Chapter 330 Those who are sharp-tongued are not good people
Current record (25/1)

The banquet was carried out in an orderly manner under the watchful eyes of more than 30 policemen. Although so many policemen would cause some trouble to the people around, fortunately, most of the people here were policemen or their families. Only some were relatives and friends of the bride and groom, so the atmosphere was quite lively.

As the sun sets, the banquet lasts from morning to night. It's not that this seems so luxurious, but many people present are exchanging information. For example, a certain car tycoon is chatting with people from the Transportation Bureau, and a certain well-known police figure is giving guidance to the younger generations. In short, in addition to blessing the bride and groom, everyone is chatting happily.

"Gulp.. Gulp.. Huh..." Beside me, Shiho gulped down a glass of water without caring about her image for a rare time.

"Drink slowly, Bao Er, no one is competing with you." I took a tissue from the table and handed it to her. "Isn't it just a chat with my mother? Why are you so nervous?"

"Hu..." Shiho let out a long breath and patted her still hot cheeks. "I've never been so nervous as today." Because of the lighting and the people present, Shiho's conversation with her mother was interrupted several times. Every time, she was relieved, her heart was lifted up again. This back and forth made Shiho very nervous. Fortunately, the final conversation was successfully completed. My mother joined the circle of adults, and Shiho was able to sit next to me and rest for a while.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shiho." I reached out and poked Shiho on the cheek as a greeting. "But my mother just told me that she is very satisfied with you."

"This... is disgusting. No, don't say it." The blush that had just fallen immediately climbed up Shiho's cheeks again. This was probably the first time in the past 18 years that Shiho blushed so many times, right? Hmm... Maybe it was the same when she first got together with me? Well... who knows.

"Haha, I won't tease you anymore. Have a good rest." I took a piece of cake from the table. "Would you like to eat something? It seems like you haven't eaten anything in the past few hours since you came here."

"I was so nervous that I didn't dare to eat it, for fear of burping." Shiho smiled helplessly and took the cake from my hand. At the same time, she also looked at my mother not far away. "Your mother, aunt, she is really a kind person."

"Hmm? Although I agree with you, I still want to ask why you say that?"

"Aunt asked me a lot about us, and more importantly, she wanted to know more about me personally and how much she cared about me." Shiho recalled the conversation she had just had with her future mother-in-law. "She asked me very obscurely about your missions. I couldn't avoid it, so I mentioned two relatively minor missions. In fact, Aunt just asked me if I cared about you... killing people."

"Is there no escape after all?" I sighed. "And then? What do you say?"

"I just said that you killed people just to protect your family or something like that." Shiho continued. "And then my aunt... said thank you to me and that she would not have any grudges against you because of this kind of thing."

"Well... after all, I have such a good daughter-in-law, so I can understand what my mother said." As I said that, I took a sip of water to cover up my embarrassment.

"My aunt also told me about Sister Jingliu."

"Poof!!!!" I sprayed out the water before I finished it. Suddenly I remembered my mother's teasing on the phone, be careful of a fire in the harem. "Well, then?" I wiped the liquid from the corner of my mouth.

"My aunt didn't seem to know that Sister Jingliu and I knew each other, so she told me something about Sister Jingliu's existence. But I have explained to her that we have known each other from the beginning."

"Phew... That was a close call. I almost thought there was a fire in the harem." I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead.

"You seem to be glad to have a harem?" Shiho glanced at me coldly. "Or do you want to expand it further?"

"Uh... I don't dare. Hehe." I smiled hastily and ended the topic in a huff.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Sara, did Mr. Kotaro ever propose to you?" The banquet was coming to an end, and everyone was chatting with each other. At this time, Miss Sonoko was also chatting with the bride and groom. Anyway, the awkward topic was over, so I took Shiho back to the crowd. Looking back, I saw Conan and his father talking to Officer Takagi. But I didn't pay much attention to it. Most likely, they were asking Takagi questions about the case.

"No, Kotaro is the last one to say such romantic words." Sara teased her new husband, while Kotaro smiled awkwardly.

"This kind of man is actually good." My mother said with her arms crossed. "A sharp-tongued guy is not a good guy." As she said this, my mother also looked at my father who was still holding Gao Mu's collar not far away. At the same time, I also felt the gaze coming from the side.

"People who are sharp-tongued are not good people. Is the same true for people who can write romantic love letters?" Shiho said playfully.

"Hey, hey hey hey..." Facing Shiho's playful look, I had no choice but to raise my hands in surrender.

"Hey, Mom, I've been wanting to ask you a question for a long time." Xiaolan suddenly became curious for some reason. "How did Dad propose to you?"

"Yeah." Yuanzi next to him also had a look of anticipation on his face.

"Alas...you just say some corny words." Mom blushed.

"Teacher, tell me about it." Sara also looked expectant.

"Eh?" Mom's cheeks felt slightly hot. She said awkwardly, "But, I forgot everything."

