Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Conan Edogawa was also in a good mood. He had learned a lot of useful things from Fujiwara Hiroshi today, including things his father hadn't taught him during the training in Hawaii. After dinner tonight, he planned to call Ran under the identity of Kudo Shinichi and lock her up. Recently, more and more handsome men have been targeting Ran, such as Ota and the big guy from the Valentine's Day incident. In order to protect his beloved Ran, he gave his first kiss to that big guy. Just thinking about it made him want to vomit.

As Conan listened to Fujiwara Hiroshi's analysis, he understood his feelings for Ran more and more clearly. He had been slow to react and unwilling to admit it before. He and Ran both had delayed emotional reactions. Looking up at Suzuki Sonoko who was chatting with Ran, it must be said that although Sonoko was a gossipy person who was always looking for a boyfriend and had no idea what to think, as a bystander, she could see the relationship between him and Ran very clearly.

Then, Ran Mouri was also in a good mood. She'd been trying to get her parents back together for so long, with little success, and their relationship had been growing distant. But now, she'd noticed that Fujiwara Hiroshi's analysis had only been two attempts, and their relationship had progressed rapidly. A reunion was just around the corner, and she was feeling incredibly happy. A long-cherished dream had finally come true, and the joy she felt was indescribable. Furthermore, Fujiwara Hiroshi's brilliant emotional analysis had made her realize the feelings she had for Shinichi. Although she claimed he wasn't her husband, she felt her own feelings for him, and even considered taking the initiative to express them. After all, Shinichi seemed like an emotional idiot; his ability to express emotions wasn't even one-tenth of his ability to reason a case. And today, her parents' reconciliation was progressing very well. Should she call Shinichi after dinner to share her joy and express her feelings?

Finally, Kisaki Eri was in a very good mood today. She was originally struggling with whether to attend the dinner tonight. She didn't expect that Maori Kogoro had prepared so many surprises for her, and she found that Maori Kogoro had really changed a lot in recent times. She and Maori Kogoro were just like Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran now. They were childhood sweethearts and had many ties. Otherwise, with her personality, how could she give Maori Kogoro chances again and again? In the final analysis, she still had not completely let go of this feeling. She was the cold queen in the eyes of others, but she would lose her mind only when facing Maori Kogoro. Maori Kogoro's performance today really satisfied him, and she sincerely hoped that it could continue like this. Even if it was just a dream, a bubble, she didn't want this dream or bubble to burst.

Almost everyone has arrived, and the dinner is going smoothly and harmoniously. After the artists and stars have finished their performances one after another.

Hosts Kogoro Mori and Hiroshi Fujiwara took the stage to deliver speeches. Kogoro, holding Kisaki Eri's hand, thanked the guests and Fujiwara Hiroshi for their investment. He then spent the rest of the speech making a heartfelt confession to Kisaki Eri. In full view of the crowd, Kisaki's face flushed, but she was clearly beaming with happiness. Kogoro Mori's actions stunned the host, and everyone was left with a mouthful of dog food.

When Fujiwara Hiroshi gave his speech, things were much simpler. The two beautiful actresses flanking him stood out, though. The others in the audience were secretly cursing Mori Kogoro and Fujiwara Hiroshi for being shameless. They were here to celebrate the grand reopening of the Mori Detective Agency, not to see you two hand out candy. Everyone internally ate their candy and scorned the two.

There was one person in the audience who was envious of Fujiwara Hiroichi's presence, flanked by two beautiful women. This person was none other than Suzuki Ayako's fiancé, Tozawa Yuzo. Ayako had observed all of Tozawa Yuzo's behavior; ever since her last conversation with Fujiwara Hiroshi, it had profoundly impacted her perspective. She and Tozawa Yuzo were more of a marriage between two conglomerates, more the result of a discussion between Suzuki Shiro, Suzuki Tomoko, and Tozawa Tetsuji.

Compared to Tomizawa Yuzo, who lusts after beautiful women but tries hard to maintain a false image of loyalty and affection in front of others, she thinks a straightforward man like Fujiwara Hiroshi is better. Even if it's the same situation, she prefers Fujiwara Hiroshi. Moreover, Tomizawa Yuzo and Fujiwara Hiroshi are fundamentally different. Tomizawa Yuzo's relationship is basically casual, just a one-night stand, and unlike Fujiwara Hiroshi, it's not about the heart. Tomizawa Yuzo's relationship is purely about sex. Just now at the dinner party, Ayako noticed Tomizawa Yuzo staring at the female celebrities performing on stage, thinking he was probably trying to find ways to have sex again.

