Not too many out of four

25-year-old Kudo Shinichi, a well-known frequent visitor on newspapers, is currently running a detective firm with his wife Kudo Lan, and is already a well-known Mr. Detective in the Kanto region.

As early as in high school, he was already a well-known high school student detective who solved hundreds of cases. Although he disappeared for several years in the second year of high school, Mr. Detective, who came back to the public eye, settled down and became more mature. The speed of solving cases and reasoning abilities are improved.

He often cooperates with the police to solve cases, making him a popular figure in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He will be invited to help when encountering difficult cases. Not only that, even the Metropolitan Police Departments in Shizuoka, Kanagawa, and Saitama counties. He is familiar with the police.

Such a close relationship with the red side, the famous detective Mr. who is considered absolutely impossible to be contaminated with the dark side received a special wedding invitation letter a few days ago, specially inviting him and his wife Kudo Ran to the Yokohama Auditorium in Kanagawa Prefecture. Big wedding.

It is said that there are nearly a thousand guests, and most of them are guests invited by the man. In comparison, the only people invited by the woman are family, friends and some elders who have been in contact with each other.

Regardless of whether it is because of their family status or the reason of supporting the woman, Kudo Shinichi and Kudo Ran cannot refuse this special invitation letter. After all, the person who will hold the wedding ceremony in the Yokohama Auditorium is his sister Fujimine Toshika.

His mother's younger sister Fujimine Yukari's daughter and cousin who lived in his home for seven or eight years.

Li Jia's fiancé is from Yokohama, who grew up and worked in Yokohama. The accidental encounter made them know each other for several years, and after being separated for many years, they became a fiancee.

Kudo Shinichi is still not clear about Chuya Nakahara's specific job, but he is stronger than members of the police and FBI, and he knows that his usual work requires strong force support.

Yokohama is a special port city. He can live a normal life there, protect Lijia and take care of her healthy. He looks happier than before leaving home. Naturally, he has nothing to disagree with them. .

Besides, Zhong Yuanzhong has also fulfilled the agreement with him, waiting for Li Jia to get married after graduating from university, he really respects her wishes, and it can somewhat reassure him that Zhong Yuan Zhong will also take good care of Li Jia for the rest of his life.

"Xinyi, won't Mom and Dad set off with us?" Ran Kudo traced the delicate and decent makeup, wore a small dress prepared for the wedding, and carefully sat in the co-pilot's seat.

As the elders of Toshika Fujimine, the Kudou couple and the Mori couple naturally also received invitations. She knew that her father might come later. After all, the Mori family is at most the in-laws of Toshika's brother, and the relationship is not very close.

But the Kudou couple should have gone to accompany the bride earlier, otherwise it would not be appropriate for the bride to stay in the room alone when they are about to get married.

"They don't go with us, and they will go directly to Yokohama from Narita Airport when they get off the plane." Kudo Shinichi started the vehicle and drove to the location of the navigation positioning. It took less than an hour to calculate the time.

As a relative of the woman, Kudo Shinichi's position at the wedding is extremely important. He is an important person who is responsible for taking the bride through the red carpet and handing it over to the groom. The parents who hurried back.

Generally speaking, the person who is responsible for holding the bride at the wedding is the bride's father, but Li Jia's father passed away long before she was born, and she is also the only child in the family and has no elder brother, so she had to let Kudo Shinichi take this role.

This cannot be said to be the second best choice. Li Jia consulted Kudo Shinichi and confirmed that he is willing to come before asking him to take up this important position. If Kudo Shinichi is asked to vacate this position for others, even his His father Yusaku Kudo, he will be worried and worried.

After all, the person who acts as the bride's father and elders and takes her through the red carpet is the man who loves and values ​​the bride the most in the family. He is also the bride's biggest backing, supporting her in front of the groom and many guests, saying that if the groom does something in the future, he will be sorry for the bride. He will be the first to come to settle accounts with him.

Although Yusaku Kudo's identity is more suitable, the relationship between him and the bride is not so close. Out of suspicion and because they usually live abroad, they have spent less than a year together.

After all the calculations, the most suitable person for this candidate is Kudo Shinichi.

