Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 717 The seemingly innocent Su Fang Hongzi, Conan's evil intentions

"You must be Ms. Su Fang."

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Kogoro Mouri immediately stepped forward.

"Hello, Detective Mori, I'm Su Fang Hongzi."

Su Fanghong smiled, her elegant demeanor resembling that of a high-society lady.

She appeared to be talking to Kogoro Mouri, but her gaze kept drifting, intentionally or unintentionally, towards Takeshi Onino.

Clearly, she was more interested in the tycoon than the famous detective.

Oni Takeshi was the person she really wanted to invite this time.

Su Fang Hongzi's gaze naturally did not escape Gui Yewu's eyes, to which he merely scoffed inwardly.

He knew very well what kind of person this seemingly kind and elegant woman was. She looked noble and elegant, but in Ono Takeshi's eyes, she was just a hypocrite, and her actions were despicable.

She was disdainful in her heart, but her face did not show any unusual expression. However, she did not show the enthusiasm and initiative that Su Fanghongzi had expected.

She merely nodded slightly, then didn't give Su Fanghongzi another glance.

Seeing Oni Takeshi's "aloof" demeanor, a fleeting look of disappointment crossed Su Fang Hongzi's face.

She then resumed her elegant demeanor, as if nothing had happened, and began exchanging pleasantries and conversation with Kogoro Mouri.

Before long, the other invited guests arrived, led by the twin maids.

"Is it really Coach Onino?!"

The group immediately spotted Oni Takeshi, who possessed a unique aura, and all of them showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Whether it's Matsudaira Mamoru, the professional baseball player known as the "King of Home Runs," or Nagara Haruka, the tarot card fortune teller who previously pretended to be profound, these people may have a certain degree of fame, but they are far inferior to Onino Takeshi.

Their reputation, status, and wealth are incomparable.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was true or not, they were as excited as fans meeting their idol in front of Oni Takeshi, and they all circled around him.

The neglected Su Fang Hongzi: ...

I'm the owner here, you know!

But I dare not complain about Oni no Takeshi, how infuriating!
Ono Takeshi handled Nagara Haruka and the others with ease, and secretly chuckled when he caught a glimpse of the unnatural expression on Su Fang Hongzi's face.

Am I being presumptuous?

However, Ono Takeshi had no interest in dealing with these people. Only after his reminder did Nagara Haruka and the others reluctantly turn their attention back to Su Fang Hongzi.

"Ah, Ms. Su Fang, are these your collection of masks? They look really nice."

Su Fanghongzi: ...

Could you be any more perfunctory? This is outrageous!

……

Ono Takeshi was the last of everyone to arrive, by which time night had fallen.

After visiting the masquerade house, Su Fang Hongzi arranged a dinner for everyone.

The formal charity dinner will be held tomorrow night, and most of the people here today are guests who arrived early.

At the banquet, Su Fang and Hong Zi skillfully navigated social situations, ensuring that no one was neglected.

Several times he tried to strike up a conversation with Ono Takeshi, but the latter was not enthusiastic and instead chatted and laughed with Mouri Kogoro.

A shadow crossed Su Fanghongzi's eyes, but she smiled again.

Oni Takeshi glanced at her, then looked away.

He couldn't be bothered with people like that.

Compared to Su Fang Hongzi, Ono Takeshi's gaze was more focused on Aikawa Touya on the opposite side.

The other person looked like he had blond hair, which made Kogoro Mouri very wary of him.

Lan Chuan Dongya showed no abnormality. When talking about his background and his adoptive mother Su Fang Hongzi, his words were full of deep gratitude.

Su Fanghongzi looked at him with a kind and gentle gaze.

It's a beautiful picture of a loving mother and filial son.

Oni Takeshi, however, keenly caught a fleeting glimpse of coldness in Aikawa Touya's eyes. Whenever he looked at Su Fang Hongzi, despite speaking words of gratitude, his eyes concealed an unyielding hatred.

It looks like this guy will still make a move tonight.

Ono Takeshi's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. The image of Aikawa Touya's uncontrollable excitement when he saw him flashed through his mind. Most people were faking it, but he was genuinely excited. It seemed that Aikawa Touya was indeed a fan of his.

And it seems the other person has...

Oni no Takeshi pondered for a moment.

For this reason, I'll intervene this once.

Ono Takeshi made a decision.

……

What upset Su Fanghongzi was that she didn't find a chance to... get close to Guiye Wu until the end of the banquet.

She went to great lengths, even risking her reputation, to invite this person, all so that she could have a chance to communicate with Oni Takeshi in person.

Once I've climbed onto Ono Takeshi's coattails, I can then use his name to run charity events and rake in as much money as I want.

However, the ideal was very rich, but the reality was very skinny. He hadn't been able to have a proper conversation with Oni no Takeshi all night.

Su Fanghongzi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that the other party didn't seem to care about paying attention to her.

"Impossible, it must be an illusion!"

Su Fanghong shook her head. There was still time. As long as she was willing to swallow her pride, she was sure she could win over Guiye Wu.

After the banquet, Su Fanghongzi instructed the twin maids to lead everyone back to rest.

He then pondered on his own how to please Oni no Takeshi so that he could gain considerable benefits from him.

No one gets up early without a reason; for someone like her, she'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

On the other side, Oni Takeshi was still thinking about how to stop Aikawa Touya from killing people.

I can hear Ran Mouri and Conan talking in front of me:

"Sister Xiaolan, the room is too big, I'm a little scared. Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Conan shamelessly attempts to ask for benefits.

Upon learning that Ran Mouri had lost her memory and forgotten her identity, he could once again legitimately take advantage of her.

However, this time he was going to be disappointed...

"No, Conan, boys shouldn't be so timid. You'll have to sleep in a room by yourself tonight."

Ran Mouri rejected the ill-intentioned young man without hesitation.

Does she really think she's stupid enough to know nothing?! You stinky Shinichi, you actually dared to try and take advantage of me! I won't let you succeed!

Conan's face immediately fell.

"...Sister Xiaolan, you've changed."

"Ok?"

"First, sleeping alone isn't a big deal, I'm a man, hahaha—"

Hearing Conan's awkward laughter, Kogoro Mouri said irritably, "You'll be sleeping alone tonight, so I can have some peace and quiet. You're such a young kid, yet you grind your teeth in your sleep, it's so noisy!"

Conan rolled his dead fish eyes.

You're talking nonsense and spouting nonsense. Do you really think I enjoy sleeping with a stinky old man like you?
The two, who loathed each other, glared at each other and then turned their heads away in disgust.

Looking at the father-in-law and son-in-law, Ono Takeshi chuckled to himself.

This bond was forged in the warmth of sleeping together in the same bed...

Conan's 'evil' attempt failed, so he had no choice but to obediently take his pillow and sleep alone in another room.

After saying goodnight to the others, Ono Takeshi returned to his room.

……

The night is getting darker.

The entire mansion fell silent.

All around was darkness, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the wind like ghostly figures. The night wind howled through the forest, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed across the rooftop...
