The right way to polish a diamond

Suzuki Sonoko's banquet was as grand as expected, and the venue was the most luxurious banquet hall under the Suzuki Consortium, which was large enough to accommodate all the invited guests.

The guests have different identities, and they are all outstanding in their respective fields. Looking around, celebrities representing wealth, status, and fame are all among them, which shows the broad network of Suzuki Foundation.

From this perspective, the Suzuki consortium's invitation is a help to Mori's company.

Although the port Mafia family has a big business, Sen's company is just a new enterprise.Mori Ogai founded the company after he came to power. At the beginning, he only had a place with the reputation of the port Mafia.

Banquets are a great place to network.

Zhongyuan Zhongye is also familiar with this kind of thing.

As the host of the banquet, the Suzuki family is approachable enough, no matter the identity of the other party, they are all friendly and friendly.

In this case, as long as there are winking people, there will be no irritating behaviors in certain places, at least they can maintain superficial friendliness, and people who have no winking will not be invited at all, and the Suzuki consortium will not let people Ruin such an important banquet.

Under the luxurious crystal lamp, Suzuki Sonoko formally walked to the front of the stage wearing a dress and holding his father's hand.She walks calmly, with a faint smile on her face and age-appropriate makeup. The dress on her body is gorgeous and youthful, and she wears a ring inlaid with pink sapphires on her hand.

The current leader of the Suzuki Consortium introduced his daughter to everyone. Suzuki Sonoko stood on the stage and bowed slightly to the guests. An invisible handover was completed.

Nakahara Chuya toasted with everyone to congratulate Sonoko Suzuki on his birthday. He took a sip of the champagne in his glass and watched everything at the banquet indifferently.

90.00% of the young talents at this banquet came for Suzuki Sonoko. The wolf-like greed was hidden under the politeness. Nakahara also felt uncomfortable instinctively, but he didn't show it on his face.

Suzuki Sonoko stepped off the stage and started socializing with his father.Between the toasts and cups, everyone talked and laughed, and it was a joyous scene.

Nakahara also glanced around, but he didn't see Osamu Dazai who was elusive, and his heart was relieved.On such an important occasion, it would be no good if that guy was there.

Kudo Shinichi, who attended the banquet, also saw Chuya Nakahara. Among a group of successful people, Chuya Nakahara was still conspicuous.

His stable temperament allowed him to face the older generation of guests with ease, and his young and handsome appearance made him attract the attention of the younger generation of guests.

There are not many rich ladies who show such obvious nympho face control like Suzuki Sonoko, but everyone has a love for beauty.Judging from the eyes of the girls constantly floating on Nakahara Chuya, Kudo Shinichi is sure that if he delays any longer, he will be ready to compete with a group of girls for Nakahara Chuya's attention.

Kudo Shinichi held a wine glass in his hand, and was about to go to Nakahara Chuya to say hello.

At this moment, Mao Lilan's voice sounded beside Kudo Shinichi, "Shinichi."

"Lan, what's the matter?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Mao Lilan suspiciously, "Aren't you chatting with Yuanshan and the others?"

This banquet is Suzuki Sonoko's home game. As the protagonist, she has to greet her father and then join Mao Lilan and the others.Just now Mao Lilan was chatting with Toyama, Ye, and Sera Masumi.

Hattori Heiji also came, and now he is being held by Toyama and Ye, telling him not to run over untimely and disturb the conversation between Mori Ran and Kudo Shinichi.

"Xinyi," Mao Lilan said, "can we talk?"

Kudo Shinichi said in surprise: "Now?!"

Merlin nodded firmly.

Kudo Shinichi glanced in the direction of Nakahara Chuya with some embarrassment, and said to Mao Lilan: "Sorry, Lan, I have something to do now, let's talk about it later, okay?"

No way, Chuya Nakahara is different from Osamu Dazai. The latter can be found by visiting the Armed Detective Agency, but Chuya Nakahara...he can't go to the port Mafia to find someone!He finally had this opportunity, and he couldn't let it go.

Mao Lilan wanted to refuse, but looked at Kudo Shinichi's eager eyes and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Kudo Shinichi heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled at Mouri Ran, "Thank you, Ran."

Mao Lilan watched Kudo Shinichi leave her side, lowering his eyes slightly.

"Mr. Nakahara, we meet again." Kudo Shinichi found a suitable gap, and came over to say hello to Nakahara Nakaya.

Although Nakahara is also a Mafia, judging from the attitudes of Atsushi Nakajima and other members of the Armed Detective Agency, the other party will not be a vicious person.Port Mafia is not the same as the hidden black organization.