Of course, the Kudou couple also think so, as long as they are the elders of the women's guests attending the wedding.

……

Even if the bride's elder brother can't break into the dressing room at will before the bride leaves the dressing room, he can only stay outside and wait.

"Lan, go in and have a look at Li Jia," Kudo Shinichi looked down with one hand on the window, and said, "I'll take a walk around here first."

Kudo Ran also knew the rules. It was the same when she got married. She could only see Kogoro Mori before she was about to go to the auditorium, and she was almost held back by her crying father who was so excited.

"I know, Shinichi also don't go far, it will be time to set off soon."

Kudo Shinichi replied calmly, and followed closely the men in black suits guarding outside. All of them were burly, with a bulge at the back of their waists, and their expressions were solemn and serious. people.

Their current location is a wedding hotel near the auditorium. There are special rooms for the bride and groom to get along far away, and there is also a banquet hall for the guests to toast after the wedding.

Zhongyuan Zhong also directly booked the hotel with his wealth and wealth, and there was no second couple who got married today nearby, and the people who moved around in the hotel were all guests who came to attend today's wedding.

With just a quick glance, he knew that there were definitely more than a thousand people here, excluding the hotel manager, waiters and other people, it seemed that the number was far more than this.

I don't know how many are the security guards who were recruited by the Central Plains, and how many are real guests who came to the wedding.

It's just that the group of vigilant men in black suits didn't look like they were from an ordinary security company, and their serious expressions didn't look like they were here to maintain order at the wedding scene. Instead, they were always on guard for any accidents that might happen.

"You are Li Jia's brother, right?" The sound of the high heels falling on the carpet was mostly absorbed, Kudo Shinichi thought it was just a passing female guest, but unexpectedly the other party stopped to talk to him.

Kudo Shinichi straightened his body, calmly smiled and said, "Kudou Shinichi, it's a pleasure to meet you."

With red hair tied back, she is tall, elegant and bright, but the woman Kudo Shinichi has never seen before, I don't know if it is someone Li Jia knew in Yokohama.

Ozaki Koye has a natural demeanor, and when he lowers his eyes and raises his eyes, there is a gentle style carved into his eyebrows, "Ozaki Koye, you can be regarded as the elder sister of the groom."

Her current identity cannot be said to be Chuya Zhongya's superior. If she wants to introduce her identity to the bride's brother, after much deliberation, it is more appropriate to use her identity as a sister.

Just as Kudo Shinichi and Fujimine Toshika have different surnames, he naturally wouldn't ask why Nakahara Nakahara's sister who suddenly appeared was named Ozaki instead of Nakahara.

"Is Mr. Kudo satisfied with this wedding?" When she came out of the bride's room, she saw Shinichi Kudo looking out of the window solemnly. She was not surprised by the detective's sensitive sense of smell, so she stepped forward and simply turned his attention away. force.

Kudo Shinichi smiled politely while doing business: "There is nothing dissatisfied. Zhong also valued that Li Jia booked the hotel and auditorium for a day, and invited so many bodyguards to the scene. I think the wedding will go smoothly."

Without knowing the details of Koyo Ozaki, he would naturally not express his specific inner thoughts, but these words are not false. He was indeed a little surprised that Nakahara Nakahara was so generous, and even hired a large number of bodyguards who could carry guns to protect him. Wedding scene.

No matter from which aspect, they are the ones who most hope that the wedding can go on smoothly.

If he wanted to say something to Nakahara Chuya alone, he would naturally speak harshly after the wedding, instead of belittling Nakahara Chuya who he had known for many years in front of someone he had never met.

"Of course it will go well. Li Jia is such a lovely and considerate little girl, even if Zhong Ye makes her feel wronged, I will not let him go." Ozaki Momiji's eyes drooped slightly, and his voice was low with a smile.

If there are short-sighted people who try to provoke the port mafia and make trouble on such an important day today, they will definitely teach the other party a profound lesson.

Although most of the woman's guests have close relations with the police, Koyo Ozaki doesn't care about such a trivial matter, and whoever said that the port mafia has no contact with the Metropolitan Police Department or the police station at all.

