994: Fish pond and Shura Field
No matter how Conan sighs, the president of Sijing Group, who is standing in the center of applause, feels obviously good.
He looked around the guests, his eyes stayed on Tangze for a short time, and soon moved to Kogoro Mori who had already stood at the table and ate. He raised his hand decisively and signaled in his direction: "Before the banquet officially begins, please allow me to introduce today's special guests to you. This gentleman has solved many very difficult cases. To this day, among so many excellent detectives, the frequency of newspapers is still among the best..."
Conan, who realized that he was going to introduce Kogoro Mori, couldn't help but look at Akichigoro who was standing outside.
The reason why I left some room was probably because there are still people with higher newspaper rates than Kogoro Mouri.
Akichigoro, who was hiding in the crowd, still had that iconic smile on his face, and the frequency of applause was very restrained. "What's wrong with you? Do you have any ideas when I saw Akichi-kun appear here?" Seeing that Conan's vision was not at the center of the banquet, and he didn't go to see Kogoro Mori, Ran Mori bent down slightly and asked in a low voice.
To be honest, Conan's view of Akizhi is now very complicated.
On the one hand, judging by the several intersections between him and Kumer, Kumer, who has the code name, is a very dangerous character. He has his own means for violent crimes and conspiracy to assassination. If his and Hattori's judgment is not wrong, then Kumer, who has the detective guise, will only be a more powerful weapon in the hands of the Black Organization, and will definitely be able to better cover up the traces of the organization in various events.
On the other hand, as Akitoro's detective, the distance between Conan himself is not that far.
He is indeed an excellent detective, with good business skills and amazing insights. He has solved many big and small cases for Tokyo, and his image is presented to the public is even more perfect.
At the same time, he is Tang Ze's friend. Tang Ze personally guaranteed the credibility of this person. Through Tang Ze's request, he was even willing to reveal some deep secrets to Kudo Shinichi. Not to mention that time in Ireland, if Akitoro and Ireland themselves had not responded calmly, they would have been exposed to the guns of the armed gin, and it would be difficult to see the sun the next day.
This complex attribute entangled in this person's identity, which rarely gave Conan some thoughts about the black-clothed organization, which made him unable to help but think of Haibara, Akai Hideichi who defected from the organization, and even Belmode, who had only had a brief meeting with him...
After the new doctor came back, he said that many students from Didan had sincerely thanked the false him...
"... It's nothing, I just think it's a coincidence." Conan, whose complex thoughts flowed through and his expression control ability had improved a lot, turned back as usual, "I've met him again."
If he had just become smaller, when he encountered this situation, he might be more suspicious and alert, keep a distance from Akatsuro as much as possible, and completely regard the other party as a complete enemy.
As for now, perhaps it was the influence of Joker, or perhaps the dark shadows entangled in Tang Ze and Haibara reminded him all the time that he could have relatively calmly divided and considered the impact of the different background colors of this person.
Even if the other party is likely to be an unforgivable criminal, it is better to have more goals that can be united than to set up more enemies for yourself in the face of such a huge existence in the organization.
"Yes, I feel that my father's entrustment has always been related to his recent work. Oh no, there should be no entrustment today, right?"
"So, it's a coincidence..."
Conan responded as if nothing had happened, thinking secretly.
——If you can, it is better to try your best to stop this person from stepping into the abyss.
Even if you ignore the organization's problems, it is a good thing to have an extra detective in the world who is willing to break free from the darkness and enter the light.
"... This detective has been famous in Tokyo for a long time. Recently, he has solved many major cases related to the safety of citizens. He helped the little girl a lot a few days ago. It is also our honor to invite him today. Mr. Kogoro Maori, thank you for your arrival!"
Conan's attention was deviated for a moment, and the organizer there had finished his long praise, stretched out his hand and introduced Kogoro Maori solemnly. Rika Shii bent over with a smile, bowing in that direction with a courtesy and thoughtful expression.
The audience's eyes then turned to the direction he pointed, and then more words of indescribable compliments or sincere praise came over.
"You are the famous one-"
"Oh, Akira Kogoro Heisei!"
