Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 50: Capture 3 Ships and 4 Wells

In this slightly dark hall, people stood in an orderly circle around a young lady. She was wearing a red dress and a red bow on her head. She stood there smiling, like a blooming flower, exuding charming charm.

Next to her was an exquisite cake with burning candles on it. The flickering candlelight shone on her pretty face, as if covering the entire scene with a layer of warm glow.

"Happy birthday to you…!"

After a call, the lady bent down and blew out the twenty-four candles that symbolized her age, and then the lights turned on.

At this time, a middle-aged man came up behind her. He also smiled sincerely and said to her: "Happy 24th birthday, Lihua...!"

The lady responded happily, "Thank you, Dad...!"

"Today is my little girl's birthday, and I'm so grateful to have you all come all the way to this resort to celebrate for her. I also ask that you continue to support our Four Wells Group. Thank you!"

The middle-aged man with a burly figure and extraordinary demeanor is usually called the Chairman of Shijing or the President of Shijing. However, at this moment, he put aside his usual arrogance and majesty and showed the love and tenderness of a father.

When he gave his sincere blessings to his beloved daughter, his eyes were shining with endless affection and care; and when he thanked the distinguished guests who came from afar, his words were sincere and courteous, which moved people.

Everyone present was moved by his sincerity and responded with enthusiastic applause. The thunderous applause surged like a tidal wave, seeming to drown the entire room.

However, amidst all the laughter and joy, there was one person who was particularly eye-catching - this person was eating as if no one was around, and he looked like he hadn't eaten for several days!

Standing next to him were a beautiful girl, a handsome young man, and a little boy with glasses and a blue suit, his mouth twitching.

In the strange eyes of others, the beautiful girl is naturally our Xiaolan. She is a little embarrassed to persuade her unreliable father.

"Don't eat so much, it's so ugly...!"

"Stop talking nonsense, both of you. Eat quickly, this kind of food is not available anytime...!"

While finishing a bite of a chicken leg, Kogoro Mouri muttered that he also wanted Xiaolan and Conan to learn the true meaning of this kind of banquet, which is to eat a lot ( ̄^ ̄). As for Hua Lantian, he is so rich and must be tired of eating, so he did not include him.

Then, he drank a glass of red wine in a rough yet elegant manner, and then sighed: "Hey, high-end wines really are different...!"

At this time, President Shijing began his opening remarks again, "Well, before everyone enjoys chatting, I would like to introduce today's special guest, Mr. Maori Kogoro...!"

As he was speaking, he pointed at Kogoro Mouri who started eating like a scavenger again, and the scene became awkward for a while.

Because at this time, Maori Kogoro had already looked at the person next to him and said frugally, "Can you pack this up for me...? I want to take it home. Cherishing food is also a virtue...!"

Even though President Shijing had experienced many great events and met all kinds of people, he had never seen someone like Maori Kogoro. He patiently and helplessly shouted, "Mr. Maori...!"

"Yes...!" Maori Kogoro quickly responded. At this time, the banquet hall had already started a heated discussion, "He is the famous Maori Kogoro..." ... "Hello everyone, hello everyone...!" Maori Kogoro touched his head and greeted everyone very embarrassedly.

Then President Yotsuba told the story of how Kogoro Mouri helped Rika Mouri find her pet dog, but he didn't explain clearly what it was about. This helped Kogoro Mouri save face, although Kogoro Mouri was still very complacent.

But the others didn't care. The murderer in the original drama, Mr. Ichieda Takashi, was the first to jump out, point out the truth, and then introduce himself.

Then one of the victims, Yuji Nikaido, also jumped out, made his presence felt, and also flattered Yotsugu Reika.

At this time, the most unsociable digital person appeared. He was Takuya Mifune. It can only be said that he was worthy of being a man of industry! He seemed to give people a pragmatic and down-to-earth feeling, and even made a few sarcastic remarks to their faces!

He was about to mock the famous detective, Mouri Kogoro, but at this moment, his sharp eyes caught sight of Hua Lantian standing not far away. At this moment, Hua Lantian was enjoying the food elegantly, but his speed did not slow down at all, as if he was afraid to miss any opportunity to fill his stomach with delicious food.

Mifune Takuya was startled, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he walked straight to Hua Lantian and said, "Are you... the legendary... the new Japanese stock god, the stock god from China - Mr. Hua Lantian?"

His voice was filled with disbelief and awe, as if he had seen a legendary figure. This attracted the attention of quite a few people, and Hua Lantian quickly put down his food and told him to shut up, while telling the people around him that he had made a mistake.

Although Hua Lantian tried his best to stop it, many digital people from the original drama came over, including Gojo Osamu and Rokuta Masashi.

"It's me, it's me, but please don't advertise it too loudly. I'm just here with Uncle Maori and his family to join in the fun, hehehe~"

Hua Lantian lowered his voice, breaking his usual tone and speaking furtively, while raising his eyebrows with a sly expression. As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him out of the corner of his eyes, as if hinting at something.

