Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

The more important the person is, the last one will appear. In a country like Neon where classes are clearly defined and the gaps between classes are obvious, this has become an unspoken rule that the public defaults to.

This rule also applies even among the big shots at the top, and has even been embodied in the most concrete way.

Over time,

Conan, who had already entered Chunhe Residence and found a convenient observation position, stared in the direction of the main entrance as guests of higher status stepped into this thousand-year-old manor holding invitations in their hands.

His heart was filled with countless shocks, and he had gradually become accustomed to this feeling. Conan, who was still having tremors in his pupils just now, was now calm.

However, looking at the group of adults who could control Neon's future destiny gathered together, the pressure that hit him made Conan's eyes become much deeper.

Senior government officials, congressmen, prime ministerial candidates, plutocratic families, senior police officers, leaders of the Defense Agency, the handful of people at the top of Neon, and leading giants in various industries are almost all gathered here.

The ones who are really incompatible with this upper class group are detectives like them.

Under the gloomy black pine trees, Conan threw this inappropriate thought out of his mind while communicating with Kuroba Kaito beside him.

Thanks to Conan's current innocent and cute child appearance, the guests who came and went didn't pay too much attention to them even if they saw them.

Often they just glance at it and look away without paying much attention.

Sugito and others, who are also detectives, are more concerned about solving countless cases than Conan, and the famous Kanto detective Kudo Shinichi has solved countless cases.

Therefore, after Kuroba Kaito and Conan separated, not many people noticed the short Conan.

Of course, this does not include Karasuma Sonobu.

After verifying the invitation letter in your hand,

Karasuma Sonobu, wearing a burgundy casual shirt, black trousers and black sneakers, and a black casual jacket hanging on his arm, handed the coat in his hand to Gogo who was assigned to lead him. Co., Ltd. employees.

While unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt and folding it up, he exposed his strong but not muscular forearms.

His sharp and handsome facial features looked particularly intimidating under the sunlight.

Of course, Karasuma Sonobu himself is also unabashedly releasing the aura of "Don't bother me if you're in a bad mood".

Some well-informed people, such as the head of the Ooka family, know that this is mainly because Karasuma Renye, as the leader of the Karasuma Consortium, has been arranging for his precious adopted son to familiarize himself with various businesses within the Karasuma Consortium.

However, just like the rumors, the heir to the Karasuma Foundation, who is not interested in inheriting the family business at all and prefers to hang out abroad, does not seem to be happy with this coveted training.

The head of the Ooka family believes that after the assassination in the capital, the reason why Karasuma Sonobu flew to Berry Country as soon as the border blockade order was lifted was not because he really felt that the country was too dangerous at that time.

It was just to get rid of the study plan set for him by his adoptive father Karasuma Renya.

After all, no matter how dangerous neon lights are, they are still much safer than the Berry Country where freedom and smoke of gunfire coexist.

Furthermore, for them, who are from top-notch plutocratic families, ordinary dangers cannot come close to them under heavy protection.

Karasuma Renya is already this old, and she only has an adopted son.

In order to pave the way for his adopted son, he even showed up to take his heir to the banquet after not showing up for many years.

Moreover, not long after the appearance, the adopted son began to learn and become familiar with the various businesses of the Karasuma Consortium, obviously hoping that the heir would take over the Karasuma Consortium as soon as possible.

With so much attention being paid to him, how could Renye Karasuma not be concerned about his adopted son's personal safety?

Therefore, in the opinion of the head of the Ooka family, the bad temper Karasuma Sonobu showed today was just because he had just stayed in Berry Country for less than two months and was ordered to return home by his adoptive father, and he had to represent the Karasuma family at such a meeting. He was not interested in the party, so he used this gesture to express his dissatisfaction.

Among the guests, there are quite a few "smart people" like the head of the Ooka family, and to be able to get into this class, at least the basic ability to recognize people and colors is full.

Therefore, even if the guests did not know the heir of the Karasuma Consortium, most of them did not feel any contempt when they saw Karasuma Sonobu, who was dressed casually but was worth a lot of money from head to toe and full of momentum.

