieve your boredom." After saying this, Gray Yuan lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and his beautiful face flushed, as if he was expecting something.

He looked at the gray plains, and then at the dancing crowd. Ji Haihong smiled knowingly and stretched out his hand: "Noble princess, can you dance with me?" ”

"Hmm."

Gray Yuan is right, as an experienced mercenary, Ji Haihong often receives orders from bodyguards. These employers are either wealthy or expensive, and most of them go to high-end establishments. So in training, Ji Haihong also learned a little ballroom dancing or something. It's not very skilled, but it's not clumsy either.

Take each other's hands and follow the rhythm of the music. Dancing with a boy for the first time, Gray Yuan looked a little nervous, but she mustered up the courage to look at Ji Haihong. After a while, she found that her hand seemed to tremble slightly, and later realized that it seemed to be Ji Haihong's hand trembling.

Gray Yuan was amused: "Why, Mr. Mercenary, who has been in a hundred battles, is he nervous about dancing with girls?" ”

"It's not the first time I've danced with a girl, but you're different from others."

With the help of Gray Yuan, Ji Haihong's mood gradually calmed down and threw himself into dancing.

But Conan who was on the scene was not in such a good mood, he was unwilling to bite his handkerchief to see Ji Haihong and Gray Yuan showing their affection there, and then looked at Xiaolan who was alone and the garden where her boyfriend was present.

"It's a pity, that Kudo guy doesn't have time to come, Lan, why don't I choose a handsome guy to dance for you?" The garden is very worried about Xiaolan.

Xiaolan shook her head: "No need, when Mr. Kyogoku comes here, you can go dancing with him." ”

Although she said that she understood Shinichi, as a girl, Xiaolan's heart was still lonely. Seeing that everyone else had a suitable dance partner, Shinichi's figure was long gone.

Alas, I really want to tell Xiaolan the truth in person as Conan on that day.

Dr. Asa walked up to Conan and said with relief, "I'm relieved to see that their relationship is so harmonious, don't worry about Kudo, one day, you and Miss Lan will join hands at the wedding ball." ”

Conan blushed rarely, "What are you talking about, doctor?" ”

The doctor smiled, "Hehehe, I'm also from here." ”

Not only Conan, but Yuan Zi was a little impatient after seeing Ji Haihong and Gray Yuan's elegant and calm dance. As the second lady of the Suzuki Foundation, she is also one of the focuses of tonight.

"Hey, Garden!" Ayako Suzuki walked over with her husband.

Yuanzi happily stepped forward to greet him: "Sister! Brother-in-law! When did you arrive? I didn't find you in the first place! ”

"Yuzo and I have some things to do, so I'm just rushing over now, after all, today's party is very important."

Yuzo Tomizawa, the brother-in-law of the garden, said: "That's right, I admire my father-in-law's plan, even if this business is not our share of the Tomizawa family, I want to come and see, Yuanzi, what about your boyfriend?" ”

While he was talking, Kyogoku really arrived on time. After saying hello to the family, the garden couldn't wait to pull her boyfriend to dance.

Seeing that her sister's personality was still so straightforward, her sister smiled helplessly and stepped onto the dance floor at the invitation of her husband.

Ji Haihong and Gray Yuan returned to the table, and Conan was eating grapes alone. Motota and Mitsuhiko agreed to dance with each of Ayumi, and Ayumi wanted to invite Conan, but Conan was not in the mood.

"Is this grape sour?" Ji Haihong asked.

Gray Plains' prank joke begins again: "How can an omnipotent detective eat grapes here alone?" Don't you go dancing with Ayumi, it looks so pitiful. ”

Conan ate a bunch of grapes, sullen. If it weren't for the endless show of these two guys by his side, his mood wouldn't be so bad!

The three little ones didn't know how to dance, they just followed in the footsteps of the adults and learned and sold - and they were decent. They finished dancing early, watched the garden and Kyogoku Mako, and learned a lot of postures.

"Aha, that's cool." At the end of the song, the garden came to the table with champagne contentedly. Kyogoku Mano thoughtfully wiped the sweat from her forehead with a face towel.