"I have carefully understood the cases you participated in, it's amazing!"
"Recently, my reasoning is very exciting, and I also have the style of a mature detective when handling commissions..."
Kogoro Mori was not very embarrassed to put down the half-eat plate in his hand, and he bowed to respond: "Thank you, thank you, everyone is polite."
"...What's wrong?" Takuya Mifun also noticed that the people standing beside him clapping and asked in a low voice, "Is it because Uncle Siyi completely ignored you? He may just not recognize you, and he should have no other intentions..."
Saying this, Takuya Mifun was very clear about the considerations of the Siyi family.
Akichigoro is too young and very popular among young people, but when it comes to Lao Qian's circle, everyone will always instinctively prefer Maori Kogoro's more reliable image.
In the current occasion, Kogoro Mori was praised for adding more attention to their banquet, so even if he recognized Hiroshi, the other party would not look at him in front of him.
"It's nothing. Mr. Shiii is all about facts, and I respect senior Maori." Tang Ze blinked and quickly regained the frequency of applause. "I just think he was a bit forced to get in touch. As far as I know, Detective Maori just found Miss Rika's dog for his family..."
"It sounds like it's really Rika's style... You know Detective Maori, you can't tell..."
"Ah, yes, my boss is the neighbor of Detective Maori..."
Dang Ze talked to Takuya Mifune all the time, but his eyes were always on his interface panel.
Confirm that the small dot that marked Conan was turning green again, Tang Ze sighed silently in his heart.
In addition to real-time maps, his interface also marks the points of different targets. After Noah engraved his core data on the K-shaped brooch bound by Tang Ze, his ability was greatly enhanced.
When facing him with different identities, Conan's dot color has been changing. Now he has turned green from a yellow that represents neutrality. It is obvious that Conan is reflecting and scheming again, and has also determined his wise identity to the part that can be leveraged, and is ready to start his regular process of inciting real and fake wine.
It's still too easy to cheat a little bit, little detective.
Thinking of this, his smile was just a little more obvious.
I hope this guy can really firmly uphold his ideas and not be affected by the drastic changes.
As the president of Sijing expressed his admiration for Akitokoro, the fish in the pond of Sijing Rika who had just shown compelling or hostility to Tangze due to the closeness of Sijing Rika, soon came over to Maori Kogoro again. After finishing the toast, the president of Sijing said his toast and wished everyone a happy time at the banquet, so he started cutting and distributing the cake. Sijing Lihua even walked into the famous socialite and went to socialize with other young ladies.
So Takashi Ichizhi and Yuji Nikaido used the same trick again, and once again delivered a business card to Kogoro Mouri, recommending it himself, and the afterglow of his eyes always looked at Rika Shiyi, leading the topic to her almost suspiciously.
"It's really worthy of being the famous detective designated by the eldest lady!"
"Yes, Miss Lihua has always had a high vision!"
"You must have solved many difficult cases for her! Alas, the matters of wealthy families are indeed quite complicated..."
"Where are where..." Kogoro Mori responded to the loud praises of the two of them blankly, with a subtle expression.
Is this flattering the master? What's the situation with these two people...
"Synopsis." Takumi Mifune, who also saw this scene, also sneered, "I was still trying my best to praise Zhizhi just now. If you want to please the lady, you don't have to be so charming, right? He is just a middle-aged detective with an ordinary appearance. Even if he is indeed very good, he is not like you praise him."
As he said, he tightened his arms on Tang Ze's shoulder, trying to express his strength to support Kumi. These words were obviously a private product.
"There is no need to speak so badly, Mifu?" Yuji Nikaido looked over and glanced at Tang Ze with a picky look. "As you say, Detective Akira is just..."
"He is at least a highly educated genius." Wujo Xiu, who was just picking at Akira Goro, heard the argument of several people, and changed the subject, "I was looking forward to seeing the true face of Detective Maori. Today, I saw that he was such an inconspicuous character..."

A little blue veins appeared on Kogoro Mori's forehead: "...I really thank you for your opinion."
He is not a fool. At this point, anyone can see that he is just a raft where these people are arguing. As for what he thinks about him, it is not something that the men who are fighting for favor are concerned about.
