Therefore, the answer is obvious. The reasoning that Suzuki Sonoko said at the aquarium just now definitely did not come from her. Someone else also used her to speak. As for the person hiding behind the scenes...
He thought that maybe it was the clear water in front of him.
After being warned by Conan not to get too close to the son-in-law of the Suzuki family, Hattori Heiji suddenly became very interested in Shizuka Shizuka.
Interesting, you're the one that even Kudo has to be wary of? What secrets do you have?
This curiosity was also the motivation behind Hattori Heiji's deliberate coming over to test Shizuka Shizuka.
As they were chatting, they walked into the studio.
Because the banquet was about to be held, for some business reasons, the two invited sisters of the Suzuki family, especially Suzuki Ayako, had to appear at the banquet.
Therefore, the TV station staff temporarily suspended the detective interview with Hattori Heiji and instead moved forward the special interview with Shimizu Shizuka and Suzuki Ayako.
In response, Hattori Heiji gladly accepted it and even asked to stay in the director's room to help.
"Heiji, why do we have to stay and help?"
Standing behind a camera, Toyama Kazuha glanced at Suzuki Ayako who was having her makeup done by the makeup artist, and Shizuka Shizuka who was reading the script, and asked in a low voice.
"Idiot! Of course you should take this opportunity to observe them carefully!" Hattori Heiji tapped her head gently.
"Ah? Why?"
"Because Kudo felt that Brother Shimizu seemed to have a problem, so I wanted to help him... Of course, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, I'm not listening to him."
"Oh..." Covering his head, Yuanshan Heye glanced at him secretly.
[It's that Kudo again. I always see you talking about him, but I never see him. Are you communicating through telepathy...?]
"I always feel that you, Kazuha, are thinking about something weird." Hattori Heiji suddenly turned around and glared at her.
"No!"
"Alright, that's it! Hurry up, get ready!"
Finally, the makeup artist finished the work at hand and several hosts also came to their respective seats.
Shimizu Shizuka sat next to Suzuki Ayako, and the director stood behind the camera with a clapperboard in his hand.
"Okay, get ready... card!"
"boom!"
As soon as the director's voice fell, there were sudden bursts of loud noises outside the building, followed by a violent impact that affected the entire building.
"what!"
"What happened?!"
Feeling the building shaking slightly, everyone in the director's room was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly fell into panic.
"Shizuku-kun, was that sound just now an explosion?" Suzuki Ayako hurriedly held onto the table, a hint of panic in her expression.
"Hold on, don't worry."
After comforting her softly, Qing Shuijing stood up and walked towards the window covered by a curtain at the back of the director's room.
The sound just now must be a bomb. Have those people finally taken action?
It was such a loud explosion, what on earth did they detonate?
At the same time Qing Shuijing stood up, someone rushed to the window at a faster speed, raised his hand and pulled open the curtain that was covering the window.
"W-what?!" Hattori Heiji stared at the scene outside the building with wide eyes in disbelief.
Explosions sounded one after another in the distance, thick smoke rose into the sky, and the cross-sea bridge connecting the inland and this artificial island was collapsing and sinking into the sea under the precise blasting of high-yield bombs.
Among the four buildings in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, the Dongye Building, which is very close to the cross-sea bridge, seems to have been affected by the explosion. The entire building tilted to a certain extent, and even some tiny cracks were seen on the surface of the building.
[Oh no! Kudo and the others are still inside the Touye Building! What kind of shoddy construction is this? Is it so fragile?! ]
Next to her, Qing Shuijing also raised her hand to lift the curtain, looking at the cross-sea bridge that was being blown up section by section not far away, her eyes slightly narrowed.
[What a big deal, they blew up the entire cross-sea bridge. Are they trying to trap everyone here on the island? Then, what's next? Isn't it...?]
"Da da!"
Suddenly, there was a chaotic and dense sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the director's room. Qing Shuijing looked back and saw that the door that had been closed was violently kicked open from the outside, and a group of masked men with guns rushed in.
"Don't move! Put your hands up!"
"Stand still! Don't move!"
【It came really quickly. 】
Chapter 276 Kidd's Notice Letter
Later in time, in the Nishiba Building, Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko came to the banquet hall.
Although the banquet had not officially started yet, quite a few people had already gathered in the hall. Most of them were elite celebrities in society. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, standing in groups of three or five, and talking to each other in low voices.
"Yuanzi, it feels so quiet here..."
The scene was not as lively as she had imagined. Looking at the relatively quiet crowd around her, Mouri Ran leaned slightly towards Suzuki Sonoko, looking a little nervous.
