"You have a sharp eye~" Suzuki Tomoko glanced at him with her large, watery eyes and said with a slight reproach:
"Among the more than 500 guests, I immediately found the key one—the one in the pink kimono is Ooka Kanon, whom I told you about before, and the one in the blue kimono is Hattori Shizuka, the wife of Hattori Heizo, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters!"
"Both of them are stunning beauties, each with her own unique charm! How about it? I'll introduce you to them in a bit, so you'd better seize the opportunity!"
"Okay~" Natsume was naturally very interested in Ooka Kanon and Hattori Shizuka, and there was no need to hide this from Suzuki Tomoko~
"Then you can play by yourself, I'm leaving now~"
Tomoko Suzuki waved and swayed as she walked toward the center stage.
After all, she still had to go on stage and say a few words after "Shiro Suzuki's" speech.
Xia Ye stood there for a couple more glances at Ooka Kanon and Hattori Shizuka, then looked away.
Anyway, Tomoko will introduce them to me later, so I won't go over and bother her now.
only--
What he didn't see was.
After he shifted his gaze.
The two beautiful women in kimonos, whom he had been admiring for quite some time, simultaneously turned to look at him, their beautiful eyes holding equally enigmatic expressions.
...
Xia Ye looked towards where Xiao Lan and Shiho were.
But they discovered that there was a charming and lovely girl beside them—it was Kazuha!
Let's look back at where Kogoro Mouri and Conan were.
Sure enough, Hattori Heiji was there!
But that makes sense—
Even Shizuka Hattori is here.
It's quite normal for Heiji Hattori and Kazuha, the two younger ones, to come along.
Xia Ye was about to go over there to say hello to He Ye.
But then he saw Yoko Okino waving at him from a distance, her pretty face smiling as she gestured for him to come over.
Beside Yoko Okino was a tall and elegant figure.
From behind, her thick, flowing black hair cascaded down, and her white evening gown accentuated her alluring figure.
Wait until Xia Ye walks over.
The woman in the white evening gown turned around.
She is indeed a stunning beauty who is no less beautiful than Yoko!
She had captivating red eyes, like flames constantly burning within them. Her features were exquisite and beautiful, and the white evening gown she wore was not revealing at all, making her appear dignified, elegant, and even a little noble.
However, why was this stunningly beautiful woman, whom he had never met before, looking at him with such a strange gaze?
Xia Ye was completely baffled.
"Xia Ye!"
"Let me introduce you!"
A smile flickered in Yoko Okino's beautiful eyes, but her pretty face remained impassive as she introduced the beautiful woman before him with a smile, "This is the famous, talented female singer—Reiko Akiba, I've told you about her, haven't I?"
"certainly--"
"I've heard Yoko mention Miss Akiba's name before, but I've never had the chance to meet her—" Natsume extended her hand to Reiko Akiba with a polite smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Reiko Akiba. I hope I'll have the opportunity to attend one of your concerts sometime~"
"It's nice to meet you too, Xia Ye~"
Reiko Akiba called Natsume by her name directly.
Her ruby-red eyes scrutinized Xia Ye, somewhat unable to believe that the gentle and polite man in front of her, who seemed like a gentleman, was the same unrestrained guy from the diary. Although she had known for a long time, she was still taken aback when she actually saw him!
Reiko Akiba is also a log holder.
Moreover, it had a logbook from the very beginning.
Having witnessed all of this, while she was quite grateful that Xia Ye liked her, she still had some reservations about whether or not to meet Xia Ye.
It wasn't until Yukiko found her with several other girls that she made up her mind.
"As for the concert, I'll definitely invite you next time, but this time—"
"I hope you can do me a favor~"
"What is it?"
Xia Ye knew, of course, that Akiba Reiko had found him through Yoko for a certain reason.
However, considering Yoko's feelings and my own fondness for her theatrical version of "Score of Fear," I'll definitely help her out.
Reiko Akiba briefly explained the situation.
It's still about "The Trembling Score".
However, it hasn't even started yet.
The Domoto Concert Hall, funded by renowned pianist Kazuki Domoto, has been completed.
A concert is currently being prepared for the opening ceremony.
The highlight of the concert was the performance of the organ played by Bach and the world-famous "God Strings" violin.