After the villa murder incident, Suzuki Tomoko noticed a change in her daughter. Initially, she thought she was frightened by the murder, but later discovered that this was not the case. There were other factors involved, including Fujiwara Hiroshi, the chairman of the Fujiwara Group.

Even without her daughter saying anything, Tomoko, as a mother, could already tell what was going on in her daughter's mind. She'd already done her research. So, seeing Ayako, who rarely attended dinner parties, particularly excited for this one and dressed up so carefully, Tomoko knew exactly what was going on. So, this dinner went from being just an ordinary one to a moment of reflection for Tomoko about Fujiwara Hiroshi.

The chairman of the Suzuki Group is Suzuki Tomoko's husband, Suzuki Shiro, but Suzuki Tomoko is involved in and responsible for many aspects of the Suzuki Group's affairs, big and small. Fujiwara Hiroshi's controversial comments are not a big deal to Suzuki Tomoko. How many people from the conglomerate family have clean records? Suzuki Tomoko knows exactly what kind of person Tomizawa Yuzo is in private. The key lies in what Suzuki Ayako herself thinks, and whether Fujiwara Hiroshi is worthy of trust. After all, the Suzuki family originally planned to let Suzuki Ayako take over the Suzuki Group in the future, and Sonoko was raised in a free-range environment. Sonoko has been like her second uncle since she was a child, playing however she wants, and even letting him play with Kaito Kid. But Suzuki Ayako is different. She was trained to be the heir, and she is very good at it. However, Suzuki Shiro and Tozawa Tetsuji were childhood friends, so Tozawa Tetsuji personally came to propose marriage, and Suzuki Shiro couldn't refuse, so he agreed without thinking. Fortunately, it was a verbal agreement and they hadn't gotten engaged or married yet.

The Fujiwara Group is more powerful than the Tozawa Group. Even when choosing a son-in-law, Suzuki Tomoko preferred the more powerful Fujiwara Hiroshi. Above the Tozawa family are Taichi Tozawa and Tatsuji Tozawa, and Yuzo Tozawa may not be the next chairman. However, Fujiwara Hiroshi is already the chairman of the Fujiwara Group. Furthermore, Ayako herself favors Fujiwara Hiroshi and may have developed other feelings for him.

So after Fujiwara Hiroshi finished his speech, Suzuki Tomoko, Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Ayako found Fujiwara Hiroshi and asked him to meet in a hotel room for a private conversation. Suzuki Sonoko, who was traveling with them, asked her to continue chatting with Mao Lilan and Conan, and did not let her participate.

Fujiwara Hiroshi led Suzuki Tomoko and her family to the guest room. He still had no idea why they were looking for him. It was obvious that Suzuki Tomoko was the one in charge, with Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Ayako just accompanying them. He had no idea what Suzuki Tomoko was up to.

After they sat down, neither Fujiwara Hiroshi nor Suzuki Tomoko spoke first. After nearly two and a half minutes of silence, Suzuki Tomoko spoke first.

"President Fujiwara is quite good at cultivating his Qi!" Suzuki Tomoko thought highly of Fujiwara Hiroshi, as he lacked the impetuousness of his peers. At least Tomizawa Yuzo was far behind Fujiwara Hiroshi in this aspect.

"Aunt Tomoko, you're welcome. Just call me by my name." Fujiwara Hiroshi saw Suzuki Tomoko speak and knew that the main topic was about to begin.

"Since you call me Auntie, then, my dear nephew Fujiwara, I'll speak my mind." Suzuki Tomoko took a sip of her wine and paused, as if giving Fujiwara Hiroshi time to mentally prepare. "What do you think about Ayako? What do you think about you two getting married?"

It was a blast! Suzuki Tomoko came up and threw a huge punch. There were four people in the room, and it was obvious that none of the other three had expected Suzuki Tomoko to bring up such a topic.

