"Did you call the police?"

At this time, Conan walked up to Sumimi's side, looked up at her and asked.

"Nope."

Sumimi shook her head and replied, but at the same time, Conan was also grabbed by Kogoro's ears and reprimanded:

"You stinking little ghost! Stand aside for me! Don't get in my way! ”

"Pain, pain, pain!"

Because he was forcibly pulled away by Kogoro, Conan couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Then Kogoro shouted "Koran" to Koran, and Koran hurried over and hugged Conan away from Kogoro's side.

"We haven't called the police yet!"

Daigo Miura, the organizer of the contest, also gave the same answer as Sumimi at this time.

"Huh...... Why is that? ”

Kogoro couldn't help but ask.

"The tournament is going to be held at 7 o'clock tonight. If the police had called the case, and if the police had asked for the game to be stopped, we would have to pay Mr. Suzuki, the owner of Hotel Sonoko, a very large amount of liquidated damages. And this time it was a real-time broadcast program to the whole country, and the film crew of the TV station had already entered the scene, so it was really ready to be released. ”

In the face of Kogoro's question, Daigo Miura replied eloquently.

"But...... The life of the police is at stake......"

Frowning slightly, Kogoro couldn't help but say.

"However, it is also possible that it is just a prank."

Daigo Miura said in a fluke tone.

"That being said...... However, I still think it's better to call the police......"

Saying this, Kogoro once again showed an embarrassed expression, folded his arms and pondered.

At this time, Conan, who was standing in the corner of the office and listening to the conversation, looked up at Xiaolan, pulled her sleeve, and whispered in her ear:

"Sister Xiaolan, the hotel they are talking about...... Could it be that Sister Yuanzi's father named it after her, the newly completed hotel? I remember that Sister Yuanzi also invited us to the inauguration ceremony tonight, right? ”

Listening to Conan's words, Xiaolan nodded.

"And it was Hua Lian herself who asked not to stop the game."

Sitting on the sofa, Shou Hualian's mother, Shou Meiling spoke.

"Oh? Did your daughter decide for herself? ”

Kogoro, who was at a loss to close his eyes and be troubled, heard this, immediately opened his eyes and looked at her, asking for confirmation.

"Yes......"

Sumisuzu nodded deeply and affirmed.

"But why would your daughter do this?"

Kogoro asked with some curiosity.

"Hua Lian is a child who hopes to win the World Championship. She herself knows this very well. How do you think she could have done something stupid to stop the tournament for her own reasons? This tournament is an indispensable step for Hua Lian to get a ticket to enter the world, so that she will not let any accidents hinder him. ”

Sumisuzu said anxiously, but took out a cigarette from her gorgeous golden handbag, lit it, and smoked it.

"That's right......"

Kogoro was overwhelmed by this mother's momentum and couldn't help but say.

"Yes, I also heard her say this, so I didn't call the police."

Daigo Miura nodded in agreement, and at the same time showed a "just what I want" expression. But when Kogoro looked at him again, he quickly lowered his head again.

"The reward will definitely not be less."

Sumisuzu swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, while looking at Kogoro, and said very casually.

"I'll leave it all to you."

Sumimi also bowed solemnly.

"En......"

In response, Kogoro folded his arms again and closed his eyes in contemplation.

"We have long known about Mr. Maori's glorious deeds from various news sources across the country! The beauties who have won beauty contests all over the country are also looking forward to your visit! If you go, they will feel safer! ”

Miura, the organizer of the contest, interjected again, and his words made Kogoro's left eyebrow twitch.

"You mean...... Beautiful women from all over the country? ”

Kogoro was obviously moved by this, and couldn't help but show unconcealed joy and said.

"Well, the contest is to select one of the beauties gathered from all over the world to give the title of Miss Zephyr, so they are all girls who have won the first place in various large-scale competitions across the country!"

Daigo Miura nodded as he spoke.

"Yes, that's what I said."

Laughing, Kogoro chimed in:

"I see...... There's really no way, it's also a detective's duty to protect weak women! ”

Kogoro suddenly stood up and held out his right hand to Miura.

"Ahh Thank you so much! ”

Daigo Miura also immediately stood up and shook Kogoro's hand with both hands.

"Thank you."

Sumisuzu just thanked her in a cold tone and stood up, while Sumimi on the side bowed deeply.

"Well, then, let's go to the venue now."

Daigo Miura urged.

"yes, tonight we're going to reveal who's the most beautiful woman!"

Pretending to be deep, Kogoro couldn't help but say.

"Eun, yes."

Laughing, Daigo Miura replied.

"It's so exciting!"

