"Huh? What about Uncle Maori? Where did he go? ”

Just when Gray Hara couldn't bear it anymore and was almost crushed by the tension and anxiety in his heart, in the dressing room room behind the two, Suzuki Sonoko pulled Suzuki Ayako and Mao Lilan out with him.

"Mr. Maori, he's going to the guest house first." Qing Shui Jing got up when she heard this, turned to the three of them and said with a smile.

"Whew...... Huh...... also as he got up, Gray Plains, who was sitting next to him, breathed a sigh of relief.

[This person, such a strong aura......]

Only then did she notice that a lot of sweat had oozed from her palms.

"Hey-uncle, he's really anxious......" didn't notice the slightest abnormality, and Suzuki Sonoko complained slightly.

At this time, the three of them each changed into a beautiful dress, among which Suzuki Ayako was the most dignified, Suzuki Sonoko was the most conservative, and as for Mao Lilan, she was fooled by Suzuki Sonoko to wear a low-cut dress that best reflected her charm.

"How's it going, brother-in-law? Looks good, right? Sonoko Suzuki raised her hand and spun around with a smile in front of Shizuzu.

"Well, it's good."

After saying a very perfunctory answer in a serious tone, Shimizu Jing turned her head to look at Ayako Suzuki who was standing beside her, and the two looked at each other, and each saw the smile in the other's eyes.

"Tsk! It's so perfunctory! ”

Sticking her tongue out at him, Sonoko Suzuki shifted her gaze to Moriran, who was still a little shy beside her, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, sure enough, our Xiaolan is the most beautiful......"

"Really, really?" It may be that he is dressed a little more revealing than usual, which makes Maolilan very shy.

"Haha! That's okay! Xiaolan, you are in good shape! It's a pity that your 'husband', if he is here now, he can also see such a ~ cute orchid sauce! Sonoko Suzuki teased.

"Husband or something, there's no such thing, don't talk nonsense in the garden......" Knowing who she was referring to, Mao Lilan's face instantly turned red.

"Uh-huh? What am I talking about? Could it be that I remember the wrong person? Why don't you talk to me? ”

"You're going away......"

"Jingjun, what about the three children?"

Ayako Suzuki, who was on the side, suddenly noticed that the three little ones in the junior detective group seemed to be missing.

"They came out before you did, and they went out to play on their own." Qing Shui Jing opened her mouth to explain.

"If you let the three of them run out like this, will it ......?"

"Don't worry, that Miss Awara told me before that there are security guards everywhere in this cultural tourism area, and they will be fine."

Saying this, Qing Shui Jing looked at a few people, smiled and said, "Okay, the time is almost up, let's go to the guest house together?" ”

"Good!"

“……”

At this time, in the guest house, although it was not yet the time for the official start of the banquet, many people had already gathered in the hall.

Everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes, gathered in twos and threes, and talked to each other in harmony.

"It's really ......"

Only Mori Kogoro, who didn't know everyone present, could only stand alone in the corner with a glass of red wine.

"How long will those imps be? It's a grinding......"

"You're Mr. Maori?"

Just as Mori Kogoro was grumbling, a beautiful woman suddenly walked beside him.

The woman has short black curly hair and is wearing a black dress, and her appearance is very beautiful, and she looks very intellectual.

"Compared to the photo, your real person is really much more magnificent......"

was accosted by such a beauty, at this moment Maori Kogoro seemed to be suddenly stagnant even breathing, and he hurriedly asked:

"Thank you, thank you, may I ask ...... you?"

"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." Smiling apologetically, Kiyoko Igarashi replied: I am the host of this celebration, Kiyoko Igarashi. ”

"Oh! It turns out that you are the person who sent me the invitation! ”

Suddenly, a warm smile appeared on Mori Kogoro's face.

"Oops, oops! Thank you so much for your hospitality! ”

"I'm supposed to thank you."

In the face of Maori Kogoro's enthusiasm, Kiyoko Igarashi still has a decent smile on her face.

"It's an honor for a celebrity like you to come to this celebration, which shows that our project has been a success."

"Hahaha! Where, where! The contemptible is just a slightly famous detective......" Mori Kogoro laughed out loud as he was touted.

"You don't have to be presumptuous...... So, Detective Maori, I'm going to say hi to the other guys next, and we'll see you later? ”

"Good! See you later! ”

The corners of his mouth were almost grinning behind his ears, and Maori Kogoro smiled and waved goodbye to Kiyoko Igarashi with a look of infatuation.

"Ms. Igarashi, what a beautiful beauty......"

"Daddy!"

Suddenly, Maoliran's voice rang out coldly behind him.

"Xiao, Xiaolan?!"

Taken aback, Mori Kogoro looked back and found his daughter standing behind him, her hands on her hips, glaring at him with an unkind face.

The Suzuki family was also there, and among them, Suzuki Sonoko was covering her mouth and looking at him with a grin.

"You, when did you come?" Mori Kogoro asked subconsciously.

"Who is that woman just here? Did you just have a good conversation? Maolilan still glared at him.

"Ahaha! It's Ms. Igarashi, the one who sent me the invitation......"

"Really, on this occasion, you should also pay attention to your own image......

Seeing that Maori Kogoro was about to show a look of infatuation again, Maori Lan sighed helplessly.

"By the way, when exactly is the banquet going to start?" Looking at the gradually growing crowd in the hall, Sonoko Suzuki asked suspiciously.

"It's twelve o'clock at noon, and the time is almost up." Qing Shui replied quietly.

As he spoke, he went to the table next to him and brought a few glasses of red wine over and handed them to everyone.

"That's right, then I'll go and get those little ghosts back, but don't wait for the banquet to start, and they haven't seen anyone yet......" Suzuki Sonoko said after thinking for a while.

"Huh? Garden, I'll go with you. Seeing this, Maolilan proposed.

"It's okay, you guys play slowly, I'll be back soon."

"Then you want to come back soon?"

"Got it~" Rejected Moriran with a smile, Suzuki Sonoko turned around and left the hall quickly.

With Suzuki Sonoko leaving, several people thought that the next thing was to quietly wait for the banquet to start, but they didn't expect to meet an acquaintance who was not familiar here.

"Ah, isn't this a Maori detective? Did you also receive an invitation? ”

With a burst of laughter, Yoko Okino walked over with a glass of red wine and a smile.
