In the banquet hall of the hotel, hundreds of round tables covered with pure white tablecloths are lined up, and the tables are neatly arranged with high-end tableware made in Europe, silver knives and forks of various sizes, and in the center of the table there are cute flower arrangements of different colors.

"Wow-"

Seeing this luxurious atmosphere, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh.

"Such a beautiful chandelier, shining like the sun......"

Seeing the dazzling light of the huge crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling, even Xiao Wai couldn't help but sigh.

And looking around, Dr. Asasa couldn't help but say:

"The TV station staff has already entered the venue."

At this time, in the banquet hall, many sweaty staff members were debugging the cameras around and connecting long wires to various mechanical equipment, and they were very busy.

At first glance, there are about 50 people on the TV station...... It's not surprising that this is a nationwide show, but it's easy for inmates to get mixed in......"

Conan muttered quietly as he stared at each staff member one by one, as if trying to confirm them.

"I still can't figure it out, though."

The garden said to Xiaolan, who was admiring the luxurious venue.

"Hey, don't you understand something?"

Xiaolan asked puzzled.

"Xiaolan, you obviously invited Mr. Wise to accept the commission, why did you still agree to them to be the bodyguard?"

The garden asked strangely.

And Gao Yuan, who heard this, couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said curiously:

"Miss Xiaolan? Do you also want to be Miss Shou Hualian's bodyguard? ”

In this regard, Xiaolan smiled helplessly, and Conan helped explain:

"Because of the situation at that time, if Sister Xiaolan didn't agree directly, Uncle Maori would still insist on protecting the beauty even if he broke a bone. As for Brother Wise, when Sister Xiaolan came back to her senses, she remembered that she could ask Brother Wise, but at that time, Sister Xiaolan had already promised them. ”

"Ahaha...... It's really like Uncle Maori's style. However, that would only make the injury worse, so Xiaolan accepted it. ”

Yuan Zi immediately said in understanding.

"Actually, Sister Xiaolan knocked down the organizer of the judo three-dan competition in the detective agency, so the other party asked her. Isn't it, Sister Lan? ”

Conan said with a smile.

"The organizer of the contest refers to Mr. Miura?"

Yuanzi said with wide eyes.

"En, En, ......"

Xiaolan, who felt a little embarrassed, responded vaguely.

"Ah, I'd love to see that. I heard that the pervert uncle relied on his position as the organizer of the competition and the chairman of the competition jury to attack the girls who participated. ”

The garden said this, and couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Oh, that's right."

Conan echoed in agreement, and at the same time couldn't help but nod, agreeing very much with the judgment that Mr. Miura was a pervert uncle.

"But why does even Xiaolan want to participate in this competition?"

The garden asked again.

In this regard, both Takato and Dr. Asa felt a little incredible.

"I originally refused, but the organizer, Mr. Miura, said that if I could participate in the competition, I would be able to stay with Miss Hua Lian to protect her even when I was in the lounge......"

"It does make sense......

After listening to Xiaolan's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nod and said:

"If someone who is also a contestant is a bodyguard, it is really very deceptive."

In this regard, Xiaolan also continued:

"There happened to be a Miss Rose who wasn't feeling well, so I took her place."

"Miss Rose? It's a good match with Xiaolan. ”

Yuan Zi couldn't help but laugh.

"There's no such thing. Is it really okay for someone like me to stand on the stage......"

Xiao Lan looked around the wide banquet hall again and said with some trepidation.

"Indeed, it's like a concert hall stage."

Looking at the huge stage in the venue, even Dr. Asasa showed a nervous expression.

"If it was Xiaolan, maybe she would have won unexpectedly...... It's okay, don't worry, I'll tell you all about the judging process. ”

Yuan Zi happily patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Thank you, Garden."

Receiving such encouragement, Xiaolan couldn't help but thank.

"There's actually nothing troublesome about this kind of competition, it's just walking back and forth on the stage in a dress. Speaking of the talent show, as long as Xiaolan poses karate, everyone will be surprised. It's just that...... If you don't practice your walking posture, it won't be good. However, your motor nerves are so good that if you look at it once, you will definitely remember it immediately. ”

Yuan Zi couldn't help but say.

"I ...... Can it really work? ”

Listening to the narration of the garden, Xiaolan lowered her head and said a little unconfidently.

"Yes, I'll remember it after watching it once."

The garden replied with some smugness.

"Hey, you ...... too?"

This time, even Conan was surprised by Sonoko's words and couldn't help blurting out.

To this, the garden smiled and explained:

"Of course! I will participate in this contest as 'Miss Suzuki Foundation'. ”

"Huh? Isn't that just taking advantage of the privilege of the owner's daughter this time? ”

Conan put on an unbearable expression and said helplessly.