There were also many ordinary people like Mao Lilan in the hall, but it seemed that they were also affected by the atmosphere in the hall. Everyone suppressed their voices and dared not talk loudly.
"Don't worry about it, no one will care about it."
Knowing what Mouri Ran was nervous about, Suzuki Sonoko patted her shoulder with a smile and deliberately raised her voice a little.
"Come on, follow me, let's go get a glass of wine first."
"Um……"
The appearance of the two naturally attracted the attention of many people in the hall. One of them left the crowd and walked towards them after seeing them.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Suzuki."
"Hello? Ah, good afternoon, Mrs. Mitsufuyu." Suzuki Sonoko looked back and saw that the person coming was none other than Owada Mitsufuyu, the new president of Ed Company.
"This should be Detective Mori's daughter, little sister Mori Ran, right?" Yamato Sanfu looked at the somewhat embarrassed Mori Ran and asked with a smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Sandong." Mao Lilan said quickly.
The two had met before at a party held by Ed's company. Of course, they only exchanged a few words and knew each other only then.
"Isn't Miss Suzuki here?" After a simple polite exchange, Yamato Mifuyu looked at Suzuki Sonoko and asked.
"My sister and brother-in-law have an interview in Nanye and will come over after it's over." Suzuki Sonoko replied with a smile.
"I see."
"By the way, Madam Sandong." Suzuki Sonoko suddenly came forward, with a grin on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Has the prince arrived? Is he in this hall now?"
"Your Highness? Are you referring to Prince Ferland of the Principality of Luvino?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's him, it's him!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly.
"Ah, if it was him..."
His eyes turned behind Suzuki Sonoko and glanced at the situation at the main entrance of the hall. Yamatoda Mifuyu's mouth corners slightly raised with a smile on his face.
"It seems like it just arrived..."
"Ugh?"
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned when she heard this, and quickly turned around, just in time to see a blond man in a dark green suit walking in.
The man was of medium build, with a slightly feminine look, and appeared to be no more than twenty years old.
With his handsome appearance, Philland attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as he entered the banquet hall.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am honored to be invited by the Moriyama Foundation to attend the first anniversary celebration of Clover Villa."
Without stopping, Philland walked through the crowd and went straight to the display cabinet surrounded by isolation tape in the center of the hall and bowed to everyone.
"Whether in terms of economy, politics or culture, my homeland, the Principality of Luvino, is a weak country. Fortunately, even in such a weak country like Luvino, God has given us an incomparably beautiful treasure, a treasure that is enough to shine throughout Luvino - the blue sea."
Inside the display cabinet is a very beautiful sapphire, which is bordered with silver. The silver decoration combined with the dark blue gem gives people a sense of noble and elegant beauty.
"In the 16th century, our ancestors of the Principality of Luvino first excavated it when they were building the capital. It is famous for its sapphires, which are as famous as the blue sapphires of the Kingdom of Andrew..."
"Ran, Ran! He is so handsome, he is so handsome!" In the crowd, Suzuki Sonoko held Mouri Ran's hand and shouted excitedly.
Fortunately, she still remembered the occasion, so she was able to suppress her voice and not shout out loud.
"Yes, yes..." Looking at her helplessly, Mao Lilan nodded with a wry smile.
If Sonoko wasn't such a nympho, she would have found a boyfriend long ago...
"So handsome and elegant! He is simply the most perfect man in the world!"
"Hmm? How does it compare to Mr. Shimizu?" Looking at her continuing "illness", Mao Lilan teased.
If she remembered correctly, this most perfect name had been used by Sonoko to describe Mr. Shimizu before...
"Oh, my brother-in-law is unique and incomparable." Suzuki Sonoko replied with an instant change of expression.
well?"
As the two were talking, Philander's introduction to the blue sea had come to an end.
"Finally, I will read aloud to you the letter written by my father, King Peru II of Luvino..."
As he said this, Philand took a gorgeously decorated letter from the butler behind him and opened it.
However, as soon as he took a look at the contents of the letter, Philander's face suddenly changed.
"What's going on?" Suzuki Sonoko, who had been watching him closely, asked puzzledly.
"This, this is not a letter from my father!" After taking a quick look at the letter, Philand said in a panic.
"what?"
"what happened?"
Suddenly, whispers were heard in the banquet hall.
"Personally from Prince Ferland of the Principality of Luvino, I will personally come to the Blue Sea at this one-year anniversary banquet, signing... Kaito Kidd?!"
"Is it Kidd's warning letter?!"
"Will Mr. Kidd show up this time too?!"
