August 3rd, 3 p.m., Rice Flower Sun Plaza Hotel.

Zero arrives at the door of the hotel and joins Ran, Kogoro, Conan, and Sonoko, who are already waiting here.

"Good afternoon, Zero." Xiaolan said hello to Zero, "Didn't Ersan and the girl who stayed at your house come here?" ”

"Well, I bought a new game, and they're playing a new game at home."

The vast majority of the people who came to the banquet this time were police figures, and due to the murder of two policemen, the overall atmosphere of the banquet was relatively serious and dull, so Zero didn't bring Ersan and Maya over.

Everyone walked towards the hotel, and Kogoro complained as he walked: "Shiratori's sister is really good at picking the time, but she just holds a wedding on a day like this when a major case occurs." ”

Xiaolan said: "This can't be helped, I heard that the date was set a month ago, and no one would have imagined this kind of thing to happen." And it's not a wedding, it's an engagement banquet. ”

Zero has known this for a long time, after all, the invitation card is clearly written, and it is estimated that Kogoro has not read the content of the invitation very carefully. However, the day before yesterday, when Officer Shiratori invited him, he said "wedding", so it may have been just a slip of the tongue.

However, this kind of wealthy family is really not distressed to spend money, looking at today's pomp, the number of people invited is probably more than 200 people, and the amount consumed is not less than 10 million yen, and this is not an official wedding, just an engagement banquet.

Well, I just had a 2 million yen birthday party, and I don't seem to have any complaints.

Everyone came to the reception and signed their names in the autograph book. And just as Kogoro was signing, a mature woman's voice sounded: "Your words are still as ugly as ever." ”

Hearing this voice, Xiao Goro's face twitched obviously, while Xiao Lan's face was happy.

Zero didn't need to look to know that Fei Yingli was here.

Looking back, I saw that the feminine temperament that appeared in front of me was dignified and dignified, although she was in her thirties, she was still graceful and bright.

Who else could that be, not Fei Yingli?

"Mom!" Xiaolan immediately greeted Concubine Yingli.

Fei Ying responded, and then stepped forward to sign.

After signing, Fei Yingli turned her eyes to Lingzi's side: "You are Miss Kaneda Yilingzi, I am Fei Yingli, a lawyer, Mao Lilan's mother." ”

"Hello Lawyer Fei." Zero said hello while checking the other party's attributes.

Fei Yingli - Force A-, Intelligence A-, Intimacy: E+.

Fei Yingli can also be regarded as a model of both civil and military skills, in terms of force, Fei Yingli's judo technique was inherited from Maori Kogoro, in terms of intelligence, how can her intelligence, known as the queen of law, be low?

"I've seen the video of the trial at the small, medium and big school, and your performance was outstanding." Fei Yingli praised, "I didn't expect you and Xiaolan to know each other, and it seems that they are still friends?" ”

"I transferred to Didan High School last semester, and I am in the same class as Xiaolan and Yuanzi, and the relationship is quite good."

Concubine Yingli nodded, and said again: "By the way, Miss Kanedaichi, you are a detective now?" In fact, after watching the video of that trial, I think you have a lot of talent as a lawyer, so why don't you change your career to become a lawyer? You know, the prospects of being a lawyer are much better than being a detective. If you are studying law in college, I believe that it will not be a problem to take a lawyer's certificate based on your ability, so that when you graduate from university, you can directly debut as a lawyer. At that point, my office will be empty. ”

Zero didn't expect Concubine Yingli to make such a sincere invitation to herself, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, what Fei Yingli said is not wrong, being a lawyer is much more comfortable than being a detective, not to mention the rest, at least an ordinary lawyer can earn several times as much money as an ordinary detective after working for a year.

After all, lawyers have a wide range of business, and it is possible to find a lawyer to seek a solution to trivial legal disputes, from homicide incidents to trivial legal disputes.

But even so, Zero never considered becoming a lawyer, for no reason, just not interested.

Besides, the lack of money for other detectives is the business of other detectives, will Miss Ben be short of money? You must know that Miss Ben is Suzuki Sonoko's best friend...... Ahem, no, you must know that Miss Ben is a traverser plus a system to assist, how can she worry about whether she has money or not?

However, Fei Yingli warmly invited, how to refuse is a problem, it seems a little inappropriate to refuse too directly, and how to choose words has to be considered.

However, Maori Kogoro helped Zero solve this problem in time, and he directly mocked Fei Yingli: "The prospect of being a lawyer is better than being a detective? I'm afraid you're not kidding. Miss Zero, don't listen to her nonsense, she just likes to talk big. ”

"You're the one who likes to talk big, right?" Concubine Yingli sneered unceremoniously, "Otherwise, how about the two of us directly bask in the income?" Let's see who is the more profitable one? ”

"Hmph, that's stupid. The so-called prospects are not just about income. Fame and attention are the key things, you know, on a social level, my Mori Kogoro is much more famous than your concubine. ”

"It's really overwhelming, why don't you do a questionnaire to see which of the two of us has a better reputation? Just don't be so sad that you cry when you see the results. ”

Fei Yingli and Kogoro unfolded their verbal swords, you and I fought sentence by sentence, but I no longer bothered with the problem of persuading Zero to change careers, which made Zero breathe a sigh of relief.

