Because she clearly tasted the familiar scent of jasmine.

She and Sonoko have been good friends for nearly 20 years, how could she not know the smell of Sonoko's lipstick?

She is the angel Xiaolan, and also an undisputed good wife and mother, but she is also a jealous girl.

She didn't dislike Yuanzi, she was just jealous that Murong Zhen put her second.

However, from another perspective, if they encounter danger and Murong Zhen has to save her and Yuanzi in turn, she would be willing to be second. She also believes that Yuanzi will also compete to be second.

In the end, Kogoro Mouri benefited from the help of a baby who was held by his mother next to him. Thanks to his interference, Kogoro Mouri won the final victory and was the only winner.

The Ford Mustang belonged to him from that moment on. He even wanted the party to end early so that he could test drive this favorite sports car.

However, what he didn't know was that the banquet had just begun and the process was not going so smoothly.

"Well, congratulations to Senior Mao Li for winning the grand prize! The car keys are on the car, and the gas tank is full. After the banquet, you can drive away directly under the guidance of the staff!"

"It's almost time. Now it's time for the celebration to begin. I'm sure everyone is curious about why the stage behind me is covered with a curtain. Yes, there is indeed a surprise waiting for everyone behind this. Okay, in order to present a better effect, the lights need to be turned off for a while, so don't panic."

The guests' curiosity was aroused by Murong Meixu's keeping the secret.

Among them were Sonoko and Xiaolan. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated tacitly and pulled Murong Zhen to the front of the stage, the position closest to the stage.

To be precise, Xiaolan was not curious, but looking forward to it. She was looking forward to the exclamations of the guests after seeing Murong Zhen's masterpiece.

"Xiaolan, do you know what the surprise is? You seem to be looking forward to it."

Yuanzi, who left early at that time, naturally had no idea that Murong Zhen had painted that picture.

Xiaolan didn't keep the secret and told Sonoko directly: "Sonoko, the night you left, your husband painted a huge picture of Mount Fuji. It was as if Mount Fuji at its most beautiful time was moved into the painting. You will know when you see it later."

Murong Zhen on the side interrupted and said, "Lan, I may disappoint you. The paintings that will be exhibited later are not drawn by me."

"Ah? Why?"

"Your sister Mio's teacher naturally has to save face. In the end, he successfully completed the painting. Besides, this was something we had agreed on in advance. Mr. Kisaragi will be on stage soon."

"Oh, I see. Okay then. However, although Mr. Kisaragi is a master, I still think my husband's painting is the best."

"Senior Azhen, can you draw? And looking at Xiaolan like this, from what I know about her, even if she likes you, she won't exaggerate you like this. I wonder if you can draw a picture for me. In fact, I also like art and have been learning it."

"Okay, no problem. When I get a chance, I'll draw a picture for you. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Really? That's great, but I don't really like landscape paintings. I prefer figure paintings."

"I was planning to draw a portrait of you, of two people at that!"

"Portrait? Two people? Senior Azhen, I have a bad feeling..."

"You see, this is why you are still an apprentice instead of a teacher. It is easy to have wild thoughts. You know the second emperor of the ancient Song Dynasty of the Dragon Kingdom, Emperor Taizong of Song."

"I know a little..."

"Do you know the last empress of Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

"I know a little bit. Are they related in any way?"

"They are..."

As if he heard some sound, Murong Zhen and Yuanzi had not yet finished their conversation when he suddenly rushed onto the stage, lifted the curtain and went in.

The pitch-black darkness might affect the vision of others, but to Murong Zhen it was as bright as day.

When I went backstage, I saw Murong Meixu hanging in the air by a thin piano wire.

I saw her grabbing the bottom of the necklace on her neck with both hands and struggling desperately. Judging from the intensity of her struggle, it seemed that she was already at the end of her strength.

Chapter 467 A wave of unrest

Without any hesitation, Murong Zhen made a prompt decision, jumped up, leaped into the air, cut the piano wire with one knife, and saved Murong Meixu's delicate body, and landed steadily on the ground.

Murong Meixu, who was out of danger, leaned in Murong Zhen's arms and breathed in deep gulps of fresh air.

After a short rest, Murong Zhen gave her some pills to restore her strength.

"Mio, what happened just now? If I hadn't heard the cry for help, you would be in danger! Who was it?!"

There was also a hint of murderous intent in Murong Zhen's anxious eyes.

In the darkness, Murong Meio couldn't see the expression on Murong Zhen's face, but she could feel his anger from his tone, and she also felt warmth and a full sense of security from his body.

"Honey, I'm fine now, and my cry for help was so soft, how did you hear it?"

"Maybe we have a telepathic connection! You haven't told me who the murderer is yet."

"Hubby, don't worry, wait until the party is over, okay?"

"Well, all the paintings will be displayed, and the curtains will be drawn. I will be at a distance to protect you."

"Honey, no! I want you to stand by my side. Also, go backstage and talk to Chi Nami and ask her to put out your painting and put this one away."

At this time, nearly ten minutes had passed, the guests in the audience were already getting a little anxious, and the noise in the banquet hall was getting louder.

Suddenly, the lights in the banquet hall came on again, and the curtains on the stage slowly opened to both sides.

What appeared before everyone's eyes were four people standing on the stage and a huge picture of Mount Fuji behind them!

Although the combination of handsome man Murong Zhen and beautiful woman Murong Mio is very eye-catching, Mount Fuji behind them is obviously more attractive.

Especially as you look at it, you can seem to feel the coldness of the mountain.

This may be the legendary fascinating thing!

After a brief silence, various praises were heard.

