Chapter 62 Idol Kidnapping Incident & Official Confession

"Mr. Lantian, are you free to go to Two-Mix's concert this week?"

"Of course, Ayako. What's the exact time...?"

"It starts on Saturday afternoon...!"

"No problem, I will definitely pick you up on time...!"

"But Sonoko, Xiaolan, and I want to go a little earlier. We have some flowers to send, so could you please pick me and Sonoko up a little earlier, and then pick up Xiaolan..."

"Of course, don't worry, I won't forget...!"

"Great, then we have a date. See you on Saturday..."

"Okay, see you on Saturday, Ayako...!"

“Well, bye…!”

"Bye-Bye……!"

After hanging up the phone, Lan Tian smiled happily. He was looking forward to going to the Two-Mix concert with Ayako. It would be an unforgettable experience.

At the same time, he was also very happy to help Ayako realize her wish. Thinking of this, Lan Tian felt that his life was full of fun and meaning.

Thinking of this, he opened his phone to check the location of Two-Mix's concert this Saturday, and then he was stunned, because the venue was actually the Budokan, which meant the kidnapping of a popular artist.

Now he thought to himself: "I have to solve their problem quickly, otherwise my rare date with Ayako may not go so smoothly." He knew that time was running out and he couldn't delay too long.

He went on to think: "If I help them, maybe I can ask them to let me go up and sing a few songs. After all, Conan, who is tone-deaf, can go up, so why can't I." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Finally, he thought again: "Also, it should be about time. We've been on a lot of dates recently, and Suzuki Ayako already treats him as her own. It's time to find an opportunity to formally confess my love and propose. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

He was determined to seize this opportunity and express his love to Ayako. After all, the sooner they confirmed their relationship, the sooner they could spend time together openly and without having to endure the teasing of that nosy gossip girl.

Thinking of this, Hua Lantian rushed to the door, picked up the car keys, and walked quickly to the garage. Then he drove off, heading towards the Jinzi Jewelry Store. Yes, that store that later became a frequent target of criminals and had bad luck.

I have to say, the items in this store are really good. Otherwise, why would those criminals always keep their eyes on it? Whether they have already committed crimes or are planning to commit crimes, they are all eyeing it, which also proves the quality and value of the goods in Jinzi Jewelry Store.

"Welcome... to... you...! Sir, is there anything I can help you with...?"

With some stumbling words, a waiter from the store came up hurriedly, with a smile on his face and a flattering and fawning tone, to greet the man who came in a luxury car.

"Hello, could you recommend me a pair of rings I could use to propose? I'd also like to know if you can order a high-end wedding ring here...?"

Hua Lantian walked to the counter, and asked curiously while looking at the things inside the counter.

"Of course, sir. Please wait a moment and I'll show you all of them. Let's look at the ready-made rings first, okay...!"

When the salesperson heard that a big order had come in, he immediately became even more flattering and replied with a smile on his face. He thought that as long as he could close this deal, his commission for this month would be guaranteed.

So he enthusiastically recommended various styles of rings to Hua Lantian, trying to meet the customer's needs.

Not long after, Hua Lantian, carrying a paper bag, happily got into the car and left the Jinzi Jewelry Store with the sales staff's farewell.

He chose a diamond ring. Although the diamond scam has been cracked in our time, it still attracts people from that era.

In this way, Hua Lantian smiled foolishly at home for a few days, waiting for Saturday under the strange looks of Zhu Fujingguang and Ma Shengshi.

He got up early in the morning, got everything ready, made breakfast, and then sat there blankly with a silly smile on his face.

Then he was teased for a long time by Zhu Fushigaki and Masami Nagisa who showed up later. Hua Lantian couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the car keys and ran away in a huff.

He planned to go for a drive outside, then go to the Poirot Cafe and wait until the afternoon, have lunch and pick up Xiaolan directly, so as to facilitate his plan.

After a while, a black Silver Thor II stopped in front of the Poirot Café. Hua Lantian went in and asked Enomoto Azusa about a parking space. After all, he didn't want to be towed away by the tiger of the traffic department, Miyamoto Yumi, for illegal parking. That would affect his plan.

After parking the car, Hua Lantian sat down and ordered a cappuccino, then took out his mobile phone and started researching ways to confess his love on an early Internet forum while drinking coffee.

