I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 212: Creating an Opportunity to Be Left Alone (1)

"Hayata, did you take the location vote?"

"I voted for the Tokyo Tower. Don't you think it's too short and should be blown up and rebuilt? What about you? Kishimoto, what did you vote for?"

"I wrote the name of the company. If it gets blown up, then we don't have to come to work, right?"

"Huh? Why didn't I think of that?"

"........."

At night, at Rice Flower Restaurant.

While waiting for the elevator, Shiraishi Hui heard people nearby eagerly discussing where to bomb.

He was very happy that so many people participated.

Everyone is still very enthusiastic!
I should have done this earlier.

"Hui, look!" Sonoko exclaimed, looking at her phone and said, "Tokyo Tower has the most votes now!!"

"The votes for the second and tenth place combined are less than half of his."

"No way?" Xiaolan leaned over to check her phone and said in surprise, "Isn't the difference in the number of votes too big?"

Shiraishi Eya also expressed her confusion: "No, do Tokyo people hate the Tokyo Tower so much?"

"That's what I mean." Sonoko also tilted her head, expressing considerable confusion.

"Although the Tokyo Tower is not that good, it shouldn't be hated so much, right?" Xiaolan said suspiciously.

Shiraishi touched her chin and said, "If that's the case... someone must have deliberately gathered the tickets together."

At this point, he already understood what was going on.

No matter what the other party's reason is, it doesn't matter to him.

It doesn't matter where you fry.

Xiaolan Yuanzi sighed and quickly ended the topic.

Xiaolan said with some anticipation: "I wonder what Officer Shiratori's sister looks like!"

Sonoko said with a smile: "I have seen her before at a banquet. She is a beautiful lady... But her taste is not very good. She chose a man who is not handsome to marry."

At this point, she found it a little hard to understand.

Xiaolan guessed, "Maybe the groom is very interesting! Just like some beautiful celebrities will marry comedians who are not good-looking... Isn't it because they are very interesting?"

"That makes sense!" Sonoko nodded in agreement.

While they were talking, the elevator arrived.

Shiraishi Hui and the other two took the elevator and went to the banquet hall on the seventh floor to attend the banquet.

Officer Shiratori was already waiting at the door.

The three of them came forward and said hello.

"Officer Shiratori, your sister is married, when will it be your turn?" Sonoko said in a teasing tone.

"Haha~~~Aren't I trying my best?" Officer Shiratori smiled happily.

"Then I'm looking forward to your wedding~~~" After greeting them with a smile, Sonoko took the two of them to the dinner.

Shiraishi Hui asked curiously, "Sonoko, are you familiar with Officer Shiratori?"

Xiaolan didn't say anything, but she was also curious. Sonoko briefly explained, "The Suzuki Group and the Shiratori Group have business overlaps, so I often see Officer Shiratori at dinner parties~"

Shiraishi understood that there was such a relationship between the two parties.

"Ran, Aunt Eri is over there!" At this time, Sonoko saw Eri Kisaki and reminded Ran again and again.

"Huh? Mom is here too?" Xiaolan was quite surprised.

Sonoko nodded and said, "Auntie Eri is a very famous lawyer and often appears at various banquets... After all, this kind of occasion is most suitable for discussing business!"

"Ah~ So that's how it is. Mom never talks to me about work!" Xiaolan said in a low voice.

Shiraishi Hui noticed that the child's mood was a little volatile and said, "The banquet is meaningless. Sonoko has attended so many banquets, but I have never seen her mention it."

"Yeah, the banquet is boring." Yuanzi said as she took three glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray and handed them to the other two people, saying, "Basically, everyone is here to discuss business and get to know business partners..."

After taking the champagne and saying thank you, Shiraishi said, "This is the fourth business card Auntie Eri has given me since I walked in."

"Mom is so great, yet she's still so busy!" Xiaolan then realized that her mother was different from her father. She really came to the party to work, unlike her father who always came to the party to drink and chat up beautiful ladies!

This made the little emotion that had just risen up in her disappear in an instant, and she happily took a sip of champagne.

At this moment, Hibiki Eri also noticed Xiaolan and the others, and hurried over, saying happily: "Xiaolan, Sonoko, Shiraishi-kun! Why are you here too?"

Xiaolan happily went up to her mother and took her arm, saying happily: "Dad is on a business trip to investigate a case, so we came here in his place!"

"Traveling to investigate a case?" Hibiki Eri frowned and said, "What kind of case can a third-rate detective like him investigate?"

As she said this, she cast a suspicious look at Shiraishi Hui.

Shiraishi Hui had no choice but to give a more convincing reason, saying: "The president of a company in Osaka suspected that his wife was cheating on him, so he asked Detective Maori to investigate and reimburse all expenses."

"Ah~~~So that's how it is." When Kisaki Eri heard that it was Kogoro Mouri who was going to Osaka to catch a mistress, it was a perfect match!
Suddenly, her frown relaxed and she felt it was natural and reasonable.

Just as they started chatting about family matters, Sato Miwako came over.

"Lawyer Fei, Xiaolan Yuanzi, long time no see." She exchanged a few pleasantries before turning to Shiraishi Hui and saying, "Shiraishi-kun, I want to ask you about some matters related to the case. Do you have time?"

"Of course... I'll leave for a while." After saying this to Xiaolan and the others, Shiraishi Hui walked to a place with fewer people with Sato Miwako.

Sato Miwako looked around and saw that there were no other colleagues. She said seriously, "Shiraishi-kun, your judgment is correct... Last night, Officer Zhiyang was killed in the parking lot!"

Bai Shihui was surprised and asked, "Didn't you remind him?"

"I reminded him, but the murderer still succeeded!" Sato Miwako sighed, feeling very complicated.

Shiraishi Hui was speechless. She had given such obvious warnings, but the murderer still succeeded.

The police are really unreliable, I have to do it myself!

Thinking of this, he said, "The murderer might have sneaked into the party and was waiting for you to be alone."

"How do you know?" Sato Miwako looked confused. She didn't understand how the other party deduced it.

Shiraishi evaded the question, "Now is not the time to explain... Go to the bathroom and create an opportunity to be alone, and see if you can lure out the murderer."

"Okay." Sato Miwako nodded in agreement.

It's out of trust, but also because I have no other choice.

She turned and went to the bathroom.

Shiraishi began to observe, and soon a man also left the banquet, and he immediately followed him.
