After saying this without even turning her head, the lady slowly walked up the stairs like a proud swan with her neck stretched out.

Seeing her like this, Takayoshi Tsujimura felt even more disgusted. She even embarrassed her girlfriend and put on airs.

He complained directly without hesitation, "What's so great about being a second wife? Why are you putting on airs?"

As he said this, he tightened his arms affectionately, trying to comfort his girlfriend.

Takayoshi Tsujimura's complaints were not concealed and almost everyone present heard them.

His meaning was very clear, and he was speaking specifically to your ladyship.

This involves the diplomat's family affairs, and it is not appropriate for others to interfere.

Kogoro Mouri looked left and right, and finally followed the lady upstairs with his eyes and nose.

Mao Lilan's face showed strange color. She just heard what this man was complaining about, but she didn't fully understand what he meant.

Second wife, are you saying that your ladyship married someone else?

Marry...'s second wife.

In other words, their marriage was not perfect at the beginning, but was later supplemented and perfected through remarriage.

No wonder Takayoshi Tsujimura was somewhat polite but disrespectful to Madam Gui; Madam Gui couldn't stand his stepson's girlfriend.

Mao Lilan remained silent, took Conan and turned to the butler.

"Hello, housekeeper. Where is your toilet? My child wants to go to the toilet."

The butler then noticed that there was a child among the visiting guests, so he nodded and prepared to show them the way.

"The toilet is over there, I'll take you there."

Hattori Heiji and Egawa Kami fell behind and had not caught up yet, but looked at the complaining Takayoshi Tsujimura.

Glancing at him, Jiang Chuan Shang took a few steps and revealed his full appearance from the shadows, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The extremely beautiful face was even more impactful. When people looked at it, they were frozen in place by the beauty and forgot to breathe.

Even this narrow entrance became brighter because of his appearance.

Katsuragi Sachiko looked at him, amazed and more surprised.

This person... is the one I met at the entrance of the office...

Why is he here?

The lowered eyes are filled with worry and deep thought.

Behind her, Takayoshi Tsujimura did not notice anything unusual about his girlfriend. At this moment, he was staring deeply at the handsome young man who walked out of the darkness, full of admiration.

It's a miracle that a man can be so beautiful that people can't help but marvel at him.

Jiang Chuan Shang's scanning gaze met his, and after a second, he calmly moved his gaze downwards, and immediately landed on Katsuragi Sachiko in his arms.

Nodding slightly, Jiang Chuan Shang showed his good will to Katsuragi Sachiko, "Miss, we meet again."

Takayoshi Tsujimura's gaze immediately fell on his girlfriend, and his hand on her shoulder tightened inadvertently.

Sachiko Katsuragi pursed her lips; the thing she was most worried about had happened.

She nodded slightly embarrassedly, burying her head even deeper, "Ah, hello... sir, I didn't expect... to see you here, it's fate."

Jiang Chuan Shang's lips curled slightly, his eyes were deep as the abyss, and his tone was light: "It is indeed fate."

There was an obvious deep meaning in his eyes, and Takayoshi Tsujimura intuitively felt that there was something hidden in it that he didn't know, so he interrupted their conversation.

"Sir, may I ask where did you see Sachiko? I remember she was in the villa all day today."

"Well, you should ask your girlfriend," Jiang Chuan Shang faced his question without changing his expression.

He continued, "We are here as your lady's old friend. Since your lady has gone upstairs, we will not chat for long. However, there will be many opportunities to continue chatting in the future."

After saying these words, he turned around and walked towards the stairs.

When he passed Hattori Hei, he paused only for a moment before stepping onto the stairs.

Hattori Heiji stood aside and watched all this quietly without making any sound.

He looked carefully at Takayoshi Tsujimura and the person being investigated, Sachiko Katsuragi, trying to find clues from their words and actions.

After making eye contact with Egawa, Hattori Heiji followed him.

Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi stayed where they were and watched them go upstairs.

After the figure disappeared, Takayoshi Tsujimura asked his girlfriend, "Sachiko, when did you two meet?"

Katsuragi Sachiko reached out and held Tsujimura Takayoshi intimately, hugged him, and said coquettishly: "He must have recognized the wrong person. I have been staying in the villa all day, why doesn't he believe me?"

Takayoshi Tsujimura hurriedly explained: "Oh, that's right, I told you that you should stay in the villa the whole time."

At the corner of the stairs, Jiang Chuan Shang saw Madam and others chatting with a white-haired old man.

At this time, they had finished their chat, and the old man walked slowly down the stairs with his hands behind his back.

When he saw Egawakami and Hattori Heiji, the old man nodded with a smile.

In his hands behind his back was a paper roll, but I didn't know what it contained.

Jiang Chuan Shang stepped aside to make way for him.

It was just a minor episode. Everyone continued to move forward and soon arrived at the door of the study under the leadership of the lady.

The lady stood at the door and knocked.

"Honey, Mr. Maori is here."

After knocking a few times, the lady waited patiently for a response, but found that no sound came from inside the door.

She frowned slightly, feeling a little confused, lowered her head to check the watch on her wrist, and talked to herself.

"That's strange! Isn't he in the study?"

Both the housekeeper and Takayoshi Tsujimura said he was in the study, so how come he is not there?

But whether he was inside or not, she needed to take the guests into the study and then go find him.

So, without hesitation, she took out the key to the study from her bag and prepared to open the door.

With a "click", the door handle moved.

The lady quickly opened the door and walked in.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw her husband sitting at the desk, his face supported by one hand, his eyes staring straight ahead. She had no idea what he was looking at.

"Hubby, you were in the study, why didn't you respond after I called you so many times? Really!"

She frowned, a slightly annoyed look on her face, and while complaining, she walked quickly towards the desk.

The moment she opened the door, soothing music started playing in the study.

The sound came from the speakers, a melodious soprano voice, the singing echoed in the air, filling the whole room with an elegant atmosphere.

The lady was very familiar with her husband. After observing for a few seconds, she realized that her husband was sleeping with his face propped up.

She complained helplessly and walked towards her husband, "It's unbelievable that you can sleep so soundly with the stereo on like this."

At this time, Mao Lilan had already returned with Conan, and exactly five people were present.

Hattori Heiji took two steps at a time, quickly walked to the stereo, and began to check the record being played.

He leaned over to look at the words on the film and was sure that it was an opera.

Conan broke free from Mouri Ran's hand and went to the speaker to check it carefully.

In order not to arouse suspicion, he pretended to be innocent and asked Hattori Heiji, "Brother, what is this? It actually makes a sound?!"

When Hattori Heiji heard Conan's question, he turned his head and looked at him, then replied with a smile: "Little boy, this is a record player, it can play nice music~"

After saying that, Hattori Heiji continued to carefully examine the record player.

Conan nodded and looked at Hattori Heiji with pretended curiosity.

"Brother, what is this music? Conan has never heard it before."

“It’s an opera.”

Hattori Heiji leaned on the record player, turned his head to look at Egawakami, and a smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