Now they are all trying to clear the white and turn to the position of good people. Of course, most of the time they are still used to doing things in the way of the mafia. People with dark blood flowing in their bodies will naturally not leave the darkness so easily.

Kudo Shinichi's expression was slightly relaxed. Even though he knew that this was just a simple statement by Koyo Ozaki, there was still a big difference between being willing to do it and saying it and not being willing to do it or not.

He could also tell that the other party was not lying, that she really liked Li Jia, and felt that Zhong Yuan Zhong should treat her well.

"It's almost time," Kudo Shinichi said, and the door of the bride's room opened. Wearing a veil and holding a bouquet of flowers, she put on a perfect and exquisite makeup, releasing the tenderness and reserved beauty between the corners of the bride's eyes and brows, symbolizing the pure white beauty. The bride came out slowly, and he hurriedly nodded to Ozaki Koyo: "Sorry for the excuse, I'm going to the bride's side."

"Brother, you're here." Li Jia raised her head and smiled slightly, her blue eyes as vast as the waves of the sea bloomed with a soft and touching beauty.

She just stood there, raised her head and showed him her usual smile, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help feeling reluctance and sadness in his heart.

Even though Benjaya had moved out of the Kudo residence at 21-chome [-], Mihua Town two or three years ago, in his heart, his sister was still a timid and introverted child who had just arrived in Mihua Town.

The definition between married and unmarried is very clear and extremely vague.

After today, Li Jia will become the wife of Chuya Zhongyuan, an important companion who will spend the rest of his life hand in hand with him.

Relatives such as brothers, uncles and aunts will become less important people in her life. She doesn't even live in Mihua Town, and it is not easy to go back and visit frequently.

The distance between Tokyo and Yokohama is not too far, but it is still different from the roads that you can see when you go home and travel together when you go out.

Li Jia also wants to embark on her own path.

"...You are very beautiful today, but you are still a bit worse than when your sister Lan was a bride." Kudo Shinichi said a little insincerely. His wife is naturally the most beautiful bride in his mind, but it will be very difficult for his sister to leave home after becoming a bride. reluctant.

Kudo Lan blushed instantly, and said angrily, "Shinichi! What are you talking about today!"

It's been a few years since they got married, and it's not ashamed to say it now, and it's Li Jia's wedding, so what's the matter with her when she got married.

Li Jia's eyebrows were bent down, and she chuckled softly: "Of course, Sister Lan is the most beautiful in my brother's eyes, and I only want the most beautiful bride in my eyes."

She also doesn't mind Kudo Shinichi's straight man's mouth who can't speak. The siblings have been together for so many years. She knew that Kudo Shinichi's EQ was given to Mao Lilan, and he was very straight to other people, including his own mother.

The light and thin veil is fixed on the black hair that is coiled into a bun and hangs down naturally. It half covers the smooth and round shoulders to bring a half-covered holy beauty. The slender and slender neck is tightly wrapped by the neckline of the wedding dress. Eye-catching beauty.

In the end, Li Jia did not choose a gorgeous wedding dress with a big hem, but a high-necked wedding dress that best suited her and best reflected her character and temperament.

The intricate and gorgeous lace is woven into a pattern to cover the delicate skin, the front is tightly covered but a little care is left behind, and the beautiful lines and curves of the back are covered with a thin veil.

Kudo Shinichi took her arm with a little emotion, and whispered: "Let's go, let's go to the auditorium."

The distance between the hotel and the auditorium is not far, just stepping on the special passage specially prepared by the hotel for the bride and groom to arrive at the auditorium quickly without encountering others. In order to avoid collisions, ordinary guests will be discouraged from detours.

Naturally, Kudo Ran and Ozaki Koye couldn't leave, but turned to another direction and rushed to the auditorium. Only Kudo Shinichi and Li Jia were left on the long road, leaving room for them to chat with each other.

"Will you feel nervous?" He looked straight ahead, holding the bride who was twenty centimeters shorter than him.

In order to match the groom's height, Li Jia didn't even choose particularly tall shoes, standing next to Kudo Shinichi and looked a head shorter.

Li Jia was quiet for a moment, then whispered: "It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous."

But rather than nervousness, the feeling that rises from the bottom of my heart seems to be more anticipation and happiness.