Then, he deliberately raised his voice and continued, "But, I seem to have heard that Shijing Lihua is looking for a son-in-law... Wow, this is really a big deal! I wonder which lucky one among you will get this honor? Hehehe..."

There was a hint of ridicule and joking in his words, which made everyone present look at each other in surprise and speculate in their hearts.

At this moment, the entire scene became unusually quiet, and everyone was lost in thought. Everyone was silently thinking about whether they had a chance to become the chosen son-in-law, while also observing the reactions of others.

Hua Lantian stood aside, a smug smile on his face, seemingly very satisfied with the topic he had brought up. After all, this was the topic of their subsequent argument, so it didn't matter if he brought it up.

……

Seeing that the situation was not good, Takuya Mifune ran without saying a word and rushed towards Hua Lantian like an arrow.

He leaned close to Hua Lantian's ear, breathlessly confessing, "Actually, I don't like Sijing Lihua at all! I was just pretending! Blame it on the Sijing Group for seizing some of my cooperative projects. I had no choice but to be hypocritical with her!"

Hua Lantian sneered inwardly, thinking, "I've long known that you're a complete pragmatist, and I've always disliked the overly spoiled, spoiled, and willful rich kid style of Shijing Lihua. But I also dislike people like that."

However, he did not show it, but just patted Mifune Takuya's shoulder calmly and said meaningfully:

"Next, you have to watch me perform carefully. If you approve of my acting skills, you must promise me one thing."

Takuya Mifune was startled by Hua Lantian's sudden words, but for some reason, he nodded as if possessed, expressing his agreement.

Many years later, whenever he recalled this moment, he would feel deeply moved, both regretful and relieved.

Then Hua Lantian calmly asked him to call Si Jing Lihua over. When Si Jing Lihua appeared in front of everyone, Hua Lantian raised his hand without hesitation and slapped her hard in front of everyone.

The palm strike was extremely powerful, and the sound was crisp and loud, echoing in the air, as if to let everyone hear the decision and warning at this moment.

(Just listen, Hua Lantian’s grip is incredibly strong! If he really used all his strength, she would be screwed…)

Hua Lantian's eyes were firm and sharp, as if telling Sijing Lihua: "You should wake up. This world is not a place that your Sijing Group can manipulate at will, nor is it a place where you can dominate everything."

He hopes that in this way, Shijing Lihua will realize her mistakes and understand that she cannot do whatever she wants just because of her family background.

(Of course, it should be emphasized that this is just a plot arrangement in the novel. In real life, we should never take such insulting actions against others lightly. Slapping someone in the face is an act of disrespect and damage to the dignity of others, whether male or female, and will lead to serious consequences and conflicts.

We should resolve issues peacefully, rationally, and respectfully, avoiding violence or infringements on the rights of others. Respecting and understanding others, and properly handling differences through communication are the correct paths to building a harmonious society.

Our spoiled and pampered Miss Shijing Lihua was called here for no apparent reason and was already confused and at a loss.

However, this sudden slap was like a bolt from the blue, leaving her completely stunned. She stood there for a long time without being able to recover.

Meanwhile, Chairman Shijing and the surrounding guests were stunned and at a loss for what to do. Maori Kogoro was chewing food, but in shock he stopped chewing involuntarily, and even the food fell out of his mouth.

Xiaolan covered her open mouth in disbelief, her eyes full of shock; and Conan also had a look of astonishment on his face, obviously extremely surprised by what was happening before his eyes.

Who could have predicted this? This guest, Hua Lantian, seemed unknown to the public, yet he would actually do something so surprising at the birthday party of Sijing Lihua, the eldest daughter of the Sijing Group! This was truly beyond everyone's expectations.

"Brother Lantian...! How could you be like this..." Conan, no, the washing machine, is someone who has experienced big scenes.

He hurried out to seize the opportunity and blamed Hua Lantian first. Otherwise, if Hua Lantian was blamed by his master first, he would definitely be in a worse situation.

This sentence was like a thunderclap, waking up the stunned crowd. Some of them felt sympathy, some gloated, and they all looked at Hua Lantian, who had withdrawn his hands and put them in his pockets, looking at Shijing Lihua, whose half face was swollen.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro quickly stood up and prepared to go forward to mediate the tense atmosphere. Xiaolan quickly reached out to cover Conan's mouth, fearing that he would say something to irritate Miss Shijing again.

At this moment, something unexpected happened - the usually spoiled and willful Miss Sijing suddenly laughed wildly as if she had gone crazy!

“Hahahaha, ahhahahahaha…”

The laughter echoed throughout the room, making people's hair stand on end. Everyone was startled by her sudden action and cast surprised glances at her.

However, Miss Sijing did not stop her crazy behavior. After laughing for a while, she suddenly became unusually calm. Her originally clear eyes were now filled with resentment and hatred, staring at Hua Lantian intently.

"I want you to die! I'm going to make you into a concrete pier and sink you into Tokyo Bay... Dad, please help me kill him, Dad!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, as if it would pierce everyone's eardrums.
