So... Suzuki Yusuke couldn't help but turn his head to look in Kuraki Mai's direction, only to meet her gaze. But she lowered her head in a fluster, biting her lip, looking somewhat resentful.

It seems the other person also felt a connection to those two songs.

What should we do now? How should we explain this?

Maybe we should just stop explaining. In any case, he is the original creator in this world, and no one can shake that fact.

In the blink of an eye, a heartbreaking look of grievance appeared on Miho Komatsu's face.

"I'd like to join EW Company, is that possible?"

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

This is so sudden!

He nodded, left a business card, and fled the scene.

As soon as he got back, Kogoro Mouri grabbed him, "You little brat, what did you do to the lovely Miho Komatsu just now?!"

"I really didn't do anything, teacher, please calm down!"

"Humph!"

Kogoro Mouri took a big gulp of his drink, then suddenly saw Yoko Okino coming over. He immediately changed his expression and went over to her.

This is practically a carbon copy of Sanji.

Yoko Okino was accompanied by Mai Kuraki, who was probably there to see him. Yusuke Suzuki decided to make a quick getaway.

He hasn't figured out a reasonable explanation yet. If he really can't think of a way to explain it, then he won't explain it. When he contacts him by phone later, he'll be able to speak more confidently.

"That guy... he just ran away like that," Yoko Okino said angrily to her friend beside her. "I told you he must have done something wrong!"

"No, Yoko," Mai Kuraki blushed so much it looked like she was about to bleed, "I just met him, there's nothing between us."

However, her expression wasn't very convincing.

If Suzuki Yusuke knew that today's incident would cause him to repeatedly run into obstacles in recruiting Okino Yoko, he would definitely have to shamelessly explain himself clearly today.

A few minutes later, the lights in the venue dimmed, and everyone's eyes turned to the host.

"Hello everyone! I'm sure you've all been waiting a long time," the host said without further ado. "Now, I'd like to formally introduce the owner of 3K World Restaurant, who is also the star of this party. Please give them a round of applause!"

"First of all, the invincible former world champion, Mr. Ricardo Barre."

"Next up is Mr. Mike Nord, the 160kg Western Prize pitcher."

"Finally, there is Mr. Ray Cartes, the renowned goalkeeper known as the strongest steel fortress in Europe."

The audience erupted in applause, and Suzuki Yusuke reached out to Hattori Heiji and Conan.

Conan is really excited.

As soon as Suzuki Yusuke arrived, he heard him muttering something like, "Oh my god, it really is him."

"Hey, Yusuke-nii?" Hattori Heiji saw him and asked hurriedly, "Where did you run off to?"

"I talked to someone about work," Yusuke Suzuki casually replied. "What's up with this guy?"

He pointed at Conan.

“So you didn’t know,” Blackie laughed. “Conan is Ray Katis’s number one fan, of course he’d be excited to meet him in person.”

At this point, the host on stage continued, "I think it would be good to ask these three people a few questions now."

Yusuke Suzuki, too lazy to listen, took out his phone and sent emails to Masato Nishino and Shin Tamura, telling them to get ready to welcome the two beautiful singers.

He felt that there was a high probability that today's matter would be successful, as Miho Komatsu herself took the initiative to join, and Mai Kuraki did not refuse.

Suddenly, a portly man walked down from the stage, speaking arrogantly and stating that the three people on stage were polluting Japan with scandals.

The venue suddenly became noisy, but quickly quieted down again until the man left on his own. Only then did the host reluctantly continue hosting.

Kogoro Mouri then explained to everyone that the man was a newspaper reporter who specialized in exposing scandals of famous athletes.

"So the victim has been found," Suzuki Yusuke pouted. Although he had hardly been involved in the plot, he could still spot the killer at a glance.

What is this called?

This is called the law of Ke Xue.

As for the murderer... Suzuki Yusuke looked up at the three people on the stage, a classic three-way choice.

As time progressed, Ran Mouri bravely went on stage to help Shinichi Kudo get Ray Katis's autograph. Heiji, seemingly disregarding Yusuke Suzuki, slapped Conan on the head, then squatted down and said, "Remember to call him when you get back."

Does he really think he can't hear me? I've reached my limit!

"Who are you calling?" Yusuke Suzuki leaned right between the two of them. "And Conan, why are you blushing?"

Chapter 122 The Phone Call from Dad

Conan and Heiji Hattori were both startled by Suzuki Yusuke's sudden peeking, and exaggerated beads of sweat hung on their foreheads.

“It’s…it’s…Conan has recently taken a liking to a little girl,” Hattori Heiji said quickly, “I told him to tell her his feelings as soon as possible.”

"Is that so?"

Under Yusuke Suzuki's gaze, Conan was forced to nod, "I...I don't like her anymore...hahaha, Yusuke-nii, don't tell anyone, okay?"

"understood."