"You won't regret choosing that guy, will you?" Kudo Shinichi's voice was calm and relaxed, but the weight in his words was quite heavy: "If you can't get along with that guy, we will divorce and come back to Mihua Town to live with us."

"Don't worry about being inseparable. Lan's mother is a lawyer who is very experienced in dealing with such cases." Fei Yingli has taken over divorce cases such as divorce due to emotional discord, divorce from a domestically violent wife, division of property, and alimony. Pass.

Their family is not short of money, and if Li Jia really leaves, they don't need Zhongyuan Zhongye to pay alimony, as long as they stay far away from their sight and never appear in front of Li Jia again.

Li Jia couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, I'm getting married today?"

In any case, you shouldn't say these frustrating words before the wedding.

"I know, I just said that so that you don't have to be afraid of the forces behind the Central Plains, you still have your brother." No matter what time Kudo Shinichi will be her most solid backing.

She was slightly stunned, turned her head to look at her brother's serious expression, and asked softly, "Does brother know Chuya's identity?"

She thought that Kudo Shin didn't know the job and identity of Nakahara Chuya.

"How could I let my younger sister marry a man who doesn't know anything?" Kudo Shinichi said with a low tut, "I'm a detective anyway."

It's not normal for a detective to conduct regular investigations. He usually doesn't accept such commissions, but it doesn't mean he's not good at investigating them. What's more, there are still people eager to hand over all the evidence for him to investigate thoroughly.

In addition to the information that Zhongyuan Zhongye sent over secretly, there were also people with malicious intentions who sent it by courier. The information and the information that Zhongyuan Zhongye euphemistically sent over turned the world upside down, and it was nothing more than some derogatory words.

The forces spread all over the Kanto Plain, involved in justice, logistics, banking, jewelry and other aspects, and even the local government can faintly influence it, a powerful force on the dark side.

The leader of the port mafia, Chuya Chuya.

It is also a very famous and powerful gravity user among the supernatural beings that have only appeared in the past few years.

Regardless of the thoughts of the person who sent another document, what we can know is that the identity and ability of Nakahara Chuya are indeed not ordinary people as stated in the document. In comparison, ordinary people like them seem to be able to do too little.

But Kudo Shinichi will never forget that even if supernatural beings appear and their world adds a history and past that he is unfamiliar with, modern society is still maintained and established by the majority of ordinary people.

The combination of the mafia and the supernatural seems to be very powerful, but after all, they still cannot escape the shackles and rules of living in society.

As long as a person lives in society, he will inevitably be subject to various restrictions. If Zhongyuan Zhongye dares to let his sister down, he will naturally not make it easy for him.

"...We all thought you didn't know." Li Jia lowered her voice with guilt, she wanted to bite her lip but was worried that she would touch the perfect lip makeup on Hua's bride's makeup.

"Isn't brother against me being with Chuya?" She looked up at Kudo Shinichi carefully, and asked in a soft voice.

She thought that after Kudo Shinichi knew the identity of Nakahara Chuya, he would firmly oppose them being together.

"Hmph, how many powerful people do you think I have seen your brother? It's just that there is nothing to be afraid of the mafia leader." Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, Kudo Shinichi did not treat him differently because of Nakahara Chuya's identity.

Whether it's good or bad.

In any case, they can be regarded as knowing family members who have been together for a few years. He knows what kind of people are in Zhongyuanzhong better than the person who expresses the materials and tries to provoke him.

A person can disguise himself in a day, but it is impossible to disguise his nature in a few years.

Knowing that Nakahara Chuya's ability is gravity, he finally understood who got them out of the Mermaid Cave back then, saying that the high tide could push them out of the cave so deep, and people who were closer to the cave than them were still inside. , no matter how you look at it, it is full of doubts.

But at that time, the Central Plains would be able to use gravity, and it didn't seem strange to transport them all out for treatment.

In the next few times, they hardly concealed it, but the incidents that Kudo Shinichi didn't think about unscientifically at the beginning were all helped by Nakahara Chuya and the others.

He didn't know who Zhongya Zhongya, the leader of the port mafia, was, but he knew what kind of person Zhongya Zhongya lived in their house.