"Hey, Uncle Maori, I'm at the Poirot Cafe downstairs from you. I'll treat you guys to a small meal...!"

Seeing that it was almost noon, Hua Lantian called to invite Maori Kogoro and his family to have dinner together, so that he could take Xiaolan away directly after dinner.

"Okay, okay, of course no problem. I'll bring Xiaolan and that little brat over later. Sorry to trouble you, Lan Tian. Hahahaha..."

Kogoro Mouri was very happy on the other end of the phone. Having a free meal was one of his favorite things, especially delicious food. Poirot Cafe happened to meet his taste buds' requirements.

After Hua Lantian hung up the phone, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that this lunch would be a pleasant time.

After a while, Maori Kogoro brought Conan and Xiaolan to Poirot Café. As soon as he entered, Maori Kogoro smiled and said to Hua Lantian: "Haha, Lantian, we are here! I am really sorry to have to let you spend money today."

Hua Lantian quickly stood up to greet them and replied with a smile, "No, no, Uncle Maori is so polite. Everyone, please take a seat. The food will be served soon."

After Maori Kogoro and his family sat down, they started chatting. Xiaolan asked curiously, "Brother Lantian, why are you here so early...?"

"Well, Xiaolan, I just had nothing to do, so I got up early and thought I'd go for a drive and have lunch. I drove near your house and decided to eat here.

Besides, we haven’t had a meal together for a long time, so we can just invite Uncle Maori and you guys to have a meal together. It’s not a big meal, please forgive me, but we all know that Miss Xiaozi’s cooking skills are quite good, hahahaha…!”

Hua Lantian said the reason he had thought of long ago and started to fool people. Xiaolan was still very naive and kind, so she believed it at once. However, Conan guessed that Hua Lantian must have something to do and that he must be lazy, so he laughed disdainfully.

In this way, the lunch ended happily with Hua Lantian and Maori Kogoro's family chatting with each other, and there was just enough time to pick up Suzuki Ayako and Suzuki Sonoko.

Xiaolan and Hua Lantian got in the car and set off. Conan went out to play by himself, while Mouri Kogoro walked back to the Mouri Detective Agency and started his daily life of watching TV.

"Xiao Lan, I might need your help with something today. Don't worry, it's not illegal. I hope you can agree...!"

While driving, Hua Lantian carefully glanced at Xiaolan who was sitting in the passenger seat and chatting with her best friend on her mobile phone, and said softly.

"Oh? What's that?" Xiaolan was a little surprised when she heard this, but soon she smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Lantian, as long as I can do it, it's no problem~"

After saying that, she put down her phone and turned to look at Hua Lantian, her eyes full of enthusiasm.

Xiaolan was actually happy to help Hua Lantian's request because Hua Lantian was always very kind to them, not only taking care of them but also helping them a lot.

But she herself had never found a suitable opportunity to repay him. So when she learned that Hua Lantian needed her help, she expressed her willingness to help without hesitation.

"Okay, I feel relieved with what you said. You'll definitely know what it is when the time comes...!"

Hua Lantian said mysteriously.

"Oh~ Looks like I can be of great help this time...!"

Xiaolan was also interested and hoped to help as soon as possible.

After a while, they arrived at the Suzuki residence, "Ayako, and Sonoko, good afternoon...! Let's go...!"

"Good afternoon, Lantian...!" Suzuki Ayako responded in a very ladylike manner.

"Good afternoon, Brother Lantian, let's go quickly...!" Suzuki Sonoko was still carefree. For her, she had been waiting for a long time, and she already regarded Hua Lantian as her own, so she didn't care so much...

"Okay, everyone get in the car, we'll leave right away...!" Hua Lantian opened the car door like a gentleman, greeted the two young ladies from the Suzuki Group, then closed the door considerately and drove off.

……

"What did you say...! Two-Mix has been kidnapped...! Little brat, I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense...!"

In the staff office of the martial arts hall, Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and spoke to Conan in front of her.

"Is it true, Sonoko-sister? We all saw it...!"

Seeing their friend being questioned, the other kids in the Suicide Squad stood up to testify.

"You, you guys...!" Sonoko still didn't quite believe it, so she spoke a little stutteringly.

"Sonoko, I think this is true. I just checked. One of them has been missing for a long time. Now the kids are saying they saw two people kidnapped. So it must be true...!"