"It's verbose! What do you little devil know! ”

The garden glared at Conan viciously, and said with some anger:

"Although I couldn't make up my mind until just now, I made up my mind after listening to Xiaolan's words."

"Can't make up your mind?"

Gao Yuan said curiously.

"Yes. Because this hotel is named after me, my dad told me to definitely attend. But I'm a little resistant to being used as a prop for his propaganda. However, you can't leave the object of the threatening letter to Xiaolan alone. ”

The garden said categorically.

"I'm glad you think so...... But this is no joke. ”

Xiaolan looked at the garden solemnly.

"I know. Xiaolan wants to protect that Miss Hua Lian, but you will be protected by me. ”

Yuan Zi said seriously:

"After all, even Mr. Wise can't always protect Miss Hua Lian. If Mr. Wise can't get there right away, then I'll have to protect you! ”

As he spoke, Yuan Zi shook his head with a sigh and couldn't help laughing:

"Originally, I shouldn't have done this kind of thing. But who made your husband Shinichi a mysterious person who doesn't know where he is now, so I, as a friend, will protect you. ”

"Garden, Garden, Garden......"

Looking at Yuanzi's serious expression, Xiaolan couldn't help but be moved to tears.

In this regard, Dr. Asasa, who was listening to this conversation next to him, quietly pulled Conan to the corner of the audience, and Xiao Ai couldn't help but smile faintly and followed.

"What are you doing, what are you doing......"

Conan looked at the two of them with some surprise and couldn't help asking.

"Is that good? Don't even make a phone call? ”

Xiao Ai looked at Conan and said with a light smile.

"Why are you calling?"

Conan was puzzled, and his sentence stumbled a little.

"Why are you so sluggish, Kudo...... No matter how strong Miss Xiaolan is, she is still a girl, and I think she must be very uneasy now...... After all, Gao Yuan is in Miss Xiaolan's heart, but she can't replace you! ”

Xiao Ai explained.

"That's right, Shinichi."

Ah Li also agreed with Xiao Ai's words and nodded seriously.

"I see, I'll make a call to the head office later, right?"

Conan looked at the two of them depressedly and muttered.

"Ahh

was teased by Xiao Ai like this, even Conan was a little cringe.

"Hey, Garden, who's the puppet on stage?"

Xiaolan pointed to the young man with clear facial features who was making the puppet move on the stage and asked.

"Ah, you noticed! It's handsome, isn't it? He is a world-class puppeteer, Mr. Shoichi Amano. ”

Yuan Zi couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh! I've seen him on TV too. Whether it's a marionette or a mechanical puppet, even Yoshita can manipulate it freely. He uses a variety of puppets so that everyone can enjoy a variety of wonderful performances. ”

Dr. Asasa said as he looked at Shoichi Amano, who was standing on the stage.

"Yes, the puppets he manipulated were all made by himself. I invited him here today to do an afterglow for everyone while the judges were grading Miss Zephyr. ”

The garden explained.

"Oh...... That's really exciting. ”

Dr. Asasa smiled.

"Marionette ......"

At this time, Conan and Takato cared about this word at the same time, and couldn't help but look intently at Shoichi Amano, who was operating the puppet on the stage-

"I always feel that there is a sense of déjà vu ......"

Slightly helpless, Gao Yuan sighed.

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

Conan said in the same way.

"What?"

Yuan Zi listened to the words of the two and asked a little blankly.

"Kuyo Health ......"

In a light tone, Gao Yuan said the name.

In this regard, the garden immediately waved his hand and hurriedly said:

"What are you talking about! Kubo is Kubo, Amano is Amano...... Although in a sense, they are very similar, but you can't doubt him because of this! After all, talented people are often similar! ”

Saying this, Xiaolan saw the wall clock on the wall and suddenly exclaimed:

"Oops, it's all time. Garden, we should go to Miss Hua Lian's preparation room. ”

Xiaolan, who looked at the clock on the wall, got anxious.

"Ah, that's bad."

Sonoko nodded and hurriedly ran in the direction of the elevator. And Gao Yuan, Conan and others also hurriedly followed behind them.

After entering the elevator together, Yuan Zi pressed the button on the twentieth floor.

"Xiaolan, I asked them to arrange your lounge with Hua Lian's, and be in the same special suite as me. But that person is a little difficult to get along with. ”

The garden took advantage of this time to explain.

"Huh? Why can't you get along? ”

Xiaolan asked.

"For example, if you only eat organic vegetables, don't eat fruits that are not domestic...... Even the dim sum is made by the chef according to her dim sum recipe. ”

"That's ......"

Listening to Yuanzi's words, a trace of uneasiness appeared on Xiaolan's face......
