Following Saeki to the outside of the villa, Megumi Hanada is wearing a pink evening dress, noble and elegant.

The slim-fitting dress set off her perfect figure, and with her beautiful blonde hair, it immediately attracted the attention of many people present.

"Miss Hanada, long time no see."

Before she came to the banquet hall, before she entered, Hanada Megumi heard a familiar voice stop her.

"Ah, it's Lawyer Shimada, it's been a long time."

Looking for a voice, after seeing who the other party was, Hanada Megumi replied politely - the person who came was the one who informed Hanada Megumi to return to China to receive the inheritance, lawyer Kaoru Shimada.

Seeing this, Saeki did not interfere too much, and entered the banquet hall first.

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Hanada here."

Kaoru Shimada stepped forward and asked.

"Me too."

Smiling, Hanada Kemii said.

After just a few simple pleasantries, Kaoru Shimada and Megumi Hanada walked into the banquet hall together.

In the banquet hall on the second floor, there are twelve round tables in three rows and four rows, on which are placed all kinds of food and drinks, like a buffet, for the guests present to enjoy, and several uniformed service staff are walking around with trays.

Looking at the guests who had already arrived in the banquet hall, Kaoru Shimada and Megumi Hanada did not say goodbye, so they went to greet several familiar characters among the guests.

In this regard, Hanada Megumi didn't say anything, and walked to the banquet hall alone.

"Message about Taro Asami......"

Just walked a few steps, a name that people cared about, suddenly appeared from the chat of a few people on the side, Hanada Megumi couldn't help but stop, followed the sound, and saw a man in a blue windbreaker, chatting with someone-

Interesting! It's fun! I haven't taken the initiative to come to you, but you actually gave me such a big surprise! If it weren't for the fact that you were still needed, I really couldn't help but want to destroy you quickly just because you might be someone Shirley cared about.

"Mr. Wise?"

Thinking like this, Megumi Hanada walked straight up.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wise to come here too!"

Hugging Gao Yuan's right arm, Hanada Megumi showed a sweet smile and put his face in front of the other party as much as possible-

The sound of a distinct heartbeat, a flash of fear in the pupils, a nervous look......

All the changes in expression can be seen at this moment.

"Miss Hanada?"

The other party seemed to have reacted and began to try hard to break free of the embrace, but after Megumi Hanada didn't use any more force, he no longer resisted as if he had given up, but at the same time, the other party's heartbeat, emotion, and expression were all normal.

In this regard, Hanada Megumi took the initiative to let go of his hand.

"Has Mr. Wise been invited too? I don't know. ”

Hanada Megumi said with a little surprise, and then he had an idea, leaned into Gao Yuan's ear and whispered, "Or is there any commission to come here to handle the case?" ”

"I just happened to meet an acquaintance and came over together."

Blushing slightly, Gao Yuan glanced away and said.

"That's right."

Hanada Kei said, took a step back, put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and said with a playful smile: "By the way, do you know who I met here just now?" ”

Somewhat dazed, Gao Yuan shook his head.

"It's Kaoru Shimada."

Megumi Hanada said.

"Huh? Lawyer Shimada is also there? ”

Slightly surprised, Gao Yuan said.

Standing up straight and walking to the edge of Takato, Hanada Megumi grabbed Takato's cuffs.

"Otherwise, I'll take you to him!"

With that, Hanada Megumi pulled Takato towards where Kaoru Shimada was, and Takato did not resist.

"Lawyer Shimada, long time no see."

followed Hanada Kei to Kaoru Shimada, and saw that Kaoru Shimada had just finished greeting someone, so Takato stepped forward to say hello.

"Are you...... Mr. Wise! ”

Seeing Takato and recalling it a little, Kaoru Shimada recognized who Takato was, so he responded, but at the same time, he saw Takato and Megumi Hanada coming over, and Megumi Hanada was still pulling Takato's cuffs, Kaoru Shimada couldn't help but ask curiously:

"You ......"

"I'm sorry!"

As if he was frightened, he let go of his hand, and Hanada Kei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lawyer Shimada, don't get me wrong, we just happened to meet here." ”

With that, Hanada Megumi hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"It's a surprise to meet Mr. Wise here."

Seeing that Megumi Hanada hadn't left, Kaoru Shimada couldn't help but say.

"If I had to say anything, I was surprised. Lawyer Shimada isn't from Osaka, so why did he come here? ”

Takato asked.

"It's hard to resist hospitality."

Kaoru Shimada said, "Also, there is something that I am a little curious about. ”

As he spoke, Kaoru Shimada looked at Takato and asked:

"Did you find the whereabouts of that diamond?"

As soon as the words fell, Kaoru Shimada seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said, so he added:

"Of course, I'm not skeptical about the outcome. After all, before applying for the inheritance, I found five more institutions to do five appraisals, and I can confirm that Miss Hanada's identity must be worthy of the name. Only now suddenly...... By the way, does Mr. Wise know what today's lot is? ”

Gao Yuan nodded, "If I have to say, I really can't be sure that I have found the whereabouts of the gem, and I relied more on other clues to find Miss Hanada." ”

Receiving this answer, Kaoru Shimada nodded.

"Forget it, it's been more than 20 years, and it's been a matter of fact, who knows."

Calmly, Kaoru Shimada said.

Well, it seems......

Silently, Takato looked back at Kemi Hanada, who was with Saeki not far away—it seemed that there was no need to investigate any further.

Just thinking about it, the organizer of this charity auction dinner, the owner of this villa, finally arrived.

It was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, and he was accompanied by two other people, a middle-aged man in a black suit, and a girl in her twenties.

At this moment, Gao Yuan glanced at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, which meant that the charity auction should start.

But at this time, there were still people coming in and out of the banquet hall, and the old man seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this, and after the girl next to him said something to him, he picked up the microphone in the hand of another middle-aged man and began to announce the start of the charity auction, and asked everyone present to remember to be quiet and to silence their mobile phones.

As he spoke, everyone present quieted down, and at this time, a person's mobile phone rang, and the sound was particularly obvious, so after the person was watched by others, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Now, the banquet hall is finally quiet, and the old man announces that the charity auction has begun!

After speaking, the service staff present walked around the banquet hall and turned off the lights in the hall, and the entire hall suddenly fell into darkness.

"In order to better show this lot, it is ......"

"Bang!"

In this dimly lit hall, the old man was just about to announce something, when a gunshot rang out from nowhere, and the old man's words came to an abrupt end, replaced by a groan of pain.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the banquet hall.

"Everyone, stay calm! Stand still and don't move! ”

In the crowd, someone shouted loudly, it was Nakamori Ginzo's voice.

However, as soon as the words fell, a sound of a broken window came from not far behind Gao Yuan-

"Turn on the lights! No one is allowed to leave! ”

Gao Yuan also reacted immediately, shouted, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to illuminate, ran to the entrance of the banquet hall, and stopped here.

Under Gao Yuan's reminder, the service staff turned on the lights again, and the situation in the banquet hall was only revealed to everyone at this moment-

The old man had fallen in a pool of blood.

And one of the windows in the banquet hall was shattered......