"Haha, stop it." Yuanzi added fuel to the fire. "Just tell me what you want to say."

"That's right. I can use it as an important reference in the future." Sarah suddenly became formal.

"That's right...Mom, don't keep us in suspense." Xiaolan chimed in.

"This... ah... I'm impressed by you kids." Mom thought with her chin in her hand to hide her embarrassment, and then said in a very low voice. "It's probably, I really love you. I like you more than anyone else on earth..." "Huh?!" After hearing what Mom said, the biggest reaction was from me and Shiho beside me.

"Should I say like father, like son?" After a brief moment of surprise, Shiho approached me with a sly look in her eyes and asked, "Are these familiar words? Or are they memories from your past life?"

"Uh...haha, it's just a coincidence, a coincidence." Just kidding. Although I told Shiho that I came here with my memories, I didn't mention that she was just the protagonist of a cartoon. I absolutely cannot let her know that I learned this from here.

"Hmph~" Shiho smiled softly. I didn't pursue it further. Maybe it was because she just talked to my mother and now she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Ah~ It would be nice if Shinichi could say the same thing to me." His attention was drawn to Sonoko's sudden words. She clasped her hands together in a prayer gesture, her eyes full of stars as she spoke, and then she nudged Ran, who was also coming back to her senses from her expectations, with her elbow. "I can tell what you're thinking from the look on your face, right?"

"Sono, Sonoko!" Xiaolan's cheeks were red. Fortunately, Conan was not here at the moment, otherwise, Conan would have been embarrassed. Oh, Conan came over and joined our conversation, but he missed the scene perfectly.

"Toshiya! Why are you here?" We were about to continue this topic when we were suddenly attracted by a commotion at the door. We looked over and saw that at the entrance of the banquet hall, Odagiri Toshiro's serious look had turned into anger. He was pointing and gesturing at a young man dressed in avant-garde clothes, saying, "You shouldn't have been invited to the banquet."

"Stop yelling! I'm here for work, why are you yelling at me!" The young man lit a cigarette. Judging from his appearance, this young man was somewhat similar to Odagiri Toshio.

"That young man is Chief Odagiri Toshiro's son, Toshiya." Dad came to the front of the crowd and said to us. "I heard that he did not inherit his father's business, but played rock music instead."

"Well... Chief, please don't be angry." Shiratori rushed forward to comfort him when he saw the sudden situation. "Minye, just stay and eat something..."

"Get out! Stop looking for food here, you stray dog!" Odagiri Toshio didn't give his disobedient son any face at all.

"What did you say!" Min Ye was about to explode, but was stopped by Sato behind him. Perhaps Min Ye and Sato had known each other for a long time, so Min Ye gave up the argument with his father, left a message saying sorry for disturbing him, and then left with his guitar on his back.

After the incident, the party went on as usual. Mom, Xiaolan, and Sara were still talking and laughing. The children were sent back early by Dr. Agasa because it was too late. Of course, Xiaoai stayed with me, and I would send her back in person. I thought today's party would end in this peaceful atmosphere. However, near the end of the period, a conversation between Inspector Megure and Inspector Sato attracted my and everyone's attention.

"Officer Sato." Officer Megure lowered his voice. "About that matter..."

"It's okay with me~" Sato immediately declined.

"But..." Inspector Megure hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Sato waved his hand and walked out of the venue.

"Xiao Xun, do you think it is possible..." Conan looked at me suspiciously.

"Who knows." I shook my head in understanding. "But the police officers here have not dispersed. They must be protecting someone who has not left yet. As for whether it is Sato, no one knows."

"Well, I hope I'm just overthinking it." Conan sighed.

"Hey? Where's Xiaolan?" I looked around and found that there was no sign of Xiaolan. Wasn't she there just now?

"I went to the bathroom." Shiho walked towards me, wiping her hands with a handkerchief. "I just ran into her in the bathroom."

"Oh, by the way, it's getting late, Ai, let me take you home." Conan was beside me, and I was not used to calling her Shiho.

"Yeah. I'm a little tired today." Shiho nodded and agreed. After all, she had talked with her mother for a long time, and the nervousness alone consumed a lot of Shiho's energy.

"Well. Let's go, I'll go talk to my dad..."

call. . .

Before he could finish his words, the hall suddenly became pitch dark.

"Huh? Power outage?" I subconsciously looked above my head and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Hey, Xun, this can't be..." Conan also became nervous and began to be alert to the surroundings.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!" A female scream came from outside the banquet. Although the scream was extremely high in decibels, I could still clearly recognize the owner of the voice.

"Oh no, it's Xiaolan!" The alarm in my heart suddenly burst to the extreme, and I rushed out with a kick of my feet. Conan also reacted quickly and followed my footsteps, but unfortunately his speed could not keep up with me.

"Damn it..." Shiho said angrily, her brows furrowed as she watched us walk away. "The worst thing that should have happened still happened."
