Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 434 Delicious Cake

With the opening of the elevator door, everyone entered the th floor, and then Yuanzi led everyone to a room with an open door not far away.

Looking into the room, you can see that there are three dressing tables lined up side by side with eyeliner, lipstick, mascara and other cosmetics, which are scattered and piled up as if they were poured out of a box.

Then, before entering the room, Gao Yuan involuntarily covered his nose with his hand, but didn't say anything——

"Well, it smells so strong..."

Smelling the strong smell of perfume coming from the room, Conan couldn't help but frown.

Regarding this, just when the group of people were hesitating whether to go in, there were voices of arguing from inside——

"If you don't want to, get out!"

Everyone looked around, and saw a young woman wearing a headband, yelling at a long-haired girl who was crying and fell at his feet.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

"Hualian, you don't have to say such exaggerated things to Chengxiang!"

Kawada Kagami, a short-haired young woman who was being supported by the crying woman Abe Sumika, couldn't help but shoot back.

"It's still a naive woman who says she's afraid she doesn't want to compete...you might as well just get out of here."

Shou Hualian, who wore a headband and looked proud, still spoke forcefully.

"However, this contest has gathered the winners of various beauty contests. It is understandable for a timid person like Sumika to suddenly not want to participate. Even I, seeing this kind of battle, will..."

Kawada Kagami embraced the weeping Abe Sumika, and her rebuttal became softer and softer.

"Indeed... If you fail in this competition, all the efforts you have accumulated so far will be in vain... Any girl who comes to participate in this competition will be a little scared..."

Abe Sumika said while sobbing.

"All the hard work accumulated so far has been wiped out? Isn't it natural! Because there can only be one queen."

Hearing Hualian's swearing words, Chengxiang and Jingmei couldn't help being speechless.

"Don't you even have this awareness? That's why you are suddenly afraid of losing. Even if all the participants lose, even if they become worthless stones, they have to grit their teeth and smile to bless the winners. This is how to walk into this world The laws that women in the world must accept! Those who do not have this kind of awareness are not qualified to stand in front of the judges, and they are also sorry for the audience who came to watch. If you want to be depressed, go home and be depressed!"

Shou Hualian pointed at the door as if she was chasing a dog away.

"You think you can definitely win the championship, don't you?"

Chengxiang looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said angrily.

"Of course. At least you are destined to be losers."

Shou Hualian smiled proudly.

"I'm so stupid to come to discuss your troubles with you!"

"Wait, wait a minute, Sumika!"

Being scolded so fiercely by Hualian, Chengxiang cried and ran out of the room, and Jingmei hurriedly chased after her and left here.

"It's amazing..."

"Well, well..."

Seeing the two crying and running past, Yuanzi and Xiaolan couldn't help swallowing, feeling a little guilty.

"What are you talking about, this is not a girls' high school where everyone is united and friendly!"

At this time, behind Xiaolan and the others, came a disdainful voice.

Xiaolan turned around in surprise, and saw Shou Hualian's mother, Shou Meiling, and her sister, Shou Meimei, standing behind everyone.

"Ms. Shou..."

Xiaolan couldn't help saying hello to this.

"Miss Maury, I'm so glad you're here."

Shou Meimei couldn't help but responded, Xiaolan also nodded to the other party.

"Those two people had participated in a regional beauty pageant with Hua Lian just now, so they treated Hua Lian as a friend and came to complain. How stupid!"

Looking at the two people who ran to the depths of the corridor, Shou Meiling couldn't help but said dumbfounded, with a slightly disgusted expression.

After hearing what the other party said, Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who were about to participate in the competition, became a little cowering.

"What's wrong? Surprised?"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Shou Meiling couldn't help but say.

"Well, a little bit."

After hearing Shou Meiling's words, Xiaolan nodded a little at a loss.

"I actually came to discuss with my competitors. For girls who do things without thinking, it's good for them to say too much."

Shou Meiling said seriously.

"Sure enough, the beauty pageant world is really cruel..."

Having said that, Xiaolan felt even more worried about her participation in this beauty pageant.

"Of course! After all, this may even cost your life! Speaking of which, who are these people?"

Meiling's stern gaze turned to Gao Yuan and the others behind Xiaolan.

"They were friends who came to cheer me on."

Xiaolan began to introduce Sonoko next to her, and when she was about to explain in detail, Shou Meiling looked at Suzuki Sonoko standing beside Xiaolan, and couldn't help but change her eyes——

"Oh, aren't you from the Suzuki Foundation...?"

Slightly surprised, Shou Meiling stepped forward and asked.

"Well, I'm Sonoko Suzuki."

Sonoko smiled and responded politely.

"That's right! Ms. Yuanzi is so beautiful, she will definitely get good grades. Everyone should work hard for her!"

Shou Meiling, who had changed her face, said this to everyone as if she was familiar with her.

"Yes Yes……"

Probably caught by such momentum, Dr. Ali and Conan couldn't help but nodded.Gao Yuan smiled politely and nodded slightly, while Xiao Ai next to him had an indifferent expression, closing his eyes and nodding in response.

