Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

In the evening, at the villa restaurant.

At the end of the long dining table, five people were sitting neatly.

Morgana, who was thinking about the party that night, twisted and turned in her seat a little anxiously. When her eyes fell on the boy opposite her, her impatience became more and more obvious. When her eyes moved to the man next to her, there was a hint of gloating in her impatience.

The man next to her noticed the woman's gaze and looked over coldly.

He was a handsome man dressed in a black, couture suit. His features were deep and three-dimensional, embodying most of the qualities of a Western handsome man. Even his dark brown, slicked-back hair was meticulously groomed, giving it an unusually neat appearance. He sat there with his back straight, his eyes gleaming with a calm, cold glint.

This is Morganna's husband, Lex Lauren, who is currently working as the Deputy Director of the CIA's Intelligence Division. He is one of the youngest officers in CIA history and has considerable abilities. He is expected to go further in the future and become the youngest chief of the CIA.

When he saw this person for the first time, Baichuan Qiu knew that this person was not easy to deal with.

The other person has a similar aura.

That is also a dangerous signal.

As young Master Ian's temporary teacher, "Wei Yu Wen Shu" was also allowed to sit at the dining table and was honored to participate in this internal family gathering.

But it was obvious that he had no say at the table. The best thing to do at the moment was to lower his head and eat quietly, pretending to be invisible and not existing.

The seating arrangement this time was: the eldest host, Dresser, sat in the main seat, "Ian" and "Tail Feather Wenshu" sat on his right, and Morganna and Lex sat on his left.

In fact, Morgana didn't like this arrangement very much. She would rather sit with that ordinary-looking lawyer than with that damn Lex. It was a torture for her.

But under the pressure of patriarchy, she could only sit in her seat obediently.

Unlike Morgana who pouted secretly, Dresser looked very happy today. He even had a smile on his face. He drank the red wine in his glass and looked at his two children beside him lovingly.

He had never imagined such a scenario before.

And now, these imaginations have become reality.

Dresser was very satisfied. He raised his red wine glass and said gently, "Today is a memorable day. Our family is finally reunited. Let's toast to this!"

Morgana reluctantly raised her wine glass without saying anything. Instead, Lex beamed and said in Sakura language, "Father has always missed his children far away on the coast. Now that Ian is finally back in our arms, things will surely get better and better."

Kudo Shinichi raised his glass in surprise, his eyes meeting Lex's sincere gaze, and he thanked him shyly, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

"Tsk, thank you brother-in-law~"

Morgana muttered unhappily, imitating the boy's tone. Only Lex beside her heard it. The man glanced at the idiot beside him and didn't say anything. Even the smile on his face didn't change at all. He continued talking to Ian:

"I came here in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts. I hope Ian doesn't mind. I'll have someone send you a newly released Ferrari tomorrow. If you need anything in the future, just come to me and I can help you."

"Tsk, it sounds nice, but in reality it's nothing."

Morgana continued to output quietly.

Although her voice was very soft and no one else could hear it, Kudo Shinichi and Shirakawa Akane who were sitting opposite her could basically read the general message from her lip reading.

Kudo Shinichi held up the glass of juice with a very forced smile on his face. He had a deeper understanding of Morgana's character: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Baichuan Qiu raised his eyelids and looked at the man, and his evaluation of him became higher.

His expression is flawless, every word he says is full of true feelings, and he remains calm in the face of difficulties. He is a tough guy.

Perhaps it was because like attracts like, but Baichuan Qiu always felt his hands itchy.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the steak on his plate. The hand that was holding the knife and fork trembled slightly.

——He was so excited that he felt the blood in his body was boiling. Some strange magic was attracting him to challenge.

"Host?" the system asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Your heart is beating very fast."

Ever since Baichuan Qiu was seriously injured last time, the system has started physical detection and checks Baichuan Qiu's physical condition from time to time to prevent other problems.

And now Baichuanqiu's heartbeat was obviously abnormal, and the system responded immediately.

Shirakawa Qiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He glanced at Kudo Shinichi beside him, slowly cut off a piece of beef with a slight streak of blood, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it viciously: "This is the detective buff that has increased my strength again."

It turns out that the detective is so close that if he meets a high-level Xiao Hei again, he will uncontrollably feel the desire to challenge and try to prove his "Xiao Hei status" to the other party.

It's just outrageous.

There were actually messy thoughts like "This is an opponent worth challenging" and "Damn, his existence is a provocation to me, let me teach him a lesson"...

How come I never had this thought before!

Is it because he is in a special environment now?

Baichuan Qiu glanced at everyone at the table and suddenly understood.

There are five people at the table at this moment, just one detective, one deceased person, and three suspects. Isn’t this the classic configuration of the Conan world?

Just apply the formula and it’s done in seconds!

The deceased is most likely Green Chat. His daughter and son-in-law both have reasons to kill him, and the purpose of his trip is also to kill Green Chat, so he also has a motive to kill.

This time, the Green Chat people looked tough, and it turned out that they were ready to die.

It’s true... classics never go out of style!

Of course, this is just Baichuan Qiu's fantasy.

In fact, the meal was very peaceful. Everyone was at peace with each other and there was even little conversation, let alone a murder.

Soon, this small family gathering ended smoothly.

Baichuan Qiu, who originally thought that something was about to happen, was disappointed for a moment.

Alas, he thought Green Chat would be dead soon.

Shirakawa Akane looked at Kudo Shinichi, feeling very disappointed with him.

Death, what are you doing? Show some strength! Bring me a corpse!

Kudo Shinichi met Mr. Shirakawa's strange gaze and scratched his head in confusion.

Obviously, Baichuanqiu's wish was dashed.

However, before leaving, Baichuan Qiu was unexpectedly stopped by Lex.

"Mr. Wei Yu." Lex still took the initiative to communicate in Sakura language to show his respect.

Bai Chuanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Lex, is there anything else?"

As expected of people from the Conan world, they can all speak Sakura language. That's normal, normal.

"I heard that Ian was brought back by Mr. Tail Feather. Thank you so much this time." Lex handed over a check. "This is a gift from me and Morganna."

Bai Chuanqiu looked at the check and thought that the world of the rich was so decisive and direct. He smiled and took it: "You are so polite. This is what I should do."

Can I keep this money? It’s a lot of money!

"Ian has been delayed on the island for many years. Although you are a lawyer and not responsible for teaching, this child trusts you, so please pay a little attention to him."

Bai Chuanqiu nodded: "Of course, I will definitely take good care of Master Ian."

This Lex...seems different from what I imagined.
