Chapter 452 A Lively and Festive Wedding
“Yuanzi——This way——”
Looking left and right beside the church, Mao Lilan quickly locked the position of her best friend and quickly Ran over.
"Oh, that's strange, you're not late today." Suzuki Sonoko, who thought she would have to wait here for a long time, glanced at her watch in surprise, "You found the way so quickly?"
< br>"Ah, that's because..." Mao Lilan scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"Because Brother Tangze is very good at finding the way. If we follow Sister Xiaolan, we will still be late." Conan, wearing a small suit, slowly followed over and revealed the truth mercilessly.
"As expected, he's still the same idiot I'm familiar with." After hugging a friend whom she hadn't seen for a few days, Suzuki Sonoko patted Mao Lilan on the back, "There are quite a lot of people here, don't get lost. "Yeah."
"Who is the idiot!" Mao Lilan, whose face turned red, protested in a low voice, reaching out to scratch Suzuki Sonoko's waist, and soon they became a mess.
"Childish." Conan, who was only waist-height at Karasawa's feet, said sharply.
"Someone who is not naive can no longer participate in the junior high school reunion. He can only stand here enviously watching others chatting happily. What is going on?" Tang Ze asked mercilessly. He scoffed.
"Hey, my reason this time is legitimate. Everyone thinks I'm in the United States." He hit the spot, and Conan elbowed Tangze's leg, "Stop talking nonsense."
< br>"However, if you have no contact with teachers and classmates after graduation, doesn't it mean that there is no other friendship except that we met in the same school? Don't care so much." He patted Conan's hand very smoothly. In response, Karasawa followed them into the church.
"...There are so many police officers." Looking around, Conan couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Didn't he say that the teacher's fiancé is the child of an entrepreneur? Their company is related to the police?"
Tangze, who knew the inside story very well, also scanned the entire audience and showed a smile that concealed his merit and fame.
Even the police officers from the First Search Section came...
With sharp eyes, he saw Officer Megure's chubby figure that stood out among the crowd. Now even Mao Lilan, who was constantly chatting with his junior high school classmates, felt something was wrong, and exchanged a blank look with Suzuki Sonoko.
"Maybe it was the invitation from the man... Forget it, how about we go secretly see the teacher in her wedding dress before the wedding starts?" Suzuki Sonoko took the initiative to suggest, "It's been a long time since we last met. We're here, teacher, so why don't you go say hello..."
Mao Lilan, who was also curious, nodded greatly when he heard this, and followed Suzuki Sonoko through the large chapel of the church.
“It’s such a big church... It costs a lot of money to rent this place for a wedding, right?”
“It’s not just a matter of money, it’s not a big deal just to rent this place if you have money. Easy. All I can say is that he is worthy of being the heir to the Gaoshan Group.”
"Then, it's really beyond imagination. The teacher didn't decide in a hurry. It seems that it only took a few days to finalize the place..."
"I don't know...it may be that we don't You know the hidden secret..."
Tang Ze looked at the church filled with guests, secretly making comparisons in his mind.
The layout is quite similar to Futo Kyosuke’s palace.
Oh, I have an idea.
It shouldn't be too far from Dorobiga Park, huh?
When she walked into the bride's waiting room, Sayuri Matsumoto, who was dressed up, was standing upright in front of the full-length mirror, waiting for the makeup artist in charge of makeup to help her make the final fix.
The warm early autumn sunshine passes through the huge flower window, reflecting a dreamy and holy bright light in the tall and open room. The light passes through the bride's mist-like veil and skirt, casting a soft glow. shadow.
The hazy soft light hit Sayuri Matsumoto's face. When she noticed the person coming at the door and gently turned around to look over, the beauty made people couldn't help but be stunned by it.
"It's Moori-san and Suzuki-san. It's been a long time since we last seen each other." Recognizing the two girls standing stupidly at the door, Matsumoto Sayuri raised her red lips and carefully adjusted the silk gloves on her hands. , "Thank you for coming to my wedding."
"Oh..." Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were stunned, responded in a daze, still immersed in this touching atmosphere and unable to recover.
Looking at their appearance, Sayuri Matsumoto narrowed her eyes slightly in fear, carefully raised her skirt and walked towards them: "How is it, not bad?"