In the center of the stage, Ruyue Fengshui, who was standing there with a cane, was calmly closing his eyes and feeling the praise from the audience. This was a scene he had never experienced before. At the same time, he was immersed in the praise without thinking too much. Shouldn't the guests' emotions be screaming after seeing the four people?

Until Murong Meixu's voice came from the side.

He went from closing his eyes to having his eyes wide open.

Because, in his opinion, Murong Meixu should be hanging in the middle of Mount Fuji. Why is she still talking beside him?

Moreover, there was a handsome man beside her. Even when he was young, he could only envy and jealousy.

"Everyone, this painting in front of you was painted by Mr. Murong next to me. I believe his ability should be obvious to all, so let us give him the warmest applause."

Beneath the thunderous applause, there were also some whispers.

"Wow! Dad is amazing! I didn't expect he could draw! It's much better than the portrait that old man drew for us last time!"

"I agree!" Ayumi's words were quickly echoed by Genta and Mitsuhiko!

"Lan, is this painting really drawn by Senior Azhen? It's so spectacular!"

"Yeah, that's him! That's right!"

There was a hint of pride and pride in Xiaolan's tone!

After seeing Xiaolan's expression, Sonoko exaggeratedly said:

"Wow! He's really my husband! So handsome!"

Seeing that Sonoko was teasing her, Xiaolan was temporarily unable to refute anything, because that was what she really thought in her heart. However, she recorded Sonoko's behavior in the little notebook in her heart, waiting for an opportunity to return it in the future!

After hearing what Murong Meixu said, Ruyue Fengshui finally reacted. He turned around and saw the painting on the curtain. He was sure that it was not created by him, and the signature on it also clearly stated the creator.

As a master of painting, he carefully examined the painting from a professional perspective and came to the conclusion: He admits defeat!

Looking at Murong Zhen and Murong Meixu, the golden boy and jade girl, Ruyue Fengshui couldn't hold back her excitement for a moment!

His body was shaky and he almost fell onto the stage.

Fortunately, however, he managed to steady himself in the end and avoided making a fool of himself in public.

Afterwards, Murong Mio introduced her art teacher, Rutsuki Minemizu, and the architect of the building, Kazama Hidehiko, and invited the three of them off the stage.

As for Murong Zhen's introduction, only his name was mentioned, and the relationship between the two was not revealed. On the stage, Murong Mio also maintained a relatively close distance.

Not announcing marriage or love relationships in public is an unwritten rule that everyone has always followed, and she naturally would not break the rules.

In the following time, Murong Mio talked about the past and current situation of the Tokiwa Group, and finally looked forward to the future, and also warmed up for the upcoming game - Cocoon.

Hidehiko Kazama, who was off the stage, was in a corner, quietly editing a message and sending it out.

Gin appeared on the rooftop of a high-rise building not far from the Twin Towers. Unlike before, this time, Gin had a sniper rifle in his hand, while Vodka, who had been following him, was missing.

He opened the message on his phone, then took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed a button with an expressionless face.

Gin looked calm and composed, as if pressing the button did not detonate a bomb but instead switched a TV channel.

In the banquet hall, Murong Meixu, who had already finished her speech, was still giving her final remarks when suddenly, there was a loud noise from the building and it shook slightly.

However, there were actually two explosions, because in addition to the audible explosion on the 40th floor, an explosion also occurred in the distribution room on the fourth underground floor.

Not only the people upstairs were frightened by the explosion, but also a police car on standby on the roadside downstairs, with Officer Megure, Officer Sato, Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba sitting inside.

Because of the two cases that happened before, they felt that something else would happen, so they waited here in advance. Sure enough, it was just as they expected, but when they saw the raging fire on the 40th floor, they realized that it might be more complicated than they imagined.

Officer Megure immediately called for support from the fire department and more police officers because it was not just a fire, but also an explosion.

At this time, the banquet hall on the 75th floor of Building A was plunged into darkness and chaos.

It was not until Murong Zhen's loud and firm voice rang out that things slowly calmed down.

"Everyone listen to my command! I will lead you all to escape!"

Chapter 468 Wave after wave

Because, in the past two days, Murong Zhen has been staying in the Twin Towers skyscraper, and the building is also planned to be handed over to Butian Property Management for management in the future. Murong Zhen also took the opportunity to learn some things about the building, especially some of the layout, escape routes and fire-fighting facilities.

At this moment, he couldn't see the suspect's ultimate goal, but the means had been analyzed, which was that not only did he use a bomb to destroy the power supply, but he also destroyed the backup power supply.

Fortunately, the suspect didn't know or did it on purpose, but the independent power supply of the sightseeing elevator from the top floor to the first floor was not damaged. In other words, the elevator can be used to directly send people from the top floor to the first floor, but it is obviously not enough for the nearly 200 people at the banquet.

"Children, seniors over 60, and women, please take this elevator first. Remember! Although the elevator is limited to 9 people, this is a safety value based on the weight and body shape of adults. If there are only seniors, women, and children, please try to get as many people in at a time."

"The rest of you follow me up the stairs to the 60th floor, then go through the corridor between the two buildings to Building B and take the elevator downstairs."

The five little members of the Junior Detective Team were arranged to go downstairs first. These three children, as well as Ai and Conan, had to go downstairs to a safe place first, and only then could Murong Zhen feel truly at ease.

As for the women around him, Murong Zhen turned around and said to them: "Lan, Chi Nami, Mio, Sonoko, the four of you stay close to me. Wherever I go, you go too. I will only feel at ease if you are by my side."

"Husband~" x3

"Ah Zhen~"

The large group began to go down the 15-story building. Fortunately, the emergency indicator lights provided lighting, allowing the large group to go down safely.
