The banquet has not yet started, but most of the guests at the banquet venue have already arrived. This is a banquet hosted by Suzuki Jirokichi. Looking at the face of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, not many people dare to be late. They would rather arrive early than be stuck in time.
"Hey, isn't this 'Itinerant Actor Yuki'! Isn't the scenery of the small town outside Tokyo beautiful? After staying there for a long time, are you not used to the dirty urban Tokyo?"
Yakushiji Ryoko, who entered first, saw Yukiko Muromachi arriving, put her hands on her hips, and immediately showed a mocking smile.
Although she had been kicked out of the Metropolitan Police Department by clever pretexts before, Ryoko Yakushiji went to the romantic city of Paris in the name of collaborative work, and finally returned home in triumph with several outstanding achievements. She thought she was better than before. Muromachi Yukiko, who went to the countryside outside Tokyo, was much more powerful, so she used this incident to tease her as soon as they met.
Ryoko Yakushiji and Yukiko Muromachi have been rivals since college. Just like the relationship between a bad girl in school and the disciplinary committee member, it can be said that they are incompatible.
"I won't be used to being around you."
Muromachi Yukiko pushed up her glasses and faced Yakushiji Ryoko's ridicule indifferently.
"you……"
There seemed to be a fire behind Ryoko Yakushiji. Junichiro Izumida, who was standing behind him, was so frightened that he immediately took three steps back.
Just now, Yakushiji Ryoko asked whether Muromachi Yukiko might not be used to the dirty urban area. As a result, Muromachi Yukiko said that she was not used to the place where Yakushiji Ryoko was. This was not a roundabout way of calling Yakushiji Ryoko a dirty city. Things? How angry this made her!
"Senior Izumita, have the two of them always been like this?"
Okita Sougo asked Izumida Junichiro in a low voice.
"Yes..." Junichiro Izumida said with a bitter smile, "You can even expect a Japanese and a Korean to praise each other, but you definitely can't expect them to get along peacefully after meeting."
"so serious?"
Hearing Junichiro Izumida's metaphor, even Okita Sougo was surprised. What kind of sworn hatred is this!
The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of many people around them. After all, both of them were rare and stunning beauties, and even when they quarreled, they were still beautiful.
But they only dared to look at it. After all, both Ryoko Yakushiji and Yukiko Muromachi were both celebrities in Japan's upper class society, and they were also people who should never be messed with. For the sake of their own lives, just admire them from a distance. , but don’t even think about it!
"Miss Sakurako, Miss Yakushiji and Miss Muromachi are quarreling again. Why don't you go up and persuade them?"
Sayu Ogiwara, who was wearing a light blue dress, asked Sakurako Kujo.
In the Metropolitan Police Department, the supporters of Yakushiji Ryoko and Muromachi Yukiko are two distinct groups, just like Tai Chi, but it is not a complete Tai Chi, but half of Tai Chi. Yakushiji Ryoko is that point, and Muromachi Yuki The sub is the other part besides the point.
Kujo Sakurako is the only person who has a good relationship with both Yakushiji Ryoko and Muromachi Yukiko. If the two of them quarrel, Kujo Sakurako can probably persuade them.
"Well, no." Kujo Sakurako, who stood tall and was receiving the attention of many male guests, refused without hesitation, "These two people will not come to the banquet casually. They should both come with their own purposes. It would be wrong to argue when they meet. They're used to it, but they won't keep arguing. They're not the kind of people who forget their own goals just for the sake of the moment...probably?"
"Is it really okay?" Ogiwara Sayu asked worriedly, and then looked at Kujo Sakurako with suspicion, "Isn't it because you don't want to cause trouble, Ms. Sakurako?"
"I, I'm not that kind of unreliable adult!" Sakurako Kujo turned her head to the side with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at Sayu Ogiwara.
Sayu Ogiwara sighed, knowing that Miss Sakurako didn't even bother to pay attention to things other than bones.