Yusuke Suzuki straightened up and remained silent, patiently waiting for the party to end.

The two high school detectives exchanged a resentful glance before turning their heads away with haughty arrogance.

At this moment, Kazuha Toyama asked with some doubt, "Heiji, don't you find this strange?"

"what happened?"

“Goalkeepers usually wear number 1,” Kazuha Toyama pointed to the autographed jersey that Ran Mouri had just received on the stage, “Why is he wearing number 8?”

“Because Ray was originally a midfielder,” Conan couldn’t help but explain when he heard this. “However, in one World Cup match, both goalkeepers left the field, leaving the team with no one to guard the goal. Ray came on under these circumstances.”

"He then blocked several shots from the opponent, thus qualifying for the final. Since then, he has always played as the goalkeeper with the number 8 in major Spanish tournaments and other competitions."

At this point, Conan's eyes lit up. "So, when he joined the U.S. Soccer Federation, he naturally kept the number 8."

Kazuha Toyama continued asking questions, but Yusuke Suzuki had to leave first.

His father called.

The two hadn't been in contact for a long time, and when the other person suddenly called, Suzuki Yusuke's heart skipped a beat.

Since it wasn't a very important banquet, he simply left.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

He arrived at the lounge and casually found a chair to sit down.

"Any time to come to America?" Jirokichi Suzuki was still cheerful on the other end of the phone. "The groundbreaking game developed by the Syndora Group is in its later stages. I heard it's quite fun."

The old man spoke with a strong voice, so he should still be in good health. So, he contacted me all this time just to invite me to play games?

"No way..." Yusuke Suzuki thought about it carefully. "Right, isn't the Syndora Group that giant American company?"

The Phantom of Baker Street!?

Upon reflection, he immediately thought of this wonderful theatrical version.

It seems the old man didn't have any scenes in the original storyline. Besides, Professor Agasa is still at home, which means there's still some time before the main plot begins.

"Just tell me what your purpose is." Suzuki Yusuke thought for a while, wondering why the old man would come to him. With the strength of the Suzuki Group, getting a test qualification shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Haha, that's how it is. I told them I wanted to try it out beforehand, but they insisted that I was too old and there might be problems, so they refused me."

"So you want me to experience it firsthand, and then tell you about my experience?"

"That's right, haha. You'd better hurry up and pack your things and come over. Don't worry, you'll only be staying for two or three days."

"No, aren't you worried that something might happen to me while I'm trying this? Besides, even if I tell you about my experience after I've played it, it probably won't make any sense."

"Just tell me if you're coming or not."

"I......"

He really wanted to try it out.

When Suzuki Yusuke watched "The Phantom of Baker Street" in his previous life, he fantasized about what it would be like to play such a game in the past. Now... why don't you go and see?

After hesitating for a moment, he discussed it with his father and decided to go to the United States in three days.

At that moment, the door to the lounge opened, and Mai Kuraki and Miho Komatsu came in together, blocking him inside and preventing him from leaving.

"Mr. Suzuki, when can we officially join EW Company?" Mai Kuraki, no longer shy, was noticeably more energetic and spoke cheerfully.

"Anytime is fine. As for the contract, you need to discuss it with the company. EW Company will also cover any breach of contract penalties you would have to pay if you switch jobs now."

Yusuke Suzuki was a little confused about the purpose of the two women's visit. In fact, these things were all expected, and asking him would be of no use.

Sure enough, Miho Komatsu decided to cut to the chase and asked, "Could you please ask Mr. Suzuki to write two songs for me too? No, just one song will do."

“No problem, I’ll write it when I have time,” Suzuki Yusuke said, thinking it was something serious. “Well then, ladies, would you mind letting me leave now?”

"Ah? Um..."

The two women then realized that Suzuki Yusuke had cornered them in the room, almost like he was forcing them into a corner. They wondered if this would leave a bad impression on Mr. Suzuki... The two women thought to themselves at the same time and quickly moved aside.

"Then, we'll meet again at EW Company."

Yusuke Suzuki slipped between the two men and walked straight away.

When he returned to the venue, Ran Mouri had already gone back to the audience. Soon after, the three bosses left, and the party continued.

Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri quickly pulled her father away.

The others, not understanding why, also came out.

"So you wanted to use the building's lights to represent a 'K'," Kazuha Toyama said, somewhat surprised as he watched Ran Mouri take charge of the field. "But, surely the three of them don't need to do this themselves?"

"They said it was their own idea, so they wanted to do it themselves," Ran Mouri explained briefly before continuing to give instructions, "'K's' first room isn't lit up yet."

Soon, the 'K' was completed, and at the same time, a deafening gunshot rang out, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass that carried further and further away.

The smiles on Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mori's faces froze instantly, and the three bosses responsible for turning on the lights each opened their windows and peeked out.

"Kazuha! Tell those three to stay in the room and not move around!"
