Chapter 55: The Disappearance of the Eldest Lady
Although the reputation of the detective Kogoro is not small now, it can't be said to be a distinguished guest of the Yotsui family! With puzzled eyes, everyone looked back and forth on the bodies of Motomitsu Shitsui and Kogoro.
Motomitsu Shitsui didn't give any explanation, just walked straight in front of Kogoro. "Mr. Maori, thank you very much for coming to my little girl's birthday."
"Where, I am very happy to be invited to your Miss Lihua's birthday!" As she spoke, she glanced at the girl beside her, and Xiaolan smiled and nodded to Mitsui Yuanguang.
No matter what others think, anyway, Kogoro chatted with Motomitsu Mitsui next. From some interesting facts about their respective daughters at the beginning, to later cooperation.
As Mitsui Yuanguang, everyone could only watch from the sidelines, allowing the two to chat there. However, there are also people who have quite ideas, and they immediately came to Xiaolan and Conan's side.
The first to speak was a flattering Yizhi Takashi, who was the head of the capital transfer department of the head office of the City Bank, and his own Yizhi family had a lot of business, but he mostly relied on the Sijing family to operate.
"You're Miss Maori! It's really beautiful! My name is Takashi Ichae, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet you? Seeing his appearance, Xiaolan was slightly stunned, but still responded with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Maoliran, nice to meet you!" "Speaking of which, your father is terrible now, even if he is the number one detective in Japan, it is not an exaggeration!"
"Where, my father is not so powerful!" Although she replied modestly, Xiaolan's face could not hide a proud smile, and when she heard this, another person came over.
"This is not to praise Mr. Maori, he has solved countless cases in the past few years, and there is no one that cannot be solved, I can basically see who the murderer is when I look at his eyes at the scene."
"That's why Miss Lihua asked Mr. Maori for help!" However, before the man could continue, someone on the side spoke unhappily.
He walked up to Xiaolan and Takashi Ichiza with a slight mockery on his face. "You two's sycophants, let's keep it for him! But just like him, I really can't see what kind of detective it is! ”
Hearing the words of the visitor, Yizhi Takashi and the later person suddenly changed their faces and looked very ugly. "Mifune! What do you mean by that!? ”
Mifune smiled at the two of them, his words full of irony that could not be concealed. "What do you mean!? Do you know in your own hearts that you have to say it? ”
"Okay Mifune! You don't understand this, the mighty eagle usually puts away its claws, and when it is needed, it can kill with an accurate hit. ”
"Mr. Maori looks so ordinary, but he can solve strange cases repeatedly, it must be like this!" The visitor smiled at everyone, and then looked at Xiaolan with an inquiry.
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly embarrassed. "That's right, right?" "Hello Miss Mori, I'm Shoji Rokuta, the real estate manager of the Yotsui Foundation."
"Hello Rokuta-sama!" Looking at the tall and thin middle-aged man in front of him, Xiaolan began to chat with him, and then Rokuta Shoji introduced several people around him to Xiaolan and Conan.
At the beginning, Takashi Ichieda already knew each other, and then he was Yuji Nikaido, the head of the advertising operations department. Then there is Takuya Mifune, who mocks Kazue and Nikaido, who is the current president of Mifune Electronics Industry.
Osamu Gojo, Head of the Gojo Business Office. The work of these people is closely related to the Sijing Foundation, and it can be said that a decision of the Sijing family may directly bankrupt their family's property.
And Rika Shijing is just the right age, and she doesn't have a boyfriend. Some of them want to win greater benefits for themselves or their families by currying favor with Lihua Shijing.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way, after all, there is some self-esteem. Relying on the Yotsui consortium to survive, they can still say that they have worked hard and worked hard.
"Then again, Miss Lihua's vision is really good. She must have seen this from Mr. Maori, so she would look for him! ”
"Yes, Miss Lihua is beautiful and discerning, I don't know who will marry her in the end." There was inevitably some expectation and envy in Izchieda's words.
Hearing his words, Mifune spoke lightly. "I don't know who it will be, but he must be one of the lucky ones! Because as long as he marries Miss Lihua, he can inherit everything from the Yotsui Foundation. ”
Time passed quickly, and most of the guests had already left. Just as the banquet was about to end, a young driver ran in in a panic.
"Chairman, when I went out just now, I found that Miss Lihua's car tires were all punctured!" "What!?" Motomitsu Shitsui replied with some surprise.
"What then?" Reika Shijing's brows suddenly furrowed. Seeing her appearance, Nikaido immediately offered his courtesy. "That's good, use my Ferrari to send the eldest lady back!"
Hearing Nikaido speak first, Takashi Ichiza suddenly became anxious. "No, I'd better be my Porsche!" "It's still my Mercedes!" Gojo Shu also joined in.
But the reality was not as they wished, and the young driver said again: "Well, your car has a flat tire!" Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
If there is a problem with Rika Shijing's car, it can be said to be a coincidence, they just think it is a little strange, but when they learn that several people's cars are like this, it is different.
The people immediately ran to the garage and inspected their cars. But as the driver said, none of their cars were spared, and all of them had flat tires.
Kogoro and Conan immediately leaned over, and the two of them checked each other, and after a while, they met again. They looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Guys, the tires of your cars are obviously punctured, and they must have been done by the same person." Listening to Kogoro's words, everyone was not surprised, and it was obvious that they had already thought of something before.
After this inspection, in the entire parking lot, only President Motomitsu Mitsui and Kogoro, as well as the other two cars, were fine.
Although it is not clear what the other party's purpose is, for safety reasons, Motomitsu Shitsui proposed to let everyone go down the mountain in batches in cars with no problems.
"I don't want it! It's my birthday! How can you squeeze into someone else's car and go down the mountain!? Shijing Lihua immediately replied dissatisfiedly, not noticing Shitsui Yuanguang's ugly expression at all.