" It's beautiful, teacher!"
"So beautiful..."
The two clenched their fists excitedly and praised, which made Sayuri Matsumoto's face look even more happy.
"Hey, Kudo-san didn't come with you? Aren't you three always inseparable?"
"It's not that the three of us are inseparable, it's Xiaolan and that guy who are inseparable. I have no interest in being inseparable with Kudo." ." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand mercilessly.
"Well, Shinichi may not be able to come here this time. There is no way. Teacher, you informed us too urgently. We didn't expect... Shinichi is still in the United States with his father... ”
Tangze, who was at the end of the queue, listened to their chat with his ears raised and distractedly looked at the time on his phone.
It’s almost time for the police to be in place...
I don’t know if the people getting married this time have changed, so Futo Kyousuke will use his connections with Officer Shiratori to come over, but he will definitely not be absent.
Thinking like this, Tang Ze took two steps back lightly, left the preparation room where a group of people were chatting happily, and walked quietly towards the direction of the guests.
In the room at this time, everyone was immersed in reminiscing about the reunion after a long separation, and the conversation was in full swing. Only Conan noticed Karasawa quietly exiting.
A little embarrassed, Conan wanted to follow him and have a look.
Karasawa probably felt that it was not interesting, or he felt uncomfortable because he didn’t know many people.
Obviously he was the one who called the person here, but now he leaves him alone in the cold, which is quite excessive.
Looking back, I saw Mao Lilan's face with a bright smile. I hesitated for a moment and Conan didn't catch up.
Forget it, anyway, the purpose of calling Tang Zelai was not about the wedding, but mainly about the travel plans after the wedding.
If Karasawa feels bored, he can just go talk to Officer Megure and the others...
It won't happen at such a big wedding... right?
————
“Officer Megure, Officer Megure——!”
Megure Thirteen, who was talking quietly with his subordinates, was stopped by a familiar voice. He sighed and Shaking his head.
Although being warm-hearted is not a bad thing, in these troubled times, it is quite troublesome to always be asked for answers that cannot be answered.
"Brother Maori, I have already told you not to pursue this matter. There are many things I have to say, and I cannot explain them clearly. This case has already alarmed many people." Mumu Shisan said with a hidden look. Scan the field.
Although it is peaceful and happy now, it is still unknown how many plainclothes policemen from other departments are among them.
"Ah, has it reached this level?" Mouri Kogoro slowed down his pace and looked around the field, "Isn't that, Director Odagiri..."
"Yes, If Director Odagiri hadn't come forward..." He stopped talking for a moment, and Megure Thirteen still didn't reveal any information. He glanced at the tall, silent and slightly dejected figure of his boss not far away, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
Who doesn’t want their children to find the most suitable spouse and have a perfect and grand wedding?
At such an important moment, he had to cooperate with the actions of the Metropolitan Police Department... The police must have been having a hard time.
After receiving the overt and covert looks from his subordinates, Matsumoto Kiyonaga's serious expression did not waver, and he only turned away slightly.
"It's time for me to go backstage and see Sayuri." Probably because he didn't want to continue to be baptized by the sympathetic eyes of the insider, Matsumoto Kiyonaga turned around and walked towards the corridor.
"Police, I will accompany you... In special circumstances, everyone must pay attention to safety." Just taking the opportunity to get rid of Mori Kogoro's questioning, Megure Thirteen hurriedly followed Matsumoto Kiyonaga's pace .
Before leaving, he did not forget to gesture around to signal other subordinates in the field to do their jobs well. He heard that this series of cases seems to be related to a certain prisoner encountered by the police. It is currently being taken seriously and monitored by the police there. Presumably, they will continue to pay attention to such a gathering where police personnel gather. of.
Really, they made a series of layouts and arrangements to strictly prevent and control accidents. In the end, these police officers did nothing and just wanted to take advantage of what was already available...
You can do it if you have the ability. Contributing to a wedding and organizing some activities, what kind of skill do they have when they sacrifice so much to create a beautiful scene?