Listening to Daigo Miura's words, Kogoro Thief laughed:

"Please walk slowly."

Xiaolan, who was standing by the door and saw off the group, said politely.

"Huh?"

After Daigo Miura saw Xiaolan, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"It's so beautiful......

His eyes widened.

"What?"

Kogoro and Koran were stunned for some reason.

"Mr. Maori, your daughter is so beautiful, she is amazingly beautiful......"

Daigo Miura explained.

"Haha, there is nothing."

Kogoro hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, please come and participate in the next competition, listen to me, yes!"

Daigo Miura said in a tricky way, and at the same time stretched out his hairy hand to touch Xiaolan's hair.

"Ahh

Xiaolan screamed, and at the same time, her fist was already embedded in Miura Daigo's fat stomach.

"Hmm......"

Mipu Daigo groaned and fell to his knees.

This is Xiaolan's instinct, using karate to "entertain" Miura Daigo.

"It hurts, it hurts......"

Daigo Miura couldn't help but hold his stomach and shrink to the ground and moan.

Sumisuzu and Sumimi were stunned by this scene.

"Hey! Xiaolan, what are you doing! ”

Seeing this, Kogoro hurriedly helped Daigo Miura.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But ......"

Xiaolan wanted to argue, but when she saw Daigo Miura holding her stomach, she swallowed her words again.

"Ahh Don't look at me like this, I'm also a third-dan judo, and I don't even have any room for resistance. Ha ha...... Pain and pain......"

Daigo Miura smiled weakly as he covered his stomach with his hands.

"I'm so sorry to raise such a rough daughter to make you laugh. Women should still be like Miss Zephyr's contestants, docile and demure! ”

Kogoro said with a haha.

"Haha, Mr. Mori, you'll be able to meet a lot of these girls later!"

Daigo Miura said as he reluctantly stood up with the help of Kogoro.

"Really? But what if they all fall for me? Hahaha......"

After hearing this, Kogoro couldn't help but laugh proudly.

"How could there be such a thing......

Conan stood behind Kogoro and muttered quietly.

And just as everyone was going down the stairs, Daigo Miura didn't know what to say in Kogoro's ear.

As a result, Kogoro immediately laughed, and couldn't help but say:

"Haha, you're really kidding."

"I'm telling the truth."

Daigo Miura said with some seriousness.

"Huh......"

When Kogoro heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. But at this moment, he stepped on a staircase under his feet—

"Ahh

Kogoro's body stayed in the air for a moment, then he rolled downstairs on his back, and then with a dull sound, he fell heavily into the aisle below.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Kogoro screamed, his face contorting in pain, and large beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Ahh

Misuzu and Mimi, who saw this on the stairs, screamed.

"Ambulance, call an ambulance!"

"Yes!"

Oura shouted loudly, and Xiaolan answered as she ran back to the office and picked up the phone......

"So, because Mr. Maori fell down the stairs and cracked his ankle bone, he couldn't finish tonight's bodyguard work, so Miss Xiaolan wanted me to become Miss Shou Hualian's bodyguard instead?"

On the phone, after listening to Xiaolan's account of the causes and consequences, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say.

"yes."

On the phone, Xiaolan said affirmatively:

"The doctor said it would take at least three weeks for my dad to recover...... But because of the urgency, Mr. Miura and the others didn't have time to find a bodyguard, so I had to come to Mr. Ake...... Moreover, Mr. Wise must have been invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new Garden Hotel tonight, right? ”

"Hey! Have it? ”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan said with a look of surprise.

"Huh? Didn't you? ”

Xiaolan also showed great surprise on the phone and said:

"I obviously heard the garden say in school today, tonight's invitation has been sent to Mr. Wise? Even the invitation letter with Xiao Ai and Dr. Asa was attached...... Didn't Mr. Wise receive it? ”

"Huh? Sent it to me, huh? ”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but run out of Dr. Asasa's house, hurried to the mailbox in front of his house, and opened the mailbox-

I saw that a delicately packaged envelope was lying quietly inside-

Because the envelope was completely stuffed into the mailbox, and he didn't have the habit of checking the mailbox outside the house on weekdays, Gao Yuan didn't realize that the envelope had been placed inside.

If it weren't for Xiaolan's phone call, Gao Yuan would have almost missed this invitation-

But, then again, why didn't the garden tell herself beforehand?

"Oh! I did receive the invitation...... We'll be here on time...... As for serving as Miss Shou Hualian's bodyguard, I will help as much as I can! ”

Gao Yuan opened the envelope and saw three excellent paper invitations inside, so he replied to Xiaolan on the phone and accepted the commission......