When everyone entered the auditorium, there were already hundreds of people densely distributed everywhere in the auditorium, chatting, eating snacks on the table, or sipping the red wine in the glass. But most of them had solemn expressions, and they could barely see the festive atmosphere of the engagement ceremony.

Kogoro looked around and said, "Sure enough, most of them have a rigid face." ”

At this moment, he spotted a tall figure: "Oh, that's Minister Oda Kiri, I'll go say hello." ”

After Xiao Wulang left, Xiao Lan asked Fei Yingli, "Who is that?" ”

"Toshiro Oda, Director of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, Chief of Police. When the crappy detective was still working as a police officer, Minister Odakiri was his boss. ”

Although Toshiro Oda is already in his fifties, he has a tall posture and sharp eyes, and at first glance he looks like a jealous and hateful police elite.

Zero Zi said to Xiaolan and Concubine Yingli: "I'll go say hello too." ”

I saw that Zero also walked in the direction of Oda Kiri, who was also one of the objects who had been taken care of by his grandfather before, and was also an old acquaintance of the Kaneda family.

After Zero walked away, Fei Yingli said thoughtfully: "Do Zero and Minister Oda Kiri also know each other?" Should I say that she is worthy of being the granddaughter of Detective Kaneda Ichikosuke, the road is wide. ”

At this time, Kogoro had already finished greeting Oda Kiri, and the two were greeting each other without saying a word. Zero walked up to Oda Che and greeted, "Uncle Oda Che, it's been a long time coming." ”

"Oh...... It's zero, I didn't expect you to grow so big? Seeing a beautiful girl greeting him, Oda Kiri was stunned at first, but then recognized the other party, "I have also heard some of your deeds, and it really lives up to the name of Kaneda Ichiko's granddaughter." ”

"Where, you've won a prize." Zero said modestly as he checked the other party's data.

Toshiro Oda Kiri--Force: B-, Intelligence: B, Intimacy: D-.

Although the intelligence of the force is not particularly outstanding, it is also a good evaluation, and it can barely be called a combination of wisdom and bravery.

Zero talked to Oda Kiri again, and just as they were talking, a pompous and loud voice suddenly sounded on the side: "Oh, Minister Oda Kiri, this can't be your daughter, I haven't heard that you have such a beautiful daughter!" How about it, do you want to consider getting your daughter and my son married, and how about we form a family of sons and daughters? ”

Zero looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that the other party was an old policeman in a brown suit, a pair of brown sunglasses, and a full head of gray hair, but in good spirits. It's just that the policeman always has a cynical expression on his face, which is in stark contrast to Oda Kiri's serious image.

As soon as he saw each other, Zero's eyes froze, is this guy?

Zero's guess was not wrong, but he heard Oda Che say to the other party: "Yan Jian is correct, this is not my daughter." ”

This person is Yan Tu Haici! Previously, in the office of the small, medium and large school, it was this person who called Keisuke Itosaw and signaled that the other party would arrest Wright. And he is also the boss of a certain chapter in the original "Reversal of the Judge", and sooner or later Wright will have to fight him, but I don't know if he will be involved in the plot at that time.

Take a look at the other person's attributes.

Yan Tu Haici - Force: B, Intelligence: A, Intimacy: E-.

After all, he is a boss-level character, and his intelligence evaluation is naturally very high. As for the force, if Zero remembers correctly, he should be sixty-five years old, and his force value can still reach level B at such an age, and it seems that he was also a master when he was young.

Of course, at the age of 65, he still does not enjoy retirement and is still busy with his police post, and people who understand him naturally know that he is greedy for power, and those who do not understand still think how much he loves his job. However, Yan Haici was well disguised, and he really hated crimes other than himself, so the vast majority of people did not know his true face.

At this time, Oda Kiri continued to introduce Zero to Yan Disciple: "This one is Kaneda Ichiko, the granddaughter of the famous detective Kaneda Ichikosuke. ”

When he heard the name "Jintian Yilingzi", Yan Tu Haici's eyes instantly became sharp, but then returned to their original state. I only heard him say to Zero: "It turns out that you are Miss Kaneda Yilingzi, I have admired the name for a long time!" Oops - I didn't expect you to be such a mesmerizing beauty. I think I admired Mr. Kaneda Ichikosuke very much back then, but I never had the opportunity to see him, which is a pity! How about it, do you want to consider marrying my son and being my daughter-in-law? ”

Before Zero could reply, Oda Che had already taken the lead in saying: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, where did you come from, son." ”

"Is that so? yes, I remember—I don't have a son! Yan Tu laughed and said, "When people get old, their memory deteriorates, and they are even confused about whether they have a son or not!" Oh, it's a shame that I can't make a beautiful woman like Miss Kanedaichi my daughter-in-law! ”

Yan Tu laughed as he left the Zero Son and went to talk to the others.

When Yan Tu walked away, Xiao Tian Che said to Zero: "I'm sorry, Yan Tu is like this, he is absurd all day long. However, although his personality is a bit absurd, he is undoubtedly a good policeman, and his aura is also very terrifying when facing prisoners. ”

Is it a good cop...... Zero sneered in his heart. Of course, she won't refute Oda Kiri.