The focus is on Reiko Akiba, a talented female singer with "exquisite vocal sense".
This concert attracted a lot of attention even during its planning stages. After all, both the performers and singers are renowned musicians, so the concert is sure to be a high-caliber audio-visual feast, and many people's expectations are extremely high.
"The current situation is that Mr. Domoto was originally a pianist, but two years ago he suddenly switched to playing the organ, and now the pianist for the concert has not been decided yet; there is still no suitable candidate."
Reiko Akiba continued to explain:
"Until last time, I heard the piano accompaniment at Ms. Yoko's concert, so I asked Yoko to introduce you to be the piano player for our concert this time~"
"Is that so?"
Xia Ye pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"No problem, I agree!"
"Really?"
Reiko Akiba looked somewhat surprised.
"what happened?"
Xia Ye's eyes looked strange.
Isn't it good that I agreed so readily?
Do you expect me to visit you three times before you reluctantly agree?
"No~"
Akiba Reiko blushed.
She thought Xia Ye would definitely have some kind of request.
For example, having a meal with him, or doing something else.
After all, the logs were all owned by female characters that Natsume liked. Those who stayed far away were one thing, but those who got close to him were at least prepared for that kind of thing. That's what Akiba Reiko thought.
"Xia Ye, thank you so much!"
"As for the sheet music for the concert, I'll personally deliver it to you in a few days. I'll treat you to dinner then!"
"Good~"
Xia Ye smiled and nodded.
...
Next.
Shiro Suzuki gave a speech on stage.
Kaito Kuroba is indeed a strong guy.
The guests present had dealt with Suzuki Shiro quite a bit, and none of them could tell that the person on stage was an imposter!
Knowing the truth, Tomoko Suzuki watched Kaito Kuroba's performance on stage with a smile in her beautiful eyes.
They showed no intention of taking any action.
Kaito Kuroba was a little nervous on stage.
The beautiful and noble Mrs. Suzuki kept staring at me. Could it be that I had given myself away?
That's impossible! If she had discovered me, she would have already called the guards to arrest me. How could she be so calm and collected?
then.
I forced myself to finish the entire speech.
Kaito Kuroba, disguised as Shiro Suzuki, calmly stepped off the stage. Just as he was about to excuse himself to the restroom to change his disguise, Tomoko Suzuki called him back at the door—
This sent a chill down his spine.
"Shiro, where are you going?"
Tomoko Suzuki grabbed his wrist with a half-smile.
"When did Madam discover this?"
Kaito Kuroba reluctantly resumed speaking.
“Of course, it started when you entered this banquet hall just now—” Tomoko Suzuki smiled slightly, a hint of mockery appearing on her pretty face, “but after all, it’s our family’s 60th anniversary, and it wouldn’t do if no one gave a speech, so I had to keep you here for a while!”
"So that's it!"
Kaito Kuroba suddenly realized, but a slight smile played on his lips. "Madam is indeed quite cunning. However, you underestimate me if you think you can catch Phantom Thief Kid so easily."
Bang-!
A puff of smoke flashed by, and "Suzuki Shiro's" figure disappeared into the thick smoke. But then—
"Don't run!"
A delicate shout came from within the smoke.
Then came a suppressed groan.
After the smoke and fog dissipated.
Kaito Kid has disappeared.
Only Xiaolan stood there, wearing a pair of rather high-tech glasses, her fists clenched, looking both dashing and charming.
Chapter 315 Kaito Kuroba: My mom is going back to China? Why?
Seeing Ran, Tomoko Suzuki was not surprised at all.
She asked with a smile on her pretty face:
"How is Xiaolan?"
"Can we find him?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Pengzi, he can't get away!"
Xiaolan gently adjusted the temple of her glasses by her ear, a look of eager anticipation appearing on her pretty face.
This is a mission to capture Phantom Thief Kid, how fun!
"Then I'll leave it to you, Xiaolan!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Lan looked up into the banquet hall.
Faint gray traces appeared on the lens; those were the photo-reflecting agent made by Ai. Once it got on your body, it couldn't be washed off even with water. Combined with these glasses specially designed for developing images, Kaito Kid would have nowhere to hide!
"It's over there, don't run!"
