Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 34: Invitation from Suzuki Sonoko

"It's like this. Brother Fujiwara communicated very well with the two of them before they got together. They also accepted each other. And according to Brother Fujiwara's meaning, there will be other new members in the future. First of all, Brother Fujiwara has to like the other person and have a good impression of them. Then as long as the other party is willing to accept and approve, he can accept them into the big family he has formed." Ran Mouri explained.

"Isn't this a complete harem? Can he marry so many people at the same time?" Sonoko asked.

"No! They can only exist as mistresses. Brother Fujiwara may not get married, or he will only consider getting married when he finds someone he likes and who can tolerate his mistresses." said Maori Ran.

"Ah!? Aren't these marriage candidates?" Sonoko asked curiously.

"Yes! I forgot to mention, Brother Fujiwara, you may know him, Sonoko. He is the newest person in charge of the Fujiwara Group. So his status does not allow him to marry anyone casually. If he really wants to get married, he must marry someone of equal status. According to Brother Fujiwara, the marriage partner is either the daughter of a big consortium like your family, Sonoko, or the descendant of a noble. It is basically difficult for people from these two families to tolerate Brother Fujiwara's behavior. And the prerequisite is that Brother Fujiwara must first take a fancy to the other party. So Brother Fujiwara himself said that it would be difficult for him to have a formal marriage partner. Or his property will be divided equally among his mistresses' children, illegitimate children. In theory, illegitimate children do not have the qualifications to inherit, but in the absence of legitimate children, illegitimate children have a chance." Mao Lilan continued to explain.

"That's indeed difficult. For those who come from a consortium, although most people can accept the existence of mistresses outside, it must be difficult to accept someone who does it so openly as he does. After all, they all have to save face. Even if his family can be tied to the Fujiwara family for the sake of interests, it must be difficult for him to accept his wife. Those who cannot accept it will probably not be recognized by Fujiwara Hiroshi." Sonoko also sighed.

I had heard Fujiwara Hiroshi was quite handsome, so I was quite interested. After all, it was well known that Sonoko was immune to handsome men. But Sonoko was still a pure love warrior at heart, and she couldn't accept sharing this love with others.

"Anyway, Sonoko, it's enough for you to know. Don't say anything weird in front of Brother Fujiwara." Mao Lilan warned at last. She was really afraid that Sonoko would say nonsense to Fujiwara Hiroshi.

"Don't worry, Xiaolan! I know that Shinichi is the only one in your heart!" Sonoko said carelessly.

Listening to Sonoko's words, Conan's face turned red and smoked!

Suzuki Sonoko and Maori Ran arrived at the Maori Detective Agency, chatting and laughing. Inside the agency, Maori Kogoro was full of energy, looking at the office that had finally been renovated and expanded several times. The two of them made coffee and leisurely waited for the client to come.

Ran Mouri brought Suzuki Sonoko to the office, took out the letter from the mailbox downstairs and brought it upstairs.

"Dad, Brother Fujiwara, here is a letter sent to our office." Maori Ran handed the letter to Maori Kogoro and Fujiwara Hiroshi.

The two opened the letter and Kogoro Mouri read out the contents.

"On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear once again. An invitation from Tsukikage Island. Please go and stop the impending crime. Signed - Keiji Aso."

"This is a crime warning letter, and it also comes with a commission of 50 yen. Brother Fujiwara, do you want to go and take a look?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"Of course I have no problem with it. This is the first case I've been entrusted with since joining the Mori Detective Agency. And the other party has been very considerate and has sent the commission fee." Fujiwara Hiroshi shrugged his shoulders.

"Ran, Mr. Fujiwara is really handsome!" Sonoko touched Ran and said softly.

Xiaolan was not surprised by her. After all, she was still calling him a scumbag the moment before, and the next moment she saw him being handsome and had so many thoughts, only Sonoko was a typical appearance dog! (Conan looked down on Sonoko in his heart when he saw this)

"I think this is the big brother Fujiwara that Xiaolan mentioned. Hello! I am Xiaolan's best friend, my name is Suzuki Sonoko." Sonoko introduced herself formally and extended her hand to Fujiwara.

Fujiwara Hiroshi also shook Sonoko's hand and replied, "My name is Fujiwara Hiroshi. You can also call me Brother Fujiwara like Xiaolan. You are the child of Uncle Suzuki, right? Although we have never met, we have heard of each other's name. The Suzuki Group and the Fujiwara Group are also old friends." After all, one is the top-ranked group and the other is the second-ranked group. However, each has its own areas of development and there are not many conflicts in business. However, the Suzuki family found that the new head of the Fujiwara Group was young but capable. He seized the opportunity of the bankruptcy of the Iwata Group and acquired many of the Group's high-quality fixed assets, making a big profit.

"Uncle, you and Brother Fujiwara have renovated and expanded the detective agency. Why don't you hold a reopening celebration?" Sonoko suggested.

"A celebration ceremony? That's a great idea. We can invite my sister-in-law to the opening ceremony. Isn't that a good excuse, Maori-san?" Fujiwara Hiroshi winked at Maori Kogoro. Even though it didn't work out last time, it was still a significant step forward. Kisaki Eri was pissed, but at least she'd given Maori Kogoro more opportunities than before. They even went out for dinner together two weeks ago.

This opportunity just happened to exist, so he could use it as an excuse to bring the two of them together. Maori Kogoro's heart was also burning with excitement. His brother Fujiwara was truly amazing, constantly finding ways to create opportunities for him. He had previously been able to successfully arrange a dinner date with Kisaki Eri because he had asked her to review the contract under the pretext of being unfamiliar with the legal terms. Without Fujiwara Hiroshi, Maori Kogoro wouldn't even be able to hold Kisaki Eri's hand, let alone make any progress. He could only pretend to be tsundere and try to attract her attention.

"Then let's hold it after this commission is completed. When we come back, we can hold an opening ceremony! Just invite some acquaintances to attend." said Kogoro Mouri.

"Okay! No problem." Fujiwara Hiroya discussed it and decided it with Mori Kogoro.

"Brother Fujiwara, are you free this Saturday? I have invited Xiaolan and Conan to a party at my mountain villa. My sister has also invited members of her college film club to a party there. If you are free, you can join us." Sonoko extended an invitation to Fujiwara Hiroshi.

"I can. It just so happens that the latest commission is on the night of the full moon next year, so I can go out and relax before starting work." Fujiwara Hiroshi immediately accepted Suzuki Sonoko's invitation. Mainly because Fujiwara Hiroshi felt that Edogawa Conan, along with Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko's outing, would still have cases without Maori Kogoro. Moreover, he remembered that this case was the famous case of the bandaged monster who killed and dismembered people. He wanted to see if his method would be as flawed as the others before.

"Brother Mori, do you want to go with us?" asked Fujiwara Hiroshi.

"I won't go. You take Xiaolan and Conan with you. I'll prepare some things needed for the celebration. I'll feel at ease knowing you take them with you." Kogoro Mouri replied.

"Okay, then I'll tell my sister how many people are coming when I get back so she can prepare," Sonoko replied. Ran then made dinner for Suzuki Sonoko and Fujiwara Hiroshi. After dinner, everyone dispersed and went home.

The Conan world is so magical that once a potential case is triggered, time will jump directly. The next day, in the blink of an eye, time jumped from Monday to Saturday, the time for the party to start.