Kujo Sakurako turned her head to one side and her eyes suddenly lit up. She pulled Sayu Ogiwara and whispered: "Sayu, when the banquet officially starts later, you can secretly help me cut some cakes over there. I want you to On the strawberry layer, remember not to let Shotaro see it, otherwise he will miss me again..."
Sayu Ogiwara looked in the direction pointed by Sakurako Kujo. A nine-story fruit cake stood there. Each layer was covered with a kind of water ghost, which looked quite spectacular.
Apart from bones, the thing that attracts Kujo Sakurako the most is sweets. However, when she was in Hokkaido, Grandma Zemei, who took care of Kujo Sakurako, was very strict with her and only allowed her to eat a few sweets every day. After arriving in Tokyo, Kujo Sakurako thought she could fly as high as the sky, but Shotaro Tatewaki took over the responsibility of supervising Kujo Sakurako's daily diet and behavior, which made Kujo Sakurako's life a bit miserable.
This time at the banquet, the food will be self-service. Tatewaki Shotaro will definitely keep an eye on Kujo Sakurako to get the food, so she will secretly trick Chen Cang into not getting the food herself and ask Ogiwara Sayu to help her, and then she will take the opportunity. Avoiding Shotaro Tatewaki's sight, he meets Sayu Ogiwara in a remote exchange and takes the strawberry cake from her.
This plan is perfect!
"Okay, Miss Sakurako." Sayu Ogiwara said helplessly. After all, it was the request of her great benefactor who adopted her. She really couldn't refuse, but she still added, "But if you are discovered by Shotaro, you can't Surrender me!"
"No problem!" Kujo Sakurako and Ogiwara Sayu high-fived each other. After they finished, they wiped the transparent colorless liquid from the corners of their mouths without much ambition.
Tonight, I want to achieve dessert freedom!
The high-fives between the two caught the attention of Shotaro Tatewaki, who was looking around. He turned to look at Sakurako Kujo and Sayu Ogiwara: "What are you two doing?"
"It's nothing, we are just praising how luxurious this banquet is. It is worthy of being a big chaebol in Tokyo. It is different. There is no comparison in Hokkaido!"
Kujo Sakurako explained hurriedly.
"Oh, really..." Shotaro Tatewaki nodded. It was his first time to participate in such a high-end banquet, and he couldn't help but look around just now.
Suddenly, Tatewaki Shotaro seemed to remember something, and said to Kujo Sakurako very seriously: "By the way, Miss Sakurako, you should not eat too much for a while, especially sweets. My mother-in-law has specially told you that you Don’t make it difficult for me!”
"Okay, okay, I know, Shotaro, you really don't mind the trouble..." Kujo Sakura turned her head away from looking at Shotaro Tatewaki with a guilty conscience. At the same time, she signaled with her eyes to Sayu Ogiwara, please don't break the appointment for a while. ah!
I will, Miss Sakurako!
Sayu Ogiwara nodded firmly.
The guests had almost arrived, and Suzuki Sonoko led Mao Lilan and others in at this time, and their arrival also attracted the attention of the guests.
Firstly, Suzuki Sonoko is the host of the banquet, so she certainly deserves more attention. Secondly, the girls who accompanied her are all rare super beautiful girls. Although they are still young, they are not as attractive as the three mature beauties present. , but the youthful atmosphere is what the three mature beauties lack, and there are many people who like this among the guests present.
"Wow, Garden, there are so many guests..."
Mao Lilan, who was wearing a long red dress, attended a high-society banquet for the first time. She said nervously to Suzuki Sonoko next to her.
"Well, Uncle Jiroji seems to be very confident that he can defeat 'Kid' this time, so he invited many people to watch the show." Suzuki Sonoko said nonchalantly.
"I hope your uncle can really beat 'Kid' this time, otherwise it will be a big loss."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with some worry.
Originally, she would not side with either the Phantom Thief or the rich man, but since Suzuki Jirokichi is Suzuki Sonoko's uncle, she unprincipledly sides with Suzuki Jirokichi.
