Reception and banquet hall.
As more and more people came, the venue gradually became lively.
"Wow, there are so many celebrities here!" Mouri Kogoro scanned the crowd excitedly, "Kuragi Mai... Komatsu Miho... TWO-MIX!"
Next to him, Conan, who was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a yellow bow tie, was also looking around, looking around, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
The honeymoon of THK Corporation and Okino Yoko Subsidiary...
Yesterday Odagiri Toshi also said that he had something to do today...
Now a bunch of artists from THK are coming over, could it be...
"Also, I support Okino Yoko the most!!" Mouri Kogoro looked at Okino Yoko excitedly, and then his smile froze.
The young man standing next to Okino Yoko, wearing a black dress, speaking coldly, and with purple eyes... isn't he his eldest disciple?
Mao Lilan also looked over, "Huh? Brother Fei Chi is here too?"
"Really?" Hattori Heiji, who invited a group of people over, looked over.
"But why is he with Miss Yoko?" Mouri Kogoro glanced at the two people over there in displeasure, "And Miss Yoko is smiling and talking to him! He actually still looks cold and indifferent..."
"Yeah, no." Mao Lilanhan.
It was obvious that Brother Chi was also interacting.
Conan looked calm. He had already expected to meet Chi Feichi here, "Because it's the honeymoon period."
If you look carefully, you will see that people from THK and Okino Yoko's subsidiary are basically interacting with each other, as close as a family. It is completely impossible to tell that the two companies were secretly stabbing each other before.
It is estimated that the presidents of the two companies have already discussed it after they arrived at the venue.
Click...
Mouri Kogoro petrified, "Honey...moon..."
"Honey, honeymoon?!"
Mao Lilan and Yuanshan Kazuye also exclaimed.
Even Hattori Heiji looked at Conan in horror, "Isn't it possible? Are they already married? That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard any news at all. Even if it's not made public, you have to tell me! No, no, This is so sudden..."
"No..." Conan sweated and quickly explained what Chi Feichi said and the situation of the two companies.
Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief, "I was shocked..."
On the side, Mouri Kogoro was still petrified and murmured in a low voice, "Getting married... is too sudden... it's really too sudden..."
"Uh, uncle..." Toyama and Ye raised their hands and waved them in front of Maori Kogoro's eyes. They found that Maori Kogoro had no reaction and looked at Mao Lilan. "He didn't seem to have listened at all. Xiaolan, your dad." Will nothing happen?"
"This..." Mao Lilan was also a little unsure.
I'm worried about whether my father will be hit early and develop Alzheimer's disease early...
"Uncle, this kid is joking!" Hattori Heiji roared into Mouri Kogoro's ear.
Mouri Kogoro was still sluggish, "Marriage...honeymoon...it's really too sudden..."
The corner of Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched slightly, and he knelt down to whisper in Conan's ear, "Hey, Kudo, what did you say just now that the honeymoon was intentional? You finally couldn't help but do something dirty to the uncle? It's convenient to beat the uncle into stupidity. You kidnapped someone else’s daughter?”
Conan glanced at Hattori Heiji, was he so evil?
Don't blame him!
On the side, Mao Lilan decided to let her father take a break first.
Toyama and Ye also whispered into Mao Lilan's ear, "Heiji has been really weird lately. He calls people and says, 'Are you alone now?' I'll call you back later' or something like that..."
"Ah?" Mao Lilan was surprised, "Could it be that..."
"He must have been abducted by some vixen," Yuan Shan and Ye looked aggrieved and angry, turning their heads left and right, "Maybe he even invited that vixen to the venue!"
Conan: "..."
Sorry, he might be that vixen.
This is my second pot tonight, and I feel like my head is pitch black...
"So..." The emcee in front of the reception held a microphone and spoke, "Let me introduce the protagonists of tonight's reception, which are the three owners of this K3 hotel."
Everyone stopped talking and turned to look.
"First of all, there is the undefeated former world heavyweight champion, Mr. Ricca Barre!"
Following the introduction by the emcee, a man with dark skin, a round and sturdy figure walked out amid applause.
"Next, the Rookie of the Year pitcher with a ball speed of 160 kilometers, Mr. Mike Nord!"
The man who came out next had a mustache and was tall and thin, and waved to the applauders.
Conan stared at the aisle in anticipation.
His idol...his idol...
"Then, there is the famous goalkeeper known as the 'Iron Wall of Europe'...Mr. Ray Catis!"
The man who came out last was blond and tall, waving to the crowd as well.
Conan was immediately excited when he saw his idol coming out.
marvelous!
A living person!
Not far away, Chi Feichi turned to look at Conan, and sighed inwardly when he saw the famous detective's excited face.
This cocktail party is definitely a disaster for the famous detective. The idol he rarely sees is about to be sent to prison...
Odagiri Toshi didn't know when he came to Chi Feichi, "If I had known, we would have snatched the name K3..."
Morizono Kikuto came closer, smiled and whispered, "Didn't they say, it doesn't mean three kings, and if the company chooses this name, it will be misunderstood."
"But they originally proposed to interact with THK tonight," Odagiri Toshiya said. "After all, the three of us are also running a company together. However, I thought Fei Chi definitely didn't want to run up and be caught by the camera, so I refused..."
Next to the stage, there was a sudden noise.
