"But my intuition still tells me that my guess must be correct!"
Kogoro Mouri is very confident. After all, he almost never makes mistakes when investigating and analyzing various relationship issues between men and women, as well as various extramarital affairs between couples.
He believed that this time would be no exception.
But Mao Lilan still didn't believe it.
"Then according to what you said, Dad, why did Mr. Shimizu and Ms. Yoko pretend not to know each other?"
"I can't figure this out either. Could it be that there is something they want to hide between the two of them? Could it be that...these two had a relationship that ended in the past?!"
Kogoro Mori has a lot of imagination.
Chapter 458: Dark-skinned and Blonde Girls Everywhere
【Shimizu Shizu and Okino Yoko...】
In the lobby of the guesthouse, just as Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri were whispering to each other, Haibara Ai stood quietly behind them, listening to their conversation with her ears perked up.
[Is it possible that these two people knew each other before...]
Although she was not impressed with the uncle's reasoning ability, she thought carefully about the scene just now and felt that what the uncle said did make some sense.
Just now, when Shizuka Shizuka was supporting Okino Yoko, although the two of them only exchanged two short sentences, their expressions and reactions at the time did give people a feeling that they had known each other for many years.
It's incredible.
But what Haibara Ai was more curious about was, if these two people really knew each other before, then why did they hide it from each other just now?
Is it true, as the uncle speculated, that the two did not want their past "relationship" to be exposed to Suzuki Ayako?
So Shizuka Shizuka is a scumbag?
wrong!
Haibara Ai quickly shook her head, getting rid of the strange thought in her mind.
[I was almost led into a ditch by the uncle...]
According to past experience, anything that the uncle confirmed with certainty can usually be ruled out immediately.
"Sister! Brother-in-law! Xiaolan!"
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko, who had gone out to look for the Junior Detective League, also returned to the lobby of the guest house.
"Yuanzi, you came so quickly. I thought you would be back in a while..."
"Haha! I'm lucky. I ran into these three little devils not far away from home. It looks like the party hasn't started yet?"
"Yeah, but it will be soon." Mao Lilan nodded in response.
At this time in the hall, as it was almost time for the banquet to officially begin, most of the guests had gathered here, coming and going and chatting with each other.
Just as everyone had guessed before, except for the detective, everyone else in this hall is a celebrity with some fame in society.
【Huh? 】
Suddenly, a blonde and dark-skinned figure flashed past in Haibara Ai's peripheral vision.
【etc! 】
She quickly turned her head to look, quickly walked around several figures in front of her that blocked her view, and then suddenly stopped.
[It's him?! ]
Just a few meters in front of her was a dark-skinned man wearing a sun hat.
The man had short blond hair and a handsome face. He was talking to someone in the hall. His big front teeth looked particularly white against his dark skin.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"
The Junior Detective Team noticed Haibara Ai's sudden reaction and hurriedly followed.
Haibara Ai turned her head to look at them, hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed at the blonde and black-skinned person in front of her.
"Look."
"Ok?"
The three of them looked in the direction she pointed, and immediately a look of delight appeared on their faces.
"It's Amuro-nii-san!"
That’s right, the blond and dark-skinned guy is Toru Amuro.
This person loves to work part-time and is said to have several jobs, one of which is in the Poirot Café where Conan and his friends often go.
In addition, he is said to be working as a detective and occasionally accepting commissions.
Of course, these are just the superficial identities he uses to disguise himself.
His true identity is an undercover agent sent by the Japanese Public Security Bureau to the Black Organization, codenamed Bourbon, and his real name is Furuya Rei.
So, why did he appear at this banquet?
Is he representing the Japanese Public Security Bureau or the Black Organization?
This is something that Haibara Ai must make clear.
"Amuro-nii-san!"
But before Haibara Ai could think of a way to test the situation, the three little ones beside her ran forward happily.
"Wait, you guys..."
"Ok?"