Hua Lantian opened the door and said.

"Lan Tian, ​​what should we do now? Looks like we won't be able to watch the concert today...!"

Suzuki Ayako walked to Hua Lantian a little worriedly and said.

Seeing that his chance to show off had come, Hua Lantian couldn't possibly give up so easily. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Ayako, leave this matter to me. I will definitely let you hear the concert...!"

After saying that, he patted Suzuki Ayako on the shoulder, then started running, saying as he ran: "By the way, everyone, don't run around. Ayako, Xiaolan, and Sonoko, please keep an eye on these children. Conan, you are responsible for contacting Inspector Megure and tell him about this matter...!"

He walked to his car and then skillfully dialed the number of Dokujima Kiriko.

"Hey, Busujima, immediately take your men to search for the black van with a hat on that's lingering on the road near the martial arts hall. If you find it, contact me immediately. Thank you so much...!"

"Okay, Mr. Hua, I'll make arrangements right away. Do you think we should stop the vehicle or take other measures?"

The slightly excited voice of Kiriko Busujima came from the other end of the phone. She felt that this help would improve her status in Hua Lantian, so she agreed without hesitation.

"We need to stop them. They're kidnappers. They've kidnapped Two-Mix. Except for Two-Mix, everyone else is a bad guy. Also, please bring me a bouquet of flowers suitable for confessing my love. They'll be very useful to me. Thank you so much...!"

“Glad to help…!”

After making the call, Hua Lantian hurriedly drove out of the martial arts hall. Although he could rely on Busujima Kiriko for help, he still had to search on his own. Maybe he would find it first.

Moreover, he is searching on the road, so when the news comes, he can arrive at the first time, which is very efficient.

"Hey, Mr. Hua, we've found the person you're looking for, and we're already preparing to stop him...!"

"Okay, here's the address... I'll be right there...!"

"The address is...!"

……

"Mr. Hua...!" "Hello, Mr. Hua...!" xN

"Hello, there's no need to be so polite and make such a big deal out of it...!"

"Of course. Busujima Kiriko-sama has already explained everything. As for those kidnappers, we'll take care of them for you, so don't worry...! Oh, and here are the flowers Busujima Kiriko-sama asked me to give you...!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Also, thank you, Busujima-sama, for me. I have something urgent to do right now, and my phone will be turned off soon, so I won't call anymore...!"

After saying that, Hua Lantian pulled the still confused Two-Mix into the car and returned to the martial arts hall.

"Thank you, sir, for saving us...!"

After holding it in for a long time, one of them finally plucked up the courage and said something.

"Um, you're welcome. Don't get me wrong, I'm a normal person, not some gangster. This is my business card...!"

Hua Lantian saw that they had misunderstood and quickly handed them his business card. They took the business card, confirmed it, and were shocked. However, before they could speak, Hua Lantian spoke first.

"Saving you today was a matter of convenience, but since I saved you, can I ask you to do me a favor...? Don't worry, it's not anything criminal...!"

“Huh…?! Of course you can…!”

……

"Alright everyone, today I'd like to invite a guest to sing a song. Please ask our lighting technician to start selecting the guest...!"

"Okay, please invite this gentleman to come up to the stage. Sir, may I ask your name?"

"My name is Hua Lantian, thank you for inviting me...!"

"Wow, Brother Lantian, Brother Lantian, you were chosen, you are so lucky...!"

"Well, thank you for your blessing, Yuanzi..." Hua Lantian smiled slightly and then went on stage. He sang a love song, igniting the atmosphere of the audience, and finally said:

"Today, I want to tell a very important person something very important...!"

As he spoke, someone handed him a bouquet of flowers from behind. Hua Lantian took the flowers, stretched them forward, knelt on one knee, and continued, "Ayako, will you marry me...?!"

Suzuki Ayako was stunned for a moment. At this time, Xiaolan and Yuanzi immediately understood what she meant. They knew it was time for them to take action. No matter whether they succeeded or not, they had to send the person up first.

Just after they sent the person up, Suzuki Ayako came to her senses. She took the bouquet without hesitation and said, "I do...!"

Then Hua Lantian quickly took out the ring box, opened it, took out the ring, and handed it to her to put on. At this moment, both of them smiled happily, and Suzuki Ayako in the field led the fans to cheer wildly...