"By the way, reasoning madman, have you cracked the code of 'Kid'?"
Suzuki Sonoko asked Kudo Shinichi.
"It has been cracked long ago. Who do you think I am? I am the famous detective Kudo Shinichi!"
Kudo Shinichi said proudly.
"What does that code say?"
Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously.
Seeing Suzuki Sonoko's question, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but said in a showy tone: "That code is considered to be very careful, 'Kid' is used..."
Just when Kudo Shinichi was about to start a long speech about analyzing the information contained in the "Kid" code in detail, Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and interrupted Kudo Shinichi's spell casting: "Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to listen, anyway, it's another one. It’s a bunch of long and smelly reasoning, right? I’m tired of hearing it!”
After speaking, a playful smile appeared on Suzuki Sonoko's face, "But this 'Kid' and you must have similar personalities. They both like to show off in a hurry. If you ask me, can't you learn from Master Chu Liuxiang! Preview The letter is just a warning letter, what are you doing with those vain things!"
"For example, I heard that you have a white jade beauty. She was carved by skilled hands. She is extremely graceful. I yearn for her. Tonight, I will step on the moon to get it. If you are elegant and graceful, I will not make my journey back and forth in vain!"
The next life Ningzi who was following Suzuki Sonoko suddenly read these words in a chant-like tone.
This is the first chapter of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang". Chu Liuxiang stole the white jade beauty from the wealthy family's young master Jin Banhua and sent it to Jin Banhua's house. The words written in the note were very beautiful and did not look like a thief at all. , on the contrary, it has the charm of an elegant guest. This short note alone has won countless fans for Chu Liuxiang, who has not yet appeared. And when the bright moon, the romantic and elegant Chu Liuxiang officially appeared, the white jade beauty has not yet been obtained, and countless girls' My heart has been stolen.
The girls whose hearts were stolen by Chu Liuxiang include Suzuki Sonoko and the afterlife Ningzi.
"Hey, Black Cat, you also like Master Chu Liuxiang!"
Suzuki Sonoko was very excited to meet a fellow traveler again.
"Although Shen Lang is also great, Master Chu Liuxiang is the best!"
Afterlife Ningzi gave a thumbs up, and Utsumi Ningzi also gave a thumbs up next to her sister, who also liked Chu Liuxiang the most.
It can be said that Chu Liuxiang's behavior perfectly fits all the twins' imaginations about thieves. It's no wonder the twins don't like it!
"That's it! This kind of elegance and calmness in writing the notice letter as if it were a greeting card... I love it so much! If Mr. Chu Liuxiang comes to my house to steal something, don't talk about it. It's okay to steal it with me! No! , it would be better to steal me away too!"
Suzuki Sonoko clasped the backs of her hands and put them on her cheeks, her eyes and face full of obsession.
"Ahem, Yuanzi, be careful!"
Kudo Shinichi coughed and reminded Suzuki Sonoko to pay attention to the occasion.
Suzuki Sonoko coughed strategically and finally maintained her dignity, if she really had such a thing.
At this moment, all the lights in the banquet suddenly dimmed. Just when someone started to panic, a strong light fell in the center of the banquet. The host of the banquet, Suzuki Jiroyoshi, stood under the light, and the white light shone on A stronger light reflected from his shiny bald head, which was a bit dazzling.
"Thank you to all the guests present for cooperating with my willfulness and taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this banquet hosted by me!"
Suzuki Jiroyoshi's voice spread throughout the banquet venue through the small microphone attached to his chest.
"To express my gratitude to all the guests present, I have a little surprise for you!"
Jiro Suzuki said loudly.
As Suzuki Jirokichi's words fell, a quiet pipa sound sounded and reached everyone's ears.
It was clear that only Suzuki Jirokichi had light in front of him, and only the light reflected from his bald head was the brightest. The rest was dark, but all the guests felt the breeze blowing on their faces, and the kingfisher chirped, "Sunrise The beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River seems to be right in front of you when the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the water is as green as blue."
