【Shimizu Shizu and Okino Yoko...】
In the lobby of the guest house, while Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan were discussing with each other in low voices, Haibara Ai stood quietly behind the two of them, listening to the conversation between them with his ears pricked up.
[Could these two people have known each other before...]
Although she couldn't compliment her uncle's reasoning ability, she thought carefully about the scene just now, and she did feel that what he said made sense.
Just now when Qing Shuijing was helping Okino Yoko, the two people only exchanged a few short sentences, but their demeanor and reaction at that time did give people the feeling that they had known each other for many years.
It's incredible.
But what Haihara Ai is more curious about is, if these two people really knew each other before, then what was the reason why they concealed each other just now?
Could it be that, as the uncle speculated, the two did not want their past "romance" to be exposed in front of Suzuki Ayako?
So Qing Shuijing is a scumbag?
wrong!
Haiyuan Ai quickly shook his head to get rid of this strange thought in his mind.
[I was almost taken into the ditch by the uncle...]
According to past experience, generally those who are categorically confirmed by the uncle can be ruled out immediately.
"Sister! Brother-in-law! Xiaolan!"
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko, who had gone outside to find the Young Detective Team, also returned to the lobby of the guest house.
"Yuanzi, you came here so quickly. I thought you would be back after a while..."
"Haha! I'm lucky. I met these three brats not far away. It seems like the party hasn't started yet?"
"Yeah, but it's soon." Mao Lilan nodded and replied.
In the hall at this time, since it was almost the time for the official start of the banquet, most of the guests gathered here, talking to each other back and forth.
As everyone had guessed before, in addition to detectives, the people in this hall are all celebrities who are somewhat famous in society.
【Eh? 】
Suddenly, a blond and dark-skinned figure flashed past Haihara Ai's peripheral vision.
【etc! 】
She quickly turned her head to look, quickly walked around the figures blocking her sight, and then stopped abruptly.
【It's him? ! 】
A few meters directly in front of her was a dark-skinned man wearing a sun hat.
The man has short blond hair and is handsome. He is talking to someone in the hall. His front teeth look particularly white against his dark skin.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"
The young detective team noticed Haihara Ai's sudden reaction and quickly followed him.
Hui Yuarai turned to look at them, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed at the blond and black man in front of him.
"Look."
"Um?"
The three of them looked at what she pointed at, and their faces suddenly showed expressions of joy.
"It's Brother Amuro!"
Yes, the blond and dark-skinned person is Toru Amuro.
This man loves working part-time, and it is said that he holds several jobs, one of which is in the Poirot Cafe where Conan and the others often go.
In addition, he is said to be doing detective work at the same time, and occasionally takes on some commissions.
Of course, these are all superficial identities he uses to disguise himself.
His true identity is an undercover agent sent to the black organization by the Japanese public security, codenamed Bourbon, and his real name is Rei Furitani.
So, why did he appear at this banquet?
Is he representing the Japanese police this time? Or that black organization?
Haiyuan Ai must figure this out.
"Brother Amuro!"
But before Hui Yuan Ai could think of a way to test, the three little ones beside her happily ran forward.
"Wait, you guys..."
"Um?"
Amuro Toru in front heard the sound and looked back, with a smile on his face.
"Ah, is it you?"
Seeing the three little ones running over enthusiastically, Toru Amuro squatted down and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"Uncle Maoli brought us here!"
"Oh~ So it's Detective Mori?"
When Toru Amuro heard this, he raised his head and immediately saw Mouri Kogoro and the others not far away, as well as Haibara Ai directly in front of him.
The two looked at each other, and Haihara Ai looked away.
"Where's that smart little detective? Didn't he come with you this time?" Looking back, Amuro Toru continued to ask with a smile.
"Conan didn't come because he had a cold!" Knowing who he was asking, the three little ones replied.
"I see……"
"Brother Amuro, do you and Miss Amamiya know each other?" After Toru Amuro finished asking, the three little ones looked at the woman beside Toru Amuro who had just been talking to him and asked quickly.
The woman standing next to Toru Amuro is the recently famous beautiful reporter and host Megumi Amamiya. Although she is still a newcomer to the industry, she has already received a lot of resources from the TV station due to her excellent abilities. She can be seen in many important program interviews. She currently lives on the first floor of the Mori Detective Agency, so she also knows friends of the Mori family.
Of course, Haihara Ai also knew about her other identity.
Megumi Amamiya, who used the pseudonym Reina Mizuna, is also one of the cadres of the black organization, codenamed Keir.
In the Curacao incident, it has been confirmed that his true identity is an undercover agent placed by the CIA within the black organization.
"Mr. Amuro and I happened to know each other during a previous interview." Reina Mizuno bent down, put her hands on her knees, and looked at the few people with a smile.
"Eh--"
The three little ones first looked at Toru Amuro, then at Reina Mizuna, and then suddenly asked: "Brother Amuro, there shouldn't be any special relationship between you and Sister Amamiya, right?"
"Why, why do you ask that?" Toru Amuro tried his best to keep the smile on his face as he was almost short-circuited by the magical brain circuits of these three little animals.
"Because you two looked very close just now and were whispering..."
"Brother Amuro, if you do this, it will make sister-in-law Azusa sad, right?"
Azusa Enomoto is Amuro Toru's colleague at Poirot Cafe. Because they work together, the relationship between the two is very good, and there is a possibility of being in a relationship.
"Why did the topic bring up Miss Azusa again?" Toru Amuro felt like he couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Haha, what a funny kid."
Reina Mizuna couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Toru Amuro, her eyes flickered, and she said meaningfully: "It seems that Mr. Amuro is living a good life..."
"Ms. Amamiya, you are right, but please don't cause trouble for me?" Toru Amuro replied with the same smile.
The three little ones had a vague feeling that the two men seemed to be talking about something, but they couldn't figure it out.
"how could be……"
Smiling, Shui Wulian squatted down and looked at the three little ones in front of him.
"Smart little guys, do you want to guess the real purpose of Mr. Amuro and I coming to this banquet?"
Her words instantly aroused the curiosity of the three little ones.
"Huh? What is it? Isn't it just a party?"
"Hey, Amamiya..."
Realizing what she wanted to say, Toru Amuro frowned slightly and reminded her.
But Shui Wu Liannai ignored him. Instead, she leaned into the ears of the three little ones and whispered:
"Actually, there is a very dangerous fugitive hiding in this tourist area. Mr. Amuro and I are here specifically to catch this fugitive..."