"Kudou-kun." Nakahara Chuya raised the cup in his hand and asked in a friendly tone, "Have you had a fight with your girlfriend?"

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, realizing that the scene of him talking to Mao Lilan had been seen by Nakahara Chuya, "No, you misunderstood."

Kudo Shinichi secretly raised his heart, Nakahara Chuya was also paying attention to him, why?

Kudo Shinichi continued the topic: "Actually, after knowing that I am Conan, some problems did arise between me and Ran. In my opinion, both Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi are me, but in Lan In my eyes, they are two people."

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded, and responded politely, "Sorry, I didn't expect it to have such a big impact on you."

"It's not Mr. Nakahara's problem." Kudo Shinichi said, "However, I didn't expect that there would be people who would still live with their original identity after being reduced. Mr. Nakahara, isn't he afraid of being found out, so people will come to his door?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows, and his words carried a natural arrogance, "They will come if they dare."

Kudo Shinichi nodded secretly, looking at Chuya Nakahara's attitude, he would not give up on the opponent who attacked last time.

He said frankly: "I have been investigating the last attack recently, and this time I came to Mr. Zhongyuan for this reason."

Nakahara Chuya asked, "Did Kudo-kun find out anything?"

No wonder I saw Kudo Shinichi with the members of the Armed Detective Agency last time. I don't know what kind of trick Dazai Osamu put on his bullet.

Kudo Shinichi tentatively asked, "Is the relationship between Mr. Nakahara and Mr. Dazai... okay?"

Did Nakahara know that Osamu Dazai was attacked by someone?

Nakahara Nakaya looked at Kudo Shinichi in confusion, he thought for a while, and didn't know whether his relationship with Osamu Dazai was good or not, so he took a sip of wine noncommittally.

Kudo Shinichi frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "The last time I went to Yokohama to find Mr. Dazai to understand the situation, just before you invited us to dinner, I encountered Mr. Dazai entering the water."

"Oh," Zhong Yuanzhong also understood, "are you scared by that bastard?"

Kudo Shinichi choked, and looked at Chuya Nakahara with question marks all over his head, isn't this the right reaction?Why don't these two people play cards according to the rules every time they mention each other?

Zhong Yuan also said: "I'm used to it."

I don’t know how much sadness is hidden in the understated words. Thanks to Dazai Osamu, a suicidal maniac, the flow rate of every river in Yokohama, the flow direction of every sea, every tree... This is an exaggeration, every tree can hang people The trees in the Central Plains are also well known.

Zhong Yuan also added: "It's not just me, everyone around Dazai should be used to it."

Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized: "No wonder everyone in the Armed Detective Agency reacted that way after I rescued Mr. Dazai last time."

"It was you who saved him..." Nakahara Chuya narrowed his eyes, and had some guesses about the reason why Osamu Dazai was in a bad mood last time.

"Even if that's the case... no, it's already like this, do you just let it go?" Kudo Shinichi asked in disbelief.

"Dazai doesn't need it." Nakahara Chuya said with the tone that this topic has ended, "If you want to discuss this, then you are looking for the wrong person."

Kudo Shinichi didn't go any further, he just wanted to know if the relationship between Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai was good at first.

"Mr. Nakahara knows Mr. Dazai very well."

Nakahara Chuya said: "After all, we have known each other for so long, even people who hate me will understand."

Kudo Shinichi asked curiously: "Have you two known each other for a long time?"

"Well, it's not a secret, we've known each other since we were 15 years old." Nakahara Nakaya narrowed his eyes, recalling Osamu Dazai when we first met, and said with disgust, "That guy has been such an asshole since then .”

15 years old?

Kudo Shinichi blinked his eyes and thought in amazement: Is the Ability Secret Service Department an official organization?Do you still employ child labor?

In this gap, Suzuki Sonoko came over and inserted into their conversation generously, "Mr. Zhongyuan, thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

It's easy to see if the gift was chosen with care.But it wasn't time to open the presents yet, Suzuki Sonoko just found the most suitable topic to join their conversation.

Nakahara also made a gesture of toasting, and said with a smile, "As long as Miss Suzuki likes it."

Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes with a smile, she came here at this time with only one purpose, to get Kudo Shinichi away from Nakahara Nakaya.But in terms of Kudo Shinichi's character, conversely, it's much easier to get Nakahara Chuya away from Kudo Shinichi.

Suzuki Sonoko took Nakahara Chuya away in the name of socializing in a few words, passed through the crowd, and gave Mao Lilan a wink.