Some guests who had met Karasuma Sonobu at the Spring Cherry Blossom Dinner held by the Suzuki Foundation, or who knew the appearance of the heir to the Karasuma Foundation, saw the undisturbed attitude of Karasuma Sonobuaki that he was showing at this moment. Most of them were very sensible and didn't come forward to strike up a conversation.

Of course, not everyone is so winking.

After entering the main entrance, as soon as he walked along the stone road paved in the middle of the lawn for a while, he keenly noticed the look in Conan's eyes, and he became interested. Karasuma Sonobu, who was planning to come closer to say hello, didn't even get close. I heard a voice in the distance suddenly howling at the top of my lungs:

"Come on, come on, that red-haired boy in front, get out of my way."

Karasuma Sonobu, who never thought that one day he would be called a red-haired boy, stopped, frowned and turned around to look.

I saw a young man dressed up like a killer horse, also wearing fashionable brands from head to toe, with purple hair and a very nervous expression, being chased by the reception staff in kimonos behind him, riding a horse without any trouble. The beautiful black horse rushed towards him.

It looked like the horse was out of control.

This is the answer that everyone around them came up with after seeing this scene.

Seeing Karasuma Sonobu standing there without moving, the purple-haired young man suddenly became more anxious, but the black horse, which had already fallen into a state of madness, would not slow down its running speed because of the purple-haired young man's anxiety.

"boom!"

Just when everyone thought that a tragedy was about to happen, a bullet fired from 700 yards directly penetrated the dark horse's head, instantly stopping the tragedy.

Then, the lifeless black horse suddenly fell to the ground less than three meters away from Karasuma Sonobu, and the purple-haired young man riding the horse was also thrown away at the same time.

His expression was so painful that he lost control of it. Naoichiro Iwazuki grinned and was immersed in the pain caused by being thrown to the ground by the horse. It took him a while to recover.

Just when he was about to ask the receptionist assigned to him to help him, he found that no one came to help him after stretching his hand for a long time.

No, wasn't the receptionist so considerate and enthusiastic before? Even when he was being driven away by the white horse that suddenly went crazy, she followed him closely and kept comforting him.

Why are you so expressionless at this time?

Naoichiro Iwazuki, who felt a little strange in his heart, suddenly noticed that a shadow had been cast behind him.

When he looked up, Karasuma Sonobu was standing next to him with an indifferent expression. The receptionist who had been following him before was now standing respectfully behind Karasuma Sonobu, keeping a slight bow.

The receptionist assigned to Karasuma Sonobu also maintained the same posture.

Seeing this scene, Naichiro Iwazuki realized that he had just shouted a very rude red-haired boy at Karasuma Sonobu.

Moreover, this person did not seem to be the detective who had also received the commission as he thought.

Seeing that Naoichiro Iwazuki raised his head and noticed him, Karasuma Sonobu reached out and grabbed Naoichiro Iwazuki's arm and pulled him up from the ground.

"hiss!"

Naoichiro Iwazuki, who was injured, couldn't help but let out a soft cry, but he still apologized sincerely:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to use impolite words to call you just now.

I am a detective named Naoichiro Iwazuki.

I came here to investigate the truth because I received a request from a big-money client.

I really offended you just now. "

Iwazuki Naoichiro's tone was very sincere. After Karasuma Sonobu knew the whole story, he had no intention of caring about it, but he hadn't spoken yet.

Suddenly, a disdainful and obviously unkind voice sounded from the side:

"An apology will do. Who do you think you are talking to?"

Karasuma Sonobu raised his eyes and found that he still had some memories of this person. He had met him at the Haru Sakura Dinner, and it was barely acquaintance.

"What does this have to do with you?

Leave far away. "

The young man who recognized Karasuma Sonobu and wanted to take the opportunity to please him did not expect that Karasuma Sonobu would say this so ruthlessly. The smile on his face when Karasuma Sonobu looked over was so direct. Stuck there.

As the heir to the Kobe Group, his father should have come to the party at this moment, but due to various reasons, the young man ultimately attended the party.

Before coming, the young man's father reminded him many times to talk less and observe more during the gathering.

But the young man who is eager for quick success is unwilling to give up this opportunity to get in touch with the big names in neon.

Therefore, after discovering that the heir of the Karasuma Consortium had a conflict with a purple-haired young man whom he did not know at all and who did not appear to be the son of a high-ranking official.