This scene is really ugly. Kogoro Mouri, who feels like they have become their first play, regrets accepting the invitation tonight.
The food is just like that. Not only did it not pay, but it also paid for the car rental fee, which made me feel like it was in vain. "No, you young people don't understand. This is what makes them stand out."
Without waiting for the few people to continue their debate, a lower voice next to them participated again.
"Have you ever heard the real person not showing his appearance? If a detective is too conspicuous and cannot integrate into the crowd, how can he reduce others' vigilance and collect information without realizing it? This is a strategy of a famous detective."
Kogoro Mori turned his gaze and looked at the person who was walking over, his expression becoming more and more stiff.
The person who spoke this time was indeed not a young man, but he looked about the same age as him.
At this age, you also come here to compete for favor?
"Don't worry about him, that's one of the directors of Sijing Products, Rikuda Masaji." Hearing the implicit ridicule of Akitoro in this person's words, Takumi Mifun pursed his lips and leaned into Tang Ze's ear and introduced, "President director, he is involved in the company's management. The most disgusting one."
How to say, No matter how unbearable Lihua in Sijing is, today is her 24th birthday.
If the other spare tires are somewhat of a love element, then this guy's mind is too obvious, almost entirely coming to Sijing's industry.
As expected, in the next sentence, Liutian General led the problem to Sijing Lihua again. "The young lady must have expected this a long time ago. It is amazing to be able to see through the essence through her appearance." "I think too!" Yuji Nikaido responded quickly, "She is really beautiful and elegant, with an unusual taste." "Although she has a smart mind, she is not an ordinary woman at all." Takashi Ichizhi added quickly.
"What kind of person do you need to win her heart?" Wuzhao Xiu even made a statement, and the smile on his face became softer.
"...Yes. I don't know which lucky boy can sit on the throne of the next president of Sijing Group." Takumi Mifune rolled his eyes, as if he was talking sarcastic words, and added a sentence without hesitation, which directly exposed the thoughts of these people. It was quite a bit like the fox, a thousand-year-old, and you are playing Strange Stories with me.
What are you pretending, you are all...
Lihua Sijing retreated her gaze toward the other side, looked at her father who was holding a glass of wine, and was excited to talk loudly, took a sip of champagne, with a look of indifferent expression, and did not express anything to these loyal licking dogs.
Tang Ze looked at her from a distance as she tried too hard and left a trace of lipstick on the edge, and he knew that her true mood was probably not good at all at this time.
When a young lady who has been proud of her life and has to accept coercion because she has been held by someone, she must be very unwilling to accept it. "Huh? Marriage? Lihua! Are you...?" Hearing his daughter's statement as if nothing had happened, the president of Sijing choked on a sip of wine and hurriedly put the wine glass aside.
He knew a little bit about his daughter's virtue. This was not Sijing Lihua's style of behavior at all. Compared to finding a fixed partner, she obviously prefers to hook her fingers to attract the life of men of all kinds.
"Yes, dad, I'm already 24 years old, I have to consider my lifelong affairs." Sijing Lihua smiled, and while speaking, she slowly sorted out the earrings on her ears, lowering her gaze slightly, "I am the daughter of the Sijing family, and I have to be willful. I always have to choose someone for Sijing Group who can support the business."
"Lihua...you really grew up..." The president of Sijing, who was so doting his daughter, was suddenly moved. "Actually, there is no need to do this..."
"If you can't find it, then give birth to an heir and train it slowly." Sijing Lihua said lightly, "Anyway, I invited some young talents to attend today's banquet, just to find a good husband among them...Dad, I hope you support my idea."
"Oh, Lihua." The president of Sijing gave his daughter a hug, and his expression had completely softened. "Of course, what you say is the final word. Sijing Group will always be your backing."
Several detectives who were not on the list looked over there coldly, and although they did not express any opinions, their opinions were almost written on their faces. "It's hard to say whether she has the ability to manage the group. She is indeed a good idea to grasp the 'Lifeline of Sijing Group'." Kogoro Mori, who is not good at speaking too seriously to the lady, could only comment like this.