"What a nice view……"
Mao Lilan couldn't help but let out a sigh. In the darkness, the prosperous and gleaming Jiangnan town seemed to be within reach.
"Is this played by Miss Yan? It's amazing, no, it's too amazing!"
Suzuki Sonoko said blankly.
She had already been amazed when she saw Yan Ruyu playing the sounds of musical instruments from all over the world on a five-string pipa. But when Yan Ruyu played the complete piece seriously, she realized that Yan Ruyu was just playing casually, not at all. Didn't show his strength.
Busujima Saeko hugged Rei tightly in her arms. She had only seen this transcendent skill and the ability to give artistic conception to sounds in Yan Kai. She never expected that Miss Yan from Nakahara had the same ability.
Hey, wait a minute, her surname is Yan too, does it have anything to do with Kaijun?
Busujima Saeko couldn't help but have doubts.
The sound of pipa, which contains the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, made the guests intoxicated. However, the happy time is always short, and no matter how beautiful the music is, it will end. The sound of pipa gradually stopped, but it still left an aftertaste that made the guests slow down. Taste slowly.
While they were savoring the sound of the pipa, the lights at the banquet returned to normal. Behind Suzuki Jirokichi, a stunning beauty in emerald green Hanfu embraced the pipa and walked out gently.
Hibiscus comes out of clear water, and the carvings are naturally removed.
Her beautiful face without a trace of pink and white made people couldn't help but hold their breath. Her slim and delicate body was soft but not weak. She walked out behind Suzuki Jirokichi with a pipa in her arms, and also entered the hearts of many people.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the daughter of my old friend from the Central Plains, Miss Yan Ruyuyan. Today she specially entertained me for this banquet. The pipa song "Recalling Jiangnan" just now was performed by her. I hope you all like it!"
Suzuki Jiroyoshi shouted loudly to the guests present.
"Pap-pap-pap-pap!"
Fierce applause continued, and Yan Ruyu conquered everyone with her performance.
After the applause subsided, Suzuki Jirokichi continued: "I think all the guests here understand the purpose of today's banquet. I'm really sorry that my grudges with 'Kid' have disturbed everyone. It's just that after ten years, 'Kid' De' actually challenged me again, so if I don't prepare a grand stage for him, wouldn't I be unworthy of my love for him?"
Suzuki Jirokichi waved, and a waiter approached Suzukijirokichi carrying "Golden Dusk" on a tray.
"Passive defense is not my habit. I won't hide Golden Dusk in a safe or somewhere."
Suzuki Jiroki picked up the "Golden Dusk", held up the necklace and said: "As the saying goes, 'Swords are given to heroes, pearls are given to beauties.' In order to add interest to today's banquet, I will select the most beautiful lady from the banquet to wear it. "Golden Dusk", of course, I, Suzuki Jirokichi, risk my reputation and will protect this lady with all my strength. Even if "Golden Dusk" is unfortunately stolen by Kaitou Kidd, I will never pursue it. Come on, everyone. Guests, you have ten minutes to choose who is the most beautiful lady in the party, and the lady who gets the most support will wear this 'Golden Dusk' throughout the party!"
As soon as Suzuki Jirokichi said this, Yakushiji Ryoko raised her head high, Muromachi Yukiko pushed her eyes, and Kujo Sakurako sighed helplessly.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu closed her eyes as if she was not interested at all, but secretly squinted her eyes.
Busujima Saeko smiled reservedly.
Nakiri Erina shook her long golden hair with her hand, with a look of disdain.
Suzuki Sonoko held Mao Lilan's hand and whispered: "Xiaolan, I will definitely support you!"
"Sonoko, thank you, but I think it may not be necessary, because you see..."
Mao Lilan pointed to Suzuki Jiroji, a group of male guests gathered around Yan Ruyu and shouted loudly: "Miss Yan, we fully support you!"
"Well……"
Suzuki Sonoko's breathing stopped for a moment.
Yes, what are you worrying about? Who is the most beautiful girl at the party? As long as you are not blind, no one can tell!