"Sister Yuanzi is so amazing!" The three little ones said enviously.

Ayako Suzuki and her husband came over and had a friendly conversation with the garden.

At this moment, someone said in pure English, "Miss Ayako Suzuki, Miss Sonoko Suzuki, hello." ”

Sonoko hides behind Kyogoku Shin, not afraid of the person in front of her, but the person in front of her has a mature charm that a young girl can't resist.

Elilyn Ye walked over quickly: "Hello everyone, this is the main advisor of the delegation, Mr. Menendez. ”

Pater! Conan immediately raised his vigilance. At the same time, he found that Arielyn Ye seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Pate's behavior. When she arrived, she looked at Pate with a look of boredom.

"Mr. Menendez, you don't speak Japanese, if you want to communicate with other people, it's best to say hello to me first, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Alie said.

Is it just because of that?

"Y-hello, I'm Sonoko Suzuki." With an authentic Japanese accent, Sonoko replied nervously.

"Miss Suzuki doesn't have to be formal, I've only met Chairman Suzuki and his wife before, so I'm curious about who his two daughters are, and Miss Ellie, please don't be surprised."

Unlike the others, Ji Haihong faced the dining table and did not look at Pete. Conan didn't know what he was up to.

"Oh, kid, it's you." Pate said.

This was said to Conan, the last time they met.

"You know?" Alie asked.

"By chance, I met once, and I saw on the news that this kid is a little detective."

Reasonable explanation, except for Aililianye, everyone is clear.

"Huh? Who is this kid? ”

Conan and Gray Plains appear calm, and both have a large stone hanging in their hearts. Pate took the initiative to approach Ji Haihong, obviously testing him. How will Ji Haihong react?

"Oh? Is Uncle talking to me? Ji Haihong turned around, he was holding the cake in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were cream.

Seeing Ji Haihong, Pate obviously thought of something. He squatted down, took out his handkerchief, and gently stroked the cream from the corner of the child's mouth: "Yes, child, you - you should pay attention in the future, don't eat so ugly." ”

Ji Haihong said embarrassedly: "Thank you, uncle." ”

"Your English is good, you are so good at English at such a young age, and you have lived in Europe and the United States before?"

"That's right," Ji Haihong swallowed the cake, "and then my family sent me to live in Japan." ”

Pate didn't say anything more, he patted Ji Haihong on the shoulder and got up to leave.

Ji Haihong and Pete didn't talk for a long time, but for Gray Yuan, it seemed like a few centuries. She rested at the table to calm her nervousness.

It's funny, why be nervous? Ji Haihong handled it very well, and Pate was not suspicious.

……

Amuro was followed. It's not surprising, **** is in this industry, being followed is simply commonplace. He's been stalked by Gin, he's been stalked by vodka, he's been stalked by Cohen - however, this time it feels a little different.

He was sure that the person who followed him was not someone he was familiar with.

Recently, Toru Amuro has been very troubled, and the organization's deworming efforts have increased, so he can't pass on the information in time. It was easy to think of a good way to submit the information to Ji Haihong through Conan, and then Ji Haihong to deliver the information to Ulfrik and then pass it on to the public security, but it was actually vetoed by the group of fools who thought they were smart.

They say it's too risky to leak. Raised by a group of bitches, doesn't he know that there is a risk in Amuro? Afraid of risks, what kind of intelligence do you have?

Today is the day of the handover of intelligence, and Lu will wait for him in the old place. In the case of being followed, Amuro will definitely not be stupid to lure the wolf into the room. So what to do, do you want to drive aimlessly around the streets? This looks even more suspicious, okay.

I couldn't help it, so I came to a convenience store, and Amuro got out of the car and wanted to buy something casually.

Entering the convenience store, Amuro walked to the shelves to buy some convenience food.

"Mr. Amuro? You're also here to buy something? ”

"Miss Seliang?" Looking at Sagara Masumi in surprise, who was carrying a large bag, Amuro suddenly thought of an idea.