"Mom..." Suzuki Ayako was startled by her mother's sudden words. For a moment, she could only call out "Mom" with a blushing face, not knowing what to say. Shy emotions and state filled her whole body, and she could clearly feel the warmth on her cheeks.

"Tomoko, this... Ayako is engaged to the Tozawa family!" Suzuki Shiro also tugged at Tomoko's clothes and spoke. Suzuki Shiro was also confused by Suzuki Tomoko's trick. Without any prior discussion, he directly threw such a question to Fujiwara Hiroshi. Although the Suzuki Group and the Fujiwara Group had some connections, that was only through Fujiwara Hiroshi's parents. Fujiwara Hiroshi didn't have much of a connection with them.

"Oh? Although I don't know why Aunt Tomoko asked this, I personally have a good impression of Miss Ayako. But it seems that you two have already arranged a marriage for Ayako. Just like Uncle Shiro said before, haven't you arranged it for Ayako and the third son of the Tozawa family? In addition, Aunt Tomoko, you should have heard about my general situation, and I have already discussed my views on marriage and love with Ayako at the villa last time. Have you asked Ayako what she thinks? Can she agree with my views on marriage and love?" Although Fujiwara Hiroshi was not prepared for Suzuki Tomoko's sudden inquiry, he did not make any big or exaggerated movements or emotional fluctuations. He controlled his emotions, calmed himself down, and answered calmly with clear logic.

This really impressed Suzuki Tomoko. She had deliberately not informed Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Ayako beforehand, just to see their reactions. Ayako's shyness made Tomoko more confident in her thoughts. Her husband's reaction was also expected. After all, he had already arranged a marriage for Ayako and Tozawa Yuzo from the family of his childhood friend Tozawa Tetsuji. You have to know that they all come from conglomerate families, and what they say outside is on behalf of their respective conglomerates. One woman is paired with two families, and if it gets out, it will not be a good thing for the Suzuki family or Ayako, so his emotions fluctuated greatly. What surprised Tomoko the most was Fujiwara Hiroshi's reaction. After a brief two and a half seconds of shock at the beginning, he quickly adjusted his emotions, answered her questions logically and clearly, and also made his attitude clear.

"Very good! It seems that you are not opposed to Ayako. As for what you said, I will step in to solve it. All I need is your attitude. As for Ayako, the father over there is slow to react. As a mother, I know my daughter best. I have also asked Ayako intentionally or unintentionally about the content of your communication with her during this period. If Ayako herself can recognize and accept you, we as parents will not say much." Suzuki Tomoko replied, and after a while, she turned to Suzuki Shiro and spoke.

"Husband, although you spend a lot of time with Ayako, you lack observation and attention to her! You didn't even notice that Ayako had a lover. Ever since the last incident at the villa, it's obvious that Ayako has been talking about our nephew intentionally or unintentionally. Haven't you noticed? Think about it, has she mentioned the nephew Yuzo of the Tozawa family in front of us? Isn't it obvious?"

"This...this..." Suzuki Shiro narrowed his eyes and thought carefully. It was indeed true. After all, it was impossible to hide who your heart was with or who you cared about.

Suzuki Ayako buried her head even deeper, perhaps because her eyes were blurry. Otherwise, one would have definitely seen the panic in her eyes, the panic of having her little secret discovered by her parents. At the same time, Suzuki Ayako was thinking, is it really so obvious in my daily life? Her mother saw it right away, and her father fell silent after listening to her mother's analysis. But saying it in front of Fujiwara Hiroshi like this, Ayako's shyness is mainly because of this.

Just as Fujiwara Hiroshi was about to say something, Suzuki Tomoko raised her hand forcefully to stop him.

"I know what you want to say. Look at Ayako, she hasn't said anything to defend herself yet. Doesn't that make the problem clear? As for your other girlfriends, I won't interfere in how you handle the relationships. You can handle it yourselves. That Tomizawa Yuzo is not a loyal guy either. He plays a lot of tricks in private. Maybe Ayako likes your straightforwardness and honesty more than Tomizawa Yuzo's hypocrisy! So this is why I asked about your attitude. If you also like Ayako, I can handle the engagement with the Tomizawa family." Tomoko Suzuki directly pointed out the nature of Tomizawa Yuzo, and at the same time waited for Fujiwara Hiroshi's response.
