Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 232 226. Vermouth: I owe you the Kudo family?!

Three days later, in the banquet hall of Beihu City Hotel.

The memorial service for Director Sakamaki was packed with guests, and celebrities came one after another, causing the many reporters waiting at the door to flash their cameras non-stop.

As a national treasure-level film director in Japan, Sakamaki Akira is also well-known internationally, which led to the presence of many Westerners at his memorial service.

"Look! It's Fujimine Yukiko!" Someone suddenly screamed among the crowd of reporters at the entrance of the memorial service, and then all the reporters looked towards the entrance of the hotel.

At the gate of Beido City Hotel, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were getting out of the courtesy car and then walked onto the red carpet in front of the hotel.

"And the novelist Kudo Yusaku! It seems that the couple hasn't attended any events together since they got married?!"

Fujimine Yukiko was the name of Kudo Yukiko before she got married, and it was also the name Kudo Yukiko used when she debuted.

As a movie star, Yukiko Kudo is also a legend among actresses.

He made his debut with a movie, and his first movie became an instant success. Then he left the island country and rushed to Hollywood, where he also made quite a name for himself.

Then, when her fame was at its peak, Kudo Yukiko met Kudo Yusaku and retired from the entertainment industry to get married.

He never made a comeback in the next ten or almost twenty years.

At the same time, since the two got married, Kudo Yukiko seems to have really stayed away from the world of fame and fortune. She has never attended an event with her husband.

So even though Kudo Yukiko is not the most popular star at the memorial service today, she was once a very popular actress, and her husband is also a top writer in the mystery novel world.

At this moment, the couple is the focus of everyone's attention.

"Speaking of which, Kudo Yukiko hasn't made a public appearance in many years, so why is she attending director Sakamaki's memorial service with her husband this time?"

Among the crowd of reporters and photographers who were pressing the shutter buttons, a loud and doubtful voice suddenly came from

"Kudo Yukiko's debut film was directed by Sakamaki, and it was also because of her debut film that Kudo Yukiko became famous.

It's not normal for them and their spouse to attend the memorial service for Director Sakamaki?"

Some reporters entered the industry relatively late and did not know about Kudo Yukiko's situation. However, there were seniors who were not so good at it and had been running around with cameras for more than ten years.

It just happened to answer the doubts of those who didn't know the inside story.

Inside the memorial service, some guests who liked to watch the fun had already been looking towards the door.

Those with sharp ears even heard the reporters gathered at the door shouting Kudo Yukiko's name.

Vermouth is one of them.

She had not originally planned to come to the memorial service for Director Sakamaki. To be honest, since she secretly returned to Tokyo from America, although it can't be said that everything has gone wrong, she has been worried because of Conan.

Fortunately, the organization has been going through a turbulent time recently, and although the Executive Department and the Intelligence Support Department are not in complete chaos, they are still busy and chaotic.

According to Vermouth's understanding, Lin Longma definitely didn't have the energy to think about Conan at this time. Compared with Conan, a young boy, Rum was Lin Longma's biggest enemy in the organization.

She thought the memorial service would be a small diversion from the rare long vacation she had finally gotten, but she didn't expect that she would be notified last night that she needed to go to the memorial service for director Sakamaki to assist in a task.

The incident involving Rum's subordinate, peripheral member of the Intelligence Support Department, and Congressman Shigehiko Tsuguchi was exposed.

After a secondary investigation by the risk investigation team, they found that two groups were secretly investigating Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi.

One group is the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, and the other is the Public Security Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department.

These two departments are both very powerful and difficult departments. Through some secret channels, the risk investigation team also learned that these two departments have a considerable amount of evidence in their hands.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether there is evidence or not. The boss has been displeased with Rum recently.

The first risk assessment report from Shigehiko Tsuguchi of the risk investigation team could be dealt with perfunctorily by the Intelligence Support Department, but regardless of whether the second secondary investigation report contained clear evidence or not, the boss had enough reasons to take ruthless action against Rum.

For the sake of the organization's stability, although Rum cannot move yet, the boss can use Tunkou Shigehiko to remind Rum.

How to remind
When Rum heard from others that Shigehiko Tsuguchi was executed by the boss, he understood that this was the boss's blunt "reminder" to him.

Coincidentally, two senior officials of the organization were present at the memorial service that Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi attended.

At this time, you can see the boss's preference for Vermouth.

Pisco is an old man in his seventies and is already semi-retired, but he suddenly received a long-awaited execution mission.

Instead, Vermouth, who is in her prime, becomes the assistant and insurance for the mission.

At least judging from appearance alone, Vermouth is much younger than Pisco.

Just do the mission. After all, it is not that difficult for Vermouth to assist in completing an execution mission.

But when she watched Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku walk into the memorial service arm in arm, she couldn't help but gasp.

How much money did she owe the Kudo family in her previous life? Why did the Kudo family seem to come to her to collect debts?
Yukiko Kudo, who hasn't made such a grand public appearance in public for more than ten years since her marriage, showed up at the memorial service so beautifully?
Is she afraid that others don't know that she has returned to Tokyo from America?

It is not uncommon for the Kudo couple to return to Tokyo. The couple are originally from Japan, and even though they have settled in Los Angeles, there is nothing wrong with returning to their hometown occasionally.

But Vermouth knew clearly that there were many eyes in the organization watching the couple.

The fundamental reason is that the organization has now discovered that Kudo Shinichi, who was supposed to have died in the amusement park, was not dead at all.

If the Kudo couple stayed in America and didn't come back, the organization could completely assume that Kudo Shinichi survived by chance but did not inform his parents.

But now the Kudo couple has returned to Tokyo in a high profile.
If the Kudo couple had no reaction at all after returning to Tokyo, as if they were unaware that their son was missing, there is no doubt that the couple must have contacted their son.

If they returned to Tokyo and made a big fuss to look for or investigate their son's whereabouts, we could still pretend that they were unaware.

The couple looks so radiant now, how do they look like they have lost their son?