"Quick! Translate to them! Katis," a short, fat man with a mustache said to Ray Katis, with a playful smile on his face. The scandal you were involved in in Japan can best be described as 'dirty and despicable'!"
"You are so rude! Get out!" Ray Katis said angrily in English.
"Don't come here. I am a guest who has received an official invitation letter, and I am a good friend of yours. I have made a lot of money by writing your press releases." The man took out the invitation letter, showed it, and then He turned around and picked up the sushi on the table next to him and left, "Although I don't know who invited me, I am very grateful to him because I love eating sushi, hahaha..."
"That guy seems to be..." Odagiri Toshi also turned his head.
"The American newspaper reporter who is famous for writing about scandals about sports players seems to be named Ed McKay," Kikuto Morizono whispered. "He specializes in digging up scandals about well-known athletes to increase sales. For example, Carteris is suspected of taking illegal drugs. Pin and Barre were suspected of match-fixing, and Mike was involved in an affair and divorced. However, these three people won their lawsuits against him, proving that he was fabricating the scandal, but because of his clever writing skills, he got away with it even if he was accused."
"You did a good job in your homework," Chi Feichi said.
He also checked some information before coming here. If he didn't understand something, he had to do his homework.
"Of course," Morizono Kikuto said with a smile, "I'm here to attend the reception after all, so I should at least get to know the three protagonists in advance, right? The scandals of the three of them were all reported by the reporter, and there was a lot of fuss about the lawsuit some time ago. There’s so much excitement, it’s hard not to pay attention.”
Odagiri Toshi also joked in a low voice, "This kind of reporter is also what we hate the most. Fortunately, he is focusing on the circle of athletes."
Over there, the emcee entered the question-and-answer session in advance in order to lighten the atmosphere.
Mao Lilan ran up and asked Ray Katis for his autograph without asking any questions, specifically specifying 'To Shinichi'.
"Miss Mori?"
"So...Oh, Mr. Mori is here too."
Morizono Kiku and Odagiri Toshi have also met Mouri Ran and Mouri Kogoro. After all, they have all been involved in the case...
"I'm going to say hello."
Chi Feichi said something, and then said to Okino Yoko, who was standing far away and did not join in the whisper, "Miss Yoko, please excuse me. I'll go say hello to the teacher."
"Ah, okay!" Okino Yoko said with a smile, "Please do it. Also, please tell Mr. Mori that I will go over and say hello later."
Chi Feichi nodded and turned to go to Maori Kogoro.
Hattori Heiji also pulled Mouri Kogoro to talk, "Uncle, your daughter asked a bastard for an autograph. If you don't care, she will be kidnapped."
Mouri Kogoro was still stagnant, "Bastard boy, get married, honeymoon..."
Chi Feichi saw this scene when he came closer. He was silent for a moment, squatted down, and poked Conan's brain.
"Huh?" Conan was looking at Mao Lilan with emotion, who was asking for an autograph for him, when he was suddenly poked in the head and turned to look at Chi Feichi blankly.
"Is it because the dose of anesthesia injection that the doctor gave you was not controlled well," Chi Feichi said calmly, with a hint of complexity, "or did you finally couldn't help but attack Teacher Maoli?"
No wonder he thought so. Mouri Kogoro was very similar to dementia. He wondered if he had caused some trouble during time travel, causing the doctor's anesthesia needle to have problems and allowing Conan to stab Moori Kogoro stupidly...
Conan was stunned, then turned to look at Mouri Kogoro. He was a little angry when he realized what Chi Feichi meant, "Who do you think I am?"
The third scapegoat tonight!
"Then..." Just when Chi Feichi wanted to ask Maori Kogoro what happened, Mao Lilan came over holding a signed jersey.
"Brother Chi?" Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed, "I forgot to ask you before... Hattori and the others said they didn't have a player they particularly liked. What about you? Do you want..."
"No, thank you, I don't chase stars," Chi Feichi said, "Same goes for sports stars."
Conan couldn't help but explain, "But Katis is very good. He originally played in the midfield. When both goalkeepers were injured and sent off due to red cards, he took up the position of goalkeeper. In the end, he was full of strength. Their team even finished second, and later became a goalkeeper in the Football League, and was called the iron wall of Europe!"
How could his little friend be indifferent to Katis? He must not know how powerful Katis is!
Chi Feichi still looked indifferent.
It is very powerful, but what does it have to do with him.
He didn't intend to stop this case. He was not familiar with both parties. Moreover, when Ray Katis faced Conan, he was quibbling at the beginning. If he rashly ran over and said anything, he would be charged with slander, which was a minor crime. It's not good to be an eyesore.
The only impact of this incident is that Conan will be very sad, but the blow is also an accelerant of growth.
The current Conan is much more lovable than the pushy Kudo Shinichi before, and his heart is much more delicate.
"Pfft!" Mao Lilan was amused by Conan's serious look. He bent down and handed a ticket to Conan, "Here, Conan, this is the VIP ticket for Katis to play at Changi Stadium tomorrow. He just gave it to him. Mine, do you want to go?"
"Go!" Conan's attention was immediately attracted and he happily responded, "I want to go!"
"He's quite generous!" Hattori Heiji sighed.
"Well, but he asked me to do a favor..." Mao Lilan raised the walkie-talkie in his hand.