"I told you not to bring trouble on yourself." Fei Yingli walked behind him with high heels and a formal suit. "When I turn around, I have to use excuses like 'not in a good mood' or 'need to relax.' , so drunk that I stayed in the bar... We are divorced, and I will not bother you anymore because of a phone call from Xiaolan in the middle of the night. "
Moori Kogoro was hit in the back. Tightened, tightened his shoulders: "Only once, or twice, how can you describe me like a bastard who stayed out all night by buying a drunk..."
"Isn't it you? Aha "Looking at your expression, have you sneaked out to drink recently?" Fei Yingli crossed her arms and shook her head. There was no blame on her face. She just said with a normal expression, "You can persist for so many days this time... are you?" Are you really a little afraid of that kid named Tangze?”
"Is that so?" Tang Ze's voice was slightly smiling, but it made people feel chills running down their spines. "Have you been secretly drinking these past few days? Uncle Maori?"
Originally, we were still chatting with each other. Mouri Kogoro, who was blowing his beard and staring at him, was froze in place by the voice. He jumped in shock and turned around in horror. He saw Karasawa wearing regular clothes walking towards him with a smile on his hands in his pockets.
"Toshiyan, why is this expression making you suddenly frightened?"
"Yes, let's go see the bride. I just passed by the corridor to look at you secretly. I took a look, she is so beautiful today..."
"Let's go, Toshiyan, go quickly..."
As Karasawa walked forward, he happened to pass by the crowd surrounding the groom, Takasugi Toshihiko, who couldn't help but laugh and play.
Here we go, the calculation is just right... The next step is simple geometry.
Kangze, who was silently counting his strides in his mind, flicked his fingertips slightly, and the green eyes of the little stuffed animal hanging on his bag shone slightly at the same time.
A piece of light paper fell into the bouquet of bright red roses. The bright red color perfectly hid the red and black cardboard.
The boy holding the bouquet was staring sideways at Takasugi Toshihiko who was dragging his feet and refusing to take a step. A look of regret flashed on his face. When he turned his head again, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, as if he wanted to catch up with Takasugi Toshihiko's departure. Directions before arriving backstage.
"I will not approve of such a man." His whispers reached Tang Ze's ears, "I still firmly believe that only I can bring happiness to the teacher..."
To myself Takasugi Toshihiko, who was unconscious of the hostility he had suffered, was blushing. He accepted the good-natured teasing from the people around him, and his crisp white suit was ruffled by others, which made him beg for mercy for a while.
"I'll be there in a moment, I'll be there in a moment, I'm a little nervous, don't pull it off, the newly ironed clothes..."
Farther away, Odagiri Toshiro's eyebrows are deeply engraved With his peripheral vision, he noticed the exceptionally dressed young man at the door, and from time to time noticed the movements of the other policemen in the scene. A slight fatigue flowed from his brows and eyes.
His mobile phone was kept close to his body. It vibrated twice with new messages from time to time. He didn’t know if it was the public security police who entered the scene who were transmitting Fuudo Kyousuke’s movements to him.
What a wonderful and lively show.
Karazawa, who heard the whole scene in his ears, walked straight in the direction of Mouri Kogoro without squinting his eyes.
“Is that so?” Pretending to sniff, Tang Ze came closer and narrowed his eyes, “How many days have you broken the habit?”
“No, I haven’t. ..." The muscles on Mouri Kogoro's face twitched twice. He rolled up his sleeves and hid his back. Tang Ze, who was standing next to him and watching him, flashed through his mind. He quickly changed the topic in a hurry, " On the other hand, why would you come to a place like this? "
Of course he trusts Tang Ze and has great confidence in his character. He also doesn't believe that Tang Ze will really commit a serious crime and thinks that Tang Ze will undoubtedly commit it. was wrongly accused.
However, if you think about it from another perspective, Karasawa, who has experienced tragic experiences, not only hates the police, but also has a somewhat avoidant mentality. Megure also said that Karasawa is a bit unwilling to face the camera... How could he? You shouldn't take the initiative to sneak into the police...
"Ah? Don't you know?" Tangze raised his eyebrows in pretending to be surprised, "Today's bride is Mr. Lan's junior high school teacher? I and I They made an appointment to go out in the afternoon, and they invited me to watch the ceremony together..."
"Ah? Isn't she Matsumoto's daughter?" Mouri Kogoro's eyes widened, "Wait, so that's why. , Xiaolan is here too? And that kid?"
