Conan: I'm teasing Conan in Mingke

—In a brightly lit villa in the mountains at night—

In the largest banquet hall, a group of men and women in tuxedos and evening gowns stood around a table with a three-tier cake.

The most eye-catching one is the beautiful woman in the center wearing a red evening dress.

She is the protagonist of this time, Reika Shioi.

"Happy birthday to you!" Everyone put on their most perfect smiles to celebrate this grand birthday party.

Amid the cheers from all around, Rika Sii blew out the 24 candles on the cake.

There was applause.

There was an unconcealable pride on Sijing Lihua's face, and she subconsciously looked in a certain direction with a blush.

Standing in the front in that direction was a handsome man in a dark blue tuxedo.

The man had the most perfect polite smile on his face, and his red eyes, like an ancient well, stared quietly at Shijing Lihua.

"Happy 24th birthday, Rika." A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties walked up with a smile and put his arm around Rika Shii's shoulders.

He is the father of Rika Shioi and the chairman of Shioi Group, Tsuyoshi Shioi.

"Thank you, Dad." Shioi Rika turned her gaze to Shioi Tsuneaki and thanked him.

"Today is my little girl's birthday, and I am very grateful to have you all come all the way to this mountain villa to celebrate with her.

We would like to ask you to support our Shijing Group in the future, thank you." Shijing Changzhang looked at the many representatives of the consortium present and made official speeches as usual.

"Well, before everyone starts talking freely, I would like to introduce today's special guest to everyone." Then he raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction: "He is - Mr. Maori Kogoro!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Kogoro Mouri who was eating heartily, and Ran and Conan who were obviously embarrassed and wanted to crawl into the crack in the ground.

"He is the famous ..."

"Heisei's Akechi Kogoro..."

“It’s actually a real person!”

Maori Kogoro accepted the discussions and admiring looks from the people around him, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and laughed dryly twice: "Hello, everyone, hello."

"To be honest, Mr. Maori helped my daughter a lot not long ago." Shijing Changzhang introduced the reason for inviting special guests.

Maori Kogoro on the other side also waved his hand: "It's nothing."

After that, Shijing Changzhang announced the official start of the banquet. He walked aside with a wine glass in his hand and continued to discuss business with several business contacts.

Kurokawa Keisawa originally wanted to say hello to Kogoro Mori, but was stopped by Rika Yoshii halfway.

"Um, Mr. Kurokawa, nice to meet you." Shii Rika showed a little bit of a daughter's attitude and greeted Kurokawa Keisawa timidly.

"Hello, Miss Shioi, happy birthday." Then the two strangers started chatting. It was basically Shioi Rika who talked, while Kurokawa Keizawa listened with a smile and occasionally gave a response.

It seems that there is no way to join Conan in the fun for the time being. It's so boring.

On the other side, around Kogoro Mori are also gathered the digital fiancé candidates - Ichieda Takashi, Nikaido Yuji, Mifune Takuya, Gojo Osamu and Rokuda Masashi.

After a brief exchange with Kogoro Mori, these people started to act like bootlickers.

"And Miss Lihua has already seen through this."

"Yes, the young lady is a truly remarkable person."

"She is not only beautiful, but also has good taste."

"I wonder who could successfully win her heart?"

"I don't know who it is, but he must be a lucky guy, because if he marries Lihua, he will definitely be the next president of the Shijing Group."

A group of people looked at Yotsui Reika who had her back to them. Due to the perspective, Maori Kogoro and others did not see Kurokawa Keisawa.

Conan had already run away to find the toilet and didn't see Kurokawa Keisawa.

"But the Shijing Group is really generous. They even invited the guy from the Kurokawa Group." However, just because Maori and others didn't see it doesn't mean that those bootlickers didn't see it. Takuya Mifune sighed.

"Eh? The one from Kurokawa Group?" Xiaolan immediately looked over there after hearing that, and indeed saw that figure: "It's really Kurokawa brother!"

Kurokawa Keizawa seemed to notice the gaze that Xiaolan was looking at him, and smiled at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan also raised her hand and waved hello.

However, out of politeness, Xiaolan did not go to Kurokawa Keizawa to interrupt her conversation with Yotsugu Rika. She planned to wait until the two of them finished talking before going over to say hello.

"Is there anyone you know there?" Seeing Kurokawa Keisawa smiling over there, Yotsuga Rika also looked over there. There were only her dogs and that Mori detective there.

"It's Detective Maori."

"So it's Detective Maori."

"Then Miss Shijing, I will go over there and say hello to them first, and you can go and taste your birthday cake."

Kurokawa Keizawa found an excuse to slip away. He had no intention of being taken into the harem by this troublesome young lady, so he left early to avoid being involved.

"Hey, Mr. Kurokawa." Shii Rika pursed her lips a little disappointed. She didn't expect that Kurokawa Keisawa was not impressed by her beauty.

But there is no need to rush. Sijing Lihua believes that sooner or later she will be able to bring the person in front of her down from the altar.

The two men greeted each other, and Kurokawa Keisawa walked towards Mori Kogoro.

And Yoshii Rika watched Kurokawa Keisawa walk to Kogoro Mori and start greeting him before turning and leaving.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mori." Kurokawa Keisawa raised his glass and made a simple gesture.

"I didn't expect that you, Kurokawa, would also come to the banquet today." Kogoro Mori was still tasting high-end liquor and eating.

"Long time no see, Brother Kurokawa." Xiaolan also walked forward and looked at Kurokawa Keizawa somewhat stiffly.

"Long time no see, Xiaolan." He smiled at Xiaolan, looked around, and asked, "Where's Conan? Isn't he with you guys?"

"Conan went to the bathroom." Conan had just reported to Xiaolan.

"That's it."

"Haha, the food here is really delicious, and the wine is great too!" Kogoro Mouri screamed beside him.

"Dad, really, you should pay a little more attention to your image! There are obviously many customers here." Xiaolan almost couldn't help but punch Kogoro Mouri.

"This proves that Mr. Maori has a lot of personality, which is great."

"Really?"

"of course."