He couldn't wait to jump out, hoping to please Karasuma Sonobu and get closer to him.

Who would have thought that Karasuma Sonobu would not buy it.

At this time, another young man who looked almost exactly the same as Naoichiro Iwazuki, except that his hair was ordinary black, ran over from a distance.

As soon as he got closer, he was eager to check the injury of Naoichiro Iwazuki, but Naoichiro Iwazuki quickly stopped him with his quick eyes and hands:

"Brother, I'm fine, really, it's just a few scratches."

Iwazuki Koichiro looked his silly brother up and down, and after confirming that there was no big problem with his mental condition and no major physical damage, he still felt uneasy:

"It's better to go see a doctor and have a look."

Iwazuki Koichiro was worried that his brother would suffer internal injuries, such as internal bleeding, so he planned to take his brother to the doctor without saying a word.

Then he discovered that the receptionist who had been following him was actually bowing slightly to the young man with bright red hair next to his brother.

"Brother Karasuma?"

At this time, Conan, who was running under the black pine tree, finally caught up with the scene and asked Karasuma Sonobu with some confusion.

Upon hearing the surname Karasuma, Iwazuki Naoichiro and Iwazuki Koichiro were immediately stunned.

Only then did the two of them realize that the person in front of them was actually the heir to the Karasuma Consortium, Neon's number one consortium.

Although they had never met Karasuma Sonobu before, the two Iwazuki brothers, who were smart enough to become one of the detectives commissioned this time, soon learned from previous media reports that the attitude of the receptionists was such that they were scolded instead of trying to please them. , but with the look of the Kobe Group heir who did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and resentment on his face, he deduced the identity of Karasuma Sonobu.

The only son of the richest man, Mr. Renya Karasuma, and the only heir to the Karasuma Consortium, the first Neon consortium.

"Send them to the doctor."

Just when the two Iwazuki brothers were uneasy, Karasuma Sonobu spoke up.

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the two receptionists responsible for receiving the two Iwazuki brothers responded with great humility.

Then a sightseeing car was summoned through the communicator worn on the ear.

In order to give guests a better tour experience, Chunheju Nei has prepared many sightseeing cars.

After a while, a sightseeing car stopped on the stone road beside the lawn.

Koichiro Iwazuki, who had already introduced himself while waiting for the bus, immediately carefully helped his eldest brother get on the bus.

After seeing off the two Iwazuki brothers, Karasuma Sonobu didn't even look at the Kobe Group heir who was still in a daze, and said to the receptionist behind him who kept bowing:

"You don't have to follow me. Go and investigate this matter. I want to see the investigation report at one o'clock in the afternoon."

"Yes."

The receptionist who received the order immediately turned around and left.

"Brother Karasuma, why do these people listen to you so much?"

Karasuma Sonobu, who did not choose to continue walking inside, but returned to the black pine tree with Conan, heard this, and while looking into the distance like Conan, he replied:

“Because I have a higher status than the people they are following, and I almost became an innocent victim, so naturally they put my order first.

If the Chief Cabinet Secretary appears, it will be my turn to give in. "

Conan didn't think it was just because of this, because although he was far away and only caught up with the second half when he ran over, he could see that those people's respect for Karasuma Sonobu was truly from the bottom of their hearts. .

"Brother Karasuma, don't you think what happened just now was an accident?"

Skipping the topic, Conan pretended to be curious and asked.

"I don't know, I'm not very good at reasoning, so I asked them to check it out.

If it is really an accident, it seems that my luck during this period is still as bad as ever. After the party is over, I will have to find a shrine to worship and ask for a lucky guardian. "

Karasuma Sonobu used the excuse of not understanding reasoning and changed the topic to luck.

Knowing that Karasuma Sonobu was telling lies with his eyes wide open, Conan could only follow the gradually changing topics and chatted with Karasuma Sonobu at random.

Then, looking at the last two guests who made a grand entrance and were welcomed into the sightseeing car after getting off the car without even leaving a hair, Conan turned to look at Karasuma Sonobu, who looked calm, and said in disbelief :

"Brother Karasuma, it turns out that what you just said was not exaggerated at all."
