Hear the words.
Laishengai pouted unhappily and muttered, "Eldest sister is a bad guy. She doesn't know how to lead and doesn't listen to other people's opinions..."
Lai Shenglei's eyes condensed, and he said quietly: "Xiao Ai, we just agreed yesterday that we would do a little homework every day during the summer vacation. Have you done it today?"
"Oh, actually it's nice to go home." Lai Sheng Ai gave an irrelevant answer.
Yukiko smiled and said, "Xiao Ai, your sister is asking you about your homework."
"Sister Yukiko, your role as a police officer is so amazing. I was moved to tears by you."
"Really? That's how kids are, they love to tell the truth, but I like it."
"Yukiko, have you been bribed already?" Hibari Eri looked at her best friend with amusement.
Yukiko laughed very happily, as if what Kisaki Eri said didn't exist and she just ignored it.
Also at this time.
A tall and burly figure walked in from the store entrance.
It was the butler of the Laisheng family - Yongshi.
Hoshino Bai Ze looked at this man, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the solution to what he had been thinking about before.
Just when he was about to speak, Lai Shenglei stood up and moved away from here with Yongshi, whispering something to each other.
There was a hint of sadness visible on Lai Sheng's face, but she quickly suppressed it.
I don’t know what else he said.
Yongshi nodded and left very solemnly.
Lai Shenglei smiled again, returned to his seat, and asked everyone:
"Yukiko, Eri, Shirasawa, do you have time tomorrow? I want to invite you to go somewhere to play."
"where?"
The three of them were a little curious, but more of them were puzzled as to why they were suddenly invited to go somewhere else to play.
Lai Sheng Lei said softly:
"Saitama Prefecture, I want to invite you to go there."
Chapter 0031: Where is Ryoko’s money?
"Xiaolei, why did you suddenly invite us to go to Saitama Prefecture?"
“Is there anything fun over there?”
In response to Yukiko and Kisaki Eri's questions, Ruisheng Lei did not answer in time, but instead looked at Hoshino Shirazawa who was silent beside her.
Waited for a while.
Lai Sheng Lei smiled and replied:
"Actually, I'm planning to go there to have fun and enjoy the [World's No. 1 Night Festival], so I wanted to ask you guys if you want to go with me?"
"The world's first night festival?" x2
Yukiko and Kisaki Eri were a little confused as they had never heard of this festival.
Hoshino Bai Ze raised an eyebrow.
He remembered.
This [World's No. 1 Night Festival] has appeared in Conan's plot.
I can’t remember which episode it was, but it was there, there’s no doubt about that.
However, the case in the book happened twenty years later, so nothing should happen now.
“Yes, it is still very famous locally.”
Lai Shenglei explained: "We hold this festival in the hope of a good harvest next year. How about you guys go and have a look? It will only take two days at most, and the official festival will begin tomorrow night."
"I'm OK."
"That's okay with me too."
The two women agreed, and then turned their eyes to Hoshino Bai Ze.
Hoshino Bai Ze shrugged:
"You are all fine, so of course I am fine too."
Next, they agreed on a meeting place for tomorrow, and after eating ice cream, everyone prepared to go back.
Wait until you get outside.
While everyone was dispersed, Xingye Bai Ze found Lai Sheng Lei alone and whispered:
"Xiao Lei, there is something I want to ask you for help."
"what's up?"
Lai Shenglei was curious. In the past few months of knowing each other, she had asked for help before, but was rejected every time.
Unexpectedly, Hoshino Bai Ze actually took the initiative to seek her help, which inevitably made her feel a little surprised and worried that he might have encountered some unsolvable troubles.
"Well, did you watch the movie today?"
"Looked."
"The director is Sakamaki Akishinoshi, you know that, right?"
"Ah."
Following these two questions, Lai Sheng Lei became even more confused. She really couldn't tell what Xingye Bai Ze wanted her to help with.
So she let her thoughts run wild and asked uncertainly:
"Bai Ze, you don't want to be an actor, do you?"
"No, no, I want you to help me contact Director Sakamaki, or to know his address. I have something to discuss with him."
"Ah? Are you sure you don't want to be an actor?"
"It's really not true."
Hoshino Bai Ze shook his head, but he didn't feel comfortable saying it out loud.
After all, this was the surprise he prepared for Yukiko. If he told it in advance, it wouldn't feel like a surprise.
The reason why I asked Shenglei for help.
Because her family is rich.
Rich people in this country have extensive networks of connections, and it is very easy to get things done.
He would not use the Tears of the Next Life to complete his cooperation with Sakuramaki Akishiro, he just wanted to find an opportunity to meet with Sakuramaki Akishiro and convince him alone.
Of course, the prerequisite is to find Sakuran Zhaoshi.
That's why I asked Sheng Lei to help me.
"Okay, I'll remember that." Lai Sheng Lei finally agreed without asking any more questions.
"Thanks."
Hoshino Bai Ze couldn't help but smile.
………………
………………
Five p.m.
Hoshino Bai Ze returned home.
As soon as the door was opened, a tabby cat ran over from the living room and squatted directly at the entrance, holding its little head high and staring at the person who opened the door without blinking.
One person and one cat.
Just staring at each other.
For a while.
The atmosphere seemed a bit weird.
"What's wrong?" Hoshino Bai Ze felt that she was a little strange and asked softly.
The tabby cat didn't answer, but its expression froze, and it stared at him with its eyes as if it was exerting force.
"Ryoko, remind me, what happened?"
The tabby cat still didn't answer, but its furry tail began to wag left and right.
Sudden.
It's like I thought of something.
Xingye Bai Ze slapped his forehead fiercely, looked at the little guy in front of him, and said softly:
"I am back."
Hear the words.
The tabby cat's expression finally relaxed. It nodded with satisfaction, stood up and walked towards the living room.
"Haha~"
Hoshino Bai Ze smiled and muttered as he changed his shoes: "What on earth did I raise, a daughter?"
Go to the living room.
No tabby cats were found.
Look toward the balcony.
Sure enough, the little guy was there staring down.
Hoshino Bai Ze said: "Ryoko, it's still early now, do you want to go out and play for a while?"
"Don't play."
"Really?"
"Don't play."
"Hey, I thought Ryoko would only be satisfied if she went out to play every day."
Ryoko withdrew her gaze from below, turned her head and looked at him, staring at him with a look of "Are you the cat or am I the cat?". After several seconds, she slowly said in a childish voice:
"Ryoko doesn't like hot weather, so she won't play today."
"I see. Then do you want to use a fan?"
"What is a fan?"
"Wait."
Hoshino Bai Ze stood up, took out the small fan in the bedroom, plugged it into the socket in the living room, and turned it to the lowest setting.
The tabby cat had already run over, and as it got close, it squinted its eyes comfortably.
"Is it cool?" Hoshino Bai Ze asked with a smile.
"Cool."
“It would be cooler if there was air conditioning.”
"Where is the air conditioner?" The tabby cat looked left and right, as if looking for an air conditioner.
“We don’t have air conditioning in our house.”
"Why not?"
“Because I have no money.”
"What is money?"
"That's it." Hoshino Bai Ze took out a few banknotes and coins, and explained, "Only those with this kind of pattern are money. If they are not like this, they are not money."
The tabby cat came closer, sniffed gently, and asked, "Do we have to exchange everything for this?"
