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

Reika Shitsui, who is the center of the banquet, has not yet appeared, and the guests are 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, chewing and muttering to Moriran, "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 come along, and my dad is going to the concert tonight, and if I leave, no one will cook for him." ”

Conan laughed twice in agreement.

As soon as he thought that Mao Lilan was going out with Suzuki Sonoko, he couldn't put his mind at ease, after all, the eldest lady of the Suzuki family was either flirting with the man, or on the way to the flirtatious man - she was born and didn't dress up well, and the boys she tried to hook up with would eventually fall in love with Mori Lan.

Mao Lilan was not interested in accosting a handsome guy, and seeing that Suzuki Sonoko began to look for a target again, she pulled people and whispered persuasion

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

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Sonoko Suzuki and Reika Yotsui didn't deal with each other very well, she waved her hand disdainfully, and shared gossip with her sisters

This kind of rhetoric is also used to hide from the elders who don't know, as well as those in different circles. In fact, Mitsui has already had a boyfriend, whoa, it's the peacock over there. ”

She raised her chin and nodded at a brown-haired young man in the distance.

Nikaido Yuji actually looks not bad, but the men who already have a partner automatically lose their handsome aura in the eyes of Suzuki Sonoko, not to mention that his personality is a little exaggerated, not a dish of Suzuki Sonoko.

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

"Hehe......" The corners of Conan's mouth twitched twice, thank you, for helping me find so many rivals.

But soon he was relieved - fortunately, Xiaolan was not a Yan dog, and she was not interested in other people...... Hey?

"Sister Xiaolan, where are you going?"

Conan grabbed Maorilan, 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 person sitting on the sofa with his back to them, only half of the back of his head exposed, "Look at that...... Like Mr. Shiraishi? ”

“？”

Conan looked at the back of his head, no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary head...... What did you recognize? ”

"Just now he took a magazine from the book stand next to him, and I saw a side face." Mao Lilan walked over again, it was quite interesting to meet acquaintances on such an occasion, and at the same time she was a little curious, she didn't understand how Shiraishi was here.

Sonoko Suzuki and Conan hurriedly followed, and several people turned to the side of the sofa and secretly looked at it, and it was really him.

"Ritsuki!"

A gust of wind blew, Mao Lilan panicked and pressed the hem of the skirt blown by the wind, and when he raised his head again, Suzuki Sonoko had already sat next to Shiraishi at a teleportation speed, and grabbed his arm, "It's really you!" ”

The person who was being dragged shook for a moment, fell to the other side, leaned on the arm of the sofa, and the magazine in his hand also clicked to the ground.

“……”

Suzuki Sonoko held a pair of dead fish eyes, silently withdrew his hand, and cleared his throat, "It's all to blame for Lika Shijing, and she didn't ventilate the banquet hall, the air is so dull, no wonder Ritsu will fall asleep." ”

Mao Lilan sighed worriedly, "I don't know if he went to the hospital to see it, but fortunately this time it 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, was also tired at the moment and sighed. Wasn't this guy still on his diagonal before, when did he sneak up here, it's rare that he has been on the sofa for so long, and he is still seen.

When he first discovered this very eye-catching combination of two girls with a child, Shiraishi's first reaction was "Sure enough, there is another task", and the second reaction was that the banquet was too boring, so you could go and say hello and kill time with a casual chat.

But as he walked, he suddenly simulated a topic that might be discussed later, and then paused silently.

…… He, a person who seems to be a civilian, is actually a civilian, and only the person who is set to be a rich second generation, suddenly appears at the banquet of the Mitsui Group, and he will definitely be asked why he came here.

And then it is possible to discuss the "Shiraishi Group" that Shiraishi himself does not know, and it would be too embarrassing if Suzuki Sonoko showed that he knew more about the Shiraishi family's industry than he did.

Shiraishi had also thought about finding out information before, but the "basic mother" was very penny-apart from informing him of the banquet and sending him an invitation, she didn't communicate much with Shiraishi.

By the time Shiraishi had a question to ask and called back, her phone was already unreachable.

In short, for various reasons, the moment he realized that he had been discovered by Maoliran, Shiraishi decisively "fell asleep".

…… Since accepting the drowsiness scenario, everything has become more convenient - want to avoid asking questions? Go to bed. Want to escape the nag? Go to bed. Want to make an excuse to find coolies? Go to bed.

The only fly in the ointment is that after discovering that he was "asleep", the other three did not leave, and Suzuki Sonoko sat down and did not get up.

When Mao Lilan went to get a drink, she picked up the magazine that Shiraishi had just dropped on the ground, opened it and flipped through a few pages, and found that it was something she was not interested in, so she casually put the book on the coffee table.

Then she held her cheeks and stared at Shiraishi's face, holding back the urge to take out her camera and take a sneak peek, while alerting, "How could Ritsuki come to this kind of banquet?" Shouldn't I be here to fish for rich daughters? ”

"It's because of those troublesome family friendships." Conan sat next to him and dug into a bite of jelly, and replied casually as he ate.

After being a detective for so long, answering questions has become his reflex

"Baishi's family is relatively special, and his parents are doing their own things, and they are not willing to inherit the industry of the previous generation, so so far, the leader of Baishi Group is still Baishi's grandfather."

This was all found out by Dr. Toasa before

Originally, the social representative of the younger generation was another person named Shinji Shiraishi, but he started studying in the United States last year, and now he is the only one in Tokyo. So when he received the invitation of the Four Wells Group, his family sent him - it should be like this. ”

"Oh, I do remember the name Shinji Shiraishi, but I don't have any impression of him, he must not look like Ritsuri......" Suzuki Sonoko nodded solemnly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "...... You little kid, how do you know this? ”

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

"If you care so much about this kind of thing at a young age, you will definitely become the kind of scumbag who cheats young and cute girls in order to inherit the family property."

Suzuki Sonoko was very speechless, and knocked a finger on the door of his head, "Also, call my brother in the future!" Ritsuki is still so young! ”

“……”