At this time, Xiaolan saw that there were no outsiders around, so she took the opportunity to introduce Gao Yuan to Shou Meiling——

"Well, Ms. Shou, this is the wise detective I mentioned to you just now. He also promised to help protect Miss Hualian today."

"Oh, is it?"

After hearing Xiao Lan's words, Shou Meiling looked Gao Yuan up and down, feeling that the other party was too young and not well-known, so she simply responded, and then said as if suddenly remembering something:

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce Hua Lian to everyone."

After finishing speaking, Shou Meiling invited everyone into the special suite.

Regarding this, Xiao Ai, who was walking at the back of the crowd, was a little displeased, and whispered to Gao Yuan——

"What...you are here to protect her daughter, why are you acting like this!"

"After all, compared to Xiaolan, I really can't protect him personally..."

Gao Yuan responded with a wry smile, speaking in a voice that only Xiao Ai could hear.

"Humph……"

Xiao Ai snorted lightly, then smiled in a slightly profound tone:
"Have you forgotten about the beauty pageant last time? Don't be accidentally injured by some woman before the case is investigated today!"

"How can I be so unlucky!"

With a wry smile, Gao Yuan said helplessly.

"No way!"

Xiao Ai smiled lightly and said:
"After all, none of these women participating in the beauty pageant are fuel-efficient!"

Saying so, everyone soon walked into the living room of this suite.

This living room is at least fifty tatami mats in size, with a huge leather sofa, a grand piano, and even a bar.

One wall of the living room is a giant floor-to-ceiling window, which provides a panoramic view of the city center.

"Please sit down."

Under Shou Meiling's urging, everyone sat down on the large sofa.

"Hua Lian!"

Mei Ling rushed to the room with an open door and shouted, Hua Lian, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, turned her head in response.

But when she saw Xiaolan's face, she suddenly trembled.

"Who is this girl?"

Hua Lian stammered and asked Mei Ling.

"Didn't I just tell you on the phone? She is your bodyguard?"

"What? You mean this little girl!"

Startled, Hualian stared at Xiaolan again with wide eyes, then said with a sigh of relief:

"Indeed, there is none of that murderous air about a man who has participated in a beauty contest."

After carefully looking at Xiaolan's gentle face, Hua Lian couldn't help touching her chest, and calmed down.

"But can she really be a bodyguard?"

After seeing Xiaolan's thin figure this time, Hualian's eyes showed suspicion, and she couldn't help but say.

"She's that Mori Kogoro's daughter. Besides, she used karate just now, and she knocked down that fat Miura beautifully!"

Shou Meimei smiled and told Hualian about Xiaolan's heroic deeds.

"Huh? Really?"

Hua Lian asked for confirmation.

"of course."

Shou Meimei affirmed.

"Hahaha, that's really satisfying! That man is always clinging to me, saying that as long as I'm his woman, I'll win the competition. It's disgusting."

Hua Lian seemed very happy to say.

"Huh, has such a thing happened?"

Xiaolan widened her eyes and said in surprise.

"En. When I said that we must rely on strength to win, he was so angry that he was smoking."

Hua Lian said with a proud smile.

"Don't talk about that. Come on, everyone have a taste."

Mother Meiling came out of the kitchen, and the young pastry chef came to the table with a trolley full of black tea and cakes, and distributed the black tea and cakes to everyone.

"It looks delicious."

Seeing the cake cut into squares on the plate, Dr. A Li's eyes lit up and he said happily.

"Please taste it!"

Shou Meiling smiled and gestured.

"Then, I'm welcome!"

After hearing Meiling's words, Dr. A Li immediately reached out and took a piece of cake into his mouth impatiently.

"This cake is made by the pastry chef here according to Hualian's recipe! This kid is also very good at cooking!"

Smiling, Meiling praised Hualian as if showing off.

Hua Lian also responded with a smile.

"Of course, my formula is perfect."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned to the pastry chef, and asked in a tough tone:

"You made it exactly according to the recipe I gave you?"

"Yes, it is."

The pastry chef replied cautiously, but he was a little worried that he had lost the note with the recipe just now, and thus found out that he had randomly found a bottle of wine for seasoning, which would affect his career.

“This is the best cake I've ever had!”

After Dr. Ali ate the second piece of cake very bluntly, he praised very happily, and then saw that Conan was looking around in the room, so he couldn't help but recommend:

"Come to Conan, eat some too!"

"kindness."

Conan nodded, took a piece of cake with a fork and ate it in one bite.

"Come on, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai will try it too."

Dr. A Li picked up two cakes, handed them to Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai who were sitting on the sofa, and urged.

"Ah."

Xiao Ai cut off a small piece of cake with a fork and put it in her mouth.

"How about it, is it delicious?"

Dr. A Li asked inarticulately with his mouth full of cake.

"Well, it's really good."

After Gao Yuan finished eating a piece, he praised it very positively.

But Xiao Ai suddenly opened her eyes wide.