Toru Amuro in front heard the voice, looked back, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Ah, it's you guys?"
Looking at the three little ones running over enthusiastically, Amuro Toru half-knelt down and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"Uncle Maori brought us here!"
"Oh~ So it's Detective Maori?"
Upon hearing this, Toru Amuro raised his head and saw Kogoro Mori and others not far away. At the same time, he also saw Haibara Ai right in front of him.
The two looked at each other, and Huibara Ai looked away.
"Where is that clever little detective? Didn't he come with you this time?" Looking away, Toru Amuro continued to ask with a smile.
"Conan has a cold and didn't come!" Knowing who he was asking about, the three little ones replied.
"I see……"
"Brother Amuro, do you and Miss Amemiya know each other?" After Amuro Toru finished asking, the three little ones looked at the woman next to Amuro Toru who had just talked to him and asked hurriedly.
The woman standing next to Toru Amuro is the recently famous beautiful reporter and host Amemiya Megumi. Although she is still a newcomer who has just entered the industry, she has obtained a lot of resources from the TV station with her excellent abilities. She can be seen in many important program interviews. She currently lives on the first floor of the Mori Detective Agency, so she also knows the friends of the Mori family.
Of course, Haibara Ai also knows her other identity.
Amemiya Megumi, who used the alias Mizunashi Rena, was also one of the cadres of the Black Organization, codenamed Keel.
It has been confirmed in the incident in Curacao that his true identity is an undercover agent planted by the CIA inside the Black Organization.
"Mr. Amuro and I met by chance during a previous interview." Rena Mizunashi bent down, put her hands on her knees, and looked at the few people with a smile.
"Eh--"
The three kids first looked at Amuro Toru, then looked at Mizunashi Rena, and suddenly asked, "Amuro-san, there shouldn't be any special relationship between you and Amamiya-san, right?"
"Why, why do you ask that?" Toru Amuro was almost short-circuited by the magical brain circuits of these three little ones, and he tried his best to keep a smile on his face.
"Because you two seemed very close just now, whispering to each other the whole time..."
"Brother Amuro, if you do this, it will make Sister Xiaozi sad, right?"
The 1984 World Cup was held in Beijing, and the 1984 World Cup was held in Beijing. The 1984 World Cup was held in Beijing, and the 1984 World Cup was held in Beijing.
"Why did the topic bring up Miss Azusa again?" Toru Amuro felt like he was about to break down.
"Haha, what an interesting kid."
Mizunashi Rena at the side couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Amuro Toru, her eyes flickered for a moment, and said meaningfully: "It seems that Mr. Amuro's daily life is very good..."
"Ms. Amemiya, please don't cause me any trouble after saying this, okay?" Toru Amuro replied with the same smile.
The three kids vaguely felt that the two of them seemed to have hidden meanings in their words, but they couldn't figure it out.
"how could be……"
Smiling, Mizuno Rena squatted down and looked at the three little ones in front of her.
"Smart little guys, do you want to guess the real purpose of Mr. Amuro and I attending this banquet?"
Her words instantly aroused the curiosity of the three little ones.
"Eh? What is it? Isn't it just attending the party?"
"Hey, Amamiya..."
Realizing what she wanted to say, Amuro Toru frowned slightly and reminded her.
But Mizunashi Reina ignored him, and leaned close to the ears of the three little ones and whispered:
"Actually, there is a very dangerous fugitive hiding in this tourist area. Mr. Amuro and I are here specifically to catch this fugitive..."
Chapter 459: Has it been discovered?
Inside the reception hall, the banquet officially began in a harmonious atmosphere.
"Look! Ms. Igarashi is on stage!"
"Dear guests, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."
At the front of the reception hall, as the red curtain slowly opened to both sides, the spotlight focused on the stage. Igarashi Kiyoko, wearing a black dress, stood in the circle of light, looking at the people below with a smile on her face.
“Welcome to Edo-dori and our guest house. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this charming street and the banquet at the guest house in the coming days.