————
"Oh, it turns out that the teacher is Matsumoto's daughter, no wonder there are so many police here." Seeing the tall and fierce-looking Matsumoto Kiyonaga, Mao Lilan, who mistakenly thought someone was looking for trouble, was nervous for a while. After learning the truth, she suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, you don't look particularly similar..."
"Sayuri looks more like her mother... By the way, Mouri... you are the daughter of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro." Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had a conspicuous scar on his face and looked sinister, softened his expression. The melancholy state eased slightly, "Every time your father solves a new case, I feel doubly regretful. I have already blamed Mu Mu for letting such an outstanding talent leave the Search Class 1..."
< br>"You are too polite. This cannot be blamed on Officer Memu. It is my father's own career plan..." Embarrassed and a little proud, Mao Lilan smiled reservedly, her happy expression was beyond words.
Suzuki Sonoko bumped Conan with her ankle and said in a low voice: "Why are you so happy..."
"Uh, I, I'm here for my uncle. I'm happy that his former boss appreciates him now." Realizing that his proud expression was too obvious, Conan waved his hand and quickly made up for it.
“You’re pretty good at talking, are you suddenly very sensible today…”
While the two of them were muttering here, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had finished his greetings with Maori Lan, grabbed his daughter's shoulders.
"Sayuri, it's too late to regret now." More unfinished words were swallowed by Matsumoto Kiyonaga. He looked at his daughter who was dressed up and looked as beautiful as a flower with dew on the branches. The feeling of unbearability and self-blame came up again, "You don't have to marry that kind of rich young master, and you don't have to marry in such a hurry today..."
"Dad, it's okay. Toshihiko and I have been planning to get married for some time. Isn't it great to be able to enter the marriage hall under the witness of everyone?" Sayuri Matsumoto couldn't help but laugh, and stretched out her arms to give her strong father a reply. With a hug, "And...you will protect me, right? As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."
"Sayuri..." hugged his daughter with his backhand, Matsumoto Kiyonaga's eyes filled with tears Tears arose, but he raised his head and suppressed them in a concealed manner.
No matter who the damn prisoner is or what his plans are... he will not let him go.
"You are very beautiful today, and you will never lose to your dead mother..." Matsumoto Kiyonaga's hand on his daughter's back caressed her veil and released his embrace.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk..." A series of knocks came from the direction of the door.
Sayuri Matsumoto, who came back to her senses, hurriedly wiped away some tears from the corner of her eyes, carefully not touching her eye makeup, reorganized her emotions, and looked at the young boy who walked in with a large bouquet of roses: "Umenomiya, Thank you, very beautiful flowers..."
"Where is it...ah, it is lemon tea, you should only drink this kind of drink. It suits you very well..."
"Thank you..."
Over there, Matsumoto Kiyonaga walked to the door and opened the door. Outside the door, Takasugi Toshihiko, who happened to be pushed forward by his friends, was caught off guard and jumped into the air. He lost his balance and staggered forward. He took a few steps.
"I still firmly believe... Oops!" Junji Umemiya, who was holding a can of lemon tea in his hand and was about to make a handsome statement, was hit by the force behind him and lost his balance as well. The bouquet came out of his hand and was thrown forward.
“Ouch!”
“Be careful!”
Seeing a traffic accident, one party is still the protagonist today, and the people in the room include the bride in a dress , all hurriedly stepped forward and helped the person who was about to fall to the ground.
As a result, the bunch of unnoticed roses drew a parabola and flew away in mid-air. The bright red petals fluttered out and spread out, creating a romantic rain of petals.
Conan, who was very self-aware of his body shape and physical strength and did not follow to join in the fun, was thrown by the burst of petals.
Before he could sneeze, a hard sharp point hit his forehead. The sharp edge scratched him and he instinctively screamed in pain.
“Ah, what is it!”
Covering his forehead, Conan raised his head and saw the foreign object that was bounced off his head, flying in another direction, just in time , fell in front of Toshihiko Takasugi who was being helped to stand up straight.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were very sensitive to this color, were instantly attracted to it. Once they saw the heads on the card clearly, they both looked shocked.
"From the Phantom Thieves of Heart, a notice letter...?"
A little over and over, start to work
