Walking out of the bathroom and back to the venue, Conan tried his best to make his expression look natural,

Joker had done him a terrible mess.

Tsk, Kudo Shinichi can't see the newspaper, can Edogawa Conan be?

Although he has been in the newspapers more than once because he is often involved in cases, it would be too much to lose if someone linked Conan Edogawa and Kudo Shinichi because of this kind of gossip......

Forget it, wait for the matter here to end, and then communicate with your parents about this issue.

Calming down, Conan's gaze quickly roamed the field, once again locking on to the anxious swallowing Shigehiko.

“…… Can you elaborate a little bit more? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry guys, let me go."

The door to the banquet hall opened, and Officer Twilight walked into the arena with several officers, aiming for Shigehiko Toguchi, who was still surrounded by a group of reporters.

The action is quite fast, and the efficiency of the search lesson is as good as ever.

With a sigh of relief, he stood at a distance from Shigehiko Swallow, watching from a distance through the crowd.

The Twilight Police Department stepped forward and drove away the reporters who were beside Shigehiko Toguchi, before having a brief conversation with him.

The negotiation between the two people did not seem to be successful, and although Shigehiko tried his best to restrain himself, he could still see a slight disgust and impatience on his face.

This is not surprising, neither politicians nor members of the organization will have a good opinion of the police.

But with the fact that he has been active in politics for a long time, he will have such an emotional performance, I am afraid that he is too anxious.

Did the Order threaten him, or did he detect signs that the Order was going to attack him?

When Conan was still trying to analyze the current situation, he suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching the two people who were not communicating smoothly.

With supple chestnut hair and a signature soft smile, he is a wise man.

Now, anyone who tries to get close to Shigehiko Swallow can't help but pay more attention, so Conan was equally distracted and observed Wise for a moment.

Like the others who came to the memorial service, he also changed into a pitch-black formal suit, a black Italian suit and the black gloves he was used to wearing, which was much more solemn and stable than his usual clothes.

Shouldn't this be a high-end banquet in the literary world, why is he here?

You can't just follow the reporters from the TV station, right?

Recalling carefully, it seems that when Fang entered the door, Akechi Goro was the one who entered the door immediately after Swallow Mouth Shigehiko to sign in, but Conan's attention at that time was focused on Swallow Mouth Shigehiko in front of him, and only a little afterglow caught a glimpse of the impression of a familiar face.

And what was his purpose in approaching them......?

Conan, who was puzzled, couldn't help but bypass the two tables and get closer, to a distance where he could hear their approximate conversation.

“…… Appropriate protection is provided, but Mr. Swallow seems reluctant to accept it. Wise brother, do you actually know Mr. Swallowing? ”

"Ah, by chance, there was some contact." Akechi Goro understated this part, "I'll talk to him." Thank you very much. ”

"Where, trouble wiser is."

Akechi goro kept a smile and walked over to Shigehiko Swallow and whispered something.

His voice was very low, not to mention the distance of Conan, I was afraid that even the Twilight Police Department, who was standing a few steps away, should not be able to hear their conversation clearly.

Swallowing Shigehiko listened to him say a few words, small beads of sweat appeared almost visibly on his face, and his nervousness was overflowing.

Akechi Goro still has the same smile on his face, and his face with no change in curvature is in stark contrast to Shigehiko Swallowing, which is particularly fake.

Shigehiko grabbed Akechi Goro's forearm, and his voice became uncontrollably louder, faintly reaching Conan's ears: "What does it mean to be dangerous, what do you know?" Don't look disgusting, I'm asking you! ”

Akechi Goro lifted his eyelids, revealing all his amber pupils, glowing with an indifferent pale color in the light: "Let go, Mr. Swallow." You're too emotional and irrational right now, I can understand that. ”

"This ......" swallowed his mouth and gritted his teeth and glared, the green tendons on the side of his face bulging with his movements, making his bloodshot eyes even more hideous.

Shigehiko glared at the face that was close at hand, and the distorted look on his face made Conan not sure whether it was fear or anger for a moment.

This kind of animalistic expression with bared teeth is too different from the friendly image that Shigehiko likes to show in front of the public, so big that if the stupid reporters next to him raised their hands to take a picture, they might not believe that it was a person.

After a few gasps, Shigehiko swallowed and didn't say the rest of the words.

He let go of his clenched arm in disgust like garbage, then raised his hand and slapped Wise in the face.

"Wise Gentleman!"

"Wise brother!"

This sudden clash made the policemen who couldn't figure out the situation panic, and hurriedly came over and pulled the two people apart.

Swallowing Shigehiko used all his strength this time, and beat Akechi so much that everyone shook to the side.

The crisp sound attracted the attention of the people around them, not only the police, but also the waiters who were shuttling back and forth with champagne on both sides, some of them checking the sensible situation, and some of them pulled the red-faced swallowing Shigehiko back to separate the guests who were in a physical altercation.

“…… I'm fine. Akechi Gorou pressed his face, and the smile on his face did not waver in the slightest, "It's okay. Officer Twilight, Mr. Swallow has agreed, you can set up a monitoring area nearby, and he will cooperate. ”

"Oh, wise brother." The reluctant Twilight Police Department patted him on the shoulder, blocking the other guests' inquiring eyes with the broad back of his shoulders, "You have a conflict with him, you can say it directly, this is too troublesome for you." ”

"It's not your problem, I really don't have a good relationship with him, but he's in an understandable mood right now." Mingzhi stood firm with the support of the waiter beside him, and smiled generously, "You still have a task, don't worry about me, protect him first." ”

It took a long time for the officers of the search section to thank each other, and then, according to the original plan, they loosely surrounded the position where Shigehiko Swallow was standing.

The movement here has already attracted the attention of many people, and it would be better if the murderer might dismiss his plan because of this. The Twilight Police Department thought.

The thankful police officers dispersed, and their disapproving gazes kept throwing towards Shigehiko Swallow.

Only Conan, whose eyes were always fixed on Akechigoro, frowned in confusion.

When he had just swallowed his mouth, he clearly saw that Akechi Goro raised his right hand almost reflexively, as if trying to contain the opponent's attack, but in the next moment, he restrained his movements, just curled up his fingers and grabbed the hem of the suit.

It's like if you don't control yourself like this, you'll punch Swallow in the face.

Moreover, although Conan has only seen Akechi Goro's marksmanship, he has heard that the other party's physical skills are also good.

In a case of bandits pretending to be a woman being attacked at their home in an attempt to lure passers-by upstairs in a house across from them, Akechi Goro, who was nearby, subdued four tall adult men with his bare hands—these were told to him and Kogoro Mori at home as new to him and Kogoro Mori, who had witnessed the scene on his way from school.

No matter how he thinks about it, he shouldn't be easily attacked by a middle-aged man who is addicted to alcohol and has a vain body no matter how he looks.

But what is the point of his deliberate beating......

Conan, who had no idea what was going on, fell into a myth.