Although he was reluctant to hand over Li Jia to that guy, he also believed that Zhong Yuan Zhong would definitely protect and cherish Li Jia.

"What's that sound inside?" The faint noise came from the auditorium, Kudo Shinichi frowned.

Just like the attraction of blood to sharks, even a drop of blood melted in 100 million times the water hundreds of meters away can smell and sense this special smell. The same is true for detectives.

Cases are to detectives what blood is to sharks.

He turned his head and glanced at Li Jia. He couldn't walk away easily at such a special moment, but he couldn't carry out the wedding normally regardless of going in.

"Ma'am, don't worry." The person who stopped him was Guangjin Liulang, who was dressed in a gentle and elegant manner, with a single-spectrum lens caught in his right eye, and said in a low voice and calmly: "It's just that a boy without long eyes made trouble in the auditorium in advance. We who will take him away."

Kudo Shinichi frowned. He originally thought that there were so many security forces at the scene to maintain the order of the wedding. After all, this is a wedding with many guests. If someone makes trouble, the perfect wedding will be ruined throughout the day, but now it seems that It was to guard against something else.

The men in black suits here are all members of the Mafia, and their ferocious faces reminded him of the police officers in the first search section of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. They all looked fierce and were not easy to mess with.

The young man in the uniform of the hotel waiter walked in front with a calm demeanor. The two mafias tightly held onto the man who had dared to kill in the auditorium just now, leaving no room for him to break free.

"The waiter in the hotel is also yours?" Kudo Shinichi lowered his voice and said, "Where are you going to take that guy?"

Guangjin Liulang calmly replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Nakaya said that today is a good day, and we will send the person to the police station intact after the wedding."

Now it's just a matter of taking the guy who doesn't know what to do today to teach him a good lesson. Naturally, he won't be allowed to go to prison easily. The port mafia interrogation team has not seen blood for three days because of the leader's wedding. Today I just want to teach that guy well Boy, don't just do bad things at other people's weddings.

Kudo Shinichi lowered his brows and closed his eyes in silence.

"Mrs. Hardworking is waiting outside the auditorium for a while. We need to clean up the stains inside." Guangjin Liulang didn't mind his solemn expression, but said to Li Jia with a smile.

She nodded slightly, and pulled Kudo Shinichi: "Brother, believe me."

He said he would send the murderer to the police station, and he certainly would not break his promise.

"Understood, let's wait here for a while." Kudo Shinichi let out a long breath. He should have known the style of the mafia, but as long as the person does not die, he can be sent to the police station to accept his punishment and atonement , he will not say much.

……

Walking through the red carpet step by step, holding the bride's arm, and handing her over to Nakahara Nakaya in the eyes of many guests, Kudo Shinichi said a word: "Don't make Li Jia sad."

For the rest, he should know the consequences even if he doesn't say anything about the Central Plains.

His younger sister is a very timid and gentle child. Even if she is hurt and sad, she will not tell her relatives and friends. He only hopes that she can live well with Zhongyuan Zhongya and don't go to the worst step.

Zhong Yuan Zhong also nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "I won't make her cry."

He is the man who loves Lijia the most in the world, so naturally he won't do anything to make her sad.

"I'll leave Lijia to you." Kudo Shinichi took two steps back, returned to where Kudo Lan was, and listened quietly to the priest reading his congratulatory speech.

The special stained glass at the back of the auditorium pieced together gorgeous and dazzling patterns, witnessing couples becoming husband and wife, exchanging rings and loving kisses.

Now it's Zhongyuan Zhongya and Li Jia's turn to swear under the witness of all their relatives and friends, that they will always cherish and love their partners like themselves.

They are not swearing to God or the priest's Bible, they are pouring out their love and firm belief to their lover.

"Now let the bride and groom exchange rings."

Zhongyuan Zhong also lowered his eyes and took the bride's hand, squeezed the ring that was shining with warmth and slowly pushed her finger, bowed his head and kissed her: "I love you, Li Jia."

She pursed her lips and showed a shy and shy smile, which was shallow and full of tenderness. She held the ring and put it on Nakahara Chuya, and said softly: "My heart is like you."

The love will never move, and the white capital will grow old.
